Afternoon.
Home.
A gust of wind blew the clouds outside the window crookedly and twisted, just like Dong Xuebin's mood at the moment, a little entangled in neither up nor down.
Going to Sister Jiang’s house
Pretending to be Sister Jiang’s husband
Why do you think this is a little bit like that
Dong Xuebin was sitting on the wax for a while and didn't know what to do. In fact, according to his idea, he really didn't want to go and wanted to push the matter over the phone, but there was no way. Dong Xuebin really couldn't say it. , Jiang Fangfang has never asked for anything from herself. Sister Jiang, a county magistrate, also cooks and washes clothes for herself. Ever since Dong Xuebin came to Zhenshui County, she has taken good care of him, almost taking care of him in every possible way. , Dong Xuebin owed her a lot of love, and now Sister Jiang asked him to help, Dong Xuebin was too embarrassed not to go, but there was no way, he just had a good reputation, so he bit the bullet and agreed. Now I can only go up.
Change your clothes.
What should I wear
In the bedroom, Dong Xuebin opened the wardrobe and looked at it for a while, selected several clothes and tried them on, but he didn't know what style Sister Jiang's husband wore before.
Didi didi.
The text message came.
It was the address of her mother's home sent by Jiang Fangfang.
When Dong Xuebin saw it, he immediately picked up the phone and called her back, but as soon as the beep rang, the other party hung up, which made Dong Xuebin confused.
Didi, didi, text message comes again.
Jiang Fangfang: My mother is nearby, so it’s not convenient for me to talk.
Dong Xuebin typed immediately: I just want to ask what I should wear? What about hairstyle
Jiang Fangfang took a while to reply: It's okay, my mother can't remember it so clearly.
Dong Xuebin: That’s okay. It's almost done here, so when should I set off
Jiang Fangfang: Just come here now. Remember to talk less when the time comes, and pay attention to your titles. Call me mother, and my husband, Liu Tao.
Dong Xuebin: OK, I remember it.
Jiang Fangfang: I’ll treat you to dinner after this is over. Thank you very much.
Dong Xuebin: Oh, it’s okay. You are so polite.
Jiang Fangfang: That’s it. Not having a drink? drive safely.
Dong Xuebin: Okay, then I’ll set off.
County Magistrate Jiang was sending text messages very slowly. He was probably taking care of his mother, who was having difficulty typing. It was already one o'clock when the two of them finished talking. Dong Xuebin put down his phone and looked at his watch. He quickly changed his clothes and dressed up. He didn't have time to take a shower. He casually made a more mature hairstyle in front of the mirror. Then he rummaged through the house and took it. I bought some fruits and a carton of milk sent by others, opened the door and moved downstairs to the car, and then drove there according to the address Jiang Fangfang sent on my mobile phone. It was quite far away. Depending on the road conditions here, it might take an hour or so to get there.
…
It's about two o'clock.
Downstairs of Jiang's mother's house.
This is a community in the outer suburbs. If it is further away, it is probably a rural area. There are not many people nearby, and the community looks a bit old. Very old. Although the conditions in Zhenshui County are not good, as the county magistrate, there is still no problem in getting a better house. At least from what Dong Xuebin saw, there are several fairly good communities in the county, at least with a clean environment. very nice. But there is no County Magistrate Jiang, but her parents have always lived here. From this, it can be seen that Jiang Fangfang is a very honest official, and she is definitely not pretending. And think about it, with her salary alone, She had to treat her father for cancer and have to hire a nanny to take care of her mother. Her family was definitely not financially well-off. Dong Xuebin's father also died of cancer. He obviously knew how expensive this disease was.
well.
The whole family is supported by Sister Jiang alone.
Not to mention a woman, even a man can't hold it.
Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin took a deep breath. He no longer had any reluctant thoughts. If possible, he would also like to help Sister Jiang share some of her worries.
Walk!
I'm going all out today!
Dong Xuebin got out of the car, picked up the milk and fruit and went upstairs.
The corridor was full of dirt and debris piled up by other people, almost covering the steps. The corridor glass was also very dusty and dirty, and some of the glass was even broken.
third floor.
Dong Xuebin stood at the door and looked for the doorbell, but couldn't find it in the end, so he reached out and knocked on the door, feeling a little nervous.
No one is driving.
Dong Xuebin knocked again.
Only then did I hear footsteps coming from inside.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Fangfang's figure was revealed, "Coming?"
"Yeah." Dong Xuebin quickly looked inside while holding something.
"Come in." Jiang Fangfang stepped aside and whispered: "My mother is lying down. You wait in the living room and sit wherever you like. I'll call her."
"okay."
"The tea is brewed, you can drink it."
"Okay, just leave me alone."
The two of them spoke quietly, as if they were thieves.
When Jiang Fangfang gently opened the door and entered the bedroom, Dong Xuebin sat down on the sofa before he could take a look at the place. Her house seemed to be a one-bedroom apartment with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. It was quite small, less than fifty meters away. , the room is full of old wooden furniture, and it looks like an elderly person's home. There is a faint smell of Chinese medicine floating in the air, and there is a black and white photo of Sister Jiang's father on the five-drawer cabinet.
At this time, the conversation between mother and daughter came out from the room.
"mom."
"snort!"
"Drink the medicine first."
"I don't drink!"
"Be obedient and drink the medicine before talking."
"Take it from me! I won't drink anything!"
"You don't take any medicine or drink. Do you want to hurry me?"
"I won't drink anything unless you bring me Xiao Tao!"
"You didn't eat or drink medicine last night, and you haven't taken any medicine today. Are you going to suffer from high blood pressure and I won't care about you? You know how uncomfortable it is anyway."
"I don't have to worry about you, you careless girl. Xiao Tao is such a good child. You two must have quarreled. Otherwise, why would such a sensible child like Xiao Tao not come to see us for several months? Your father is now They're all gone and Xiao Tao hasn't come yet! Do you really think I'm crazy? There must be something wrong with you two. Get Xiao Tao back to me quickly. Who else can take care of you when I die? That’s Xiao Tao. I’m telling you Fangfang, don’t try to fool me this time. If you don’t let Xiao Tao come over and let me see you two fine, I won’t eat!”
"mom."
"Take the medicine away!"
Hearing this, Dong Xuebin sighed. The old lady's illness is indeed quite serious. How many months have you not seen her? Liu Tao has been dead for many years, but the old lady is confused in person, but not in her heart. Dong Xuebin can tell that the reason why she always shouts about her son-in-law is actually worried about her daughter. Her wife has passed away, and she may also know that she She is not in good health, so she wants to see her daughter and son-in-law be beautiful so that she can feel at ease. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin couldn't listen anymore. He understood that Sister Jiang didn't want to be reunited with her husband, but now that the two were far apart, there was no way at all. Mother Jiang didn't know that every word she said was a prick. In County Magistrate Jiang's heart, it was like a knife. Magistrate Jiang would definitely feel uncomfortable. There was no need to ask.
Don't wait for Sister Jiang to call.
Dong Xuebin stood up and went over. It was his turn to take action.
In the small bedroom, an old lady in her sixties was leaning on the bedside and having fun with her daughter. Jiang Fangfang was holding a bowl of Chinese medicine to coax her.
Dong Xuebin stood still at the door.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Fangfang also noticed someone and looked over.
Jiang Fangfang gave him a wink. Dong Xuebin understood and immediately looked at the old lady, "...Mom." The cry was a little distorted, but there was nothing he could do.
Mother Jiang was stunned, "Xiao Tao? Are you Xiao Tao?"
Dong Xuebin walked up and said, "It's my mother, I'm here."
Mother Jiang sat up immediately, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly shook her head and said, "No! No!" She turned to Jiang Fangfang, "Are you looking for someone to fool mom?"
Khan, who said the old lady was confused
When Dong Xuebin heard this, he felt unsure.
Jiang Fangfang's expression was very natural. She took out her wallet and took out a photo inside, "He is Xiao Tao. Don't you recognize him? Look at the photo."
Jiang's mother looked down and shook her head, "People haven't changed, but why don't they feel different." After saying that, she looked at Dong Xuebin hard.
It's strange that it looks like this. The old lady hasn't seen her son-in-law Liu Tao for many years. She always thought that she hadn't seen him for only a few months. Now even if Liu Tao really came back from the dead and stood in front of the old lady, she would probably You have to hesitate, not to mention that Dong Xuebin is a fake in the first place.
Jiang Fangfang put the medicine bowl on the table and said calmly: "You asked Xiao Tao to come. Now that he is here, you still doubt this and that."
Jiang's mother said suspiciously, "Is it really Xiao Tao?"
"Mom, it's really me." Dong Xuebin said.
Mother Jiang looked at him and said, "Then let me ask you, what is my birthday?"
"Birthday?" Dong Xuebin was dumbfounded.
Jiang Fangfang probably didn't expect that the old lady was really not confused when she shouldn't be. She twitched her eyelashes slightly, glanced at Dong Xuebin, and bent her hand on her chest, as if to give Dong Xuebin a hint, but the next moment, The old lady grabbed her daughter's hand.
"Don't tell him."
"Mom, how could Xiao Tao remember your birthday?"
"Why can't he remember! Xiao Tao celebrates your dad and me's birthday every year!"
"That's what I reminded him of. He's so busy with work that he doesn't remember this."
Mother Jiang looked at Dong Xuebin and said, "Okay, Xiaotao, you won't forget your birthday, right? When is it?"
How could Dong Xuebin know this? He was speechless.
"I just said he is not Xiao Tao! My birthday is July 4th! Xiao Tao's birthday is February 1st! Even if he forgot mine! How could he even forget his own birthday!" The old lady stopped immediately and pointed Looking at her daughter, she said, "You really treat your mother as a fool! And you still found someone to lie to me!"
Jiang Fangfang said nothing.
Okay, this time the secret is revealed.
Dong Xuebin wiped the sweat from his forehead. After being exposed, he felt that he was embarrassed to stay, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave. However, when he saw Jiang Fangfang's silent expression, Dong Xuebin felt a heavy heart, and suddenly felt a little hurt and a little distressed. , don’t say anything back when it comes to your mouth.
With a squint, Dong Xuebin decided to give up!
Asking for birthday
good!
BACK for one minute! RQ
