Chapter 6 Back to River Street
"Gao Hongfei really has a girlfriend? He obviously asked me about you a few days ago, so Gao Hongfei is not that kind of person? Liu Jing was puzzled and couldn't help but mutter.
Jiang Yuanjun was angry, but he could only say patiently: "We have been in the same class for four years, isn't it normal for him to ask me, it's obvious that you think too much about yourself." "No, he ...... Oh, what's this called! Liu Jing was very angry.
Jiang Yuanjun said angrily: "What's the matter, it's normal, it's that you think too much about yourself." Liu Jing closed her mouth depressedly. Jiang Yuanjun's ears are finally quiet, thank God.
Jiang Yuanjun was always distracted all afternoon, and originally planned to write three lesson plans to complete all the homework, but in the end, he only wrote two lesson plans.
Regarding Mr. Hu's statement that Gao Hongfei has a girlfriend, Jiang Yuanjun was skeptical. Gao Hongfei has been inquiring about her over the years, and he came to her several times during the holidays of the first two years of college, but he had the intention to avoid it, and Gao Hongfei failed again and again. All of these Mr. Hu must know that Mr. Hu doesn't like himself, and he is afraid that his son will reunite with him.
The so-called Gao Hongfei has a girlfriend is a lie made up by Mr. Hu, but she really lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Yes, she liked Gao Hongfei, and until now she still smiles from the bottom of her heart when she recalls the time she spent with that kind and enthusiastic teenager.
But so what, don't say that Teacher Hu hates her so much, even if she likes herself, Jiang Yuanjun feels that she has encountered such unbearable things one after another, and it is impossible to be with Gao Hongfei in this life. Gao Hongfei is beautiful in her heart, and she doesn't want Gao Hongfei to know about the ugly and cruel things that happened to her.
was really afraid to face Xu Mo, and after coming out of school, Jiang Yuanjun went to the old house on the other side of River Street. When I entered the house, my grandmother was stepping on an old-fashioned sewing machine, and the old lady was wearing a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, and she was pressing the waistband of a pair of black pants very seriously, looking at changing the zipper for someone. My grandmother is seventy-one years old this year, but her eyes are still good.
When my grandmother was young, she learned the tailoring trade from her grandfather's mother, and she relied on this to earn money to support the family. It's just that nowadays most people buy ready-made clothes, and few people go to tailor shops to make clothes, but there is a high demand for changing the size and length of the zipper and ironing. Grandma was conscientious and kind, and acquaintances in the neighborhood came to her whenever they needed it.
The old lady looked up and saw that her granddaughter was very happy, and then saw the vegetables in Jiang Yuanjun's hand, and said angrily: "I just bought tomorrow's vegetables this morning, Yuanyuan, you bought so much." β
"It's okay, just put it in the refrigerator if you can't finish eating." Jiang Yuanjun went into the house to change into home clothes, put on an apron and start cooking, she started these things from a young age, she was familiar with the road, and three dishes and one soup were quickly prepared. It just so happened that the grandmother over there was also busy, Jiang Yuanjun set up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two grandparents were about to eat, when their uncle Jiang Lidong came over.
Jiang Lidong came to pick up the pants, and Jiang Yuanjun knew that his grandmother's pants that had changed the zipper were his.
"Uncle, my aunt's rice is definitely not cooked this time, I cook a lot of rice, and grandma still has a big bowl of porridge left at noon, so you can eat it here first." Jiang Yuanjun greeted with a smile. Jiang Lidong agreed without hesitation, and Jiang Yuanjun quickly added a pair of dishes and chopsticks to the table.
Jiang Lidong repaired a few cars in a row today, and now he is really hungry. Jiang Yuanjun fried two meat dishes of shredded beef and back pot meat, as well as a plate of cabbage and a bowl of seaweed soup, Jiang Lidong ate two large bowls of rice before putting down the chopsticks, and then praised with satisfaction: "Yuanyuan stir-fried vegetables are much better than your aunt." β
Jiang Yuanjun smiled embarrassedly: "That's because my uncle is hungry today, and everything you eat is fragrant when you are hungry." Jiang Lidong shook his head: "Your aunt is a hairy butcher, and people with an impatient temperament can't do anything well." β
Jiang Yuanjun didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he asked: "Has Xiaoxiao called home in the past two days, I haven't seen him send a message for a few days." β
Jiang Lidong has a son and a daughter, and his daughter Jiang Xiangjun is two years older than Jiang Yuanjun, studied in a junior college, and went to work in a big city in the south after graduation, and then married there. His son Jiang Xiaojun is currently studying clinical medicine at a key university in southwest China and is in his third year.
Jiang Lidong shook his head: "No, I only played once last week, and I said that I started to enter clinical learning, and I was so busy flying." β
"Well, I was also called, saying that I had added a lot of courses, and I was exhausted. I didn't want this kid to study medicine if I knew it. Grandma shook her head and sighed as she spoke.
Jiang Lidong disagreed: "Mom, how can you say that, what to learn is not bitter or tired, and he is not alone." If everyone is afraid of hardship and tiredness, then who will be the doctor to treat everyone. β
"Yes, grandma, although Xiaoxiao said that she is tired now, it will be good to graduate, clinical medicine is good, you don't have to worry about finding a job, and the older you get, the more popular the doctor is." Jiang Yuanjun was busy comforting his grandmother.
The three generations of grandparents chatted for a while before Jiang Lidong left. After Jiang Lidong left, Jiang Yuanjun brought hot water to serve his grandmother to soak her feet.
Grandma rubbed her hair and asked, "Yuanyuan, I met Liu Jing a while ago, and I heard her say that a teacher in your school introduced you to a relative of her family, and it is said that the young man is a doctor who works in a company called something in Tianjin, why don't you tell me." How's that going, have you seen the boy? β
Liu Jing's big mouth, I'll settle accounts with you when I turn around! Jiang Yuanjun gritted his teeth secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "This, people just mentioned it casually, and then there is no follow-up, what will I tell you." β
Grandma's expression darkened, and she smiled and said, "Yes, the young man works in Tianjin, and it is so easy for you to go over there to find a job." In fact, my grandmother is not willing to let you marry so far away, you see that Xiangxiang is disobedient, you have to find a boyfriend in other places, and it takes a lot of effort to marry so far back to your parents' house. β
Jiang Yuanjun smiled and nodded: "That's it, if I marry far away, who will accompany you." Grandma patted Jiang Yuanjun's hand and sighed: "Grandma knows that Yuanyuan is a filial child, but you are almost twenty-six, I married your grandfather at the age of eighteen, and gave birth to your uncle at the age of nineteen." β
What kind of era did you have, and what kind of time can you compare it to now? Jiang Yuanjun secretly scolded himself, but he looked dog-legged on his face: "Who called my grandmother's great beauty so charming, it made my grandfather fascinated, and he didn't have the heart to repair the road, so he turned people home from thousands of miles away to get married in a panic." β
Regarding the romantic love story of his grandparents and grandmother, Jiang Yuanjun has heard a lot of old people on River Street. It is said that my grandfather was a technician who repaired the road back then, and when he built the road on his grandmother's side, he met the beautiful grandmother, and immediately pursued it frantically, and invited the leader to come to the door to propose marriage.
At that time, rural parents, who had young people in the city who ate national food and looked very good, asked to marry their daughters, but how could they not agree. With the consent of his sweetheart's parents, my grandfather was overjoyed, and it didn't take long for him to take his fiancΓ©e home to get married.
At that time, the national policy was that a woman could only register when she reached the age of 18, and the grandmother was still a month or two short of turning 18 years old and could not pull the marriage certificate. It is said that my grandfather was so anxious at the Civil Affairs Bureau that tears came out, and he pitifully begged others to be accommodating.
Hearing her granddaughter talk about what happened to her and her deceased wife, my grandmother smiled embarrassedly and sighed: "This life has passed so fast, and in the blink of an eye, your grandfather has been gone for almost ten years." If he is alive and sees that Xiaoxiao and you have been admitted to key universities, I don't know how happy he will be. β
Jiang Yuanjun pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak. Grandma may have felt that her smile was a little bitter, and she felt sad, took Jiang Yuanjun's hand, and said earnestly:
"Yuanyuan, it's been so many years since that incident, don't take it to heart anymore. In today's society, the girl's family has several men before getting married, and there are very few men who care about whether they are yellow flower girls. Don't feel that you are a dwarf and that someone is pursuing you, if you think it is good, be bold and get along with others. β
Jiang Yuanjun held the old lady's dry palm back, and his heart was ashamed and bitter. My grandmother was born in the countryside and was quite conservative, but in order to comfort herself, she said such a thing, which was really embarrassing for her.
How could she have made such a mistake back then? What a misstep and a thousand hatreds! That incident was a big stain on Jiang Yuanjun's life for more than 20 years, and she still doesn't want to think about it.
At that time, not long after Jiang Yuanjun entered college, he encountered the National Day holiday. Then Zhang Yi and Zhou Ziqin, both studying in Shanghai, came to Jiang Yuanjun, and it turned out that Zhou Ziqin's cousin, Zhou Zimeng, who was in his first year of high school, came to Shanghai to play. Zhou Zimeng's father bought a house and moved away from River Street after getting married, but Zhou Zimeng often went back to the old house on River Street to play, and he had a good relationship with Jiang Yuanjun.
Zhang Yi and Zhou Ziqin are two years older than Jiang Yuanjun, and they are already in their third year, and Jiang Yuanjun came by car with them when he came to school. Everyone is a child who grew up on River Street, and the relationship is already good, and now they are studying in college in the same city, and they take care of each other. On the day Jiang Yuanjun started school, Zhang Yi and Zhou Ziqin ran before helping her finish Zhang Luo.
"Moe Moe!" "Sister Yuanyuan, this is your school!" Jiang Yuanjun was very happy to see Zhou Zimeng, and Zhou Zimeng was even more elated when he saw Jiang Yuanjun, and the two hugged each other and screamed and jumped. That day, Zhou Zimeng was like a cheerful butterfly, and followed Jiang Yuanjun around the campus with high interest.
In the evening, a few people went to the Bund, there were too many people, shoulder to shoulder, but Zhou Zimeng was very excited. Everyone was tired of shopping, so they found a supper stall to eat. The people of the Zhou family are famous wine barrels on River Street, and everyone has already drunk a bottle of beer, but Zhou Ziqin shouted that he was bored with beer, so he had to order a bottle of liquor, and then the two brothers and sisters pulled Zhang Yi to drink it.
Jiang Yuanjun grew so big, and the liquor had never been touched, no matter how a few people persuaded her to take a sip, she was stunned and didn't move the wine glass in front of her, and a few people had to give up.
Zhou Zimeng took a sip of wine and asked Jiang Yuanjun: "Gao Hongfei, the top science student in our city this year, Sister Yuanyuan should know each other, right?" β
