"It seems that everything is fine now?"
Jiang He said without turning his head as he leaned against the window sill and secretly watched the two of them leave.
"Probably … maybe they will come back in a few days."
Xu Qing pinched her butt from behind. Jiang He turned around suddenly and almost jumped up. "What are you doing?!"
"I just want to be a bitch."
"…"
"…"
Seeing Jiang He's unfriendly look, Xu Qing slowly turned his head and avoided her eyes.
Women are very strange. It's okay to touch them when they are sleeping, but it's not okay to pinch them when they are dressed neatly during the day.
The phone rang. Jiang He rubbed her butt and finally stopped glaring at him. She picked up the phone and listened for a while. Then she ran out and came back with a small package after a while.
"What is that?"
"Lavender seeds."
Jiang He opened the package and took out the clay pot that she won from the Chinese Valentine's Day hoops last time.
There were two roses in the pot. After the flowers withered, it had been empty. She wanted to put the ginger sprouts from the TV in it, but the pot had a small hole for ventilation and could not be filled with water. So she put it aside.
The seeds bought online arrived. Jiang He took the pot and went out again. She put some soil outside and came back for a while. Then she planted the lavender in the pot and put it on the windowsill to wait for it to germinate.
"Can it be planted?" Xu Qing expressed doubts about her operation. He originally bought it for her to plant succulents.
Jiang He was full of confidence. She watered it and clapped her hands. "Definitely."
Now there was a ginger sprouts, a pot of cactus, and a newly planted lavender at home.
Xu Qing glanced around and felt a little emotional. It was really good to plant some flowers and plants at home. This was the magic of women.
If he was a man, he would definitely not be interested in taking care of these flowers and plants. Although the few he planted did not need to be taken care of.
"Look after it. Don't let White Gourd knock it over."
"Then I will raise it inside."
Jiang He took the jar and moved to the bedroom to avoid being hit by Xu Qing's jinx.
Xu Qing's crow's mouth was sometimes very accurate. She didn't know if it was because of the lack of information or something else, but he always got it right.
"You guys have encountered them catching electric fish?"
"Yes, I have."
"Are you nervous?"
"I'm just fishing. Why are you so nervous?" Jiang He didn't seem to care. Xu Qing didn't know if she was really as confident as she said.
Two beautiful girls fishing with a stool, and a female fishing buddy … Just thinking about it seemed quite refreshing.
After all, those who fished were often a group of stinky men. It was not that women could not be fished, but the proportion was small. Moreover, they sometimes had to bask in the sun. With such leisure time, more people chose to wander around the mall in high heels or drink afternoon tea.
"Confucius said, 'When three people walk together, there must be a teacher.' Ding Yi said that weakness and ignorance were not obstacles to human survival, but arrogance was. Do they mean the same thing? "
"More or less."
"So be humble. Young Hero Xu, your swordsmanship is very good now. It's not worse than mine."
"… You are mocking me, not being humble."
"I'm not mocking you. It's really good."
"Shut up."
Xu Qing was editing the video. Another wave of movies was released during the National Day. Not only did he have to edit the materials, but he also had to write comments on the good ones and complain about the bad ones. He had been busy for nearly a month.
"When Confucius traveled around the world, he actually wandered around Shandong. When you travel north and south of the Yangtze River, you can fly from Inner Mongolia to Guangdong in a day. You are even better than him."
"So good?"
"Yes, you can look at the map. I will go with you wherever you want to go. In fact, I haven't been far away many times. The furthest I went was to Emei for my graduation trip. It was not very enjoyable."
As Xu Qing spoke, he remembered that he was beaten by a monkey when he went to Emei. He looked at Jiang He sideways. In the future, he would definitely not be bullied by beasts when he went out to play with the heroine.
"Are we going to take a plane?" Jiang He asked.
"Sure, but you have to choose a place far away. Otherwise, we'll arrive before the plane even takes off. You can use all the money you've saved to go out and have fun. You can also invite me along. Just treat it as a reward for taking care of you for so long."
"I feel that I have always been the one raising you." Jiang He pointed at the map on his phone and said.
"Really?"
"Look at you sitting here every day. I mopped the floor, cleaned the room, cooked the meals. When it's time to eat, you wash your hands and wash your hands. Am I not the one raising you?"
"Thank you, heroine. Come and give me a reward."
"You want to take advantage of me again."
Jiang He did not fall for it. She enlarged the map and searched for her Jiang City. Only then did she feel the vastness of the world.
There was a province outside the city, a country outside the province, and a continent outside the country. In this world, she was just an insignificant speck of dust.
"The world is so big."
"Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Do you?"
"Let's finish the things at hand first. I haven't gotten the identity yet."
…
In Lidong, the cold wind gradually blew.
In Jiang City, which had four distinct seasons, the leaves on the roads were almost all gone, leaving only bare branches and a few scattered dead leaves. For no reason, it looked a little bleak.
When Jiang He went out, she was held back by Xu Qing. He carefully helped her zip up her coat. Jiang He jumped up and down, looking into the distance with her little face.
"It's going to snow soon, right?"
"You like snow so much?" Xu Qing asked. This was not the first time that Jiang He looked forward to snow.
"I feel like this year is going to pass soon." Jiang He sighed. After he helped her zip up her coat, she swung her sleeves and walked two steps quickly, turning in a circle.
"Going out to play?"
When they arrived at the gate, Zhao Shu looked at the two of them and greeted them with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm going to fill up the files."
"Oh, it's almost done, right?"
"Soon, soon."
Xu Qing waved his hand and nodded with a smile.
After the last visit, the man named Bi Feng came twice more and asked the neighbors about Jiang He's situation. It seemed that she was dragged by Zhao Shu to drink tea for a long time. This was what Xu Qing heard later, but he didn't see it.
He didn't know what the procedure was, but it seemed to be quite troublesome. After waiting for more than half a month, Jiang He was asked to go there again.
Beiwang Road was filled with a warm and joyous atmosphere. Not far away, someone was getting married, beating gongs and setting off electronic cannons. Jiang He took a few more glances and then looked at Xu Qing.
She wondered if Xu Qing could find a sedan … Since she was here, it was okay to do as the Romans do.
"What should a normal couple do when they get married?"
"They should have sex."
"I'm talking about something else." Jiang He expressionlessly ignored his request. Although he had seen a lot of porn, that kind of thing must wait until they got married.
"Well … pursue, be together, then propose, get married. It's that simple."
"How do you propose?"
"Kneel down and beg you to marry me."
"Not serious." Jiang He glanced at him and waited for the bus with his pocket in his pocket.
"This is very serious. That's how it is to propose."
Xu Qing felt wronged. Other people proposed with flowers and rings. Why was it not serious when it came to the little old lady?
"Then you kneel down."
“?”
Xu Qing looked left and right. There were pedestrians walking on the street. The bus they were waiting for had not arrived yet.
"Now, propose to you?"
"Didn't you say you want to kneel down and beg?"
"I didn't prepare anything. Flowers, rings … How can I beg?"
"It's not serious." Jiang He snorted. Just take the sedan back. Beg? Nonsense.
She couldn't imagine Xu Qing kneeling down and crying and begging her to marry him. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
Could they not get married? They had slept for so long.
The bus slowly came from afar and stopped in front of them. They got on one after another. Jiang He used the bus card and Xu Qing could only use the ride code on his phone.
When they arrived, Qin Hao was not there. No one greeted Xu Qing. He found a stool and sat down, waiting for Jiang He to go in and fill in the file.
He didn't know how Qin Hao handled it. It didn't look simple. Xu Qing didn't understand some parts. He asked Qin Hao, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, they checked Jiang He and handed it over to the household registration department.
Taking out his phone, Xu Qing asked Qin Hao if it was done this time.
"How many procedures are there?"
"I don't know. We are only responsible for the investigation and then give the approval to the leader. You just need to know that it's not easy. Don't be in a hurry."
"She is in a hurry to get married. Today, she urged me to propose to her."
"…"
Qin Hao quit the chat.
When Jiang He came out and shrugged at him, Xu Qing knew that he didn't get it. He shook his head and went out with her.
"You are awesome." Jiang He stared at him, making Xu Qing have the illusion that she wanted to hug him and take a bite out of him in this solemn and serious courtyard of the Land of Law.
"How am I awesome?"
"I am awesome."
Jiang He bit her lip, put her arm through his arm, and walked out of the courtyard. She swayed her body to show her good mood.
"It's done."
"Yes."
Xu Qing responded. After a few seconds, he reacted. "Ah?"
"I took a photo just now. Send it to us when it's done." Jiang He looked very calm.
"That's it?" Xu Qing still felt a little unreal and looked at her suspiciously.
"It's done." Jiang He nodded seriously.
"Why?"
"Because …" Bi Feng's words flashed in her mind. "You made me normal."
"…"
Xu Qing was puzzled. "Then why did you look helpless when you came out?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise when the express delivery arrived." Jiang He tightened her arms and shook him hard. "But I couldn't help it. I told you after two steps."
"…"
"…"
"Why do I feel that you are silly?" Xu Qing was confused. In his imagination, at this time, Jiang He must be very excited to hug him and spin him in circles. The two of them would be very excited and then run to have a big meal and drink some wine to express their happiness.
But …
"It's really done?" He still felt a little dazed.
"It's done. An orphan who wants to be a normal person returns to normal life with the help of Mr. Xu, a warm-hearted citizen."
"…"
The look in Jiang He's eyes could not be faked.
What she had been looking forward to happened just like that. There was no excitement and excitement as she had expected. It seemed that she had been mentally prepared.
"Then let's … go and have a meal?" Xu Qing held her hand tightly and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"Where?"
"Well …"
The two figures gradually disappeared on the road.
…
Zhou Suzhi saw the two of them carrying big and small bags of vegetables and a chicken. She was also confused and turned to look at the calendar. There was no festival today.
"Mom! Where's my dad? "
"Your dad isn't back yet. You guys …"
"I haven't been here for a few days. Jiang He said he missed your dishes, so I bought some and brought them over."
"…"
Zhou Suzhi looked at Xu Qing and did not believe a word.
But even if she did not believe it, she was still quite happy to hear it.
"You two won the lottery?" She took the dishes and asked.
"We won the lottery … We don't buy anything. We don't do that kind of speculation. What we need is to be down-to-earth, be a serious person, and work hard. Everything has to be fought for with our own hands. How can we rely on that kind of illusory thing …"
As Xu Qing nagged, he took off his jacket and helped Jiang He take off her jacket as well, revealing their matching sweaters. He seemed to be flaunting them.
"Let's stew the pork ribs. Cola ribs are not as fragrant."
"You … Jiang He, what's wrong with him?" Zhou Suzhi felt that there was something wrong with Xu Qing today.
He took off his coat and sat on the sofa. His posture was just like Xu Wenbin …
"To tell you the truth, I just miss you," Xu Qing said.
"Get lost. I'm not talking to you."
Zhou Suzhi looked at the time. It was not long before Xu Wenbin came back. Jiang He had already gone to wash the vegetables with a smile. She also went into the kitchen to see if the ingredients Xu Qing bought were wilted or spoiled. She did not trust Xu Qing's shopping experience at all.
Fortunately, they were all fresh. They must have been picked by Jiang He. Zhou Suzhi was very satisfied with the ingredients.
Xu Qing took a big apple from the fridge, wiped it with his hand, and ate it directly. He walked around the house and went to the balcony in his sweater. He watched the sun move to the west and tightened his clothes.
After a while, Xu Wenbin's car arrived downstairs. He parked the car, tidied his clothes, carried his bag, and went into the corridor.
In the distance, Qin Hao rode the electric scooter into the community. His body was straight, and there was a uniform in the basket.
"Haozi!"
"Hmm?" Qin Hao was experienced. He looked up when he heard the sound.
"I'll treat you to an apple!"
"Throw it down!"
"I've already eaten it, and you still want to eat it? That's disgusting." Xu Qing took a bite. It was crisp and sweet.
"…"
Bloody hell … Qin Hao wished he could grab an apple and throw it at him.
"Thank you."
"Yep." Qin Hao curled his lips. The electric scooter slowly stopped downstairs. He lifted it with his hands and legs and placed it there.
"I've already said that as long as I'm normal, I should be able to resume my normal life."
He muttered and looked up at Xu Qing. Xu Qing was leaning against the railing and smiling.
Qin Hao gave him the middle finger. He turned around and went home. His old man was still waiting for him to cook.
Xu Wenbin came back to the kitchen and looked at the balcony. He put down his bag, took off his coat, and poured himself a glass of water.
"Dad, your car is quite old. When are you going to get a new one?" Xu Qing turned back to the house from the balcony.
Xu Wenbin was immediately vigilant. "What are you trying to do?"
He had driven that car for less than two years. What the hell was there to get a new one!
