Reborn since 2005

Chapter 90 Feng Xi who sets up a stall

Xiao Shiyu agreed to pretend to be Yan Xin's partner, which made Yan Xin very excited.

He had to find someone to play the role, and obviously Xiao Shiyu was the most suitable person he knew.

Judging from the way Xiao Shiyu dressed when she was studying, her family was not short of money, and she was more suitable for the character of a rich girl given by Yan Xin.

Moreover, we are not from the same town, so the chance of being exposed is very small.

There is another very important reason, Xiao Shiyu is pretty, and it would be very cool to bring such a girl home.

Although it is only a temporary one, it can still give him some face.

While chatting, Yan Xin suddenly thought of the last time he met this old classmate in his previous life, which was also the first time after graduating from high school. It was in a cafe, where he drank a cup of coffee, chatted about each other's past, and then parted ways.

This time, if I treat the other party to a meal, can I repay the cup of coffee that the other party bought me in my previous life?

In a previous life, Xiao Shiyu flew to Pengcheng to meet him and drink that cup of coffee.

In this life, he pays 500 yuan to invite the other party to come over to act as a couple and have a meal.

The stories are different, but the result is the same - there will be no result.

While chatting with Xiao Shiyu, Ai Lili and Chen Li also sent messages.

Aili asked Yan Xin how it felt to go home, and asked him to take more photos and show them to her when he went back, so that she could understand what the Chinese New Year is like in rural areas now.

Currently, QQ on mobile phones does not have the function of sending pictures directly, otherwise you can take pictures and send them directly.

Chen Li has nothing else to do but talk about the current subscription data and discuss the plot of the next novel.

I also showed Yan Xin the content of the novel I wrote in the past two days and asked him to review it to see if there are any poisonous points in it.

By the time the chat ended, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

When I woke up the next morning, it was almost eight o'clock, and I had a good sleep.

After getting up, I saw Yan's father making breakfast. There was a fire on the stove, and there was also a fire in the stove. One was cooking and the other was heating vegetables.

The dish is the leftover chicken soup from yesterday, and I added some Chinese cabbage to it.

The food is heated on a coal-burning stove, but it is not coal, but firewood.

Burning coal is more expensive, and the wood is just miscellaneous trees cut down in the mountains by yourself, so you just need to put in a little effort.

People here are basically like this in winter. They heat the dishes on such a stove and eat around the stove when eating, which is a little warmer.

You can add vegetables to the pot while eating, just like eating hot pot.

In fact, this way of eating is also called eating hot pot here.

However, it is not the same as the hot pot served in hot pot restaurants in the city. It is more like a pot of random stew, and the picture is just hot.

When Yan Xin got up, the rice was not yet cooked.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I felt the weather was a little cold, so I sat by the stove to warm up.

While warming themselves by the fire, he talked to his father:

"Dad, we have a guest coming over today."

"What guest?" Yan's father was stunned for a moment.

Yan Xin looked a little shy and said: "Um...didn't I tell you yesterday? I talked to a person. She is from our county. She wants to come to my house and have a look. She may have a meal here at noon.

meal."

Dad Yan suddenly became nervous: "Is your partner coming over today?"

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, I was chatting with her last night and she insisted on coming over to take a look. There was nothing I could do."

Father Yan fell silent.

It was originally a good thing that the partner of my son was coming over.

But when I looked at my home, it was really dilapidated. There was no family in the village that was poorer than theirs.

He hesitated: "If she comes and sees our house like this, will she be scared away?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen," Yan Xin said with a smile, "I've already told her about my family situation, and she said it's okay."

"But our family is too poor. If people come over and see it, can we really accept it?" Dad Yan said.

The poverty you imagine and the poverty you actually see are two different things.

Some people have not been exposed to poverty and may think that poverty is just that and not a big deal.

But when you really face poverty, you will feel fearful and avoid it.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this," Yan Xin said, "If you really dislike our family, I won't want someone like that."

Father Yan thought to himself: "There are so many women like this in the world. If you have such thoughts, I'm afraid you won't be able to get a wife in the future."

Just looking at his son's confident look, it's hard to pour cold water on him.

Moving on to the next topic: "When your partner comes to your door for the first time, what size of red envelope should I give as a father?"

When you bring someone to your door, you usually have to seal a red envelope. This is the local custom.

But there is no certain standard for how much to seal.

Rich people have more entitlements, and poor people have less entitlements.

There will also be those who lose their temper because of insufficient red envelopes.

Father Yan is not sure how much should be sealed.

Yan Xin smiled and said: "We are only eighteen or nineteen years old now, and we are still far away from the age of marriage. Her coming here this time is not a formal visit. Just treat it as a friend I brought here, and give her a hundred

Let’s think of the yuan as lucky money given during the Chinese New Year.”

"Is it a little less?" Yan's father hesitated, "I heard that some people in the village charge several thousand yuan."

"When it comes time to actually talk about marriage, you can give me a few thousand more. It's not necessary now. If you do this, people won't dare to come over in the future." Yan Xin said with a smile.

Yan's father still felt uneasy, but his son insisted on it, and in the end he had no choice but to listen to him.

While eating, I asked again how to entertain this special guest at noon.

"Go to the pond and catch a few larger crucian carp, then stir-fry some bacon with garlic sprouts, and make a plate of cabbage. That's pretty much it," Yan Xin said. "It doesn't need to be too grand just to come over for a visit."

After eating, it was already 8:40, so Yan Xin left home and went to the canteen at the intersection to wait for the bus.

At 8:50, the minibus running this line would pass by here, and he would take the bus to the town to pick up Xiao Shiyu.

Xiao Shiyu has already sent him a message: "I have already set off, please come and pick me up quickly."

She didn't have a car to get to Yan Xin, so she could only take a car to another town, then transfer from that town to Yan Xin's town, and then Yan Xin would pick her up in the town.

Of course, you can also wait for the bus from the county seat when you arrive in town, but you have to wait until after eleven o'clock, which is a bit tortured in this winter.

The best way, of course, is for Yan Xin to come to town and have a motorcycle rider pick her up.

——It's obviously not safe for her to go to a strange village as a girl to ride a motorcycle. It would be best for Yan Xin to pick her up.

When Yan Xin went out, he felt that the temperature had dropped again, so he added an extra woolen sweater and two pairs of long johns.

The down jacket he was wearing outside was given to him by Ellie. It was a bit more expensive, but it was warm and looked good.

After waiting for a few minutes at the canteen, I got on the minibus and sent a message to Xiao Shiyu:

"I'll be in town in ten or twenty minutes. Where are you now?"

Xiao Shiyu: "I'm waiting for the bus to your town. It's so cold today. I'm not wearing enough clothes and I'm freezing to death!"

Yan Xin felt a little sorry and sent a message: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Shiyu replied with a smile: "It's okay, just make money."

When he arrived at the town square, Yan Xin got off the car.

After getting off the car and walking a few steps, I was stunned.

In a corner of the square, he saw someone he once knew quite well.

Feng Xi.

At this moment, this seventeen-year-old girl was standing in front of a clothing stall setting up a stall.

I was wondering: "She is not short of money either. Her brother sends her five hundred yuan for living expenses every month. Why is she setting up a stall in this cold weather?"
