Chapter 257: Cleaning the Old House

The next day, Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing planned to go to Tongnan, first, they hadn't been back to their hometown for a long time and wanted to go back to have a look, and secondly, they were to meet Jiugong and see if they could be invited.

They didn't know anything about it, so they just said they were going to try their luck.

And Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also planned to go out after they left.

"Let's go, let's go back to Xiuchuan."

"Hmm."

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother drove the car and set off.

And Jiang Chengwen and Han Jing were driven to Tongnan by Assistant Wu.

One to the south and one to the north.

The house was empty again.

The distance from Nancheng to Tongnan is not far, and it is only a little more than 40 minutes to drive at a high speed, and it takes more than ten minutes to get off the road to Han Jing's hometown.

I haven't been back for a few years, and the old house has taken on a dilapidated look.

The people at the entrance of the village couldn't help but take a look at the car that drove in, after all, there are only a few families in this village, and if a stranger comes in, you still have to pay attention.

"Where are you?"

There were a few old people sitting under the tree, all of them were old, and they seemed to be in a dragon gate formation together, because Jiang Chengwen's faces were really unfamiliar, so they asked.

Han Jing stepped forward and said, "Auntie, it's me." ”

The old lady took a closer look and thought about it.

Another old lady next to her seemed to react faster and said, "Are you from Brother Caizheng's family?" ”

Han Caizheng is talking about Han Jing's grandfather.

"Yes."

Han Jing nodded and smiled.

"Ouch, it's taller!"

"I don't even recognize it."

"She just went out and got a high point, and only then did she hit my legs."

"Where have you been all these years?"

Han Jing replied, "I'm reading outside." ”

"yes."

"After all, you have twenty-four, and if you have four years of college, have you graduated?"

"Not yet, but right away, and now it's out of class."

After Han Jing sat down, he chatted with them.

Jiang Chengwen and Wu Yunchang stood aside and didn't interject, first, they couldn't interject, and second, it was not suitable for them to speak.

Wu Yunchang said: "I'm still worried that no one will come to the family banquet when the time comes......

Jiang Chengwen said: "She grew up in this courtyard, and in these places, some details can be erased, but the people who exist in the memory will never." ”

"yes......"

Wu Yunchang nodded and said, "The feeling of being remembered is the best. ”

"Except, of course, there is a feud." Jiang Chengwen said with a smile.

Wu Yunchang couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that Mr. Jiang really didn't open any pot.

After a while of small talk.

Han Jing introduced to a few elders: "Auntie, it's my man, we're getting married." ”

"Ouch......"

Several old ladies looked Jiang Chengwen up and down.

"Ouch, it's so beautiful."

"That's high."

"I mean, Han Mei'er is tall, and she must not be astringent when she finds a man."

"Where are you?"

Jiang Chengwen replied: "My hometown is in Xiuchuan, but I have always lived in Nancheng. ”

"Nancheng Wow... Wow. ”

"The main thing is that it's good-looking, this young man looks so energetic."

"When are you going to get married?"

Jiang Chengwen replied: "It's not decided yet, but it should be happy, and it is estimated that it will be in the next few months." ”

"Ouch, it's fast......"

Countless cross-examinations followed.

It's like checking the household registration, Jiang Chengwen replied back and forth, and his saliva was almost dry.

And Han Jing was gloating on the side and didn't help him.

The old people in the village talk the most, and once they put it up, it's hard to stop because they can always find the right topic.

"Okay!"

Han Jing saw that Jiang Chengwen was a little overwhelmed, so he said, "Let's go back and see it first, auntie, you can do it." ”

"Go, go, go."

My aunt waved her hand and said, "Eh, come to my house for dinner at night, you don't come back, and your uncle misses you very much." ”

"Wait a minute, let's go." Han Jing replied.

Han Jing pulled Jiang Chengwen and left.

Wu Yunchang followed closely behind, and waited until he was farther away before he spoke: "The countryside should be more enthusiastic." ”

"Not really."

Han Jing said with a smile: "The old people in the village always have endless dragon gate formations, believe it or not, in two days, the news of my marriage will have to spread." ”

"I believe it." Jiang Chengwen said.

Wu Yunchang blinked and said, "No, it seems that you haven't been back for a long time." ”

Han Jing said: "Although I haven't been back for a long time, it doesn't prevent me from being here, it's normal for the younger generation not to know me, but the older generation doesn't know me, that's impossible." ”

"Did you do anything before?" Jiang Chengwen asked.

"What every household grows ......"

Han Jing arrived: "I have stolen the radish, the bun grain, the red lettuce, and the fruit trees that I planted......"

Jiang Chengwen opened his mouth and said, "I knew there must be something here." ”

"Madame Jiang was really different before." Wu Yunchang said with a smile.

Han Jing was visibly stunned for a moment.

"Assistant Wu, what did you call me just now?"

When Wu Yunchang saw Han Jing asking, he thought that she didn't think it was good, so he said, "If it's not good, then I'll change it." ”

"Nope!"

Han Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "I think it's good, I'll shout like this in the future." ”

She smiled and saw Jiang Chengwen.

Jiang Chengwen stretched out his hand and knocked her on the head, and said, "Stinky fart." ”

Han Jing sighed and said, "What's the matter, don't you want me to be Mrs. Jiang?" Okay, I'll change you! ”

"Come on, let's go, every day will be on fire."

"Hmph."

Several people came to the courtyard of the old house.

After all these years, the yard outside the old house has been full of fallen leaves, and no one has come to clean it up for a long time.

The iron lock that locked the door was already rusty, the ground and the steps were full of dust, and a lot of wood was wet and festering due to the rain.

And when a few people turned their heads, they saw a piece of the field outside the film.

"Dog ......"

"Huh?"

Jiang Chengwen followed her line of sight, and he was suddenly stunned in place.

In the middle of the field, countless flowers bloomed, and these flowers bloomed in the weeds, and even overshadowed the weeds, like the stars in the night, unique.

Wu Yunchang was also stunned when he saw this flower field, all kinds of different flowers actually grew in a field.

"It's really alive!"

Han Jing felt a little stunned and said, "I thought it was ......"

"You thought they wouldn't survive, did you?" Jiang Chengwen asked.

Han Jing nodded.

"At the time, it was just a whim, and then when I went back, I actually thought that flowers are fragile, and it is difficult for him to grow normally without taking care of them, let alone for so ......many years."

Han Jing couldn't help but shake her head, she felt a little incredible.

Jiang Chengwen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Flowers will also favor the right people." ”

Han Jing paused, looked at him and said, "Perhaps... That's true. ”

Wu Yunchang asked, "Are these heavy on yourself?" ”

"Only a few seeds were sown." Han Jing said.

Wu Yunchang was also stunned and said, "It sounds a little mysterious." ”

"yes, it's incredible."

"Hmm."

Wu Yunchang looked at the thriving flowers in the flower field, and suddenly many fantasies were born in his heart.

Perhaps, he thought, this is how young people express their romance.

Time and fate are working to make this day romantic.

Han Jing looked a little distracted, and walked into the flower field.

She glanced back at Jiang Chengwen, and then threw herself into the sea of flowers.

When her fingertips touched the stamens of various colors, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Chengwen stood on the edge of the flower field and looked at the silly girl as if she was dancing in the flower field.

He didn't warn, he didn't speak, he just quietly admired the scene.

A long time ago, he had heard Han Jing say that she wanted to open a flower shop, she liked flowers, and this girl was born to live freely, like the wind, so that flowers also liked her.

When a person stands in a sea of flowers, that kind of excitement and that kind of peace cannot be disturbed.

Wu Yunchang was also looking at this scene.

He stood next to Jiang Chengwen and said, "Mr. Jiang, your wife is very blessed. ”

"Aang?"

Jiang Chengwen looked at him and asked, "This is a bit vulgar." ”

"Not bad."

Wu Yunchang smiled: "Born with a blessing. ”

Jiang Chengwen smiled slightly, he liked to hear this.

Han Jing stayed in the flower field for a while, touched every flower, and then she reluctantly walked out of it.

"It's so pretty......"

She said, it was a scene she had always dreamed of.

"We've seen a lot of flowers." Jiang Chengwen said: "It seems that this sea of flowers can make you happier even more." ”

"Of course."

Han Jing said: "I haven't forgotten, this place was originally a wasteland, full of weeds, it was you who cut the weeds and turned the ground again in the summer, and then the two of us planted seeds on this land together." ”

"This is a sea of flowers that the two of us planted together, and the important thing is not the flowers, but you and me."

Jiang Chengwen stretched out his hand and hugged her, and said, "I said a long time ago, you are a flower, and I am a gardener." ”

"A gardener can cut a lot of flowers, but what about you?"

"I'll only raise you this one."

"What if you die?"

"It doesn't seem to be possible."

Han Jing looked at him, looking at Jiang Chengwen's confident gaze, she couldn't help but laugh.

There is nothing more precious in this world than certain love.

Wu Yunchang silently stepped back.

He was somewhat fed.

He simply looked at the somewhat old house.

The wooden houses in the countryside, the houses in the middle hall, are hung with plaques, such houses are not very common in the countryside now, but this house is dilapidated, and no one has lived in it for a long time.

Wu Yun paused for a long time, as if he had figured out something.

'She has no elders?' ’

Wu Yunchang was slightly stunned, as if this was the case, he had never heard Han Jing mention the matter of the elders, ah no, except for her late grandfather.

"Assistant Wu."

"Huh."

Wu Yunchang came back to his senses and asked, "Mr. Jiang." ”

"I guess I'll have to ask you to help."

Jiang Chengwen said: "The old house has not been inhabited for too long, so I have to take care of it." ”

Wu Yunchang asked, "Mr. Jiang, you... Staying here today? ”

Han Jing shook his head and said, "Don't live here, I just saw it, the beams and load-bearing pillars of this house have rotten, and there is no way to live in it, it's too dangerous." ”

"Then we ......" Wu Yunchang blinked.

Han Jing glanced at this place and said, "Clean this place again one last time." ”

Here, she has too many memories.

After the knot, the three of them began to get busy, the kitchen water pipe had long been blocked, and as a last resort, the three of them went to their aunt to borrow a bucket and ran to the river to fetch water.

The stairs, eaves, and lobby were rinsed clean, and the dusty areas were wiped down.

They worked until sunset.

There was a puff of moisture in the courtyard, and it smelled like the smell of falling on the concrete floor during the first rain.

"Hoo ......"

Han Jing sat on the steps, she reached out and picked up her trouser legs, and sat on the steps in front of the main hall like a boss.

"It's really hard to clean." Jiang Chengwen said.

Han Jing looked at the somewhat gloomy sky and said, "There is still some time. ”

"We can't stay too long." Jiang Chengwen said.

Han Jing glanced at the room, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Gotta burn incense."

Han Jing said, "Assistant Wu, please take a trip and bring the incense paper in the trunk of the car." ”

Wu Yunchang agreed: "Okay." ”

Jiang Chengwen was a little puzzled and asked, "When did you buy incense paper?" ”

"I don't know."

Han Jing said with a smile: "I bought it when I went out in the morning, and you didn't wake up at that time, and you have to burn paper when you go home, even if you don't live here, you can't break the rules." ”

Just like when she first came here, Han Jing still saluted the incense and candles in three places, one was the shrine in the main hall, the second was the deceased old man on the eaves, and the third was the land in front of him.

After the salute is finished, it is counted.

Wu Yunchang said to Jiang Chengwen: "Mrs. Jiang, she seems to be very ......polite."

Jiang Chengwen shook his head and said: "Actually, she is the most unruly person, the only time she can be belawed, one is by my side, and the other is in this room." ”

"Is there any special significance?" Wu Yun was puzzled.

"She lived with her grandfather when she was very young."

Jiang Chengwen said: "Half of the truth in this world was taught to her by her grandfather, so once she returned here, she became the most well-behaved girl." ”

After hearing this, Wu Yunchang took a deep breath and said, "Sure enough, the rules are not set by heaven. ”

Han Jing came back to his senses, came to Jiang Chengwen's side, and said, "Let's go up the mountain again tomorrow and go see grandpa." ”

Jiang Chengwen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Hmm."

Several people left the village.

After returning to the car, I drove back to the city, mainly because there was no place to stay in the town, not even a hotel.

When he was in the car, Han Jing fell asleep lying on Jiang Chengwen's shoulder.

She remembered her grandfather, and every time she came back, she remembered it.

That house, the house that housed all her childhood......

outlines the only light in her helpless years.
