"What kind of serious teacher am I, they used to call my brother, and when they heard that I was going to work in school, they felt amazing, as if they had been promoted. Let them rejoice. Chen Wengang was talking to Huo Niansheng about this.

"Do you like kids?" Huo Niansheng asked.

"It's fine. Sometimes it's noisy, sometimes it's cute. "Then haven't you thought about adopting one yourself in the future?"

"That's another story." Chen Wengang was surprised in his heart, he didn't know why Huo Niansheng thought of this, no one would think that Huo Niansheng was a person who could raise children, "It's easy to take care of children, but it's hard to be a parent." Besides, there's a lot more to consider. I like girls, but people don't just let men adopt them. When she grows up, it is inconvenient for men to take care of her. "

"What then?" Huo Niansheng put his hand on his flat lower abdomen, "Why don't you give me one." "Nerves, it won't last more than two minutes." Chen Wengang smiled and slapped his hand away, "Why don't you give birth to yourself?" The sun was all over the floor, and it was a little hot on the body, but it was acceptable. The weather has cooled down. Chen Wengang stretched out his hand and pulled off a thread that ran out of Huo Niansheng's apron.

A black jewelry box appeared in front of him, which Huo Niansheng took out of his pocket. He opened it and deliberately shook it in front of Brother Chen Awen's eyes. Inside the velvet lie two rings, reflecting the glare in the sun.

Chen Wengang's expression froze for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to grab it. Huo Niansheng grabbed him with one hand, raised the jewelry box with the other, and said in a smooth tone: "What are you doing to grab my things?"

"That's my ......"

"Is it yours?" Huo Niansheng asked, "Why would someone order a ring?"

He was joking, but Chen Wengang was stunned, stammering, and his expression lost a little of its original freshness. He complained as if in disguise: "I am the customer." How can Miss Meng give you my things. Looking at the ground, Huo Niansheng noticed the abnormality of his emotions. It's like someone pressed the pause button, and both of them stopped for a moment.

In the gap in time, Huo Niansheng saw himself. As he did now, he took a box with a ring and flashed it in front of someone as if he were teasing. There was a man sitting in the backlight, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

The other party reacted very coldly, and just glanced down.

Huo Niansheng seemed to be unaware: "Try it and see how the design goes." The other party responded to something, like prevarication, reluctance. Huo Niansheng leaned up on his own, grabbed his left hand, picked up the ring, and put it on his ring finger until it reached the root of his finger.

However, the other party quickly pulled it out and made an excuse: "

I'm left-handed, and it's inconvenient to wear things on my hands. He gently put the silver ring back into Huo Niansheng's palm.

Huo Niansheng took his right hand and forcibly put it on again: "Then change it to this side, it's the same." ”

The two hands in the palm of the hand have corroded marks and rough scars, and the right hand is much more serious than the left hand. The man unfolded his right hand in front of his eyes, looked at it for a few seconds, and then pulled the ring off again: "Keep it for the others." Huo Niansheng held his hand carelessly but undoubtedly: "It's not appropriate for others to wear it." Besides, where else do I have?" The other party stubbornly lowered his eyelids: "I'm not suitable either." ”

Huo Niansheng squatted in front of him: "It's just a small thing." You tell me what's not right. "

The man was silent and smiled faintly: "Someone has also worn a ring on me before. Guess who he married later. Huo Niansheng's expression fell cold, and he stretched out his hand and touched the top of his hair.

The other party continued: "It's better to talk about it, I know you don't have to say it to me...... But don't tie me for the rest of your life. You have money, you have power, and you can't find a better one outside. In a situation like mine, with such a face, and thinking about those things, I feel ridiculous. I'm living a day at a time, and these things are the same for me. Sorry, it's my question. "

Huo Niansheng closed his eyes and smiled again: "Okay, okay, forget it." He put the box back in his pocket, chatted with the other party a few more times, and got up to leave.

On the way back to the city, he parked the car on the side of the mountain road, got out of the car, took out the jewelry box, opened it and looked at it for a long time, and then covered it again. Huo Niansheng threw it forward casually.

It didn't seem to exert much force, and the box drew a long arc and fell into the white misty mountain stream.

Chen Wengang was already leaning against the wall, Huo Niansheng took a step closer, his body leaned back, his back pressed closer to the wall, and pulled himself into a tight straight line.

He actually didn't know what Huo Niansheng did with the ring that he rejected in his previous life.

Since then, he has not seen those two pairs of rings, and Huo Niansheng has never mentioned this matter again. Even later, Chen Wengang finally faintly regretted it. But people always have to pay for themselves, and they can't ask for anything with a cheeky face.

He didn't want it.

In this life, he inevitably felt that he had been given a new opportunity.

So when I saw the ring, I couldn't help but order it, but I didn't really think about it in my heart, whether I should take it out.

Huo Niansheng was born in his ear, in a deep voice

Ask: "You ordered the ring yourself, why are you so resistant?" Chen Wengang only felt afraid, he was a thief, his eyes were evasive, and the sudden sense of guilt overwhelmed him.

He didn't speak, just stared at Huo Niansheng with an indescribable secretive look. Huo Niansheng stared at his expression: "Tell me the reason, why, huh?" Chen Wengang opened his mouth, sweating slightly behind his back.

"Wengang."

Qi Tongzhou suddenly appeared, interrupted them, and shouted "Brother Huo" again: "What are you talking about?" Huo Niansheng took a step back casually.

Chen Wengang's expression returned to normal, and he smiled at Qi Tongzhou: You haven't gone back yet?

"I'm so busy that I haven't talked to you all the time." Qi Tongzhou locked his eyes on him, his heart full of suspicion and vigilance. The scene he saw made him intuitively feel that Huo Niansheng was coercing Chen Wengang, but the reactions of the two were more subtle than this imagination. What's more, Huo Niansheng was not weak at all, and even took the initiative to ask Qi Tongzhou: "Do you have anything else to do in the afternoon?" Really...... Probably not. "Let's go, then." He put his hand in his pocket, "Give Wengang a warm house in the afternoon, you can come together." ”

Qi Tongzhou was inexplicably taken to Jiangchao Street.

Huo Niansheng parked his car on the side of the street and occupied the only parking space, and Qi Tongzhou's car followed them, silent, and had to go around half a street to park elsewhere. He didn't come much here in the old city, and it was the first time he knew where Chen Wengang's family lived.

trotted all the way over, Chen Wengang stood at the door waiting for him, Qi Tongzhou's heart was sweet, and the gains and losses were mixed. Excitedly, he felt as if he had stepped into his world. What's unpleasant is that Huo Niansheng seems to be as familiar with this place as his own home.

Chen Wengang told Zheng Baoqiu to celebrate the housewarming, and both places were fine, but in the end, this was his original home. Qi Tongzhou sat down in the house, he probably walked into such a small house for the first time in his life, and he was curious but didn't dare to show it. There were two or three landscape paintings hanging above the couch, and he pressed his head and looked around inconspicuously. Chen Wengang boiled water in the kitchen, Huo Niansheng came over and poured him tea, like a host. Qi Tongzhou glared at him secretly.

Huo Niansheng sat down on the sofa opposite him, his hands together, and he seemed to smile: "What do you want to say to Wen Gang?"

Qi Tongzhou despised his rudeness: "That's what I want to tell him......"

Do you want to see if he's influenced by the gossip, or if he's gloating over your 'friend'?

"Ahem! Qi Tongzhou choked on himself, and he was so anxious that he was incoherent, cough cough...... No...... cough cough cough ...... It's not!"

His tongue was numb from the boiling tea: "I actually...... Also shocked, I didn't expect to ...... Ahem, he was that guy before. I don't mind anything else, it doesn't matter what I use, I just want to see if Wengang is good.

Huo Niansheng said meaningfully: "Don't worry, with me, he will be fine." Qi Tongzhou was choked and speechless, and thought angrily that Chen Wengang was good anywhere, but he was blind. Not long after, Zheng Baoqiu also came to the door, followed by Lu Chenlong with his younger brother, and he came with Qianshanding.

Autumn has risen, crabs are on the market, and Qianshanding has a basket full of hairy crabs. The kitchen utensils were moved from the Lu family, the steamer on the fourth floor was steaming, and the smell of crabs wafted in the house. Lu Chenlong made fried spicy crab and crab roe noodles again, and a few people drank a little chrysanthemum wine.

Just after eating here, Chen Wengang received a call from Jiang Cai. She's still abroad, and it's an international call.

Chen Wengang was a little confused when he heard her voice: "Can I video with you?" He paused and said yes, leave everyone behind, go to the attic to pick it up, the video was on, and Jiang Cai saw his face.

Her expression was quite normal, and she breathed a big sigh of relief, as if she suddenly had an infinite favor filter for Chen Wengang: "Thank God, I finally saw someone I know who can speak Chinese again." You don't know, I don't understand anything here, I'm going crazy.

Chen Wengang smiled, able to understand what she meant.

Jiang Cai began to pour bitter water with him continuously.

Her English is extremely bad, she doesn't know anything except thank you goodbye, whether she can communicate with the locals, it all depends on whether the other party can speak Chinese, and going out every day is like luck. The sanatorium arranged by Huo Zhenfei for Jiang Wanxia is indeed very professional, but it is located in a remote area, and except for a nurse, the rest of the Filipino maids who take care of him can only speak English. Jiang Cai was so lonely over there that she almost went crazy.

Amnda will be in charge of translating and communicating with her, but she is very professional and always has a business-like attitude. She is not like Luo Suwei, she will not show any superfluous feelings in front of Jiang Cai, nor will she say a word outside her scope of responsibility.

After listening for a long time, Chen Wengang asked, "Don't you still have to go to school?" When are you coming back?" Jiang Cai was suddenly silent for a long time: "My mother is dead." ”

Chen Wengang was stunned for a moment: "Festival mourning." He comforted Jiang Cai, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Hearing this, Jiang Cai's casual face finally slowly revealed a crack. But she didn't cry, and through the camera that wasn't clear, she couldn't see if there was water in her eye sockets. She stubbornly maintained her composure and sniffed, "No." It's that they don't let her go back to China for the funeral. ”

Chen Wengang sighed.

Ms. Jiang Wanxia is already in the advanced stage of uremia, and after going abroad, her condition deteriorated suddenly, although she came to ten

The suddenness of the minutes is not particularly surprising. Jiang Cai went abroad to accompany her for the last Mid-Autumn Festival, and then did not come back for a long time.

Now, she has passed away alone in a foreign land.

This woman's disgraceful life is over, and before she died, she stalked and finally entrusted her daughter with a future.

Huo Zhenfei's secretary conveyed his intention to cremate him locally and bring back the ashes. It would take a lot of effort to transport her body back to China for burial, and there were no relatives and friends in the country, so why was it necessary? No one would give her such a troublesome heart.

Being able to hold a funeral is already a very thoughtful arrangement.

Chen Wengang can imagine how bleak this funeral can be. Jiang Wanxia and Jiang Cai's mother and daughter are orphans and widows, and if she dies in China, at least he, Luo Suwei and other colleagues will show up out of goodwill, and maybe she has some other friends.

In foreign countries, there will probably only be two people in the entire funeral farewell ceremony, Jiang Cai and Amnda.

Chen Wengang asked, "How are you now?" Do you need me to come and accompany you?" Jiang Cai suddenly felt aggrieved, and looked at him with red eyes: "I don't know, what to do, Brother Chen, I really don't have a mother anymore." ”
