Chapter 384: Ah You's Past
Someone came to say hello, Jian Lan would also respond with a smile, naturally, Xu Jinlang, who was following Jian Lan every step of the way, would not be ignored, and after the townspeople and Jian Lan said hello, their eyes turned to Xu Jinlang's body.
Coincidentally, when they saw Xu Jinlang's phoenix appearance, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then asked Jian Lan happily: "Jane, this is your boyfriend, right? ”
Xu Jinlang has been praised since he was a child, and he has long developed the ability to deal with it calmly, but when he heard these people praise him for being a good match with Jian Lan, he couldn't help but be happy, just like a hairy boy who has not experienced the world.
Compared with his smug and shy appearance, Jian Lan was much calmer, and she was a little embarrassed at first, but in the end, she was still cold in her bones, and she was able to respond to everyone's jokes without changing her face at night.
The town is not big, and the townspeople have been living together since their ancestors, and after generations of operation, they are more or less related to each other, and the town is simple, and the whole town is very simple, and everything spreads quickly.
So, when Xu Jinlang and Jian Lan returned to Jian Lan's cake shop, the news that Jian Lan brought back a tall and handsome boyfriend was also spread in Li Town.
Of course, the two parties didn't know about this matter, after putting the things down, Xu Jinlang was ready to go to the supermarket owner's house, although he had only been at the store owner's house for less than a day, but the store owner really had nothing to say to him, and now that he had reconciled with Jian Lan, he would definitely go to thank him.
Raising his legs and preparing to go out, his eyes purred, and he swept to Ah You, who was facing Jian Lan's coquettishness, Xu Jinlang's eyes deepened, and then he regained his calm.
"Wife, I'm out. ”
"Hmm. ”
Jian Lan nodded, and didn't take her eyes off Ah You.
His wife cares so much about other men, don't ask Xu Jinlang how he feels, because he is already sad and doesn't feel anything.
Secretly poked and poked the decision to wait for him to come back and then find Ah You to settle the account, Xu Jinlang left the cake shop in three steps, but what made him sad was that he looked back so many times, and Jian Lan didn't look at him.
Resisting the urge to come back and pull the two away and then pull Jian Lan away, Xu Jinlang quickened his pace and went to the shopkeeper's house.
The shopkeeper was still sitting in the supermarket, just like Xu Jinlang had when he first met him.
The difference is that when he saw Xu Jinlang this time, the shopkeeper stood up with a 'pout'.
"Where have you been, boy? I almost thought you were gone after a few days of not seeing you. ”
A slap on Xu Jinlang's shoulder, the shopkeeper yelled, without waiting for Xu Jinlang to answer, he approached Xu Jinlang a few more points, and the thief glanced around, seeing that there was no one, then he lowered his voice and asked mysteriously:
"I heard from the people in the town that you came back with Miss Jane?
Xu Jinlang couldn't help but smile and glanced at the shopkeeper who deliberately lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he looked a little hideous, suppressed the smile in his heart, and nodded calmly.
Seeing Xu Jinlang nodded, the shopkeeper became even more excited, as soon as Jian Lan arrived in the town, because of her excellent appearance and quiet and cold temperament, she was liked by the people in the town, she was well-behaved and capable, many of the older generation regarded her as a daughter, and the single men of the younger generation regarded her as a goddess.
Helpless, Miss Jane is so good-looking, everyone doesn't have the courage to confess, but because of this, everyone has been secretly jealous of who has the blessing of being able to eat swans, and now it seems that the young men in the town are going to cry, where is the toad in front of him, it is clearly a noble white swan, and Miss Jian is just a match.
Eh, I don't know if everyone knows that he helped others win the beauty before, whether he will be cut very badly.
Sighing inwardly, the shopkeeper felt that his future was very slim.
"By the way, I'm here to thank you, I'll live with Jane from now on, thank you for helping me, there's nothing to express my gratitude, I'll invite you when Jane and I get married. ”
Xu Jinlang didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, Xu Jinlang explained his intentions, and was ready to make a quick decision, but there was no way, put Jian Lan and Ah You's lonely men and widows together, Xu Jinlang really didn't have so much measure and confidence.
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard Xu Jinlang's words, and some of them did not ease up, so he could only nod instinctively, and then he was shocked.
"What? You're going to... Want to live with Jane?"
Because of his amazement, the shopkeeper couldn't even speak, and in the end, he swallowed his saliva exaggeratedly.
Obediently, growing so big, living together has always been a legendary existence for him, but he didn't expect to be able to see it in his lifetime.
Xu Jinlang nodded, his face was a little ugly, he didn't stay in this town for long, but looking at the shopkeeper like this, he could guess that the people in this town were still very conservative, even in those cities outside, this phenomenon was already very common, but in this town, I am afraid it is still easy to be criticized.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinlang hurriedly interrupted the shopkeeper's words, glanced around vigilantly, and saw that no one noticed the movement here, so he looked at the shopkeeper with a serious face.
"Jian Lan and I are about to get married, I don't have a place to live now, what's wrong with living with her?
Seeing the shopkeeper nodding, Xu Jinlang said in his heart that this was indeed the case, but there was no change on his face, and he continued.
"Forget it, Jane likes it very much, and I don't want her to be pointed at, can you help me see if there are any houses for sale near Jane's house?"
Hearing Xu Jinlang's words, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
"I'll go and ask now, Miss Jane's area is very secluded, far from the town, there should be, you wait first, I'll tell you the result in the afternoon." ”
Xu Jinlang breathed a sigh of relief, although he couldn't enter the room, but it was good to be able to live next to Jian Lan.
The two said a few more words, Xu Jinlang couldn't wait to get up and leave, and before he was about to go out, he was stopped by the shopkeeper again.
The shopkeeper handed Xu Jinlang a bag, and in Xu Jinlang's puzzled gaze, he explained innocently: "This is the clothes you changed out of that day, and my mother picked them up and washed them for you." ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Jinlang had the impression that he was not a wasteful person, usually his clothes were cleaned by a special person, this time when he came to Rongcheng, in addition to bringing a money clip, he brought himself, and the change of clothes on his body was also bought by the staff of Baoyue.
President Xu Da has never done this kind of laundry work, and in the face of his changed clothes, he threw them into the trash can without hesitation, but he didn't expect the owner's mother to help him pick them up and wash them.
Glancing at the shopkeeper who was still smiling, Xu Jinlang felt a warm current in his heart, he reached out to take the bag, and thanked the shopkeeper again before leaving.
Xu Jinlang never wore this dress again, and many years later, Jian Lan once sorted out the things of the two of them and turned out this well-preserved dress from the wardrobe, and there was not even a single fold on it.
But when she asked about this dress, Xu Jinlang hesitated and didn't speak, but there was a warmth in his eyes.
Of course, that was later, at this time, Xu Jinlang strode through the alley with his bag, and soon arrived at the cake shop.
The store is very quiet, only Ah You is watching the store.
When he went to the baking room and took a look, there was no Jian Lan, Xu Jinlang put down the things in his hand, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and asked Ah You:
"Where's Jane?"
Obviously, Ah You didn't like Xu Jinlang very much, he glanced at Xu Jinlang, put aside his big head, and aimed the back of his head at Xu Jinlang.
Hey, Xu Jinlang laughed angrily, this stupid big man looks stupid, but he is quite arrogant, and he actually threw his face at him!
Patience! Patience! Taking a few deep breaths, Xu Jinlang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Ah You again.
Ah You didn't speak immediately, but was silent, silent, and silent again, until Xu Jinlang was about to explode, he reluctantly spoke:
"I went to those restaurants to pay back. ”
When he said this, his head hung low, and there was undisguised grievance in his voice, like a child abandoned by his parents.
But isn't it, Ah You felt that he had been abandoned by Jian Lan at this time, for three days in a row, Jian Lan did not appear, obviously said that he would go back that day, and he went to the restaurant to eat by himself in the past few days, but Jian Lan never came back. ,
In the past three days, even if Jian Lan would call him, he still couldn't help but panic.
Before meeting Jian Lan, he was a street boy in this town, he didn't know who he was, he didn't know who his parents were, and he relied on other people's handouts every day to fill his stomach, and even, he couldn't fill it.
At that time, he was always bullied by some children, and he heard the parents of those children tell them not to bully him, saying that he was very pitiful, and he also heard that some naughty children would say to them if they didn't study and just played, and their parents would say to them: "If you don't study hard, you will be like that Hanako, stupid and stupid, he's abandoned by their parents because he is too stupid and doesn't study well." ”
Then, every time the adults said that, the little ones would start to learn from it.
He didn't understand, but he felt so uncomfortable when he heard that his parents didn't want him because he was so stupid.
In the past three days, he always couldn't control the thought in his mind: Is it because he is too stupid, so Jian Lan dislikes him and doesn't want him anymore, otherwise, why hasn't he come back for three days in a row?
It wasn't until he just saw Jian Lan and the good-looking man in front of him appear in the cake shop that he somewhat understood: it turned out that Jian Lan didn't want him anymore, but the man next to Jian Lan made it bad!
