Chapter 3 Gangnam Town
Chapter 3 Gangnam Town
Jiang Hao just walked down from the bridge. He carried a lot of things in his hands. And their suitcases. Where can I run past Qiao Xinwei who is empty-handed. But. He didn't complain. When I saw my grandmother, I was all smiles." Hello grandma. My name is Jiang Hao."
"Huh. Hello. Alas, the young man is really good-looking." The old man smiled from ear to ear. patted the back of Qiao Xinwei's hand and said. The girl has such a good eye...... JIANG Hao. I'm a girl with a bad temper and sloppy things. But people are absolutely kind. You're not wrong with her."
Qiao Xin was embarrassed. Blushing, he said, "Grandma. Where do I have a bad temper. I'm very serious."
"Look, look, look. Say a few words to you and you'll be in a hurry. The child has a very bad temper. Look at Jiang Hao. Looking more mature and stable than you. Don't bully people."
"How dare I bully him? Grandma, don't praise him. He'll be proud."
As soon as the two of them met, they couldn't stop talking. Very intimate. Jiang Hao didn't interrupt. Even if he's already sweating.
Grandma hurriedly said, "Gotta gotcha. Don't stand outside on this hot day. Come. Go home and say...... Girl. I'll help my uncle get something."
It's still a long way from my grandmother's house. Grandma said as she walked, "Huangmei Ji has just passed. It's getting hotter and hotter every day. You also didn't notify me two days earlier. I'm going to tidy up the house. Dry the quilt sheets. You just said it yesterday. This is in a hurry. The house was not cleaned up. I don't know if my uncle can get used to it."
"He can do it all."
Grandma pulls the heart only. Whispered: "The children in the city are delicate. I'm afraid that my uncle will not be good to you in the future."
Qiao Xinwei smiled and said, "It's okay. He is a soldier and can endure hardship."
When my grandmother heard this, she felt another burst of joy in her heart." It's good to be able to endure hardships. The girl is blessed."
"Huh. Grandma, how are you doing?"
"Good. Those who are not sick or painful can live for a few more years. I'm still waiting for each of you to have a baby and call me Atai."
The grandparents and grandchildren walked with laughter and laughter. I haven't seen you for four or five years. Extraordinarily affectionate. Jiang Hao walked behind with his things. There he is. There is no reason for a woman to carry things. They walk slowly. He silently followed. By the way, take a look at what has been done along the way. It's a small place though. But there's a lot of stuff. There's all sorts of weird stuff.
Jiangnan water towns. The houses are all built along the river. The eaves of each house extend out and are connected together. Walk by the river. Even if it's raining, you don't need an umbrella.
Meet several groups of people on the tour along the way. My grandmother said as she walked, "Over the years, the government has been doing tourism in our place. The old house is worth a lot of money. Broken leaks are given free repairs. And there are often workers who come to maintain it." The old man was in high spirits. As he spoke, he introduced Jiang Hao." Uncle. Wait until you get home and put your things down. Take a break, take a break. Just let Xinwei take you around."
"Okay. Grandma."
Grandma leaned into Qiao Xinwei's ear again. He whispered, "People are quite kind. Not bad...... Well. The more you look at him, the better. Righteousness. There's a style."
Jiang Hao's face was full of doubts. Knowing they're talking about him. But he was too embarrassed to interject and ask. I can only laugh dryly.
Qiao Xinwei covered her mouth and smiled. The bright sunlight here shines directly into her heart.
After walking in the alley for about ten minutes, I arrived at my grandmother's house. The gate is really not big. The two of them stood on the threshold and there was no place. But as soon as the door opened. Jiang Hao was a little shocked. There is a courtyard and a main hall inside. There are also wings of things. It has to fight with the old courtyard house in the capital.
Qiao Xinwei stepped in. Eyes lit up." Wow. The yard is so beautifully repaired. Grandmother. The osmanthus tree has been planted again. That's great. Wow. What a beautiful garden."
Grandma said happily, "Isn't it? There is still a gate that has not been repaired. The gate is widened to tear down the wall. They don't dare to move. Still thinking about the plan. Wait for the gate to be repaired. I'm here for a visit. You can get a ticket to get in."
"Ahh After the surprise. More of a surprise." Grandmother. This old mansion ...... It's back to the government."
Grandma smiled." Silly girl. And it wasn't given for free. The houses in Shuibei were taken away by the government. I made one condition. That's why I have to live here. I've lived here all my life. I don't want to adapt to a new place in the last few years. When you do the attractions, there will be more people. I've got to look at my house...... JIANG Hao. Hurry. Put it down. I want you to get tired enough."
Grandma said that there is nothing to prepare at home, which is really kind words. Everything is ready at home. Just wait for them to come.
"It's too much stuff. I'm glad you're here. No need to bring anything. Also occupy the place."
"Grandma. This is your grandson-in-law honoring you. I won't let him come empty-handed."
"Gotta get it. Rest for now. Still live in your mother's old room. What is missing buy now. I'll go to the old horse next door. Just Grandpa Ma's. Lunch is eaten at his restaurant. Come here when you're done."
"Huh. Okay."
Grandma is out again. Qiao Xinwei led Jiang Hao back to the room. This trip back is really earned. The old house was repaired cleaner than the hostel. The corner of the wall, which used to be black and covered with cobwebs, is now dedicated to an antique carved wall lamp. It's a different flavor.
The room is still the same as before. But after removing some clutter, it looks even bigger. Cool bamboo mats on the bed. As soon as you open the window, you can see the canal. Even Jiang Hao couldn't help but praise: "Didn't you say earlier that your grandmother's house is so comfortable. It's long overdue." He picked up the scrap of paper on his desk. Take a look. It says wifi account number and password. He said curiously. Hey. There's wifi too. It's so advanced."
He took off his shoes and went to the bamboo mat. Accustomed to sleeping on a hard bed in the barracks. Sleeping on this solid wood bed is not inconsistent at all." Tired. Come and rest first."
Qiao Xinwei also went up. Pillowed his arm and said, "Jiang Hao. From now on, we'll come to see my grandmother every year."
"Okay. Grandma is old. It should be." He gently imprinted a kiss on her forehead. Does my grandmother live alone?"
"Hmm. She is reluctant to leave Shuibei. It wasn't that good before. Inconvenient transportation. The house is old again. If it leaks, you can only fix it yourself. The river is heavily humid. When it rains, the river can flood into the house. My uncle and mother persuaded her several times. She won't leave."
Jiang Hao rolled over and pressed her under him. Said with emotion: "This is full of her memories. How could she be willing to leave."
"What do you want to do in broad daylight. Hey. A sweat all over the body. It stinks. Get out of the way."
Jiang Hao said: "Stink. It's called manhood." His whole body was pressed up. Repeatedly." Masculine. You know how masculine you are."
Qiao Xinwei pushed his chest. I was overwhelmed." Ahem, cough, cough. It's so heavy. Go away. It's almost flattened."
"Flat. I'll check and see."
"Hooligans. Don't touch me."
"Haha. I'm just going to see if it's squashed. Well. It seems to be a little flat."
"Hate. Go away."
Late afternoon. The heat is receding. The wind blows. Not to mention how cool it is. Qiao Xinwei took Jiang Hao around Shuibei. A lot of places are newly repaired. Press the last name to become a little viewing point. Even Qiao Xinwei didn't recognize it. Spinning around, she just threw down a sentence." See for yourself. I don't know."
It's a cool day. Shuibei is lively. Especially the square under the long bridge. It has become the favorite of aunts.
"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky. Let me keep you with my heart. Stay......"
What a familiar melody. Square Dance Divine Comedy.
It's been a long time. They sat and rested on the beauties on the shore. It's not pleasant.
It's a place where you can really calm down. Jiang Hao looked at Qiao Xinwei. The gloom on her face was finally replaced by a smile. Until today. He only saw her real smile. So beautiful. So fascinating. He hugged her from behind. His chin rested on her shoulder. Look at the calm river. He quietly said, "I'm sorry. It's always wronged you."
Qiao Xinwei smiled indifferently. Take those three words back. What you have to do. Not to say these three words to me. It's about doing my best to solve the people and things that have wronged me." She's also more direct. Since this marriage cannot be divorced. Then she can only bravely face those smoky struggles. She can only bear these grievances silently.
Jiang Hao retracted his arms and hugged her tighter. He promised, "I don't care if she's done with the operation."
"What about the rehabilitation treatment later. She's sick and in pain, looking for you, you can bear it."
"I'm not a doctor. Why is she looking for me when she's sick or in pain?"
"Of course you're speaking lightly now. I can't refuse you if you meet you."
"No, it won't. I said it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
"Hmm...... It's okay not to say these. I want to sit quietly for a while." Qiao Xinwei leaned back. Leaning directly on his firm, hot chest. If only this moment could freeze frame. How nice that would be. If you can stay in this comfortable and comfortable Jiangnan town all the time. How nice that would be.
Then. A ringing of the phone broke the silence of the moment. Jiang Hao took out his phone and looked at it. Embarrassed, he glanced at Qiao Xin's only eye.
"Take it. I can call at this time. Who else but Xiao Tianai." I hate the way he looks. Sorry with innocence. But you have to take it. She felt like she was going to break down sooner or later.
Jiang Hao moved his body. Picked up the phone." Feed. What's the matter?"
"Ah Hao. I moved back home. It's not so boring at home. Time passed in a flash."
"That's good."
"I recently watched a food show. Itchy hands and want to try it yourself. I asked my aunt to buy an oven. I'll send you some when I'm ready."
"Don't be busy. Take care of yourself."
"It's fine. Even if it's to pass the time. It doesn't take much effort. Didn't I use to do it a lot? You still love to eat...... Where are you?"
"With the heart is only at her grandmother's house. Come out and relax."
"Oh. Good. Then I won't bother you.88."
“88.”
Jiang Hao hung up the phone. He had a sense of Qiao Xinwei's difference. She is no longer interested in the content of Xiao Tianai's phone call. Or maybe you don't care about it anymore. He didn't know if it was good. Or bad. Merely. Watching her lean on the wooden fence and looking at the river in a daze. And he was distressed. Faintly distressed.
