Chapter 142: Heart Knot
Coming out of the ancestral house, no matter how Zhou Jing coaxed, Li Jiani refused to go back to her residence, only said that she finally came back for a trip, and in the next time, she would accompany her parents more, although this is the truth, but she was also frightened by Zhou Jing, lest he be greedy all night and lose his body, but in fact, the woman's worries are superfluous, after tossing all night, Zhou Jing also exhausted his physical strength, and without a few days of recuperation, he could not regain his strength at all.
Went to Li Jiani's house, naturally received a warm hospitality, Li's father specially let the boss burn a pot of soju, and the future son-in-law to drink, during the banquet, Zhou Jing sincerely said that he wanted to buy a house for the old couple in the center to improve the lives of the two old people, but was categorically rejected by Li's father, the old man was extremely stubborn, and said that this is the best location in Qingyang, the air is fresh, and it is convenient to herd cattle, and when it comes to his age, there is no other hope, that is, I hope that my daughter can have a good home.
Zhou Jing naturally knew the meaning of these words, so he patted his chest and promised that no matter what happens in the future, he will treat Li Jiani sincerely and sincerely, and will never let her suffer the slightest grievance, hearing this, the old man was immediately overjoyed, and frequently raised his glass, while Li Mu sat next to him, kept wiping her tears, and after adding wine and food, she called Li Jiani to the West House, and the two sat on the edge of the bed, chatting enthusiastically, mentioning marriage matters, Li Jiani smiled and avoided it, but said euphemistically that she would follow Zhou Jing in this life, and never expect other men again.
This wine was drunk until the evening, Zhou Jing was not polite, directly put down the future father-in-law, and hid in the room with Li Jiani, after a while, he drove away, at this time the snow outside was smaller, but everywhere was still a white expanse, whether it was a low bungalow, or a tall building in the distance, it was decorated with extraordinarily beautiful, even the willows on the side of the road were also dressed in wedding dresses, like a bride to be married, in the impression, it seems that there have been many years, I have not seen the snow in Qingyang, and they all say that Ruixue is a good year, and the snow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, It is indeed a good omen, and it makes people's hearts bright.
Unconsciously, he drove to Qin Xiaoqian's community, pressed the window, he looked upstairs and glanced upstairs, lit a cigarette, frowned and smoked, a few minutes later, a figure suddenly ran out of the corridor, turned his head to look, but saw Jingjing wearing a flower jacket, combing two playful pigtails, and a pair of red leather boots under her feet, jumping and running over, leaving a string of crooked footprints on the snow.
Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, then pushed the car door, jumped down, greeted a few meters away, hugged Jingjing in his arms, kissed the little face that could be broken a few times, and said with a smile: "Little naughty, do you want to go out?" ”
Jingjing giggled, shook her head into a rattle, she stretched out her arms, hooked Zhou Jing's neck, and said with a smile: "No, I saw my uncle coming from the window, so I went downstairs to play with you." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, glanced at the doorway, and said softly, "Is my mother still upstairs?" ”
Jingjing nodded, pursed her mouth, and said with some grievances: "Well, she is drinking with her aunt, both of them drank too much, and they kept laughing there, but no one paid attention to me, it's really boring!" ”
Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, then he reached out and scraped the bridge of her small and delicate nose, and said in a low voice: "Then how is it interesting?" ”
Jingjing tilted her head and thought about it, then she grinned and said expectantly: "Uncle Zhou, why don't you take me to build a snowman!" ”
"Okay, then let's go build a snowman!" Zhou Jing walked forward with her in his arms, came to the center of the community, found tools, and got busy, the little guy was extremely excited, and ran around, looking for briquettes and carrots, putting eyes and noses on the snowman that had been piled up, and making hair out of vegetable leaves, and then running around the snowman, cheering and jumping, extremely happy.
Half an hour later, Zhou Jing took Jingjing back upstairs, knocked on the door, but no one answered inside, fortunately Jingjing had a key hanging around her neck, she hurriedly took it off and handed it to Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing opened the door, but saw Zheng Xiuzhen lying on the sofa, drunk and messy, but did not find Qin Xiaoqian's figure, and walked to the kitchen door, only to find that Qin Xiaoqian was wearing a white nightgown, sitting crookedly on a chair, already asleep, on that pretty cheek, flushed, a drunken and delicate appearance of a concubine, particularly good-looking.
On the dining table, there were a few delicate dishes, as if they hadn't moved much, but the two bottles of foreign wine were drunk, Zhou Jing sighed, walked over, helped her up, and walked towards the bedroom, as soon as she was put on the bed, Qin Xiaoqian struggled to sit up, closed her eyes and muttered: "No, sister-in-law Xiuzhen, don't play tricks, it's your turn!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Sister Qin, it's me!" ”
"Who are you?" Qin Xiaoqian looked dazed, opened her eyes with some difficulty, stared at Zhou Jing for a long time, and then smiled drunkenly, lay down, covered her pretty face with her hand, and said coquettishly: "Oops, I actually drank too much and hallucinated, it's really embarrassing!" ”
Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile, removed the slippers under her feet, pulled the quilt for her, and said softly: "Have a good rest, I'll sit down and leave." ”
Qin Xiaoqian didn't say anything, but turned over, held the pillow with both hands, and fell asleep sweetly.
Zhou Jing returned to the living room, came to the edge of the sofa, helped Zheng Xiuzhen's legs up, found a blanket to put on, smiled at Jingjing, and said softly: "Jingjing, uncle is going back, you just play in the room, don't run around, you know?" ”
"Got it!" Jingjing ran to his side, hugged Zhou Jing's thighs, raised her head and said coquettishly: "Uncle Zhou, when will you come over next time?" ”
Zhou Jing smiled, touched her little head, and said softly: "It's the weekend, on the weekend, my uncle will take you to fly a kite!" ”
"Okay, then we'll see you at the weekend." Jingjing giggled, reluctantly sent him to the door, looked at him for a long time, then closed the door, returned to the living room, turned on the TV, sat alone on the sofa, held his little face in both hands, and watched cartoons.
Zhou Jing returned to his residence, took a hot bath, and entered the bedroom, reclining on the bed, holding a book, flipping through it casually, after more than ten minutes, the door was suddenly pushed open, Lulu probed her brain and walked in, standing by the door, and whispered: "Brother Xiaojing, Sister Jiani didn't come back?" ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, looked at her warmly, shook his head and said, "No, what's the matter, is there something to do with her?" ”
"No, I want to talk to you!" Lulu lowered her head and looked at her toes, expecting Ai Ai to be authentic.
"Okay." Zhou Jing smiled, closed the book, threw it on the bedside table next to him, and said softly: "What's the matter?" ”
Lulu came to the edge of the bed and sat down, rubbed the corners of her skirt with both hands, and said wonderfully, "Brother Xiaojing, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What do you think?" ”
Lulu frowned, her face showed regret, but she was a little unwilling, and asked, "Then what do you think of me?" ”
Zhou Jing suddenly realized, sighed, and said softly: "Lulu, you are very good, but you are still a child." ”
"No, I've grown up!" Lulu was a little unconvinced, raised her chest, and said angrily: "She is very beautiful, but I am not convinced, I am younger than her, and I love you more!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled dumbly and said in a low voice: "Then you know, what love is?" ”
Lulu nodded, bit her lip and said: "I think about being alone every day, when I eat, when I think about class, when I sleep, as long as I can't see him for a day, I feel very sad in my heart, as long as I see him, there is no trouble!" ”
Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, stared at Lulu silently, and then said softly: "Lulu, I know what you are thinking, but that's impossible, the age gap between the two of us is too big, it's not realistic at all." ”
"Brother Jing, what's wrong with me, just tell me, I can change it." Lulu was a little unwilling, and on her smooth face, there was an unconcealable loss, which made people look at it and feel extremely pitiful.
Zhou Jing shook his head and hardened his heart: "There's nothing bad about it, it's just not good!" ”
Lulu was silent for a long time before she stood up and said in despair: "Brother Jing, then I'll go back first." ”
"Go to bed early." Zhou Jingjing nodded, picked up the book, flipped through it casually, and deliberately didn't look at her.
Lulu burst into tears, turned around and ran out, slamming the door on the door, shaking people's eardrums.
Zhou Jing threw the book aside, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and sighed: "Long pain is better than short pain, it's better to let her die completely." ”
After a while, there was a slight knock at the door, and Zhou Jing turned sideways and said softly, "Please come in!" ”
Miao Chunxiu pushed the door in, put a plate of watermelons on the bedside table, then sat down, pursed her lips and smiled: "What, Lulu is here to trouble you again?" ”
Zhou Jing smiled and nodded: "The little guy is a little precocious, I hope she concentrates on studying." ”
Miao Chunxiu was a little embarrassed, glanced at the door, stroked her hair, and said in a low voice: "I went to talk to her just now, but she was still so willful, she said that she liked you, and she refused to listen to any persuasion, so she covered herself in the quilt and cried, which was not good at all." ”
Zhou Jing put on a cigarette, took a few puffs silently, and said with a smile: "Then tell her that you will study hard in the future, and if you can be admitted to a famous university, everything is negotiable." ”
Miao Chunxiu's expression was gloomy, and she whispered: "I have already said it, but she doesn't believe it, so she says that she is perfunctory." ”
Zhou Jing took a few puffs of cigarette, extinguished half of the cigarette, and nodded: "Then I'll go over and take a look." ”
Miao Chunxiu sighed and said in a low voice: "Xiaojing, I'm causing you trouble, I see that she has been sullen for the past two days, worried that she will drill the horns and make other things, and now, only what you say, she is willing to listen, and no one else can persuade her." ”
Zhou Jingjing nodded, pushed open the door, came to the door of Lulu's room, knocked on the door gently, but heard Tongtong shouting inside: "Mom, sister said, you are not allowed to come in, her affairs, let you take care of it!" ”
Zhou Jing felt angry and funny, raised his voice and said, "Tongtong, it's me, open the door." ”
"Oh, right away!" Tongtong hurriedly jumped off the bed, opened the door quickly, looked at Zhou Jing, and whispered: "Brother Jing, my sister is crying so sadly." ”
Zhou Jingjing nodded, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, lifted the corner of the quilt, and reached out to touch Lulu's face, but touched the wet tears, sighed, and said softly: "Okay, this is the New Year, don't play a little temper." ”
Lulu didn't speak, just opened her small mouth, took his fingers in her mouth, sucked gently, and after a while, she turned her pretty face to the side and choked up: "You don't want me anymore, what's the point of this year, it's better to move back to the old house and stay away from you." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "I'm not very old, but when Sister Lin came, she cried sadly at every turn." ”
Lulu snorted, turned over and sat up, and said angrily: "Since you don't like it, why come here to tease me!" ”
Zhou Jing sighed, put his mouth to her ear, whispered a few words, and then asked with a smile, "How is it?" ”
When Lulu heard this, her pretty face immediately turned crimson, played with her fingers, and said suspiciously: "Yes, it's just that you must remember what you said today, and you must not regret it in the future!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "As long as you really do it and haven't forgotten your current thoughts, you can come to me at any time." ”
"Okay, that's it." Lulu nodded, lifted the quilt, and hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran out.
Zhou Jing hurriedly grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Lulu, don't be in a hurry, make sure to rest during this time, and it's not too late to work hard after the year." ”
Lulu bit her lip and said coyly, "No, brother, I want to go and shhhhhh ”
