Zhou Yan, a boy, has many great advantages. But he is also very stubborn at the same time, and Jiang Jinjin also knows that if he says something he doesn't want to do, he won't necessarily do it even if she wears his mouth. Fortunately, the matter was not without a solution. She didn't have to embarrass herself, and took the initiative to pierce the window paper before Zhou Mingfeng fell. She glanced at the suitcase on the ground, it wouldn't bother her, so just take the suitcase there!
But to bring Zhou Mingfeng a midnight snack, he still needs to be greeted and informed in advance.
Jiang Jinjin asked Zhou Yan to carry Zhou Mingfeng's suitcase downstairs.
The driver left the car to her just now, so she asked Zhou Yan to wait for her in the lobby on the first floor. She went to the parking lot to drive. On the way to the parking lot, there was no sound, but cameras could be seen everywhere. This five-star hotel only opened last year, and the security system was well done. As she walked towards the parking lot, she dialed Zhou Mingfeng's number.
The other end was connected quickly.
Maybe because of staying up late, Zhou Mingfeng's voice was a little erratic and hoarse, "Haven't slept yet?"
The mobile phone was pressed against her ear, and the voice from it was as clear as if he was whispering right next to her ear.
"Well, I can't sleep either." Jiang Jinjin said, "Zhou Yan wants to eat supper, I'll take him out, it's close anyway, do you want to bring some supper for your night watchmen?"
Funeral homes now provide one-stop services.
It is customary for Emperor Jiang to have banquets at funerals.
Today Jiang Jinjin was still listening to a distant cousin of Zhou Mingfeng complaining that the banquet at the funeral parlor was too unpalatable and he was not full.
At this point, the funeral home should not provide supper, even if it is provided, it is conceivable that the taste will not be very good.
Funerals usually take a few days. She heard Zhou Mingfeng mention the customs here. For example, Zhou Mingfeng's uncle passed away today, so today is considered the first day, and he will be cremated early in the morning on the third day before entering the cemetery, and the urn will be placed in the cemetery After that, the funeral is over.
This is how she is. If others treat her well, she will treat others well.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Mingfeng has always been very kind to her. She has never been rude to her, and she is very tolerant of some of her actions.
Zhou Mingfeng: "I'll go ask my relatives."
As he said that, he seemed to have gone to another place, and he didn't cover the phone, so Jiang Jinjin also heard the conversation between them, and heard his relatives praise her for being careful and kind.
Jianghuang's dialect is very close to Mandarin, but there are some words that Jiang Jinjin, a foreigner, can't understand.
Just as she was guessing what some words meant, Zhou Mingfeng's voice came again, and the background sound was not so noisy, "They said thank you, just buy some for supper. It's because you are thoughtful, what they said about vigil is true." will be hungry."
"They?" Jiang Jinjin asked, "Aren't you hungry? You didn't eat at all."
Zhou Mingfeng paused, his tone was a little slow, as if he was talking to himself, "I forgot."
Jiang Jinjin's breathing was stagnant.
Sometimes she feels that she is too sensitive, like doing reading comprehension.
But this sentence of "forgot" also made her, a bystander, realize his true feelings at the moment again.
When people are sad, they will forget to eat and sleep.
"Zhou Mingfeng..." Jiang Jinjin realized that he was at a loss for words, just as she walked to the side of the car, he said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we meet."
"Um."
Jiang Jinjin started the car, drove out of the parking lot slowly, and picked up Zhou Yan outside the hotel.
Jiang Huang was not that lively, but after searching around, he still found a supper stall. I have been with Zhou Mingfeng for such a long time. Jiang Jinjin knows his habits. At this point, I am afraid that he is not in the mood to eat supper, so when the boss is frying noodles, he said to Zhou Yan: " I'm going to the convenience store to buy something."
After speaking, she walked to the convenience store not far away.
After searching around, she couldn't find anything that she thought Zhou Mingfeng would eat.
At the cash register, she saw the mints that she used to eat during the college entrance examination before wearing books. With a sense of nostalgia, she bought two boxes of mints.
The real world is not too different from the world of wearing books. Many things are the same.
This brand of mints tastes very good, almost no sweetness, it is very refreshing, people eat one in the summer, from drowsy to full of energy in a second, during the time before the college entrance examination, just She didn't even know how many mints she had eaten.
After buying the supper, Jiang Jinjin drove Zhou Yan all the way to the funeral home.
Once in the condolence hall. Jiang Jinjin saw Zhou Mingfeng for the first time from a crowd of people.
The others were either chatting or playing with their mobile phones, but Zhou Mingfeng was the only one sitting aside, his gaze was on the posthumous photo.
The arrival of Jiang Jinjin and Zhou Yan cheered up the depressed relatives.
In fact, they may not necessarily be hungry, but at this time someone brings a midnight snack, which will also make people feel psychologically comforted.
Just as Jiang Jinjin guessed, Zhou Mingfeng never touched those suppers at all. When the two of them came out of the condolence hall, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The place was originally very quiet, but now it was extremely quiet. The moonlight poured down on it. Zhou Mingfeng rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, leaning against the pillar , looking up at the night sky, Jiang Jinjin was leaning against the other side of the pillar. She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Mingfeng, just in time to see his side face.
If it wasn't for the funeral home, if it wasn't for Uncle Zhou Mingfeng's funeral, then they really seemed to be acting in an idol drama now.
A pillar, he leaned on one side, she leaned on the other.
Jiang Jinjin took out the can of mints from his bag and handed it to him.
The two touched with their fingertips, Zhou Mingfeng took it, shook the sugar bowl, and said loudly, "What?"
"Mints can refresh you." Jiang Jinjin said, "I'm afraid you won't drink instant coffee. I don't see you smoking either."
Zhou Mingfeng raised his head, he couldn't see Jiang Jinjin from his angle, but she was the closest to him, "Thank you."
He opened the sugar bowl and ate a candy.
Says mint, but barely sweet.
It was cool and cool, and the breath was clear as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Why are there so few words?" Seeing that Jiang Jinjin hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhou Mingfeng took the initiative to speak.
Jiang Jinjin didn't know what to say.
If you feel the same way, then talking about the death of a loved one makes each other feel uncomfortable.
If you can't empathize, let alone talk.
"Are you saying that I used to talk a lot?" Jiang Jinjin asked.
Zhou Mingfeng smiled, "No, it's just that I'm used to listening to you every day before going to bed."
Habits are terrible.
Even if self-control is as strong as Zhou Mingfeng's, he can't escape this habit.
"Okay, I just want to tell you something." Jiang Jinjin couldn't help but be thankful that Zhong Jia came to be a demon today, so that she would have something to talk about, so she wouldn't spend all her time trying to chat awkwardly, "Your ex-sister-in-law is upset with me and troubles me. How to do?"
Zhou Mingfeng paused, "Ex... sister-in-law?"
"Ms. Zhong Jiazhong. Zhou Mingfeng, don't you care?" Jiang Jinjin said in a very aggrieved tone, "I had a meal with my colleague and she saw her, and she wanted to take pictures and say that I cheated. pass!"
"Can't make it through?" she added.
Before Zhou Mingfeng could answer, she laughed herself.
Zhou Mingfeng pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, "I think it's okay. As I said before, you don't need to pay attention to what she says."
"Flies don't bite, but they are annoying. Does she follow me and stare at me every day?" Jiang Jinjin asked again, "What about you, will you misunderstand if you see the photo?"
"Misunderstand that you cheated?"
"Um."
Zhou Mingfeng stood up straight and came to Jiang Jinjin, "Didn't you say you were a colleague?"
Jiang Jinjin: "So, you believe it?"
"You don't deserve that little trust?"
"Of course I'm worth it!" Jiang Jinjin folded his chest, looking as if he wanted to ask the teacher for a crime, "However, your sister-in-law is too annoying."
"Before." Zhou Mingfeng corrected, "The former sister-in-law is now a stranger."
Jiang Jinjin burst out laughing.
"Okay." Zhou Mingfeng raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "It's getting late, you can take Ah Yan back to rest first."
"Oh, is Zhou always changing the subject?"
Zhou Mingfeng looked extremely tired and begged to let go, "Well, let me go, I will deal with this matter after I have a rest, and compensate you for your mental loss by the way?"
"That's about it. I want to say it again..."
Zhou Mingfeng took over the conversation decisively, "Well, my ex-sister-in-law is too annoying."
Jiang Jinjin blinked and blinked, "Say it again."
She took out her phone from her bag and pressed the record button. The next time Zhong Jia comes to act as a demon again, she will directly release the big killer.
Zhou Mingfeng: "..."
What Jiang Jinjin didn't know was that Zhou Mingfeng's almost empty heart was relieved by her arrival. Although Zhou Mingfeng is not yet forty years old, he has experienced too much in these years. He has long known that this will happen, such things as life and death, have to experience these things from birth. I just never thought that this day would come so soon. He sent away many close relatives in these years, and he thought he was used to it, but how could he get used to this kind of thing.
I just learned to hide my sadness deeper, because there are still many things to do in life.
Jiang Jinjin took Zhou Yan back to the hotel, but woke up before sleeping for a few hours. There were also other relatives staying in this hotel, and Jiang Jinjin ran into Zhou Mingfeng's aunt during breakfast. Zhou Mingfeng's aunt is over 60 years old this year, but she is still in good spirits. She said without a word, "When you married Mingfeng, my granddaughter happened to have a baby, and no one took care of my granddaughter confinement. I really didn’t go if I couldn’t leave, by the way, what’s your name?”
"Auntie, my name is Jiang Jinjin." Jiang Jinjin said with a smile, "Jinjin with relish."
My aunt was taken aback for a moment, "You write it for me, why do I think this name sounds familiar?"
Even Zhou Yan, who was sitting next to Jiang Jinjin, was stunned.
Is it possible to know each other
Jiang Jinjin had no choice but to type his name on the phone.
The auntie took out the reading glasses from her bag and looked at it again and again, her eyes shifted from the phone to Jiang Jinjin's face, thinking of something, she slapped her thigh, Zhou Yan was taken aback, and almost knocked over the orange juice in hand.
"No wonder you look familiar!" My aunt showed excitement, "Is your father Jiang Rongsheng, and your mother's name is Chen Wanxiang?"
Jiang Jinjin was stunned and nodded.
She still got to know the family background of the original owner. According to the original owner's household registration book, his father's name is Jiang Rongsheng, and his mother's name is Chen Wanxiang.
"I'll just say it!"
What the aunt said next shocked Jiang Jinjin even more.
The father of the original owner is a worker in the machinery factory. Once he came here on a business trip with the factory to exchange technology. It happened that the old Zhou’s house collapsed. It was late at night, and the houses were not as dense as they are now. Nothing like this happened. Zhou Mingfeng's father was a migrant worker, and there were only Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingfeng at home. The original owner's father spent a lot of effort finding someone to rescue them. Later, it was also the original owner's father who carried Zhou's mother on his back and ran a few miles to the hospital in time to save his life.
Therefore, it can be said that the Jiang family and his wife have saved the Zhou family's life.
My aunt is still feeling emotional, "My sister has been talking about your parents and you. When you were born, my sister even took your name to ask for a safe talisman, so I thought your name was familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you." !"
Originally, the two families exchanged letters, but gradually, they moved several times, and after the death of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, they completely lost contact.
Zhou Yan was in a fog when he heard that.
He originally thought that his father and Ms. Jiang would just go with the flow and get married, but he didn't expect this to happen
That's not the case with TV shows, is it
Jiang Jinjin was thoughtful after hearing this.
After my aunt knew that Jiang Jinjin was that Jinjin, she became more and more pleasing to the eye, "It's a great fate! If Mingfeng's parents are still alive, they will definitely like you very much, but I remember that you are much younger than Mingfeng. Well, Mingfeng also went with his mother when he asked for a peace talisman in your name, and he must have been in junior high school by then."
"Well, I'm twenty-seven this year."
My aunt counted with her fingers, "You are really twelve years older, but you are more able to take care of others when you are older. There is nothing to say about our Mingfeng. By the way, I see that you wear flat shoes, don't you... huh?"
Jiang Jinjin: "?"
She looked down at her feet.
You can't mistake her for wearing flat shoes... that
Even Zhou Yan looked under the table.
That's okay, Jiang Jinjin hurriedly explained: "No, no, I don't, I don't."
My aunt looked at her flat belly again, with regretful eyes, "Now we are encouraging a second child, and you are still young, and it's not without conditions."
This topic is dangerous.
This is Zhou Mingfeng's aunt, if it were someone else, she would roll her eyes to the sky.
"What's going on?" Jiang Jinjin caught a glimpse of Zhou Yan, "In a few years, I'll just have a grandson."
Zhou Yan: "??"
Why did the conversation suddenly turn to him
My aunt's attention was successfully diverted, "Yes, before I know it, Xiao Yan is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he will be an adult soon."
Jiang Jinjin looked at Zhou Yan and said in a joking tone: "If your mother is not free in the future, I will take care of the children for you, but you have to take care of me."
Auntie: "It goes without saying that Xiao Yan is more filial to a child."
Zhou Yan: "..."
After a hasty breakfast, Jiang Jinjin was about to take Zhou Yan to the funeral home.
On the way to the parking lot, Jiang Jinjin recalled the conversation, "Don't take what I just said seriously."
Without waiting for Zhou Yan to nod or shake his head, Jiang Jinjin said: "It's impossible to have children, and it's impossible in this life. Even if you give me one billion yuan, I won't agree, understand? The most I have is to give Buy some small toys for your child, of course, the premise is that your child is cute."
Zhou Yan was very speechless: "If you want to take me, you won't take me."
Jiang Jinjin clicked his tongue.
"Don't worry." Zhou Yan fastened his seat belt after getting in the car, "First, I won't let you take care of the child, and second," he paused, looked up at her, "Even if you don't give me the child , if you need it in the future, I will also give you a pension."
Hearing this, Jiang Jinjin was elated.
Of course she didn't mean it.
These days, parents dare not count on their children to provide for the elderly.
However, everyone likes a nice word.
She remembered what Aunt Zhou Mingfeng said again, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Zhou Mingfeng...could it be because of his body? But at any rate, he had a reason to marry the original owner, for example... to repay his favor? Although this word appeared to him very inconsistently, but at least with this possibility, it seemed that this marriage was not too abrupt.
So, what about the original owner
Why did the original owner choose to marry Zhou Mingfeng? Before, she felt that this marriage was weird, and it was mainly due to Zhou Mingfeng, but now that she understands these past events, it can be regarded as solving a corner of the puzzle. The idea of the original owner and the reason for the original owner's marriage are the key points.
She's not a fool, it's not like she didn't feel it after passing through for so long.
She still doesn't know the reason behind the marriage between the original owner and Zhou Mingfeng, but one thing can be ruled out. It seems that neither of them is because of love.
When he came to the funeral home, Zhou Yan sensibly dealt with the trivial things that his peers could do at their age.
Under the guidance of other relatives, Jiang Jinjin came to the lounge in the funeral home.
Relatives said that Zhou Mingfeng stayed on guard all night and just went to rest.
When she came to the door of the lounge, she knocked on the door, and the next second the door opened, Zhou Mingfeng came to open it, and he stood at the door.
He didn't wear glasses, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, "Come?"
"Um."
Zhou Mingfeng raised his hand and glanced at the time, "It's just right, sleep with me. You haven't rested yet, have you?"
The bed in the lounge is very small, less than 1.5 meters.
It was much smaller than the bed in the forest villa. At home, the bed was huge, and Jiang Jinjin had no other feelings. Now lying on the bed less than five meters in length, the atmosphere was suddenly different!
She had to take back the words that she and Zhou Mingfeng were in an ambiguous period.
Calculating carefully, she has not experienced ten times of ambiguous period, at least seven or eight times, there is no one like now, she has not entered the push and pull process, she has been lying in the same bed with the other party, this is considered an ambiguous bird Ah, obviously you entered the old couple and old wives mode directly, no, no, it's the old couple and young wives mode.
…
Just when she was thinking wildly, he wrapped his arms around her and held her in his arms without saying a word, and she also leaned on his shoulder blades.
The bitter man's breath instantly surrounded her.
Jiang Jinjin:?
"I'll sleep for a while." Zhou Mingfeng's voice came from above his head.
Jiang Jinjin vaguely smelled the clear mint smell.
never mind.
If the situation is special, don't care about it like him.
Originally, Jiang Jinjin didn't want to sleep, but she leaned against Zhou Mingfeng's arms and thought about it. In addition, she didn't sleep for two or three hours at all, and her body was exhausted. After a while, she heard Zhou Mingfeng's even voice The sound of breathing gradually fell asleep.
…
Jiang Jinjin was woken up by the ringing of the mobile phone.
She woke up in a daze, only to find that she was alone on the bed, and looking at the source of the sound, it was Zhou Mingfeng's mobile phone on the bedside table.
There is also a cramped bathroom in the lounge.
There was the sound of running water in the bathroom. Zhou Mingfeng should be taking a bath. Thinking like this, Jiang Jinjin reached for his mobile phone sleepily, wanting to give him the mobile phone or tell him who was calling, but when he glanced at him, he saw a name jumping on the screen of his mobile phone——
Zhong Fei.
She shuddered and woke up instantly.
Jiang Jinjin stared at the name, got out of bed, pulled on his slippers, came to the bathroom door, and knocked on the door.
The sound of running water in the bathroom became quieter, and Zhou Mingfeng's voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Jinjin raised the volume as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hear: "The call is coming. It is Zhong Fei."
Zhou Mingfeng in the bathroom paused when he heard the words, and he turned off the shower casually.
He raised his hand and wiped the water on his face. Hearing the "excitement" and even "exploration" in her tone that couldn't be hidden, Zhou Mingfeng said, "I'm inconvenient, please help me."
When Jiang Jinjin, who was outside the bathroom, heard this, he had only one thought in his mind: Good guy, this man is really desperate! !
