Chapter 60: You were so cute when you were a child
The old scene is like spring, and it has not changed at all.
Jiang Mian walked to the door of the house familiarly, and next door was Mrs. Hu's house.
As soon as the bronze and wooden door was pushed, Aunt Hu bent down and put down the wooden basin in the corner, "Come on, come on, sit down." ”
She was enthusiastic, poured two cups of tea and handed them to them, "When I was a child, I loved to eat the pot chicken I made, and today my aunt must cook a meal for you." ”
Jiang Mianwaner, "Auntie doesn't have to be busy, I love to eat whatever you do." ”
Aunt Hu couldn't be idle, she rolled up her sleeves and pounced on the chicken pen in the courtyard, "You wait, I'll catch one." ”
In a few moments, she grabbed a fluttering old rooster in her hand, "How is it?" Not bad, right? ”
Ji Zhixiu's eyes condensed slightly, although this courtyard was cleaned by the eldest lady. But this is on the ground...... It's still too conspicuous.
Jiang Mian saw his stiff movements and couldn't help but smile: "I'll help the eldest mother, together." ”
"Don't don't, don't be, you finally went home, how can there be a reason to tell you to do it. You take your husband around and introduce him to us. ”
Jiang Mian couldn't refuse, "Then it's hard work." I'm going to have an extra bowl of rice later. ”
"Good, good! You're the most popular! ”
Aunt Hu went to cook and work, and only the two of them were left in the main hall.
Now it's Jiang Mian's turn to joke with Ji Zhixiu, "Mr. Ji, aren't you used to being here?" ”
Ji Zhixiu sat on this small bench that did not match his posture, inexplicably pitiful and funny. Jiang Mian couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud, "Hahaha...... Ji Zhixiu! ”
"Laughing at what?"
"Don't you feel that you are out of place here, hahaha."
The president in a suit and leather shoes, standing in this place, even the room is a little brighter.
Ji Zhixiu was angry and helpless in his heart, his eyes flashed and doted, "When I think of going to retire here with you in the future and raise a few chickens, ducks and geese, I don't think there is anything." ”
Jiang Mian's cheeks flew by, and he opened his mouth to say love words. This man is really getting more and more unscrupulous.
……
"I'm afraid you're in a hurry, and you haven't prepared any good dishes. I made four dishes and one soup, and slept ...... By the way, I don't know what your husband's name is? ”
"Ji Zhixiu."
Aunt Hu nodded, "Xiao Ji, don't dislike it." It's all coarse tea and light rice. ”
This "Xiao Ji" Jiang Mian almost laughed, I'm afraid no one would dare to call Ji Zhixiu like this in this life.
Ji Zhixiu's eyes swept over her and snickered, and said lightly: "How come?" It was we who bothered the eldest mother rashly. What's more, the food cooked by the eldest lady looks delicious. ”
Aunt Hu smiled, "The young man is really good at talking, come and taste it." ”
As she spoke, she grabbed a chopstick dish and was about to put it in Ji Zhixiu's bowl.
Jiang Mian looked at him for a moment, one of President Ji Da's cleanliness habits is never to eat with others, although this pair of chopsticks Aunt Hu has not used it.
She was about to stop her, but she saw Ji Zhixiu take the initiative to pick up the bowl: "Thank you, auntie, I will eat at my own house, and aunt doesn't have to serve me vegetables, you're welcome." ”
The more Aunt Hu looked, the more satisfied she became, the young man was handsome and had a good temper. It seems that this girl has finally met someone she can rely on for the rest of her life.
"Okay, then you can eat as you please. Where do you stay at night? Do you want to sleep in my house, I'll clean the guest room. ”
Mrs. Hu's son's family is working in other places, and she has hands and feet and is still able to do it alone, and she is reluctant to trouble her son's family. I was reluctant to leave this homeland, so I have been living here for a long time.
Jiang Mian shook his head and thanked her for her kindness, "No, auntie, I'll just go back and clean up." ”
She didn't want Aunt Hu to understand, "Okay, then if your husband and wife lack anything, come to my house to get it." ”
"Thank you, auntie."
The two returned to the next door after eating, and Ji Zhixiu had already let people clean up this small courtyard. In the past few years, he has been ordering people to stay here, and he does not see the slightest sense of dilapidation.
Jiang Mian looked at the pomegranate tree in the courtyard: "In the past, when it was autumn, my grandmother would bring me pomegranates to eat. ”
Ji Zhixiu looked up and saw that the tree still had vitality, but it had not yet reached the month of fruit. The little girl also gave him pomegranates back then, probably picked from this tree.
Jiang Mian looked at the scenes and objects here, and said strangely: "You asked Xiang Long to clean up this place in advance, but why does this house look no different from when I left." ”
The house is unoccupied, and it loses popularity.
This place is just as she was when she left, as if the next second her grandmother would come out with a smile and call her to eat.
After a pause, she thought of a possibility, and looked up at Ji Zhixiu in the hope of being affirmed, "Will it be...... Could it be that my mom came back after I left? ”
Ji Zhixiu couldn't bear to break her beautiful illusions, and said with his head bowed: "Maybe." ”
Jiang Mian curled her lips, "Maybe we'll meet her back after we stay here for a few days." ”
In her memory, the image of her mother is extremely vague, and she only remembers that she grew up with her grandmother, and her mother only came to see her once during the New Year's holidays.
I don't know when she never saw her mother again.
As for his father, he was an invisible man he had never seen. If you have never seen it, you will not have feelings.
Jiang Mian only became his own father and died a long time ago.
For a few moments, her mind was full of thoughts.
"Why don't you take me to your boudoir?"
The man's deep voice rang out, interrupting her musings. Jiang Mian came back to his senses, grabbed his wrist, and smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs." ”
Jiang Mian's room is on the second floor. The second floor uses a solid wood staircase, and there is a slight sound when you go up.
As soon as she went upstairs and turned her head to Jiang Mian's small attic, she pushed open the door, "Welcome, my world." ”
The windowsill of Jiang Mian's room is a carved wooden window, and when it is opened, it is opposite the riverbank, and the smoke and waves can be seen in the distance. Occasionally, there will be boaters, Jiangnan picture scrolls, poetic and picturesque.
Ji Zhixiu casually flipped through a notebook on the table, his eyebrows moved slightly, and his thin lips spit lightly: "Today, I ate a lot, a lot. Grandma's cooking is so delicious, I am very happy when I eat, and it is painful to eat well, so I am worried that I will become a little fat person in the future and no one will want to ......"
Jiang Mian was startled, and reached out to take it back, "Give it back to me......"
It's also too shameful, it's a diary she used to write. I didn't expect to be seen by Ji Zhixiu.
Ji Zhixiu relied on his height advantage, leaned against the table, held his notebook high, and had a smile in his eyes, "I haven't finished reading it yet." ”
"Don't look at it!" Jiang Mian was annoyed and angry.
"I want to see it."
"Why didn't you find out that Mr. Ji was such a scoundrel before?"
"It's not too late to find out."
Ji Zhixiu returned it to her after a few turns, "When you were a child, you were so cute." ”
Jiang Mian was fierce, "It's as if you saw me when I was a child." ”
Ji Zhixiu was slightly stunned, "Maybe I've seen it." ”
"You're in Kyoto, I'm in Jiangnan, how is it possible." Jiang Mian didn't notice his mood changes and put the book away. "I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know if the water heater at home can still work."
"It works." Ji Zhixiu is determined.
Jiang Mian didn't feel at ease, "Borrow your auspicious words." I'll go and see first, you're waiting for me here. ”
"Okay."
While she was leaving, Ji Zhixiu looked around in the room.
Jiang Mian's room is simply furnished, with a bed and a desk, plus a bookshelf wardrobe. The bookshelves are filled with the little girl's favorite looks, as well as some ornaments.
His fingertips gently brushed over a music box on the table, not stained with dust, only the old feeling of time. Looks like the place is well taken care of.
Soon, Jiang Mian came back, and before anyone arrived, "Ah Xiu!" The water heater at home really works! ”
She thought it would break if no one used it for so long. Looks like the quality is pretty good.
"We don't have to go out to the shower at night."
Ji Zhixiu bowed his head, "Then wash up first?" I'll visit my grandmother tomorrow. ”
Jiang Mian nodded, "Then I'll wash it first." ”
Half an hour later, Jiang Mian came back wiping his hair, "Ah Xiu, I'll help you prepare your things and put them on the sink." ”
Jiangnan in July was lukewarm, Jiang Mian wore a long-sleeved pajamas, and he only felt cool when he was blown by the wind.
When Ji Zhixiu came back from washing, Jiang Mian couldn't help blushing when he saw him, Nuwa seemed to have a special preference for Ji Zhixiu.
With his unique appearance and family background, Jiang Mian sighed silently, but he didn't blame Shen Tingyu for chasing him relentlessly.
Ji Zhixiu was in a good mood when he saw that she was distracted, "What are you thinking?" ”
Jiang Mian patted the side of the bed and coughed lightly, "I really have something to tell you." My bed was too small for two people to sleep. Tonight you sleep in my room, and I sleep in my grandmother's room. ”
Ji Zhi stepped in front of her with slender legs, and after taking a bath, the rich mint smell on her body emanated, burrowing into the tip of Jiang Mian's nose, causing her to lose her mind for a while.
"I'm going to sleep with you." He couldn't refuse.
Jiang Mian rolled his eyes, "Brother, look at your height, how can my bed fit in." ”
Her voice is delicate, with a little unconsciously cute.
"The two of them can't let go of their hands and feet at all, that's too wronged by my husband, do you say it's ——??"
She was coquettish, and Ji Zhixiu was difficult to resist. I had to agree, "It's okay to sleep separately, how can you compensate me?" ”
He spent all his time looking at the little girl.
In order to make him agree, Jiang Mian quickly said something in his ear. Then he walked out the door, "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep." ”
Ji Zhixiu was also afraid of making the little girl laugh, so he didn't say more, looking at the back of the little girl who was almost deserted and fled.
He let out a hearty laugh.
As soon as Jiang Mian returned to his grandmother's room, his mobile phone rang.
Xiu: [I can't sleep alone. 】
Jiang Mian stared at these four words and suddenly laughed.
Jiang Mian: [I slept, good night husband. 】
Ji Zhixiu looked at the small sachet hanging on the bed and sighed, "Little one has no conscience." ”
Jiang Mian slept well this night, and he had no dreams all night.
When she got up early the next day, she saw that Ji Zhixiu had already returned from outside with the morning dew.
He also carried some food in his hand.
"Up? Come and have breakfast. ”
Jiang Mian smiled sweetly, "Husband, you got up so early to buy me breakfast?" So impressed. ”
Ji Zhixiu's face was indifferent, "I asked Xiang Long to buy it." ”
Xiang Long: "......" is clearly whether Mr. Ji bought it himself when he came back from running in the morning.
"I don't care, even if Xiang Long bought it, it was ordered by my husband." Jiang Mian opened the packing box, which was her favorite xiaolongbao.
Ji Zhixiu saw through her thoughts at a glance, "It's useless to say good things, don't forget what you promised me last night." ”
