Chapter 7: A Gathering of Three

The five-point appointment came as scheduled.

Jiang Xunze and Zhang Qingqing met at the door of the store, and as soon as the two met, there was an endless quarrel.

"Yo, Miss Zhang is here too."

Jiang Xunze said in a yin and yang tone, and said to the person opposite.

"Young Master Jiang, aren't you too?"

Zhang Qingqing was not to be outdone.

Jiang Xunze is Yang Cheng's hair younger, Zhang Qingqing is Yang Cheng's high school classmate, as his roommate, Yang Cheng usually eats, goes to class, and sleeps with Zhang Qingqing.

At that time, Jiang Xunze couldn't accept it, how could Yang Cheng ignore himself? Obviously, she is the one who has been with her for so long, how can she be disrupted by Zhang Qingqing who suddenly inserted her.

The two don't like each other, of course, only in bickering.

Yang Cheng also asked, how beautiful a girl you see, how handsome a young man, why can't you make a couple?

Zhang Qingqing said, 'I don't like Jiang Xunze's sissy. ’

Jiang Xunze also said that Zhang Qingqing is not his favorite type.

Okay, okay, it's not good to be a matchmaker!

Yang Cheng sat by the window, carefully studying the freshly made chocolate Oreo cupcake: Oreo cookie crumbs, chocolate chips and raisins were mixed as the base, and a layer of cream was inserted on top and a mini Oreo. That's it.

'But that's it,' Yang Cheng thought to himself.

Jiang Xunze and Zhang Qingqing stared at each other, one sitting opposite and the other sitting on Yang Cheng's right.

"Good afternoon, Chengcheng."

Jiang and Zhang said very tacitly.

"You guys have a tacit understanding." Yang Cheng quipped.

Zhang Qingqing didn't have any tacit understanding with Jiang Xunze, so she glanced at the cupcakes on the table.

"Is this what you did?"

Yang Cheng nodded, looked at Zhang Qingqing with a smug face, and seemed to say, 'What's the matter, I'm amazing!' ’

Jiang Xunze pointed to the cupcakes on the table.

"Can you eat this cake?"

Although the sale is a little different and a little rougher, the taste is still very good.

Yang Cheng was very unconvinced, frowning and questioning the two.

"What? Do you have an opinion? ”

"No, no." Jiang Xunze glanced at Zhang Qingqing.

Zhang Qingqing was also very cooperative, and also praised it.

Jiang Xunze picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, opened his eyes wide, as if he was eating something delicious in the world, and gave a thumbs up to express his approval. picked up another piece and stuffed it into Zhang Qingqing's mouth.

"Delicious, delicious!"

Looking at the extremely sincere eyes of the two, Yang Cheng's heart was full of pride.

Then he suddenly remembered the intention of about two of them.

"I've made an appointment with the store manager, since their store supports homemaking, I think we'll make a cake together, and you can go with me to Uncle Zhang's house to celebrate his birthday in the afternoon."

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Zhang Qingqing and Jiang Xunze made eye contact, and then refused.

"Don't worry, you've met a few times, you're afraid of any embarrassment."

"Okay then."

Then, the three of them divided their labor and began to make a birthday cake.

It is a two-tiered cake with yellow sides and green sides, and a layer of cherries, cantaloupe, apples, oranges, and pears. There is a longevity word in the middle of the two-layer cake, which means wishing for a long life.

After packing the cake, it was half past seven, and after Yang Cheng greeted the store manager, he took Jiang Xunze and Zhang Qingqing to Taoyuan Community.

The three of them came downstairs on the 8th, Yang Cheng was carrying a cake, Zhang Qingqing was holding a gift, and Jiang Xunze was empty-handed.

"Hey, Jiang Xunze, I'm afraid it's not good for you to treat Qingqing like this."

In the face of Yang Cheng's accusation, Jiang Xunze was also very knowledgeable and helped Zhang Qingqing hold things.

"Come on, Miss Zhang, don't be tired of you, I'll help you carry it."

Yang Cheng looked at it and thought, 'This is pretty much the same. ’

"I've already called Uncle Zhang, his son and daughter left an hour ago, and we're going now."

While speaking, the three of them had arrived at the door, rang the doorbell, and Uncle Zhang greeted the three with a smile on his face.

Before Yang Cheng and the three of them could open their mouths to speak, Uncle Zhang warmly welcomed the three of them first.

"Cheng girl is here, come in quickly."

"Hello Uncle Zhang!"

Zhang Qingqing's face was smiling.

"This girl is the Zhang Qingqing you often mention, she looks very beautiful. What is this young man's name, what is Jiang. ”

"Uncle Zhang, you don't have to remember what his name is."

Yang Cheng joked.

"Uncle, my name is Jiang Xunze, and I am Yang Cheng's hair."

Jiang Xunze was not as reckless as before, but said to Uncle Zhang politely. Isn't it all about making a good impression?

"Oh, yes. Jiang Xunze, you young man looks quite shrewd and capable. Not bad! ”

Uncle Zhang suddenly remembered, patted his head, saw that the three of them were carrying things in their hands, and hurriedly took it.

"You seem to have come and brought something."

As he spoke, he took the things and arranged for the three of them to come to the living room.

"Come, drink tea and drink tea."

Yang Cheng hurriedly took the tea he handed over and thanked him.

"Uncle, you don't have to be polite, I have been renting with you for more than half a year, you have always treated me well, today is your birthday, I also come to express my gratitude to you."

"Look at what you're talking about, come here, don't bring anything in the future, uncle doesn't lack anything."

"This is also a little bit of my heart, I hope you will accept it."

Uncle Zhang looked at the sensible girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I also see that it is not easy for you to be a girl outside, and it is also what an elder like me should do to help you. You don't have to be grateful to me. ”

Hearing Uncle Zhang say this, his eyes were also a little moist, and he pointed to the things that were put aside.

"This is a cake that the three of us made for you, I heard that you have a bad neck, so I bought you a massage. When your son and daughter are not around, you should take care of your body more often. ”

As he spoke, he disassembled the massager and put it on the uncle's neck.

Seeing Yang Cheng's incomparable sincerity, Uncle Zhang was also moved.

"This son and daughter are not around, and they are indeed a little lonely. Fortunately, Dabao is with me, and sometimes when I want to talk to someone, Dabao can still listen. ”

Saying that, Uncle Zhang also seemed to go back to the time when his wife was still there and his son and daughter were still young. Seeing that Uncle Zhang's expression was a little sad, Yang Cheng began to enliven the atmosphere.

"Don't keep thinking about the past, let's look forward, you see how happy we usually play cards with our neighbors, play mahjong, chat, and yo-yo birds."

"Yes, just the old man downstairs with me, his daughter came back from a divorce, and his son-in-law didn't agree to the divorce, so he brought his family to apologize, which is good."

I didn't expect Uncle Zhang to usually like to listen to idle gossip. All three couldn't hold back their laughter.

Uncle Zhang looked at his watch again, and then remembered that he had already prepared a meal.

"You see it's half past eight, I heard that you are coming, I have already cooked the meal, come on, come and eat." Whether the cooking is good or not, you can eat it alive. ”

The three of them moved to the restaurant, looked at the table full of food, and couldn't help but admire, "Uncle Zhang, your cooking skills are really good." There are quite a lot of tricks to do. ”

"Too much reputation."

Uncle Zhang is also modest.

After being full of wine and food, the three of them chatted with Uncle Zhang again and left.

When he came downstairs, Jiang Xunze proposed to go to the bar to drink again, and Zhang Qingqing left first under the pretext of having something to do temporarily.

"Jiang Xunze, why do you say that people are so difficult?"

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Cheng held the glass, looking at the light refracted by the wine glass, and his eyes were sad.

"What's so difficult, aren't they all like this?"

Taking a sip of liquor into his throat, Jiang Xunze replied calmly.

"You say, this Uncle Zhang, his wife has passed away for three years, his son and daughter are in other places, and he only comes once during the New Year's holidays, and no one is with him, how lonely he should be."

After that, a sip of wine is too much. Jiang Xunze realized that something was wrong with Yang Cheng, woke up to his senses, and looked at the person in front of him.

"Chengcheng, you?"

"I'm fine! What can I do? ”

Yang Cheng's drunken eyes were hazy, he vetoed it, and patted Jiang Xunze's shoulder with one hand and smirked.

"You're drunk."

Jiang Xunze looked at her with a solemn face.

"I'm not drunk, I can still drink some."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine next to him.

Jiang Xunze saw that Yang Cheng opened another bottle of wine and snatched it, Yang Cheng took advantage of his strength to lie on the bar and was silent.

Jiang Xunze was stunned for a minute, and found that Yang Cheng was crying, and couldn't help but feel pity. He put Yang Cheng's head on his shoulder and patted her back while comforting.

"Jiang Xunze, I... I want to go home. Yang Cheng lay on his shoulder, tears blurred her vision, her consciousness was blurred, and she could only hear herself say this.

"Good, I'll take you home, don't be sad."

In this way, Jiang Xunze carried Yang Cheng on his back and took 503 on the fifth floor of Building 6 in Taoyuan Community, knocked on the door, and about five minutes later, Li Xinghe came to open the door in pajamas.

looked at a strange man carrying Yang Cheng on his back and looked at Jiang Xunze vigilantly.

"Who are you?"

"Jiang Xunze, Yang Cheng's hair is small."

"What's wrong with her?" Li Xinghe looked at Yang Cheng, who was drunk behind him, and asked.

"She's drunk, I'll send her back." Saying that, Jiang Xunze carried Yang Cheng to her room, lifted the quilt and put her on the bed, went into the bathroom to wet the towel and wiped her face.

Yang Cheng's consciousness was a little clear, and he saw Li Xinghe leaning against the door frame.

"Li Xinghe, who let you into my room?" Then he fell asleep.

This woman, when she was drunk, did not forget the rules of the shared house.

Jiang Xunze quietly closed the door and said a few words to Li Xinghe.

"She drank too much wine today, and her mood is a little unstable, so I'll leave first, you help keep an eye on her more, I'm afraid she will do something stupid."

Although Li Xinghe didn't know what was happening, he could only agree.

Jiang Xunze walked to the door, said goodbye and was leaving. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said the most important sentence yet.

"You! Don't take the opportunity to do anything to her! ”

"Okay."

Li Xinghe was laughed at by his remarks, and nodded helplessly. Jiang Xunze left steadily.

Li Xinghe quietly opened the door, saw Yang Cheng sleeping in Zhengxiang, and prepared to return to his room. I heard Yang Cheng's whimper, and said something from time to time.

'She seems to be having nightmares,' Li Xinghe thought to himself.
