When Tang Yuan returned home, it was Xu Jingrong who opened the door.

Tang Yuan stretched out her head to look into the house, and then walked past Xu Jingrong, not seeing her unusually calm eyes at all.

He ...... What about the pastor? ”

Tang Yuan was still carrying vegetables and seafood in her hands, and she turned her head and asked Xu Jingrong in astonishment.

“…… Oh, he's gone. ”

Xu Jingrong said as she walked, she went to the kitchen and took out a few pieces of paper, put down the things in her hand for the somewhat sluggish Tang Yuan, and then reached out to gently wipe the sweat on her forehead.

Tang Yuan seemed to be able to accept this fact easily, she reacted, put down what she was doing, took Xu Jingrong's toilet paper and wiped it.

"Whew—it's so hot, I'm sweating." Tang Yuan walked to the living room, closed the window, and turned on the air conditioner.

Xu Jingrong sat back on the sofa a little depressed, she reached out and touched her white porcelain water cup, and there was still temperature on the wall of the cup.

Tang Yuan was aimlessly busy in her house for a while, she threw the crab into the sink, and then stuffed the food into the refrigerator, she saw the heater under the electric kettle, and said with some surprise: "Ah, you found this." ”

"He's the one who found it." Xu Jingrong showed a very reluctant smile on his face: "Heh, he still likes to joke, and he actually said that he had calculated a hexagram in order to find something...... You can see it from a different angle, but it's right behind the TV. ”

Tang Yuan poured water for herself, she took a sip, and said silently: "It's been boiling for a while." ”

"yes, you've never come back......"

"......" Tang Yuan opened her mouth, as if she had thought about justifying, but in the end she couldn't say it.

Xu Jingrong: "Tang Muzhi said that he is getting married, let me tell you." ”

Tang Yuan put down the cup and sat with Xu Jingrong, and said with a dark look in his eyes: "That's good." It's just that I haven't had time to cook a meal for him. ”

"He's probably busy, too." Xu Jingrong rubbed his eyes: "He said that he is now working in a government unit in Jiangcheng. ”

Tang Yuan was surprised: "What? In Jiangcheng, how can it be ......"

Xu Jingrong looked at her and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?" Does it matter where you work? ”

Tang Yuan nodded: "Our family members are basically settled for a long time...... I'm talking about adulthood. He should be an exception. ”

Xu Jingrong lay on his back on the sofa and sighed: "You mother and son, it's really strange enough." ”

“…… Well, the feeling he gave me since I was a child was ...... Very mature, two years old, almost three years old when I started to speak, at that time I went to a lot of doctors, all said everything is normal, let me wait, some people speak very late. ”

"Oh, you told me about the first time he spoke, and he said...... You're going the wrong way or something. ”

Tang Yuan recalled: "At that time, it seemed that I took him, and I can't remember where I went, in short, the first thing he said was 'we went wrong'." ”

"The first time I met him, it was in the first middle school, did you divide the seats, he was the first but sat in the last row, after class he told me that he wanted to sit in my position, we changed seats." As if thinking of something, Xu Jingrong suddenly burst out laughing.

"I remember meeting him when I went home over the wall again, he was with Guang Shao, and he called me 'comrade' at that time, haha, I thought of my dad when I heard it, old antique."

"Heh......" Tang Yuan also covered his mouth and laughed, "Maybe after I leave him, he will live more comfortably alone." Now I look a lot more cheerful. ”

Xu Jingrong said slowly: "I have the impression that he seems to have always been like this, but his temperament has changed a little, and he looks like a soldier." ”

"It's good ......for a boy to be a soldier," Tang Yuan nodded slowly, "Do you want to eat something?" The dishes are all bought. ”

Xu Jingrong turned his head a little lazily, leaned out of the sofa and looked at the kitchen.

"Crabs...... I'm going to cook it, if you put it in the refrigerator and take it out to eat it again, you'll have a bad stomach. ”

Tang Yuan said half-jokingly: "If only you were my daughter-in-law...... It's just a little weird. ”

Xu Jingrong's body froze, she didn't look at Tang Yuan, but smiled after a long time: "Oh, it's a little weird, Sister Tang Yuan, I'll still call you sister, and take advantage of Tang Muzhi." ”

Tang Yuan stopped talking.

Since Tang Yuan came in, the atmosphere in the house seemed to have been quite strange. It's like two close people suddenly adding a mask to their fragile hearts, a mask made of iron, very hard, but always chilling when attached to a sensitive heart.

Xu Jingrong stood up, walked into the kitchen with her back to Tang Yuan, she washed her hands, and then untied the reed grass that bound the crab, the reed grass was stained with heavy water, she said: "Ah, Sister Tangyuan, have you been cheated, the grass that binds the crab weighs half a catty......"

"Half a catty? How can it be so exaggerated, buy in a hurry, no way, it's like this here. ”

Xu Jingrong threw away the reed grass, and the dying crab felt its body lighten for the first time in a long time, and struggled to crawl in the sink. Xu Jingrong began to cut the side dishes, ignoring the struggling crab.

While preparing the side dishes, she asked Tang Yuan casually:

"Sister, why don't you ask him when he will get married?"

Tang Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, found something to do, she was still holding a piece of reed grass in her hand, the reed grass had been kneaded into a rough ball by her, and she would feel a slight tingling sensation when she twisted it through her delicate palms and fingertips.

"Oh, come here at this time, it should be the Mid-Autumn Festival marriage."

"Tsk, I didn't see it, you know him quite well."

Tang Yuan felt a pinprick pain in her palm, and responded, "Guess what......"

"Oh."

The two experienced a period of silence again, Xu Jingrong dealt with the side dishes, and saw the crab that was still struggling in the sink in front of it, its pincers hit the metal wall of the sink on the other side, and its body tilted upwards without life, and it could be seen that in the short time before it died, it had struggled with all its might, at least it had touched both sides of the tank.

Xu Jingrong's brows that had just been unconsciously furrowed eased, her eyes were slightly hollow, as if she was moved by the experience of the crab before her death, it didn't know how long it had been tied up by the heavy reed grass, but after the restraint was untied, it hit the stronger cage head-on...... Now waiting for it is a stove fire.

"Sister, are you willing to tell me now? ...... the hell is his father?"

Tang Yuan's face was calm, she stood up, walked to the front of the TV cabinet and squatted, and took out a book from it.

Historical Records

Xu Jingrong glanced at it and roughly knew which book it was.

Tang Yuan doesn't like to read, but often reads the thinly bound "Historical Records".

"Tai Hao Ku Xi, Feng surname, Dai Suiren clan succeeded the sky and the king, the mother said Hua Xu, the great deeds in Lei Ze and born in Cheng Xi in the Chengji ......"
