Chapter 158 Xu Yi is still a child
When Xu Yi is with Jiang Qing, Jiang Qing still treats her like a child.
I took it to the mall and bought Tuantuan a new cotton-padded jacket for winter, and also bought one for Xu Yi.
The pink cotton-padded jacket made her skin look very white. Xu Yi thought it looked too bulky, but Jiang Qing praised her a lot.
"That's the way it looks. Don't learn from Yu Qian. Look at how she dresses all day long."
Jiang Qing patted the soft material of the down jacket, "Not bad, no down sticking through it."
Xu Yi smiled at Jiang Qing, "Mom, isn't it too... too young?"
"It's not big to begin with."
As he spoke, he put another scarf around her neck, "I remember you loved wearing scarves before. I saw you wearing them often during the changing seasons..."
Xu Yi smiled but said nothing. She was just trying to hide something at that time.
"It's a good time to wear a scarf in winter. You can wear it like this when it's a little cold."
Jiang Qing said, and called the salesperson over, "One size bigger, another one."
Xu Yi immediately understood what she meant. Because Jiang Qing was too nice to the supporting actress, Song Yuqian was always jealous and blamed Jiang Qing for secretly buying things for her.
In order to keep Song Yuqian balanced, Jiang Qing would take back a copy of whatever the supporting actress bought, and it was up to her whether she wore it or not.
When they reached the first floor and were about to leave, Jiang Qing picked out a pair of thick beige sweatpants and a pair of furry boots for each of them.
Xu Yi didn’t hold the child, but she was carrying a lot of bags. Not many, just a bit mixed...it felt like a lot.
"Mom, it's so difficult now, isn't it a bad idea for us to spend money like this?"
"It's okay. You still have to wear clothes even if it's difficult. I can't let you go without clothes."
Xu Yi: …
Tuantuan’s, hers, and Song Yuqian’s, this is treating all three of them as children.
After arriving home, Xu Yi changed her clothes, put on pajamas and lay on the bed. She originally wanted to go see Song Yanming, but she was afraid that if she kept running to the basement at this time, it would distract him.
Moreover, I am even more afraid of meeting Gu Beicheng and others.
So many people saw Han Fei hugging her yesterday. If she didn't wait for a few days and went straight to get caught, it would be too embarrassing. Just thinking about it, she felt like she could buy a luxurious villa.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, "Can I come in?"
"can."
Xu Yi got up from the bed, and Jiang Qing was holding a bottle in his hand.
The bottle looks a little broken. It should be a jar for medicine. After being eroded by wind and frost, its original appearance can no longer be seen.
Xu Yi comes from the countryside and used to use this kind of bottle to store sauerkraut when he was a child, so he recognizes it.
When the female supporting character lived in the mountains, she also relied on this kind of bottle to bring a little salt to mix with the staple food.
The female supporting character's grandmother said that people will have no strength if they don't eat salt, so you have to spend money to buy some salt to eat, because children cannot do without strength.
Looking at the bottle in Jiang Qing's hand, Xu Yi's memories of the female supporting role in the mountains came flooding back.
Her father is blind and her mother ran away, so only her grandmother treats her well.
But since the female supporting role followed Jiang Qing into the city, she has been wishing she could change her surname to Song, so she has always been indifferent to her grandmother who is still in the countryside, and feels that her grandmother's existence is a stain on her life...
In the novel, there is not much introduction to this, and the female supporting role is only mentioned in a few sentences.
But according to the female supporting character's memory, Xu Yi saw the rather cold and dark side hidden in her heart.
When she first left the mountains, the female supporting character wanted to go to the city with Jiang Qing to live a good life. She said goodbye to her country friends, teachers, and grandmother, and even knelt in front of her grandmother crying, saying that she would definitely come back to see her if she became rich and successful in the future.
Later, they entered the big city, got off the plane, and witnessed the prosperity of Jiangcheng, an international metropolis. The female supporting role started crying as soon as she got into the luxury car, and kept crying until the car stopped at the door of a luxurious villa.
That was her first time coming to the Song family and seeing Song Yuqian and the half-grown boy.
"This is my sister..."
Song Yuqian was holding a cake in her hands, but when she saw Xu Yi, she burst into tears and the cake fell to the ground.
The supporting actress had only been seen on TV. She squatted over, picked up the cake, and put it into her mouth to eat.
Perhaps this scene made Jiang Qing too uncomfortable. In the years that followed, Jiang Qing would take the initiative to ask her if she wanted to eat cake.
The female supporting character had already been spoiled for a long time, and she said coquettishly, "Mom, I don't want to eat. When are you going to complete the adoption procedures?"
She couldn't go through the adoption procedures as long as her grandmother was still alive, and now that she had settled down in the Song family, she had almost no contact with her grandmother.
Only when Jiang Qing asked her about it, she would pretend to make a few phone calls, but her sincerity was not there.
"Okay grandma, I'm fine. Mom is very good to me."
"Mom treats me like her own daughter, grandma, don't worry."
"I love you, grandma. You have to take good care of yourself..."
Jiang Qing praised her for being filial, but in fact, the female supporting character had hardly any contact with her grandmother.
Later, grandma fell ill, but she didn't tell anyone. She was afraid of dragging down the female supporting role, so she picked up medicine from an old Chinese doctor in the village to treat her illness.
But the illness didn't seem to get better. It dragged on and on. Finally, one evening, I went down to the fields to get some vegetables for the next day.
The elderly may be afraid that they will not be able to get up, so they prepare more dishes in advance and keep them at home so that they can have a full meal before they die.
As a result, he fainted in a field in the countryside.
When he was found, he was wet all over and dead.
It was winter at the time, and the villagers said that he most likely died of cold.
The female supporting actress went through the formalities and finished the funeral for her grandmother. Jiang Qing stayed with her and hugged her and cried...
Since the supporting actress left the countryside early, she later considered herself the daughter of the Song family, so she was not sad about her grandmother's departure. She just thought that since her grandmother was gone, Jiang Qing could already complete the adoption procedures.
Announce her identity as the second daughter of the Song Group to everyone, and she should also appear in front of everyone in a gorgeous and dazzling manner.
But no, Jiang Qing said to her, "I raised you, but I am not your parent, I cannot let you have the surname Song."
"You can call me mom, but I can't take away your last name. It's not good for you."
So after grandma died, the female supporting role never made it to become the legitimate second daughter of the Song family...
Jiang Qing sat beside the bed and saw her staring at the bottle in a daze, with tears in her eyes about to fall.
She took a tissue and wiped it for her. "I wanted to give this to you a few years ago, but I thought you were still immature at that time, and I was afraid that you couldn't keep it well."
Xu Yi lowered his eyes: "This is..."
She guessed that it might have been left by the female supporting character's grandmother.
"The chief of your village gave it to me when I was helping with your grandmother's funeral."
Xu Yi nodded, and the face of an old man gradually became clear in his mind. The old man always said to his childhood girlfriend, "Call me grandpa, call me grandpa and I'll give you candy."
"Grandpa, village chief!"
Then grandpa gave her some candy. As soon as she ate the candy, her face changed. She said to the village chief, "Lululu, you bad grandpa, not a good grandpa, you bad grandpa!"
