Chapter 60 - Holiday or hard labour
The next morning.
When Nanqiao woke up, the man beside her was no longer there. She got up and put on her clothes, pulled open the curtain, washed her face and rinsed her mouth, then went downstairs.
Just as he went downstairs, he saw Housekeeper Zhang on the south bridge. The other side was full of joy, "Young Mistress, Young Master Yu wants you to prepare your luggage!"
"What?"
Nanqiao tilted his head and walked into the dining room with a puzzled expression. However, he saw Yu Cen Ran sitting in the middle, flipping through the pages of the newspaper with his bony fingers. "It's not a weekend. Why, why aren't you at the company yet?"
Yu Cen Ran lowered her gaze as she was in a good mood. "I'm giving myself a vacation. I'll give you one as well."
The South Bridge was even more confused.
Yu Cen Ran added, "Too many things have happened recently. I'll take you out for a walk."
South Bridge asked, "Go where?"
Yu Cen Ran placed her middle finger between her lips and smiled mysteriously, "Secret."
A mature man of thirty, however, had his hand covered with cream, and was chewing slowly, with milk by his hand.
Through the bright French windows, one could see the fragmented shadows of the trees. They were flashing like mercury, and the morning light was reflected in the air. Small specks of dust were slowly dancing in the air.
It wasn't until the breakfast was finished that Yu Cen Ran stood up and walked into the room. She picked her way around and threw all the clothes to the side. The shirt she took out was also messed up.
Nanqiao followed him into the room. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was so angry that she almost exploded. Yu Cen obviously didn't like to use people to touch her personal belongings, so everything in the wardrobe was arranged by Nanqiao.
Yu Cen Ran had a habit of throwing clothes everywhere, while South Bridge did not make a sound as she picked up the clothes behind her and put them away in the wardrobe.
"Yu Cen Ran!" The South Bridge could not bear it any longer and glared at the mess in front of it.
Yu Cen Ran was in a good mood as she agreed. She turned her head to the south bridge and smiled, "You should choose some clothes too. I'll take you out to play."
The South Bridge didn't know what was going on, but seeing Yu Cen Ran's mysterious look, Yu Cen Ran was also looking forward to it. The speed at which the things were being packed was extremely fast, and even when the clothes were packed into the luggage, Yu Cen Ran was still staring blankly at the clothes on the bed.
Bored, he went out of his bedroom to get a cup of warm water. He was playing near the pool when he saw South Bridge give a friendly cry and then turn his butt towards South Bridge, continuing to amuse himself.
After pouring some dog food into a small bowl, South Bridge raised its head and looked in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor. The door was closed and there was no sound.
Looks like I'll have to go out for a while, Nan Qiao thought. He called for Housekeeper Zhang and told him to take good care of his three meals a day and to bring him out for a walk at regular intervals.
"This is my duty. Young Madam, please rest assured!" Housekeeper Zhang was all smiles.
Three black lines slid down from Nanqiao's forehead. Why did it sound so strange to her?!
When the car finally stopped at three in the afternoon, South Bridge was in a daze. Yu Cen lightly patted on his cheek. South Bridge opened his eyes and raised his hand to block the light from being caught off guard.
Opening the window, South Bridge saw a sign that read "Yun Xi." He turned his head to look at Yu Cen Ran. The latter's thin lips moved as she faintly said, "We have arrived, at my hometown."
What? Yu Cen Ran's hometown?
Nanqiao suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had just discovered a new continent. He pulled open the door and immediately got off the car. His fair and slender legs walked on the limestone road with light steps.
Yu Cen Ran looked behind her and lit up a cigarette, feeling inexplicably satisfied.
Yu Cen Ran looked at the scenery around him. This was a small village. He grew up here and was then taken away by his father. He was forced to live in a big city and adapt to the deceit and flattery under power.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. When he came back, Yun Xi's change wasn't too great, and seemed to match the memories of his youth. Only, at that time, there were groups after batches of people.
Things change.
It was autumn, and every household was carrying a hoe and sickle out of the house. The man had a towel tied around his neck, the woman was helping to carry tools, and the child was playing by the side, laughing and joking. When he saw Yu Cen Ran's car, he curiously surrounded it.
"What a big four-wheel drive sports car!" The child's hand had just touched the car when his rear foot was pulled back by his mother, who scolded him.
The mother was embarrassed and laughed, "Don't mind a child who doesn't understand anything!"
Yu Cen Ran shrugged and shrugged, indicating that he didn't care. "If you like it, then take a look. It's fine."
"Hur hur, you really are a good person!"
Hearing this, Yu Cen Ran's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time someone praised him as a good person. He then pressed his cigarette against the wall, turned it out, and chased after the South Bridge.
Yun Xi was very backward, most of the places had not yet been developed by the government, there were stone blocks everywhere, every household had a small stream flowing in front of their doors, the South Bridge was awe-inspiring, it was really the same as the name of the village!
South Bridge took in a deep breath of air. There were very few cars here, and the surroundings were surrounded by trees. The air was very fresh.
Yu Cen Ran happened to see this scene. She felt that South Bridge's actions were very cute, so she walked up and caressed South Bridge's hair with her large hand. She then took South Bridge's hand and said, "Let's go."
Relying on the vague memories of her childhood, Yu Cen Ran brought the South Bridge through the streets and alleys. Along the way, she saw many villagers' surprised gazes. Finally, the two of them stopped in front of a simple and crude house.
Yu Cen Ran stood blankly at the door and didn't move. The South Bridge was a little puzzled as it looked at Yu Cen Ran and didn't say anything.
After a while, a voice came from inside the house, followed by a wife in her seventies walking out. When she saw Yu Cen Ran, she stared at her for a while before crying out, "Little Yu!"
When South Bridge saw the tears welling up in the corner of Yu Cen Ran's eyes, he shifted his gaze away. After a while, he covered up his superfluous emotions and said, "Elder."
Old Granny became excited. She grinned, and there were only a few teeth left in her mouth. She patted Yu Cen Ran's back. "Oh, so Little Yu has finally come back to see Old Grandma. Why didn't you inform her beforehand?"
Ah'ma seemed to have thought of something as she looked around cautiously and asked, "Your father isn't back yet is he? That's good. Ah'ma really doesn't like your Abba. He's too philistine!"
Hearing this sharp evaluation, Nanqiao burst out in laughter. Grandma turned her head to look at Nanqiao, who was standing behind Yu Cen Ran. She was stunned for a moment. "This is …"
"My wife, South Bridge."
"Oh, Little Yu's wife …" The old woman seemed to have come to a realization as she nodded.
South Bridge quickly stretched out her hand, wanting to greet her. But who knew that the other party would not even look at South Bridge? She could only awkwardly withdraw her hand.
Why did she feel like Grandma didn't like her?
The three of them entered the house. Grandma wiped the bench clean and let Yu Cen Ran sit down, but she didn't pay much attention to the South Bridge.
The grandma smiled brightly. "Little Yu, you've come at the right time. I've grown quite a few dishes in my yard and am currently in the middle of harvesting. Do you want to try grandma's cooking?"
Yu Cen Ran replied, "Alright, it's been a long time since I last ate food cooked by my grandma. I really do miss it."
When Yu Cen Ran and his grandma talked, South Bridge ignored them. Embarrassed and bored, he looked around and suddenly spotted a three or four year old child hiding under his grandma's stool. He looked mischievous and mischievous.
The child was a neighbor's grandson who liked to play mischievous and mischievous. At this moment, he reached out his hand to push the grandma's chair. The grandma happened to stand up to grab a teacup. However, she did not see him and was about to sit down …
Feeling the danger, the South Bridge raised its voice and shouted. At that moment, the South Bridge's body quickly rushed forward and stopped the grandma from sitting down!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
At this critical moment, Yu Cen Ran also extended her hand to help receive the medicine. When everyone calmed down, the grandma looked back at the child who was giggling on the ground and cursed for a while before calming down.
Just as South Bridge was about to turn around, his arm was pulled back by his grandma. "Come, come with me to the backyard to pick up vegetables."
"Ah!" He pointed at his own nose. "Is it me?"
The old granny unhappily retorted, "You're Little Yu's wife. Who else could you be if not you?"
Pushing open the door to the backyard, one could see that there were no weeds in the yard. There were radishes, cabbage, and some of the more common fruits and vegetables that his grandma had taken care of with great care.
The old woman told Nanqiao to pick some mushrooms, green onions, and radishes, then turned around and walked away. Nanqiao felt that this was unfair, so he took up a rubber band and tied his hair into a simple ponytail.
The bamboo window was opened to reveal an old woman standing by the side. She looked at the South Bridge, which was hard at work under the evening sky. A smile appeared on her face as she pushed Yu Cen Ran's arm.
The corner of Yu Cen Ran's mouth raised into a faint smile.
Walking out of the courtyard, South Bridge took a look at the sky. It was already dark, and the lanterns in front of every household were swaying in the wind.
Nanqiao was dragging the things in his hands, huffing and puffing as he walked into the house. His body was covered in a thin layer of sweat, making it even colder after being blown by the wind. At this moment, Nanqiao heard someone call out.
Yu Cen Ran's tall body leaned against the doorframe as she looked at the sorry state of the South Bridge. She couldn't help but gloat.
Nanqiao worked himself to death, and when he saw Yu Cen Ran, he immediately kicked her. Gritting his teeth, he lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you say it was a holiday? I think you brought me here to work here!"
Yu Cen Ran's smile didn't waver as she stretched out her hand to cover South Bridge's mouth. South Bridge's figure flashed as he looked over with a slanted eye, "You're still not going to say it, right?"
Not far behind Yu Cen Ran, there were three bowls of dumplings on the table. They were steaming white and looked like they had just been prepared. The aroma of food wafted in the air.
"It's time to eat." The grandma's tone was light. South Bridge was not sure if she had heard it or not.
She glanced at the food on the table. South Bridge felt wronged again. What? Not eating would make her pull the vegetables again!
