Chapter 65: Home
Mother is supposed to be cooking, because the heat of the firewood is coming, and the warmth is like the warmth of home.
Jiang Hai stopped and watched carefully, except for the rows of dry goods outside the house, the rest still maintained the appearance of the last time they left home. As for the rows of dried goods, in addition to storing grain for the winter, they are more waiting for Jiang Hai to come back and taste them.
Everything is so familiar, the door is open as if waiting for his return, looking at Jiang Hai's eyes are a little moist, the warmest time can only be home.
And at this time, Jiang Hai felt a very powerful aura, and that aura also felt his presence, but after a slight touch, the aura dispersed without the slightest obstruction. It was sent by his father, and he must have thought that outsiders were coming, so he checked, and when he saw himself, he put away the probe.
Jiang Hai was only shocked in his heart. When he was a child, his father was a high mountain in his eyes, unclimbable and impossible to see, and now even in the middle of the realm of the sect, he can't see clearly. Then the realm of the father can be imagined, at least the realm of the sword god. It seems that his father is also a hidden master.
He listened with all his ears, and all the sounds in the room were clear.
"Madame, you may have cooked a little less rice today. Jiang Tao said very calmly.
"Less? How can it be! We usually cook so much, are you particularly hungry today?" Xia Rong looked at her husband with some puzzlement.
Jiang Tao smiled slightly and continued: "It's not that I'm hungry, but that a distinguished guest is coming today?"
This made Xia Rong even more puzzled, "Distinguished guest, where did you come from, why didn't I hear you talk about it during the day?"
"The situation is special, he also came suddenly, I advise you to be prepared and not to be frightened for a while. ”
Jiang Tao shouted outside the door again, "Since you're here, why don't you enter the house?"
Jiang Hai slowly walked into the house, and Xia Rong, who was loading vegetables, saw it, and was stunned that the plate in her hand was lost, and she didn't care when she saw that it was about to be crushed.
Jiang Haiyan quickly flew over and took the plate, did not spill the dish a little, and put the plate on the stove.
But she was held in Xia Rong's arms, which made it a little difficult for Jiang Hai to breathe. Although the child hasn't seen her for three years, her hair has grown a lot to cover her face, but after all, this is her own child, how can she not feel the family affection that blood is thicker than water.
"Mother, I ......" Jiang Hai called Xia Rong with difficulty, but his body was feeling the warmth of his mother's embrace.
Although his voice changed a little, he could still hear what he had felt, and before he could say what he wanted to say, Xia Rong interrupted directly.
"What am I? You have no conscience and said that you will come back when you are free, and the last time you were good was three years. "Let go of Jianghai," come, let my mother take a good look at our Xiaohai and what it looks like. ”
The long hair of Jiang Hai's shawl, a slightly childish but resolute and handsome face, is a little different from what she imagined thousands of times, and it looks almost the same. There is no longer the roundness of the youth, and I must have suffered a lot. Seeing that Xia Rong's eyes were rosy, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she stretched out her hand and gently stroked Jiang Hai's face.
"Xiaohai, why have you lost weight like this, why don't you listen to your mother, do you often skip meals?"
'I haven't eaten for more than three years?' Jiang Hai thought to himself. But he saw the tears in the corners of his mother's eyes, this tear touched his heart, and he swallowed back the words that had reached his mouth, but he just reached out to wipe away his mother's tears, and then hugged his mother and didn't speak, Xia Rong also stroked Jiang Hai's head.
Today's Jianghai is no longer the Jianghai of the past, it has changed a lot in three years, and the most significant feature is the height, he is already a six-foot man, only a few points shorter than Xia Rong. Her hug is not as easy as it was back then, but so what? No matter how he changes, he is still his own child.
And this warm picture was interrupted by his father Jiang Tao, and he was also forced to do so, because the dishes in the pot that had not yet been plated came from the smell of burning.
"I guess you mother and son must not be hungry now, but I can only be anxious after a tiring day looking at the coke in the pot. ”
Xia Rong reacted at this time, smelled the smell of burning, immediately let go of Jiang Hai, and poured a scoop of water into the pot, "Hmph, can't you be the head of the family to pretend to be a dish?"
"I also want to, your mother and son are hugging there, and my family is not big, I can't squeeze in. Jiang Tao said with some grievances.
"Hmph, you're reasonable. After Xia Rong finished speaking, she said to Jiang Hai, "Xiaohai, your father wants to eat, this dish has to be remade, you go and talk to your father, he also has a stomach to say." ”
After speaking, he was busy on the stove, the dishes had to be heavy, and the cooking had to be cooked again, and he looked at Jiang Hai from time to time in his skillful movements, "My son has really grown up, and he can find a daughter-in-law......
Jiang Hai walked to his father's side, he was a little worried that his father would know something, after all, the turmoil was so big, he was worried that Jiang Village would be affected at first, until he saw that the villagers were still reluctantly relieved.
Father is not having a good time, he is not a mother. Jiang Tao took out a wooden stool and put it beside him, motioning for Jiang Hai to sit down, Jiang Hai sat down with apprehension and looked at his father.
The father also looked at him carefully, and it took a long time to say a sentence: "Stinky boy, you can do it." The voice was soft, obviously not wanting my mother to hear it.
Sure enough, he knew something to his father, but he didn't scold or ask deeply, and Jiang Hai didn't expect his light reaction.
"Why don't you say something?" Jiang Hai still couldn't help but ask.
"What do you want me to say? Since you chose to do it, there is your reason, I don't support it, I don't oppose it, it's good to come back. Father's words made Jiang Hai unable to see through it again, he didn't seem to see this turmoil anymore, he cared more about his return in comparison.
Jiang Hai sighed and was more moved, because the last sentence was 'It's good to be back.' ’
After a while, the hot meal was served, the family ate unusually warmly, Jiang Hai had not eaten for three years, the aroma of the meal made him can't help it, and he devoured the food with a mouth full of oil. His father still ate two bites from time to time, while his mother watched him the whole time, putting vegetables in his bowl from time to time.
Jiang Hai also solved it, and after adding a bowl of rice, his mother's questioning began, like a wave of fierce attacks.
"Xiaohai, you see that you are so thin, is the food in the academy very bad?"
'Academy?' It seems that her mother is completely ignorant of what she is doing, and it is okay for her to worry. So he replied, "The food in the academy is not bad, you see that I have grown so tall, and I am not thin, this figure is just right." ”
"That's right, our family Xiaohai has grown up and knows how to keep in shape, and he looks really handsome. As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Hai with a smile, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Have you seen a girl who makes your heart pound?" Or is there a woman who is particularly good to you?"
Here it is again! As soon as Jiang Hai heard it, he knew that his mother was going to talk about starting a family again, and he had a headache.
But when I think about it, there is really a woman who is very good to herself, that different Sima Lan, heroic and unpretentious, there is still a little misunderstanding between the two of them, and she also made a promise to her.
As for the heart-pounding woman, there is really no man, but one of them is Meng Qin. Even Jiang Hai, who is a man of two lives, can't figure out how he feels.
Seeing that Jiang Hai was in a trance, his mother shook his arm, "It seems that you have met a special girl, bring it back one day for me and your father to see, if it is good, you will immediately propose it." ”
"Ah?......h
"Ah what, it's a big life event for a man to get married and a woman to get married, you can't just pass it casually, besides, our Xiaohai is better than anyone else, I have to see if your woman can match it!"
What his mother said was difficult for Jiang Hai to answer, and he thought for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "There is no peace in the world, the empire is not unified, how can the eldest husband get married early?"
Jiang Hai said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, like a wise man who worries about the country and the people, but it attracted Xia Rong's pinched face.
"What kind of unification of the Taiping Empire in the world is nothing compared to the big event of me holding my grandson early! You still honestly bring that girl back for me to see, and don't worry about the rest. ”
"But ......"
"But what, you are fourteen years old, and it is time for you to marry and have children. ”
"It's thirteen years old, it's not fourteen, and it's not forty!" Jiang Hai muttered quietly.
"What did you say?!"
"It's nothing ......," Jiang Hai immediately explained.
Jiang Tao looked at the fierce conversation between the mother and son, and couldn't help laughing, attracting Xia Rong's eyes, "As a father, you should talk about this child." ”
Jiang Hai was set on fire, so he had to pat Jiang Hai on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Child, what your mother said is right, you must be absolutely obedient and not disobedient, do you know? ”
Father's words can be regarded as a relief, Jiang Hai also nodded seriously, "Okay, father and mother, I know, I will do it" and then pulled the rice into his mouth violently.
Xia Rong didn't say anything about this, and quietly watched her child eat.
After dinner, Xia Rong was busy cleaning up the mess, while Jiang Hai followed his father for a walk, in addition to avoiding his mother's nagging, he also had something to do.
"Xiaohai, stretch out your hand"
Jiang Hai did so, and then Jiang Tao put it on Jiang Hai's hand, and the true qi poured into Jiang Hai's body to probe around, Jiang Hai was also relaxed and defenseless, and his father had to be wary of something.
Jiang Tao's investigation can be described as thorough, up to the scalp hair, down to the soles of the nails, just to see if Jiang Hai's body is abnormal, making such a big noise, and using extremely ordinary combat power for fear that he will be counterattacked. Seeing that Jiang Hai's body was functioning normally, his breath was like a stream, so he put his mind at ease and withdrew his true qi, and then looked at Jiang Hai calmly.
"Xiaohai, what are your plans for the future?"
"I'm going to walk the rivers and lakes and get back what I've lost. ”
