Sunny weekend.
Xu Wenbin and his wife drove over to eat at Xu Qing's place.
Ever since they knew they were living together, Xu Wenbin seldom came here again. Xu Qing went back regularly to show his face, sometimes with Jiang He, and sometimes alone for dinner.
Zhou Suzhi had always wanted to come and have a look, but every time she wanted to come, she was stopped by Xu Wenbin's words.
According to his words: People are still talking about partners, what was your identity in the past? Make trouble... blah blah blah.
It's really not that Xu Wenbin thought too much. The past two times were really embarrassing.
It's not easy to sit, it's not easy to stay, and I don't know what to talk about.
Eating is different now. To be precise, it is called a family gathering—you can add a fake word, a fake family gathering.
The occasion is formal.
Zhou Suzhi wore her newly bought windbreaker, dressed meticulously, and felt very fresh about her upcoming visit.
After being a mother for more than 20 years, this is the first time.
"See if my hair is messed up?" She got out of the car and looked at the mirror.
"Why do I feel like you are meeting your in-laws?"
Xu Wenbin felt that she was making a big fuss, closed the car door and looked around, and said, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, we spend the Chinese New Year together, so come over for dinner now."
"That's different."
"What's the difference?" Xu Wenbin asked back, reopened the car door and took out the bag she was carrying, "This is something for skin care, don't forget to take it."
Zhou Suzhi thought about it carefully, but couldn't tell what was different, straightened her hair and walked to the corridor, saying stubbornly: "Anyway, it's different."
"I think Qingzi is different. Look at him... Hey, speaking of this, did you find that he became particularly energetic when he came over last time? He was so energetic and energetic."
Xu Wenbin smacked twice, not knowing how to describe it.
Although Xu Qing wasn't too sick in the past, he always felt old when he stayed at home and didn't go out every day.
If I have to say it, I used to be like Wang Zijun, but now I am like Qin Hao. Although there is no big gap, the vigor of young people is the same.
"Okay, okay, don't talk, it's here."
Zhou Suzhi walked into the corridor to stop his words, adjusted her sleeves again, looked at the hand cream in her hand, and thought that there was nothing missing, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Xu Qing reacted very quickly. When he opened the door, he was still chewing on a piece of cucumber. There was a sound of chopping vegetables behind him, and he welcomed them in with a smile on his face.
"Dad, please sit down first, it's so early... What are you bringing, Jiang He! Jiang He!"
In the kitchen, Jiang He responded, holding a corner of his apron and leaning out half of his body: "What's wrong?"
"My mother gave you this..."
Zhou Suzhi and the two greeted Jiang He, ignored Xu Qing's doggy appearance, sat on the sofa and looked around, his expression became very interesting.
Xu Wenbin is okay, he has already been here, Zhou Suzhi seldom comes here, and always calls Xu Qing to come over when something happens, the impression of the old house is still at a time when he saw Jiang He tidying up the house room, put his hands on his thighs and rubbed them a few times, and said, "Very diligent..."
I don't know whether it was to Xu Wenbin or Xu Qing.
"You still didn't believe me when I said I saw a ghost." Xu Wenbin glanced at Xu Qing at the kitchen door, and said in a low voice.
"See what you see, people are doing well... How nice."
Zhou Suzhi snorted, stood up and looked around, and went to the TV in front to watch the Jiang Miao Xu Qing snatched from her.
Lush and lush, growing well.
Ginger... Miao...
She fiddled with the leaves twice, then turned her head to look at Xu Qing thoughtfully.
Xu Qing came out with vegetables and put them on the table. Seeing Zhou Suzhi standing there, she smiled and said, "Is the one I grow better than yours?"
"You planted it or she planted it?"
"I... two kinds."
Jiang Miao is the result of the joint efforts of the two of them. As for how to work hard... just put it there and grow on its own, without any care at all.
Only Jiang He occasionally wipes the leaves with a cloth to avoid dust, like a treasure.
The kitchen sizzled non-stop, and the aroma of the food permeated the air. Jiang He kept stirring it with a shovel, and then put it on a plate for Xu Qing, who was waiting on the side, to take it out.
This meal is very hearty, deep-fried prawns, boiled meat, plus two or three small stir-fries, as well as cucumbers, hot and cold dishes.
The dishes are served.
After they finished their meal and sat down, Xu Wenbin tasted the chopsticks, oops, this craftsmanship...
Whether he wanted to boast or not, he was afraid that Xu Qing's big tail would be raised, but Zhou Suzhi didn't carry it as much as he did, so he couldn't stop nodding:
"What else do you learn from me during Chinese New Year? It's much more delicious than what I cook!"
"There are only a few of them, and I will learn new ones from you."
Xu Qingle, Jiang He's talent is really good, he abandons the sword and takes the shovel, and learns so well.
Especially the knife skills, nothing to say.
Seeing Xu Qing tilted up again, Xu Wenbin rarely made a sound. After eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables, he complimented Jiang He and asked, "Have you learned it before?"
"Always learning."
"Good."
"Of course that's good. Make what you want to eat yourself, right? I said why Qingzi got fat..."
"Where am I getting fat?"
"Just a little fatter."
While eating, several people chatted casually. Jiang He smiled and listened to their conversation quietly, answering a few words from time to time.
After the meal, Xu Wenbin and his wife were a little bit full. Zhou Suzhi usually had a small appetite, but today she unknowingly ate an extra bowl of rice and a lot of food.
"I'm here to help."
Zhou Suzhi wanted to help clean up the table, but was stopped by Xu Qing. She helped Jiang He put the dishes into the kitchen, turned on the faucet to soak, and then rolled up her sleeves to start brushing with steel wool.
"Aren't you going to accompany your uncle and aunt?" Jiang He stood aside and wanted to take over.
"It's a quick wash."
Xu Qing didn't step aside, and Jiang He didn't insist anymore. He stood beside him for a while, turned his head to look at the living room, and lowered his voice, "I dreamed about that just now..."
"what?"
"I just ate." Jiang He gestured, "I have dreamed about it."
"Ok?"
Xu Qing paused, and wondered, "When?"
"A few days ago, it seemed like last month."
"Oh… "
He was relieved when he heard Jiang He's words, and he thought it was a marriage in a previous life... If he had dreamed about it before coming to modern times, it would be a mystery.
Xu Qing recollected the concept of karma in the past, shook his head and smiled and said, "You are called day to day, night to dream. Didn't you say that you like four people together in my house before? Maybe because you like it."
Fate is right, there is no such thing as a past life, good young people in modern society don't believe in these demons and ghosts.
As for time travel... Quantum mechanics should be able to explain this problem of time.
…
Outside living room.
"what do you think?"
Zhou Suzhi sat on the sofa, moved her buttocks and squeezed next to Xu Wenbin and asked in a low voice.
"How about what?"
"I think the two of them can make it. Look at this... Mimi, come here."
While talking, seeing Donggua passing by, Zhou Suzhi waved and hugged it into her arms.
"Is it dirty?" Xu Wenbin looked away in disgust.
"I think it's cleaner than yours. Why is the housekeeping dirty?"
Zhou Suzhi didn't take it seriously, scratched Donggua's chin, leaned on the sofa and looked around the living room again, thinking it was not bad.
"I think if Qingzi and the others can succeed, you can give him the house here."
"Let's talk about it when he finds a job!"
