Chapter 380 So you like younger people? Pastoral life and a cat together?
Xilin's small yard in Dali is not far from Erhai Lake. It is probably not far from Yunxi Village, where Gu Huaian and the others recorded "Crystal Love Season" and "Go to Where the Wind Is". Gu Huaian even saw Yunxi Village when he went there. He had played basketball many times on the basketball court in Xicun...
It is worth mentioning that on the way there, they passed by a rice field, which was quite large and beautiful.
It happened to be afternoon at that time, and the sun hadn't set yet. The blazing sunlight was carrying strong ultraviolet rays and was surrounding Xilin, who couldn't help but put on a pair of purple sunglasses.
My sister has a very classy face. She wore full makeup today because she was participating in an event. Her dress is an irregular black and white spliced long dress. She looks very well proportioned and has a beautiful figure.
The car was not driving very fast. Xilin lowered the window and let the wind blow in. She lifted up her long black hair. The wind carried her body and hair fragrance, and filled the whole car with fragrance. .
Even though it's winter, it's not as cold here in Yunnan as in Beijing. The sun hasn't set yet, even if the car windows are open, they won't be very cold.
It was dark in the car, but from Gu Huaian's co-pilot's perspective, Xilin seemed to be glowing, and she felt that her sister was really...
A and sassy!
So powerful!
But if I have to say that I don’t think so...
In fact, Gu Huaian really didn't dare to think about it.
Although Gu Huaian knew very well that as long as he wanted, Sister Xilin would be willing to give him everything he wanted anytime, anywhere...
But that's not very realistic.
His relationship with Pei Jingshu is quite stable now, and his life is pretty good. He actually doesn't want to experience the big storm last year again, because it's not good for anyone.
Shang Zhuoyan has left, and Gu Huaian doesn't want Xilin to leave too. It's nice to have dinner with her sister occasionally.
Then some people will wonder, if you are not interested in Xilin, why are you coming to the house with her?
nonsense……
Xilin has invited you many times. It's just like when you go to a place and a local friend invites you to stay at his house for a few days. You have been invited many times and it's hard to refuse the hospitality. Can you not go and stay for a while?
There is nothing wrong with either emotion or reason.
Gu Huaian knew this, and Xilin also knew it. They both knew it tacitly, so no matter whether they were chatting or anything, there was nothing excessive between them.
Even if he is photographed, it doesn’t matter. Who in the industry doesn’t know that Xilin regards Gu Huaian as a younger brother, and who doesn’t know that the two of them have a good relationship...
Sometimes Gu Huaian is glad that there is an age difference between him and Xilin. It would actually be good if he could have this kind of relationship with Shang Zhuoyan.
The small courtyard that Xilin bought is not in the village, but in a relatively hidden and private place...
There is no way. If Xilin is to choose, Xilin will definitely be willing to live in the village, but it is a pity that she is a public figure, a star, and a movie queen...
So if she lives in a very public village, if she is exposed and spreads, people will probably squat on her often.
There are a lot of tourists here. If someone comes specifically to check in where she lives, she will be very distressed...
Even though she was not in the village, there were still some neighbors nearby. After walking around a group of houses with white walls and black tiles, Xilin parked the car in an open space, got out of the car, picked up her things and walked inside with Gu Huaian.
"...It feels like we are going to record a show."
On the way, Gu Huaian said with a wry smile.
Xilin was amused. Yes, a movie queen, a king, and two first-line stars were each walking on the country road carrying their own luggage. As long as there was a camera teacher next to them and they had microphones attached to them, it would be like There is no difference when recording a show.
"Let me do it……"
Gu Huaian was quite a gentleman. He basically carried two large suitcases and a bag by himself, while Xilin only carried her own bag and some fruits bought on the road.
The home has a wooden door with last year's Spring Festival couplets stuck on it that they didn't have time to take off. It's worth mentioning that the courtyard door was open when they arrived. At that time, Gu Huaian looked at Xilin strangely and thought, is there anyone at home?
Is there a thief?
Or are there other guests?
Or maybe Xilin doesn’t live in the house herself?
Or is there her family in it?
Gu Huaian remembered that Xilin once said that she would occasionally bring her family to stay...
At that time, Gu Huaian was still a little nervous. After entering the door, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing local ethnic costumes playing with something in the flower field in the yard...
The woman's appearance is not bad, her facial features are fairly regular, her skin is still fair even under such strong ultraviolet radiation in Yunnan, her temples are a little white, but she looks in good spirits, her eyes are quite bright, and her movements are quite nimble. , doesn’t look like a caregiver who works regularly.
"Aunt Hua..."
After Xilin entered, she called the woman. The woman was quite surprised to see Xilin. She put down the shower and said enthusiastically:
"Hey, you're back..."
"You, you've been gone for months. It's a pity that no one has taken care of these flowers. Look at that one, it's almost dried to death..."
Xilin helplessly flipped her hair and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, I need to trouble you more. Come and see me when you have nothing to do."
Aunt Hua talked a lot and complained to Xilin about how difficult it was to take care of the flowers and green vegetables over there. Gu Huaian was a little surprised when she heard that...
Although this aunt doesn’t look like a carer she paid for, she doesn’t look like one of Xilin’s own family members, right?
After a while, Xilin also answered the puzzle for Gu Huaian, telling him that Aunt Hua was not a paid caregiver, but a nearby neighbor who lived here after retirement.
Xilin originally wanted to spend money to find a caregiver. She was not familiar with the area at that time, so she just wanted to ask Aunt Hua if she could help find one. Aunt Hua heard that she still needed such a small amount of work. Find someone to take care of you. I can clean it for you if you have nothing to do...
Anyway, retired Aunt Hua has nothing to do in her daily life. Xilin's place doesn't need to be cleaned frequently. When she comes to live, she will find housekeeping staff, but the flowers and plants are difficult to take care of.
Aunt Hua is quite enthusiastic. She doesn’t want Xilin’s money, so she just comes to exercise as if it’s nothing. There are many rare varieties of flowers in Xilin’s yard, and she likes them quite a lot…
Xilin always feels bad about not giving money, so every time she comes back, she will bring some gifts, such as clothes, perfume, or coffee beans brought back from abroad. She will also give money to buy food and meat when she lives here. My aunt's family will send some.
Calculating the back and forth, Aunt Hua is not at a loss.
The relationship between the neighbors is quite harmonious.
"That's it..."
After hearing this, Gu Huaian couldn't help but feel enlightened. Thinking back, it was not surprising. Sister Xilin was very popular both inside and outside the industry, and her relationship with her neighbors was definitely not bad.
"Who is this……"
At this time, Aunt Hua patted the dirt on her hands and pointed at Gu Huaian and asked Xilin.
"Ah, he is..."
When Xilin was about to introduce Gu Huaian as her friend, Aunt Hua said first with a surprised look on her face:
"Is he your boyfriend? This is your first time bringing a boy back..."
Aunt Hua knows Xilin, but not Gu Huaian. There are very few people of this age who are star-chasers. Many older people only have daily necessities in life. How can they spend so much time caring about celebrities and artists?
Even though Aunt Hua was familiar with Gu Huaian because she had watched the Spring Festival Gala this year, she couldn't name him. She just knew that he might also be a star...
This is quite normal. Xilin is a celebrity. Isn't it normal to find a celebrity boyfriend?
"Ah no...it's not..."
Next to me was Xilin, her pretty face full of exotic charm was somewhat feverish. She waved her hands to explain, but she looked like she was hiding it...
"Haha...I understand, I understand..."
Aunt Hua obviously misunderstood, waving her hands and saying:
"You are celebrities, so your relationship cannot be exposed to ordinary people, otherwise it will be rumored, right?"
"No, Aunt Hua, listen to me..."
Xilin still wanted to argue, but Aunt Hua didn't listen at all. She waved her hand and looked at Gu Huaian carefully...
Well, the young man is really handsome, and he doesn't look like a pretty boy. His skin is not that white and he has a bit of a manly look. Xilin does have good taste.
that is……
Are you a bit young?
"cough……"
Aunt Hua, who realized this, couldn't help coughing, looked at Xilin with strange eyes, and said:
"No wonder you were dissatisfied with some of the people I wanted to introduce to you some time ago. It turns out that I like younger people..."
These older people like to worry about things. Aunt Hua knows that Xilin is a big star, but she also knows that she is of age to be married. There were some pretty good young talents in her previous workplace, and she likes to talk to Xilin even if she has nothing to do. Let’s talk to Lin.
But every time when similar topics were discussed, Xilin always chose to avoid them, which made her think that the big star Xilin she was looking for would not like them...
Oh, we made a fuss together for a long time, she likes this kind of young people...
Also, regardless of men or women, they all like young and energetic people.
"Ah...ah?"
This made Xilin blush.
"puff……"
Gu Huaian next to him almost laughed.
"……why are you laughing!"
Xilin turned back and glared at him, and wanted to slap him, but Gu Huaian ducked out of the way.
The two of them looked very much like each other, and Aunt Hua waved her hands in a very sensible way:
"Okay, I don't want to be a light bulb anymore. I'm still stewing beef at home. I'll bring you some later. You can play first."
As she said this, she clapped her hands and was about to go back.
"Aunt Hua..."
"we are not……"
Xilin still wanted to explain, but unfortunately Aunt Hua didn't listen at all. As for Gu Huaian, the old man just laughed there. Xilin blushed and felt helpless when she saw this, and finally glared at Gu Huaian angrily and shouted to him to get something. Come in.
The area of Xilin's small courtyard is really quite large. It is estimated to be four to five hundred square meters, which is enough to build a small villa in an ordinary place.
She was a bit of a prodigal. The actual area she used was not very large. She only built three bedrooms and two living rooms. She didn't even build a second floor. There were only some balconies for drying clothes and deck chairs for sunbathing on the second floor. so.
Living in this area is really simple!
Having said that, the rest of the place is very beautiful. For example, her huge yard is full of flowers and plants of various colors. There is also a vegetable field to the west where some radishes, cabbage, onions, garlic and the like are grown.
She was growing well, and many of them were bearing fruit. Xilin changed into a gray dress for home wear, and came downstairs to look at her flowers...
It is worth mentioning that there is a row of succulents placed by the window of the room. Gu Huaian has no research on flower cultivation, but he has heard from friends that succulents are very demanding on the environment. The climate here in Yunnan is just right for them to grow.
"What are you looking at?"
Xilin looked around at the things in her yard, and when she turned to look at Gu Huaian, she found that Gu Huaian was standing under the pomegranate tree in the middle of the yard, watching.
"Look at this pomegranate tree..."
Gu Huaian told Xilin that his grandma's house used to have a pomegranate tree, and pomegranates grew every year, which was always sweet, but then grandma got old and was picked up by his uncle, so he didn't live in his hometown often...
"The pomegranate tree must still be there, right?" Xilin asked doubtfully. Why did she feel that there was some nostalgia in Gu Huaian's eyes?
"Here I am..."
Gu Huaian rolled his eyes and complained that his uncle was not busy at work. When he had nothing to do, he used his hometown as a "test base". He clearly didn't know how to prune trees, but he insisted on getting scissors to prune trees like other garden workers, and ended up cutting the pomegranate tree. It turned out to be bald when pruned, and it was pruned to death the next year, and no more pomegranates grew.
A pomegranate tree had been pruned to death. Over the years, whenever Gu Huaian and his family thought about this, they wanted to scold his uncle, but his uncle didn't dare to refute, because the pomegranate tree was not the only thing he "pruned" to death.
"Puch..."
Xilin smiled after hearing this, thinking that no wonder Gu Huaian had some nostalgia in his eyes.
"I remember there seemed to be pomegranates here..."
Xilin walked into the room and actually found a pomegranate with a somewhat shriveled outer skin from the cabinet.
Pomegranates can be stored for a long time. Although Gu Huaian didn't remember how many months they were harvested, he could usually eat them in winter when he went to his grandma's house when he was a child.
There was a rest area with parasols, tables and chairs on the south side of the yard. Xilin made a pot of scented tea, poured two cups for herself and Gu Huaian, then found a plate and peeled the pomegranate leisurely.
Tea is not a good tea. This is what they serve to guests when eating in some ethnic restaurants here, but it tastes pretty good, very flowery, but the taste of tea is slightly lighter.
It's like the jasmine tea that many elderly people love to drink. It's cheap but has great flavor.
Gu Huaian really liked drinking it, and asked Xilin where to buy it...
This kind of tea is probably something that the actor Su will definitely disdain.
"Give."
After peeling a small plate of pomegranates, Xilin gave them all to Gu Huainan. She was a little flattered by Gu Huainan and couldn't help but say:
"This is the first time someone has peeled a pomegranate for me..."
Xilin smiled when she heard this and said:
"Then if you come here often, my sister will peel it off for you."
Gu Huaian grinned and said nothing, and went to drink tea and eat pomegranates...
Occasionally, Gu Huaian's mind wandered a little and asked Xilin whether drinking tea and eating pomegranates would cause diarrhea. Xilin shook her head and smiled without even asking Du Niang, just saying that you worry too much, and you can't believe what you say online now. According to what is said on the Internet, you really should not eat or drink anything.
While the two were chatting, there was a movement at the door. Aunt Hua came carrying a bag and a bowl of freshly stewed beef.
The bag contained some vegetables. Aunt Hua first put down the beef, then pointed to the vegetables in the bag and said:
"These vegetables all grow in your yard. If you haven't come back for so long, your place has almost become my vegetable garden..."
Aunt Hua shook her head and sighed. Xilin had planted some vegetables in her yard. She had been away for at least half a month or more than half a year. When the vegetables grew, Aunt Hua basically took them home. This was considered a tacit understanding between them. Agreed.
Xilin doesn't care, as long as she can eat home-grown vegetables every time she comes back...
"Thank you."
Xilin pursed her lips and smiled. While thanking her, she did not forget to take out two bags from the room and gave them to Aunt Hua before leaving.
One of them was fruit bought on the road. She bought two portions. Before, Gu Huaian wondered why she bought so much, but now she understood that it was for Aunt Hua.
The other bag looked like a packaging bag, and inside it was a small earring. It was given by the brand a few days ago. It cost no money and was not expensive, otherwise Aunt Hua would not have wanted it.
It is worth mentioning that after Aunt Hua left, an orange cat ran in at the door...
The inner cat probably didn't eat and was very chubby. Gu Huaian liked it very much when he saw it, so he ran over and hugged it...
This cat was not afraid of animals and actually let Gu Huaian hold it.
But it only lasted for a short while, and I was struggling to get down...
After getting down, he ran a few steps and reached Xilin's feet.
Gu Huaian couldn't help but roll his eyes, meaning Xilin was better than him, right? !
Xilin covered her mouth and smiled, gently picked up the orange cat, and told Gu Huaian that this cat was Aunt Hua's cat, called Dudu. Every time she arrived, the cat would run away as if it smelled something. come over.
"Go to the kitchen and help me find that ham sausage. I remember there is one..."
Xilin called Gu Huaian for help. The reason why the cat came often was because he knew that when he saw Xilin, he would get something delicious.
Aunt Hua is definitely not bad at cats, but she usually just feeds them cat food. Cats are also smart, and they also need to eat some "game" occasionally.
This was the first time Gu Huaian fed a cat. He broke it into small pieces and threw them in front of it. Don't tell me that even though this cat was plump, it was really cute and adorable...
"Do you like cats?"
Xilin asked as if she saw it.
"Um……"
Gu Huaian nodded. There are few boys who don't like cats, and Pei Jingshu also likes them. However, they are both busy at work, so if they have cats, they are left to others to raise, which is not interesting.
Xilin smiled, thought for a while, and said:
"Then do you want to raise one together?"
The first time he heard this, Gu Huaian was stunned for a moment and looked at Xilin strangely...
Siren happened to be looking at him too.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air, and for a moment, the air became stagnant.
Together……
Get a cat?
…
