MTL - The Female Supporting Role is Super Strong But Took the Love Brain Script-Chapter 145
The lights in the neighbors’ houses are all turned off. There are some elderly people and children living in this alley. Their work and rest times are not the same as those in the city. Most of them work at sunrise and end at sunset.
One of Shen Yiling's keys was at Grandma Wang's house, and the other was carried with her, so she didn't disturb others, and after taking out the keys from her bag, she led Rong Qi into the door.
After changing the slippers, Shen Yiling bent down and rummaged in the narrow shoe cabinet, and found a pair of large-size slippers that were washed white and wrinkled. It could be vaguely seen that the original color of these slippers was blue.
"There are no new slippers at home, these are the ones my grandfather wore before." She put the slippers at Rong Qi's feet, "I wash them every year, don't you mind?"
In the past, very few people would come in the family, even grandma Wang and the others would come in barefoot or directly. Shen Yiling avoided taking out the slippers that grandma and grandma used to wear.
But when she got to Rongxi, she didn't think so much, and the floor was cold.
Of course Rong Qi wouldn't mind, he took off his shoes and put on the old pair of slippers, and put his sneakers neatly next to Shen Yiling's shoes.
With people coming, the old house finally became a little more popular.
Shen Yiling pulled the suitcase under the table in the living room and put it away, and lifted the dustproof cloth on the sofa before heading to the kitchen.
Seeing that Rong Xi wanted to follow, she turned around and pushed him back, "You go and sit, and I'll boil some water."
Rong Xi stopped, "Can I visit?"
Shen Yiling glanced at him strangely, and said indifferently, "As you wish."
When the words fell, she glanced at the room and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The old house is only about 70 square meters. Outside the living room is a small balcony, next to the public toilet and two parallel rooms. The structure of the entire house can be seen at a glance, and I don’t know what flowers Rong Qi can visit.
She didn't care too much, took the kettle from the dining table and went into the kitchen to clean it. The kitchen sink is facing away from the living room, so she didn't see the tenderness in Rong Qi's eyes when he looked at the awards and photos on the living room wall.
Shen Yiling's grandparents have always regarded her as the pride of the old Shen family. From childhood to adulthood, the awards were neatly posted on the wall, and even the good baby award from the kindergarten was posted in a conspicuous corner.
After they passed away, Shen Yiling kept every certificate of award, and even posted the two most important graduation photos on the wall.
Rong Qi looked up at the wall, which was written with a person's name, and one wall briefly outlined her childhood. She was outstanding from childhood to adulthood.
He saw the graduation photos of Shen Yiling from elementary and junior high schools. At that time, she was still very immature, wearing a blue and white school uniform with a high ponytail. It's just that the apricot eyes looking at the camera always have a maturity that is not found in their peers.
Looking at it, Rong Xi couldn't help but stretch out his hand towards the photo.
Just when her fingertips were about to touch that beautiful face, Shen Yiling came out of the kitchen.
The sound of footsteps brought back Rong Xi's thoughts, and he quickly retracted his hand.
"I thought you were going to visit something." Shen Yiling put the kettle on the base and pressed the switch, and then looked at Rong Xi with a little more smile in her eyes: "This is a certificate from a long time ago, my grandparents It's very ceremonial. I'm afraid they will be worried, and later, regardless of the big prize or the small prize, I will stick it on the wall. At that time, I wanted to stick it all over the wall. "
Her voice was light and calm, but Rong Xi could hear a trace of sadness and longing.
He couldn't help but soften his gaze on her, "They must be very happy for you."
Shen Yiling smiled and seemed unwilling to say more on these matters.
"Are you tired, the bath water needs to be boiled for a while. You sit for a while, and I can take a bath and rest when I make the bed in the bedroom." She went around the sofa and found two clean sets from a low cabinet. The bed sheet and quilt cover, and when she smelled the faint floral fragrance of the quilt cover, there was a real smile on her face.
"You sleep in my room these two days."
"What about you?" Rong Xi raised his legs and followed behind her.
Shen Yiling opened the door of the room near the living room, "I live in grandma's room." After she finished speaking, she walked in, and when she looked back, she saw Rong Qi standing outside politely, and she bent her lips: "Do you want to come in?"
Almost at the same time, Rong Xi nodded, and he walked in quickly, as if he was waiting for her words.
This room is much smaller than the living room, but because there is only one bed and a dresser beside the bed, it looks a lot empty. There are two portraits hanging above the dresser. The people in the photo frames are very kind, and there is a slight smile on the corner of their mouths.
Rong Xi's heart moved slightly, and he tidied up his clothes unconsciously, for fear that his inappropriateness would make the two old people unhappy. You must know that he never believed in ghosts and gods before.
Shen Yiling didn't pay much attention to what he was doing. After she found out the vacuum cleaner from the panel and sucked all the dust off the bed, she moved the quilt on the chair to the bed and spread it out quickly.
Rong Qi wanted to help, but when Shen Yiling's sheets and quilt covers were all set, he reluctantly tucked a pillow into the pillow cover, and one corner was still piled up.
Seeing that he wanted to put his hand in to adjust it, Shen Yiling brought the pillow over with some humor, grabbed the two corners and threw it on the bed a few times, and the pillow was flat.
Rong Qi learned well, and when he got to the other room, he grabbed and threw two pillows.
After the bath water was boiled, Shen Yiling went to take a bath first. She was afraid that Rong Qi would not use an old-fashioned shower, so she adjusted the water temperature for him first.
When he went in to take a shower, she took out the sweeper and cleaned the room, living room and balcony.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening by the time I went to bed.
The sound insulation of the old house is not very good. Occasionally, I can hear the sound of a car passing by in another alley, accompanied by a few subtle insects.
Shen Yiling thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but who knew that she would fall asleep soon after lying down, and her breathing gradually eased.
Compared to the soundly sleeping homeowner, the light-sleeping Rong Xi didn't fall asleep for a long time. His hearing was very good, and when he heard the door squeak across the floor for the first time, he finally sat up from the bed, put on a coat and walked out.
The street lights outside were still on, Rong Qi stood on the short corridor outside the room, raised his hand to look at his watch in the faint light, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
Two steps forward, he found the source of the sound he had just heard. Grandpa and grandma's room was unoccupied for too long, and the lock on the wooden door was rusted. In addition, Shen Yiling opened a window in the living room for ventilation, and the door was opened and closed by the wind.
When he came out to see, the door just opened a crack that could squeeze a person.
It was thanks to Shen Yiling that she slept soundly, otherwise she would be killed by noise.
The floor of the old house has not been repaired for many years, and there is a sound every step of the way. Rong Xi slowed down his steps and just reached out to pull the door handle, but he saw Shen Yiling in the room sleeping on her side, because she was still wearing thick pajamas and the quilt on her body. She ripped off half of it, revealing a small and clean foot.
Rong Xi's movements stopped, and he stood at the door for half a minute before he carefully opened the door as if he had made up his mind.
It's not dark inside, this room is facing the alley, and the thin curtains can't block many street lights.
When he got closer, he realized that because of her sleeping position, Shen Yiling not only lifted the quilt, but also lifted a corner of her pajamas, revealing a slender waist that was not full of grip.
Rong Xi was startled, and he didn't know where to put his eyes. He quickly turned his head away, and quickly pulled the quilt over Shen Yiling's body. In order to prevent her from kicking the quilt from behind, he also raised her hand on the quilt.
After doing this, he took another piece of waste paper from the dresser, folded it in half several times, and stuffed it under the door.
Probably a little guilty, he never looked up at the pictures on the wall.
Back in the room, Rong Qi tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep, but before falling asleep, he inadvertently remembered the slender waist he had accidentally seen just now...
The next morning, Shen Yiling and Rong Xi were woken up by a surprised voice. They didn't have to think about it to know that it was Grandma Wang next door who found her back.
Shen Yiling yawned and got off the bed. When she opened the door and saw the thick paper stuffed under the door, surprise flashed in her eyes.
Before she thought about it, a chubby figure rushed over and hugged her.
There was still a bit of cold air on the person coming, and Shen Yiling didn't care, she just let her hold it.
"Why didn't you say a word when you came back? I was thinking that the weather is good today and I'll dry the quilt for you. When I opened the door, I saw a lot of things in the room." Grandma Wang patted Shen Yiling's back, a little bit in her voice. Choking: "I'm thin, I'm thin. Are your parents good to you?"
Shen Yiling smiled helplessly: "I'm not thin, and I'm still several kilos heavier."
The latter question has been asked by Grandma Wang many times. After she answered it twice and it was good, she didn't want to say any more. Afraid that Grandma Wang would ask more questions, she also changed the subject to explain her itinerary: "I only got off at eight o'clock last night, and I got home very late."
"Oh, yes, you have to fly back and transfer to the bus." Grandma Wang's attention really shifted instantly, she let go of Shen Yiling, and hurriedly rubbed her hands together and said, "Then you didn't eat well last night? Let’s cook and eat Sanxian wontons and cabbage pork buns, you used to like these the most.”
Shen Yiling showed a nostalgic expression, smiled and nodded her head twice: "Okay, thank you Grandma Wang."
"What kind of words are you talking about, girl?" Grandma Wang waved her hand and urged, "Go wash your face quickly, and you can eat it right away."
Shen Yiling responded, "Grandma, cook more."
Grandma Wang laughed twice, the chubby figure walking out paused, and turned back somewhat narcissistically: "Did you miss my craft after walking for too long? Don't worry, I'll make sure you're full!"
As soon as the voice fell, the door inside was opened, and a tall, thin boy walked out.
He said good morning to Shen Yiling, his voice still sullen and hoarse when he first woke up.
"…"
Grandma Wang's high and loud voice stopped abruptly, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe that a boy walked out of Shen Yiling's room! They actually brought the boy home? !
As soon as she saw this jaw-dropping expression, Shen Yiling knew that Grandma Wang had misunderstood.
She gave way to the side and explained, "Grandma, this is my cousin Rong Qi, this time he went to Beijing with me." Then she turned around and introduced to Rong Xi: "This is my next door neighbor Wang Qi. Grandma, I can say that I grew up eating her family's food."
Hearing that, Rong Xi's expression became solemn, and he followed Shen Yiling and called Grandma Wang.
It was the first time that Grandma Wang had seen such a good-looking and polite boy. She was flattered, and repeatedly praised the two of them as good children, and said that she would cook more dishes to entertain Rong Qi.
Shen Yiling said that it's good to eat something simple, but who knew she wouldn't listen at all, and blamed her for being rude to her cousin.
Helpless, Shen Yiling could only follow her.
After washing up, Shen Yiling took Rong Xi to the next door. The two of them had a beautiful meal, and their stomachs were round after eating.
Grandma Wang's wonton skins were thin and stuffed, and it was full of gravy when you took a bite. The wonton soup also contained seaweed and small shrimp, which were too fresh.
Xiaobao's parents have already returned to the city to work hard. Xiaobao has been sad these days, and he was only happy when he saw Shen Yiling coming.
"This brother, isn't he the one who was very good at playing games last time?"
Shen Yiling: "...it's him."
Xiaobao has a good memory, especially since the classmates in the class laughed at him after the last time he reversed his grades, so that he deeply remembered that Shen Yiling had a very bad cousin.
After seeing him this time, he knew just by the sound that this was the culprit that caused him to lose points.
Shen Yiling didn't expect that Xiaobao still remembered that incident, and she began to wonder whether she should say something nice to Rong Xi.
Who knows, without waiting for her to say anything, Xiaobao has been very enthusiastically attached to Rong Xi's side.
Shen Yiling was a little stunned. Seeing that Grandma Wang looked at her grandson with a funny expression, she went over and asked. Only then did she know the real purpose of Xiaobao's attitude change.
It turned out to be the few days of the Chinese New Year. Xiaobao's classmate Xiaoxin's cousin came to pay New Year's greetings. His cousin is from the city and is currently studying in high school. Compared with the boys in Wanshui Town, Xiao Xin's cousin is tall, handsome and fashionable. When Xiao Xin was walking around town with his cousin, he happened to meet several girls in the class. Classmates, so it was passed from person to person. Many people in the school knew that Xiao Xin had a handsome cousin, and many people went to Xiao Xin to inquire about his cousin.
Xiaobao was envious of this.
After listening to Grandma Wang's explanation, Shen Yiling still felt a little strange. Does Xiao Xin have a cousin and what does Xiao Bao have to do? Does Xiaobao also need a tall and handsome cousin?
Just thinking about it, when she turned around, she heard Xiaobao leaning into Rong Qi's ear and whispering, "Brother Rong, I'll take you to the lotus pond in the afternoon, my classmates like to play there."
Rong Xi didn't know why, but he agreed very well.
Seeing the victorious look on Xiaobao's face, Shen Yiling was dumbfounded.
She really doesn't understand the desire to win or lose among elementary school students. It seems that she is developing in some strange direction?
After breakfast, Shen Yiling was going to visit Grandpa Sun's house in front, and Rong Qi was going with her.
Xiaobao was very worried. When Rong Qi went out, he followed closely behind him to tell him not to forget the agreement in the afternoon. Rong Xi patiently agreed to him, and he even tickled him with a good temper.
Grandpa Sun's house is in front of the alley, and there is a very low fence outside his house.
As soon as I walked in, I could see a lot of plastic bottles and some cardboard wetted by rain in the corner.
When he got older, Grandpa Sun's health was not very good, and he couldn't do any heavy work. In the past few years, he could only make a living by picking up garbage. However, after arriving at Shen's house, Shen Yiling sent him some money, which was enough for him to live and breathe.
The door of Grandpa Sun's house was open, Shen Yiling called twice but got no response.
She asked Rong Qi to wait outside, while she kicked the bottles rolling on the ground against the wall and walked into the house with her legs raised. The steps outside the house are very high, Shen Yiling looked down several times, and had a plan in her heart.
Although Grandpa Sun picks up rubbish, he is a person who loves cleanliness. There are no things picked up in the house, and the ground is also swept clean. It's just that the construction and design of the house were more than 30 years ago, so the light inside was very dark, and the poor ventilation caused the room to be very humid, mold spots began to appear on the walls, and the smell inside the house was not very good.
Shen Yiling frowned.
She turned on the light and walked around the room. Just as she was about to go to the kitchen, there was a sound outside the house, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. She hurried out to look and saw Rong Qi helping her. A little old man on a tricycle picks up things.
The little old man staggered and jumped off the tricycle, thanking him and asking who Rong Xi was.
Rong Xi was still carrying a large bag of cardboard that fell from the tricycle, and politely replied: "I'm Yiling's cousin, and I'm coming back with her for New Year's greetings."
This little old man is Grandpa Sun. In winter, he is wrapped in a thick green military coat that is not very warm. He has worn this coat for several years. It feels like a waste.
He had a hunched back, which he had toiled at when he was young. There was only a pair of old leather shoes with torn leather on his feet, and the soles were mended again and again by himself.
Who can imagine that such an old man was born in a wealthy family in the last century.
Hearing Shen Yiling's name, Grandpa Sun glanced at the opposite house in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Girl Shen is back? When did it happen?"
Just as Rong Qi was about to answer, Shen Yiling quickly ran out from the inside. She pointed to the corner of the yard and signaled Rong Xi to put the things in his hands there. When she looked at Grandpa Sun again, her eyes became disapproving.
"Why did you go to collect the cardboard again? Your feet hurt when you ride the tricycle. I asked Grandma Wang to give you the money. Has it been used up?"
As soon as Shen Yiling came out, Grandpa Sun's wrinkled face filled with a smile, he quickly walked over and asked, "When did you come, have you eaten yet?"
Shen Yiling didn't reply, just looked at him blankly.
Grandpa Sun wiped and wiped his hands on the clothes, and in desperation did he answer her question with a smirk: "I haven't run out, I'll ask your grandma Wang to save it for me. I still have money and I have the strength to work. Where do I need your money? I'll save all that money for you to use when you go to college."
Shen Yiling had heard this many times.
When Grandpa Sun's adopted son was in college, he always said that the money from picking up garbage should be saved, the government subsidies for poor families should be kept, even the hundreds of dollars that were paid for accidentally being scratched by someone else's battery car. All save.
He doesn't have much money on his own, and he has to pay his adopted son a fixed monthly living allowance.
After the adopted son worked, he finally didn't need money, and he didn't stop. Whenever he had spare money, he would buy books for Shen Yiling, and also said that she was an older child and wanted to buy her some new clothes.
It was obvious that they had nothing to do with each other. He himself hadn't worn new clothes for several years, and he had to be so nice to her.
Why is she not worried at all that she is a white-eyed wolf like her adopted son.
Shen Yiling's nose was a little sour, she lowered her head, and her voice was a little dry: "The Shen family gives you more pocket money than I give you, you don't need to save it for me, and don't pick up the trash anymore, you can spend as much money as you want. I don't have any cash on me now, I'll go to the bank to get it for you."
As she said that, she was about to go out of the yard. Grandpa Sun was helpless because of her unique temperament.
"Cousin Yiling, please help me bring her back. This girl's character is exactly the same as her grandfather, she's too stubborn!"
Rong Xi responded and hurriedly walked in the direction where Shen Yiling left.
Grandpa Sun looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief. When he was relieved but not completely relieved, he saw the young man walking side by side with Shen Yiling, and he had no intention of pulling people back at all.
Grandpa Sun: "…"
What's the matter with this guy? !
