During the period after the high school entrance examination, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen completed the two clothing design drafts they had received from Manager Huang. On July 8th, after they completed the drafts in the town, they drove back directly.
Home.
"Girl Jin, boy Yan, come here, come here, there is a place behind here," Xiang Jin heard a voice shouting to them as soon as the two got in the car.
The two raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw two aunts from the same class sitting in the two seats next to each other in the second to last row at the back. One of them was Ai Can's little fat man's niece Yang Shuying.
The other one was the sister-in-law and her mother-in-law who were also cooking for Xiang Jin's classmate last time. It was the sister-in-law's mother-in-law who called them both.
"Hey, Aunt Suping and Aunt Shuying, you two are also rushing to the market?" Hu Yulan learned how to cook from her, and opened a shop in the county town to make money. Now the relationship between Yang Shuying and their family has eased a lot.
, so Xiang Jin also said hello.
The two of them nodded and smiled when they looked at her, and then Yang Shuying said, "Come quickly, there are two seats at the back, and I will take them all for you."
After thanking Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, he walked towards the back. At this time, there were indeed not many seats left in the car.
As soon as they sat down, the conductor came over to collect the money. Yan Chen took out the money to pay the fare. Then he asked the two aunts in front if they had paid the fare. The two turned around and said that they paid it themselves.
Yan Chen directly handed a ten-dollar piece of land to the conductor, "Four together," he said while pointing at several of them.
The conductor nodded and gave him two yuan in change.
Aunt Yang Shuying and Aunt Suping were a little embarrassed, so they said coquettishly that they were adults, so how could they ask a child to pay for it? It was so embarrassing.
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. I happen to have some change with me, so let's come together."
The two of them thanked me, and Yang Shuying saw that both of them were holding something in their hands, so she took the initiative and enthusiastically suggested, "How about you put the thing in my back? It won't be very comfortable to hold it like that."
Yan Chen didn't care because he was holding a few books, but Xiang Jin was really in trouble because she was holding a meat bag. It didn't matter if it was meat, as long as the bag didn't break the grease.
It can't be infected on her body, but the key is that there are ribs and stick bones in the pocket. These two kinds of bones are slaughtered, and some of the bones are spiked, so the pocket can be easily punctured.
of.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then I'll let it go. Thank you Aunt Shuying."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, what does this mean?" Yang Shuying waved her hand.
Then Xiang Jin put her bag in her back, and then she turned her head and asked Yan Chen, "Will you put it away?"
Yan Chen glanced at the bamboo basket, then shook his head, "I don't need to let it go."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked him, "What book did you buy?"
""The Ordinary World", "Gone with the Wind"!"
""Gone with the Wind"? So, did you buy the pure English version, or the English-Chinese version?"
Seeing that she seemed interested, Yan Chen said, "Purely English version."
"Which of these two books do you plan to read first?" Xiang Jin asked.
She had seen the movie "Gone with the Wind" before, but not the book. She had never seen this book in a bookstore before. She didn't expect that she would not buy the book today, but Yan Chen would buy it for her.
Yan Chen handed her "Gone with the Wind" and said, "I'll watch "The Ordinary World" first."
Xiang Jin smiled and rolled his eyes, "Then I will borrow your "Ladle" to read first. Don't worry, I will try to read it within two days and then return it to you."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay, don't be so anxious. It will probably take me about a week to finish watching "The Ordinary World"."
"Okay, then I'll pay you back two days later!"
Yan Chen nodded slightly, and then began to read the book. Xiang Jin also opened the pages and started reading.
After a while, Yang Shuying turned around and called her, "Girl Jin?"
"Huh?" Xiang Jin still looked at the book in her hand without raising her head.
When Yang Shuying saw that she was reading, she hesitated a little. Xiang Jin saw that she had called him for a long time but did not speak. After turning the page of the book, she said, "What's the matter? Aunt Shuying has something to say to me."
explain?"
Then Yang Shuying said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask if you saw your sister-in-law on the street today?"
"Huh? What? Who?" Xiang Jin was suddenly confused and didn't react for a long time.
Seeing her confused expression, Yang Shuying remembered that her family had severed ties with Lao Xiang's family for a long time, so she reminded her, "Xiang Yan, is Xiang Yan from Lao Xiang's family?!"
Xiang Jin suddenly realized, "Oh, her?" Then he shook his head, "I didn't see it, what's wrong? Is she also on the show today?"
After saying that, she lowered her eyes and started to look again.
Yang Shuying saw that she was focused on the book in her hand, so she said, "Oh, it's okay, I just wanted to ask if you saw her on the street today?"
Xiang Jin's eyes were still on the book, "I didn't see it. Their family has nothing to do with our family eight hundred years ago, so how do we know whether their family members are rushing to the market or not?"
Yang Shuying turned her head away again, and then Aunt Suping, who was sitting next to her, asked her, "Why are you asking Jin Yatou this?"
Then Yang Shuying turned her head and glanced at Jin and Yan Chen. Seeing that they were both reading the book seriously, she pulled Aunt Suping and whispered, "Let me tell you, I am here today."
I saw Xiang Yan from the old lady’s house on the street, what do you think she is doing?”
"What are you doing?" Aunt Suping asked.
"Oh, I can't even tell you this," Yang Shuying shook her head and looked embarrassed.
Aunt Suping nudged her gently with her elbow and said, "Look at you, you talk half-heartedly but don't say the whole thing. It makes people feel like a cat scratching."
Yang Shuying hesitated for a moment, then covered her ears and whispered to her.
"Ah? Hmm, how brave is Xiang Yan?" Suddenly Xiang Jin and Yan Chen heard Aunt Suping scream out in shock.
"Oh, please keep your voice down, please keep your voice down," Yang Shuyun then slapped Aunt Suping on the arm, then looked around and saw that Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were still there.
She carefully looked through the books in her hand, as if she hadn't heard anything at all, and then she felt a little relieved.
Aunt Suping quickly responded with "oh oh oh", and then lowered her voice and said, "Is Xiang Yan really that brave?"
Then Yang Shuying also continued in a low voice, "Isn't it true? You didn't expect it, huh? She usually looks like such a gentle and quiet little girl, who knew she was like that in private!
Oh my god, let me tell you, when I saw it, I thought I had mistakenly identified the person. I even rubbed my hands repeatedly and finally confirmed that it was that girl.
Oh my god, the intimacy she had with that man in that alley made even an old woman like me blush when she saw it."
Aunt Suping joked, "You're such a grown-up, why are you so blushing?"
Then Yang Shuying said with a serious face, "Isn't that right? Who of us at that time would dare to do that? Then if someone catches you, what's the point? Why don't you immerse yourself in the pig cage?
You said that even if you want that, right? It's not the same as your own family, and then wait until the dead of night when the people are quiet to do it in the dark, right?
You said it's not like some young people today who start messing around before they even get married? You say it's okay to mess around, anyway, you still have to set the occasion.
You don't even care about the occasion, just like other people in a small alley. You said this is too impatient, too careless about image, and too shameless and shameless, right? What if someone sees this?
How embarrassing and shameless is that? You don’t even have any sense of shame!”
Aunt Suping nodded, "Yes, yes, some young people nowadays are very wild! Oh, are you sure it's really that girl Xiang Yan? I still can't believe that that girl can do something like that.
Something outrageous?"
Then Yang Shuying glared at her sideways, "Look at what you said, can I still tell lies? Although our family doesn't deal with Lao Xiang's family, there is no need for me to slander others? Then I am
You can see it clearly and clearly."
Then Suping sighed, "Oh, why do you think that girl is like that? I really don't understand!"
Then Yang Shuying said, "Ask me, which one should I ask? I'm just like you, I can't figure it out either. You said that we also watched that girl grow up. I always thought she was good. Who knew?
She is such a person. She really cannot be judged by appearance, nor can she be measured by sea water?
If you ask me, it's still a matter of tutoring in Lao Xiang's family. You see, the old woman usually spoils her children. None of them are decent. So, Xiang Tao, Xiang Jiao, Xiang Hai, which one of these is better?
None of them are good, so how can Xiang Yan be better?"
Aunt Suping nodded, "You are right. Those children in her family are really, well, have you seen that man? What does he look like?"
"What does he look like? I can see half of his face. He looks like he is in his thirties. He is of average height and a little thin."
Aunt Suping was surprised, "Thirties? That old?"
Then Yang Shuying frowned and nodded, "Isn't that right? I was shocked when I saw that man's appearance. You said she had to find someone younger, at least she should find someone about the same age as her.
It matches, but she actually found such a man, anyway, the man's face looks older."
Aunt Suping said, "Oh, do you think the reason why that girl has failed the exam all these years is because she has been fooling around with others and not focused on studying?"
Then Yang Shuying said, "How did I know? But having said that, Xiang Jinniang and the others were really wronged in Lao Xiang's family. You said that you worked hard to make money for others to study. Not only did they not express gratitude,
As a result, I was left with a lot of complaints.
That old lady Zhang was still outside telling people that the reason why her family Xiang Yan kept complaining about dizziness was because Yang Juyun was not willing to prepare delicious food for her daughter, which caused her to fail to keep up with her nutrition. Now it seems that she
It’s a loss of health, because I didn’t study seriously at all.”
After saying that, she turned around and glanced at Jin and Yan Chen with a guilty conscience. Seeing that they were still looking at the books in their hands seriously, she turned around with confidence and continued with Aunt Suping.
He was muttering.
Aunt Suping nodded in agreement with her statement, "Isn't it? Fortunately, they divorced that family later. If they had stayed in that family, they would have been working for others for the rest of their lives.
An end."
"Well, yes," Yang Shuying also nodded, and then said with some schadenfreude, "Well, tell me, if old man Na Xiang and old lady Zhang find out about this, how do you think they will react? Look at their reaction.
A whole nest of children is so arrogant all day long, don’t you know how amazing it is?”
"What's your reaction? You'll definitely be pissed off!"
Then Yang Shuying nodded, "Yes, if I had a daughter like that, I would probably be pissed to death! What do you think this is?"
At this point, she added, "It would be fine if that man married her later. If he doesn't marry her, whoever marries her in the future will be unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
Aunt Suping nodded and said, "What are you talking about? In the end, it is the girl who suffers in things like this. Do you think she can still get an advantage? She is young and ignorant now, you see.
Yeah, she will regret it in the future!"
"Oh, don't say it, don't say it. After all, this is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with us, right?" Then Yang Shuying said again with an unconcerned look.
Aunt Suping also agreed, "That's right, that's right!"
The two of them thought that Xiang Jin and Yan Chen didn't hear anything, but in fact they listened to every word of their conversation.
In fact, even Xiang Jin and Yan Chen themselves thought that they probably didn't hear each other.
After Xiang Jin heard what Yang Shuying said, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Oh, I am afraid that the world will not be in chaos. On the surface, it is none of your business, but in my heart, I am very happy that this matter has spread."
Everyone in the world knew it, and she had a gut feeling that this matter would soon be spread in their bay!
Sure enough, on the day when Xiang Jin and Yan Chen went to school to get their report cards, they were walking near Mr. Liu's house. From far away, they saw a few people blocking the road not far ahead, and then they heard
When Yang Shuying was shocked, she was in awe.
"Am I talking nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense, I have evidence. Come on, let everyone comment."
Then Xiang Jin and the others saw many people around them heading in that direction.
Then Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "What are you doing there? What's the basis?"
Yan Chen said, "It's probably Yang Shuying who wants to expose Xiang Yan's affairs."
Xiang Jin pointed at his nose and said in surprise, "Oh, it turns out you didn't read seriously that day?! I heard everything! You pretended to be so good! You actually fooled me!"
Yan Chen glanced at her with a smile, "To each other, each other, aren't you reading seriously?!"
Xiang Jin snorted, and Yan Chen continued, "How can I concentrate on reading when the car is so noisy? It's even more impossible for Li Suping to concentrate on reading when she screams. Besides, if I don't pretend to be more like them, they
How can we continue talking? And even if this matter gets spread in the future, it can’t involve the two of us, right? We have always been immersed in reading the whole process!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's true. It's because of this that I pretended to read the book seriously. Let me tell you, those two women are just afraid of chaos in the world. On the surface, they say they don't do their business.
In fact, I wish this incident had happened earlier. You see, it’s only been two days since I couldn’t bear it any longer!
In fact, from the moment Yang Shuying turned around and asked me if I had seen Xiang Yan on the street, I knew what she wanted to say to me.
If the scandal is exposed, am I so easy to take advantage of?"
"Well, I know, you are very smart, you have always been smart!" Yan Chen nodded, and then his eyes were filled with smiles.
Xiang Jin raised his eyebrows and said with an arrogant look, "That's right, I'm smarter than many people. It's really impossible for ordinary people to make calculations."
Seeing her proud expression, the smile in Yan Chen's eyes became even brighter.
Xiang Jin quickly suggested with a sly expression, "Hey, how about we go and have a look too?"
Yan Chen's brows furrowed, "Filthy words, what's so interesting about that? Let's go back!"
Xiang Jin stood still, looking a little angry.
Yan Chen took two steps and saw that she didn't follow him, so he turned around and glared at her.
Xiang Jin jumped in front of him in a few steps, stretched out his hand and tugged on his clothes, "I'll just watch for a while. Let's stand on the outer edge and watch. I just want to see the reaction of the old Xiang family, or
How about you go back by yourself and I can go see it alone?"
Seeing her coquettish look, this was the first time she showed such a daughterly attitude in front of him, Yan Chen's heart suddenly felt as if he had been hit by thousands of volts, and he stared at her
After a long time, I saw that her big clear eyes not only had a hint of cunning and cleverness, but also a hint of stubbornness and hope, and also a hint of excitement and excitement.
So many emotions were gathered in these eyes, and Yan Chen's heart suddenly softened, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then just look at it for a while, just for a while?!"
"Yeah, yeah," Xiang Jin nodded quickly, but she didn't realize that she would actually care about Yan Chen's opinion now. If she wanted to do something in the past, she would have done it herself. Why would she do other people's things?
The two people walked towards the crowd together. At this time, a lot of people had gathered there, at least ten or twenty people.
Then Yang Shuying said again, "As you know, I got rid of the old sow in my house last winter because it didn't eat much, so my family didn't have any piglets to raise.
That day I went to the pig market and went to the pig market. I originally planned to buy two piglets there to raise, but the main road to the pig market was a bit detoured, and it was hot. There was no shade from the trees.
Yes, so I took a shortcut and passed through those small alleys.
Oh my god, when I passed by a small alley, guess what I saw?"
Seeing her showing off, someone asked in agreement, "What did you see?"
Xiang Jin and the others also walked closer, and then they saw Xiang Yan and the old woman Zhang being surrounded in the middle of the crowd. The mother and daughter were holding each other's arms and cuddling. Xiang Yan looked like a little white rabbit.
Just like that, the old woman pursed her thin lips, raised her triangular eyes, and glared at Yang Shuying with a hateful expression.
Looking at Yang Shuying, she waved her hands and said, pretending to be shy, "Oh, I'm embarrassed to say this!"
Someone urged, "We are all from the same Bayou. If there is anything you are embarrassed to say, please say it quickly. Say it quickly. What are you trying to do to quench your appetite?!"
Some people also echoed, "That's right, say it quickly, say it quickly!"
Yang Shuying glanced at everyone present. When she saw Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were there, she put on a pretending friendly smile and said to them, "Girl Jin, boy Yan, you two are still the same."
Children, you can’t listen to this, you all should go back, huh?”
Everyone else present looked at the two of them and saw that they were both standing outside, holding a paper roll in their hands. Everyone guessed that they were going to school today.
After I came back with my transcripts, I happened to be walking here and saw something going on, so I gathered around to join in the fun.
Xiang Jin chuckled a little, and Yan Chen secretly laughed, then he reached out to pull her, "Let's go back!"
"Oh oh oh," Xiang Jin reacted and quickly turned around and left.
After walking for a while, Xiang Jin asked, "What does Yang Shuying mean?"
Yan Chen said, "Is this for your own good?!"
Xiang Jin said "poof", "She's not doing it for my own good, she's trying to create a good person image for herself.
Oh, you think this Yang Shuying is really interesting. She wanted others to know about this. Why didn't she tell them quietly in Wantou? Why did she create such a big fight?
Do you think that if she secretly told others behind their backs, wouldn't it be better to let the people in Wan Tou spread the word? Why would she reveal it herself? She couldn't wait to eat it if she didn't see the look that the old woman looked at her just now.
Did you kill her? Now the feud between the two families is dead!"
Yan Chen said, "Everyone has different ideas. Some people like to play dirty tricks, and some people like to blatantly humiliate others. Do you think she is telling others about this behind their back? Then Xiang Xiang
Don’t the family know that she spread the news?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's true."
There was no room for gossip, no play, and there was only one road and no place to hide. Xiang Jin and Yan Chen had no choice but to keep walking forward.
After walking slowly for a while, Xiang Jin looked back and saw that everyone had withdrawn their eyes from the two of them, so she glanced left and right, and then saw a corner not far ahead.
There was a place, so she took Yan Chen's hand and hurried there.
"You? You still want to listen?!" Yan Chen stared.
"Shh," Xiang Jin raised a finger and made a silent gesture toward him, "Listen for a while, listen for a while?! I have a gut feeling that there will be a sequel!" She then stared at the person with breathless concentration.
Many places.
Yan Chen was speechless, but he looked at her hand holding his arm and didn't let him go, so he leaned on her again.
Then they heard Yang Shuying say again, "Well, since you asked me to say it, then I will say it?"
Some people became impatient and said, "Tell me, tell me, tell me! Moji!"
Yang Shuying then asked to clear her throat, "I just saw it. Xiang Yan was actually having sex with a man in that alley. No, it wasn't teasing. They were two people hugging each other and kissing.
Oh, it’s chewing, but I’m so passionate about making out!”
"Fuck you, Yang Shuying, you bitch, I have to beat you to death." After hearing this, the old woman Zhang let go of her daughter's hand, and then stretched out her hand to pounce on Yang Shuying.
past.
Yang Shuying didn't wait for her to pounce on her and hit her, and then ran away. As she ran, she shouted, "Aunt Guiping, I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. Both of them were disheveled at the time. You
My daughter was vomiting while walking on the road, so I thought she might be pregnant. What's wrong?"
There was an uproar immediately, and everyone was sighing. Xiang Jin also opened his mouth, "Xiang Yan is pregnant?! Oh, this melon is too big!"
"Let's go!" Yan Chen glanced at her angrily and tried to leave.
Xiang Jin dragged him, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman Zhang's breathy voice came out, "You, you bitch, are you pregnant? Your whole family is pregnant!
My daughter caught a cold last night and had a bad stomach, so she vomited!
Don't listen to her nonsense here, she just has a grudge for stealing firewood from our family's slope before, and I scolded her severely that time, so she has been looking for opportunities to take revenge on our family."
Then Yang Shuying said, "I would like to get pregnant, but my wife has been dead for so many years. Besides, I am too old to get pregnant, right?"
I really want my two daughters-in-law to give me two more grandchildren or granddaughters, but they both have things to do now, so there is nothing to worry about.
Besides, Aunt Guiping, if your daughter is pregnant, wouldn't you know if she went to the hospital for a checkup? Why are you talking to me about this? I'm not a doctor, you think so?"
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, "Is this Yang Shuying still showing off?"
"Xiang, Jin?!" Yan Chen frowned, and then glared at her with a look of warning through gritted teeth.
Xiang Jin let go of his arm and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!"
Now that the news about Xiang Yan's pregnancy has come out, there really isn't anything nice to hear about it anymore. It's just nonsense and point-blank talk. In the end, it has nothing to do with them.
