In the living room.
Xu Wenbin was holding a large teacup. He seemed to be watching the TV with relish, but in fact, he was giving Xu Qing looks from time to time.
Xu Qing was like a blind man, he couldn't see anything.
"Originally, Pingping said she wanted to go to the movies with me. Her membership is about to expire, and she can get two movie tickets at a discount. She asked me to accompany her, but now she pushed it to tomorrow." Jiang He whispered to Xu Qing.
"What movie?"
"Hello, novelist."
"… It's pretty good." Xu Qing scratched his nose and glanced at Xu Wenbin. Xu Wenbin immediately moved his chin, but Xu Qing looked away again, which made him angry.
"Well … Didn't you say that you wanted to see what your mom bought?" Xu Wenbin finally said.
"Ah? Auntie went to buy groceries just now? "Jiang He reacted later. If she had known earlier, she would have gone with her.
"Oh, my mom likes to buy a bunch of groceries. She can't carry that much." Xu Qing went to the window and looked down. Then, he turned around and pulled Jiang He up, saying, "Let's go see if she's ready to come back."
"Sit down!" Xu Wenbin said unhappily.
Xu Qing sat down again, picked up an apple, and handed it to Jiang He. Jiang He did not want it, so he took it in his hand and played with it. Looking at Xu Wenbin's dark face, he thought for a while and finally got up. "I'll go to the balcony."
Xu Wenbin still did not trust him. He wanted to ask Jiang He, but he did not want him to interrupt.
He also did not want Xu Wenbin to ask anything. Not to mention that Jiang He might make a slip of the tongue, the old man's serious look …
He probably wouldn't be at ease if he didn't ask.
Holding onto the balcony railing, Xu Qing tilted his head and looked into the room. As someone who knew Jiang He's background, seeing Xu Wenbin's father, who dealt with cultural relics every day, talking to Jiang He, gave him an indescribable feeling.
Well, face-to-face communication with a person from the Tang Dynasty. Just this achievement alone, Xu Wenbin had already surpassed everyone in his unit. He could brag about it for the rest of his life — that is, if Xu Wenbin knew the truth.
"Rat!"
A small electric scooter slowly drove over from afar. Xu Qing yelled from upstairs. Qin Hao turned his head and looked around. Only when he raised his head did he see Xu Qing.
"What?"
"I'll treat you to an apple."
"There's something wrong with him." Qin Hao rode his electric donkey downstairs and looked back. Xu Qing was still leaning on the railing and looking in his direction.
"Do you have nothing better to do?"
"I really have nothing better to do," Xu Qing said.
"Wait!"
Qin Hao turned and ran upstairs. After a while, he appeared on the opposite balcony, holding a chain mail in his hand and putting it on. "You put it on too. Let's play?"
"You are the one who has a problem." Xu Qing looked at the fat man opposite and came to a very scientific and reasonable conclusion — Qin Hao's behavior was too stupid.
He took out his mobile phone and aimed it at the opposite building. Click click click click, two photos. Qin Hao was still shouting, "Wait, wait, I'm not done yet!"
Qin Maocai appeared on the side. He was very satisfied with his craftsmanship. If Xu Qing's suit was a pretty girl from a humble family, then the suit he made was big and rough — no matter the material or what, it was bigger than Xu Qing's suit.
"Tie a rope here, so the weight won't be all on the shoulders, and it looks good in it..." Qin Hao tied the "belt" over there and explained to Xu Qing. Last time, he felt that something was missing in Xu Qing's sixty-year cycle. Later, he was reminded by Qin Maocai that he should tie the waist to bear the weight together. Otherwise, it would be loose and the shoulders would be tired.
The two of them talked in the air. Xu Qing held the mobile phone and refocused, putting Qin Maocai in the frame.
"What are they doing?" Jiang He came to his side and looked at the father and son of the Qin family opposite.
"That guy wants me to take a picture of him from a distance. Are you done talking?"
Xu Qing looked back and saw Xu Wenbin was also standing at the door of the balcony, squinting at the opposite building.
"Yes." Jiang He nodded, took the apple from Xu Qing, and took a big bite.
In the opposite building.
Qin Maocai's smile gradually disappeared. Seeing the three heads on the opposite balcony, and then looking at Qin Hao, he slowed down the action of helping Qin Hao tidy up the armor.
"You only know how to play every day!"
“？”
Qin Hao was confused.
"If you have the time, go out and get to know more people. What's wrong with that?"
"..."
On the other side, Xu Wenbin pushed up his glasses and watched Qin Maocai and Qin Haodong put on the armor opposite. He held the cup in his hand and took a sip. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Are the two of them playing together?" Jiang He asked. He leaned on the railing and looked left and right, looking downstairs.
"Yes. Both father and son are interesting."
Xu Qing took the picture and sent it to Qin Hao. Then he looked at Qin Maocai and Qin Hao talking.
As they talked, Qin Maocai patted Qin Hao's back. Qin Hao didn't feel anything because he was wearing armor. He looked at Qin Maocai waving his hand, which made Xu Qing laugh.
Looking back, Xu Wenbin was sitting in the living room. Xu Qing moved closer to Jiang He and said in a low voice, "What did he ask you?"
"It's about where we used to be in Zhe City and where our home is. Do you remember anything like that?" Jiang He replied in a low voice. He glanced behind him and asked Xu Qing, "Is your dad going to …"
"Yes, he's going to help us." Xu Qing's lips moved slightly, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito. "Don't call me your dad. Remember, next time you come, just call him dad."
"..."
Jiang He opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He took a big bite of the apple and looked downstairs at the door while chewing.
Zhou Suzhi would definitely come back from there if she wanted to buy groceries. If she brought a lot, they would go downstairs to help.
"Do you want some?" Jiang He raised his hand. Xu Qing tilted his head and took a bite.
...
"Look at him, then look at you!" Qin Maocai sat on the bench on the balcony and opened the dog cage. He patted Xiongba's head and said in a disgusted tone.
"Dad, I'm here," Qin Hao said.
"Did he talk to you?"
"..."
Qin Hao turned around with his phone. Out of sight, out of mind. He turned on the front camera and took a few pictures of himself. He was not satisfied. After comparing for a long time, he still felt that Xu Qing's pictures were better. His face didn't look so big.
He found Xiao Li in his WeChat and clicked "Send".
"Dad, should we tidy up our room? Make it tidy and beautiful. " Qin Hao looked around the room and then looked at the dog cage. "Change the kennel. I bought a nice one on Taobao. Where did you find this iron cage?"
"Why do you want to change it to such a nice one?"
"It looks comfortable."
"I think I should arrange a blind date for you. Otherwise, if I get stabbed again one day, I'll have to..."
"Dad, I'm talking about the dog cage."
"I'm talking about the blind date."
"People get married late in our city. This is the national condition. Don't listen to Second Uncle. How can my cousin's village compare to ours?"
"Look at little Qing Zi. Look at that... that prince? Is the invitation still in your drawer? "
"..."
He couldn't compare.
As a dignified police officer, he sacrificed himself for his career. Love was a small matter …
He didn't dare to say this to Qin Maocai.
Ding dong.
The phone rang. Qin Hao looked at Qin Maocai. Qin Maocai also looked up. Neither father nor son said anything. Qin Hao turned on the phone as if nothing had happened and turned back to the house.
If possible, it smelled really good.
...
Xu Qing and Jiang He finished eating apples on the balcony and went back to the house together. Xu Wenbin was looking at Lady Qing's home page on his phone.
"Why haven't I heard of playing with maggots?"
"You don't understand young people's business."
"You young people like to play with maggots?"
"I'm going to cook. What maggots? Don't you feel disgusting?" Zhou Suzhi came back with the dishes. As soon as she entered the house, she heard their conversation and suddenly felt that both of them were abnormal.
Jiang He was still the best. Although she didn't put on makeup or dress up, she made people feel comfortable at first glance. She was quiet and diligent. As soon as she entered the door, she ran over to help her take the dishes and put them in the kitchen.
Jiang He went into the kitchen to help Zhou Suzhi. Xu Qing took the remote control and flipped through the programs on the TV. He explained, "The toilet is not the toilet you think it is. Isn't there a saying that a toad lies on the foot? It doesn't bite but it's disgusting. When people like that gather together..."
"It's still disgusting." Xu Wenbin understood halfway through.
Xu Qing shrugged.
"Actually, it's very interesting sometimes. You don't play much with the internet. This is called a generation gap. We have a generation gap." He gestured with his fingers and went into the kitchen to see Jiang He and Zhou Suzhi busy.
Jiang He was beating eggs while Zhou Suzhi was cleaning the drumsticks. The two of them chatted harmoniously.
"Wrap the corpse of the mother chicken with its unborn child..."
"Get lost!" Zhou Suzhi was about to wrap the drumsticks with eggs when she suddenly shouted.
"Okay."
Xu Qing retreated. "Dad, did you see that?"
"..."
Xu Wenbin couldn't be bothered with him. He held his teacup and drank slowly.
The kitchen was sizzling, and the aroma of fried drumsticks wafted out.
After a while.
"Do you need money to buy a house?" Xu Wenbin suddenly asked.
"I don't know. It's too early to say."
"Oh."
Xu Wenbin had just thought of it. He didn't consider it thoroughly before. He was worried that Jiang He had an unknown background...
Xu Qing was a smart person. Only a ghost could deceive him. Sure enough, Xu Wenbin thought of the link that he had missed — it was the matter of buying a house.
Jiang He had no identity, so he could only write Xu Qing's name on the property book.
Deceive?
No way.
As long as Xu Qing planned to convert the money into fixed assets such as a house or a car, there was no possibility of being deceived by someone without an identity. On the contrary, it was more stable than finding a normal girlfriend with an identity.
This guy...
Xu Wenbin felt very complicated.
His previous worries were all for naught. The starting point was wrong. If Jiang He had an unknown background and wanted to deceive Xu Qing, she could only return empty-handed and be taken advantage of by Xu Qing.
If Xu Qing wanted to deceive Jiang He... there was no need for him to come to him for help and figure out a way to figure out his identity. There was no need for him to bring Jiang He home to introduce him to them.
With this logic straightened out, Xu Wenbin instantly had a feeling of being enlightened.
Looking at Xu Qing's expression, he should have understood it during the last conversation. In the end, he didn't understand and was despised by Xu Qing.
"Dad, why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Qing sensed Xu Wenbin's gaze and asked.
"You... are fine."
Xu Wenbin let out a sigh and shifted his gaze to the kitchen. He saw the busy figures of Jiang He and Zhou Suzhi.
"Are you tired?" he suddenly asked.
"How can I be tired? I'm just joking." Xu Qing shook his head.
"It's better to keep it simple."
"What else can I do?"
"That's true."
The two of them talked in riddles and chatted across servers in the same server.
Xu Wenbin's thoughts were not wrong, but reality did not match up. If it was someone other than Jiang He, and things were a little more complicated, Xu Qing might have thought in a roundabout way like him.
But it happened to be Jiang He.
"I've talked to Old Li about the generation gap before. It's quite true." Xu Wenbin looked at the TV as if he was talking to it.
"What happened?"
"He also told his daughter that six days a week, she could stay in the office with the air conditioner. She wouldn't be exposed to the wind and rain, and she wouldn't have to go out to bask in the sun. She could just sit in the chair and type on the keyboard to earn money. What's so tiring about that?"
Xu Qing was amused. "What did his daughter do?"
"Do what... I don't know. Anyway, you young people like to tinker around. Old Li couldn't figure it out. He told me that in the past, we had to get up early and work late, and we still had to mow the grass to feed the pigs. Why is it so hard to satisfy young people nowadays?"
Xu Wenbin wanted to sigh, but when he thought of Old Li's sigh, he held it back.
"I said the times have changed. Sitting in the cubicle, typing on the computer and communicating with stupid... that customer is really easier than feeding the pigs. Let the little girl go." Xu Qing fiddled with the remote control. "And that stupid... what leader, who wouldn't be happy if it was just typing on the keyboard? I can even get an audience to scold me when I make videos." He shook his head and smiled. "Not satisfied... You guys have suffered, so you always think that things are simple now. You have to think about it from the other side. When has earning money ever been simple?"
"I think you're quite simple," Xu Wenbin said.
"That's because you didn't see me scratching my head."
Xu Wenbin touched his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
Come to think of it, if earning money was simple, either the person was a genius, or the person's family had connections. There were probably only two possibilities.
Xu Qing might be smart, but he couldn't be considered a genius. As for unorthodox methods... in his opinion, they were unorthodox methods, and he was more familiar with them.
He thought it was simple because he didn't understand.
"In any case, I don't understand. If you think it's feasible, then what..." Xu Wenbin took out his mobile phone and swiped a few times with his finger. "I'll help you ask about Jiang He in the next two days."
"You haven't asked him yet?"
"I mean..."
Seeing Jiang He coming out with the dishes, Xu Wenbin didn't continue. Xu Qing also didn't say anything else. He smiled at Jiang He, got up, and went to the sink to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
Outside, the night had not fallen yet, and a crescent moon was already hanging in the sky.
Xu Wenbin turned on the lights in the living room and went to wash his hands. Xu Qing came out after wiping his hands. The father and son sat opposite each other at the table like trash, waiting for the meal to be ready.
"Have you washed your hands?" Zhou Suzhi asked from the kitchen.
"Yes!"
"Come and get some rice! Jiang He, don't worry about him. Let him come over himself. "
Zhou Suzhi's voice sounded in the kitchen. Xu Qing got up from the chair and said in a low voice, "Dad, Jiang He will definitely not be as fierce as my mom in the future."
"Try and let your mom hear that." Xu Wenbin glanced at him.
...
[What if my girlfriend also has a system? The story is super sweet.]
[Ah, I seem to have thought of this kind of outline before. The two of us work together to fleece the system, but I forgot about it because I didn't write anything...]
