I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 378: Old Sayings

"Your grandma..."

Bai Fengrui pondered and nodded.

"I'm not feeling well, but it seems to be because of the birth of me. I caught a cold during the confinement period."

She sighed.

"Actually...your grandpa, your grandma, and your uncle, the three of them are a family made in heaven. Sometimes I feel like I'm not their biological child, if it weren't for the fact that I look like them."

Bai Fengrui shook her head with an indescribable expression.

"Your grandpa, as we say now, is a literary youth. He is a poet. His poems were often published in newspapers. I still have them at home. I can find them for you when I get home."

"He also writes articles and has published books. Your grandma likes his talent. Your grandma likes music, especially her voice. She sings beautifully. She was an artist for a while and even released records, but she wasn't popular. And your grandma's heart wasn't in her work."

Xu Shengsheng said "oh" and showed the same expression as her mother, which was the expression that a person with no artistic talent would show after hearing about the talent of an artist.

"Anyway, your grandma and grandpa are made for each other in the eyes of outsiders. They really do recite poems, compose fu, play the piano and sing songs every day. Outsiders generally can't understand that. For example, your mother doesn't understand it."

Bai Fengrui had a complicated expression.

"In fact, my family was well-off when I was a child. You can see that your grandma and grandpa were in this business, but it gradually became less so."

"Your uncle, influenced by them, is quite talented in music and poetry, and is quite interested in it. His personality is not as sensitive as your grandma, but he is indeed more sentimental than your grandpa."

"You're talking about a grown man... I'm not saying that such people are bad, but anyway, I can't appreciate this kind of person. You don't know how miserable I was before I met your father."

Bai Fengrui feels deeply distressed when she thinks about it now.

"I don't know why. I have never liked these things since I was a child. I like jumping up and down, climbing trees and fishing. I like playing mahjong. I have liked playing mahjong since I was a child. I can't walk when I see others playing mahjong... It's also strange. Sometimes I wonder if I was a mahjong spirit in my previous life?"

Xu Shengsheng: “…”

Xu Kangming: “…”

Bai Fengrui shook her head with emotion.

They had already arrived home while they were talking. Bai Fengrui continued to sigh as she entered the house.

"Really, I really like playing mahjong, and I'm really good at it. I'm unbeatable. When I was young, I even participated in a mahjong competition and won first prize! I was even awarded a medal, the King of Mahjong!"

As she spoke, Bai Fengrui took out the medal from the drawer of the cabinet.

It was a bronze medal, and it looked very well maintained, with a bright yellow color.

Xu Shengsheng touched it and found that it had good texture and was heavy.

"Okay, Mom. That's great!" Xu Shengsheng gave a thumbs up.

Bai Fengrui smiled proudly.

"That is!"

"But... most people think that my hobby is not a proper job, but your grandma and grandpa are quite open-minded and tolerant. Although they don't know how to play, they will play with me when I want to play. But it's boring to play with people like them who don't know how to play."

"So I guess it's not interesting for people like me to talk about poetry and prose, because I fall asleep when I hear them since I was a kid."

Bai Fengrui kept shaking her head.

"And my grades weren't good either, so I dropped out after high school. At the time, your grandma arranged blind dates for me, and the people they met were all from families of calligraphy, painting, and music..."

"I tell you, that's when I started to hate these artists. I really couldn't stand it. You say it's just a flower, and a flower is a flower. No matter how much you praise it, it's still a flower."

Xu Shengsheng nodded.

"Then they will definitely feel that talking to you is like talking to a cow." "Yes!" Bai Fengrui rolled her eyes, "At that time, a blind date guy said something to me, saying that I was like a cow chewing on a peony? That's the phrase, right?"

"Yes, it means that one does not know how to appreciate and has no proper etiquette for beautiful things."

Bai Fengrui hissed and told herself that her daughter had just been discharged from the hospital and she couldn't hit her.

"It's not like I don't know what this means, you don't need to explain it to me!!"

Xu Shengsheng stuck out her tongue.

"I just don't understand these things, what's wrong? I just can't appreciate it. I really don't understand. Just drink tea, why are there so many steps? They all taste the same to me. I can't tell the taste."

"Well, how did you get to know my dad?" Xu Shengsheng asked curiously.

"It's a coincidence. Everything is destined by fate. I was on a blind date with a guy that day, and your dad was also on a blind date with a girl. At that time, there was a small scenic spot in the suburbs with many peach blossoms planted, so we went to see the peach blossoms."

"As for flowers, they are indeed beautiful, but I really can't write any poems. The man next to me is writing poems, and your father's blind date seems to like books as well. He is also talking about stories related to peach blossoms."

"What a coincidence, your father and I said the same thing at that time."

"What?" Xu Shengsheng's eyes lit up.

"I said, I don't care about peach and pear blossoms. I'd rather buy some green onions, which are edible and beautiful. You can't even pick peach blossoms at this scenic spot."

"Your father just said something similar, and we happened to be looking at a tree at the time, and we stared at each other through the tree..."

Bai Fengrui looked at Xu Kangming with emotion on her face.

"At that moment I knew that we were in love."

Xu Shengsheng: "Why not love at first sight?"

"You know nothing! Love at first sight is not enough to describe how your father and I felt at that time."

Xu Kangming said with a smile: "Indeed, it feels like two uneducated people confronting each other."

"Go! What do you mean by uncultured? It's just that people without artistic talent are fighting against each other."

"Yes, yes, that's enough, don't tell her about this, let her go to sleep, you have been frightened for so long."

Bai Fengrui then looked at Xu Shengsheng and said, "Okay, go and have a rest. See what message your sister sent you. If there is anything, talk to her more. Your sister is thoughtful and thinks a lot. She is a cautious person, but you have a carefree personality. You should be more careful with your words sometimes. Don't offend your sister with a single word, and you don't even know it."

"My sister is not such a stingy person!" Xu Shengsheng was unconvinced.

"Your sister is certainly not mean, but she will feel bad and take it to heart. I don't know how your uncle and his family took care of her. She was raised to be so sensitive as a little girl."

Bai Fengrui kept shaking her head.

"Your health is not good to begin with. It's strange that you can get better if you think about so many things every day. Your father and I really don't dare to say anything more. You should pay more attention to your sister, especially now that she has moved out."

Xu Shengsheng nodded, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of my sister!"

Bai Fengrui wanted to retort to her, but she held back.

"Okay, go and have a rest. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable. Do you want to eat anything else tomorrow besides sea bass?"

"I want to eat ice jelly."

It's a hot day, I want to eat something cool.

"You just got out of the hospital, so you're not allowed to eat. Okay, I see there's nothing you want to eat, so go back to sleep!" Bai Fengrui rejected mercilessly.
