Xiaoyan had returned to his home for the New Year. There were only Cheng Yulan and her husband at home. The big living room was a little deserted.
Fortunately, they had lived together for most of their lives and were used to each other. Usually, Old Man Wang would watch TV when he had nothing to do, and Cheng Yulan would go out to play mahjong. Anyway, they would not forget to buy groceries on time.
"The little girl is not here, so it can't be lively. You two sit for a while."
Cheng Yulan poured tea for them and invited them to take a seat with a smile. She also sat down and rubbed her thighs as she carefully looked at Jiang He, who was munching on melon seeds. She expressed her deep approval, "This girl is really pretty!"
"This boy has good taste." Old Man Wang came out with a plate of cut fruits and was very welcoming of Xu Qing's visit.
In the past, when Xu Wenbin and his wife lived here, they often brought their daughter over to visit. Later, when their children left, they didn't have much contact. After Xu Wenbin and his wife moved away, Xu Qing came back to live here on her own. When she had nothing to do, she liked to chat with the older generation.
She didn't know how this boy grew up. He used to squat at the entrance of the community with a cigarette in his mouth and chat with the security guards for the whole afternoon. He was in his twenties but lived like an old man in his sixties.
"Uncle Wang, what you said … I should add that he has good taste like my father. He praised four people at once." Xu Qing was not modest at all.
"You are so talkative." Cheng Yulan laughed and turned to Jiang He and said, "This boy has a glib tongue. You have to be careful of him …"
Seeing Jiang He blushing, she stopped talking in a daze. What happened?
"If I don't have a glib tongue, I won't be able to cheat her. It took me three years to cheat her."
Xu Qing stretched out three fingers and said seriously, "Three years. Auntie, do you know how I spent these three years?"
"Hmph, let alone three years, it is worth it if you can get her in five years."
Cheng Yulan snorted and didn't notice that Jiang He was blushing. This girl was too honest. Compared to Xu Qing, she was much more active.
Xu Qing's words were pleasing to the eye. Finding a girlfriend who didn't like to talk, could that be considered complementary?
They seemed to be a good match.
"What should we do now? You're always loitering around at home, and you're still fiddling with your computer? This is pretty good. You don't have to go out, you don't have to sunbathe, and you have freedom … "
"It would be great if my mother and the others had the same thoughts as you! Every day, she thinks that I'm not doing proper work. My girlfriend and I are having a good time at home. For the past year, we've been looking for something on the internet … Ahem, I don't think we're making much money, but it's enough to support ourselves. "
Jiang He pricked up his ears to listen to their chatter. He even forgot to eat the melon seeds. He picked up the glass of water and kept blowing on it.
He stole glances at Xu Qing from time to time.
If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't familiar with the current situation, she would definitely praise him!
Half a year had turned into a few years, and three years of courting had to go back to university. After confirming their relationship for more than a year, the time they lived here was also blurred. A rough story of meeting, meeting, and chasing after a beauty was formed.
"When will Xiaoyan come back? Jiang He really likes that girl … "
"He'll come back after the New Year. It won't take a few days. He'll stay here for half a month before school starts." Cheng Yulan smiled and lowered her voice. "If you like her, let's have one."
"Sure!"
Xu Qing promised solemnly. "Let's wait for the wedding banquet first."
"The girl is quite nice … Where are you from?"
"I used to live in Zhe City. Later, I came here," Jiang He said softly with his head lowered.
"Oh, it's quite far away … Did you have an online relationship?"
"No, we met here … We've been in Jiang City for many years," she answered.
"Very good, I thought it was an online relationship … You let him chase after you for three years. He really likes her.
Don't you know that he used to be as hairy as a monkey? He even had red bangs … Eh? "
Cheng Yulan came to her senses and looked at Xu Qing with a smile. "He got her because he cut his hair, didn't he? You have to take good care of him. "
"Of course, of course." Xu Qing didn't refute. He refilled the tea twice and sat there for a long time before he got up and was ready to leave.
In the end, Cheng Yulan sent them out. She turned back to clean up the table and shook her head with a smile. "This guy looks more and more mature as he grows up. He just can't change his temper."
"He has a good temper, unlike our daughter who gets impatient after just a few words …"
"Isn't it because she dislikes you for being naggy?"
"Dislikes me or dislikes you?" The old man was not happy. He snorted for a moment and suggested, "Next time, neither of us should talk to her. Let's see if she's still patient."
"You said that?"
"I said that."
…
"You know about online relationships?"
Xu Qing asked after they got out of the door.
Jiang He always gave him a little surprise from time to time. He didn't know what she had learned.
"Online relationships refer to a relationship developed by two people through the Internet. It's a new interpersonal relationship created by the Internet," Jiang He said. "Two people can satisfy their emotional needs without meeting each other."
"Okay, okay. I guess you've searched for dating."
"I haven't."
"Then how do you know about online relationships?" Xu Qing looked at her.
"Baidu told me."
"I'll tell you if you don't search it?"
"Yes." Jiang He's expression was sincere. She gestured and said, "I just opened it like that. There are a lot of small words on it. I just need to click on it."
"Okay, I believe you."
Xu Qing shrugged and went downstairs to go home. He turned on the computer and searched for online relationships on Baidu.
What she said was exactly the same as the Wikipedia entry.
Looking at Jiang He who was feeding the cat, he sighed. He suddenly didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to teach her to go online.
What about the original flavor … it was too far-fetched.
However, without a systematic education, the Internet was undoubtedly the best window to understand the modern world and open one's eyes to it.
"Actually, I like socks. Those thin, long, black socks."
"What?"
"The original flavor." Xu Qing leaned on the sofa and looked at her.
Jiang He froze on the spot.
Seeing her like this, Xu Qing was curious. "Do you know what it looks like?"
"You look at others on the street."
"…"
This time it was Xu Qing's turn to play dead.
It was dusk. The sun shone in through the window. Jiang He played games for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, she went into the kitchen to cook. There were four dishes for the two of them. Two plates of stir-fry, a large plate of roast duck, a plate of cold pig head noodles, and a bowl of egg drop soup. It was a very sumptuous meal.
It was the New Year. She had to reward herself.
"I definitely won't look at others in the future." Xu Qing took the chopsticks and smelled the aroma of the food on the table. "Actually, I didn't look at them much. I just took a few glances when I saw their long legs. This is human nature. How can you tell if you didn't stare at them?"
"I didn't say I won't let you look."
"I won't look. I definitely won't look."
"So what if I took a look? I like to look at them sometimes. Other than being a little unrestrained, they are … quite beautiful. "Jiang He stared at his face, trying to figure out if his thoughts were normal.
"You think they are beautiful?"
Xu Qing was silent for a moment. "Is it the kind of beautiful that I want to wear?"
"No … it's the kind of beautiful that I want to touch."
？？？
Xu Qing felt that he needed to ask Baidu.
