Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

Today was a rare day of good weather, and the sun outside the window was exceptionally bright. The brilliant light filtered through the glass, gently pouring into the room like a golden veil, bringing brightness and warmth.

The old sofas, tables, chairs and benches seemed to be cast under a spell, and were all coated with a layer of soft glow. They were originally ordinary, but now they looked somewhat precious.

The sounds of vehicles passing by and people talking came from outside, but after being filtered through the windows, they became blurry and distant.

These noisy sounds did not wake up the tired people, but instead were like a gentle lullaby, allowing them to sleep deeper and more soundly, enjoying the tranquility and happiness.

……

When Yinyin woke up, the whole house was empty and there was a note on the coffee table.

Yinyin rubbed her eyes and picked it up to look at it. "Cousin, I'm going out to buy some things. Chen Luojun is out to get his ID card. There's breakfast on the table. Well, it should be considered lunch! Anyway, it was bought by Chen Luojun. Don't worry, I'll bring it back tonight!"

Signed "Julie!"

Putting down the note, Yinyin walked to the dining table. There were quite a few kinds of food, including fried dough sticks, soy milk, steamed buns, dumplings, and eggs.

I felt the temperature and it was cold. It seemed that she slept too deeply and didn't even know when her cousin and the others went out.

Fortunately, both of them were good people and had no bad intentions towards her.

Otherwise, with her sleeping posture that wouldn't wake her up even when struck by thunder, she wouldn't even know she was sold!

After going to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, Yinyin returned to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Her stomach ached from hunger, so she quickly stuffed a big mouthful of fried dough sticks into her mouth.

If you choke, drink soy milk to soothe it.

I peeled another tea egg and ate it with the buns, enjoying it very much.

In a short while, two fried dough sticks, a meat bun, two tea eggs and a cup of soy milk were eaten.

Touching her bulging belly, she breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, Yinyin began to pack the bags she brought with her.

A pair of silver bracelets were given to her by her grandparents when she was born. She was the only girl in the family, and her grandparents were not like other families who favored boys over girls. They had always been very kind to her.

Unfortunately, when she was ten years old, the old couple went up the mountain to look for food and encountered a wild boar...

When the villagers arrived, the two old men were already dead.

If her grandparents were still alive, maybe she wouldn't have been sold by her family!

Alas, it’s hard to say!

After all, my parents used to love me that way.

Yinyin put the silver bracelet away and took out a jade bracelet.

This was the dowry from Yinyin's mother, which was secretly given to her when she was sixteen years old.

I have three sons and three daughters-in-law. How do I divide the bracelet?

Either you have three daughters-in-law, or you have none!

She wanted to, but she didn't have the ability to get two more.

I only have one daughter, so I might as well give it to her!

Thus, this transparent and smooth jade bracelet came into Yinyin's hands.

Yinyin raised the bracelet, looked at it in the sunlight, sighed, and put it away.

There were other small valuable items scattered in the bundle, including the silver safety lock given to her by her grandmother, and the silver hairpins and jade buttons that her brothers had bought in the county town...

In addition to these, there are two sets of clothes for changing.

After looking through the things one by one, Yinyin felt a little upset and uncomfortable.

Things happened too fast and she was so determined to run away that she had no time to feel sad.

At this moment, I am alone, loneliness and solitude are enveloping my whole body, and tears can't stop flowing.

Why? It’s not like we’re struggling to make ends meet at home!

The family was clearly living in harmony and happiness, and things seemed to be getting better and better, but...

Tears fell, and her vision became blurred. She wiped her eyes with her hands, but she couldn't wipe them clean.

The door was pushed open, and a figure walked in and stood in front of Yinyin.

"Oh, little cousin, I thought you were so strong!" Li Chunmei sighed and stuffed the tissue box on the table into Yinyin's arms. "Don't be sad. They abandoned us, and we don't want them either!"

"Then, then you still send money back every year?" Yin Yin sobbed and wiped away her tears with a tissue.

"You know it's only once a year," Li Chunmei said nonchalantly. "I was eighteen when I came out, so I'll be sent there for eighteen years too."

"I'll pay off the child support and never talk to them again!"

Her eyes were cold. What were relatives? Was money important?

After hearing Li Chunmei's words, Yin Yin fell silent and stopped crying. "How much did you send?"

"One thousand a year, ten years later, ten thousand!"

"I'm seventeen years old and will soon be eighteen. I will also pay for eighteen years of upbringing!" Yin Yin made up his mind.

After the eighteen years of raising me have been settled, there is no relationship anymore!

"Good sister!" Li Chunmei patted Yin Yin's shoulder. "As women, we should be able to take it or leave it. We shouldn't always be immersed in the impossible."

Yinyin nodded and thought that her cousin was a really nice person.

"Look what I bought?" Li Chunmei took out the bag she brought back and showed it to Yinyin.

"What?" Yinyin's eyes were red and swollen, like a red-eyed rabbit.

The nose and lips are all red, which makes people love her!

"I bought them all for you!"

Li Chunmei's voice softened a few degrees. She never thought of herself as a person who only cared about appearances before, right?

Maybe it’s because my face isn’t pretty enough!

Li Chunmei took out a dress, a pure white sleeveless long dress, "Isn't it beautiful? The moment I saw it, I thought it suits you very well."

Next, there were long and short skirts in red, yellow, and blue, as well as two knitted jackets.

In addition to the clothes, there were two pairs of small leather shoes with low heels, one white and one black.

“Classic black and white, goes with everything!”

There are also other small things scattered around, such as hairpins, hair ropes, and hair ties...

Yinyin looked at the sofa full of her things and felt very grateful to her cousin.

"Thank you, cousin, you are so kind!"

"Just know that I'm fine!" Li Chunmei smiled and nodded, "Listen to your cousin. She won't hurt you."

"Yeah," Yin Yin nodded vigorously, "Cousin, I will be obedient."

"Be good!" He patted the cute little cousin's furry head lovingly, "I'll take you out for a delicious meal tonight."

"Great!" Yin Yin was delighted, and then said, "Where's Brother Luo Jun? When will he be back? Let's wait for him together."

Li Chunmei checked the time on her watch. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. "It should be soon. I'm just looking up the records. I can't get the ID card right away. At most, I'll get a temporary ID card first!"

Yin Yin said "hmm", "I hope everything goes well for Brother Luo Jun!"

"Don't worry, he's a grown man, no one will bully him." Li Chunmei said, yawning, "Little cousin, you can watch TV. I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while. I have to go to work tonight."

"Okay, cousin, you should go and have some rest!" Yinyin signaled her cousin not to worry about her.

Li Chunmei yawned, and then yawned several times in a row, and tears were about to come out.

"No, no, I have to go to bed. Otherwise, I will be scolded by the manager if I have no energy at night."

It’s okay to scold me, but I’m afraid the manager will deduct my salary.

After being promoted to foreman, Li Chunmei's salary increased a little, mainly from commission. Since the customers are generous, they can also earn more.

The most important thing for hanging out in entertainment venues is to be tactful and know who you can’t afford to offend.
