Reborn since 2005

Chapter 299 Outsider

Feng Xi, the girl who followed Yan Xin, knew her as Bai Xiaoling, the daughter of the tofu seller White Widow. They used to be classmates, just like the relationship between Yan Xin and Feng Chen. They were classmates from elementary school to junior high school, but in high school

, she was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, while Bai Xiaoling studied in No. 2 Middle School.

No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in the county, but No. 2 Middle School is not the second best high school in the county, but the bottom one.

The third middle school and the fourth middle school are both better than the second middle school.

Bai Xiaoling's grades were not good enough, so she went to No. 2 Middle School, which has the worst teaching quality.

They were classmates when they were in primary school in the village, but they no longer had classmates in junior high school.

Feng Xi was deeply impressed by Bai Xiaoling because Bai Xiaoling was considered the most beautiful female classmate in the class.

So she recognized it immediately.

Bai Xiaoling is the daughter of Widow Bai, but Widow White is not named Bai, but her surname is Wu, named Wu Xiuhong.

Everyone calls her the White Widow just because her husband's family name is Bai. After her husband died, she still lived there and she was a member of the Bai family.

The names here are basically the same.

"This is the difference in treatment of eating Guoguo - I only sent a few pieces of tofu and nothing else, but they sent nutritional supplements, and then they also had food and drink."

Then he said: "Then walk slowly."

Then Bai Xiaoling was very interested in his house and wanted to take a look.

Feng Chen knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said nothing.

In a few months, after taking the college entrance examination, I will enter the society and go out to work.

Before Bai Xiaoling could speak, Yan Xin on the side explained:

"Yesterday, my dad and I went home from my aunt's place to say New Year greetings. We met her and her mother on the way. It happened to be raining at that time and they didn't bring an umbrella, so we gave them a lift. Today, her mother asked her

I sent some tofu over to express my gratitude."

Making tofu is a very hard job, and making tofu alone is even harder.

She is already eighteen years old, and No. 2 Middle School is not a very pure place. Among her classmates, there are many who fall in love prematurely. Although she has not fallen in love prematurely, she understands many things.

Bai Xiaoling said from the side: "People of the previous generation were like this, especially those in single-parent families. My mother was the same. She just came home from visiting relatives yesterday and started preparing to make tofu. She didn't even ask for a few more days of rest during the Chinese New Year.

"

It is quite normal for a child who is only seventeen or eighteen years old to have such thoughts.

Feng Chen was a little embarrassed about the basket of oranges and felt a little helpless. He smiled and explained to Yan Xin: "My sister brought these oranges."

Feng Xi made a gesture to Feng Chen and said, "My brother wanted to come to see his old classmates and insisted that I come over, so I came over."

Sitting there, eating melon seeds, thinking:

Yan Xin is quite handsome, his house is beautifully built, and I heard his salary is quite high.

But when he went home for the New Year, he also bought some gifts like this, not for his dad to eat, but to give them to others to show face.

Yan Xin was quite surprised when he saw Bai Xiaoling sending a few pieces of tofu from so far away - the tofu was fifty cents a piece, and five pieces of tofu were given as a gift, which was two yuan and fifty cents. It was really not worth traveling several miles for this little thing.

Delivered on the way.

After chatting for a few words, Bai Xiaoling got involved and shared with them some happy and unhappy things about visiting relatives during the New Year.

He also brought the coal stove from the kitchen, which was burning coal, and everyone was warming up around the stove.

Bai Xiaoling originally just wanted to satisfy her curiosity and then go back.

He also said that he has been riding in cars since the Chinese New Year and hasn’t walked for a long time, so he should take a walk.

She felt that it would be a good choice to be with such a man.

Moreover, it is still the beginning of the first month of the year, so there are many people in the town, so we have to sell things faster.

When Feng Chen and the others came, Yan Xin naturally wanted to entertain them. He invited them into the house, gave them slippers to put on, and placed fruit plates and drinks in the main room to entertain them.

But after walking around this small villa and feeling what it was like to live in a wealthy family, my thoughts changed and I didn't even want to leave just like that.

——She was unhappy just because her mother had to work during the Chinese New Year and she had to be dragged along.

The more she talked about it, the more depressed she became: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to rest during the Chinese New Year, she still has to drag me along so that I can't live in peace during the Chinese New Year."

Bai Xiaoling glanced at Yan Xin in surprise and thought to herself: "Is this person so enlightened?"

Feng Chen didn't have any other ideas. He and Yan Xin were chatting happily about visiting relatives during the New Year.

In contrast, he felt somewhat ashamed and said awkwardly:

"Yeah, it shouldn't have been so hard..."

There was a lot of doubt in his heart, but after Feng Xi glared at him, he decided to pretend that he didn't hear anything, and then greeted Yan Xin.

Bai Xiaoling is still wearing slippers on her feet now. Obviously she didn't wear them from home, but changed to Yan's shoes.

The Yan family is in the 12th group, and it is also on the east side of the village, but not as east as the Feng family, and the distance between the north and the south is a bit far, and there are one or two miles between them.

Feng Chen looked at his sister with a question mark on his face and thought to himself: "Did I insist on her coming here? Didn't she insist on following me here?"

Feng Chen said with a smile: "Maybe I was used to being poor before and haven't adapted to the rich life now."

In fact, even if it was her home, she couldn't do such a thing.

Yan Xin asked his father not to work so hard, but the persuasion was useless. His father's reason was that the brooms had already been tied up and were being wasted at home if they were not sold.

Bai Xiaoling looked at the gifts they proposed. Needless to say, the oranges were not valuable, but the two nutritional supplements looked quite high-end. She suddenly felt ashamed and thought to herself:

When I think about it, I feel a little excited in my heart.

Her mother started making tofu before dawn, and ate very early. After dinner, she would carry a burden and go from house to house selling tofu.

He had no choice but to take the little girl upstairs to take a look.

It's hard for him to refuse a gift, because before the Chinese New Year, he sent a pair of wine. It would be a bit pretentious to say no under such circumstances.

Before he finished shopping, Feng Chen's car drove over, and that's what happened now.

So she decided not to waste such a great opportunity created by her mother for him. As long as the master didn't chase her away, she would stay here.

Yan Xin quickly said: "My family is not rich, I just say that I don't have to worry about money so much."

Yan Xin's persuasion was ineffective, so he could only watch his father carry a load of brooms to sell.

Yan Xin said depressedly: "After breakfast, I went to the next town. It was the sixth day of the lunar month and it was already the New Year. It was time to get to work. I went there to buy seeds."

Although Bai Xiaoling was just helping out, she still felt it was quite hard. Naturally, she felt unhappy and had some complaints against her mother.

He wasn't originally asked, but when he saw that Feng Xi's face looked a little ugly, he felt inexplicably weak, so he quickly explained.

The difficulties at home make her more realistic than others of her age.

Everyone has almost the same idea.

As for the two nutritional products, he actually didn't take them seriously, knowing that they were things that collected IQ tax.

Bai Xiaoling helped: "Yan Xin is such a good person. My mother said with emotion yesterday that if we hadn't met him, we would have been soaked in the water."

Yan Xin glanced at Feng Xi, and then said to Feng Chen: "Your oranges are quite delicious, I like to eat them."

As soon as Feng Xi got out of the car, Bai Xiaoling exclaimed and walked towards her: "Feng Xi, it's you! I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?"

Even if those brooms are sold out, they only cost tens of dollars, so it's not easy to pick them up.

What made him feel even more depressed was that his father not only went to buy seeds, but also picked up a load of brooms that he had tied and went to town to sell those brooms.

"My mother asked me to give a gift, and she just gave me a few pieces of tofu. This is such a heavy gift. This is not a way for me to come here to express my gratitude, but it is a way for me to come here to embarrass myself."

But this is not her home, it is Yan Xin's home, and she cannot do such a thing.

Yan Xin said: "Isn't that right? It's not like he's short of money. I wonder why he works so hard?"

Then the other party replied: "No, I have something to do at home and I have to go back."

I can only endure it.

Her mother hoped that she could deliver the tofu before the Yan family made breakfast so that they could eat it in the morning.

"Won't you sit down for a while?"

"Forehead……"

From west to east in the south of the village, groups 1 to 6 all live under the river embankment. Feng Xi lives in group 6. On the far east side of the village, there is another village just across the road.

But walking there, back and forth, takes half a day.

Feng Chen: "Well, if you like to eat it, ask my dad to send a bag to your house this winter."

Feng Xi said oh and felt a little more comfortable, so he didn't say anything.

Feng Chen also asked: "Where is your dad? Why didn't you see him?"

The Bai family is in the second group, in the southwest of the village, far away from the Yan family, three or four miles away.

It's just that someone has already sent it to you. It's outrageous to ask someone to take it back after saying they don't want it.

Feng Xi recognized Bai Xiaoling at a glance, and Bai Xiaoling also recognized Feng Xi at a glance.

There was even an idea in my mind: "Maybe my mother asked me to send tofu all the way here not to thank her, but to create such an opportunity for me..."

Feng Chen and Ruan Mengyao both brought gifts when they got out of the car, including the basket of oranges that Feng Xi brought to the car.

If there is one person who can help, of course I will not let him go.

So now although Yan Xin thinks Bai Xiaoling's idea is disgusting, he doesn't have the shame to look down on her. He just sighs:

"They work so hard not for themselves, but so that their children can live a better life. However, for their children, their sacrifice is not worth it."

——Dad Yan can ride a bicycle, but it just rained on the road yesterday and the road is not dry yet, so he can't ride a bicycle.

Seeing Yan Xin's depression, Feng Xi couldn't help but said: "Your dad is also really diligent, but a little too diligent."

Bai Xiaoling walked all the way, and the soles of her shoes were already covered with mud. She would be very dirty when she entered the house, so Yan Xin got her a pair of slippers and let her wear them in.

If the tofu is not stored properly, it will not be good if it is given too much. The father and son cannot eat that much, and it will only spoil.

It's impossible not to consider those realistic things.

The reason is simple - when we were studying together, Feng Xi was the one with the best grades in the class and was the envy of her classmates. Every classmate had a deep impression of her and it would be difficult to forget her.

It can only be accepted.

Bai Xiaoling didn't leave, so she was naturally among the guests.

It had rained yesterday, so it was not easy to walk on this road. Bai Xiaoling appeared here so early, which made Feng Xi couldn't help but doubt the relationship between her and Yan Xin. She even had a little doubt whether Bai Xiaoling was there last night.

Live here with Yan Xin.

If her academic performance is not good, it is impossible for her to be admitted to college.

But Yan's father was going to town today, and breakfast was relatively early. By the time she delivered it, Yan's father had already gone out.

Feng Xi also found it quite strange and thought to herself: "Why is this woman still here? In what capacity does she stay here?"

Yan Xin did mention that he would drive to the town to help buy seeds, but his father vetoed it. His father said that the car would be muddy on the road in this weather. Don't make the boss's car dirty. It's better than him.

Walk there by yourself.

Bai Xiaoling also ate early and brought some pieces of tofu over.

She didn't know why she had to go all the way to send a few pieces of tofu. She might as well just give a few dollars yesterday, but her mother ordered her so, so she had no choice but to obey.

Unexpectedly, he sat down like an old friend and even ate snacks together. It was clear that he didn’t want to leave.

——Usually I push my bicycle, but there is too much mud on the road when it rains. When I push it, the wheel will be blocked by the mud, which is very inconvenient, so I can only sell it by hand.

I wish I could throw Bai Xiaoling out.

Yan Xin originally thought that Bai Xiaoling would leave on her own after Feng Chen and the others came over. He even thought of words to persuade him to stay:

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more uncomfortable.

He was always like this during the Chinese New Year in the past few years.

This is polite and polite, and everyone is happy.

On the north side from west to east, there are seven to twelve groups.

Feng Xi asked Bai Xiaoling: "Why are you here? I remember you seem to live in the second group."

The town next door he mentioned is not from their county, but a town across the river. That town belongs to another prefecture-level city. This village is just across the river. It is much more convenient and closer than going to their own town.

More than ten miles.

You also have to rush to sell them before others make breakfast, and you have to eat breakfast very early.

Welcome them all into your home.

It made him a little depressed, thinking: "Are these melon seeds really so delicious?"

It was only the sixth day of the first lunar month, and Yan Xin really didn't want his father to work so early, but there was no way to stop it, and he felt a little depressed in his heart.

When Yan Xin was 17 or 18 years old in his previous life, he was not much better. It could even be said that it was much worse.

Yan Xin smiled and said, "Thank you then."

This little girl didn't do well in studies, but she was quite thick-skinned. When she sat down, she didn't think of herself as an outsider. She started chatting and laughing, and she quickly blended in.

The only one who couldn't fit in was Feng Xi.

She was holding a bottle of Wahaha in her hand and sucking it with a straw in her mouth. She would look at this and that without saying a word. She looked a little ugly and looked like an outsider.

Feng Chen also observed this and had some worries in his heart:

"My sister is so stupid in her studies that she has no social skills at all. She sits here without saying a word and is more introverted than before. What will she do if she goes out into society in the future with a personality like this?"
