"Haozi got promoted, and he is going to celebrate with his girlfriend."
"Ok."
"You bought me this wine. Let's try it."
"Not bad."
"Really? Hahaha, come and have another sip. "
Qin Maocai was very pleased with himself. He picked up the drumstick and ate it cleanly. With a flick of his hand, he threw the bones into the basin on the balcony. Xiong Ba poked its head out and crunched the bones in two bites.
Xu Wenbin looked at his old friend's happy face and drank two more glasses. He picked up a chicken wing with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The chicken was bought from the market, and Qin Maocai stewed it himself. It was soft and tender, and he could swallow it easily.
"When I arranged a blind date for him, he insisted on finding one himself. I told him that it would take a long time for him to find one by himself … Look, he really found one."
"Where is she from?"
"From a small town. She collects money at the convenience store. Haozi was stabbed that time. She went to the store many times when he was hospitalized, and then they got together."
"Not bad." Xu Wenbin nodded.
Cashier … was not bad. Jiang He still sat in front of the computer playing games every day.
"What's so good about a cashier … But it depends on the person. It doesn't matter what she does."
"That's right."
Xu Wenbin smiled. He could only comfort himself this way.
Qin Maocai was in high spirits. He used to dislike Qin Hao, but this year, everything was going well for him. This was his luck.
Little Qingzi and Haozi … were lucky.
He tore a piece of chicken and took a sip of wine. Qin Maocai asked, "What about Little Qingzi and Little Haozi?"
"They got their marriage certificate. I don't know when the wedding will be held. They will discuss it among themselves."
"It's okay. They have been dating for several years. They don't need … What?" Qin Maocai was speechless.
"They got their marriage certificate."
"… Well, that's fast."
Qin Maocai swallowed the chicken in his mouth, tilted his head and thought for a moment. "I think we should hurry up with Little Mouse and the others."
"Why are you competing with them?" Xu Wenbin laughed and scolded, "Just mind your own business. People have their own ideas when to get married.
He's a civil servant, so he has to be careful when he gets married. I remember that we have to check his file or something. "
"Did I?"
"I heard about it."
"There is such a thing?"
"I heard about it!"
The two of them picked up their glasses and gulped it down. Xu Wenbin pushed up his glasses and looked at the white hair on Qin Maocai's temples with mixed feelings.
When this guy got married, he even helped him choose a bicycle. That year, Qin Maocai was in his twenties, high-spirited and stylish. He attracted the attention of many young girls when he stood there.
In the blink of an eye, they had become two old men.
…
"Why did they turn into butterflies? They can't even live past winter. If it was us, we would turn into tortoises and live for another thousand years."
"You do it yourself, don't bring me along."
Xu Qing was not interested in turning into a tortoise, but he seemed to have heard that in the Tang Dynasty, tortoise was not a curse, but a form of worship. Many people had the word "tortoise" in their names, such as Li Guinian, Wang Gui, Lu Gui Meng, etc …
According to the New Book of Tang, Wu Zetian stipulated that all officials of the fifth rank and above had to wear a small tortoise-shaped pouch called "Tortoise Pouch". The pouch was decorated with gold, silver, and copper.
Xu Qing was pondering over when exactly did tortoise turn into a curse. Jiang He hugged his pillow as he looked at Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. He was pained by this pair of lovers who had chosen to become butterflies. Why did they have to take things too hard and choose to become butterflies?
They could live for a long time even if they were two dogs … Of course, it would be better if they could turn into humans.
After watching the drama, Jiang He was still feeling sorry for the butterflies. She looked up at the ceiling in a daze for a while, then pulled her legs out of Xu Qing's arms and went back to her computer. She opened a document and wrote her thoughts after watching the drama. She mainly complained about putting a bowl of water, not being able to tell that she was a man, and turning into butterflies.
Unknowingly, Jiang He had read all the popular and almost common sense stories such as Journey to the West, Water Margin, Sui and Tang Dynasties and Liang Shanbo. It was just that her highlights often opened Xu Qing's eyes.
For example, when watching Journey to the West, she always looked forward to Tripitaka being eaten by monsters and Monkey Sun flying to the West alone to obtain Buddhist scriptures …
"This is for you."
Xu Qing took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang He.
"What is it?"
"A ring."
"How much did you pay for it?"
"Don't be so vulgar … Don't touch it." When Xu Qing saw her reaching out, she quickly closed the box. "There's a process for this. It has to have a sense of ceremony."
"…"
"Will you marry me?"
"You talk too much nonsense!"
Jiang He snatched Xu Qing's ring. It was golden and shiny. She held it between her fingers and looked at it carefully. Then, she pinched it with her hand and it was bent.
"It's gold?"
"Although it's gold, it's still new. It's our engagement ring. Don't take it so lightly …" Xu Qing's chest tightened. Fortunately, Jiang He didn't take it and bite it.
"This is good, this is good."
Jiang He was satisfied. She pinched the ring and put it on her finger. Gold was much more valuable than that diamond ring.
"I just proposed, and you said yes."
Xu Qing watched her put the ring on and didn't hesitate anymore. Anyway …
Even if he bought a big diamond ring and knelt down, Jiang He would not really beat him up like she had threatened. However, she would definitely feel heartache. After spending so much money on a stone, she might even think about him for a few years.
What she wanted was gold, gold, and gold. Other than gold, everything else was rubbish.
Jiang He looked at him as if he was an idiot. They had already gotten their marriage certificate, and now he was proposing.
Modern people really didn't have good brains.
"This is a ritual … forget it."
Xu Qing gave up explaining to her. There was something wrong with the brains of ancient people, and they couldn't be treated with common sense.
"I'm not lying to you. You asked for it. Don't say that you don't even have a diamond ring when you get married in the future."
"How did you know?!" Jiang He was shocked.
"Know what?" Xu Qing was confused.
"Nothing …"
Jiang He rolled her eyes, touched the gold ring on her finger, shook her head, and didn't talk to him.
The wedding was being prepared in an orderly manner. Diamonds were forever, but it was not as long as Jiang He became a tortoise. When they got married, Xu Qing planned to be Chinese. There was no ring exchange set. Jiang He, the little old lady, didn't like that either. There wasn't a gold bracelet that could make her happy.
She felt that something was wrong …
But when she thought of Jiang He's naive look, everything made sense.
The heroine just wanted a home. There was no need for a wedding.
Of course, it had to be done.
July got the house, and Xu Qing's renovation plan was done. He showed it to Jiang He and started to implement it.
The house was in the West District. It was a brand-new unit. The elevator went straight up to the 12th floor. There were two bedrooms, one living room, and a study room. There was a guest and dining room. In Xu Qing's vision, there would be a fixed table here, and there would be a kettle and teacups. They could use the table as a dining table when eating.
There would also be a big sofa in the middle of the living room. There would be two computers by the window of the balcony … At first, he felt that it was not cool to have two computers. But after thinking about it carefully, the two of them couldn't live without the computer. It was a necessity, and they couldn't just put one in the bedroom.
Xu Qing brought Jiang He to talk in the rough house. Jiang He couldn't form a picture in his mind, so he could only look at it after the renovation was done.
"You'll definitely like it!"
Xu Qing was full of confidence.
"I'll like it even if you put a bed here." Jiang He pointed to the living room.
Xu Qing was still wondering if she was hinting at something, but Jiang He had already gone to the balcony. He looked around and took a deep breath.
This was their home in the future.
It was much better than where they were living now.
"This is our home?"
"Yes, we chose it together. In the future, put a weapon rack over there, and this will be your training ground. "
"I think it's better to have more flowers."
Jiang He found that he didn't like to play with knives and swords anymore.
"Both," Xu Qing said with a smile.
In July, the sun was scorching the earth. On the roof of this building, the two of them wiped the sweat off their heads and looked at each other and smiled.
"Did you think that today would come for you when you treated coke as poison?"
"Did you think about it when I pointed a sword at you?" Jiang He asked.
In the early autumn of that year, she pointed a sword at this guy. How could she think of looking at a new house with him?
"I really did think about it."
"…"
"The only fly in the ointment is that it's cold in winter and hot in summer."
"It's okay. There's air conditioning and fans." Jiang He said, "I'm not afraid of the heat."
"Do you want to exercise?"
"Here?"
"Go to the house?" Xu Qing suggested.
"Come here." Jiang He bit his lip and said.
"I'll come … Ah!"
On this spacious balcony, Jiang He did what Xu Qing wanted. He exercised and taught Xu Qing a lesson.
However, it was not the same as what Xu Qing had in mind.
…
Sitting in a taxi home, Xu Qing rubbed his arm and complained about Jiang He. He thought too highly of his current martial arts.
"You can only improve quickly by learning from each other," Jiang He said seriously.
"You're just using the excuse of learning from each other to fight!" Xu Qing continued to complain. Jiang He had learned bad things from him.
"Young man, stop nagging. I've seen someone who didn't wear a hat and made his girlfriend want to teach him a lesson." The driver chuckled.
"That's so pitiful." Jiang He felt sympathetic.
"…"
Xu Qing pondered for a while. "The one you're talking about should be me."
“？？”
The driver took a look at the rearview mirror. "I was wondering why you looked so familiar."
"…"
"…"
"Jiang City is so small. Haha, haha." The driver laughed dryly and fell silent.
Young people really knew how to play.
Back home, looking at the familiar layout of the room, Jiang He couldn't bear to leave this place. She had been living here for a long time, this was like a home.
She would play games in front of the computer while Xu Qing would sit on the sofa and watch dramas on his laptop. Or he would move the chair in the middle of the living room to practice boxing. Or he would sit beside her and touch her legs …
"When will the renovations be completed?"
"About three or four months. After the renovations, there'll be another three months of ventilation. It'll be good if we can move in at the end of the year."
"Oh … that's good. We can still stay here this year."
"Are you in a hurry?"
"No."
Jiang He took a look at him. If they waited until after the wedding to have sex … they would have to wait until next year. Xu Qing would be so pitiful.
Gong Ping came over in the afternoon to learn how to make meatballs. The two houses were very close. After getting familiar with Xu Qing, Gong Ping often came over to visit.
The two women were making meatballs in the kitchen. Gong Ping would bring them home to cook when she finished. Jiang He rolled up his sleeves. His hands were so dexterous that Gong Ping envied him.
The phone was placed at the side. It was playing a young Zhang Sanfeng. Gong Ping didn't like this kind of drama. After watching it for a while, she found it enjoyable.
"Is this guy a good guy or a bad guy?"
"I don't know."
"I feel like he's going to die."
"The people in this will probably die." Jiang He was familiar with this kind of drama.
"The main character won't die."
"Apart from the main character, those people will die to save the main character. And this woman. After she dies, Zhang Sanfeng can suddenly become a peerless master."
"… That seems to make sense." Gong Ping couldn't refute. She could say that this drama was okay. She felt that what was being filmed was wrong. She could say that it was not good. They could make several dramas with this.
Gong Ping was wearing a mesh half-skirt with a light-colored short-sleeved shirt. She had the temperament of an internet celebrity. If she sat in front of the guzheng and filmed a short video, it would definitely be shared by some LSP in various groups.
Xu Qing went to the door to take a look. The two women were making meatballs while complaining about the costumes in the drama.
"You're just waiting to eat?" Gong Ping shouted.
"What else?" Xu Qing said matter-of-factly.
"Help."
"You married her just to cook for me? Help? What a joke. "
Xu Qing left in disdain.
"…"
What the hell. How daring.
Gong Ping was stunned. She looked at Jiang He. Jiang He actually agreed.
"His arm is not feeling well. It's not convenient for him to do anything." Jiang He felt that she had to find a reason to explain. Otherwise, Xu Qing would be like a lazy glutton.
"Only you can come up with such an excuse."
"No, it's true."
Jiang He shook her head. She thought that Xu Qing would be able to block a few of her moves after practicing his hand boxing for so long. She didn't expect that he would be taken down with just one move.
She had to give him a good massage tonight … Huh?
Jiang He's expression changed. Only then did she remember. According to Xu Qing's character, would he deliberately pretend to be twisted by her to avoid doing the dishes and then let her give him a comfortable massage?
"Only you would believe that a martial arts practitioner can twist his arm." Gong Ping said in a low voice. In her eyes, Xu Qing was a fanatic martial arts enthusiast who practiced his stance every day. Jiang He was still a weak girl next door who kept eating sweet potatoes as a snack.
Such a waste. Such a good Jiang He was ruined by Xu Qing.
"I also think that he shouldn't twist his arm so easily." Jiang He had some doubts. Xu Qing was holding a notebook and sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. How could it be so serious?
Sensing Jiang He's gaze, Xu Qing's expression changed in a second. He rubbed his arm and leaned against the sofa to avoid the gaze from the kitchen.
"He really didn't twist his arm." Jiang He said with certainty.
This guy was so bad. He must be pretending.
She secretly felt guilty for a long time and prepared to give him a massage at night.
At night.
The meatballs were fragrant. Xu Qing ate until his mouth was full of oil. He put down the bowl and began to rub his arm.
Jiang He put the bowl in the kitchen and went out for a walk. When Xu Qing was watching TV, he secretly poked him with his finger.
Xu Qing turned around and was stunned. Then he said, "Oh!"
"Xu Qing!"
"I'm seriously injured … Stop it. I'm going to wash the dishes now!"
Xu Qing stood up and ran into the kitchen. Jiang He had never seen someone recover so quickly from an injury.
She turned on the live broadcast room. She was still angry. She waited for Xu Qing to come out and glared at him.
"Look, you're the first on the list. A rich guy!" Xu Qing changed the topic.
The first on the list was finally not Wang Zijun, that rich guy. That guy became a lot more honest after he got married.
