136 The Year of Two

"You want to ask me how I know that there is an unpleasant quarrel between you and Xu Han?" Jiang Yan asked again, seeing the expectation flashing in Qi Jun's eyes, she pulled the corners of her lips and replied, "Guess." ”

"Qi Jun, do you know? All your emotions are written on your face. But if you have a heart, you can guess your mind as much as you want. ”

Jiang Yan put down this sentence and walked to the gate of the courtyard and stopped, looked back at Qi Jun and said, "Go back." Love yourself well before you can love others. You don't know Xu Han, and your self-embarrassment will only make Xu Han hate you more, and you won't feel a little distressed. ”

That night, as Jiang Yan said, Qi Jun waited until eleven o'clock and Xu Han did not come out. When she turned to leave, she saw Qi Rui standing behind her.

"Let's go back. He's not going to come out. Qi Rui approached Qi Jun and hugged her into his arms.

This warm hug made Qi Jun's nose, who was originally resigned, sour, and instantly felt particularly aggrieved and depressed, she hugged Qi Rui's waist and cried silently in his arms.

After a while, she choked up and complained: "Qi Rui, I really like him." I feel uncomfortable, why does his sister's death have anything to do with me, why does God always have trouble with me?!"

"Don't cry, you still have me. Qi Rui patted Qi Jun's quilt and comforted her in a low voice, "Let's go home." ”

On the second floor of Xu's house, Jiang Yan stood beside Xu Han and hid behind the curtain. Xu Han opened the gap in the curtains, watched Qi Rui lead Qi Jun away, and then put down the curtains.

"I care about her very much, why do I want to break up with her?" Jiang Yan turned around and leaned against the wall next to her to look at Xu Han and asked.

"Why did you fall out with Lin Xi, why did I break up with her. Xu Han replied coldly, turned around and was about to leave the room.

Jiang Yan looked at Xu Han's back and was about to walk to the door, and said, "According to what you say, the two of us are the most suitable." Because we have a common enemy. ”

Xu Han's figure paused at the door, and said without looking back: "The relationship I want either doesn't start, or it will last a lifetime." ”

"Coincidentally, so did I. Jiang Yan replied expressionlessly, and walked up to Xu Han's outstretched hand, "It seems that we can only be partners and cooperate happily." ”

"Fight for your life, are you willing?" Xu Han turned to look at Jiang Yanyun's breezy face and asked coldly.

"It coincides. Jiang Yan nodded, clenched her fists and raised them. Xu Han glanced at her fist, and after a long silence, he raised his hand and clenched his fist and collided with her fist, and said in a deep voice: "Happy cooperation." ”

From the moment Lin Xi arrived in Linjiang County, he felt Xu Han's rejection of him. Lin Iris also sensed that something was wrong with Xu Han, but they didn't ask Xu Han why.

After Jiang Yan and Lin Xi fell out at the Lin family, neither of them had any contact. When they met in Linjiang County, the two were also strangers, and even Lin Iris couldn't feel Jiang Yan's kindness before.

Seeing Jiang Yan helping Xu Han and accompanying him to keep vigil all night, Lin Xi felt quite uncomfortable. That look, in the eyes of outsiders, is such a tacit understanding and match.

On the night when Grandma Xu loaded the coffin, Qi Rui accompanied Qi Jun to the door of Xu Han's house again. Qin Ran was pasting paper money with Mr. Yin Yang in the courtyard at that time, and when he saw Qi Jun, he came out and asked.

"Qi Jun, what's the matter?"

"Can we go in and put incense on Grandma Xu and kowtow?" Qi Jun asked in a low voice, for fear that Qin Ran would refuse.

Qin Ran nodded and stepped aside, "Go in, the coffin will be loaded soon." ”

When the Qi Jun sisters and brothers entered the ancestral hall, they saw a group of people kneeling in front of the mourning hall, Mr. Yin Yang was wearing a black robe holding a yin and yang book, and he was chanting the words of the undead.

Xu Han glanced at Qi Jun, and his expressionless face did not change. Qi Jun and Qi Rui each took a stick of incense from Mr. Yin Yang and stood in front of the futon, following Mr. Yin Yang's instructions to bow and kowtow.

That night, Qi Jun and Qi Rui left after Grandma Xu loaded the coffin, and Xu Han never said a word from beginning to end, regardless of whether their sister and brother came or left.

The day of Grandma Xu's funeral was a sunny day, the sun was warm and warm, shining on people's bodies, which made the hearts of everyone who were immersed in grief feel some relief.

After returning from the cemetery, Lin Xi and Lin Iris said goodbye to Xu Han and returned to Licheng, and Chen Naifu also left Linjiang County in the afternoon of the same day. Xu Han didn't send them off, because their arrival was not notified by him, but by Qi Jun.

As for Jiang Yan, it was notified by himself.

So when Jiang Yan was leaving, Xu Han kept him, the reason was to let her stay with him for two more days, as for whether he was uncomfortable and needed Jiang Yan's company, only the two of them knew about it.

Xu Changbai did not show up at Grandma Xu's funeral for seven days, Xu Han was angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to ask his subordinates to immediately pull Xu Changbai out and let him kneel in front of Grandma Xu's grave to confess for three days and three nights.

The three members of the Qin family plan to return to City A after Grandma Xu's three-day "fire" is over. Before going back, they wanted to pick up Grandpa Xu, but Grandpa Xu said that he had stayed in that house for more than 70 years and was reluctant to leave.

He looked at the portrait of Grandma Xu and said to Xu Rushi with a smile: "Your mother is afraid of being alone in this life." When I was alive, I often talked about you, but you only came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year. ”

Xu Ru heard him mention Grandma Xu, and she was uncomfortable and shed tears again, but she held Grandpa Xu's hand tightly but couldn't say a word, and secretly blamed herself for not going home to see Grandma Xu when she was still alive.

"When your mother was alive, I was the only one with her, she died, how could I leave her alone here, don't you say? ”

Xu Ru lay on Grandpa Xu's lap and cried silently, Qin Minrui put his hands on Xu Ruye's shoulders and squeezed her shoulders comfortingly.

Xu Han and Qin Ran also had red eyes, so don't turn their faces. Jiang Yan, who was born with no ability to empathize, also blurred her eyes at this time, lowered her head, and tears fell to the floor.

"Let's go, let's go. Grandpa Xu slowly stroked Xu Ruye's hair, "Girl, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, don't worry too much, ah." ”

"Dad, when I go back to deal with my work, I'll come back to accompany you for the New Year. Xu Ru looked up at Grandpa Xu and forced a smile, Grandpa Xu smiled and wiped her tears for her and nodded.

"Grandpa, I'm staying with you for the New Year, not leaving. Qin Ran suddenly made a decision, looked at his parents and asked, and after getting permission, he opened his mouth.

"What are you staying for? Grandpa Xu smiled and said, "There is no good object left in this house that has been smashed up and down inside and out, what is the need to stay? ”

The three members of the Qin family returned to City A at the insistence of Grandpa Xu, and Jiang Yan and Xu Han also returned to Licheng after chatting that afternoon, without staying long.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Before that, Xu Han added furniture to the house, and the old objects that were smashed before could not be found to be the same, in order to prevent Grandpa Xu from touching the scene, Xu Han simply changed all the different ones, and even the furnishings at home changed.

As a result, he was grabbed from bed by Grandpa Xu early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve and asked him to make the layout and furnishings of the house the same as before.

"Grandpa, the furniture is different, how can it be arranged as it was?" Xu Han helplessly hugged the quilt and didn't get up.

"I don't care, if you don't move the furniture for me today, you will spend the New Year at home alone, and I will go to a nursing home for the New Year. Grandpa Xu let go, put his hands behind his back and turned around to go out.

Xu Han hurriedly rolled up from the bed, pulled Grandpa Xu's arm and compromised: "Grandpa, I'll move it for you immediately, how do you command, how do I move, okay?"

Therefore, on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Han moved furniture from early in the morning, according to Grandpa Xu's command, until three o'clock in the afternoon. Many families in Linjiang County have already begun to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, crackling firecrackers one after another, so lively.

Xu Han was tired and slumped directly on the sofa, and Grandpa Xu came over with his hands behind his back and kicked Xu Han's feet, squinting his eyes and said, "Hurry up and make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but it's a year?"

"Go, go, go. Xu Han got up with his life, "The young master's body is the life of a servant." ”

Grandpa Xu watched Xu Han walk past him, raised his foot and was about to kick at him, Xu Han jumped forward and leaned back to dodge, and asked as he entered the kitchen, "Grandpa, what do you want to eat, just say." ”

"Drunken shrimp, braised pork ribs, salt and pepper bamboo shoots, steamed sea bass, hairy crab, fried river shrimp with corn, ......"

"Why are they all meat dishes?"

"I'm willing!" Grandpa Xu scolded with a straight face, walked to the kitchen door, looked at the busy Xu Han and said, "What, you don't want to do it for me?"

"Do it, do it. I'll do it for you right away. Xu Han raised his hands to assure, and Grandpa Xu turned around with satisfaction and went to the living room to start pasting Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.

During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Grandpa Xu and Xu Han first divided the meal and placed it in front of Grandma Xu's spiritual seat, and then gave Grandma Xu incense, and after worshipping the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and after burning paper money and pouring wine, Xu Han went to the courtyard and set off firecrackers and high-altitude cannons.

The grandfather and grandson watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating Chinese New Year's Eve, even if there were only two people in the entire family, they did not seem cold when Xu Han was active.

After the meal, Xu Han received a call from Lu Xiujie as soon as he finished washing the dishes, and Lu Xiujie asked him on the other end: "Xu Han, why didn't you say anything when your grandmother died?"

"There's not much to say. Xu Han replied lightly, he didn't hear the blame implied in Lu Xiujie's tone.

If it weren't for Qi Jun, he wouldn't even inform Lin Xi and Chen Naifu. Jiang Weixing and Ji Liangcheng still don't know that his grandmother has died.

He is used to carrying everything alone, and he is not willing to be hypocritical.

"Are you afraid that I will see Qi Jun?" Lu Xiujie's tone was a little bad, in his opinion, Xu Han just didn't treat him as a brother.

"Lin Xi and Chen Naifu, I didn't say either. Xu Han took another sentence.

Lu Xiujie suddenly lost his words, and according to the meaning of Lin Xi's words, Xu Han only told Jiang Yan. Not only Lin Xi couldn't figure it out, but he also couldn't understand why Xu Han only informed Jiang Yan.
