39. The New Year is approaching
Wang Jiaran was uncomfortable with the naked eyes of the villagers, and walked down the road and went to the fields. The ground is green, Wang Jiaran walks on the ridge, the lazy sun is sprinkled on his face, there are wisps of white clouds in the sky, like light yarn, and there are a few traces of green grass in the breeze. He walked a long way along the trail alone, passing several farmhouses, surrounded by ducks swimming in rice paddies, bamboo forests, weir ponds, and plastic bags and pesticide bottles thrown everywhere. Occasionally, a few motorcycles pass by, with bags of fertilizer or cargo strapped to their backs.
The people of the countryside sat in the courtyard together, old and young, and he looked at the faces of these people, which were rough by the wind, like unglazed pottery, and both men and women were swarthy and swarthy.
Wang Jiaran only felt that they all had an uncivilized stupidity and stupidity on their faces.
Jiang Rou's grandparents, are their parents also like this? Wang Jiaran couldn't imagine the picture of himself getting along with them.
Jiang Rou: Is this a good bamboo shoot?
Wang Jiaran looked at the scenery of this field and felt novel at first, but it was boring when he saw too much.
He pulled a pair of headphones out of his trouser pocket and walked back slowly while listening to the song.
When they walked back, the three of them had finished talking, and they were chatting and waiting for dinner.
Jiang Rou saw Wang Jiaran walk in and smiled, "Wang Jiaran, you came just in time, it's time to eat." ”
Wang Jiaran leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, and nodded to Jiang Rou.
He looked at Jiang Rou carefully to see if he could see that stupid and stupid look on her face, could the inferior genes be inherited?
The girl had a thin melon seed face, white as ivory, with a pointed chin, holding the petite and delicate mouth. It's very cute to look at
Wang Jiaran looked down at the ground and was speechless
After a while, the village food group started to eat and rang the bell.
Hearing this, Xiao He, Xiao Yonghui, and Jiang Rou all stood up, Xiao Yonghui stretched his waist, "Let's eat."
Jiang Rou also smiled, the food here is not bad, and the cooking skills of the aunt are very good.
The three of them were about to go to the cafeteria to cook, but they felt that Wang Jiaran was a little cold all morning, and Jiang Rou was extremely enthusiastic about him at the moment.
Jiang Rou patted Wang Jiaran on the shoulder, "What are you doing in a daze? Let's have a quick meal together."
"Good"
After a while, the four of them came back with a sea bowl, and below was the rice with several dishes spread on it. Today's main dish is tamales, which are wrapped in rice noodles mixed with spicy sauce and steamed in a steamer for several hours, with sweet potatoes soaked in fat underneath. There are also garlic broccoli and shredded garlic sprouts next to it.
Jiang Rou handed Wang Jiaran the chopsticks, Wang Jiaran took it and looked at the dishes in the bowl, he had just seen the woman wiping the spoon with a black rag.
Wang Jiaran looked at Jiang Rou, who was eating happily, and he picked out the meat in his bowl for her with concern, "Eat more, you are too thin." ”
Jiang Rou was flattered
Wang Jiaran smiled and didn't speak, silently poking the rice with chopsticks.
After resting for a while, Jiang Rou and Xiao Yonghui were ready to leave, and several people left to return to the county seat.
Xiao Yonghui put Jiang Rou and Wang Jiaran next to the hotel and left.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the two stood at the door of the hotel with wide eyes
Wang Jiaran took Jiang Rou's hand and didn't let her go, he wanted to go up to take a nap, so he had to let Jiang Rou go up to accompany him for a while.
Jiang Rou was forcefully breaking off the fingers that Wang Jiaran was holding on his wrist one by one, "You go to take a nap, do I want to watch from the side?"
"You can sleep with me. ”
"You're a scoundrel, aren't you?"
"I'm going to leave later, I don't know when we'll be able to meet next time, what's wrong with staying with me for a while?"
Jiang Rou slapped his hand, "No, it's too strange." ”
"Okay"
Wang Jiaran hugged Jiang Rou and kissed her face, "Then I won't send you, I want to sleep first." ”
The county seat is already small, and it only costs 8 yuan to rent it out to Jiang Rou's house here. Even so, Wang Jiaran is now his boyfriend, and he doesn't take the initiative to send her home, if it is Ye Chen, although the road is very close, he will definitely send her.
Jiang Rou couldn't help but always compare Wang Jiaran with Ye Chen, she shook her head and threw out the dangerous thoughts in her mind. Why bother.
Jiang Rou smiled at Wang Jiaran, "Go quickly, I'll have to drive later." ”
The two of them said a few more words and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Jingrun Gene is officially on holiday today, and Ye Chen returned home early in the morning.
Walking into the entrance of the community, there are red lanterns hanging on the branches, and there are happy people coming and going, as well as many elderly people and little girls wearing red.
Ye Chen laughed, it's the New Year. He hasn't been home for months, and since he broke up with Jiang Rou, he often goes on business trips, and he is usually busy in the company.
After walking a few laps along the stone road, he arrived at the door of his own unit, Ye Chen swiped his card all the way, pressed the elevator floor, and came to his door a few minutes later.
Ye Chen stretched out his finger and pressed the door lock, and with a "drop", the lock opened.
Opening the door, the house was quiet, Ye Chen called a few times, but no one responded.
Did you go out to buy New Year's goods?
He threw his computer bag on the couch and lay down tired.
I don't know how long it took for Ye Chen to slowly open his eyes, only to see his mother Ji Yiyan peeling apples next to him, Ye Chen hurriedly helped himself to sit up, "I fell asleep." ”
Ji Yiyan is a beautiful and gentle lady, with a clear face and some traces of time, and her gentle and tolerant expression and temperament are amiable.
She looked at her son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and asked while peeling apples, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
"It's too busy. ”
Ji Yiyan smiled, peeled off a piece of the apple and handed it to Ye Chen, "The body is the most important thing, if you can't finish it, you can share it with others." ”
"Don't talk about me, why didn't you and Dad see each other just now?"
"I just got back from your grandmother's house, and your dad won't be back until the afternoon. ”
Ji Yiyan remembered that Ye Chen had a little girlfriend who had been talking for several years, and it was time to graduate this year, Ye Chen was about to turn 25, she was thinking about when to bring someone home to see, "When will you bring your girlfriend home"
Ye Chen was stunned, they had broken up a long time ago, and it would never be possible in the future. He suddenly lost his appetite and put the half-eaten apple on the plate, "Let's talk about it." ”
These days his soul is tormented by anxiety, jealousy, vanity, low self-esteem. is also scorched by people's various lowly desires, and he sometimes can't help but think, if he is also so rich, Jiang Rou will not betray him?
Sometimes strong resentment and thoughts of revenge swept over, causing him to have a lot of dark thoughts, and Ye Chen himself felt ugly.
Ji Yiyan noticed that her son seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked with some concern, "What's wrong?"
Ye Chen had always been kind, and it was rare to see such an angry look on his face.
Ye Chen didn't speak, just smiled
