Chapter 34: Craftsmanship

After Jia Tian'er finished the meal for a while, Jia Hongyu also changed her clothes and came out, so we sat down and started eating. I tasted every dish first, and it tasted really good, no worse than my mother's craftsmanship. I hurriedly complimented, "Wow, it's delicious, it looks like you're not bragging." Jia Tianer said: "Of course, when have I ever bragged." Jia Hongyu said: "Our sweetness may be dry, cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes, doing hygiene, these housework are proficient in everything, don't be too happy if you marry her." ”

I was shocked when I heard this, but I didn't expect her mother to say such a thing when she saw me for the first time, and her face turned red all of a sudden. Jia Tian'er smiled: "Mom, can you speak more subtlely, this little handsome guy is relatively thin-skinned." Jia Hongyu stretched out her head to look at me and said, "Well, it's true, my face is red." "I thought to myself, oh my God, there must be a mother and a daughter, neither of them knows what shyness is, and I will get along with them in the future, and I really have to adapt to it.

Jia Hongyu is also a very lively person, very easy to get along with, she and Jia Tianer chattered non-stop at the dinner table, very lively, I like this atmosphere very much, although I can't interject anything, but listening to them talk, feeling their happiness, I am also very happy.

I ate very slowly, and I was only halfway through eating, and the two of them finished eating, and then they just chatted and watched me eat. I felt a little embarrassed, so I sped up as fast as I could, trying to finish it quickly. Jia Hongyu said: "You eat slowly, don't worry, the two of us eat faster." Jia Tianer said: "If you really think it's delicious, eat more and eat all the dishes, so that I will be very happy." I said, "It's delicious, I'm sure I'll eat it all." ”

Although I was thin, I didn't eat much at all, and I ate all the food on the table, and I didn't even drink a drop of soup. Jia Tianer and her mother were very happy to see it.

After eating, I asked to wash the dishes, but Jia Hongyu grabbed me and said, "How can there be any reason to let guests wash the dishes." I said, "Yesterday I had dinner at my house, and I also washed the dishes for Tian'er." Jia Hongyu said: "Men and women are different, what can a man who washes dishes at home every day do." While we were talking, Jia Tianer had already quickly packed up all the dishes and chopsticks on the table and washed them in the kitchen.

Jia Tianer washed the dishes, Jia Hongyu pulled me to sit in the living room and chatted, she was very talkative, and she didn't treat me as a junior, just like a friend to communicate with me. From the conversation, I learned that Jia Hongyu got married at the age of twenty, and then gave birth to Jia Tianer that year, and she is not yet forty years old this year, no wonder she looks so young.

Jia Tianer's parents both went to the city to work after graduating from junior high school, in the same textile factory, Jia Tianer's father was very handsome, the two fell in love at first sight, and soon got married and gave birth to Jia Tianer. But both of them have no relatives in the city, and their incomes are low, and their lives are very embarrassing. Jia Tianer's father couldn't stand this kind of life, so he left their mother and daughter and ran away, and never appeared again. Jia Hongyu was thrifty, and finally pulled Jia Tianer big, and the hardships she suffered were innumerable.

I looked at the woman in front of me, although I didn't know how much she had suffered in her life, she was still so cheerful and optimistic, and she had educated her daughter so generously and sensibly, I couldn't help but have a little more respect for her in my heart.

Since then, I have often called Jia Tianer to come to my house for lunch, and often bought vegetables in the afternoon to go to her house, saying that I want to taste her craftsmanship, but in fact, it is to help her family save money on food. After all, my father is now a core member of my uncle's company, and his income is much higher, because I am away from home most of the time when I go to school, and my mother has also gone out to find a job, and the conditions at home are much better than before.

The New Year is approaching in a few days, and Jia Hongyu took Jia Tianer back to her hometown for the New Year. Jia Tianer's hometown is also a village similar to the small mountain village of my childhood, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, they will go back almost every year for the New Year, no wonder we used to go to the small mountain village when we graduated, everyone complained on the road one by one, but Jia Tianer, this young lady, laughed along the way, did not feel tired at all, it turned out that she was also used to walking mountain roads.

This winter vacation seems to be very short, the New Year came back to school before the fifteenth day of the first month, Jia Tianer did not return to the city from her hometown until the day before the start of school, I only met her in a hurry and went to school.

Without Lin Qian, my life seemed to feel empty, and I had to replan my study life. In the last month of last semester, that is, after Lin Qian left, I suddenly felt that my life had lost its meaning, I didn't want to go to class, I felt bored from working, and I didn't bother to talk to people. After learning about Jia Tian'er's family and life this holiday, I seemed to rekindle my hope for life, she and her mother still gained such optimism and confidence in such difficult living conditions, and she has been so good in her studies, full of hope for the future, what reason do I have to be depressed. Since I agreed to be her boyfriend, I must have a performance worthy of her, although I don't know if I can go on with her forever, but I at least can't be a drag on her, so that her life can be better in the future.

Therefore, I made a new study and life plan, which is to attend classes during the day, play football and exercise after class in the afternoon, insist on self-study at night, visit the library at least one day on weekends, and actively participate in some activities on weekdays. Last semester, because I didn't get a scholarship at all, I also failed to get a subject, such an obvious regression, which led to me being asked by the class teacher to talk, but it did not affect my efforts this semester at all.

In the eyes of my classmates, I seemed to have been resurrected this semester, and they were shocked one by one, and they once thought that Lin Qian was back. In the evening, the six of us in the dormitory were divided into three groups, Zheng Xu and I went to study at night, Fan Rupeng was alone and disappeared, and the other three were either playing cards or games.

Zheng Xu usually goes to the professional classroom of our class for self-study at night, and if he needs to check materials, he will occasionally go to the library. There are not many people in our class who go to the professional classroom in the evening, about one-third of the class, and it seems that the girls are more interested in learning. I used to study with Lin Qian in the library at night, but this semester I started to follow Zheng Xu to the professional classroom, so the group of students who used to study in the professional classroom thought it was strange to see me.

On the first day, I went to the professional classroom for self-study, and as soon as I entered the classroom, Fan Chunhua said strangely: "Yo yo, Xu Xuan, why are you here, rare guest." I said, "I'm going to study on my own, can't I?" Fan Chunhua said: "It's been a year and a half since college, and this is the first time I've seen you come to study at night." I said, "I used to study at night, but I always went to the library, I don't believe you ......." I originally wanted to talk about Lin Qian, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I thought quickly in my mind that I used to meet someone in our class in the library, and suddenly thought of it and said, "Ask Wenfang." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a "oh ......" sound in the classroom. Fan Chunhua pointed at me and smiled: "Could it be that you and Wen Fang ...... Yes? I hurriedly explained, "No, I just meet her often, and she has nothing to do with her." Fan Chunhua sighed and said to Xue Yunyan: "Yunyan, it seems that your competitors are endless, I feel sorry for you." When she said this, everyone burst out laughing. Xue Yunyan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "What are you talking nonsense about." ”

I also felt a little embarrassed, so I hurriedly sat down next to Zheng Xu, took out the book and read it. After a while, Fan Chunhua and Yang Qin sat down in front of me, turned their heads and knocked on my table and said, "Hey, ask about something." I looked up at the gossip on both of their faces, knew that it was nothing good, and said, "I'm studying seriously, so I don't have time." Fan Chunhua said: "Don't be hypocritical, I've been reading the book for so long, I can't take a break for a while." I reluctantly put down the book and said, "Tell me, what's the matter." Fan Chunhua said: "That Jia Tianer said that she was your new girlfriend, is it true?" ”

I knew she was going to ask this, and I didn't want to give the image of an ex who had just left and immediately had a new girlfriend, so I said, "She's joking." Yang Qin said: "I'll just say, how can it be so fast, my ex-girlfriend has only been gone for a few days, and I have a new girlfriend." Fan Chunhua said: "I went to the hospital with Yunyan that day, and what Jia Tian'er said was decent, we thought it was true." I said, "She and I are high school classmates, and we know each other very well, and we often joke around." ”

Fan Chunhua said: "Then just now you said that you and Wen Fang ...... What's going on? When I heard this, my head grew and I said, "Don't talk nonsense, I just go to the library and often run into her, and I haven't said a word." Yang Qin said ill-intentionedly: "Really? I said, "Can you not be so bad, listening to the wind is the rain." Fan Chunhua said: "What are you anxious about, we just care about you." I said, "Thank you for your kindness, you don't need to care about who you care about." ”

Fan Chunhua said to Yang Qin: "Let's go, we guessed right." Yang Qin stood up and said as he walked: "Well, it seems that Yun Yan still has hope." Fan Chunhua said: "That's it, let's quickly tell Yun Yan that she is restless all day long." ”

I thought to myself, these girls are so boring, gossiping about these boring things all day long.
