After lunch, they set off. It took them more than an hour to drive out of the downtown area. As the outer ring of the city had not been repaired yet, Liu Xing could only drive around the downtown area. Thankfully, there were not many cars in this age. Otherwise, it would take them half a day to drive out of the downtown area.
Ren Shanshan looked at the things in the car and was a little dumbfounded. She knew that Liu Xing had gone out to buy some gifts for her family, but she did not expect that Liu Xing had bought so much, from clothes to shoes and socks, from food to drinks, all kinds of messy things, filling the car. If it wasn't for the fact that this was a large off-road vehicle, it really couldn't fit. Even so, the back was full.
Ren Shanshan was very touched and felt Liu Xing's sincerity. She said excitedly,""Xiao Jian, there's no need to buy so many things.”
Liu Xing shook his head and said," How can that do? You only go back once every so many years. You must let your relatives and friends see that you have made a name for yourself. Besides, it's my first time to visit you, so I have to perform well."”
Ren Shanshan nodded and said nothing, but her gratitude to Liu Xing remained in her heart. She secretly vowed that she would treat Liu Xing well in this life. He was the best person to her except for her parents, and he would be the most important person in her life.
Liu Xing didn't drive fast. Luckily, the highway from Shenyang-Beijing was not long. They arrived at Shanhaiguan in more than six hours. They didn't get off the highway. Liu Xing had prepared a lot of food for them. They just ate some and continued on the road. When they arrived at Tianjin at 10 pm, Liu Xing stopped driving. It was too tiring to drive alone. Fortunately, there was a beauty beside him. Otherwise, Liu Xing wouldn't have driven for more than ten hours in a row. It was like traveling had become suffering.
The two of them found a hotel in Tianjin and ate a few mouthfuls before staying. The next morning, they ate steamed buns in Goubuli. Liu Xing knew that he had to go to an old shop to eat these snacks, so he bought more than 10 buns. The authentic Goubuli was indeed much better than the steamed buns in the railway station.
In Tianjin, Liu Xing also bought some preserved fruits and Tianjin's 18th Street fried dough twist. These were all specialties of Tianjin. They were all for Ren Shanshan's face. Ren Shanshan didn't say it, but she was very happy in her heart. It showed that Liu Xing really cared about her and wasn't just playing around. After all, no one would spend so much for a woman who had a one-time relationship.
Ren Shanshan's home was in Sanlipu, an ancient town under Dingxing County in Baoding City. It was a small village with a large population and little land in Hebei Province. It was a very poor place.
At noon, Liu Xing drove into Baoding City Under the guidance of Ren Shanshan, he drove past Dingxing County. When he got out of Dingxing County, the road was very broken. When he got out of the ancient town, it was full of dirt roads. When he got to Sanlipu, the road was very bumpy. Liu Xing drove carefully. After all, it was a new car. Liu Xing regretted driving the car sign. If he went back like this, his father would feel sorry for him.
When she entered the village, it caused a sensation. Sanlipu was one of the poorest villages in the surrounding ten miles. In all these years, only Ren Shanshan had been admitted to university, and she was studying in the provincial capital of Northeast China. On the day she left, the entire village came to send her off. Many people regarded her as their hope and treated her as their own child. Most of the tuition fees for the first year were raised by the families in the village.
As expected, Ren Shanshan did not disappoint them. Although she did not return after she left, she would send money to her family every year. Moreover, she did not ask for a single cent from her family after the first year. Yesterday, Mother Ren received a call and told the villagers that Ren Shanshan was bringing her boyfriend back. Early this morning, many people were waiting at the village entrance. The crowd only dispersed when it was almost noon.
Unexpectedly, Ren Shanshan came back in a small car as soon as the crowd dispersed. The children in the village jumped behind the car. Liu Xing drove carefully. The roads in the village were relatively narrow. After a while, before the car reached Ren Shanshan's house, Ren Shanshan's parents came out to welcome them. They walked faster than the car, so it was obvious that the road conditions were bad.
When Ren Shanshan saw her parents, she couldn't help but open the door and get out of the car. She immediately threw herself into Ren's mother's arms, tears streaming down her face. Liu Xing, under Ren's father's instructions, parked the car at the entrance of the Ren family home. After getting out of the car, he saw Ren Shanshan holding Ren's mother's hand and walking over.
Ren Shanshan blushed and said," Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend. His name is Liu Xing."”
Liu Xing hurriedly said: "Uncle, aunt, hello I am Liu Xing, Shanshan's boyfriend."”
Ren Baqian's father was an honest farmer. He nodded without saying anything. On the other hand, Ren Baqian's mother kept praising Liu Xing. It was said that the more a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more proud she became. It was the same for Ren Baqian's mother. Liu Xing was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and he was dressed in branded clothes. With just a glance, she knew that he was a city dweller. Moreover, he drove a car. Naturally, Ren Baqian's mother was very satisfied with him.
Liu Xing opened the trunk, took out a bag of candy and distributed it to the children around him. The children were so happy that they jumped up and down. The crowd around them did not disperse, but increased instead. Liu Xing said to Ren Shanshan,""Shanshan, get auntie to find a place. I'll bring the gift in.”
Ren Shanshan nodded and whispered to Ren mother. Ren mother's eyes lit up and called a few neighbors to unload the things from the car with Liu Xing. This time, everyone around was envious. There were all kinds of clothes, cigarettes, alcohol, food, gift boxes, and the most exaggerated thing was that there was a thin screen TV in the back. Liu Xing had bought it in Tianjin when he heard that Ren Shanshan only had a black and white TV at home. The neighbors, regardless of whether they could help or not, gathered around. Some of them went into the house to watch the new TV. Just as they were busy, a girl in a white shirt ran out.
"Yingying!" Ren Shanshan called out.”As he spoke, he hugged the little girl.
Liu Xing knew that this was Ren Shanshan's sister. This year, she was in her third year of high school and was also going to take the college entrance examination. The reason why Ren Shanshan decided to take that road was not because she wanted her sister to have a good start. Otherwise, the rising tuition fees and living expenses would make Ren Yingying's school road have all kinds of twists and turns.
Ren Yingying also looked at Liu Xing curiously and asked,""Are you my future brother-in-law?"
Liu Xing nodded and smiled." Yes, you are Yingying. Your sister has praised you in front of me many times. She said that you are very good at your studies. You are a seedling of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the college entrance examination. How are you? Are you confident?"”
Ren Yingying snorted and said," Of course, but why do you have the same attitude as my teacher? You love to educate people when you talk."”
Mother Ren was so angry that she slapped Ren Yingying and said,""Go, crazy girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Little Star, can I call you that?”
Liu Xing hurriedly nodded,"Aunt, you don't have to be polite. Call me anything."”
Mother Ren smiled and nodded." Let's go. Xiao Xing, come in quickly. Don't stand at the door. Shanshan is such a child. Why didn't she tell me earlier? You didn't tidy up the house when you came back."”
Liu Xing smiled and said,"Aunt, I am not an outsider."”After saying that, she followed Mother Ren into the Ren family's courtyard.
Ren Shanshan's house was a former mud house with three rooms. There was a jujube tree in the yard, a pig, and a few chickens. The yard was now full of people. Liu Xing kept greeting these relatives and friends under the introduction of his mother. When he entered the house, Liu Xing did not remember many people. There were too many people.
The basement of the east room was filled with all kinds of gifts that Liu Xing had bought. The TV was placed on the brick bed. Liu Xing found that there was almost no place to put his feet in the room, so he had to sit on the brick bed. Mother Ren brought the peanuts, melon seeds, and candy that had been prepared in advance.
Father Ren lit a pipe and smoked it. He sat by the edge of the Kang and did not say anything. Liu Xing hurriedly took out the cigarettes he bought and lit one for Father Ren.
Father Ren took it and took a puff. His eyes lit up as he said,""These cigarettes are not bad. How about a few yuan for a box?”
Ren Shanshan quickly said," Dad, this is Zhonghua that Xiaoxing bought for you. It costs thirty to forty yuan a box now."”
Father Ren's hand trembled and was almost scalded by the smoke. He said in surprise,""How much? Thirty to forty yuan a box?"
Ren Shanshan nodded. The way Mother Ren looked at Liu Xing changed. Liu Xing had bought so many things, but Mother Ren only had her eyes on the big TV. She didn't know how much the other things were. When she heard Ren Shanshan say that a box of cigarettes cost 30 to 40 yuan, the other things must not be cheap either. She secretly pulled Ren Shanshan to ask, and sure enough, those clothes cost more than 100 yuan each.
A few of Ren Shanshan's relatives came in. Father Ren gave each of them a cigarette and emphasized,""My son-in-law bought these for 40 yuan a box.”When everyone heard that it was 40 yuan per box, their eyes lit up. They didn't know whether to smoke or not. Some of them started to ask Liu Xing what his family did for a living.
Ren Shanshan couldn't stand it and said," Mom, let Liu Xing rest in the west room. He has been driving all morning."”
" Alright, alright," Mother Ren said hurriedly." Hurry up and lie down for a while. I'll go prepare dinner."”
Liu Xing also couldn't resist these relatives of Ren Shanshan's family, so he followed Ren Shanshan to the west room, lying on the brick bed, stretching his waist, and stretched out his hand to pull Ren Shanshan into his arms. Ren Shanshan was shocked and said,"Don't. Dad and Mom are just next door."
Liu Xing smiled and said,"I know I just want to hug you." Shanshan, there are so many people at your house. Why don't we have a banquet? I'll give you 2,000 yuan. Find some people to buy some food and wine, borrow some tables and chairs, and entertain your relatives and friends. You also said that you were able to pass the exams and go to university. Thanks to everyone's help, it's fine that you didn't come back all these years. Since you're back, you have to thank everyone.”
Ren Shanshan leaned in Liu Xing's arms, getting softer and softer, and said in a low voice,""Thank you, Little Star. I really don't know how to thank you.”
Liu Xing smiled and patted Ren Shanshan's shoulder, saying,""Do you still want to be polite with me? Alright, hurry up and inform the people to go buy things. It doesn't matter if you buy more. If you can borrow some tables, invite the entire village to help your parents gain face.”
Ren Shanshan nodded and whispered,""Little Xing, you should rest for a while. I'll go out first and accompany you later.”
Liu Xing nodded and lay on the brick bed, not wanting to move. After driving for so long, he was really tired.
