afternoon.
Half past four.
The rain wasn't heavy, but it was sparse.
In the living room of Jiang's mother's house, Dong Xuebin helped Jiang Fangfang hang up her clothes, put away the sheets and quilts, and helped her wipe her dirty high heels.
"Don't worry about it, I'll do it."
"I accidentally dropped it."
"It's okay, just leave it alone."
"That's it. Don't occupy your hands."
Jiang Fangfang didn't agree, but snatched the high heels over and polished them herself, "I'll take care of the shoes. If you have nothing to do, go wash the vegetables. It's in the refrigerator. Take out what you like to eat. When I finish, let's put the vegetables first." Cut it out and fry it when my mother wakes up. "
"Well."
"Remember to turn on the kitchen light."
"No, you can see it."
"The refrigerator light is broken, I'm afraid you can't see clearly."
Entering the kitchen, Dong Xuebin opened the refrigerator door to prepare the dishes. After washing, he did not wait for Jiang Fangfang. He knew that Sister Jiang was too tired these days, so he cut the vegetables directly. When Jiang Fangfang finished polishing her shoes and getting dressed, Dong Xuebin came in. He didn't ask her to do anything, he did almost everything.
After finishing, it was past five o'clock.
Dong Xuebin had nothing to do anymore, so he went to sit on the sofa and watch TV. The two were not close, about an arm's length apart. I didn’t dare to watch the news. There was a variety show on TV, which was pretty good. Jiang Fangfang is not a talkative person, and neither is Dong Xuebin. They just watch TV and don't chat much. After all, Jiang's mother is still in the house, so it's hard to say much. Otherwise, you will be exposed.
soon.
Jiang Fangfang looked at her watch and said, "It's time to call me mom."
"By the way, Sister Jiang." Dong Xuebin whispered: "What did your husband call you before?"
Jiang Fangfang was silent for a moment, "I usually call her Fangfang. You can just call me that when my mother is around."
Dong Xuebin nodded, "Remember, I won't talk much anyway."
Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened from the inside, and the old lady came out.
Jiang Fangfang moves faster. He raised his hips and moved towards Dong Xuebin, next to him, and then naturally held Dong Xuebin's hand. Dong Xuebin was startled, then realized what he was doing, and held her hand back. The two of them crossed their hands, and Dong Xuebin also felt the warmth in Sister Jiang's hand and the delicateness of her palm. It's so soft and comfortable to hold. In the eyes of the old lady. They are a couple. After not seeing each other for such a long time, we need to get intimate. We can't just sit on the sofa and watch TV while being eight feet away from each other.
"Mom, are you awake?" Jiang Fangfang stood up.
Dong Xuebin also stood up. Seeing that Sister Jiang's hand did not let go, he continued to hold it.
Jiang's mother smiled and said: "Wake up, you slept so comfortably. Where are you two watching TV? Let's watch it. By the way, Fangfang, it's time for Mom to take medicine."
"You just finished drinking this afternoon."
"...Did you drink?"
"Drink. It's not time for the medicine tonight."
"Oh, look at my brain. Xiao Tao, are you hungry?"
"Haha, it's okay. We'll eat it if you want."
"Eat, there's nothing to do anyway."
"Then we both cook, and you sit down."
Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang entered the kitchen hand in hand. The old lady looked at the backs of the two people, smiled and nodded repeatedly, with a look of relief on her face.
In the kitchen.
As soon as the door closed, Jiang Fangfang let go.
Dong Xuebin was still holding her. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly let go.
There was nothing unnatural about Jiang Fangfang, "You have to do all the chopping and cooking. I'll fry the vegetables. You can help me get started. Just get the soy sauce and sugar."
"Okay."
"Then fire."
The meal was quickly prepared and put on the table, and the three of them sat together and ate.
The old lady was in a good mood and kept picking up food for Dong Xuebin. "Come on, Xiaotao, eat this. Don't worry, Mom is not smart. Mom remembers what you and Fangfang like to eat."
Dong Xuebin murmured hurriedly, "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Fangfang served her mother some green vegetables, "You eat it too, and leave him alone."
"Yes, you eat." Dong Xuebin picked up whatever Sister Jiang picked up, and finally gave Jiang Fangfang a chopstick, "Jiang..." He quickly changed his words, "Fangfang, here."
Jiang Fangfang said yes.
After calling Fangfang, Dong Xuebin always felt a little hot.
The old lady suddenly said: "What day is it today?"
"Mom, it's Saturday." Dong Xuebin replied.
The old lady said: "Then you two should have a rest tomorrow?"
"Yes, I will go to work on Monday." Dong Xuebin didn't think about it yet, so he answered whatever he asked.
"That's just right." Mother Jiang said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, you haven't come to see mom for a long time. I tell you, you are not allowed to leave today. You can stay at home with Fangfang."
Dong Xuebin groaned, "Live here?"
Mother Jiang said matter-of-factly: "Yes, don't leave."
Jiang Fangfang interrupted: "Xiao Tao has something to do when he goes back. I'll just stay with you and let him go."
"Don't you have a day off tomorrow? What else can happen?" The old lady was unhappy. "If you have anything to do, you have to leave it to me. It's been several months and I finally got to see my son-in-law."
Jiang Fangfang looked at her mother, "There is no place to live at home."
The old lady said: "Every time Xiao Tao comes, doesn't he make a bed with you on the floor? It's not cold in our house. If that doesn't work, just put on a few more layers of mattresses and quilts, and you two will sleep in the living room."
"Mom." Jiang Fangfang said helplessly, "He is really in trouble."
Dong Xuebin answered: "Yes, I have something urgent to do tonight..."
The old lady became stubborn and said, "You can't do anything today, so you have to stay with me. It's a rainy day, so I don't trust you if you drive away." Just as she was saying this, there was a rumble of thunder, and the crashing sound outside became even louder. The old lady suddenly said: "Look, how heavy the rain is."
Jiang Fangfang still didn't agree, "Xiao Tao's car is fine, it's fine even if it rains. Let him go back to do errands after dinner."
The old lady glared at her daughter, "You girl, why don't you know how to care about your man? What if something happens on a rainy day? You don't want to spread the floor on the big floor, right? That's fine, mom will sleep in the living room, and I will sleep with you. Sleep on the floor, and you two go to the bedroom to sleep on the bed.”
Dong Xuebin said: "How can that be done?"
Mother Jiang acted like an old child, "None of you can leave anyway."
If Dong Xuebin is really Sister Jiang’s husband, he hasn’t come back for so long, and the old lady is trying to keep him here. It’s really hard for Dong Xuebin to leave. Not to mention laying a floor, he has to stay even if he sleeps in the kitchen. This is Yes, but the problem now is that Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang are not a couple.
Stay
One bedroom
Sleeping on the floor
Why are they sleeping on the same bed
Isn’t this just letting Dong Xuebin sit on the wax
But the old lady's attitude was very firm and there was no need to discuss it at all.
Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang looked at each other and finally had no choice.
Jiang Fangfang pondered for a while and said to Dong Xuebin: "Then... don't leave."
Dong Xuebin wiped his sweat and heard the old lady say with satisfaction: "This is right, come on, let's eat... I'm asking for a monthly pass!"
