Chapter 282 "So you're hiding here?"
Chapter 282 "So you're hiding here?"
She made the point, but Tong Xin responded seriously:
"You're so difficult to get along with, so no one should chase you, right?"
Xia Qian hated this kind of ungentlemanly man the most. She rolled her eyes at him:
"There are so many people chasing me that they can circle the earth from here."
She was a little exaggerated and over the top.
Tong Xin knew that she loved to show off, so she didn't agree with her:
"So you're hiding here?"
He is too calculating, doesn't know how to give in to women, and is stingy:
"Have you finished reading? Then leave."
Is she really ungrateful and chasing people away without even giving them a sip of water?
He wants to see what a person without conscience looks like?
Tong Xin carefully observed her expression, which was cold and indifferent with a hint of alienation:
"I'm a little curious, how could you be so ungrateful?"
Is she ungrateful or is he incapable of chatting?
Rather than talking nonsense, it is better to end this disharmonious conversation early.
"You provoked me first, okay?"
"I saved you, more than once."
She seemed to have lost some memory. If it weren't for him, she would have been eaten by a wild boar long ago. Not only did she not know how to repay the kindness, but she also targeted him.
This icy beauty in front of me makes people feel a little uncomfortable. It is not difficult to imagine why she is here alone. I guess no one can stand her personality.
"I will definitely not forget your kindness, but that doesn't mean you can look down on me."
He is too self-righteous. Does he want her to bow down to him?
What kind of society is this now? Don’t engage in moral kidnapping.
"When did I look down on you?"
He didn't understand when her prejudice against him began, and in fact he didn't look down on her.
He just thought she was... showing off.
"You've had this attitude from the beginning. You look like you deserve a beating."
What is she saying?
Deserve a beating?
This was the first time Tong Xin heard someone comment on him like this. Wasn’t he simply charming or handsome?
He did not agree with her assessment:
"You look the same."
Tong Xin turned around and left, and this time they parted on bad terms.
Xia Qian was so angry that her scalp was tingling, but she didn't vent her anger. It is a must for adults to maintain emotional stability.
Xia Qian took a few deep breaths, but it didn't seem to help. She looked in the direction he had just left.
"Disgusting guy."
Of course, she was not the only one who felt unhappy. Tongxin was also very angry.
He swore that he would never help her again, and it would be best if he never met her again.
When he got home, the old lady found that his backpack was empty. He was so confident before he left, so why did he look so bad when he came back?
"What's wrong? Didn't find any?"
Looking at his outfit, it doesn't look like he hasn't been up the mountain, with mud on his feet and rain on his body.
“Oh, I didn’t find any.”
Tongxin is rarely unhappy. This is the first time that his grandmother has seen him look worried.
He took off his raincoat and put it at the door, then started to change into his rubber boots and washed his face in a basin of water.
Grandma didn't want to interfere, but she asked anyway:
"Nothing happened, right?"
Tong Xin froze for a moment:
"No."
If he doesn't tell, then she won't ask.
Young people have their own things to do. She was young once and has also come through that time.
She returned to the house on crutches. Tongxin looked at her grandmother's back and wondered why she had to hide it.
It's not like he was hiding it. In fact, he felt that there was no need for him to say it.
how to say?
Don't want to be mentioned.
There is really no need to mention bad people, bad things, and bad past. They are not important and are just passing by.
He comforted himself because he was really a little angry at that time.
He didn't know why he was angry, as if his kindness was not rewarded, feeling like the farmer and the snake.
During dinner, neither the grandfather nor the grandson spoke. Tong Xin deliberately found a topic because he didn't want to hide anything.
In this big mountain, his only support is his grandmother, and he treats her as his own relative and family.
"Grandma, I met someone on the mountain today."
Grandma raised her eyebrows calmly:
"who?"
Thinking back to that woman, he didn't know how to describe it:
"I don't know. She lives at the front of the town."
The front?
She has never left this town, she knows most of the people there, she knows almost everything that happens here, and she has witnessed all their stories.
"how old?"
"About twenty years old, I don't know exactly."
There are almost no people in their 20s here. They have all gone to big cities to work hard. Who would be willing to come back?
"How did you meet?"
"She sprained her ankle on the mountain, and I carried her down."
No wonder he didn’t bring back any bamboo shoots, but why was he not happy when he came back after doing a good deed?
"Did you send her home?"
"Well, she's the only one in her family."
She was the only one at home, about twenty years old, and was at the front.
Grandma thought about it for a while and seemed to know:
"The daughter of the third elder Xia family, right?"
Xia Lao San?
Tong Xin didn't know what grandma was talking about:
"There were no other people in her home, and there were no photos of other people in her home."
Xia Laosan is a tea grower. His wife is a child bride who was raised in his home when she was very young. No one seems to know her last name, so everyone calls her Laosan's wife.
Xia Laosan is not the third child in the family. He is the only child in the family and has been the only son in three generations.
Then why is he called Lao San? Only the people in the town call him that.
Xia Laosan's family is not rich, but not too poor either. The family situations here are similar, so there is no distinction between high and low.
Xia Laosan's father always wanted a boy, but he was unable to fulfill his father's last wish.
After being married for many years, his wife still hadn’t gotten pregnant. At first he thought it was his wife’s problem, but later he realized it was his own problem.
After that, he underwent treatment for a period of time and tried a lot of Chinese herbal remedies, but to no avail.
In desperation, a distant relative sent him a baby girl. In fact, he had always wanted a son, but this child looked so pitiful.
Her mother died right after giving birth to her, and her father threw her out because he thought she was a disaster.
If a kind-hearted person hadn't picked her up, she would have been eaten by the wolf.
Xia Qian is blessed. Even though Xia Lao San cannot have children, his love for her has not diminished at all.
Both husband and wife are good people, honest and decent people.
They raised Xia Qian to adulthood, and in their hearts she was their own child.
Xia Qian was very competitive. She had excellent grades since childhood and was admitted to her ideal university.
The couple grew tea and sent her out of the mountains step by step.
There is no way out, no ideals or ambitions in the mountains.
They did not selfishly keep her by their side to fulfill their filial piety, but hoped that she would fly higher and farther.
Later, Xia Laosan died of illness, and the following year his wife also died.
At that time, Xia Qian was just a junior in college, and changes in her family made her hit rock bottom.
