She Is From The Countryside

In Haicheng, at the entrance of a mansion in a high-end residential area, a taxi stopped, the rear door opened, and a girl got out of the car.

He is about 1.68 meters tall, well-proportioned, dressed in a white T-shirt with cropped black cloth pants and white sneakers, and has long black hair tied up in a high ponytail that reaches his waist.

It was noon when she got off the car, and the sun was very hot, so she slightly raised her hand to cover the sun and glanced at the mansion in front of her. Under the strong sunlight, the girl's appearance could not be seen clearly, but she couldn't hide her temperament.

The elegance is full of quietness, giving people a feeling of being a lady in ancient times.

She glanced at the mansion in front of her, then retracted her gaze, went around to the back of the taxi and opened the trunk to pick up her luggage. It was a big suitcase, and the taxi driver thought that a girl with small arms and legs couldn't carry it. He just got out of the car and was about to help when he saw her take out the suitcase easily.

"The little girl is very strong!" the taxi driver praised.

The girl responded with a small smile.

Only then did I see her face clearly.

She is beautiful, but not the kind of ostentatious beauty. She is very restrained and special, with a straight and upright appearance, just like the dignity that comes out of a lady's picture, it makes people feel very comfortable to look at.

After thanking him and paying the fare, he was about to drag his suitcase and walk towards the mansion not far away, when a person walked towards him.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Shi Yan?"

The person in his fifties looks like a very kind old man.

Shi Yan smiled slightly: "I'm Shi Yan, hello."

Seeing Shi Yan, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, but he was well-educated and quickly came back to his senses: "My name is Jiang Hai, and I am the housekeeper of the Jiang family in Haicheng. , let me receive Miss Shi."

"I'm sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother, don't bother. I learned that Ms. Shi has been admitted to Haicheng University. The old lady has been thinking about you for a long time, and she has been looking forward to your coming. If it wasn't for the sudden illness of an old friend, the old lady was going to visit, and she would say nothing. Leave when you come."

Shi Yan smiled slightly: "I'm sorry for her, old man."

"It's right to miss you. You saved the old lady's life."

"It's just a coincidence. It can't be used as the word 'save'."

"Miss Shi is too modest. You saved the old lady. It is a great kindness to the Jiang family in Haicheng. Let me carry the suitcase for you."

Before Shi Yan could answer, he took the suitcase.

Shi Yan didn't argue with him. Although the suitcase was a bit heavy, it didn't take much effort to drag it along the way.

She smiled slightly and thanked her.

The Jiang family in Haicheng is worthy of being a big family in Haicheng. The house is very large, and there is a long stone road when entering the gate. The stone road is wide enough to allow two cars to run side by side. On both sides are a row of big trees that can only be hugged by a person with open arms. It can be seen that there are many years old.

The flagstone road is cleaned very cleanly, and there are basically no fallen leaves.

"Usually the cars come in directly. Miss Shi, if you don't let us send a car to pick you up at the airport, the taxi can only go to the gate, so we still have to walk for a while." Jiang Hai patiently explained.

"Thank you." Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Miss Shi, you're welcome. My old bones should be more active. It's okay to walk a little bit. I'm afraid you will find it difficult to walk."

"I'm fine. I've lived in the country for many years, and I've worked a lot. It's not a problem to walk a little bit."

Jiang Hai said with a smile: "Ever since you rescued the old lady three years ago, the old lady has been taken care of by you for half a month at your house. When she came back, she often talked about how good and sensible you are. Now that I see you in person, I know the old lady Madame is not exaggerating."

"You're flattering me." She smiled lightly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Jiang Hai admired it in his heart.

No wonder the old lady has been reading, who doesn't like such a sensible, well-behaved, well-behaved child who is not overbearing?

Just looking at it like this, it is really hard to believe that she is a country child.

From words and deeds to manners to smiles, everything is inappropriate, and she is more like a lady than a real lady.

"Miss Shi and I will introduce the members of the family."

"it is good."

Listening quietly with a faint smile.

"In addition to the old lady, the Jiang family in Haicheng also has a grandfather and a lady. However, since the young master officially took over the family business and the uncle gradually retired, he and the lady no longer often live in the old house. Only the old man lives in the old house. A pair of children with the eldest lady, that is, the eldest young master and the eldest miss."

"The second master and the second wife are not in touch with the family's business. They are engaged in scientific research. They often work overtime or go on business trips, and they don't often live in the old house. They only have one son, the second-ranked young master, who lives with them , usually rarely go back to the old house."

"The third master is an actor, determined to dedicate his life to acting, and is not married. He is very busy with work, often travels around the world, and rarely lives in an old house."

"Only the fifth master lives in the old house. He is not in good health and has been recuperating at home."

"The composition of the members of the family is almost like this. Ms. Shi doesn't need to remember it deliberately, as long as she has a number in her heart."

The uncle, the second master, the third master and the fifth master have them all, so what about the fourth master?

Thinking so, but Shi Yan didn't ask rudely.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"Miss Shi, you're welcome. Even if I don't say these things, you can figure them out after staying in the old house for a few days. The members of the family are not complicated. I just suddenly thought of it and told you about it, so that you can feel it in your heart." There are a lot of them, so you don’t feel too unfamiliar and scared when you first come here.”

What a caring and kind man.

"You bothered."

Jiang Hai smiled and continued: "Missy is one month older than you, just like you, she just finished the college entrance examination and got the admission notice, so she can't stay at home so she accompanied the old lady to visit old friends. After entering Haicheng University, you will still be at the same school in the future."

"I heard Grandma Jiang mention this on the phone."

Shi Yan smiled and said: "But in terms of grades, I am not as good as Ms. Jiang. I just stepped on the admission line of my major. Ms. Jiang's professional admission line is much higher than mine, and she is even higher than her major. They have passed the admission score of Kyoto University, and Grandma Jiang said that she chose Haicheng University because she didn’t want to be too far away from home.”

"Everyone has their own strengths. Our young lady just happens to be good at studying. Maybe what Miss Shi is good at is something our young lady is not good at." Since he is only a housekeeper, Jiang Hai didn't judge the host's young lady too much, but He is already very good at talking like this.

"You look up to me."

"The old lady and the young lady are not at home. The young master is at the company, but he will come back in the evening, and Miss Shi should be able to see him then. As for the fifth master, he usually stays in his yard and rarely goes out. Miss Shi should be fine. Opportunities come across, but he doesn't like being disturbed by others, so Miss Shi will try to avoid Fifth Master's yard in the old house and walk around."

The last sentence was said quietly, but it was actually a reminder to Shi Yan.

I have to say that Jiang Hai is indeed a very good talker.

"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to in the old house?" I actually want to ask if there are any taboos.

It's just that Jiang Hai's words were tactful, so Shi Yan asked more tactfully.

"No, it's just that the young master always talks less and is relatively cold. If he treats you too coldly, I hope you don't take it to heart and just pretend that he doesn't exist."

At the end Jiang Hai added with a smile: "The old lady asked me to tell you this."

"The old lady said that it was hard for her to coax you to come to live at home for a while before school started. She didn't want you to have an unpleasant stay, let alone if you couldn't live after two days. She said that during the half month she lived at your house, you Take care of her like your own grandma, she once regarded it as her own home, I hope you can also regard Jiang's house in Haicheng as your own home."

After Shi Yan listened to his words, he didn't have a long speech of gratitude, but only smiled and said: "Grandma Jiang is a very kind old man, worthy of respect."

Neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Jiang Hai looked up to her again.

She felt more and more like a child who grew up in the country.

She is.

According to the old lady, when she lived in Ms. Shi's house for half a month, she heard from neighbors that Ms. Shi used to live with her grandmother, and when she was thirteen years old, her grandmother passed away, and she has been living alone.

From the age of thirteen to nineteen, from the first year of junior high school to the third year of high school graduation, he lived alone for six years.

Is a poor child.

But her demeanor really doesn't look like someone who could be raised by a poor family, let alone someone who became an orphan at the age of thirteen and lived alone.

Maybe some people are born with good temperament?

Coming out of the tree-lined stone path, you can see a large garden. In addition to all kinds of flowers in the garden, there is also a rockery lotus pond. This season is when the lotus is in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

Jiang Hai pointed to a building over there and introduced: "That's the main building, where people don't live. The first floor is the main hall for receiving guests; the second floor is the restaurant, where everyone usually eats; If the wives and young ladies need to entertain elegant guests, they are there, usually holding some tea parties or the like."

"Everyone in the family who turns ten years old will share a yard to live alone. Everyone has their own yard in the old house, even if they don't often live here. The yard arranged by the old lady for Miss Shi is next to her yard. Count you and The eldest lady's yard is closest to the old lady's yard."

"I'll take Miss Shi to the yard prepared by the old lady for you to resettle."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Hai was surprised again.

According to the old lady, Ms. Shi lives in a house with earthen walls and tiles in the countryside, and the vegetables she eats are all grown by herself in a piece of land in the yard. The conditions are very difficult. Why didn't she respond at all when she first entered such a mansion?

Her demeanor didn't look like she was deliberately pretending to be calm for fear of being looked down upon.

She is really calm. It seemed to her that this huge house was no different from the clay-walled tile-roofed house in her home.

It's really rare to have such a mind at this age.

No wonder the old lady loved her so much.

After dragging the suitcase all the way and walking for more than 20 minutes, I finally came to the yard arranged by the old lady for Shi Yan. The yard is separated by a wall, not too big, only a small two-story western-style building and a small garden.

Sending her into the yard, Jiang Hai didn't follow her into the house.

"It's not convenient for me to go in. Next, Xiao Zhao will take Ms. Shi. If you need anything, just tell Ms. Shi. She will arrange it, or you can call me directly. This is my business card."

Xiao Zhao is a maid called by Jiang Hai, she is in her thirties.

Shi Yan took his business card with both hands and smiled: "Thank you, thank you for picking me up personally."

"Miss Shi is polite."

After Jiang Hai left, Xiao Zhao said: "Miss Shi, let me take your luggage upstairs for you. The room and study are on the second floor, and the first floor is the living room. You can sit and rest on the first floor. I will pack it up." You go upstairs again."

Shi Yan smiled and refused: "No, I'll clean it up by myself. Leave me a call and I'll call you if I need anything. I've driven for a long time, and I want to take a shower and rest after I pack up."

"Then I'll take your luggage upstairs for you."

"No, I'll do it myself."

Xiao Zhao still wanted to insist, but saw her easily lift the suitcase up the stone ladder and enter the house.

This Miss Shi Yan looked thin and weak, but unexpectedly she was quite strong.

"Miss Nashi, call me if you have something to do. I left the phone number on the coffee table in the living room."

"OK."

Xiao Zhao was suddenly dazzled by her smile.

This is too beautiful!

The temperament is also amazing, it is not inferior to the eldest lady...

Well, Ms. Shi and Missy seem to have different styles, but no matter what, she actually thinks that Ms. Shi is like a famous lady from an orthodox family.

This is the legendary country girl who saved the old lady?

Nothing like being from the country.
