Chapter 62 South and North
After sitting in the back row, Xia Qing happily rubbed Xiaoxi's little face and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, how about we continue to live together in the future?"
"All right."
Xiaoxi nodded with a little effort. Xia Qing was really too happy, and the force of his hands rubbing her face was a little too strong, making her head shake, and she had to use force to nod.
The little girl has already gotten out of her sad state. After all, she is still young, her emotions come and go quickly, and she knows not to cause trouble to others, so she won't keep herself indulging in inconvenient emotions.
The phone suddenly rang, Xia Qing picked up the phone and saw that it was Yang Lijing calling. She panicked, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the phone on the ground.
"Hello? What's wrong, Miss Li?"
She answered the phone and asked nervously.
Yang Lijing got straight to the point on the phone and asked, "Did you drive your car away?"
Xia Qing said: "Ah... yes..." What bad luck! Sister Li obviously doesn't drive normally and rarely goes to the underground parking lot. How come I was discovered by Sister Li just a few days after driving out by myself? !
Yang Lijing asked again: "Aren't you supposed to be writing songs there? Why are you driving?"
Xia Qing stammered and tried to find an excuse to explain: "I, I, I, I can't find any inspiration at home. So I thought I'd drive out for a walk. Maybe I can find some inspiration by looking around."
"Why are you stuttering?"
Yang Lijing's questions go straight to the soul.
Xia Qing stuttered even more: "No, no, no, no, yes, yes, right..."
"Pfft..."
Yang Lijing couldn't help laughing at the sound of it, "Listen to your voice, it's not there yet? Tell me, what on earth have you been doing?"
Xia Qing said: "Really collecting folk songs and writing songs."
Yang Lijing said, "Okay, you are an adult now, and I won't bother to ask if you don't tell me. So do you have any inspiration for going out to collect folk songs?"
Xia Qing said, "Yes, yes, I have. I have written two more songs!" She seemed to feel that the difficult problem was finally dealt with. She stopped stuttering and spoke fluently, "Sister Yang, do you want me to sing for you now?"
Yang Lijing smiled and said, "Forget it for now. Let's talk about it when you come back. I'm not interested in listening to you talking about 'their dependence, their dependence' on the phone."
Xia Qing secretly glanced forward and was relieved to see that Lin Guzhi seemed to be concentrating on driving and was not paying attention to what she was saying on the phone.
"Then I'll go back and talk about it. I'll be back soon."
As she spoke, she ended the call with Yang Lijing, hung up the phone and put it away, then secretly glanced at Lin Guzhi, thinking anxiously, I didn't turn on the speakerphone for my phone, and I was sitting in the back seat, so the stinky uncle shouldn't be able to hear what Sister Li said on the phone, right?
Well, it should be fine.
After writing the lyrics in the later stage, the title of the song "Their Dependence" must be changed and it must not be used anymore!
Suddenly I feel a little ashamed of the title of this song...
Thinking of this, Xia Qing let out a breath, hugged Xiaoxi and asked, "Are you sleepy, Xiaoxi?"
Xiaoxi shook her head.
Xia Qing said: "Then let's sing?"
Xiaoxi nodded: "Okay."
"Then I'll teach you a nursery rhyme."
So Xia Qing successfully diverted his attention and started singing with Xiaoxi.
She didn't notice that Lin Guzhi, who was driving in front, glanced at her silently through the rearview mirror.
Lin Guzhi heard everything she and Yang Lijing said just now, including the song called "Their Dependence". Lin Guzhi suddenly realized that this woman strongly requested that he and Xiaoxi stay and live with her, probably because she regarded him and Xiaoxi as inspiration tools.
However, he did not expose the matter. He just waited for Xia Qing to teach Xiaoxi to sing for a while, and then asked, "What song did you write this time?" This was what Xia Qing had just said in the car, so Lin Guzhi's question to Xia Qing did not arouse Xia Qing's vigilance.
Xia Qing was a little embarrassed and said, "I only have some inspiration for two songs, but I haven't written them yet. One was inspired on the way to Shanxi Province, and the theme is the mood on the road. I plan to tentatively name it "All the Way North". The other one is... The inspiration is a bit mixed, and I haven't sorted out the ideas, but maybe the name "All the Way South" will also work."
Lin Guzhi said: "Is that so."
"Ah."
Xia Qing nodded and said, "But these are just tentative names. I might try to write the lyrics for these two songs myself. If they turn out good, I'll use these two song titles. If they don't turn out well, I'll give them to other people to write, and the song titles will be changed."
Lin Guzhi said: "Then you should do your best."
Xia Qing's eyebrows opened and she smiled like a flower: "Yeah! Thank you, uncle!"
This topic made her completely relaxed, and she felt a little proud in her heart, thinking: See, I said it was not in vain! Not only did I help Uncle Chou and Xiaoxi, but I also wrote a song. I am so awesome!
She looked out of the car window. Her car was driving fast and smoothly under the control of the stinky uncle. It had already driven out of the winding mountain road and onto the flat and wide avenue.
Out of Jin Province.
We have already entered the territory of Henan Province.
She suddenly began to miss the small village where Uncle Chou came from, as well as Uncle Anquan and Aunt Xiuzhi.
I am so sentimental.
She sighed secretly in her heart.
This is probably why I bought a noodle bed for the stinky uncle.
She carefully sorted out her thoughts and looked at Xiaoxi who was leaning against her quietly.
It seemed that since Xiaoxi's sympathy was aroused at the beginning, he became particularly sentimental and wanted to consider Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi seemed to have become a bond, forcing her to be tied to the uncle.
——She always has to take the stinky uncle into consideration in order to help Xiaoxi.
But no matter what, the stinky uncle is indeed a good person - although he was cold and choked her neck at the beginning, and he was not very enthusiastic later.
This time after returning to Uncle Chou's hometown, she learned more about his past, and her sympathy for him became even greater.
Compared to me, Uncle Chou had a hard life. While I was still being carefully cared for by my family, Uncle Chou had already shouldered the burden of life.
If he escaped from home, he could still get secret help from his mother, stay with his mother's best friend, and get care from Sister Li. But after his grandfather, his only relative, passed away, the stinky uncle could only survive alone in this world.
That's why she wanted to do something.
It’s nothing else, I just want to make a person who is walking alone in the world feel a little care and warmth.
Of course, the stinky uncle is not alone now, because he has Xiaoxi.
When Xia Qing thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Fortunately, Xiaoxi showed up...
The experiences they had together, which they themselves were unaware of, might have been full of suffering and misfortune. But in the end, they were able to accompany each other, which should be a kind of luck...
I felt a bit uncomfortable yesterday and didn't write anything. Today I got up and wrote for an hour and finished one chapter. I will upload it first and upload the second chapter later.
Sorry for the late update!
I would also like to thank book friend 20220812183836149 for the reward.
