After returning home, it suddenly became very quiet.
The doors of the two second bedrooms were closed tightly, and the inside was empty, with everything still in place, but no one came in or out.
There is no Xu Jin usually wearing exercise clothes on the terrace, and Xu Shi'an will not bring Xiaoxiao over to play again.
Two people live in a big house, which is a bit empty. Xu Qing sat on the balcony thinking.
So this afternoon, he pushed open the door of the old house. There has been no rental here. It used to be because the siblings used it occasionally when they went to school, but later he didn't bother to bother.
In November, the old house was tidied up, cleaned inside and out, some new furniture was added, and Xu Qing moved back again.
Jiang He was very happy about this. In fact, she had long felt that it was troublesome to go to the flower shop there. Not only was it far away, but she also had to go upstairs and downstairs.
Moving back to the old house, it is only a few steps away from the flower shop. Even when Gong Ping is not free, she can close the door first, come back and cook a meal with Xu Qing, and then go to open the door. to an hour.
The layout of the old house is simple, with a master bedroom, a utility room, and a kitchen and bathroom. The plumbing was re-arranged during the renovation, and now it is much more comfortable to live in than before.
It was here that he taught Jiang He how to live, and the two got to know each other gradually.
The anti-theft door was replaced with a new one, and the little tortoise moved to a new environment. In the corner of the living room, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and was even a little excited. He dug a few holes in the sand, and seemed to want to bury himself.
Xu Qing looked at it for a while, and saw that its tail was not retracted again stupidly, so he poked it with his finger to remind it to retract, and then went out to the flower shop with the cup in his hand.
The weather was getting a bit cold, and there were more people wearing coats on the street, but the young girl was still dressed coolly, with long boots and a short skirt, showing a section of her thigh, and she didn't know if it was cold or not.
When he came to the flower shop, Jiang He was looking at the fertilizer with his fingers, and the old woman Gong Ping entered the door with Xu Qing.
She wore a mask, sunglasses, and a peaked cap pressed down very low. She was dressed like a wanted criminal in a Hong Kong movie.
"What did you do? Or did you get plastic surgery?" Xu Qing looked surprised.
"Get out!" Gong Ping shook her head, took off her scarf and hat, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm planning to buy a new house. I went to the sales department to look at the house. I heard that they have the eye of the sky. I'll let you remember it and get familiar with it."
Xu Qing nodded knowingly. This happened a long time ago, and it didn't just happen in the last few years. Although it is convenient with the development of technology, privacy is becoming more and more a problem.
If Jiang He came here at this time, and wanted to live in the modern age, it would not be as easy as before. .
"I heard that the eye of the sky recognizes people's gestures, and the face is only a part. It's useless for you to do this."
"Otherwise?" Gong Ping obviously understood, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Could it be that I'm going to crawl in, twitch all over my body, turn into a strange species, and crawl out twitching after watching it?"
"Pfft..."
Jiang He couldn't help laughing, listening to Gong Ping's description, the imagery was too strong.
"You may be carried away by 120 directly." Jiang He smiled, seeing Gong Ping beating so seriously, he thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Why don't you try putting a pebble in your shoe? does not work."
"Damn! You can think of this? Old Jiang, what did you do before!"
Gong Ping was amazed, a little eager to try, buying a house, the price of a little bit or two, is a lot of money, let alone put a small stone, even put a big stone and gritted his teeth.
"I used to play games, otherwise how would I know you, Tianshan Child Elder?"
Xu Qing said casually, but was glared at by Gong Ping.
"Jiang, take care of your husband!"
"It's such a simple thing, it's not too painful to put a small stone."
Xu Qing said disdainfully, took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message to Wang Zijun, "The old wheelchair you eliminated last time, can it still walk? It doesn't matter if you remove the motor, as long as you can walk by hand, use it."
"!!"
Gong Ping was stunned, the couple still knew how to play.
"Whenever you want to travel, I'll show you the shop here." She patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said, this is really good.
…
When the cold winter came, Xu Shi'an planned to surprise the old couple when he came back from the winter vacation, humming a song and took out the key to open the door and enter the house.
It was quiet inside, obviously no one lived there, the furniture in the room was covered with cloth to prevent dust, he was stunned for a moment, exited to check the house number, made sure he was right, and then re-entered, looking at the extremely silent At home, the mentality almost collapsed.
"Dad! Where did you and my mother go?!"
Hearing Xu Shian's mournful and angry roar over there, Xu Qing held the phone away from his ears, "We are at home."
"??"
Xu Shi'an was in a daze for a moment, "I, I'm also at home!"
"When did you come back?"
"..."
After a brief exchange, Xu Shian rushed downstairs to the old house in a hurry, and saw Xu Qing sitting on the sofa with a pen and paper analyzing something on the tablet. Jiang He was busy in the kitchen. Almost cried.
"Dad, do you know how I feel when I went in and saw the house as if it was sold, and I haven't lived in it for a long time? I thought you broke the stock market and ran away..."
"roll!"
Xu Qing didn't raise his head, "You didn't say anything when you came back, the house wasn't cleaned, why did you come back?"
"Come back and see you." Xu Shi'an threw the bag on the sofa and looked around, "Why are you moving here?"
"It's comfortable to live here."
"What's so comfortable about this? There's no floor heating, and the radiator is broken..." Xu Shi'an put his hands on the radiator, wow.
"Ask when your sister will come back. Don't sneak over like you, and don't let me pick you up at the station."
"Surprise, do you know what a surprise is? It's you guys who almost frightened me."
Xu Shi'an sent a message to Xu Jin on his mobile phone.
Xu Jin: "I'll arrive the day after tomorrow, clean up my room."
Xu Shi'an: "Clean up by yourself."
Xu Jin: "Gong Xi Fa Cai, good luck."
Xu Shi'an: "The bag is clean."
Xu Jin: "The ground has also been dragged."
Xu Shi'an: "Okay."
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the old house became a little more lively. In the evening, the lights were on inside the house, and snowflakes were falling outside.
Jiang He made dumplings, and the family of three sat around a table. Xu Shi'an talked to them about the things in the university.
It's just that the old couple didn't seem very happy, especially Xu Qing.
Jiang He originally bought a set of black clothes today, the kind of ancient night clothes on TV, the kind with a mask and flying over the walls, but now it's all messed up.
He discovered one thing, as long as he pretended to be uninterested and endured for a while, Jiang He would find a way to seduce him.
