Chapter 31: Hard Brace
Shi Rujin arrived at Jiang's house, and Jiang Qishan and Wei Yun were waiting for her.
"Why don't you eat first!" Looking at a table of dishes that had not been touched at all, Shi Rujin asked embarrassedly.
"We weren't too hungry after eating a few cookies before. Wei Yun said, getting up and going to the kitchen to heat the dishes.
Shi Rujin wanted to follow up to help, but before he reached the kitchen door, he was coaxed back by Wei Yun.
Shi Rujin was helpless, turned around and smiled at Jiang Qishan, and greeted: "Uncle, how is your health these days?"
"That's it, anyway, everyone in the hospital knows me!" Jiang Qishan said self-deprecatingly.
Shi Rujin sat opposite Jiang Qishan and looked around the room.
The Jiang family still lives in the old workshop in the nineties, the layout is compact, the decoration is very simple, and the furniture is outdated, but because the hostess is diligent, the windows in the house are bright and clean, and the sofa is covered with pillows embroidered by Wei Yun himself.
In Shi Rujin's heart, this place has a more homely taste than her house.
Jiang Qishan looked at Shi Rujin and said with a smile: "Your aunt made all the dishes you and Chen Chen liked today, just now she went to the balcony to see it several times, complaining about the two small ones, and none of them came back." ”
The clock on the wall of the living room, the hour hand has turned to eight o'clock, Shi Rujin couldn't help but persuade: "Uncle, whether it's me or Chen Chen in the future, it's late to go home, you can eat first if you have dinner, you are not in good health, and your aunt has stomach problems, don't wait like this." ”
"It's okay," Jiang Qishan waved his hand: "We are old, and we can't eat much, we just like the feeling of sitting around as a family, by the way, this kid's appetite is so good, eating a bowl of porridge can be fragrant, and it makes people happy!"
Jiang Qishan said, then laughed, Shi Rujin looked at him, more than 10 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the heroic Jiang Company Commander has now lost his sharpness because of the torture of illness, and even looks much older than his peers.
Many of Shi Yumu's friends couldn't understand Wei Yun's marriage to Jiang Qishan a few years after his death, and some even felt that Wei Yun only cared about his new family and failed to treat Shi Rujin well.
However, in Shi Rujin's heart, she has never had a grudge against Wei Yun or Jiang Qishan, and even she is very grateful to Jiang Qishan, for Jiang Qishan to risk her life to save Shi Yumu, and for him to be by Wei Yun's side for so many years, she treats Shi Yun as her own, and even Wei Yun later wanted to give birth to a child for Jiang Qishan, but he was also refused, but she was afraid that she would be wronged.
It is already very rare for a man to have such a mind.
"Xiaojin, if you are not busy, come and sit more in the future, your aunt told me that she always feels that she has a fate with Xiaojin, so she has the opportunity to be a mother and daughter in this life. Jiang Qishan said, glancing towards the kitchen.
Shi Rujin also looked towards the kitchen, but the figure of Shi Yumu appeared in front of her, back then, it was because of the appearance of Shi Yumu that she was able to get rid of her doomed tragic fate, and met Wei Yun and so many kind people.
Fate is ethereal, and the most precious thing is the human heart.
"Your aunt cleaned up the cabinet last night and found a box left by your father," Jiang Qishan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "She has been sad for a long time, and she specially called you in the morning to ask you to come over." ”
"Box?" Shi Rujin was a little surprised.
"It's a round lacquer box," Jiang Qishan stroked and said, "We opened it, and there was a wedding photo of your parents inside, and a few copies should be your mother's diary, we didn't go through it casually, and I think it should be handed over to you to deal with." ”
"The dishes are all hot, you can eat them!" Wei Yun came out of it and asked Jiang Qishan, "Did you call Chen Chen, isn't it time to come back at this time?"
"I forgot to say it, I met Huo Wei outside, and then Huo Wei took him to dinner with friends, and he may come back later, don't worry, Huo Wei will definitely send him. Shi Rujin hurriedly explained.
"Huo Wei has been okay recently," Jiang Qishan said beside him: "I haven't seen him for a while, and your aunt and I have been discussing that one day we will thank him in person." ”
Wei Yun immediately said: "Xiaojin, come over next time, bring Huo Wei with you, and I'll cook a big meal for him." ”
"Can you use it so grandly?" Shi Rujin said casually.
"Huo Wei helped Chen Chen so much, although it is for your sake, in terms of etiquette, the favor should be returned by us as parents. Wei Yun replied.
"Not so many courtesies!" Shi Rujin said, got up and followed Wei Yun to the kitchen to serve food.
Wei Yun came out with a steamed fish and said, "When your affair with Huo Wei is completed, he will be our son-in-law, and of course the etiquette will be different, but now if we don't express it at all, Huo Wei shouldn't have any ideas, right?"
"He has no heart and lungs, so he doesn't need to talk to him about etiquette!" Shi Rujin said funny, and couldn't help but clear up again: "Huo Wei and I are just superiors and subordinates, and nothing else." ”
Wei Yun looked at Shi Rujin, laughed, and sighed, "...... you?"
"I thought about it, let's go to the hotel and invite Huo Wei, let Xiaojin pick a day, just before he goes abroad," Jiang Qishan proposed: "The family is too cramped, don't let the family be restrained." ”
"Listen to your Uncle Jiang, it's decided!" Wei Yun simply made a final decision.
Seeing that the Jiang family and his wife had already decided, Shi Rujin didn't insist anymore, knowing that Wei Yun and Jiang Qishan were kind-hearted people, and if they didn't let them invite, maybe they would be uncomfortable.
Then the three of them sat down at the table, and dinner finally began.
Jiang Qishan had a bad appetite, so after a few bites, he put down his chopsticks, sat on the sofa, turned on the TV and watched.
Wei Yun didn't eat much herself, she kept giving Shi Rujin vegetables, Shi Rujin couldn't eat it for a long time, but it was not easy to refuse, and finally looked at the mountains in front of her, her expression was a little helpless.
"How much can you eat, your aunt made an afternoon dish, and she wanted people to praise her skills. Jiang Qishan said beside him, obviously seeing that Shi Rujin was already holding on.
"Auntie's cooking is better than Michelin's three-star cooking!" Shi Rujin obediently cheered for Wei Yun.
"If you don't want to eat, say it early," Wei Yun glanced at Shi Rujin: "It's still that weird temper, endure everything by yourself!"
Shi Rujin was afraid that Wei Yun would be disappointed, so he tried hard to eat a bite of food, so he put down his chopsticks and said: "When I go to the United States in the future, my aunt will find a day to cook all the dishes he likes to eat, and then let him see it, and if he can't eat it, he will be hungry." ”
"That's a good idea!" Wei Yun was amused: "That kid is spoiled by me, he invites him to dinner every day, and he thinks that I always have those tricks, I don't want to starve him for a few meals, I don't have a conscience, I really don't know who is good to him." ”
"Auntie, I've thought about it, when Chen Chen is officially admitted to college, when he enrolls, I will take you and Uncle Jiang to the United States to see him. Shi Rujin promised very seriously.
"Don't spend so much money, the round-trip fare is scared to death," Wei Yun said, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks: "When this kid was in front of him, he was really annoyed, but he was really going to leave us, and he was reluctant to do anything." ”
"Look at what you're struggling with, my son is going to college, we must go, we still have savings, don't keep letting Xiaojin pay for it. Jiang Qishan said on the side.
Wei Yun glanced at Jiang Qishan and shook his head with a smile.
"Auntie has been busy for a day, the old rule, I will wash the dishes. Shi Rujin stood up, grabbed Wei Yun's shoulders, pushed her to sit next to Jiang Qishan, and then cleaned up the table.
In the kitchen, Shi Rujin was washing and washing, Wei Yun walked in, leaned against the door, and looked at her for a long time.
"Auntie, do you have anything to say?" Shi Rujin didn't reply, but he already knew that Wei Yun was behind him.
"Why did you lose weight again, is it not a good rest?" Wei Yun asked as she looked at Shi Rujin.
"This shows that I have lost weight successfully!" Shi Rujin smiled and looked back at Wei Yun.
"You were thin when you were a child, when I was in the hospital, the first time I saw you lying on the hospital bed, obviously you are already a six-year-old child, looking so small, if I didn't know your father, I thought you were abused by your parents, like that...... It's so distressing!" Wei Yun approached Shi Rujin and reached out to pinch her shoulder.
Hearing this, Shi Rujin paused slightly, then turned around and smiled at Wei Yun: "I've been like this since I was a child, and many people still envy me for not eating meat!"
"Xiaojin, after your father passed away, I should have taken care of you, but ......" Wei Yun's voice was a little low: "The most sorry thing in my life is your father and daughter." ”
"Auntie, every few months, you have to tell me this, then I will repeat it again, because with Auntie and Chen, I feel that I still have a home, and I am not alone at all. Shi Rujin smiled at Wei Yun and said, "Okay, wash it up!"
Wei Yun sighed lowly, and together with Shi Rujin, put the dishes and chopsticks into the disinfection cabinet.
