Chapter 117: Go back to the countryside
Chapter 117 Returning to the Countryside
Aunt Liu was frightened: "Ye Xingling, how dare you!"
"What don't I dare to do?" Xia Ling didn't have a good temper to begin with, and her previous tolerance had already made her very impatient. Now she got angry and said to Master Zhou, "Throw her out of the car."
Master Zhou responded, got out of the car, opened the back door, and said to Aunt Liu, "Please."
Aunt Liu looked at his serious expression and realized she was afraid. She held on to the seat tightly: "I won't get off!" I'm just kidding, this place is in the wilderness, on the side of the national highway, there is no bus station or taxi. If she were there, I got off the bus here, wondering if I could find other means of transportation.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Father Ye had no choice but to persuade him: "Xiao Ling, your Aunt Liu said something wrong, don't take it to heart. Ask the master to drive quickly. You see, if you go late for grandma's birthday party, it will be too late." …”
Xia Ling said: "Don't want to go down? Then apologize to me."
“Apologise to you? Why!” Aunt Liu was about to have another attack.
Master Zhou reached out and grabbed her arm: "Madam, please get out of the car as soon as possible and don't let me use force."
The situation was stronger than the situation. Aunt Liu was filled with anger, but she had to bow her head and apologize to Xia Ling: "I'm sorry."
“Don’t want to get out of the car?” Xia Ling asked coldly.
"In no mood…"
"Very good," Xia Ling said, "Then shut up. If you say one more word on the road, get out of the car immediately. No need to discuss."
"Xiao Ling, what are you doing..." Father Ye wanted to ask her why she spoke to Aunt Liu, but he swallowed his voice under Xia Ling's cold gaze. Is this girl really his daughter? When did you become so tough and scary?
Aunt Liu was afraid of being thrown under the bus, so she promised Xia Ling in a low voice that she would keep quiet.
Xia Ling was then satisfied and signaled Master Zhou to continue driving.
After this turmoil, no one said another word along the way. The scenery on both sides of the road gradually became desolate, changing from high-rise buildings to low farmhouses and green fields, giving it a rural scene.
The white BMW stopped in front of a farmhouse.
"Uncle Three! It's Uncle Three, Aunt Three, and Sister Xiaoling!" As soon as the car door opened, a child jumped up and shouted around them.
"Lele." Seeing the girl, Father Ye's frown was wiped away. He pinched the little girl's red face and said, "Where is your mother and grandma?"
"My mother is cooking, and grandma is in the room. Many people are there, including the eldest uncle, the second aunt, and the fourth uncle..." Lele counted them one by one with her fingers. "The fourth uncle gave grandma a big one." Everyone is watching the bed."
“Let’s go and have a look too.” Father Ye said.
In the open space outside the gate, Xia Ling stood a little lonely. Looking around, she saw a small two-story building unique to rural areas. There was a watchdog lying on the haystack in front of the building. Next to the haystack were some old wooden doors. There is a pair of Spring Festival couplets written in red calligraphy on it, which have faded due to the sun and rain.
All this is very unfamiliar to her. She used to grow up in an orphanage, and was later accepted into a wealthy family by Pei Ziheng. After she was reborn, she also lived in Tianyi Training Camp and Li Lei's apartment. This was her first time in the countryside. The smoke and wheat fields so close at hand, as well as the lively and laughing children, made her feel a bit at a loss. She didn't even know what to do with her hands and feet.
Father Ye was already greeting her: "Come, Xiao Ling, come with me to see your grandma." This cowardly man became happy because he returned to his hometown. He no longer remembered Xia Ling's indifference along the way and greeted her warmly. stand up.
Just as Xia Ling was about to go in, the driver, Master Zhou, stopped her: "Miss, your things." He handed a large, beautifully packaged cardboard box to her.
Xia Ling remembered that it contained a gift for Grandma Ye. She thanked Master Zhou and asked Master Zhou if he wanted to go in and sit down. Master Zhou said no and drove away, agreeing to pick her up the next day.
Xia Ling followed Father Ye and Aunt Liu into the house while holding a big cardboard box.
The rooms in the countryside are large, and one of them is full of people. Xia Ling immediately saw the huge canopy bed in the center of the room. It was dark red and had exquisite wood and carvings. It must have been the mahogany birthday gift from her fourth uncle.
Sitting on the mahogany canopy bed is an old woman with gray hair, eyes closed, and a kind smile on her face.
"Grandma." Before Xia Ling could react, she had already called out. She was slightly startled. It was as if grandma had called her countless times before, and she was extremely familiar and natural.
Grandma Ye heard her voice and turned her head: "Xiao Ling? Is it Xiao Ling..." The old man was blind, and stretched out his hands to **** tremblingly, "Xiao Ling is here? Hurry, come to grandma..."
Everyone turned their heads and their eyes fell on Xia Ling who was entering the door.
They saw a girl with pretty features, wearing a half-sleeved shirt, with porcelain white and delicate complexion, standing quietly in the shadow by the door, so peaceful and beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
"It's really Xiao Ling who's here," the second aunt laughed first and greeted her warmly, taking Xia Ling's hand. "Your grandma talks about you every day. She hasn't come back in these years. Don't forget us poor relatives." ”
Xia Ling felt a little uncomfortable as she grabbed her hand and brought her to Grandma Ye.
"Come on, good boy, let me take a look..." Grandma Ye, with the help of others, carefully touched Xia Ling's face with her wrinkled hands, passing between her eyebrows, eyes and lips one by one, "It's Xiao Ling, it's "Xiao Ling is right," Grandma Ye said happily, "Good boy, how many years has it been since you came back to see grandma? Grandma misses you..."
There are many younger members of the Ye family, but they all have a father and a mother. Only Ye Xingling was bullied by her stepmother since she was a child.
Grandma Ye felt sorry for her and took great care of her, so compared to other children, she was the one who missed her the most.
In Xia Ling's mind, many memories belonging to the original owner of the body came to her mind, and she felt close to Grandma Ye unconsciously. She didn't know whether it was because of the influence of the original owner of the body, or because she had never had an elder care about her. Has she ever loved her so much?
She sat obediently next to Grandma Ye and smiled: "Grandma, I brought you a gift."
"Gift?" A good-hearted female voice rang, "Xiao Ling, I heard that you are a big star now. I wonder what good things you have brought back to your grandma? Your fourth uncle also gave you a mahogany bed. You The gift must be better than his, take it out quickly and let us see it. "
Xia Ling raised her head and recognized the voice based on the memory of the original owner of the body. It was her fourth aunt and uncle's wife.
When she said this, everyone became curious: "Yes, Xiaoling, what good thing are you going to give grandma?"
“It’s not something valuable,” Xia Ling said.
The fourth aunt's eyes flashed with a hint of victory and a hint of disdain. "No way, your Aunt Liu boasted about Haikou, saying that the thing you are going to give will definitely be no worse than this mahogany bed." The fourth aunt covered her mouth and smiled.
