The door of the lobby on the first floor was also open, and the people in the room saw the two of them first. A middle-aged woman sitting inside stopped the action of weaving bamboo baskets, stood up in surprise, and shouted at Jiang Li : "Xiao Li? Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"
Jiang Li carried the suitcase across the threshold and put it aside against the wall. He first smiled and called "Mom" to the woman, and then called "Auntie" to another older woman, and finally called her Seeing that Jiang Zhan was still standing outside the door with two hands of gift boxes, he beckoned to him: "What are you doing standing there? Come in."
Jiang Zhan followed in with his things, called "Auntie" to Jiang Li's mother, and just nodded casually to the aunt who wanted to introduce Jiang Li to a female master's degree.
"Are you Xiaoli's friend?" Jiang's mother was a little surprised that Jiang Li suddenly brought someone back. Jiang Li has a dull and introverted personality. Except for Zhang Ziyang, this is the first time he has brought someone back as a guest. She was very happy at the moment and helped Jiang Zhan get it. He took a chair and came over, noticing that he was well dressed, and wiped it with a clean cloth, "Please sit down, please sit down."
"Thank you." Jiang Zhan put his things on the table beside him, and said to Mother Jiang, "It's a little greeting, sorry to bother you."
Six high-end and exquisite gift boxes occupy more than half of the coffee table, which is very expensive at first glance.
Jiang's mother has lived in this small village for most of her life, and most of the gifts in the village are cigarettes, wine and some homemade food. Jiang Zhan brought so many expensive gifts when she came to the door for the first time, and she was a little panicked: "Come on Just come, why do you still bring something, extra identity... "
"Jiang Li bought it, I'll take it for him." Jiang Zhan explained.
When he said that, Jiang's mother was slightly relieved, but she still turned around and taught Jiang Li a lesson: "Why spend money indiscriminately again?"
"No mess, just a little bit." Jiang Li said with a smile, without breaking Jiang Zhan's words.
In fact, these things were prepared by Jiang Zhan himself. Most of them were health products for middle-aged and elderly people, and they were given to Jiang's mother to nourish her body. Although Jiang Li said that he bought it for Mother Jiang, Jiang Zhan still insisted on bringing it along.
Jiang Li saw this intention and kept it in his heart, so he didn't stop him anymore.
After calling Jiang Zhan to sit down, Jiang's mother went to the house to boil water and make tea. The aunt who said she would introduce Jiang Li to a female master chatted with Jiang Li for a few words, and then asked him if he had a girlfriend. After replying satisfactorily, he enthusiastically started the matchmaker business.
"Xiaoli, let me tell you, this girl is the best!" The aunt gave a thumbs up, "Although she is a few years older than you, as the saying goes, a female junior holds a golden brick, as long as she The two of you are living a good life, age is not a problem!"
Age doesn't matter, but Mr. Jiang matters very much. Jiang Li thought in his heart, and politely declined on his face: "Thank you for your concern, auntie. I have no plans to find a girlfriend yet. I'm busy with work, so I don't want to delay her."
"You can't say that. Isn't there a saying that you start a family and start a business? It's the same to start a family first, and then start a career." The aunt said with a face of disapproval. Seeing that Jiang Li was unmoved, she asked about Jiang Zhan who was sitting beside him. , "Sir, do you think so?"
Jiang Zhan was thinking about why he traveled all the way to see Jiang Li's blind date, so he didn't pay attention to what she asked himself: "What did you say?"
Jiang Li quickly interjected: "Nothing, just chatting casually..."
Before he finished speaking, the aunt's angry voice overshadowed him: "I mean to start a family first and start a career. Jiang Li is not young, so we can talk to someone first, don't you think so?"
Jiang Lili said it was a fart, aunt, are you helping me or hurting me! Just about to change the topic to another place, Jiang Zhan said in the next second, "You're right."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Zhan: "???"
"Since the other party's conditions are so good, it's okay to meet him." Jiang Zhan didn't look at him, but said to his aunt with a serious face, "Why don't we make an appointment tomorrow to see if it's a good match, and don't rush to get married. It’s okay to talk about love first.”
What he said was a complete copy of what he heard outside the house just now. People who are not familiar with him probably really thought that he was seriously considering the major issues in his life for Jiang Li. I must have taken this account to heart again.
My aunt heard what Jiang Zhan said, as if she had found a bosom friend, she patted her thigh, and said with a smile on her face: "I also mean the same thing, so let's go back and ask the other party what they mean. Let's have a meal together at a restaurant in the town! That girl is from the village next door to us, she's close by! If we get married in the future, it will be very convenient for the two families to move back and forth!"
These few words directly lead to marriage, and I feel that if we continue to talk, we can even decide which kindergarten the child will go to. Jiang Li has no place to intervene at all. Jiang Zhan gave him a meaningful look and said to Auntie: "Then I will trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble." The aunt said cheerfully. At this age, people like to draw red lines for young people. Seeing Jiang Zhan's handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, she asked enthusiastically, "What do you call the young man?" ?”
"My surname is Jiang, and my first name is Zhan."
"Oh, Xiaojiang!" The aunt said cheerfully, "I'm Xiaoli's aunt, you can just call me the same as him."
Mr. Jiang, who hadn't been called "Xiaojiang" for many years, had an indescribably subtle expression on his face, and he didn't respond to the sentence "auntie".
Jiang Li pursed his lips and sniggered, and silently called Xiao Jiang to him. Jiang Zhan glanced at him with a warning look, and the latter shrugged.
The aunt didn't notice the eye contact between the two, and asked Jiang Zhan gossipingly, "Xiao Jiang, are you married?"
"No." Jiang Zhan replied, watching her eyes shine, "Do you want to introduce me too?"
"Okay!" The words hit my aunt's heart, "I have a lot of resources here, tall, short, fat, and thin. Tell me what you like? I'll refer to it."
"Are there any female masters?" Jiang Zhan asked.
Jiang Li, who was putting sweet potatoes into the charcoal fire, shook his hands when he heard his words, and the sweet potatoes fell directly into the charcoal.
"Female master's degree." The aunt thought for a while, and felt that the request was a bit high, so she hesitated and said, "I'll go back and have a look first."
While the two were talking, Jiang's mother brewed tea and brought it out. Jiang Li went over and took it and put it on the coffee table, and poured a cup for one of the people present. The aunt drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, and left, saying that she wanted to go back and contact the female master who introduced Jiang Li.
Jiang's mother didn't think about the time to make tea, so they settled the matter and asked Jiang Li strangely: "Xiao Li, didn't you say that the company stipulates that you can't fall in love? Why did you agree to your aunt?"
"The rules are dead, and it's okay to see it." Jiang Zhan said aloud, he wanted to see how good the female master holding the golden brick was.
Since the boss said nothing was wrong, Jiang Li had nothing to be afraid of. He leaned on his upper body and said to Jiang's mother evil-heartedly, "Yeah, I'm also old enough to fall in love. It doesn't matter if I see you. Maybe they hit it off, and if you get married this year, you will have a big fat grandson next year."
Jiang Zhan: "..." Little brat.
Hearing what he said, Mother Jiang didn't say any more. Jiang Li is already an adult, so he naturally has his own ideas.
It's already afternoon, and it will be time for dinner if it's later, before she was alone at home and only planned to heat up the lunch dishes, but now that Jiang Li brings her friends back, she must treat her well and not be rude, So I changed into a pair of water shoes and went out, planning to go to the market to buy some meat, and then go to the vegetable field to pick some fresh vegetables.
As soon as Mother Jiang left, Jiang Li and Jiang Zhan were left staring at each other in the room.
Seeing that Jiang Zhan's expression was not good, Jiang Li touched his nose and turned out the sweet potatoes buried under the charcoal fire, pressed the sweet potatoes with his fingers, picked out a ripe one and handed it to him: " Try it, my mother grows it herself, it's very sweet."
Jiang Zhan glanced at the dark sweet potato in his hand, but didn't reach out to pick it up.
Jiang Li has lived with him for so long, knowing that he has a little bit of cleanliness, and in his capacity, he probably has never eaten a roasted sweet potato just dug out of the charcoal fire like this, so he laughed and scolded, "What's the matter", Help him peel off the sweet potato skin, leaving only a small section where the finger is, wrap it in a tissue and hand it to him: "Eat it, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Zhan just took it over. The freshly baked sweet potato was smelling white. He lowered his head and took a bite. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste spread out in his mouth.
It is indeed sweet.
Jiang Li saw that he had finished eating a sweet potato, so he peeled one and ate it himself. After eating, he went to wash the rice and cook.
Jiang Zhan sat where he was, looking at Jiang Li's house while warming himself by the fire.
Jiang's house is not big. Apart from the small living room where he is, there are two rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
The floor in the house was not tiled, only fine cement was laid, and the putty on the wall was a bit gray and old, but it was cleaned very well and things were placed in an orderly manner. Although the space was small, it was very warm.
An old iron pot was used to warm the fire. The bottom of the plate was covered with ashes, and the charcoal fire was burning on it. On the side of the iron pot were a few sweet potatoes that Jiang Li had just dug out. On the tea table is the ordinary green tea just brewed. The tea is not fragrant enough but more bitter. There is not even a radiator in the room.
All of this was incompatible with him, but Jiang Zhan felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
Mother Jiang came back soon. Jiang Zhan was sitting at the door, warming the fire. Seeing her entering the yard, he got up and wanted to take the basket in her hand, but she avoided it with her hand, and said with a smile, "I don't need your help. It’s cold, go in and warm yourself.”
Jiang Zhan couldn't help much, so he followed the past to watch for a while, then went back to the house and sat warming himself by the fire.
Dinner was made by Jiang Li, four dishes and one soup, just enough for the three of them to eat.
The two tossed all the way for two days. After eating, they chatted with Mother Jiang for a while, and Mother Jiang urged her to take a shower and go back to her room to rest.
The new house is still under construction. There are only two rooms in the family, among which Jiang's mother lives in one, and Jiang Zhan can only live in one with Jiang Li. Jiang's mother felt a little sorry for this, and felt that the hospitality was not good, but Jiang Zhan felt that it was just right, and he and Jiang Li were used to sleeping together.
Jiang Li's room is very small, a bed, a table, and a wardrobe almost occupy a room, leaving only a one-meter-wide aisle, which makes Jiang Zhan, who is used to living in a big house, feel that his turning movements are a little bigger May all hit the corner of the table.
Although Jiang Li didn't come back often, Mother Jiang cleaned his room often, and the quilts and sheets were all newly changed, so Jiang Zhan was not used to it when he first arrived, but he could accept it.
It's just that this night, I don't know which watchdog barked for most of the night, making Jiang Zhan fall asleep almost at dawn. When he woke up the next day, Jiang Li was no longer by his side. Prepare clothes for him.
The cold air in the countryside was severe, and the temperature was lower than in the city. Jiang Zhan shivered as soon as he got out of bed, quickly put on his clothes, and left the room.
Jiang Li was burning a charcoal fire in the living room. He didn't raise his head when he heard footsteps. While blowing hard on the flames, he pointed to the plastic basin in the corner and said, "Go and feed the chickens for me when you get up."
"What did you say?" Jiang Zhan thought he heard it wrong, stopped walking and looked at him in disbelief.
Jiang Li looked up at him, and said as a matter of course: "Hey chicken, don't you see that I'm busy?"
Jiang Zhan never imagined that he, the president of the Jiang family, would be asked to feed the chickens one day when he woke up, and he would be his little love. identity… "
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang." Jiang Li interrupted him, his smile gradually widened, "Let me remind you, our nurturing relationship expired yesterday, you are now eating mine and living mine, what's wrong with feeding a chicken ?”
Jiang Zhan: "..."
After just one night, the peasant turned over and became the master
