"Aunt Sun is two years older than Uncle Sun. She should be sixty-seven this year, right?" The second uncle took a sip of water.
"But that person just now looks like she is only in her early thirties, and she is a beautiful aunt!"
"puff--"
"..." I wiped the water off my face expressionlessly.
The second uncle hurriedly put the water aside and took out toilet paper to wipe my face: "More than thirty years old? Impossible. Did you read it wrong?"
"No." I thought for a moment and gestured with my hands, "The dress she wore here has curly hair that reaches her shoulders. The heels are so high and she is thin and white."
And her breasts are quite big, which I am embarrassed to say.
The second uncle's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he shook his head vigorously: "Either you saw it wrong, or she is not your grandma."
"I read that right!" I stamped my feet anxiously, "Besides, she knows you, and my second uncle left after seeing you."
I glanced faintly at my second uncle's head reflected in the light of the carriage.
Of course, it's also possible that he was scared away by his second uncle's bald head.
"Among the people my uncle knows, Aunt Sun is the only one who has a mole on her nose, and besides, it's a triangular mole." My uncle rubbed his knees with his big hands, and we looked at each other, confused.
The second uncle suddenly stood up and said, "No, I have to go take a look. Don't run around and stay honest with Lulu."
"OK."
The second uncle walked to the next carriage with swishing steps.
I was excitedly waiting for the results, my curiosity was raised to its peak.
Lulu raised her head sleepily and asked me angrily: "Nuan Ting, where are you?"
It happened that the loudspeaker had just announced: "Entering Lotus City."
"Oh." Lulu lowered her head and fell asleep again.
I pushed Lulu's shoulder: "Lulu, do you think someone can stay young forever?"
Lulu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me with a smile: "We haven't grown up yet, and you are thinking about not growing old. Nuanting, you are so worried."
"I am not kidding."
"Really?" Lulu shook her braid, "Eternal youth, well... I've only heard of it in fairy tales, but I haven't seen anyone stay young forever."
"..." Yes, who can stay young forever? Maybe I really saw it wrong. Maybe the beautiful aunt just now actually had wrinkles on her face, but she was made younger by the light?
But the big lollipop was still lying quietly on the small table.
Why.
It's really strange. I can't even think about it. I wish I had a very smart head... No, not even a very smart one. I would be too ugly like my second uncle. I will have to get married in the future.
After a while, the second uncle came back. The second uncle said that he looked around in the car behind and didn't see the person I mentioned.
There was no answer to the result I was expecting, and I was so uncomfortable that I scratched my head. If my second uncle hadn't asked me to go to bed quickly, I would have wanted to take a walk in the back carriage.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the train finally arrived at the station.
After coming out of the train station into the city, Lulu and I looked around at the endless residential buildings, the smooth asphalt-covered road, the various cars passing by, and the various small shops on both sides of the street. Our jaws dropped.
Already.
"This is a big city." Lulu praised.
I nodded heavily: "Lulu, don't we look too much like country bumpkins?"
"We are just country bumpkins."
"……makes sense."
The second uncle didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took us into a random restaurant and ordered three large bowls of rice and a plate of pot-wrapped pork.
Lulu and we both looked up again to see the novel decoration in this small shop, and our necks felt sore when the food was served.
The second uncle grabbed the waiter who was about to leave after serving the food, nodded and smiled: "My friend, let me ask, how much is the rent here?"
The waiter looked at the second uncle up and down and the red pockets on the soles of his feet. The clothes that the second uncle slept on on the train were all wrinkled.
He turned around and looked at Lulu and us who were devouring food. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he looked at his second uncle with a look of sympathy on his face.
"Our rent is also different. It's cheaper near the edge of the city. It's 500 for a house below the third floor and 400 for a house above the third floor."
"What about the city?"
"It's a bit more expensive in the city. It costs about 1,500 yuan for a house with less than three floors, and about 1,200 yuan for a house with more than three floors."
"Oh, thank you."
"Damn, they are all just trying to make a living." The waiter patted the second uncle on the shoulder and went to greet other customers.
Weird.
"Second uncle, I feel like he is pitying us." Lulu said as she took the rice into her mouth.
The second uncle's eyebrows twitched: "Don't you two look like you haven't had enough to eat, so people misunderstood you?"
"I've had a full meal." I took the time to look up and look back at my second uncle, "The pork in the pot is delicious."
"that is."
Lulu and we started our relationship again.
But I had big eyes and a small belly, so I felt full after just a few bites.
"Nuan Ting, if you eat so little, how will you grow up in the future?"
With Lulu's encouragement, I forced myself to take a few more bites, and Lulu ate the rest.
While Lulu was eating, the second uncle took out a piece of paper with the phone number of Grandpa Sun's cousin, borrowed a phone from the shop owner and called him, telling him our location.
After Lulu Disc let out a loud burp, the wind chime at the door of the hotel rang.
I looked over and saw a fat man in his forties, wearing a suit and with slicked-back hair, opened the door and walked in.
He stood in the middle of the door, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on us ‘country bumpkins’.
The second uncle stood up and greeted him: "Hello, I'm the landlord."
The man came over, glanced at the second uncle's hand without holding it, pulled the chair opposite and sat down diagonally: "Are you the people introduced by my cousin?"
He tilted his chin up, and I felt like he was looking at us through his nostrils, which was very annoying.
The second uncle took back his hand without any embarrassment, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Sun said that you have several houses for rent in Lianhua City. I called before."
"There used to be a few units, but now there's only one left." The landlord sneered, pointing to the gate of the community diagonally opposite the hotel, "It's in that community, on the sixth floor. If you think it's okay, I'll make it cheaper.
I’ll rent it to you for two thousand a month.”
"He's so annoying." Lulu came over and whispered in my ear, "And the uncle just said that the city only has one thousand and fifty for those below the third floor, and one thousand and two for those above the third floor. He is trying to rob us."
"That's not all." I pulled down Lulu's hand and pointed her to look at the community outside, "Look at the name of that community, it's called Baiguyuan."
"What's wrong with Baiguyuan?"
"Don't you think it sounds like the word 'House of Bones'?"
Lulu took a breath of cold air.
People in our village are not as open-minded as people in the city, and we have taboos about many things. Even Lulu and I knew this at a young age.
And although Baiguyuan is located in the center of the city, looking from a distance, there are not as many people in it as in the surrounding communities along the way.
There seems to be no one cleaning the community, the ground is covered with fallen leaves and garbage, and there are not many residents. It is very inconsistent with the lively scene outside the community, giving it a depressed look.
Anyway, I feel uncomfortable looking at it.
At this time, the second uncle slowly stretched out five fingers: "Five hundred."
