Chapter 42 Halfway Love
Xu Che raised his eyebrows and looked at her, if she hadn't said the words "my boyfriend" naturally, he would have snatched his mobile phone and scolded Liu Shaoyang with blood.
Xu Che was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Little sister, next time don't talk about my boyfriend, it's very outward." ”
"Then what do you say?" Jiang Yao leaned against the car window expressionlessly, Liu Shaoyang's words were not groundless, he would definitely have a dinner party in the shortest possible time.
"My man..."Xu Che's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "My husband can do it too..."
Jiang Yao wanted to say "my dog that bites people"! But she didn't dare to say it in front of Xu Che, in case he really pounced on her and bit herself...
...
On the way back, there were four people in a group. Lu Wenjing said a few words to Xu Che from time to time, naturally she was asking for information for Jiang's mother. As a two-faced spy, she flattered Jiang's mother on the one hand, and stammered Xu Che on the other, and Jiang Yao felt tired and panicked for her.
"Brother-in-law, I feel that you are very delicate, are you younger than my sister?" Lu Wenjing glanced at the message sent by her aunt, cleared her throat and asked.
"Isn't the age gap a problem? I'm a little older, but I'm also very good-looking. Jiang Yao preemptively interrupted Xu Che's answer, if he truthfully said that he was twenty-two years old, he would be one year younger than Lu Wenjing. Once I let my parents know, I didn't even have a chance to meet Xu Che, so I passed it directly.
Jiang Yao fought back again: "Jingjing, you're going to graduate next year, right?"
Lu Wenjing couldn't find out Xu Che's age, and was a little absent-minded about Jiang Yao's question: "Let's talk about it then, if grandma asks me to go out, I will go to Haicheng to find you, if not, I will stay in Bincheng to work." ”
Grandma's relatives are more conservative in their thinking. Generally, the children of the family cannot report too far when they go to college. The ones that can be chosen are Bincheng and Haicheng, Lu Wenjing has been dreaming of universities in Beijing since she was a child, so when Jiang Yao asked, she was very melancholy in her heart.
"By the way, brother-in-law, is there a "non-stained" in your Haicheng District?" Lu Wenjing and her classmates were full of curiosity, many classmates took advantage of the holiday to go back to Haicheng District to play, which was more prosperous than Bincheng District. I've heard them mention that "Bu Stain" is the most suitable entertainment club for students to go to, and there is no mixed social men and women in it.
On the contrary, you may be able to find true love over there.
"Well, I've heard of it. Xu Che looked at Jiang Yao, she looked dazed, and asked, "Yaoyao, have you been there?"
"No, it's not good to hear the name..."Jiang Yao's face was full of disdain, but she was actually yearning in her heart. But she was past the age of indulgence, she hadn't been to that kind of place when she was in school, and her work after work didn't allow her to go where she didn't go. But he didn't want Xu Che to laugh at himself for not being knowledgeable and like a dirt bun, so he said something casually.
Xu Che frowned slightly, isn't it good to "not dye"?
"Sister, I haven't been there either, next time I go to Haicheng District to find you, let's go play." I've heard people say that it's a lot of fun, and there are a lot of new ways to play, which can always help you find true love. Lu Wenjing's face was full of anticipation, and when Jiang Yao spoke, she would be able to have a legitimate excuse to ask for leave from her family.
In fact, I don't want to find true love, mainly because a few classmates said that the boss of "Unstained" is just twenty-two years old, and he seems to be a college student, and he looks handsome...
"If I don't go, don't look for me to take the blame, my aunt will complain about me. Jiang Yao shook her head resolutely.
...
It only took two hours to get back to Bincheng District, and when the sun went down, they just parked the car downstairs. Before that, Lu Wenjing and her classmates were sent to the bus station. After all, it was the first time to meet his parents, and it was not good for outsiders to be present, so Lu Wenjing refused Jiang Yao and Xu Che's invitation.
The unit building where the Jiang family lived was still a staff house at that time, old and dilapidated, and barely called a community. At the beginning, Jiang's parents were both regular employees, and in order to give birth to Jiang Cheng, Jiang's mother was forced to lay off. Over the years, she has taught in private middle schools and can be regarded as a backbone teacher. However, the two children have to go to school, and the family's expenses are very large.
Many residents in the community have bought new houses and moved out, and some people have no financial means and can only live in the dilapidated community with those tenants.
The Jiang family is the latter, and they have always been very economical. The main reason is to think about getting old and having children, and I am afraid that Jiang Cheng's life will be under pressure in the future, so I have been saving money and wanting to buy a house. So after Jiang Yao graduated, her salary was voluntarily handed over... Naturally, her parents didn't want to take Jiang Yao's money, so they helped save the money they transferred.
Xu Che, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, was so nervous that his back was wet with sweat during the time he knocked on the door and waited...
"You look a little nervous, don't you?" Jiang Yao tilted her head sideways and smiled playfully. It is rare for him to be able to see the sky and the earth, revealing this serious and serious sense of oppression. In the past, what often lingered in the corners of his mouth was an uninhibited evil smile, but today... Are you laughing at it?
Jiang Yao was in a good mood, and the more serious he looked at, the more enjoyable he felt in his heart.
"What you're thinking about now is moving to my side and preparing something!" Xu Che saw the smugness in her eyes, and wanted to plug her lips. However, the two opened their mouths to communicate, which made the tension disappear.
"Then you have to pay attention to your words, if you mess up, you'll be yellow. Jiang Yao was still a little worried, after all, his character was here. Let him bear Dong Yan's name, can he accept it honestly?
But the current one hates his predecessor's name, let alone let him pretend. It's not a way to hide it from her parents all the time, Jiang Yao wants to confess everything to her parents before leaving after dinner. Before that, you have to let Xu Che leave a good impression on the two elders, and if you open the door, you will explain, and the effect will not be as good as the explanation after that.
The door was opened, and Jiang Mu was obviously surprised when she saw him for the first time. This kid looks more energetic and generous than in the photo.
In the photo sent by Lu Wenjing before, he was wearing a light-colored patchwork jacket and looked like he was only twenty years old. Now the black mid-length trench coat on his body is in shape, and his whole body is black, which looks a lot more mature and stable.
"Come in, come in, you're tired of driving, right?" The smile on Jiang's mother's face was very doting, beckoning Xu Che to go inside. glanced at Jiang Yao with the afterglow of looking at Xu Che, um... There is a real gap between the two.
"The thought of coming to the house doesn't make me feel tired. Xu Che bent down and carried the two large boxes in his hands, and when he entered the door, he was placed at the entrance under Jiang's father's Zhang Luo, and was greeted by sitting on the sofa and drinking tea and water with Jiang's father.
"Uncle, do you like tea?" Xu Che just sat down, his buttocks were not warm, and he got up again and smiled: "I will also make two cups of tea to drink in my spare time, and some time ago I felt that the big red robe was very good, and I also brought it for you to taste." ”
Jiang's father doesn't smoke or drink, but he likes to drink tea. The cups and teapots at home are full of tea dirt. He generally doesn't buy expensive tea, a box of tea for dozens of yuan, which is enough to refresh his mind.
"You've got a heart. Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yao, she must have told the young man that she liked to drink tea...
Jiang Yao stood aside nervously, and when she changed her shoes, she gave Xu Che, who was unpacking the box and getting tea, wink. Xu Che hooked his lips, his face full of indifference.
"Yaoyao, let's go to the kitchen to cook and let them chat. Jiang's mother had already done a good job of dividing labor with Jiang's father before, and Jiang's father was responsible for communicating with him, trying to figure out how the two of them would develop next. Jiang's mother is responsible for supporting Jiang Yao, after all, there are some things that are difficult to say in front of her.
Jiang Yao walked from the living room to the kitchen, turning back three times in one step. She was afraid that Xu Che would start to wave after a while, and tell her father about the things he had done very honorably...
"Don't worry, I'll accompany my uncle to have tea. Xu Che took the two boxes and sat unceremoniously opposite Jiang's father. Leaning sideways slightly, he nodded at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao walked in awkwardly, poking her head out from time to time, but she couldn't hear what the two said clearly.
"Mom, what do you think of him?" Jiang Yao asked weakly.
Jiang's mother is very skilled in cutting vegetables, and when she heard Jiang Yao's question, the movements in her hands were still the same, but she just turned her head, pursed her lips and smiled: "Very generous and steady, you can see that your father is laughing." ”
After retiring from the Li family, she still hasn't seen her wife smile so happily for a long time. He doesn't care if he is talked about by his neighbors or misunderstood by his colleagues. But as a father, he cares about his daughter's happiness.
With such a happy smile today, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with this young man...
Jiang Yao followed his mother's gaze, he was radiant under the light, and his every move was humble and polite, which was completely different from the usual hanging. The heart, with the smile on his face, is also constantly overflowing.
"Ah, there is no soy sauce at home, Yaoyao, you go buy a bottle and come back. ”
Jiang Yao understood that her mother's decision to buy soy sauce was not the purpose, and they were ready to judge Xu Che together for being true. From childhood to adulthood, as long as there are outsiders in the house. Mom always used the excuse of buying soy sauce or vinegar to dispose of herself.
When it comes to soy sauce, it's a nightmare.
When she went out with her mobile phone, Xu Che and her father were smiling, and the scene was harmonious for a while. Closing the door, she hurriedly edited a message and sent it to Xu Che: "Don't act rashly, just make them happy." I'll come back and talk to them alone!"
"Don't worry!" he replied quickly, accompanied by an OK gesture.
She ran out of the community almost as fast as she could, carrying a pot of soy sauce in the convenience store and running upstairs. Before she opened the door with the key, she listened with her ears sideways, and it was still peaceful inside. There was the occasional sound of dishes clattering, but more often than not, laughter.
"I just found a bag of soy sauce in the cabinet, I've let you run away, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Mother Jiang put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and beckoned to Jiang Yao without the slightest guilt.
"Mom, don't take you to torture people like this..."Jiang Yao trotted all the way back, and now she was panting breathlessly.
"I forgot..."Mother Jiang smiled wryly, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
"Xiao Che, don't be busy, let your aunt come, sit down. Father Jiang's hearty laughter came from the dining room, and Jiang Yao in the bathroom ran out without bothering to wipe her hands.
Xiao Che.... Why did Dad call Xu Che so kindly?
She wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Xu Che in disbelief, he came out behind Jiang Mu with a plate, and hooked her lips proudly: "Yaoyao, come to dinner." ”
On the dinner table, the picture is extremely weird. They are like a peaceful family of four, talking and laughing. Jiang Yao silently looked at the other three people communicating, and what was even more surprising was that Xu Che and Jiang's father were discussing early retirement!
When he was engaged to Li Wenzhe, the Li family promised to help Jiang's father retire early, after all, he was not in good health, and it was better to rest at home early than to stay up all the time.
After the divorce, the matter will be over. I didn't expect to bring it up again now, what can't be done, doesn't it make the old man even more troubled to say it?
"Uncle, you have all the checklists in your hospital. You give me a copy, and I'll find someone to hand it in for you, and it should be done soon." Xu Che's expression was leisurely, and he was extremely satisfied with these meals.
However, his words surprised all the Jiang family.
"Do you have acquaintances in our district?" Jiang Yao asked when she saw her parents' faces full of anticipation.
"My second brother-in-law should be the number one in the education sector in your district, is his surname Meng? Xu Che came and said: "Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious, I have only eaten takeout alone all these years, and there is no fireworks at all." ”
"I like to eat and come back often in the future. I've been spending a week every week, and Chengcheng is not at home, so you can still have a lively day when you come back. Jiang's mother looked relaxed, the only problem at home was the early retirement of his wife, if Xu Che could help solve it, it would finally make him feel comfortable.
Xu Che had a hippie smile, as if he was coquettish to Jiang's mother: "I used to be alone, and I was too lazy to do it." With Yaoyao in the future, I have to study, and I can't let her eat takeout with me. ”
Jiang Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, looking disdainful, but her heart throbbed inexplicably.
....
After the meal, Jiang's mother didn't bother to clean up, so she dragged Jiang Yao into the bedroom. She knew that Jiang Yao was leaving overnight, and she could only communicate on the phone when she walked down, and it was better to tell her face-to-face.
"Just now, Xiao Che's kid told everything, it doesn't matter if you and Dong Yan are not suitable to separate, and you still hide it from us, do you really think that I am confused with your father? I can't even carry this thing clearly?" Jiang Mu raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Seeing that you are older than Xiao Che, it is not as clear as others' hearts." ”
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and leaned on Jiang's mother's shoulder: "It's good that you and my dad aren't angry." ”
"Xiao Che, this child is also pitiful, both parents died. The more such a child is, the more serious he is about feelings, he said that he wants to have a home of his own, and when he comes home, it is always empty, how penetrating it is. "As a famous teacher, Jiang's mother is very serious about putting herself in the shoes of others.
How serious is he about his feelings? It's simply arrogant and unreasonable! Jiang Yao was silent, and quietly listened to Jiang's mother's chatter.
"He just said he wanted you to move in with him"
"Ahem, cough, don't even think about it, I won't go! How can we live together before we get married?" Jiang Yao opened her mouth in surprise, but before she could open her mouth, she was choked by her own saliva, and coughed twice in a panic. Why does he say everything?
"I won't interfere with your father in this matter, you can go if you want, and I don't want to make it clear to Xiao Che. Two people should understand each other when they are together. Jiang's mother sighed earnestly: "He said that when he was a child, his parents' marriage was unstable, his household registration was relatively late, and his ID card had not yet passed his twenty-second birthday, so he was actually one year younger than you." He said that as long as you agree, when he is old, he will go to the testimony first. ”
Jiang Yao once thought that she had heard it wrong, staring at Jiang's mother with a question mark on her face for a long time, and she became more and more curious about what Xu Che's scolding mouth could say to make her parents change so much?
"This... Let's look everywhere first, it's too early to talk about marriage. Jiang Yao smiled awkwardly, his mouth can really blow. Is it the wrong account?
"Xiao Che, this child has no parents, compared with Li Wenzhe's mother, if you marry and be the master of your own house, life will be comfortable. ”
"Hey, I know, I'll think about it. Jiang Yao saw Jiang's mother's face moved, and she really didn't want to listen to her teach herself. After a while, I was sure to talk about how many of her students were in their thirties, and they were not married, and they had been dragged out so much that they couldn't get married and became a stepmother.
....
It's hard to get started, Jiang Yao is thinking about the unhindered start of her relationship with Xu Che, the love that is too smooth and easy to get, is it going to be cut in half halfway?
When the two returned to Haicheng District, it was already eleven o'clock at night. The hustle and bustle of the big city is day and night, and at this time it is still brightly lit, singing and dancing.
Jinyuan is one of the best high-end residential areas in the center of Haicheng District, all of which are designed to be duplexes. When he was fifteen years old, he sold some real estate and cars after his accident. The money has always been in the hands of the old lady, who bought a small leap a few years ago, but the keys will not be handed to him until he is in love.
Some time ago, Jiang Yao's bed companionship in the hospital was known by the old lady, and she happily transferred the house, and Zhang Luo also handed over the remaining money to Xu Che for safekeeping. But Xu Che didn't take it, he couldn't use the money, let alone use the money, and he didn't want to touch that woman's things.
"Little sister, the convenience store over there is relatively large, let's go buy something to use tomorrow." Xu Che leaned forward, leaned in front of her, and shouted in a low voice.
Jiang Yao reasoned with Xu Che in the car, and promised him that as long as he could make his parents happy and satisfied, he would move in with him. The dispute was unsuccessful, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he didn't expect to fall asleep in a hazy way.
"I'm sleepy..."Jiang Yao chirped, shook her head again and continued to close her eyes.
Xu Che couldn't bear to wake her up, so he simply gave up and drove down the underground parking lot. After parking the car, I went around to the co-pilot, picked her up horizontally, and took the elevator to the 28th floor.
"Little sister, hold me tight, we're home. Xu Che didn't realize that he could say such a gentle tone. The fingerprint lock rang twice when it was opened, and she frowned in displeasure and drilled into her arms again. Just such a slight gesture ignited the fire in an instant...
Gently put her on the big bed, and took off her coat and didn't continue to toss her. Xu Che closed the bedroom door and soaked himself in the water tank.
