Chapter 183: A face thicker than the city wall

She was in a trance for a moment, sat with the little guy on her lap, and asked gently, "What, don't you like to be at grandma's house?" ”

The little one pressed his face to her chest and replied sullenly, "Loved being at home." ”

Jiang Guangguang's heart was full of mixed feelings for a while, he touched the little guy's head, and said softly: "Let's go home after playing here for a while." ”

She was a little distracted when she said this, but the little guy didn't notice her strangeness, nodded heavily, and responded happily.

The little one was tired and fell asleep after a short time in bed. However, Jiang Guangguang couldn't sleep, so he took out the luggage he brought and sorted it out.

She didn't feel sleepy, she didn't feel tired, and she went downstairs after cleaning up. Nothing has changed here, it's pretty much the same as before.

Downstairs, Zhong Xin was talking to her aunt about what dishes to cook at night, and when she saw Jiang Guangguang going down, she asked, "Why do you sleep for a while after sitting in the car for so long?" ”

Jiang Guangguang smiled and said that he was not tired. Zhong Xin poured her a cup of tea. I went to the kitchen again and brought snacks out. Mother and daughter sat together and talked.

Zhong Xin had a problem with Jiang Guangguang in those years, but the relationship between her and Jiang Guangguang was different from the relationship between other mothers and daughters, although she felt uncomfortable thinking about it, she didn't mention anything, and she didn't ask about those details.

She even thought that if Jiang Guangguang was brought up by her own hands, and they were the same as other mothers and daughters, then she wouldn't hide alone when she was most helpless.

However, in this world, there will never be ifs.

Jiang Guangguang hasn't been back for several years, and this time he came back, he had to go to the small courtyard.

She didn't plan to stay here for long, so she took the little one with her the next day. Zhong Xin originally said that she wanted to go with her, but she didn't let her, let her be busy with herself, she just went over to take a look and came back.

The yard was deserted, but not broken. Listening to Zhong Xin's meaning, this side is all taken care of by Zhoulai.

Jiang Guangguang stood at the door and was a little stunned, went in and stayed for a while, and saw that there was nothing to clean up, so he took the little guy to the cemetery of his grandparents and father.

She is unfilial enough, the little guy is so old, and she didn't bring him back for them to see.

probably felt that Jiang Guangguang was different today. The little guy is very well-behaved today, and he doesn't make any trouble at all when he sits in the car.

When he arrived at the cemetery, he was even more well-behaved. Jiang Guangguang touched his head and asked him to stand on the side, while she knelt in front of her grandparents' graves and burned paper money.

Her heart was so heavy that she was almost immersed in her own thoughts. Before the paper money was burned, the little guy suddenly said, "Mother, uncle." ”

Jiang Guangguang didn't hear it clearly at first, until the little guy repeated it again, and she looked in the direction the little guy pointed.

No, the person standing smoking not far away is not who Cheng Rongjian is. Jiang Guangguang was stunned.

Cheng Rongjian just didn't dare to come over before, but felt the eyes of the mother and son, so he simply snuffed out the cigarette butt and walked over.

I have to say that he has a very thick skin.

Jiang Guangguang didn't say a word, still burying his head and burning paper money. And the little one, who was sure that it was him, cheered uncle, and threw himself into his arms from a distance.

He's a bit of a dusty guy, and he doesn't know when he came here.

Cheng Rongjian didn't touch Jiang Guangguang's scales, nor did he talk to her, but just talked to the little guy in a low voice. Teach the little ones to kowtow to the elders.

When the little guy kowtowed, he also knelt, and told the little guy gently how to call the elders, which made him take advantage of it.

This worship seemed to be warm and affectionate, and on the way down the mountain, Jiang Guangguang's face turned cold.

She originally wanted to ask Cheng Rongjian why she came over, but she couldn't control where people went, so she didn't say anything anymore and walked her own way without saying a word.

Cheng Rongjian hugged the little guy and followed behind, and when he was about to get down the mountain, the little guy suddenly called his mother with a milky voice.

Jiang Guangguang can show Cheng Rongjian's face, but he can't show the little guy's face. He stopped, answered, and reached out to hug the little one.

The little guy hugged Cheng Rongjian's neck and refused to let go, and asked in a milky voice: "Mom, I'm hungry, is it okay to eat with my uncle?" ”

What does the little guy know, this eighty percent was taught by Cheng Rongjian. Jiang Guangguang was a little sullen, and replied without thinking about it: "No, we will have something to do later." ”

It's rare for her to come back, so she has to go to see Aunt Luo.

The little guy was obedient all the way, but now his mouth was flattened. looked like he would cry at any time, hugged Cheng Rongjian's neck tightly, and said with a blank eye: "But I miss my uncle." ”

Jiang Guangguang suddenly remembered when he was going to bed yesterday afternoon, and he asked when he would see his uncle.

Her heart suddenly became very sour. The little guy is almost not clingy, even Guo Shu, he is not so sticky.

That's probably the wonder of bloodline.

She had mixed feelings at this moment, looking at the little guy's blank eyes, and she couldn't say anything more if she refused.

Cheng Rongjian has always been an inch-by-inch, and Jiang Guangguang's words were also unspeakable, so he couldn't help but look at the little guy's grievances, turned around and continued to walk down the mountain.

The little guy in the back didn't know what to say, so Cheng Rongjian explained in a low voice. The little one's voice immediately became cheerful, and he said, "Mommy." We're going to eat a lot of delicious food, I'm going to eat chicken thighs, I'm going to eat delicious sugar. ”

This guy's face became very fast, Jiang Guangguang was very depressed, ignored the two people behind him, and walked her own way.

The weather forecast predicted that it would be showers today, and when we reached the foot of the mountain, big drops began to fall. Fortunately, Cheng Rongjian came by car. I don't know how he knew they were here.

The summer rain came quickly, and Jiang Guangguang didn't insist on taking a taxi anymore. Took the little one and sat in the car.

Cheng Rongjian's car was carrying snacks and small toys, which was obviously premeditated. He's still in the dust, and I don't know where he got the car.

Jiang Guangguang also didn't speak in the car, the little guy was sensitive, knowing that she was unhappy, he changed his way to make Jiang Guangguang laugh and please her.

Although she didn't want to give Cheng Rongjian a good look, she still couldn't hold it back, and the lines on her face gradually softened.

Cheng Rongjian, who was in front, pretended to look at the mother and son in the back casually. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.

The rain was a bit heavy along the way, and Cheng Rongjian was probably selfish and wanted to stay with them for a while. The car didn't drive fast. Listening to the conversation between the little guy and Jiang Guangguang, a little smile appeared on his face from time to time.

Although it was slow, it was only an hour before I got back to the city. Cheng Rongjian's slender fingers tapped on the steering wheel, turned to look at the little guy, and said gently: "Make trouble, ask your mother what she wants to eat?" ”

He can be said to be crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and he does not ask his son's opinion. On the contrary, Jiang Guangguang's opinion was sought.

The little guy didn't care, and immediately asked Jiang Guangguang in a milky voice.

He knew how to avoid his edge, he asked Jiang Guangguang may not pay attention to him, but the little guy asked it was different.

Jiang Guangguang naturally knew what he was thinking, but since he had promised the little guy to eat together, he couldn't go back on it. Just ask the little one what he wants to eat.

The little guy's usual snacks are very strictly controlled, so he naturally picks up the snacks with great interest. In the end, it was Cheng Rongjian who decided.

It is quite noticeable for the three of them to stay together, especially Cheng Rongjian, although there is a scar on his face, his handsomeness has not diminished at all, and the return rate is very high.

He didn't realize it himself, and when he entered the store, he asked the waiter to take him directly to the private room.

He was still a gentleman, and after sitting down, he asked the little guy to hand the menu to Jiang Guangguang and let Jiang Guangguang order.

Jiang Guangguang ordered it with him and the little guy, he sat the little guy on his lap, and patiently pointed and taught him which dish was called and what it was called.

The little guy learned well, and when the waiter came over, he spoke to people in a milky voice.

The waiter was amazed, and repeatedly praised the little fellow for his cleverness. Cheng Rongjian was a little proud, and coughed twice with his fist lowered his lips.

The little guy is much happier when he is with Cheng Rongjian, he has always been an uncle and an uncle, and he is very tired.

The food here is light, but the taste is good. Jiang Guangguang was also hungry after a trip, and he was eating like a little guy.

Compared with the mother and son, Cheng Rongjian didn't move the chopsticks, peeled the plate of shrimp on the table clean, and then retreated in front of the mother and son.

The little one cried out for the fish, and he picked out the bones cleanly. Then feed it to the little one.

Probably because of that plate of shrimp, Jiang Guangguang was slightly distracted, and suddenly remembered that he had come a long time ago.

He has a pretty good memory.

It was only for a moment that she came back to her senses, but she didn't touch the peeled shrimp at all.

After eating, she will take the little one to Zhoulai's house. The little guy refused to go now, and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Guangguang thought that it was Cheng Rongjian who pouted, and was a little annoyed that he was soft-hearted, and he knew that he shouldn't have eaten this meal.

She couldn't resist the little guy's tears, so she finally took a step back and let the little guy play for a while before leaving.

The little guy should go, she didn't go with the two, let Cheng Rongjian take the little guy to the place where the children in the mall played, and she herself sat downstairs and waited.

The mall was a little deserted, and she sat and walked away. It wasn't until the little guy and Cheng Rongjian came back that she came back to her senses.

Cheng Rongjian was very interesting this time, and the two came back after more than ten minutes. However, Jiang Guangguang still didn't give him a good face. When he offered to send them, she didn't say yes with a dark face, and took the little one to get a taxi herself.

When she looked in the rearview mirror after driving the car for a long time, she realized that Cheng Rongjian was actually following them in the car.

Jiang Guangguang was a little tired, so he directly asked the driver to send them back to Zhong Xin's side. Cheng Rongjian knew what to do, the car stopped far away, and saw the mother and son get out of the car and enter the yard, smoke a cigarette before turning around.

When Huo Chongyun came back later, Jiang Guangguang knew that the small courtyard over there was going to be demolished. It's been a long time. It didn't have much of a special feature, and it was a matter of time before it was demolished.

Jiang Guangguang thought of it a long time ago, but when it was really about to be demolished, she was very uncomfortable. That old mansion is just a house for others, but for her, it is the warmest memory. That was the only place where she could find warmth.

Although Huo Chongyun learned about it in advance, the document will be sent soon. I heard that construction will start in a month. Even if he was reluctant, Jiang Guangguang was powerless to stop it.

Jiang Guangguang couldn't sleep after tossing and turning all night, and he fell asleep until dawn. Since the house is going to be demolished, it has to be packed up.

I couldn't go to see Aunt Luo yesterday, but she has to go over today. When she woke up, she realized that it was raining outside.

Originally, I was going to take the little guy with me, but Zhong Xin was worried that the little guy would catch a cold, so she wanted to let the little guy stay.

Jiang Guangguang didn't know what he was thinking, so he agreed after a while. didn't say goodbye to the little guy, and quietly left.

Although it was still early when she went to Zhou Lai's house, Zhou Lai had already gone to work. Aunt Luo is the only one left in the family. Probably because Zhou Lai didn't tell her about the little guy, she didn't mention a word, and only asked Jiang Guangguang where he had been all these years. And let her come back this time and not go again.

Jiang Guangguang just smiled and didn't answer. The relationship between her and Luo Yi is closer, and she talked about the demolition of the old mansion.

Luo Yi sighed and said, "I've heard your father talk about this a long time ago, and I heard that it is to create a special food street." You know, the houses over there are old. And the area of each house is not very large, and it has long been not enough for several generations to live. Demolition is something that many people are looking forward to. ”

Their family has lived there for quite some time, and she is still embarrassed to talk about it. She knew Jiang Guangguang's thoughts, and she didn't forget to enlighten and comfort her.

Jiang Guangguang smiled a little reluctantly, stayed to accompany Luo Yi to lunch and left. She didn't go back to Zhong Xin's side, and went back to the house directly.

The streets were deserted in the rain, and there were not as many people living here as before, and there was a smell of ruin everywhere.

Jiang Guangguang stood in the middle of the path and didn't move, just watching in distraction. She still remembers the feeling when she ran across this street every time she was a child after school, and she also remembers the warmth of her childhood when she held her grandparents on this path countless times.

And soon, these places, which carry many of her fond memories, will be gone.

Jiang Guangguang's heart was heavy, and he stood on the path for a long time, and then slowly walked towards the small courtyard.

The courtyard is still deserted, and there are not many things, but every thing left behind carries Jiang Guangguang's memory.

She had planned to come over to clean up, but now she didn't know where to start. She sat down on the Taishi chair, put her hand on her forehead, and was in a daze.

My heart was so empty, and I was in such an inexplicable pain. After a long time, she let out a long breath, went into the room to find the cardboard box, and slowly packed the books in the study.

After cleaning up for a while, she went out to throw out the garbage, and at a glance saw Cheng Rongjian standing by the rusty door.

He didn't know how long he had been here, and when he saw Jiang Guangguang, he said in a low voice, "I'll come over to see if there's anything you need my help with." ”

He was well informed.

Jiang Guangguang was a little distracted, probably because she knew that this side was going to be demolished, she seemed to be much more fragile, and she didn't say anything, but opened the door and let Cheng Rongjian come in.

The things here were all to be washed, and she didn't go to the kitchen to boil water for Cheng Rongjian, but walked to the study and continued to clean up the books.

Cheng Rongjian took off his coat and helped. Gao Jiang Guangguang couldn't reach the place, he took it down, Jiang Guangguang loaded it, and he was on the side to help pack it.

Most men are naturally good at these jobs, and his movements are sharp, and they are a little more realistic than Jiang Guangguang.

Seeing that he can really help. Jiang Guangguang didn't say anything to drive him away, and the two of them cleaned up silently. During this period, Cheng Rongjian's mobile phone rang several times, but he didn't answer, and finally turned off the mute directly.

Jiang Guangguang didn't care about it, and did what she had to do.

There are a lot of books in the study, as well as paintings and some essays that the old man traced before his death. A little bit of Jiang Guangguang was neatly installed.

She came a little late, and before the study was finished, it was dark outside. Jiang Guangguang looked at the time and remembered that the little guy had been alone over there for a day today, so he said, "That's it." I won't clean it up today. ”

Cheng Rongjian responded in a low voice, moved the packed things aside and put them neatly, and then went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

After waiting to pack up, he picked up his coat and said to Jiang Guangguang who was in a daze: "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

Jiang Guangguang came back to his senses, said no, and then opened the door and walked out. Today, her small courtyard is quite lively, and she is still under the eaves, when she sees a woman wearing a cheongsam and holding an umbrella standing at the gate of the courtyard.

She had been here for a while, but there was no doorbell here, and it was not easy to knock on this door, so she just stood outside and waited.

Jiang Guangguang was slightly stunned when she saw that face, but it was only a moment before she came back to her senses, and she didn't mean to avoid it, so she walked to the iron gate without saying a word.

Ding Junqing outside the door was somewhat embarrassed, and when Jiang Guangguang approached, she smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to disturb me." ”

Her tone was quite sincere, Jiang Guangguang glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Miss Ding is polite, you are outside the door and did not disturb me." ”

When she had said this, she opened the iron door.

When she said that, Ding Junqing was even more embarrassed, and almost subconsciously looked at Cheng Rongjian.

Cheng Rongjian's face was gloomy. Obviously with a bit of impatience. Ding Junqing suppressed all the embarrassment he had, and said softly: "I heard that you are here, I will come over to take a look." Called you and you didn't answer. ”

The few phone calls she made in the study just now were made by her.

Jiang Guangguang had no intention of getting involved in the matter between the two, he didn't have any expression on his face, and when Cheng Rongjian came out, he reached out and locked the door.

Cheng Rongjian didn't talk to Ding Junqing right away, and after a while, he asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Although he asked her, he didn't look at her.

The smile on Ding Junqing's face was a little reluctant, and he said, "It's okay, just" She said here and subconsciously went to see Jiang Guangguang.

Jiang Guangguang had already locked the door at this time, and he didn't say hello, so he left directly. Even with a drizzle on her head, she didn't go back to get an umbrella.

It's just that she hasn't taken a few steps before Cheng Rongjian grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice, "I'll send you back." ”

Jiang Guangguang looked up at him, his eyes swept over Ding Junqing, who was still standing in place, and said with a smile: "No, thank you for your help this afternoon." I can go back myself. ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to break away from Cheng Rongjian's hand. This is undoubtedly rusty again.

Cheng Rongjian's eyes were gloomy, he pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "It's raining, don't catch a cold." ”

He naturally refused to let go of Jiang Guangguang's hand, and dragged her to his car after speaking. The difference in strength between the two is huge, and Jiang Guangguang can't break free at all.

She was more or less annoyed, and it was not easy to make too much trouble at this time, so she had to lower her voice and cry out in annoyance: "Let go of me." ”

Cheng Rongjian didn't care about her, when she got to the side of the car, she opened the door and stuffed her into the passenger seat, and said in a soft voice: "Wait for me for a while, I'll be back immediately." ”

His tone was very soft, and without waiting for Jiang Guangguang to speak, he locked the car door and walked towards Ding Junqing, who was standing in the rain with an umbrella.

I don't know what he said to Ding Junqing, but he came back in less than three minutes. Ding Junqing was still standing in place, and he didn't care.

When he opened the car door and got into the car, Jiang Guangguang, who was locked in the car, did not have any expression on his face. I couldn't open the car door and couldn't get down, so I simply closed my eyes when I saw him.

Cheng Rongjian laughed lowly, took out a dry towel and handed it to her, and said in a low voice: "Wipe the rain from your hair, don't catch a cold." ”

Jiang Guangguang ignored him and didn't open his eyes. Cheng Rongjian handed it over for a while and saw that she didn't respond, so she leaned over and wanted to wipe her hair.

It's just that this approaching Jiang Guangguang was like a fried hedgehog, and he immediately opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and called Cheng Rongjian, and said, "Don't take an inch." ”

As she spoke, she pulled the towel from his hand.

Cheng Rongjian was not annoyed, smiled slightly, looked at her and said slowly: "I don't dare to get an inch." ”

His tone was quite serious, and now it was Jiang Guangguang's turn not to speak. He wiped his hair haphazardly and threw the towel aside.

Cheng Rongjian quickly started the car, and when Jiang Guangguang looked in the rearview mirror, he found that Ding Junqing had not left, and was still standing at the gate of the small courtyard, looking weak and pitiful in the rain.
