Chapter 2: A Bowl of Chicken Soup
After moving out of the ancestral house, Zhou Jingjia and Li Jiani still live in a simple building, Zhou Jing's house is on the second floor, and Li Jiani's house is on the third floor.
As soon as I went up the stairs, I saw a tall man walking down with a garbage bag in his hand, and when the man saw Zhou Jing, he couldn't help but stop and greeted him warmly: "I'm back, I just cooked, let's go eat together." ”
Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile and said jokingly: "No, Brother Fan, you better enjoy the two-person world with Sister Jiani, I won't be a light bulb." ”
This man's name is Fan Weifeng, and he is also Li Jiani's husband.
Fan Weifeng smiled when he heard Zhou Jing's naughty words, while Li Jiani blushed slightly, took a sip, and complained in a low voice: "If the little broken child doesn't study well, he will talk nonsense, hurry back to eat, eat well and read well, if you don't do well in the college entrance examination, see how Sister Jiani cleans you up." ”
Zhou Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a surprise then." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand, and with brisk steps, turned into the cloister, and walked in the direction of his home.
Fan Weifeng had a complicated expression, looked at Zhou Jing's back for a while, and then came back to his senses, nodded at Li Jiani, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Jiani, I have something to say to you." ”
As soon as Zhou Jing entered the house, his mother Yuan Xiuhua came out of the kitchen with a bowl of egg soup and beckoned him to go to the kitchen to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
"Where's Dad?" Washing his hands and coming out, Zhou Jing asked probely.
Yuan Xiuhua put the food on the table, took off the apron, threw it aside, and said lightly: "I'm still working overtime in the factory, I guess I'll come back late, I left the food, let's eat first, don't worry about him." ”
"Have you been doing a lot in the factory lately? How do you work overtime twice in three days? Pulling out a chair and sitting down, while eating, Zhou Jing continued the topic.
Yuan Xiuhua was a little surprised, her son was not very old, and he would be interested in these things, but she still nodded, touched the dishes and chopsticks, and said slowly: "The agricultural machinery factory responded to the rural production reform plan of the political axe, and planned to expand the scale of the factory and invest in agricultural machinery production on a large scale. ”
"Oh." Zhou Jing nodded.
At the end of 97 years, because of the unrestricted expansion of the agricultural machinery factory, the capital chain was broken, coupled with the aging of its production equipment, the product qualification rate was low, and the quality was not up to par, and it fell into a serious debt crisis and was finally forced to go bankrupt.
And his father Zhou Xueming was also laid off at the end of this year, because of this incident, the family that was not very wealthy was even more difficult, and could only rely on Yuan Xiuhua's meager salary, and the pressure on life was very high, and it was not relieved for a long time.
In his previous life, he was ignorant about these things, and the only thing he was interested in was learning, and he didn't know the root of the matter.
"How's Daddy feeling lately?" Zhou Jing took a bite of food and asked with concern.
"It's good, although I'm very tired, people are smiling, what's the matter, ask so much?" Yuan Xiuhua said with a puzzled face, for some reason, she always felt that the child was weird these days, and his behavior was not the same as before.
Sensing her surprised gaze, Zhou Jing didn't want to arouse his mother's suspicion, so he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm just asking casually, eating and eating, and you will have to correct your homework in a while, so as not to delay your time." ”
Yuan Xiuhua is a primary school teacher, because of her work, many times, she can be seen correcting students' homework at the desk in the middle of the night, and she has fallen into a serious occupational disease, which has always been a heart disease in Zhou Jing's heart.
After eating in a hurry, Zhou Jing rushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, it was difficult to remember whether he had done the same thing at this age, but the look of relief on his mother's face still made him feel happy.
He always owes too much to his parents, even if he was successful in his previous life and greatly improved the living conditions of his parents, but he was too busy with work, flying around the world all year round, and rarely had time to accompany the second elder.
Until the company went bankrupt and he was so busy that he was still unwillingly resentful in his heart, he didn't think about coming from a distant place by train to celebrate his parents.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing's eyes were slightly moist, life was able to start again, all choices were made in one thought, no matter what, there could be no regrets, to his parents, to himself!
After washing the dishes, Zhou Jing left the kitchen, returned to his small room, read a book for a while, but heard Yuan Xiuhua shouting outside the door: "Xiaojing, I stewed a pot of old chicken soup to nourish your father's body, you send a bowl to Jiani and her family, let them taste it too." ”
"Okay, I'll get it, you go and get your business, or it's going to be late tonight." Zhou Jing hurriedly rushed to help, left the room, went to the kitchen again, filled a big bowl of delicious chicken soup, and walked to the third floor.
Zhou Jing came to the door of Li Jiani's house, and was about to reach out and knock on the door, when he heard a fierce quarrel in the room.
"He's still a kid, how can you say such a thing?" This is Li Jiani's voice, she seems to be very angry, and her voice is very high.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Weifeng's voice came out: "I know he is a child, but he looks like me, he is a distant relative, and he is related by blood, it is better to find him than to find someone else, besides, you have always taken good care of Xiaojing, he will definitely be willing to help!" ”
"No, I can't do this kind of thing!" Li Jiani flatly refused.
"Jiani, don't refuse too quickly, think about it again." Fan Weifeng's voice was full of unwillingness, and he continued to persuade.
"Fan Weifeng, you're crazy, aren't you? It's a big man for you to say such a thing, let me tell you, I, Li Jiani, am not such a frivolous woman, you don't want to fight this kind of idea in the future, I will never do such a thing! Li Jiani was obviously angry, her voice was high-pitched, and she seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Jiani, don't you want a child? Do you want to be ridiculed for the rest of your life? Fan Weifeng was also on fire, his tone suddenly rose a few degrees, and he asked questions like a cannon.
"You, you, Fan Weifeng, it's obviously your problem, why do you want to get involved with me?" The more Li Jiani spoke, the more angry she became, her voice became louder and louder, and the quarrel between husband and wife became more and more intense.
Hearing the words in the room, Zhou Jing woke up suddenly, he subconsciously took a step back, and immediately let out a wry smile, before reading the file, the most quarrelsome thing between Fan Weifeng and Li Jiani was the child, which almost became the biggest heart problem of the two.
This matter involves a little-known secret, Fan Weifeng used to be a soldier, in a special training in the army, unfortunately was hit by a stray bullet in the lower body, although it did not hurt people's lives, but was still seriously injured, and, left a great physical problem, this is early retirement.
It is precisely because of this that Li Jiani and Fan Weifeng have lived between Li Jiani and Fan Weifeng for many years, but they have never been able to have a child, and in this era, families without children are undoubtedly very easy to criticize.
In addition, Fan Weifeng is almost thirty years old this year, and he is not too young, and the parents of both sides have been urging, and in this matter, it is becoming more and more urgent.
However, Zhou Jing didn't expect that this kind of matter between husband and wife would involve himself.
In all fairness, whether it is a previous life or a future life, Li Jiani can be regarded as a beauty in the typical sense, with a height of one meter six or eight, slender and slender, and perfect curves, which makes her always stand out in the crowd.
And the beautiful melon seed face, curved eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes that are looking forward to shining, as well as a small and straight nose bridge, and delicate red lips, are even more pleasing to the eye, without any modification, it has its own charming charm.
Zhou Jing can't deny that he has always had a good impression of Li Jiani, and that kind of good impression is not exactly the love of sister and brother, but there is some admiration, but it is limited to this, Li Jiani is a noble person in his life, and a woman he respects very much, Zhou Jing has never thought of her.
Of course, he clearly knew in his heart that Li Jiani had been married to Fan Weifeng for so many years, and the husband and wife loved each other on the surface, but in fact, Li Jiani had always lived a life of marriage without a surname.
Love without a surname is far more hurtful than a loveless surname, from this point of view, Li Jiani is undoubtedly an extremely pitiful woman.
The quarrel between the husband and wife in the room intensified, Zhou Jing thought for a while, and finally knocked on the door.
When Li Jiani opened the door, she saw Zhou Jing, she was a little surprised, her pretty face turned red, and her expression was a little unnatural.
Fan Weifeng poked his head over, looked at Zhou Jing seriously, and asked with a smile: "Xiaojing, why are you here, is there something wrong?" ”
"I'm here to deliver chicken soup." Zhou Jing said quietly, and also glanced at Fan Weifeng.
There is no doubt that Fan Weifeng is a man who is enough to make a woman's heart move, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, and he exercised a good body when he was in the army, with a fit body, a tough face, and full of masculinity.
If it weren't for the hidden physical disease, the marriage between the two would have been extremely happy.
Li Jiani reacted at this time, took the soup bowl in his hand, and politely invited: "Xiaojing, go in and sit down." ”
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said softly: "No need, you can drink the soup, it tastes good while it is hot, and it will change when it is cold for a while." ”
Li Jiani hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send the bowl back later." ”
"Well, okay, Sister Jiani." Zhou Jing nodded, glanced at her again, and then turned to leave.
Gently closing the door, Li Jiani's expression darkened, and between her eyebrows, she was full of trouble.
Fan Weifeng sneered and said thoughtfully: "Jiani, I think he should have heard the words between us." ”
Li Jiani was startled, her fingertips shook, and the soup bowl in her hand almost fell, she immediately lost her mind, and said with a panicked expression: "How is it possible, he ...... His parents ...... If you knew, things would be in trouble! ”
Fan Weifeng took the opportunity to launch a heart-to-heart battle, and said categorically: "Jiani, no matter what, I have already said it, think about it, Xiaojing is a good child, kind-hearted, and strict in his mouth, he shouldn't tell his family." ”
As if she hadn't heard this, Li Jiani walked to the table with a dull expression, put down the soup bowl, her eyes were red, and a tear slipped down quietly, dripping into the milky chicken soup.
After Zhou Jing returned to the room, the conversation between Li Jiani and Fan Weifeng still echoed in his mind.
The ghost sent the gods, and he actually remembered the beautiful spring color on Li Jiani's chest when he was cleaning the ancestral house, and his heart was pounding, and he was a little panicked.
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Jing's mood finally calmed down, and suddenly sighed, shook his head gently, and even cried and laughed a little, how could he have such an absurd idea?
For him, Li Jiani has always been the role of a confidant big sister, when Li Jiani got married, he didn't feel how sad, why did he hear a quarrel between the two, but he was a little uneasy? ――
Thank you for the support of book friends, to be honest, this number of red votes surprised me a little, after all, it has been broken for half a year, and the end of the last book is not good, I thought that the red votes would not be more than 100, you are too powerful.
However, because there is no manuscript saved, and 40,000 words have to be prepared to hit the new book list, so I can only change one more day these days, save more manuscripts, and strive for two changes a day after being on the new book list.
