Polls were so damn difficult last time so here's another one with some duos because they're just inseparable that way

[orcaog]

Hi, I’m Ellie, I’m Australian, and I’m qualified to give slightly obscure Australian Mountain Ghoul Headcanons

⋆ He was in the red house at school but despised it and wanted to be in the green house because it was his favourite colour.

⋆ Spent hours in the Bunnings plant section just wandering around. Would immediately run the other way when the sprinkler system/hose would get anywhere near him.

⋆ Can’t for the life of him do the Nutbush. Is sufficient at other common school formal/party dances like the Macarena.

⋆ Hates to watch Footy, likes to play Footy. Same thing for Cricket. (He is also slammed for not following a Footy team, so he lies and tells people he goes for whoever is currently winning).

⋆ The guy who stands beside the barbecue with one hand in his weird khaki cargo shorts and tongs in one hand at family gatherings during the summer cooking the sausages. Bonus points if the event is Christmas, Boxing Day, Australia Day. More points if there’s at least four children who may or may not be related to him running around and occasionally running up to him to ask if the food is done.

⋆ Weird patterned shirts and thongs at the beach kinda guy. Stands there with a drink of some kind until begged to come into the water (he will dramatically sigh, say “Ah well, if I must” then come in. He loves going in the water but needs the validation that comes from being asked to go in).

⋆ Says the following things ironically: crikey, tell him he’s dreaming, she’ll be right, good on ya mate.

⋆ Leaves baskets of lemons from his very successful tree on the front lawn for people to take for free (he has too many).

⋆ A big fan of Tim tams. Loves meat pies from some local corner store. Makes pavlovas with berries from his own garden.

⋆ Probably lives out woop woop nowhere, on some fun farm in the hills. Has lots of cows. A goat. Sheep. A random cat that showed up one day and became the farm cat because he fed it.

That’s all. Let me know if you need clarification on things. Have a great day :)

Reviews (summaries) of a few of the drama adaptations for [Legend of the Condor Heroes]/ 「射鵰英雄傳」 from the last three decades:

*Drama posters are from oldest to latest (from left to right, top to bottom)

1983 version (starring Barbara Yung and Felix Wong):

Too young to remember and never rewatched. A feted classic from Hong Kong TVB’s heyday. The only thing I will unequivocally say I love about this version is the iconic theme songs, which are the only musical tracks I can easily recall and identify when it comes to the numerous adaptations.

1994 version (starring Athena Chu and Julian Cheung):

First love. Good performances. Beautiful and ultra-cute JingRong. Favourite balance of visuals for JingRong. Solid production (HK TVB). Newish classic. Faithful to the main storylines. The version which made me fall for Guo Jing and the saga. Sometimes, however, first love only goes so far.

2003 version (starring Zhou Xun and Li Ya Peng):

Gritty. Jiang Hu. Sweeping epic. Mature vibes. Tragic and heartbreak-tinged. Faithful to the main storylines. Brilliant JingRong. Elegantly cultured Huang Rong. Earnestly chivalrous Guo Jing. Love both the portrayals of Guo Jing and Huang Rong (despite the many criticisms received). Loved the veteran gravitas of many of the supporting casts. Performances were fabulous. My only gripe is with Yang Kang (and his actor, Zhou Jie, whose performance I was not especially partial to, but he did okay though). The best Mongolian segment(s) out of all adaptations. Favourite drama adaptation (to date). The main and ending theme songs are fantastic, and the opening track has quite an epic saga feel.

(Some audience disliked ZX’s portrayal, and criticisms abound about her using her own voice during the show - which is a bit husky - but I had absolutely no issues with it. I thought the criticisms weirdly petty, actually. As someone who does not find dubs at all nice, I appreciated her using her own voice/dub for the series. LYP also received his fair share of criticisms for his portrayal. Personally, I enjoyed both tremendously).

2008 version (starring Ariel Lin and Hu Ge):

An adaptation I skipped as neither mains appealed to me, and Liu Shi Shi as Mu Nian Ci was not enough of a draw to make me trudge through an adaption I read was not particularly faithful to the novels. Visuals and vibes wise, I just could not see Hu Ge as Guo Jing - which is simply a personal preference - but I do not doubt that his performance/portrayal would have been fine. That goes for the rest of the cast and their performances.

2017 version (starring Li Yi Tong and Yang Xu Wen):

Pretty. Vibrant aesthetics. Wuxia vibes. Relatively youthful. Commendable production. Sweet, lovey-dovey and affectionate JingRong. Cutie - and handsome - Guo Jing. Excellent Huang Rong. Faithful to the main storylines. Highly enjoyable. Main instrumental track a clever nolstagic callback to the classic Hong Kong songs/themes. Good production. Superb performances overall.

(I found this version’s GJ a bit too prettily handsome, which is lovely but also felt a bit not-GJ. Still enjoyed his portrayal a lot though).

2024 version (starring Bao Shang En and Ci Sha):

Strong Wuxia vibes. Solid aesthetics and production. Youthful. Squee-worthy JingRong. Adorably devious Huang Rong. Favourite Guo Jing and JingRong (to date). Wonderful performances all around. Faithful to the main storylines. Some distinct emotional beats.

Especially noteworthy was the beautifully shot and conveyed scenes from near the end during GJ’s mental and spiritual struggles with his grief and martial abilities. Superbly done and went to the heart of the novel’s themes.

Flaws included pacing and issues with storylines length. Uneven focus. Lack of epic-ness.

(Ci Sha is not really my cup-of-tea visuals wise but he looked and felt like what Guo Jing *should* be and his performance was compelling and layered. His portrayal embodied the 靖 of 郭靖, and I think that meant something significant. He truly came into his own by the last third when the confidence and composure GJ cultivated throughout the series made his nuanced portrayal fangirl-scream worthy. *fainting away* Love his steady, gentle and devoted GJ to bits. The focus and complexity they afforded Yang Kang in this version made him a much more complex and conflicted antagonist, which was fascinating. This Wanyan Hong Lie inspired major feelings for a character I already found especially interesting and tragi-complex since the 2003 adaptation. The soft-spot I have for him is too real).

What is your opinion on Mansuang?

hello nonnie! hope you're doing well 💚

to answer your question, i really liked mansuang!

i've only watched it once till now (at a discord watch party) so i'll be able to fully appreciate it when i watch it again several times hehhehehehe (real life has been very hectic sigh)

it was tong who stole the show for me...his acting is BRILLIANT and he looks exquisite and OWNS every scene he's in...from the eccentric tankhun in kpts to the poised hong in mansuang i'm in AWE of tong's range....the way hong (tong;s character in the film) navigates the politics, the mystery and the lies around him...and comes into his own being in the film is noteworthy

apo's character khem JUST CANNOT CATCH A BREAK OMG POOR BABY....i think khem easily would have the maximum screentime in the film (but don't quote me on that lol) and it's through khem's life and challenges and exploitation that we get to understand the socio-political climate of that era in thailand so he IS the carrier of the film's plot and what the film on the whole tried to achieve (present the thai culture of that period to the rest of the world through an intriguing plot and really fucking pretty clothes and people)....apo in those dance costumes and make-up is a SIGHT TO BEHOLD....man they did not cut corners in that department lol...it's apo's film...there's no doubt about it

as a mile enthusiast i was a little disappointed coz i felt that there's not enough of my man in the film lol...and whenever he is onscreen, he's generally sharing the space with others...and in a way where he is not the centre of attention...but otherwise i loved his character and his acting...tbh i was VERY impressed with mile in kpts so i was hoping he could show more of his acting prowess here too (which would have required more screentime for him)...however i understand that 1. this is a film, not a series 2. mile is not playing the main character and 3. the fact that he doesn't draw attention to himself too much IS part of good acting in this case heheheehee

bas was great! his character's trauma and his portrayal of that is commendable...sad about the ending though...but i understand his motivations and that he was processing the current ongoing through the lens of his personal trauma so he was bound to make some decisions (tm) which led to the outcome....bas as wan was truly a revelation

special shoutout to all the baddies in the film....they were truly despicable....great job

so ya...overall a good rating from me for mansuang!

[minsarasarahair]

You Yao donghua actually treat the characters more kinder and respect their wishes hence why I do think most characters get their happy ending. If its not happy. Its more hopeful than the novel version. The novel is sadistic and depressing.

Lou Zhu

Novel: Lou Zhu is a scheming two-faced hedonist antihero but secretly has conscience somehow. In the novel, only ZYQ know about Lou Zhu's 8th floor (secret basement). At the end of the main story, he stated that he will meet ZYQ again in the future and it ended with them parting ways. After the mainstory's war. LZ who become more rich focus in sealing singularity and eliminating Tuo Huang remnants but can't fix that transmigrator soul replacing problem. In the extra, he mentioned that he want to visit Pangmen one day to visit ZYQ but the novel equivalent of Pangmen is like Tian Ya Ke's ghost valley so going there is dangerous so he can't do it because of his current situation. ZYQ also don't want to endanger Lou Zhu's life for him so they are stuck in long distance relationship. In that reunion extra, they reunited because LZ asked for a poison's antidote from ZYQ. As the leader of Pangmen, he's knowledgeable with different types of poison.

Donghua: He reunited with ZYQ after years of being separated similar to novel extra but situation are different. He finally visit the peaceful version of Pangmen and probably considering it as his retirement home because of the beautiful mountains and clear water around it that fits his ideal home requirement. LZ will probably consult ZYQ for a medicine because ZYQ became a nutritionist. LZ probably suppress the transmigrator soul replacing problem information from others to avoid chaos but he gave them a choice to try the singularity to return home because in the novel, Long Daxia is the one who tell them about it. In the donghua, the people present when Jiao Jiaoran revealed that are Tuo Huang transmigrators, Lou Zhu, Lin Kai, and Long Daxia.

Zuo Yunqi

Novel: He's more like a tenant of Best Tower and Lou Zhu's errand boy in the novel. He's a prideful stubborn guy who prefer the role to be the one who earn money and protect Lou Zhu. The reason why he's separated from Lou Zhu is he want to be in equal grounds with Lou Zhu. He don't like the idea of Lou Zhu protecting him. Protecting LZ is his way of courting him. If he didn't became a leader of Pangmen sect, he has no way of helping Lou Zhu because not only his body is too weak after almost dying but he can't cultivate his martial arts anymore. He will definitely become useless if he stayed by Lou Zhu's side.

Donghua: ZYQ experienced becoming Lou Zhu's bodyguard as his temporary job while staying in Best Tower and eventually became a successful healthy business man/nutritionist so they are now in equal grounds. The ending gives you a hopeful feeling that they will definitely be together because ZYQ's conditions in the novel are all fulfilled.

Li Ke & Zhou Rongqi (Angst ending)

Novel: Both Li Ke and Zhou Rongqi experienced living their life alone after their loved one died. In the novel, Li Ke killed himself first in their first arc so Zhou Rongqi did experienced surviving alone. In the end, Li Ke travelled around Da Liang while knowing that the Chunfeng ci bi dagger he carried has Prince Yu's soul in it after Tao Zhongchi mentioned it. He wish to meet Prince Yu again in his next life.

Donghua: ZYQ told Li Ke that the dagger possibly has Prince Yu's soul so Li Ke was overjoyed knowing that Prince Yu is not gone gone and tried to find a way to reunite with Prince Yu. He entered a singularity with the dagger to transmigrate together. If you have read the reverse isekai au extra, its really possible that they manage to meet again in 21st century and live happily. Its a hopeful ending. Watch Cheng He Ti Tong (How Dare You) donghua episode 1, they really transmigrated to 21st century!!!

Lin Kai & Tao Zhongchi

Novel: Lin Kai and Tao Zhongchi's connection in work terms was mentioned but didn't dive deeper about it. Lin Kai didn't even tried to save Tao Zhongchi by himself when she was kidnapped. He sent Xie Liang to save her. So Lin Kai suddenly asking Tao Zhongchi if she's fine to be his wife in the ending look like it came out of nowhere. Tao Zhongchi rejected him and then replied to him honestly that she's not interested for now but she might consider it in the future.

Donghua: The donghua build their romance well. It showed Lin Kai being saved by her, falling in love with her, getting rejected by her, respecting the girl's career-oriented mindset, saving her in time of trouble and finally getting the yes from Tao Zhongchi. They are a very cute straight pair.

Tan Qinghuan

Novel: Wulin alliance treat her more harshly. Lou Zhu not only lies he has amnesia and pretend he's the guy Tan Qinghuan looking for. He also don't take seriously his promise to Tan Qinghuan that he will make sure if he ever found her loved one, that person will live in a peaceful world. Novel version of Da Liang is not peaceful at all after the ending lol Its a very twisted world.

Donghua: Everyone in Wulin alliance tried to talk with her and genuinely listen to her sad ABC story. Lou Zhu treated him more kindly like a friend and promised sincerely that he will try his best to make a peaceful place for everyone like Tan Qinghuan's special someone. She's thankful that Lou Zhu is a good person. Then they buried her. Da Liang is more peaceful in the donghua.

Lin Kai's friendship

Novel: Lou Zhu and Lin Kai is an insufferable scheming duo who love playing as neutral bystanders. Lou Zhu and Long Daxia is in bad terms who often see being sarcastic to each other. Lou Zhu mock Long Daxia's recklessness while Long Daxia mock his cowardice. Somehow Lin Kai is more ambitious with hidden agenda and don't like it whenever Lou Zhu show conscience in the novel.

Donghua: Donghua explore more the healthy friendship of Lin Kai with Long Daxia and Lou Zhu. Despite their differences, Long Daxia and Lou Zhu have decent relationship. Lin Kai is a good friend and likable character.

Zhou Jingyi, the emperor

Novel: He's straight up a bad person who blame transmigrators once bad things happened and mistreated Prince Yu's family. His son is a bad child who also want to kill.

Donghua: Still a bad person but his insecurities and anxiety was showed in the beginning. Then gradually lose his trust to transmigrators thanks to Jiao Jiaoran's wrongdoings. He's not downright evil and even entrusted his crown prince to Xiao Xue to teach his son about transmigrators' knowledge. He didn't killed her. It resulted the crown prince developing a good mindset with who don't want to hurt people under Xiao Xue's teachings.

Zuo Dao

Novel: ZYQ threatened his dad Zuo Dao to give him the Liruo so that he can manipulate the transmigrators to not leave and fix Lou Zhu's problem. Leaving him with no choice, ZYQ gave him a poison that killed him resulting ZYQ somehow becoming the next Zuo Dao that can't run away from using poison to survive in Jianghu. Zuo Dao tell ZYQ that ZYQ will never escape his fate to become a bad person similar to his dad in his last breath so ZYQ starts to doubt himself if he can actually became a good person. Sadly, ZYQ really do evil actions in extra and no longer consider himself as good person.

Donghua: ZYQ tried to find a better alternative medicine to cure his dad but failed. ZYQ told him though that he don't want to be like his father sincerely and will definitely show him that genuine goodness exist in this world. Zuo Dao has more peaceful death and gives his son a good luck to whatever he want to achieve.

Xiao Xue

Novel: She barely have a role in the story and disappeared after the first arc. Lou Zhu originally has two main maids in the novel, Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu.

Donghua: Alive and she became a hostage to teach the crown prince about transmigrators' knowledge. Later, she became the new emperor's trusted advisor just like what the former emperor wanted.

Charlie Norman and the Miss who own the pastry shop

Novel: Long Daxia and Qian Zhenduo kinda used Charlie to get info about Jiao Jiaoran and the factory. The Miss was mentioned possibly being interested to the foreigner secretly but when Charlie was asked if he's going to marry. He said no because he's going to leave to find his homeland. In the Fuyang incident, she embraced someone's dead body in the same spot where Charlie lose consciousness and then got hit by explosion. She gave him the armor she's wearing so Charlie can survive. She died and Charlie manage to survive alone but lose his hearing. He didn't know who gave him the armor. Nevertheless, he continue searching for his homeland if it exist in this new world.

Donghua: Charlie is the one interested in her and tried to propose to her many times. They both died together while embracing each other in the middle of Fuyang massacre after the Miss accepted Charlie's Marry Me if she will come to him find his homeland together. At least they are together lol and Charlie returned her feelings? They both like each other! Well, the home concept in You Yao is you can find your home in someone and not a place so Charlie finding his homeland came true as he fall in love with the Miss. In the ending, Long Daxia and Qian Zhenduo formed a genuine friendship with Charlie so they rode a ship to try to find their dead friend's homeland.

Xie Liang & Fan Aiguo

Novel: In the final arc, Fan Aiguo and Xie Liang actually saved Long Daxia before he fell to where Jiao Jiaoran fell into like true noble heroes. Before that, they also tried to save Lou Zhu when emperor tried to kill him but they are used as scapegoats. Lou Zhu also ordered Fan Aiguo to plagiarize a story and Xie Liang is the one who saved Tao Zhongchi. In the ending, Fan Aiguo decided to stay in this world to explore more being a writer so Xie Liang invited him to his Xiaoxiang villa to stay there.

Donghua: Sadly, they didn't saved any important characters but they do help in simple matters like making sure Tuo Huang members will not fall to their death, the delivery men for the weapons and they are the one who breaks free the snake to destroy Lou Zhu's best tower. Xie Liang has confirmation too from Fan Aiguo that he will also not leave their world.

Long Daxia & Qian Zhenduo

Novel: Travelling couple LongQian is already together way before the Fuyang incident. They met earlier. Long Daxia actually love earning money for Xiao Qian as his love language so Xiao Qian will stop swindling anyone to earn and survive. In the novel, they don't have designated places to go while travelling because their home was destroyed already as result of the war. The public misunderstood their relationship as just master-disciple who live in seclusion somewhere.

Donghua: LongQian met later. In the donghua, they travelled together because Long Daxia wish to see the world from ordinary person's perspective through Xiao Qian's eyes and to try their luck searching for Charlie's homeland as tribute for their deceased friends.

Jiao Jiaoran

Novel: Straight up crazy bad person raised in bad environment who's also one of the leaders of a syndicate and interested in studying Singularities. She actually watched when Lou Zhu was hit by a car and died in his first life. She assumed she killed him because she predicted that there's a singularity to where Lou Zhu died.

Donghua: Her origin story is never revealed. Still a bad person but her motive is different. The reason why she's against the natives is because of discrimination and she look down on them because of her advanced modern knowledge unlike Lou Zhu who tried to bridge the gap between natives and transmigrators. She only met Lou Zhu in the donghua but they are aware of each other's existence in the novel.

booking you for 3, 16, 17, and 25

3. What were your top five books of the year?

I'm bad at favorites in general, and this year I read a lot of books that I very much enjoyed but wouldn’t quite say I loved. But I will say, in different ways and for different reasons: Land of Milk and Honey by C. Pam Zhang, The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li, Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman, Dry Land by Ruby Rae Spiegel, and Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/Mo Dao Zu Shi by Mo Xiang Tong Xu. (I don't know if any particular volume was a favorite book of the year, but the story overall is absolutely one of my favorite things I experienced this year.) Now I'm gonna move on to the next question before I can continue second guessing this answer...

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

Not sure if it counts as being overhyped, but I didn’t enjoy Greedy by Jen Winston as much as I was led to believe I would by some enthusiastic people on the internet. Probably the most hyped books I've read recently, in general, would be The Hunger Games series, and I had a great time reading them but maybe not quite as good of a time as their popularity would suggest.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson is not a genre I read much of (YA thriller-y drama), but it kept me absolutely riveted throughout. 

25. What reading goals do you have for next year?

There were a few things I started reading this year and then put aside because I wasn’t quite in the right mood for them, including but not limited to The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang, She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan, and Little Foxes Took Up Matches by Katya Kazbek. I’m still very excited about these books and would love to read them next year! I hope to finish the book/series I am currently reading (the Lymond books…). In general I would love to read the many books I already own but have not yet read! Maybe my goal should be to read books at a faster rate than I acquire new ones...

[brionysea]

watching netflix avatar, for some reason. here are my thoughts

the genocide of the air nomads scene simply shouldn't exist

that is not katara

sokka is initially unlikable. good job!

sokka being so dismissive of katara is still sexist, they're just not calling it that anymore

the southern air temple prologue really lessens the impact of aang being gone for 100 years. it was like 5 minutes ago in screen time

"sky bison. SKY! BISON!!!!" "repeating it doesn't help"

zuko's obsession with the throne is weird. and why is he telling his uncle about his 3 year quest to find the avatar?? iroh KNOWS. he was THERE

someone should've fixed all this exposition pretending to be dialogue. the script needs like 5 more rounds of editing

zuko was never this evil

iroh talking to aang is good. very cryptic. never saying what his own views are, only explaining the new world to aang

suki <3 she's so weird <3

"i'm not just a warrior, i'm a kyoshi warrior" this is the only time this version's obsession with warriors has worked for me. is aang even a pacifist here? i'm concerned

stop yelling at aang for "running away from his responsibilities" he literally didn't do that

where is zuko's honour? not only is he not yelling about it every five minutes, but they're failing to demonstrate that he HAS it, despite what his father would have him believe

the CGI is stunning, especially with the landscapes

i say again: IS AANG EVEN A PACIFIST???? no one else is acting like it, and he's not correcting them. please tell me this isn't gonna be the edgy grimdark version where he kills the firelord at the end instead of keeping his people's culture alive

i like what they're doing with sokka's insecurities

aang and zuko's dynamic is very good

"oh no! there's a huge mountain in the way of rescuing aang!" somewhere in the earth kingdom, toph is laughing

bumi :)

bumi :(

"SAYS THE GIRL WHO FELL FOR A TERRORIST" are we sure sokka isn't a firebender?

this random earth kingdom soldier smacking iroh around for being a war criminal feels more real than any of the main characters

lu ten's funeral???? oh my god

wan shi tong more like what the hell are you doing here

"do you always make jokes when you don't wanna talk about something?" "what? that's not what i do" liar. a lying liar who lies. and his name rhymes with okka

heartwarming aang & gyatso reunion scene (REAL) (NOT CLICKBAIT)

"zuko's so disrespectful to his crew!" cut to aang being the most polite young man in existence

"you shouldn't try to move" *immediately tries to move* have i mentioned that the aang and zuko dynamic is VERY good?

steals your notebook and then earnestly says that you have neat handwriting. nice to see you here, aang. where ya been?

"i'm sorry! i didn't mean to hurt you. i have a feeling you've been hurt more than enough" :(

agni kai changes... bad

"more adult than the original" except they can't handle zuko's scar and say his vision COMPLETELY recovers from that burn. embarrassing

azula is being....... very open

suki and yue aren't just underdeveloped sokka-love-interests here, which is nice. but what is that WIG

"the plan is to reclaim what's rightfully mine!" "so no plan?" "i'm working on it, uncle :("

azula would never say no to her father

wow it's almost like katara fought for the right to be TAUGHT so that after the time jump, you could assume the women of the NWT had received some combat training, instead of just throwing them at the fire nation with no experience, at which point they will immediately be slaughtered

seriously, why is this version so obsessed with warriors? i get that it's war but the main character is a PACIFIST MONK

saving the "katara declares the gaang as found family" moment for the end of the season does flow better than three episodes in. that's always seemed a bit rushed to me

how the hell did they make yue's death about her grieving father comforting SOKKA????

the only time anyone has a point about aang being irresponsible is how he just... decided not to learn waterbending. and it seems like he's finally gotten over that! so everyone better shut up about it from now on because there's no other basis for that so-called "character flaw"

why was azula even here?

verdict: not enough appa

BFEL70 - Extra 4

Tangtang y Dahai (4) El aniversario de boda de He Songbai y Zhao Lanxiang es en pleno invierno. En aquella época, el "Xiangbai" de He Songbai seguía arraigado en el norte, y no había tenido tiempo de trasladarlo al sur. Cuando Tang Tang y Dahai aún estaban en pañales, He Songbai comenzó sus días de correteos. Zhao Lanxiang sentía a menudo que había trabajado demasiado toda su vida. Por muy pobre que fuera antes, su situación era mejor hoy. Estaba muy afligida y le pidió a Li Zhong, de la Ciudad B, que cuidara de él. Cuando los esposos regresaron a la Ciudad G, llegó también la orden de traslado de Gu Shuoming. Fue trasladado a la Región Militar B de la capital. Antes de partir, Gu Shuoming llevó deliberadamente a su esposa e hijos a casa de la familia He como invitados. Su esposa es una chica norteña brillante llamada Mingxue. Su piel es clara y limpia, y es muy alta. Su personalidad es entusiasta y generosa. Es médico militar en el departamento militar. En 1979, Gu Shuoming escuchó la opinión de Zhao Lanxiang y fue a la guerra sino-vietnamita. Obtuvo sólidos logros en el campo de batalla. Aunque se encontró con muchos contratiempos en el camino, las tropas regresaron con honor. Además de su glorioso regreso de aquel año, también trajo a casa a una muchacha norteña pura. A la señora Gu siempre le disgustó que su hijo no fuera lo suficientemente bueno en el romance, y pensó que estaría soltero de por vida. Como resultado, salió, no sólo resolvió los grandes acontecimientos de su vida, sino que incluso tuvieron un hijo. Desde entonces, la señora Gu ya no tiene que susurrar insatisfecha. Zhao Lanxiang preguntó cómo se conocieron, y Mingxue dijo con una sonrisa: "Soy la doctora de su séquito. Normalmente parece muy estable, pero estuvo a punto de morir en el campo de batalla. Las vendas que le traje no fueron suficientes. Cuando terminamos toda la comida, Shuo Ming y yo pensamos que quizá no viviríamos lo suficiente para ver el mañana. Así que la noche anterior a la última batalla, nos casamos bajo el testimonio de varios jefes". Madam Gu consiguió una nuera de la nada, y estaba sorprendida pero feliz. Unos meses después, su nieto, Tiedan, cayó al suelo, y Madam Gu lloró de alegría. Tiedan fue concebido en el campo de batalla. Las llamas de la guerra no lo vencieron. La grave escasez de alimentos y de suministros no lo derribaron. Mingxue tuvo una vez signos de aborto, pero sobrevivió bien. Cuando nació, pesaba menos de dos kilos y medio, y su respiración era tan débil que la gente pensaba que se iría en cualquier momento. Pero Tiedan sobrevivió tenazmente. Para mantenerlo sano y conmemorar a sus camaradas de armas, Gu Shuoming le dio el apodo de "Huevo de Hierro". Mingxue y Madam Gu retuvieron a Tiedan todo el día y no lo soltaron. Gu Shuoming temía que el clima septentrional de la Ciudad B fuera demasiado frío, y ni siquiera se atrevió a llevar a su hijo enfermo al norte. El día anterior a la marcha de Gu Shuoming, Tong Mingxue llegó a casa de la familia He como invitada. En aquel momento, Tiedan tenía tres años. Su manita enganchaba la de su madre, sentada en el sofá de la familia He. Cuando estaba comiendo la nutritiva comida que le había preparado especialmente Zhao Lanxiang, sus ojos claros parpadearon. Su manita sostenía una naranja y la roía, lo que hizo que el corazón de los ancianos se enterneciera. Gu Shuoming vino a implorar a Zhao Lanxiang que preparara algunas comidas de acondicionamiento corporal para Tiedan. En ese momento, "Song Lan" de Zhao Lanxiang estaba probando algunos suplementos dietéticos y terapia de ajuste dietético. Zhao Lanxiang vio que Gu Shuoming parecía tener algo difícil de contar y pensó que se trataba de algo terrible. En consecuencia, sólo preguntó por las necesidades dietéticas de Tiedan. Ella respondió feliz, bajando la cabeza y tocando suavemente el suave pelo de Tiedan: "Tiedan vendrá a cenar a casa de la tía Xiang". Tiedan se sintió tentado por las deliciosas comidas preparadas por su tía Xiang y asintió como si supiera algo. Gu Huaijin también era profesor en la escuela de arquitectura de la Universidad de G, y por su nieto, vino a la cálida ciudad G a criar a Tiedan. Bueno... en realidad vino a comer las comidas de la familia He. Tiene cara de descarado y viene todos los días a cenar con la familia He. Se ha convertido en un visitante frecuente de la mesa de la familia He. Día a día, como el agua que fluye, Tiedan se fue familiarizando con la familia He y la consideró su segundo hogar. A menudo se burlaba de los hermanos pequeños, Dahai y Tang Tang, y acompañaba a la abuela Li a leer y pasear juntos. En su primer aniversario, los dos pequeños dumplings de la familia He habían engordado y eran felices. Con los dos dumplings y el tesoro de la familia Gu, la familia He se animó mucho durante un tiempo. Esto compensa la ausencia ocasional de He Songbai para que Zhao Lanxiang no se sienta tan triste. Ella y He Songbai aún estaban en el campo cuando celebraron su primer aniversario de boda, y la pareja de recién casados estaba inmersa en la dulzura de la celebración de los cien días de sus hijos. Pero en su segundo aniversario, He Songbai luchaba por su carrera en una ciudad a miles de kilómetros de casa. Zhao Lanxiang, que llevaba mucho tiempo sin ver a su marido, lo echó de menos de repente. Confió el niño a su madre y a su abuela, se tomó unas vacaciones, compró un billete y voló a la ciudad S. He Songbai llevaba un casco duro, dirigiendo a los obreros que trabajaban en la obra. Parecía decente, pero cuando Zhao Lanxiang fue a la obra, vio a un hombre sucio con un sombrero amarillo. Para estrechar la relación con los obreros, He Songbai a veces incluso trabaja con ellos. Comen y beben juntos. En estos pocos años, ha aprendido a conducir un tractor y una excavadora, una cargadora... Como un tornillo macizo, puede hacer cualquier trabajo y suplir las carencias. Porque este año, la tecnología es dinero. Los maestros de cada tecnología son demasiado raros y demasiado pocos. La industria tradicional de la construcción se enfrenta al enorme reto de importar tecnologías emergentes. Incluso Li Zhong tuvo que convencerse. Aunque lo regañaba por ser demasiado ocioso, lo admiraba en silencio. Zhao Lanxiang se acercó a la obra y vio lo que hacía sentado en una excavadora. En pleno invierno, se había formado una fina capa de escarcha sobre el cristal. Su rostro era solemne y serio, y las gruesas herramientas lo alineaban como a decenas de millones de trabajadores corrientes. Pero es su aspecto favorito. A ella le encanta su duro trabajo, cuando se muestra serio y hace lo que le gusta. Aunque el trabajo que hace es muy duro y agotador, no es tan glorioso como la gente piensa. A principios de los 80, los suministros eran escasos y los precios del cerdo seguían siendo demasiado altos para todos. Todas las chicas quieren casarse con criadores de cerdos. El país ha entrado en un boom de la cría de cerdos. Las empresas individuales han surgido como setas, y los fondos han fluido hacia la industria de la cría. Los criadores de cerdos del país pueden ahorrar suficiente dinero para la esposa más hermosa. Todos envidiaban este trabajo, pero no conocían la verdadera cara del mismo. Hace unos años, He Songbai estaba sucio y apestaba cuando trabajaba como carnicero de cerdos. Volvía todos los días con olor a heces. Necesitaba bañarse varias veces al día para limpiarse. Esta vez, Zhao Lanxiang también vio por primera vez a He Songbai en la obra. He Songbai se había perdido la comida por estar ocupado. Afortunadamente, había metido la comida en la caja de conservación del calor temprano, y cuando comió, la comida se había calentado. Mezcló estos trozos picados de hojas de verdura y se los comió con mucho gusto. Aunque el sabor es mediocre, para la gente hambrienta es extremadamente delicioso. Después de unos bocados, se dio cuenta de que algo no iba bien. Levantó la vista y en sus ojos se reflejó la dulzura y la dulzura de su esposa, en la que pensaba día y noche. He Songbai se quedó helado, frotándose los ojos. "Tú, tú... ¿por qué estás aquí?" Las comisuras de sus labios se levantaron ligeramente, mostrando una sonrisa feliz. Zhao Lanxiang dijo: "¿Estás ocupada hoy?". He Songbai llevaba un mes viviendo como un monje y pensó que su mujer debía de estar ocupada. Sacudió rápidamente la cabeza y se tocó la nuca. "El bulldozer ya no se utiliza para construir por la tarde. ¿Puedo acompañarte? ¿Has comido, Lanxiang?". Zhao Lanxiang se tocó la barriga hambrienta y sacudió la cabeza. "Todavía no he comido. He venido a verte nada más al bajar del avión. No quería molestarte en el trabajo". He Songbai dejó su fiambrera y cogió la mano de su mujer. La condujo al apartamento donde se había instalado. Quería llevarla a cenar al restaurante, pero Zhao Lanxiang fue al mercado de verduras a comprar unos platos de carne. En la casa de alquiler, preparó tres platos sencillos pero calientes y una sopa. Las costillas de cerdo y las zanahorias formaban una sopa melosa y nutritiva. He Songbai comió un plato de sopa y preguntó a su mujer: "¿Aún tienes hambre?". Zhao Lanxiang dejó el plato de sopa, se limpió la boca y dijo sonriendo: "No tengo hambre". He Songbai la abrazó y respiró hondo, besándole la cara. El duro abrazo pareció calarle hasta los huesos. Respiró hondo y dijo con fiereza: "Estaba a punto de morir". "Realmente quiero empaquetarte y ponerte a mi lado para verte todos los días". He Songbai no podía esperar que se quedara embarazada nada más al casarse. De hecho, él y su mujer no vivían en un mundo de dos personas desde hace mucho tiempo. Tanteó su suavidad a través de la ropa, luego frunció el ceño y preguntó: "¿Tangtang y Dahai consiguieron destetarse?". Las mejillas de Zhao Lanxiang se sonrojaron y susurró: "Uh". En ese momento, He Songbai se convirtió en un lobo feroz y hambriento, y sus ojos brillaron tenuemente de repente. Puso a su dulce esposa en sus brazos y la abrazó en el cálido sofá. Su respiración era corta y caótica, y la desnudó. Después de ver la hermosa escena que tenía delante, He Songbai suspiró. El cuerpo de su esposa ocupaba realmente sus pensamientos diurnos y nocturnos, y su mujer era abrumadora con esos pechos maduros. Besó ambiguamente. El beso cayó como una tormenta, y el hombre que había estado hambriento durante meses se convirtió en un lobo hambriento. Saboreó este postre superior con paciencia y persistencia. Zhao Lanxiang le tocó la espalda sudorosa con ambas manos, los músculos bajo su pulgar eran duros y firmes. Sus uñas se clavaron profundamente en su carne. Fuera de la ventana rugía un viento frío y caía la nieve. Pero el interior es como la primavera, cálido y el hielo se estaba derritiendo. ... Tras el incidente, He Songbai abrazó a su mujer para dormirse. Su vaga voz quedó ronca después: "Me alegro tanto de que vengas a verme". Zhao Lanxiang le pellizcó la cintura y le miró: "Si no vengo, no sabrías ni cómo volver a casa. Me temo que has olvidado qué día es hoy". Su mujer pellizcó a He Songbai, su cuerpo se puso rígido, pero sonrió débilmente. El aliento rociado entre su respiración era cálido y caliente. "Cómo iba a olvidarlo". Besó en el rabillo de sus ojos. "Si no vinieras, tomaré el avión después de terminar mi trabajo matutino". Zhao Lanxiang sonrió gradualmente después de escuchar, y su corazón era tan espeso como la miel. Levantó ligeramente la cabeza y miró hacia la casa de aquel hombre. Realmente había ordenado su equipaje. Le besó y le dijo suavemente: "Entonces, ¿ese billete se ha desperdiciado?". He Songbai apretó su suave pecho y sonrió por lo bajo: "Gracias por venir a verme. Quédate hoy conmigo". ... En verano, He Songbai rara vez terminaba su largo y arduo proyecto. Él mismo se concedía unas largas vacaciones. Volvió al campo con su anciana abuela, su mujer, los dos bebés y la familia de Liang Tiezhu, que también volvió al campo de vacaciones. Dahai ya había aprendido a andar, y caminaba suavemente. El muñequito de un año era tan hermoso como una niña, con la piel blanca y la ternura, como si se pudiera pellizcar el agua de sus mejillas. Cuando los dos bebitos tomaron el tren por primera vez, He Songbai pensó que sería un desastre. Inesperadamente, los dos bebés fueron sorprendentemente listos. Cuando la abuela cogió el libro de cuentos y les contó cuentos de hadas, los ojos negros y puros de los muñecos parecían capaces de contener el mundo. He Songbai recompensó a Dahai para que se sentara en su cuello. La mujer de Tiezhu empujó la silla de ruedas de la abuela He y la siguió detrás. Zhao Lanxiang abrazó a Tang Tang, y todo el grupo se llenó de entusiasmo. He Songbai ganó mucho dinero en una granja de cerdos en el campo, y la escala de la cría había crecido a 5.000 cerdos. Para desenterrar sus tesoros ancestrales, contrató la montaña. Al cabo de dos años, combinó las granjas de cerdos con los huertos y la avicultura y construyó una base de cría ecológica de ganado, aves de corral y peces. Había aprovechado eficazmente la producción de varias partes para reciclar recursos. En el segundo año, contrató los árboles frutales de las colinas, que resultaron inesperadamente productivos. Desde entonces, además de producir carne, las granjas de "Xiangbai" también producían frutas y verduras, lo que convirtió a "Xiangbai" en una famosa marca de alimentos frescos. Antes de destacar en el sector inmobiliario, "Xiangbai" ya se había hecho un hueco en la cesta de la compra de verduras del público. Después de volver al campo, los dos bollitos no conocían el lugar donde habían nacido, pero les gustaba mucho el campo. Tang Tang perseguía a menudo a la vieja gallina en casa. Su tercera tía, Sanya, no podía detenerla. A Dahai le gustaba comer frutas del campo. El laurel de verano, la carambola, el mango y la sandía son sus favoritas. A menudo se quedaba bajo los árboles de otras personas, esperando a que su padre recoja frutas. A Tang Tang y Dahai les gusta seguir a su tercera tía al maizal. Dahai rompe el maíz y Tang Tang ayuda a su tía a atrapar los insectos y a dar de comer a las gallinas. Cuando Zhao Lanxiang fue a buscar a los niños, los dos bebés salieron del frondoso maizal y la llamaron alegremente "madre". Tenían la cara blanca y tierna manchada de tierra, y eran como pelotas rodando por el barro. He Songbai llevó a los niños a casa para lavarlos en vano y comprobó que su mujer no había regresado. Fue de nuevo al maizal y vio entre los verdes tallos de maíz y las hojas la esbelta figura de una mujer oculta al sol. Le gritó: "¿No quieres volver a casa? Hemos recogido mucho maíz. Es suficiente para comer". En cuanto terminó sus palabras, la mujer levantó de repente las hojas de maíz y gritó claramente: "Camarada, espere un momento. Tengo dificultades. ¿Puede ayudarme?" Su voz es dulce y clara, como una alondra en las montañas. La mirada de He Songbai se congeló. Su mujer le sonreía entre las hojas, y su postura, su expresión... Una escena saltó de repente en su mente. Su primer encuentro se solapaba con la escena que tenía delante. Sonrió bruscamente, se metió en el maizal y le preguntó bruscamente: "¿Qué campo es el tuyo?". Zhao Lanxiang tiró una cesta llena de maíz, lo tiró al suelo y empezó a reírse sin control. Ella lo besó y le preguntó seriamente: "¿Quieres comer azúcar?". He Songbai estaba aplastado, con la áspera hierba y la dura tierra negra en la espalda, pero frente a él estaba la mujer con una sonrisa tan brillante como el cielo azul. El sol reflejaba la piel de la mujer tan blanca como la nieve como si fuera a brillar. Cuando era un niño pobre, la ayudaba a trabajar en el maizal, pero no se atrevía a mirarla más que de soslayo. Él sabía que ella lo estaba observando. Su mirada se posó ardiente en él, y él nunca la echó de menos. Su ardiente deseo es un dulce veneno para él, que le hace evitarla como una bestia evita la inundación. "El primer año que fuiste al campo, tenías la misma expresión cuando me hablaste por primera vez". "Levántate". He Songbai se resistió impaciente y tiró de su mujer. Ella se quedó inmóvil. El hombre acarició su tierna cara y le dijo con seriedad: "Sabes, no podrás huir si vuelves a meterte conmigo". Zhao Lanxiang se dejó caer sobre su pecho y no pudo evitar sonreír, mirándolo fijamente con sus ojos claros. Se abrazó a su delgada cintura. He Songbai le levantó la cabeza y la besó con avidez.
