Transmigrated to Twenty Years Ago and Adopted Myself

Chapter 42

Views:

Jiang Wang only had time to hear his voice at that moment.

Gentle and calm, calm and unhurried like a deep river, passing by with a secret like an ice edge.

After Mr. Ji recited the recitation, there was thunderous applause, and the parents applauded along with half understanding. They only thought that his recitation was really smooth and not stuck at all, and he was really awesome.

Jiang Wangman took two beats before applauding, his brain still chasing the words that had just passed by.

It seemed that there was a LOVE just now, but it passed too fast and was uncertain.

Jiang Wang didn't dare to whisper to his deskmate under the pressure of Teacher Ji, and quickly wrote a note to Peng Xingwang: "What was he talking about just now?"

A question mark appeared above the child's head, and the note suppressed his voice and said, "How can I understand that?"

Jiang Wang frowned: "Aren't you tutoring with Teacher Ji every day?"

Peng Xingwang was full of question marks: "Brother, I'm only in the second grade."

For the first time, Jiang Wang regretted his poor English. He looked around subconsciously, looking for a suitable target like he would answer an answer on a spot exam, and glanced around to meet the uncle at the diagonally opposite table, who even shook his hand.

At the beginning, this buddy bargained for 40 cents at the courier store, and after taking advantage of it, he often came over to use the air conditioner.

Hey, I don't even know what Teacher Ji was talking about just now.

Boss Jiang felt melancholy, and rested his chin in boredom to watch Teacher Ji's speech.

Ji Linqiu recited a love poem in public, although his character was rebellious and unruly, but his outward character was still in a state of order and order, and he blushed for a while.

I was a little embarrassed at first, but being watched by someone with scorching eyes, my heart beat a little too fast.

After talking about the teaching arrangements for the next semester, he coughed lightly, but he didn't know what he was hiding.

"Sorry, the heater is turned up a bit."

The parent next to him expressed his full understanding: "Drink plenty of water and be careful of getting angry."

In fact, there is no need to explain at all. Ji Linqiu came to his senses, responded quickly, and continued on, never looking at Jiang Wang again.

After the meeting is over, knock Jiang Wang's head in the grilled fish shop.

"What are you staring at me for?"

Jiang Wang filled him a glass of Coke: "Let's talk about it, what is read in the poem?"

Ji Linqiu didn't look sideways: "If you don't understand, forget it."

Jiang Wang had already expected that he would not admit it, so he half threatened: "You don't want to say it, do you?"

"Boss Jiang is quite arrogant." Ji Linqiu laughed: "Threatening people's teachers is a set of tricks."

Jiang Wang tapped his knuckles on the table, and the secretary's head and a brand new copy of "Shelley's Poems" popped out of the booth next door like magic.

Ji Linqiu: "..."

Grilled fish and cold dishes were served the same way, Peng Xingwang was so hot that he gasped, Jiang Wang ate a few mouthfuls hastily, indulging in exhaustion.

"Oh," he flipped through the pages, "It's all love poems, so spicy."

Don't drink water at first, Ji Linqiu doesn't give any clues.

Jiang Wang didn't ask too many questions, and when he flipped through the poems he liked, he defaulted that it was Mr. Ji who read it to him.

Whether this song is good or that one, it all belongs to me by default, it doesn't matter whether I have thought about it or not.

After the grilled fish was finished, Boss Jiang closed his book and sighed in satisfaction: "Poetry is a good thing."

The child turned his head: "?"

Ji Linqiu frowned and said, "You..."

As soon as the winter vacation comes, a new batch of promotional activities is coming, and the online and offline two cities and three tiers are parallel, and the employees are all going crazy.

The boss refuses to work overtime, and has already returned to the office to pack up and prepare for the New Year.

The assistant looked desperate: "Boss!! Do you really have to stay for the New Year's event!! There is too much work this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to hug you!"

Jiang Wang pushed the door open with his briefcase and walked out: "Those executives who get three times the overtime pay are just doing nothing."

"No, why do you suddenly want to go to other provinces to celebrate the New Year?" The assistant said with a guilty conscience, "I'm not afraid of anything else. In case there are too many customers from the first to fifth day of the new year, I'm afraid that there will be problems with the transfer of goods."

Boss Jiang's footsteps paused: "Just because I'm not in the company doesn't mean I don't care about my work."

assistant:"?"

Boss Jiang: "?"

"Who told you that you have to squat in the office to go to work?" Someone expressed dissatisfaction with the old thinking of sitting on duty: "The programmers raised by our company can also squat at home and code at any time. This is not the company's computer. Do you have enough snacks and drinks?"

The first time the assistant heard this concept, he automatically understood that the boss was fooling him.

Just carefully said: "Then you are going to Zhouxiang, remember to keep the phone open, I will give you enough for the phone bill, and if you don't have enough, you can talk at any time."

Jiang Wang waved his hand: "Let's go, you also remember to buy New Year's goods, and say Happy New Year in advance, everyone is happy and rich."

"… boss!!!"

Before Jiang Wang left with Ji Linqiu, he went back to the countryside with the child to visit the old man.

The grandparents of the Peng family had little contact with their own son, and the information in the village was blocked, so they didn't even know that Jiang Wang was not here this year.

"I even tidied up the bed and room for you, and what about the teacher, isn't the teacher coming to celebrate the New Year?" The old woman took a feather duster and dusted the dust everywhere, with a concerned expression on her face: "Come and play, why are you so polite!"

"Little Jiang—you bring two of the cured fish we hang here to Mr. Ji, it's delicious!"

Jiang Wang told Peng Xingwang to be obedient and not to run around in the countryside, and to call him whenever something happened. He stayed with the old people all afternoon and drove back to the city at night.

The luggage at home is packed and ready to go to the train station at any time.

When Jiang Wang parked the car, he found that the lights in the yard were on, and Teacher Ji was rolling up his sleeves and pasting blessing characters on the windows.

He stood in front of the garage door and looked at his profile from a distance, watching him hang the red lantern in front of the door, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes unconsciously.

It seems that there are two brocade lanterns hanging in front of my heart, bright and joyful.

Ji Linqiu heard the sound and turned his head to look over.

"Jiang Wang," he called him loudly, "Let's go, let's go to celebrate the New Year together."

The man smiled and walked over quickly.

There are two boxes of luggage, and half of one box is filled with various greeting gifts.

When packing up things last night, Teacher Ji had a helpless expression on his face: "You are celebrating the New Year with ordinary friends, and you are not returning home with your son-in-law."

Boss Jiang is meticulous: "Second impressions are also very important. Don't hit people with smiling faces when you reach out."

Ji Linqiu recalled all his deeds in Hongcheng again, and put one hand on Jiang Wang's shoulder.

"Promise me, no matter what happens, don't be too aggressive, OK?"

Jiang Wang looked sideways: "Am I the kind of person who means too much?"

You are, you are too much.

They were on the train at 12:30 in the evening, and they fell asleep until they arrived at the station in the morning.

Boss Jiang went to someone's house to eat and drink, and consciously bought two soft sleeper tickets in advance.

The soft sleeper car is spacious and comfortable, with a total of four beds. Unexpectedly, the two on the upper berth did not come, and there were only two of them in the small box.

After Jiang Wang observed carefully for half an hour, he turned the door lock

Squeeze onto Ji Linqiu's bed to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The latter gave him a slightly surprised look.

"I'll share the pillow." Jiang Wang had already nestled next to his neck, and said contentedly, "It's warmer this way."

The width of the soft sleeper is not too rich. It is a bit narrow for two people to squeeze together, but it feels surprisingly safe.

The train is galloping in the winter wind, and the rails collide and roar continuously, which can suddenly disconnect people from the world and turn everyone into a canned food in the assembly line.

Ji Linqiu stepped back a little, not only felt relieved because they were all neatly dressed and behaved well, but also did not resist the warmth of their shoulders leaning together.

He will behave harmoniously and cordially towards the outside world, but in reality he is not good at speaking. He only silently watches old shows with Jiang Wang, expressing his intimacy with quiet acceptance.

Jiang Wang watched the sketch for a while, then turned his head and realized that Ji Linqiu had fallen asleep.

Like a gardenia quietly closing its petals, her broken hair droops slightly and her eyelashes are lightly closed.

He kissed the side of his hair lightly, covered the quilt, and fell asleep together.

Outside the window, brilliant fireworks bloomed one after another, dissipating and drifting away with the whistling wind.

Ji Linqiu's hometown is in Zhouxiang, a relatively remote mountain town in Lin Province.

After getting off the train, the humid air hit our faces. They changed to a bus and sat for two hours, and then took a small passenger car to go around several mountains.

The industrial-style city gradually faded away, and when I woke up, there were towering mountains and rivers everywhere, clouds and mists in the distance lingered around the peaks, and the green was endless.

The driver is a veteran, chewing betel nuts and driving all the way on the winding mountain road.

Jiang Wang grabbed the armrest with one hand and looked out at the speeding truck, but Ji Linqiu turned a blind eye and yawned.

The vicinity of Hongcheng is full of plains and rivers. There are dangerous peaks everywhere, and the ribbon-like mountain roads are very bumpy with twists and turns.

Ji Linqiu was half asleep and half awake, and felt that Jiang Wang was not used to it, so he reached out and touched his face.

"Is it okay, I have motion sickness medicine here?"

Jiang Wang looked forward, implying something: "This master... is very wild."

"Yes," Ji Linqiu laughed, "The ones in our mountains are pretty wild."

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Zhouxiang.

Ji's father and Ji's mother greeted him specially at the entrance of the village, while the younger sister was busy cooking with other sisters-in-law at home.

"Hungry, the food is ready, come come!"

Jiang Wang greeted them one by one with a smile and handed them gifts. The relatives who came to see the excitement were both surprised and delighted: "You are here and give gifts?"

"Boss Jiang is generous, Linqiu, your friend is worth it, worth it!"

Walking all the way up the hillside, the flat areas on all sides have been reclaimed as farmland, and the green cattle are chewing grass and flicking their tails.

The Ye River meanders at the foot of the mountain, and there are boats parked on the bank, and ospreys are tied to poles to sleep with their eyes closed.

It was also the first time for Jiang Wang to come to the mountain city to celebrate the New Year. Not long after getting out of the car, he felt his lungs were thoroughly washed, his whole body was refreshed, and his appetite also opened up a lot.

Ji Linqiu finally remembered something, and whispered: "By the way, our food... is a bit spicy."

"If you are not used to it, there is no shame in rinsing water."

Jiang Wang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "We also have spicy dishes in Hongcheng, you forgot?"

Teacher Ji smiled kindly: "Oh, really."

The first meal is eaten at home. The main dish is roast chicken hot pot, served with chopped pepper pork, fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, and two dishes of stir-fried cauliflower and sugar oil cakes.

Not long after Ji Guoshen recovered from his illness, his complexion was much better than in the hospital, and he warmly greeted him, "Can you have a drink and some Baisha liquid?"

Ji's father has taught books all his life. He does not have a strong accent like other people when he speaks.

Jiang Wang took a cup with a smile, chatted and ate with them, Ji Linqiu poured a glass of white water and put it beside him in silence.

The first chopsticks went down, and the man's smile froze.

"Your dishes are indeed, a little bit, amazing."

Ji Linqiu took the vegetables slowly, and glanced at him when he heard the sound.

The aunt next to me wiped her apron and was a little nervous: "I forgot that I'm a foreigner, can't I eat spicy food? I'll cook two more side dishes for you?"

"No, no, no," Jiang Wang stopped her: "It's a small matter, this dish smells very delicious, it must be served with dinner."

Ji Linqiu chatted casually with his father, and continued to eat quietly.

Zhouxiang cuisine is really spicy.

If it is said that Sichuan is numb and fragrant, the dishes here are spicy and fragrant. When I first tasted it, I only felt that it was delicious, and then I realized that tears were already falling down.

Chopped hot peppers and fresh peppers are not covered.

Jiang Wang took a few mouthfuls of roasted chicken, held back his tears in exchange for pork, covered his mouth and nose with a tissue and coughed beside him.

Ji Linqiu patted the back beside him.

"No, just wash it off, it's okay."

Jiang Wang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and said firmly: "It's okay, it's delicious, I'll eat more cauliflower."

Then a few chopsticks went down the cauliflower, tears came out of my eyes, and I saw that I used a lot of paper.

Ji's father said with concern: "Have some drinks? Is it okay?"

"It's okay," Jiang Wang took a deep breath, his cheeks were flushed: "Of course a man can do it."-

2-

Because of someone's strange persistence, he just finished a bowl and a half of rice without rinsing the water once.

When Jiang Wang put down his chopsticks, he breathed a sigh of relief, the exhaustion and chill were dispelled by the spicy air, and it was really refreshing to eat.

Turning his head again, Ji Linqiu's complexion was as usual, and he didn't even sweat.

Jiang Wang fell into thought.

"It's embarrassing for you to do this."

"Where is it?" Ji Linqiu said with a smile: "I will be the one who will lose face in two days, otherwise why would I deliberately move you here as a savior."

Right. Jiang Wang came back to his senses, followed him upstairs to put his luggage, and casually asked about the situation.

Ji Linqiu's mother's surname is Chen, and his father's surname is Ji. Both sides are well-established families in the local area. Although many children take their parents to the big cities to enjoy the blessings, most of the older generation still stay here.

"Today is to welcome you, four or five people have a simple meal together." Ji Linqiu pressed his forehead and said: "From tomorrow onwards, we will take turns to eat and play host to each other... I guess it will be a few more times."

Ji Linqiu's bedroom is very close to Jiang Wang's guest room, with only the bathroom and study in between.

It can be seen that the house has been renovated. Although it is a self-occupied house in the countryside, the decoration and layout are elegant, and the calligraphy and paintings are placed just right, which complements the wood-colored decoration.

Jiang Wang first went to his room to simply put things away, and then went to see Ji Linqiu's room.

The same spacious and bright, good lighting.

It's just... There are not many decorations of adulthood, as if they are still in college.

The magazines and newspapers are all a few old things from the beginning of the century. It can be seen that they have been carefully wiped, but the relationship with the owner is also weak.

Jiang Wang realized something and said in a low voice, "You really haven't been back for a long time."

Ji Linqiu was in a daze for a moment, looked out the window and said slowly: "Actually, if you come here for the first time

, will feel very good here. "

"The combination of mountains and rivers is very suitable for staying here to nourish the mind and body."

He shook his head slightly, as if to refute himself.

"It's always people who trap people, it has nothing to do with the mountain city."

Jiang Wang was still looking at the single bed in the corner, and the broken wooden bell on the doorknob.

"By the way," he said, "if we meet that idiot who touched your thigh later, you can tell me with a wink."

Ji Linqiu suddenly smiled again; "Are you going to chop off his hand?"

"Then marinate it with chopped chili peppers for a few more years." Jiang Wang said without changing his expression, "It's not a big problem."

Ji Linqiu laughed out loud, his eyes filled with envy.

"I can't say something like yours."

"Even if I run to a place where there are no people, I dare not say it."

Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows: "You can't beat people, and you can't speak harshly?"

Ji Linqiu shrugged.

As soon as they learned that Ji Linqiu had finally returned to his hometown, many relatives came over to eat melon seeds and drink tea that night, and watched the foreign guest Jiang Wang.

With more people, the room became much warmer, and it was quite lively and cheerful watching the local accent lingering in the atmosphere.

Ji's parents finally looked forward to seeing their son go home for the New Year, they spoke with rare caution, and laughed all the time when others talked about it, being very polite.

After several rounds of interviews with Boss Jiang, the crowd asked questions such as "Is she married?" "How much money can I make a year from opening a bookstore?"

"Xiaoqiu... you're thirty, right?"

"No, twenty-seven, it's still early," Ji's father also interrupted with a smile in order to save his face: "Children in the city are late to talk about marriage, and it's popular over there."

"It's not a big city," someone muttered, "It sounds like we don't have as much money as here."

The uncle who asked the question didn't quite agree with this statement, and solemnly said in a fatherly tone: "Look at you, you look upright, and your work is... not too bad. You are also a teacher. Why don't girls like you? "

The people next to him also echoed: "That's right, it's already three..."

Jiang Wang suddenly made a puff while drinking tea.

When he poofed, everyone else looked over.

"It's nothing, keep talking." Jiang Wangren said with a smile, "Pretend I didn't hear."

In fact, Ji Guoshen hadn't spoken to his son for a long time, and he wanted to chat with his son, but he didn't expect his relatives to move so quickly after hearing the news, he was a little embarrassed and couldn't save face, so he changed the subject and said, "Talk about your bookstore, how about an online shop? "

Before I finished speaking, another mother-in-law interrupted: "I haven't finished yet."

"Third son, you too. If your son is too old, if you don't help me out, those who don't know will think that you are parents and don't care!"

"The Chinese New Year just happens to be very busy. The girls in our village are all virtuous and generous. No one is better than those city people who have read a lot!"

Jiang Wang couldn't help laughing again.

The uncle felt that this foreigner meddled with their family affairs, and was slightly displeased, so he pretended to be polite and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Actually," Jiang Wang said slowly, "He's already talked about five or six girlfriends."

Everyone kept silent, turned their heads to look at Ji Linqiu, with a look on their faces, "You kid is playing so big behind our backs".

Ji Linqiu: ...

Jiang Wangxin thought that making up some non-existent ex-girlfriends would be better than harming innocent little girls, so he randomly picked up a cigarette from one person, lit it lightly and took a sip.

"I've known him for a long time. Children go to school in his class. I pick him up every day."

"I saw it," the man said in a low voice, "a girl came here to deliver meals to him, as if she was working at the tax bureau."

The aunt next to me exclaimed: "The conditions are good!"

"As a result," Jiang Wang glanced at Ji Linqiu, and betrayed brightly: "The short-haired girl just walked away, and a long-haired girl came from behind and brought him fruits, all of which were washed and cut."

"Hey—" Everyone looked at Ji Linqiu sharply: "I didn't expect that!"

Ji Linqiu stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, he didn't expect this guy to play so big when he came up: "What's the matter?"

"No, absolutely nothing, I made it all up." Jiang Wang immediately fell silent, and stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth to keep up with the zipper: "It's all my nonsense, I went out to take a shower and bye."

"Hey hey don't go!"

"Linqiu, how do you greet guests, and don't let others talk!"

"What time is it? Let's talk and talk again!"

There were also other bachelors muttering beside him: "Really, is he still making trouble outside?"

"You don't know." Jiang Dazui said violently again: "Do you know what style the little girl likes most now?"

"The one full of tendon and flesh? Look at the butcher? Hey, girls like him like that now," Jiang Wang squinted at Ji Linqiu, envious and a little jealous: "Look at the bookish, gentle and gentle, a few words Words can fascinate people to come to look for them every day.”

"I took him to the provincial capital last time, and by the way, I helped negotiate contracts with my company's customers—you know my company, the one that sells books and sells them abroad."

Everyone nodded in unison: "I know."

Jiang Wang slapped his hands: "He first helped me negotiate the contract, but later he disappeared. Guess what?"

Ji Guoshen was stunned when he heard this: "Where did Linqiu go?"

"He actually secretly dated an American girl for drinks, coffee, and coffee."

Before the words were finished, there were exclamations of yin and yang and strange sounds one after another, which was much more lively than watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Ji Linqiu tried to explain: "That's obviously—"

"Obviously it's about cooperation." Jiang Wang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a brotherly face that I understand you: "I understand, I understand everything."

"I didn't see it," said the aunt next to her with emotion, "Xiaoqiu used to look at Wen Wen quietly, so he can flirt with girls?"

"Now it's the guy like him who is the best at teasing!" A man interjected, "I saw a girl who ran away with someone like him! After running away for a few days, she was dumped and came back to me crying. You are angry." People are not angry!"

Ji Linqiu hasn't come back for five years, and in just a few words, his image has changed from "an honest and dull poor teacher" to "a smooth-talking generation of rascals", and the number of ex-girlfriends is conservative at six.

"It's not so exaggerated." Ji Linqiu pressed his brows and said, "Speak less, I can't explain it."

"Then explain to those two women last time," Jiang Wang had already taken a pear that someone else had peeled, and said naturally, "We were eating and suddenly ran down from upstairs to see you, and asked When will you reply to their message, who are they?"

The uncle was stunned: "Isn't that the woman from the Tax Bureau?"

"No," Jiang Wang stretched out his hand and gestured: "Dyeing big waves, smearing red lips, it looks like she is from a big city, Ji Linqiu, why did you recruit her, do you plan to have a good time with her?"

Ji Linqiu: ...

The uncle who was trying to be a father was a little hesitant in the middle of becoming a father: "Xiao Ji, how can you not take responsibility as a man?"

"You can't just deceive people's feelings!"

Ji Linqiu's heart was broken, and he followed Jiang Wang's words, and smiled innocently: "I really can't help it."

"I get tired of talking for two days every time, and I really don't want to be responsible."

The relatives were so excited when they heard it, they talked like catching the parties in the eight o'clock show, completely forgetting the purpose just now.

"How can you do this!"

"Hey, which one is the most beautiful, do you have a picture?"

"You are capable! Why don't you introduce one to your cousin??"

Jiang Wang picked up the phone: "There are photos, I secretly took a picture of the big wave last time!"

"Show me!! Show me!!"

"Boss Jiang, have another cigarette, don't be polite!"
