Chapter 56 Dear Yuran, you are here
On that day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. An Yuran couldn't wait to get a rest from the county hospital, went to the department store to buy some gifts, and rushed to Zhangjia Village to meet Zhang Shaoping.
She bought gifts from the department store and was about to rush to the bus station. She passed by a bookstore. There was a wooden sign hanging outside the bookstore, and the wooden sign read the book list - "Ordinary World". She was attracted by the title of the book. She knew that Shaoping liked reading, so she bought the book from the bookstore.
When she bought a bus ticket and took the bus to Qilong Town, she sat quietly in the seat and carefully looked at the set of "Ordinary World" she had just bought. When she read the content for a few pages, she was deeply attracted by the book. At this moment, her brain was pulled by something. Everything in the book was presented to her, and she seemed to have forgotten everything around her.
The bus continued to drive slowly on the asphalt road. Outside the window, the joy of farmers' harvest was shown, and the maple leaves in the mountains and forests were everywhere, but all the beautiful scenery always missed her, because she had been reading this book "Ordinary World" silently since she got on the bus until now. She was deeply dormant by everything in the book. Because she was too deeply involved, she had no feeling when the bus arrived at the station. If the bus driver had not woken her up from the sea of books, she might have kept reading.
An Yuran closed the book and pursed her lips, feeling as if she had harvested some treasure. She walked out of the bus station of Qilong Town and asked the people in Qilong Town about the road to Zhangjia Village.
Now the road to Zhangjia Village is not as bumpy as before. The originally bumpy dirt road has become a brand new asphalt road, and the transportation is becoming more and more convenient. Now there is rural passenger transport to Zhangjia Village.
An Yuran took the rural passenger transport to Zhangjia Village. Along the way, she did not continue to watch "Ordinary World", but looked out the window. The scenery outside the window was very attractive. When the bus drove to Tianshui River, the trickle on the river surface made people feel very comfortable, and the breeze blowing on the face made people feel extremely cool. The bus drove past Tianshui River and arrived at Yingshan. After driving forward from Yingshan, he arrived at Zhangjia Village.
After An Yuran got off the bus, she saw that there were countless people coming and going on the streets of Zhangjia Village, making countless noises and doing business. She pulled someone and asked, "Hello, can you ask where Zhang Shaoping's family lives?"
The man looked at An Yuran and knew that she was an outsider of the village at a glance. He smiled and said, "Girl, I don't think you look like a local. Why are you looking for Zhang Shaoping?"
"Auntie, that's right. I'm Zhang Shaoping's girlfriend. This is my first time in Zhangjia Village. I don't know where he lives, so I want to ask."
"Oh, so that's it. Since it's Shaoping's girlfriend, I'll take you to his house!"
"This, how can you be so embarrassed!"
"Girl, don't be polite to me, it should be."
After a while, the villager brought An Yuran to Zhang Shaoping's house and said to her: "Girl, this is Zhang Shaoping's house."
After saying that, the man shouted at Zhang Shaoping's house and said, "Fugui, there are guests in your house." After saying that, he turned around and left. An Yuran bowed to her and thanked her.
Zhang Fugui walked out of the room after hearing the shout. When he opened the door, he saw An Yuran standing outside his door. Fugui had never seen Yuran before. He looked at her in confusion and said, "Who are you?"
An Yuran responded with a smile: "Hello, is this Zhang Shaoping's family? My name is An Yuran, and I am Zhang Shaoping's girlfriend."
Zhang Fugui said in surprise: "What, you, you, are you Shaoping's girlfriend?"
"Yes, uncle, I am Shaoping's girlfriend."
Zhang Fugui hurriedly shouted into the room and said, "Shaoping, hurry up, come out quickly, your girlfriend is here."
After hearing this, Zhang Shaoping ran out of the house. When she saw Yuran standing in front of him, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Yuran smiled at him and said, "Shaoping, I'm here, why do you feel that you don't welcome me at all."
Shaoping ran to Yuran, and said happily incoherently, "How could it be, happy, of course, happy..."
"I've been standing here for a long time, why don't you invite me to sit at home?"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my elm head, hurry, hurry, please come in."
Yuran followed Shaoping into the house. The two of them sat on the sofa chatting, wanting to say all the things they hadn't said over the years. Zhang Fugui and Li Jianmei were preparing to cook and entertain Yuran in the kitchen. After all, this was the first time they met Shaoping's watery girlfriend.
While helping Li Jianmei cook, Zhang Fugui whispered to Li Jianmei: "Jianmei! How about Shaoping's girlfriend?" Li Jianmei looked at An Yuran through the glass window and said with a smile: "I think it's good. Shaoping is the same. He has a girlfriend and she still hides it from you and me. If he hadn't come to our house today, we would have been confused."
"Jianmei! Let's not take care of the child's affairs too much. Shaoping just needs to make the decision on this relationship."
"All right, you're not in a hurry at all. Shaoping should get married, so I'm in a hurry if you don't."
"But it's useless to be anxious! Shaoping's girlfriend is here, why are you still anxious?"
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't argue with you."
"Fugui, come, how about you try this dish?" Li Jianmei took a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a little of the fried shredded pork and sent it to Fugui's mouth.
"Well, it's pretty good, but it's a little salty."
"Ah!" Li Jianmei hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks and tasted it himself. Sure enough, the salt was less, and she said with a smile: "It's indeed a little lighter, but then again, the salt we put in for dinner and cooking is heavier. I don't know if Shaoping's girlfriend is used to eating or not?"
"Then, then just add less salt! Don't let others choke after a while, and I think our family hasn't eaten salt for many years."
"Okay, okay, okay, listen to you."
An Yuran sat on the sofa, took out the book "Ordinary World" I bought in the bookstore and handed it to Zhang Shaoping, and said with a smile: "Shaoping, I know you like reading books. This book was bought in the bookstore when I came today. I read some on the bus. It feels very real. I believe you will definitely like it after reading it."
Zhang Shaoping took the book from Yu Ran, looked at the eye-catching words on the book, and said, "Ordinary World."
"Shaoping, don't underestimate this book. This book is true. Although I haven't finished reading it, I have already felt it deeply. We live in this ordinary world, but we can live extraordinary. This is the most intuitive feeling this book gives me."
"Yuran, I didn't expect you to have such a high evaluation of this book, so I will definitely read it carefully." After Zhang Shaoping finished speaking, he led An Yuran into the inner room. There were three bookshelves in the inner room, and books divided into categories were classified, including political science, economics, history and other books.
Just as Shaoping and Yuran were having fun chatting, Li Jianmei prepared the meal, placed the meal on the wooden table, and said loudly: "Shaoping, hurry up, call your girlfriend out for dinner." Shaoping responded after hearing this.
"Yuran, let's go to have a meal first!" As he said that, Zhang Shaoping and An Yuran walked out of the inner room. An Yuran looked at the delicious food on the table, which was full of color, fragrance and taste.
The woman served An Yuran a bowl of rice and said with a smile: "Girl, what's your name?"
"Auntie, my surname is An and my name is Yuran. Just call me Yuran," An Yuran responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay, Yuran, this is the first time you have come to your house. You have to eat more food later."
"Okay, thank you aunt."
"I don't thank you, and I don't know if you are used to eating. My aunt, I don't have much skills. You can take care of the unhealthy places!"
"Auntie, where do you say this? Such a large table of dishes looks very delicious alone!"
"Okay, then you eat more. Yuran really makes the aunt happy when she speaks!"
Zhang Youcai is old and can no longer pick up the dishes with his shaking fingers. An Yuran picked up a chopstick with bamboo chopsticks and handed it to Zhang Youcai, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'll pick up some dishes for you to eat!"
Zhang Youcai pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, Shaoping can have a girlfriend like you, okay, that's great."
After hearing this, An Yuran smiled and said, "Grandpa, your body looks really tough."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Youcai nodded, "But it's not possible. He's old and has problems with his waist and legs, and it's not convenient to walk. He can only stay at home and smoke dry tobacco. He might die at any time."
"Grandpa, don't say these unlucky words. You are always stronger and healthy."
After hearing what Yuran said, the family was very happy. Zhang Fugui said to Shaoping: "Shaoping! Why don't you pick up food for Yuran?"
Zhang Shaoping was scolded by his father Zhang Youcai, and shyly picked up the food with bamboo chopsticks and handed it to Yuran’s bowl. Yuran smiled and said, “Enough, enough, Shaoping, I can’t finish it if I pick it up again, but don’t waste it.”
Zhang Fugui smiled at Yuran and said, "Yuran! Where are you working now?"
"Uncle, I'm working in the county hospital now!"
"Okay, okay, okay, it's good to be a doctor, it's good to be a doctor."
"Then who are there in your family?" Zhang Fugui continued to ask.
Before Yu Ran could say it, Zhang Shaoping said, "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you checking your household registration like the Public Security Bureau?" Zhang Fugui's face became a shy blush when Shaoping said this.
An Yuran smiled and said to Shaoping: "Shaoping, it is normal for uncle to ask this."
"It's still Yuran who is sensible and can speak." Zhang Fugui smiled.
"Uncle, that's right. I have three people in my family, only my parents and I."
"Oh, so that's it! Then you are an only child."
