Chapter 5 If Life Is Only as First Seen
got out of the taxi and walked quickly to the front of the Lin family's store following his memory, Jiajia Seasoning Wholesale, a very common name, this is still Tang Qing's name, he was also present when Lin's father named it before, so he said this name in passing, but he didn't expect to get everyone's unanimous consent.
At this time, there were only two people in the shop, one was a customer's aunt, and the other was Lin Jiaxue, who could only live in his dreams later.
Today, Lin Jiaxue was wearing a pure white T-shirt, an apron from a soy sauce manufacturer, light blue shorts, and was weighing the rock sugar and dried chili peppers selected by the aunt, this aunt also bought a lot, and the busy Lin Jiaxue didn't notice Tang Qing standing at the door.
Looking at Lin Jiaxue, who was busy calculating the weighing, Tang Qing's eyes moistened a little, this girl grew up with him since childhood, and the childish words of the past are still vivid
"Brother Tang Tang, my mother said that I will be your bride in the future. β
"I don't want to. β
"Yes. β
"Don't. β
γγγγγγ
"Then I'll give you candy to eat. β
"Well... All right. β
Just a few paragraphs, Tang Qing changed tricks back and forth, and he didn't know how much sugar he cheated to eat, and he would laugh out loud unconsciously.
"You're here!" Just as Tang Qing was thinking, Lin Jiaxue sent away the aunt just now, saw Tang Qing standing at the door at a glance, stroked her hair and asked with a gentle smile.
Some people say that the woman who laughs is the most beautiful, Tang Qing also agrees with this sentence, Lin Jiaxue is not as captivating as the heroine of the novel, and she does not reverse the posture of all beings, but she is by no means worse than those stars, this is still a state of no makeup, if she learns to make up in the future, it is estimated that she can really be called stunning, Lin Jiaxue, who is only seventeen years old at this time, is a little green, but it is this youthful vitality and the Xi Shi in the eyes of her lover that makes her the most beautiful woman in the world in Tang Qing's eyes, no one.
The reunion of the two was not as passionate as imagined. Enthusiastic like fire, Tang Qing, who had a lot to say, didn't want to say anything at this moment, just wanted to look at her quietly, Lin Jiaxue is a girl with a quiet personality, although she is younger than Tang Qing, but she has always taken care of Tang Qing like a sister, she was bullied when she was a child, she went back to the field, and only at this time will she feel her side of a woman, the rest of the time is gentle and quiet, the two don't talk much when they are together, unlike other couples who are in love, like glue and sweet chatter, but from the eyes and expressions, both of them can understand each other's affectionγ
Tang Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, maybe only such a gentle girl could keep him unable to let go for so long.
"Yes, here we are. Tang Qing also replied softly, but his voice trembled a little, seeing Lin Jiaxue again, the past kept coming to mind, he didn't know that his tear glands were so weak today, like a woman, sentimental, maybe he really encountered a sad place.
"Huh, Tang Tang is here, what are you doing at the door, come in." Hearing the voices of her daughter and Tang Qing, Mother Lin, who had just picked up the goods from upstairs, also noticed Tang Qing standing at the door, and greeted warmly, she was very satisfied with this future son-in-law, the two families were originally neighbors, and the parents of both sides have known each other since childhood, and the relationship is also very good.
The plan of the parents of both sides is that the two will get married after graduating from college, they have been doing business for so many years, and the savings are still a little, when Tang Qing's parents come out a little more, it is not difficult to buy a house, although Tang Qing's grandfather's illness in the first two years almost spent all his savings, but Tang Qing's parents will also earn it, when they graduate, everyone will get together, a house is nothing, as for who pays how much Mother Lin doesn't care, just such a daughter, calculating that little money is really not interested, as for loans, in their concept they don't like to borrow money from the bankγ
"Okay, by the way, what about uncle?" Tang Qing walked in after asking, and it was really not good to block the door.
"Your uncle has delivered the goods, and there are five to deliver this morning, and it is estimated that it will take more than an hour to get back. Lin Mu explained. For large customers, they are delivered to their doors for free.
At this time, a few more customers came in, Tang Qing also hurried up to help greet him, a few minutes later, this wave of customers asked the price and didn't buy any of them, Tang Qing was quite speechless, although this situation in his previous life was quite common to himself, but watching Lin Jiaxue introduce him for a while and found nothing, it made him feel a little unhappy, especially wasting so much time on my future wife and not giving face in the end, he also knew that this kind of vexatious resentment was caused by so many years of longing and love, but it was a little uncontrollable.
"Here you go. Looking at the beads of sweat on Tang Qing's forehead, Lin Jiaxue picked up the glass cup with cartoon patterns printed on the table, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him.
Tang Qing was not polite, picked up the cup and took a big sip, this cup was given by Tang Qing on her birthday last month, a cup, a lifetime, in today's world, the word cup is not yet popular, it is still a good choice to send a cup, but this is also the last birthday gift he gave to Lin Jiaxue, and he has been cherishing it since then, and it is not necessary to take it wherever it is moved, but sometimes it is in a daze.
"You drink too. Tang Qing handed the quilt to Lin Jiaxue again, Lin Jiaxue took the cup and drank two sips directly regardless of whether Tang Qing had drunk it or not, the two of them have played together since childhood, and they have recognized each other again, so they have not been restrained in this regard, and they have been like this since childhood.
The next hour or so was busy, and there was an endless stream of customers, after all, the location was there, and many of them belonged to old customers who could say hello, and the business was exceptionally good. It was close to noon that the number of customers decreased.
Tang Qing, who was weighing back and forth, secretly looked in the direction of Lin Jiaxue from time to time, and a faint sense of happiness arose.
It's good that you're there!
γγγγγγ
"Tang Tang is here. A rough and familiar voice sounded behind him, Tang Qing immediately realized that this was the voice of his future father-in-law, and quickly turned his head, and saw Father Lin wearing a straw hat parking the tricycle at the door, of course, this three-wheeled car is not electric or oil-burning, completely human-powered three-wheeled.
"Yes, uncle. Tang Qing hurriedly replied.
"Do you have a lot of homework assigned by your teacher?" Father Lin asked as he took off his straw hat and used it as a fan as he walked.
"That's a lot, I'm going to start writing it again tomorrow. Tang Qing told a little lie, just reborn and system tasks, there are so many things, how can you have the heart to write homework, you can't write if you want to, let alone don't want to write.
As for what to do, it's not simple, can't you write and can't copy? In his previous life, his studies were not bad, he had never copied his homework, and it was very embarrassing to feel that he was a human being in his second life, and he felt that some of the constraints in his heart had long disappeared, and the things he looked down on before were now done without any psychological burden, Tang Qing could only blame it on the influence of the impetuous society in later generations, and resolutely refused to admit that he didn't want to write homework.
"People, it's really a double standard for yourself and others. Tang Qing sighed secretly.
He and Lin Jiaxue are not in the same high school, he is in the eighth middle school, Lin Jiaxue is in the second middle school, the second middle school is the best high school in Qingyan City, and the eighth middle school can only be said to be average, as for the reason, of course, it is the grades. Although Tang Qing's grades in his previous life were good, he was still a little far from Lin Jiaxue, a scholar.
The two high schools are even far away, one in the east of the city and the other in the west of the city, but they are both quite close to their respective places, and it takes no more than fifteen minutes to walk, otherwise they would not have lived on campus in their third year of high school, and they can only meet on weekends every week.
Although Lin Jiaxue studies very well and belongs to the top class, it is not difficult to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University with her score in the college entrance examination, but she only applied for one university in the province, that is, the university where Tang Qing is located, it is useless for the teacher to persuade her, the reason given by Lin Jiaxue is that she doesn't want to be too far away from home, but she has known each other for more than ten years, how can Tang Qing not know what the reason is, how can this kind of girl make him not love.
At noon, it is eaten in the store, but the store can only cook and not stir-fry, the dishes are fried in the morning and brought from home, when steaming rice, put the dishes directly on the rice cooker and heat it a little, and eat it directly without heating many times on hot days.
"Tang Tang, eat slowly. Mother Lin looked at Tang Qing lovingly and said.
Eating this long-lost taste, Tang Qing couldn't stop at all, and took a big gulp. The first bite he knew that today's dish was fried by Lin Jiaxue, generally Lin Jiaxue has a job after school every day is to buy vegetables and cook, dinner is basically Lin Jiaxue is cooking, only breakfast is not done, after all, Lin's father and Lin mother go to bed early, Lin Jiaxue does homework and studies late, but there are not many dishes today, Tang Qing eats rice hard, Lin Jiaxue chews slowly as always and watches Tang Qing eat.
"Delicious. Tang Qing said vaguely.
"Why did you have such a good appetite today, didn't you eat in the morning?" Lin Jiaxue asked softly with another piece of fat for him.
"I ate it, but I think I have a good appetite to eat with you today. Tang Qing swallowed the food in his mouth and said, and then gave his sentence a full score.
Everyone finished the meal happily together, I don't know if the physique was strengthened or what's going on, his meal today has increased greatly than usual, fortunately, Lin Mu cooked more rice at noon, otherwise he might not be able to eat enough, and finally he even ran out of oil, leaving only some chili peppers and peppercorns.
In this way, after a busy and fulfilling afternoon, in the evening, Father Lin pushed the tricycle into the store and closed the door, and Tang Qing also took the bus back to Lin Jiaxue's house with him, ready to leave after dinner.
After dinner, Lin Jiaxue obediently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Mother Lin, and the two old men sat and drank tea, which has always been like this in the Lin family, Tang Qing has already taken it for granted for so many years, I don't know if it is a habit or something in this life, I even feel a little at ease, it is really a wicked inertia, Tang Qing once again deeply despised himself.
Watching Lin Jiaxue Xian Xian busy cleaning up the kitchen, a feeling of home suddenly appeared, a feeling that he couldn't remember or lose.
After sitting at the Lin family for a while and digesting it, Tang Qing said goodbye and left, and then took advantage of the holiday to do the task, otherwise there would not be so much free time to go to school.
At this time, it was not dark yet, the buses were still there, and Lin Jiaxue did not send him, they have known each other for so many years, they are not so hypocritical, and Lin Jiaxue is relatively quiet, and she doesn't like to be greasy and crooked.
It took me more than ten minutes to take a taxi back to my uncle's house, and my uncle had to go back for four days, so I had to finish some things in the past few days, otherwise I would come back to the character of my eldest cousin, not to mention the ghost of doing my own homework, it was definitely a nightmare, I really don't know why my eldest cousin cares so much about his homework.
After a simple wash, Tang Qing lay on the bed and recalled everything that happened today, feeling like a dream, but all kinds of facts proved that it was not a dream.
"System, can I give you a name. β
"I'm sorry, I can't. β
"Can you change your voice?"
"I'm sorry, I can't. β
"Who made you?"
"Sorry, not enough permissions to view. β
"Do you know how to chat?"
"I'm sorry, no. β
"What is the function of Level 2?"
"Sorry, not enough permissions to view. β
"Do you have a second uncle?"
"I'm sorry, no. β
γγγγγγ
In this way, Tang Qing and the system chatted nonsense, some asked and some didn't, what made Tang Qing angry was that this guy really didn't know what he was, either he couldn't or he didn't have enough permissions, but when he was bored, there was a voice that was pretty good, and Tang Qing, who was slowly tired for a day, fell asleep.
