On a reunion day like this, drinking is inevitable, but Jiang Xingzhou's alcohol tolerance is really not good. In addition, Song Ci's father drank, so he became the driver home, so he and Song Ci were arranged to sit at the children's table together.
Because of this, I was spared the interrogation of the adults.
The children were not that small, and the younger ones were held by their mothers. Therefore, their table was relatively quiet, with a group of children working hard to eat.
Sitting at the same table with Jiang Xingzhou and Song Ci was Song Ci's cousin. Occasionally they would chat for a few minutes, but the rest of the time they were focused on eating.
Their table was the one that dispersed the fastest in the end.
After Song Ci finished eating, she quietly moved closer to Jiang Xingzhou and asked in a low voice, "Are you full?"
Jiang Xingzhou swallowed the last mouthful of soup, put down the bowl, and wiped his mouth.
"Okay." He smiled, "Do you still want a fairy wand?"
Song Ci's eyes suddenly lit up. This was exactly what she wanted to say!
She nodded excitedly but restrainedly.
Jiang Xingzhou signaled her with his eyes: "Then let's go?"
Song Ci whispered back: "Let's go!"
The two men got up quietly and ran out.
When Song Ci ran away, she did not forget to take the only fairy wand she had left.
After leaving the house and away from their relatives, Song Ci and Jiang Xingzhou finally stopped and walked side by side.
Song Ci shook the fairy wand in her hand: "This is the only one left."
"It's okay, you still have this."
As he spoke, Jiang Xingzhou took out the remaining boxes of firecrackers in his pocket and raised his eyebrows proudly at Song Ci.
Song Ci was immediately surprised and asked: "Why do you still have this?"
"You forgot, I bought ten boxes. How can I finish them all at once?"
"Hehe~" Song Ci grinned foolishly and threw a few firecrackers forward.
I feel much happier after throwing away one box.
Song Ci took the initiative to put her arm around Jiang Xingzhou, leaned forward, tilted her head and winked at Jiang Xingzhou cutely.
Jiang Xingzhou couldn't stand it anymore, so he raised his hand and covered her cheek: "Don't act like a spoiled child, let's talk about it when we get home."
Song Ci: “… wishful thinking~”
"Jiang Jiang, do you have a lighter?" Song Ci shook the fairy wand in his hand again, but his eyes were fixed on several children who had lit fairy wands not far away.
Jiang Xingzhou followed her gaze and smiled helplessly.
"You want it too?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Wait." Jiang Xingzhou took the fairy wand and pulled her towards the child.
Seeing that it was almost gone, he let go of Song Ci's hand: "Just wait here, I'll go over."
He took two quick steps forward, talked to the child, lit the fire, and also lit Song Ci's fairy wand.
After giving the children two boxes of firecrackers, Jiang Xingzhou quickly ran back to Song Ci.
"Hurry up and take it, it's almost finished."
"Great~"
The fairy wand emits a dazzling white light.
But now it's daytime, the effect is greatly reduced, and it doesn't have the same pleasant atmosphere as at night.
After a while, the fairy wand burned out, and Song Ci twisted the remaining small wooden stick with his fingers.
"Shall we go back tonight and take pictures?"
"No." Jiang Xingzhou shook his head.
Song Ci looked up instantly, not understanding why he refused: "Why?"
Jiang Xingzhou instantly became happy when he saw her expression like this, rubbed her head and said, "Taking pictures is not enough, of course we have to take a video."
Song Ci breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was tired of her.
She moved the stick forward, poked Jiang Xingzhou's chest with the stick, pouted and said, "Jiang Jiang, you are so bad."
“Is this bad?”
"Of course!" Song Ci looked at her warily, "What else do you want to do?"
Jiang Xingzhou smiled slyly, bent down to whisper something in her ear, and Song Ci instantly blushed from her neck to her forehead, and her ears were all red, but the scene of New Year's Eve unconsciously emerged in her mind. Jiang Xingzhou actually said something worse than that!
"If you, you, you say that again, I will leave you here!" she threatened.
This threat was naturally not very powerful, after all, Jiang Xingzhou had already accepted the job of driver.
Jiang Xingzhou nodded her nose proudly, then held her in his arms and continued walking.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. Let's go buy some fairy wands."
"Hmph~"
See, he was really scared!
Hehehe~
Song Ci walked forward proudly with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Passing by a trash can, she pulled Jiang Xingzhou back, threw the stick in, and continued walking forward.
This time, the two of them directly bought two dozen fairy wands, and instead of going home, they just walked along the road, ready to be called home.
Although I haven't been here for a long time, most of the buildings are still the same as I remembered them, and Song Ci can still say a thing or two about the places he occasionally visits.
Seeing that they were about to leave the village, Song Ci and Jiang Xingzhou turned a corner, and the two continued to walk on the road between the houses.
There wasn’t much scenery on the road in winter, but the two of them enjoyed walking so much that they only stopped when their feet were warm.
Somehow, we ended up at a large open space, next to which was a road, and on the other side of the road was a big pit.
There was some water at the bottom of the pit, which was now frozen and didn't look thin, which was enough to prove how cold the weather was.
Jiang Xingzhou could see that the pit had been there for many years, but he didn't know what the empty space was used for.
Song Ci shook her head: "I don't know either, but this used to be a small forest. Later, the trees were cut down and it became an open space. The concrete floor was probably paved in recent years."
“It’s quite spacious.”
Jiang Xingzhou noticed a stone table and stone bench at the end.
Song Ci explained: "When it's warmer, there will be a lot of old men playing cards and chess here."
"That's pretty good."
Jiang Xingzhou wiped the stool, pulled Song Ci to sit on it, and sighed again: "It's quite comfortable."
"That's because you're tired." Song Ci said with a smile.
"No, I'm not that weak, but don't you think this kind of life is very comfortable?"
Song Ci imagined the scene: basking in the warm sunshine, the two of them drinking tea and chatting about trivial things, how comfortable it was.
She nodded: "I'm looking forward to it."
"Right," Jiang Xingzhou said with a look of recognition on his face. He stretched comfortably and said, "I really want to retire."
Song Ci: "But you don't go to work either?"
"How can it not be considered work? I am also tired from watching dramas every day, and don't you get tired from typing? Also, shooting and editing videos are very tiring. These are all work, we are all working."
Jiang Xingzhou fantasized: "I really want to live a life where I can do nothing and just lie down and make money."
Song Ci thought about it for a moment, and then she said, "It can be done."
Jiang Xingzhou looked over, hope alight in his eyes: "How do we achieve this?"
"You can write a hit novel, the kind that will make you a living for the rest of your life."
Jiang Xingzhou was instantly discouraged again: "Forget it, I'll just edit videos honestly and wait until I can open a store to achieve this goal a little bit."
Song Ci smiled happily.
She seemed to be joking with Jiang Xingzhou and gave him some advice.
"If you think this is too difficult, you can write a few more novels that are not so popular but still popular, and you can also make money without doing anything."
Jiang Xingzhou glanced at her, feeling quite helpless.
Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Then I'll just have to be a gigolo. I'll rely on my rich sister to support me."
Song Ci snorted and gave him a glare: "You have no ambition."
"What's ambition?" Jiang Xingzhou blinked. "Can ambition be eaten? Can ambition be used to hug a rich woman to sleep?"
Song Ci was almost frightened to death by his shamelessness. She stood up, walked to him and rubbed his head with her hand.
Jiang Xingzhou raised his arm and hooked his finger, and Song Ci fell onto his legs.
Jiang Xingzhou touched Song Ci's forehead, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he asked, "Am I wrong, rich sister?"
Song Ci shyly buried her face in his arms, but did not forget to pat him on the face.
"What are you doing? You're still outside."
Hearing this, Jiang Xingzhou let go of his hand.
The posture of Song Dynasty porcelain has not changed at all.
"Song Song, do you want to see who did what to whom between us now?"
He arrogantly stretched out his hand in front of Song Ci, telling her that he did not stop her or anything.
When Song Ci saw it, she was so scared that she quickly got off his lap, very angry.
"You, you, you just bully me!"
“Hahahahahahaha…”
**
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Song Ci's mother called and asked them where they were. At that time, they were walking towards home, so they went back.
When she got home, Yang Xiuli was trying to refuse gifts from her brother and sister-in-law, but in the end, she had no choice but to accept a box of tangerines.
Jiang Xingzhou obediently took the key and sat in the driver's seat. Song Ci followed and sat in the passenger seat, while his parents sat in the back seat.
Jiang Xingzhou also stuck his head out, said hello to everyone and left.
So, with everyone watching, the car gradually drove onto the road.
Song Ci said: "I will guide you."
She took out her cell phone, searched for her Baidu, connected to the car's Bluetooth, and left the phone there for Jiang Xingzhou to see the way.
Seeing this, Jiang Xingzhou handed her his phone: "Then you play with my phone."
"good."
Song Ci took it, but didn't play with it. He put it in his pocket and looked at the scenery ahead.
Passing by another supermarket, Jiang Xingzhou stopped the car and said to the people in the back seat: "Mom, I'll go downstairs to buy some things later."
Yang Xiuli didn't understand why, but she didn't stop him.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"Song Song, cell phone."
Song Ci was also a little confused and didn't quite understand what he needed to buy.
They have already bought the fairy wands, does that mean Jiang Xingzhou wants to buy a lighter
That shouldn’t be the case. They can buy lighters when they go back.
She returned the phone to Jiang Xingzhou: "Do you want me to join you?"
Jiang Xingzhou held the phone that Song Ci had held warmly and said, "No need, I'll be back soon, you just stay here with your parents."
“… Ouch.”
Jiang Xingzhou didn't walk around the supermarket much after entering. He just went to the snack area with a purpose, bought four bottles of mineral water at room temperature, and went straight back to the car.
It only took about five minutes.
After handing two bottles of water to his parents, Jiang Xingzhou gave the remaining snacks to Song Ci: "Hey, eat this if you're hungry."
Song Ci immediately understood what he meant and looked at him embarrassedly. She wanted to say something but saw her mother's eyes in the mirror and stopped talking immediately.
She handed over a bag of potato chips obediently: "Mom, do you want to eat?"
Yang Xiuli: “… I don’t eat.”
Her father beside her opened one eye and snatched the potato chips: "I'll eat it."
Song Ci: “.”
"Then mom, do you want to eat spicy strips?" Song Ci took out another bag of spicy strips from the bag.
Yang Xiuli: “…”
"Just eat, why are you talking so much? Turn around and look at the road."
Song Ci stuck out her tongue: "... Ouch."
Jiang Xingzhou glanced at her from the side and was immediately touched by the cuteness of her action of silently stuffing snacks into her mouth, and laughed softly.
Jiang Xingzhou handed the phone to Song Ci again: "Play for a while when you are tired of eating."
"Okay~"
Her Jiang Jiang is still the best~
Song Ci was deeply moved.
Along the way, she crunched snacks in the passenger seat, occasionally feeding Jiang Xingzhou. Her parents in the back seat had fallen asleep, leaving only two people in the front seat.
Song Ci whispered, "This is the first time I haven't slept for so long in a car."
Jiang Xingzhou commented softly: "Little pig."
"No way!"
She was extremely angry, but did not dare to speak loudly. She glared at Jiang Xingzhou in what she thought was a fierce look, and bit the yam slices until they were crispy.
"Ah—give me a bite too." Jiang Xingzhou opened his mouth.
Song Ci snorted and turned her head toward the window, saying with great backbone: "No!"
"Really not?"
“I just won’t give it to you!”
Jiang Xingzhou laughed angrily, and freed one hand to grab the back of Song Ci's neck and pinched it, which frightened her so much that she shrank her neck and had a hard time holding back her laughter.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."
She pinched a piece of yam and handed it to Jiang Xingzhou's mouth: "Ah-"
Jiang Xingzhou lowered his eyes and made sure it was really yam before eating it.
"That's right."
"Hmph~"
Thanks to the company of Song Ci, Jiang Xingzhou did not feel tired during the several-hour drive back home. When he got home, he was still reminiscing about the time spent on the road.
It's about six o'clock.
It got dark early and was already fading. After sending my parents back home, I was invited to go upstairs for a cup of tea.
After finishing a cup of tea, Yang Xiuli poured him another cup. Song Ci took out the fairy wand and said, "Mom, I bought this and I have to go with him. Don't pour it for him. We don't want to drink it. By the way, do you have a lighter at home?"
Jiang Xingzhou said: "No, I bought a lighter when I was checking out at the supermarket."
It was still early, so Yang Xiuli didn't stop them. She just asked Song Ci, "Will you guys come back here for dinner later?"
"No more eating. I'm not hungry." Song Ci rubbed his stomach.
She had been snacking along the way and felt like she had stuffed the food down her throat.
I really couldn't eat dinner.
"What about the boat?"
"Don't bother, Mom. We can go to the street later and buy something to eat."
Yang Xiuli said no more: "Okay, be careful and don't play too late."
"I know, mom."
Song Ci pulled Jiang Xingzhou out.
After entering the elevator, she said happily, "Shall we go to the street to play it?"
"It's all right. It's up to you. We can go wherever you think is good to play."
"Then let's go to that small park. I'll go eat with you afterward."
"Can."
Jiang Xingzhou took her hand and pulled her down the elevator and walked towards the small park that Song Ci mentioned.
Song Ci jumped sweetly and followed Jiang Xingzhou towards happiness.
Fairy wand, here she comes~
