She had shepherd's purse for dinner.
Jiang He liked it very much after she found it in the market. But when she saw the price, she felt it was not worth it.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Qing bought it for her. No matter whether it was wild or not, it could be sold and was worth a lot of money if there was no place to pick it.
It was refreshing and delicious to eat after boiling water. Xu Qing also liked it.
"Did you often eat this at that time?"
"Sometimes."
"Do you miss home?"
"No, it's just … just …" Jiang He couldn't tell the feeling in her heart.
If she was given a chance to choose now, to go back or stay here, she would definitely choose to stay.
But she would always miss those people and those things.
If she went back like this … Second Mother would definitely scold her for being stupid. She couldn't even beg for a good life, but she still wanted to go back to that bitter era.
What was she if not stupid?
"Two years at most. I'll take you back to Gusu to see if there is anything that hasn't changed, such as the Cold Mountain Temple … You must have seen a lot of things in Jianghu. Like those in Chang 'an, some of them are still the same."
Xu Qing had this plan for a long time. No matter what, she had to go to those places that she should go.
"It's also a wish. The world changes into mulberry fields. The past is the past. No matter what crimes you committed in the past, it's all left at that time. You don't have to think about it …"
"I've checked the current appearance of Gusu on the Internet … I've seen it." Jiang He said, "It's not the same at all."
"Of course it's not the same."
"Then you don't have to see it anymore." She was more rational than Xu Qing thought.
Life was good now. It was enough. Let the past be the past.
As for Gusu, it was enough to keep it in mind.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xu Qing agreed. Now Jiang He was in a transition zone. She was not as ignorant as when she first came, but her thinking mode was different from modern people.
After dinner, Xu Qing washed the dishes as usual. Jiang He took out her mobile phone and looked at her wallet. There were more than 4,000 yuan in it.
This was what was left after selling all the gold coins and returning the money to Xu Qing for the TV.
It wasn't a lot, but for an ancient person like her who had been here for less than a year, it was indeed a huge sum of money.
It was also thanks to her desire for money and to pay back that she had earned so much by moving bricks with her bare hands.
"This is a time when you can live well if you work hard, isn't it?"
She asked after receiving her first large sum of money.
"Yes."
Xu Qing's answer was very straightforward. "But this is only relative. If you think your current life is good, then it's good. Because you don't have the pressure and competition from other aspects, and you don't have to worry about society's judgment.
When your selfish desires grow, this little bit of money will only make you feel pain. "
"What selfish desires?"
"Fame, wealth, status, and material comforts in this society."
Fame, wealth, status, material comforts …
Jiang He stared at his wallet in a daze.
After Xu Qing finished washing the dishes, he came out and sat on the sofa. Before he could move, he saw Jiang He put down the phone, turned around, and hugged him.
"What … what's wrong?" Xu Qing was stunned by her sudden action.
"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to hug me, but your answer was definitely yes, so I left it out."
"…"
Xu Qing couldn't understand her thoughts, but this didn't affect Jiang He from closing her eyes and enjoying the warmth of the two after dinner.
She smelled the scent that Xu Qing had once mentioned.
Everyone had their own unique scent. If they liked it, they would feel that it smelled good.
His body was warm, and there was no difference between fragrance and odor. It only made people feel comfortable.
"You're very gentle," Jiang He said.
"Do you know what gentle means?" Xu Qing tried to keep up with her thoughts.
"It means that you can't beat me, so you can only carefully lie to me and don't dare to be too rough."
Damn …
Xu Qing gave up thinking about it.
"Can I expose my identity as an unregistered resident now?"
"It's not a big deal if you expose it now, but it's better not to. It's related to the difficulty of getting a certificate in the future."
"Why?"
"Because it will give them a record of everything … When everything is ready, it's better to catch them off guard than to show up rashly." Xu Qing said.
Jiang He hugged him without saying anything. Xu Qing didn't dare to move either. He had already tried it. The result of moving was that his hands would be held down by Jiang He …
At most, he could only hold her back a little bit.
"I want to be on TV."
After a moment of silence, Jiang He said.
Xu Qing was a little stunned. "Which TV?"
"That one. People will watch me play games, and then I can make money."
Jiang He gestured to the computer. "Didn't you say that it might be popular, and there's a slight chance that my identity as an unregistered resident will be exposed …"
She lowered her head and thought for a while. "If it's not exposed, this kind of … job will also be beneficial to my identity in the future, right? It can prove my existence. "
"Logically —"
Xu Qing frowned and thought for a moment. "There are pros and cons, but it's not as simple as you think. Maybe no one will watch it …"
"I've done my research." Jiang He said, "I've thought about it."
"You've thought about it for a long time?"
"Yes, I've thought about it for a long time."
Xu Qing fell silent. He closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Actually, we can open a shop. Just like how I bought you heat pads or something like that, that certain treasure shop …"
"I've also done my research."
Jiang He leaned on his shoulder. "I've done my research after what you said last time. I have to give it a try."
"…"
"You don't seem to be willing?" Jiang He asked.
"No, it's just … let me think about it."
Xu Qing said softly and hugged Jiang He tightly. He buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath. "Let me think about it …"
The mobile phone on the table rang. The two of them turned to look at it. After it rang for three seconds, Jiang He took the phone and handed it to Xu Qing. It was Qin Hao.
From the sound of the wind, they could tell that Qin Hao was outside. He might be on his way home.
"How's the matter with your girlfriend?"
"How's what?"
"Isn't she an unregistered resident? She can't stay in the dark forever. I've asked around. This matter is quite complicated. If you want to do it, pick a time to come to the household registration office and see if there's a way to solve it for her. "
"Solve … of course, it has to be solved. What did you ask?"
"It depends on her situation. It's useless to just say that she's not related. Now the investigation is very strict …"
Qin Hao rambled on and on. Xu Qing leaned on the sofa and held the mobile phone to his ear, listening to it with Jiang He.
Seeing Jiang He sitting cross-legged, Xu Qing reached out to poke Jiang He's toes. Jiang He's expression tensed up, and she stared at him with a straight face.
"We'll talk about it another day. When are you free to have skewers together?"
Qin Hao said, "That'll have to wait …"
"It's okay. There's no rush."
"You're not anxious about your girlfriend's matter?"
"Who knows when we'll break up …" Xu Qing glanced at Jiang He. "If we break up, we won't have to trouble ourselves."
"…"
Qin Hao was speechless. After a while, he said, "I'm hanging up."
