The driver glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time and felt that the young couple was interesting.
The taxi arrived at Beiwang Road safely and stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Cheng Yulan and Zhao Shu were stretching their arms and kicking their legs, while the other was smoking happily.
The two of them were two typical examples. One of them thought that he was old, so he should take care of his body and do some exercise to try to live a few more years. The other thought that he was old and had one foot in the grave, so he should take a few more puffs. What are you waiting for?
"Are you resting?"
"Yes. Did you go somewhere far?"
"We went on a trip."
"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen you for a while."
The two of them passed by with backpacks and casually exchanged a few words. Cheng Yulan continued to move her arms and chat with Zhao Shu.
"I think they are children."
"Of course they have to get married first."
"They only thought of getting married when their stomachs are getting bigger."
"Want to bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"…"
While they were gossiping, Xu Qing and Jiang He returned home. When they left the house, they covered the computer, TV, and refrigerator with a piece of cloth, so there was no dust. It was just that they had not been in the house for half a month, so the room was a little cold and had a unique smell of emptiness. They opened the windows to ventilate the room.
Jiang He looked at the familiar layout and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like a long time since they had left home for half a month.
It was a common thing to go out in the village in the past. She had never felt this way.
Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat. She nonchalantly glanced at Xu Qing who was fiddling with the windows. She went back to the bedroom, put down her bag, and looked at her flowers.
She did not need to worry about the cactus. It would be fine even if she went out for a month or two. The ginger sprouts were always in the water, so there was no need to worry about them. Only the lavender on the windowsill needed to be taken care of.
Fortunately, the lavender that had sprouted when she left home had grown a large number of palm-sized leaves with thick veined patterns …
Huh?
"Your lavender looks really unique." Xu Qing touched his chin and walked over to take a look. He nodded. "Have you considered changing to a bigger pot? This is really hard to fit. "
"…"
Jiang He recalled the strange look in Xu Qing's eyes when he watched her play with the flowers and plants. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
Xu Qing did not say much. He went to open their backpacks, took out all the clothes that needed to be washed, and threw them into the washing machine. He also put away the small odds and ends they had bought in Suzhou at night and the spoils of war they had won.
Some of them could be placed on the computer desk as decorations, and some could be given to Jiang He as gifts to Ping Ping. If it was too expensive, it would be different if it was given by her best friend. She would either be comparing herself to Ping Ping or showing off. Thus, these little things were more suitable.
Men don't have to go through so much trouble. Give toys to Wang Zijun and Qin Hao? The two of them were so scared that their chrysanthemums tightened and they ran far away.
When Xu Qing finished packing his backpack, Jiang He was still studying his lavender. He scratched his head, puzzled.
Why did her lavender grow differently from the picture?
Seeing Jiang He looking at him suspiciously, Xu Qing hurriedly said, "Don't think too much. I didn't touch your flowers. You bought and planted them yourself."
"… I don't think these are flowers." Jiang He couldn't figure it out, so he just watered it.
No matter what it was, he would be able to tell when it grew up.
"If they're not flowers, what are they?"
"You must know." Jiang He said firmly. He raised his eyes and looked at him. He knew but didn't say anything. This guy was too bad.
"Jiang's lavender."
"Yup."
"Do you want to know? Call me hubby and I'll tell you. "
"Teacher Xu, let's spar."
"Boring."
Her rebellious phase had arrived. She always wanted to go against him. She wasn't cute at all.
Xu Qing sighed. He pinched his fingers and calculated when her rebellious phase would pass.
When they came back, it was already afternoon. The two of them went out for dinner. A big plate of fried pancakes cost seven yuan. They could eat half of their fill. It was much more comfortable than in Suzhou. It could also be paired with garlic. There was a pot on the table for them to take.
Seeing Jiang He eating the fried pancake and garlic happily, Xu Qing looked away. It was only a matter of time.
It was unrealistic for the female bandit to ask her to learn how to eat with a knife and fork. Not to mention whether Jiang He would have the patience to learn, no one would have such a good life, not to mention that they didn't have enough to eat.
It was not good to pick up White Gourd at night. They agreed to go tomorrow. After dinner, they went home. Xu Qing sat on the sofa and turned on the computer. Jiang He leaned against him and chewed on sweet potatoes.
She didn't like to eat them anymore. There were a lot of them that couldn't be sold, so she could only slowly solve them herself.
"Although I can definitely make this video this week, and it is a definite result in this timeline, before the weekend comes, it is still an uncertain superposition of the quantum state. There are countless possibilities.
As observers, if you see it in advance, the act of observation will cause it to collapse and become fixed. Simply put, it will lose the countless possibilities for it to become better … "
"You can make it sound like you're launching a rocket."
Jiang He pinched a sweet potato between her fingers and put it in her mouth. She raised her head slightly to look at the chandelier on the ceiling, slowly tasting it. At the same time, she curled her lips in disdain. She crossed her legs with her other hand.
"Don't you interrupt me."
"I'm a female bandit. My job is to interrupt people." Jiang He raised her eyebrows. She bit off a piece of sweet potato that had become soft and slowly chewed.
"How do you look like a female bandit? Aren't you a heroine? "
"I always have been."
"That's weird. Don't think too much. I seem to have become stupid after the trip to Suzhou."
Xu Qing fiddled with his computer. Beside him, Jiang He didn't respond. She looked up at the lights, thinking about something. After a long time, she finished eating the sweet potato. She sat quietly for a while and looked down at her clothes. Two years ago, she sat on this sofa and ate the food of this era for the first time — the porridge and side dishes that he had ordered.
She ate the porridge and side dishes that he had ordered and listened to him talk about things to take note of in this era.
At that time, she didn't even know what a television was. Now, she could understand Xu Qing's nonsense. This was all thanks to his constant nagging … Although it was annoying sometimes, it was indeed the most helpful. Without his nagging, she would have to figure it out on her own for a long time.
And as she became familiar with this place, Xu Qing's words gradually decreased. He didn't talk as long as he did when he first came. More often than not, he would act cheap from time to time.
Bad taste.
He obviously couldn't beat her, but he still provoked her.
Her gaze moved to Xu Qing's face. Jiang He bit her lip.
"Hey."
"Yes?"
"Old …"
Jiang He dragged his voice. Xu Qing was stunned. He looked at her with expectation and gradually became excited.
"… Thing!"
Jiang He raised her eyebrows and spat out two words. She put on her slippers and left. Humming a song, she went into the bedroom to study her flowers.
“？？”
…
The next day, she went to pick up White Gourd.
This silly thing seemed to be living a good life here. Zhou Suzhi was afraid that she would starve it. When Xu Qing and the others came back, it would be bad if they lost weight.
In just half a month, Xu Qing felt that it seemed to have gained a little weight, as if it was a big orange.
This couldn't do. It had to lose weight.
"Mom, I got you a safety charm. You can win easily when you play mahjong with this."
"Dad, this is a sandalwood bracelet with sandalwood fragrance … Smell it. It smells good, right? Jiang He bought it."
Xu Qing took out the things they brought back and gave one to each of them. "This is also an offering to the Buddha. It has reiki. If you go to the tomb and encounter a zongzi …"
Xu Wenbin stared at him.
"… Even if there are any evil spirits, this can flush them away."
"Am I afraid of that?" Xu Wenbin was very disdainful. Zongzi? That was something that only grave robbers could encounter. It had nothing to do with archaeologists. People lighting candles, ghosts blowing out the lanterns, surveying the Star Seeking Peak … Fancy things.
Although he said that, he still accepted the bracelet. It didn't matter if it was Jiang He or Xu Qing who bought it. Now that Xu Qing used Jiang He's name to give it to him, it definitely couldn't be bad, unless this fellow was also deceived.
One look and he knew it was worth more than that amulet.
Xu Wenbin was right. Among the things they brought back from Suzhou, this was the most expensive. The rest were just some small things. They were the kind of things that were given away for free when playing games or picked from the night market stalls.
Zhou Suzhi took the amulet and wanted to open it, but Xu Qing quickly stopped her. Who knows if this thing would work if she opened it.
Although she did not believe in this thing, it was better to have some psychological comfort when playing mahjong. Zhou Suzhi said that this thing was very good and did not want to open it.
"That day, your aunt brought Xiao Dong over. When Xiao Dong saw White Gourd, his eyes were shining. I told him that it was your pet, but he did not even dare to touch it." Zhou Suzhi kept the amulet and talked about what happened when they went on a trip.
Jiang He, who was hugging a winter melon, glanced at Xu Qing when he heard that.
"How did you cure him? It's been so long, and you are still the same. "
"I didn't touch him."
Xu Qing spread his hands innocently.
Zhou Suzhi rolled her eyes. In this big family, other than a few naughty children, Xu Qing was the most wicked thing. Those naughty children did not dare to attack him.
"What's so fun in Suzhou?"
"There's a broken Sword Pool and a broken temple. The city is quite fun, much better than those famous places. These places are not as good as their reputation. You guys should go out and play when you are free. Just don't go there based on their reputation."
"I'm not going. Nothing is better than home."
"Sigh, the environment there is better than Jiangcheng. We still have bare tree branches here. There are flowers everywhere, on the ground, on the trees, everywhere. There are cherry blossoms everywhere."
"I might as well play mahjong. Going so far to look at flowers … The photos you guys took are pretty good."
Zhou Suzhi took out her phone. She was too lazy to talk to Xu Qing. She came over to talk to Jiang He. The two of them had taken a lot of photos at the scenic spots.
Based on the experience of the old ladies who played mahjong with others, people usually met in-laws and settled the matter. Then, they would prepare the betrothal gifts and other things. The important thing was to have a banquet, then live together, collect the marriage certificate, take the wedding dress, or pick a day they liked …
These experiences were not useful for her. She might as well do as before and build a good relationship. After the two of them got married, it would be more convenient to urge the baby.
According to Xu Qing's character, she did not know how many years it would take before he was willing to have a baby. She had to urge him.
In addition, with Jiang He's work, it would not be good for her to play on the computer all day when she was pregnant. This was good.
"Dad, guess what I did this time?" Xu Qing came over proudly. Xu Wenbin knew that he was going to brag.
…
After picking up White Gourd and returning home, the small house became lively again. They were no longer alone.
Whether it was eating, boxing, practicing swordsmanship, or hugging and kissing, there was another pair of cat eyes watching them.
When the house did not have White Gourd, it always felt like something was missing.
On this day.
Jiang He carried his precious lavender out. Xu Qing was at home alone. He opened Taobao and searched for a long time. He bought some catnip for Jiang He to plant. He also ordered a colorful ball for White Gourd to play with so that it could exercise more.
It was good for weight loss. If one was too fat, he would not like to move and sleep. This way, he would get fatter and fatter. It was better to lose weight as soon as possible, or at least return to normal.
On the other side, Xu Wenbin thought for a long time and finally discussed with Zhou Suzhi.
"What do you think about not buying a car for him and letting him buy a house and get married earlier?"
"Hmm?"
"How much is it? Let's pay for it."
"You have to discuss this with Qing Zi and the others, right? Didn't you agree to give him the car? "Zhou Suzhi felt strange. Why did this guy suddenly change his mind?
Xu Wenbin frowned. He thought for a moment and said, "That's true. I have to talk to him."
"Didn't you say before that if he could do it himself, you would definitely not help him?"
"Look at these young people nowadays. How many of them really don't need help? I just …"
Xu Wenbin pondered for a moment and said unhappily, "I wanted him to go to work seriously before. He is so stubborn. He went to Suzhou and even jumped to save people … It was so cold last month, but this guy still dared to jump. I think he should get married as soon as possible."
"…"
"This is a good thing, but …" Xu Wenbin waved his hand and did not say much.
If he encountered diving, he might jump too. But when it came to his family, it was different. On one hand, he felt that it was good, but on the other hand, he felt that it was really dangerous.
He was very conflicted.
Xu Wenbin suddenly understood how Qin Maocai felt when he was guarding Qin Hao in the hospital.
They were all ordinary people.
They did not have superpowers. What was there to be proud of?
But he still felt that he had guts. This matter was done beautifully. He was just like an idiot who did not know fear.
…
In the afternoon.
Jiang He came back with her lavender in her arms. She looked unhappy. She took out her phone and wanted to give the shop a bad review.
She and Pingping studied it for a long time and were sure that it must be planted wrongly. Lavender did not have this kind of effect. It was not even a flower.
It was a waste of effort. It was all for nothing.
"You knew it long ago!"
"Knew what?" Xu Qing closed the book on his lap and raised his head to play dumb.
"You knew it was not lavender. You just lay there every day and watched me water it. You didn't even remind me."
Thinking of how he waited for lavender to grow every day like a fool while Xu Qing watched from the side, Jiang He gritted his teeth in anger.
"If it's not lavender, what else can it be?" Xu Qing looked at Jiang He hugging the flower pot. The image of Matilda in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" appeared in her mind. In some ways, it was a little similar.
If she had a short haircut and was hugging this flower pot, it would be quite exciting.
"It's a white radish!" Jiang He said loudly.
She looked down at the wide green leaf in the flower pot and gritted her teeth in hatred.
No wonder this guy kept telling her to change to a bigger flower pot. Now that the weather was warm, if she took good care of it, a big radish would grow soon.
