The old couple chatted with each other. They found it interesting to talk about things that happened more than 20 years ago.
At that time, pushing a brand-new bicycle was enough to show off. Xu Wenbin had a big red flower pinned on his chest, covering his entire chest. He had to put on his pants pockets to show off when taking photos.
Now that they were getting married, there was a wedding procession, and all of them were in cars.
Even further back, when Jiang He got married, he had to carry a sedan chair.
Four people, three different eras, gathered at the same table. Xu Qing and Jiang He looked at each other and saw gentleness in each other's eyes.
At that time, everything was old when they got married, except for the bride.
Now that they got married … Sigh, it was unsealed in advance.
It was a sin, a sin.
"When are you going to get married? At the end of the year? "Zhou Suzhi also brought up this matter.
"More or less."
Xu Qing gave an ambiguous answer. He still wanted to discuss it with the two of them. He didn't want to treat it like a task.
Zhou Suzhi nodded and looked at Jiang He. She felt that her daughter was getting more and more beautiful.
In the past, she was a little dull, with calluses all over her hands, and her hair wasn't as black and shiny as it was now. Now that she looked at her carefully, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Her eyes were black and bright, full of spirit.
If she was a silly little girl when she first saw her, now she was half a lady from a respectable family. She had grown up.
She let Xu Qing take good care of her.
She naturally attributed the change to Xu Qing. The two of them ate well and slept well, so of course they were in good spirits.
Xu Qing himself couldn't feel it. They spent every day together, and only occasionally flipped through the photo album did he feel a little change. Violent and savage was still violent and savage, that hadn't changed.
In the blink of an eye, more than three years had passed.
When time was paying attention to it, it would be slow. Occasionally, when she inadvertently looked back, she would realize that it had quietly slipped away for so long.
Three years … According to Xu Qing's original plan, he should have just settled the identity issue, which was completed a year in advance.
Furthermore, the two of them were already talking about marriage … Back then, half a year was more or less enough for them to see eye to eye with each other. Their relationship developed very quickly. Perhaps it was because Jiang He was alone and helpless in the modern world. In short, from this point of view, his thinking back then was too conservative.
In the eyes of Zhou Suzhi and Xu Wenbin, other than the fact that Xu Qing suddenly brought a girl home at the beginning, everything else was normal. It was also the age to talk about marriage.
"Little Haozi seems to be getting engaged. Your engagement …" Zhou Suzhi's gaze fell on the ring on Jiang He's finger.
"Yes." Jiang He noticed her gaze and lowered his head shyly.
"Uh …"
Zhou Suzhi wanted to say that it wasn't what he meant, that it was an engagement party … but she understood after seeing how Xu Qing and the others were behaving. The two of them were just waiting to get married. There was no process of betrothal gifts or dowry.
The betrothal gifts were exchanged for a house for them. They could move in two months.
After the meal, Xu Qing took care of putting away the bowls and chopsticks and moving them into the kitchen. The four of them had the feeling of a banquet. Jiang He had bought a lot of food and had been busy for half the afternoon. Now that the meal was over, it was his turn to be tired.
Xu Wenbin took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He thought there would be a lot of food left on the table. Xu Qing ate as much as a pig. He brought his wife with him as if they had been starving at home for two days and then came here to freeload.
How could he eat so much?
How could he eat so much?
The old man was puzzled and felt more and more confused.
"Haozi is getting engaged? That's fast. "
After washing the dishes, Xu Qing didn't hurry to pull Jiang He back. He wandered to the balcony and looked across, a little surprised at Qin Hao's speed.
"I heard from Old Qin that they are already discussing betrothal gifts. It will be too late if they don't get married soon. At this age, there were children as old as you in the past. "
"What do you mean by 'at this age'?" Xu Qing felt that Xu Wenbin's words were inappropriate. He turned his head and met Jiang He's eyes. He was stunned and hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry. Don't listen to my father's nonsense. He is only 25 or 26 years old …"
Xu Qing paused halfway.
How come I am 26 years old?
Xu Qing was shocked.
It seemed that he would be in his thirties in two years … He suddenly felt that several years of his life had been stolen.
Twenty-six years old was not considered old, but when he thought about the mentality of people who were 26 or 27 years old, he felt that they were old and he was still young.
Now that he was at this age, he still felt young, but he had become the old and young man in his eyes a few years ago.
It was too late to have a child at 30 years old. Now … he didn't want to have a child now. Xu Qing suddenly felt depressed.
Thinking about having a child, he really felt that time waited for no man. It was almost the end of the year. If he wasted another two years, he would enter the threshold of 30 years old when the child was born.
No wonder Qin Hao was anxious … If he delayed it for another year, he would get engaged next year, get married the year after that, and have a child the year after that. That little policeman would also be a 30-year-old uncle.
Things should not be like this …
Until he returned to his place with Jiang He, Xu Qing was still in a trance. He felt that he had not played enough, but time was running out.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Who am I, where do I come from, where am I going, and what am I doing." Xu Qing lay on the sofa and looked at the lights on the roof with his arms as a pillow.
Jiang He stood behind him and leaned against the back of the sofa, looking down at him. He looked like a tortoise looking out, but he did not dare to say it.
"Thinking about having a child?"
"Do you want to have a child?" Xu Qing asked.
"If it's time to have a child, then have one. I can't not have one, right? Your father will beat you to death, and we will also be laughed at by others. They will say that I am a chicken that cannot lay eggs."
“??”
Xu Qing did not expect Jiang He's thoughts to be so simple.
"Having a child is not just about giving birth. With the shackles of a family and children, there will be a lot of things to consider in the future. I may not have the energy to try new things like I am now …"
"Are you anxious?" Jiang He seemed to have discovered something new.
"Anxiety is a common disease of modern people."
"Then you don't want to have a child?"
"If I don't want to have a child, I won't be anxious." Xu Qing let out a long breath. In the past, he always felt that this matter was still far away, but when it came to the point, he realized that he would also panic.
"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you." Jiang He reached down with his claws and held his head.
"… This is really exciting."
Xu Qing said perfunctorily. Cooperate or not, didn't you enjoy it too?
You even opened up the conception and governor vessels.
"Why don't you go up?" he asked.
"In your dreams!"
Jiang He turned around and left, ignoring him.
White Gourd jumped over from the table and landed on Xu Qing like a cannonball, causing him to cry out in pain. This fat otaku had always been jumping around without knowing his own weight.
"We still have a lot of things that we want to do but haven't done yet. Life is short, and I suddenly realized that this age is too …" Xu Qing said while holding White Gourd.
"You are afraid of having a child. I am the one giving birth, not you."
Jiang He took a book from the bookshelf and placed it on his knees. He raised his hand and flipped it open.
Xu Qing did not say anything. She was also happy to read quietly. Anyway, when it was time to give birth, she would give birth. Just one, not more.
If he dared to ask her to give birth to five like a lecher, she would report him to the relevant departments. This guy wanted to reincarnate …
It seemed like he had also reported her?
Jiang He thought about how to reasonably refuse to give birth to five children. The law did not seem to allow that many children. Although he did not know why the law still restricted people from giving birth, five children was indeed a little too much.
"Can you understand it?"
Xu Qing climbed up and looked at her. Now, Jiang He was closer to the path of a literary girl. Her hair fell down, and she looked down at the book on her knees. Her index finger gently rubbed the corner of the page, and her whole person exuded a quiet temperament.
She was no longer like the monkey who could not sit still when reading a book, and there were nails growing on the stool.
"I can understand it. It's just that you have become a ghost." Jiang He was holding "Ball Lightning" in his hands. He did not understand half of it, and he did not understand the technical terms, but he still understood the state described.
He could feel the person beside him with his eyes closed, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he disappeared. Wasn't that a ghost?
Therefore, this book was about researching weapons that could turn people into ghosts. It was really a good science fiction story.
"… That's right."
Xu Qing found that he could not refute.
[Ding Yi shook his head: The quantum state only appears when there is no observer. Once the observer appears, it collapses into our empirical reality, and we will never see the probability cloud …]
Jiang He pressed his finger on the words, and he kept feeling that this statement was strangely familiar. He thought about it and then remembered. "That quantum superposition and collapse that you dragged out the manuscript is this."
"Ah." Xu Qing uttered a single sound.
How could she understand it? How could that be?
An ancient person reading a science fiction book with relish. Xu Qing scratched his head and looked at Jiang He.
"You can understand quantum and those things?"
"I don't understand."
"…"
"But I know what the story is about. Using a method that I don't know, it creates a gun, and this gun can beat people into the same state as ghosts." Jiang He raised his index finger and thumb, making a gun gesture, and aimed at Xu Qing.
biu!
"Ah, I got shot." Xu Qing held his chest and lay down.
"Childish."
Jiang He snorted and continued to read the novel.
Of course, a pure ancient person would not understand, but she was a heroine who had been bombarded by modern information for three years.
Not only the fragmented information was an eye-opener. Combining the things that she could understand to understand the things that she did not understand, she had already practiced this kind of thing countless times on the Internet.
The computer was really a good thing.
It could be angered by people thousands of miles away, and it could also sit at home and watch teachers from famous schools talk about some easy-to-understand things.
After finishing reading, Jiang He closed the book and was immersed in the ending of the blue rose in the quantum state.
It was very romantic.
She knew it was there, but she could not see it or touch it. It would only appear when she closed her eyes, with a faint fragrance.
"I want to plant a blue rose!"
Jiang He announced and took out his phone to place the order. Xu Qing looked at the large and small flower pots on the balcony, and then lay on the sofa and closed her eyes.
When it was time to move, she would be busy.
…
Jiang City welcomed the first snow of the year, in the middle of December.
Qin Hao was wrapped in a hat, including his ears, and there was a knitted scarf around his neck.
There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and he left a trail of footprints as he walked. The snowflakes swirled past him. He wrapped his coat and came to the place where they had agreed to meet. It was a hot pot restaurant. He pushed the door open and saw Wang Zijun playing games with his feet crossed.
Wang Zijun, who was already a father, had changed a lot of his bad habits, but he still loved to play. When he was not at home and with his children, he would play a game, get together with friends, and drink a few glasses of wine. It was the greatest joy.
"Oh, it's so cold today."
Qin Hao took off the scarf and muttered, while carefully putting it away. This was knitted by his girlfriend, and it was a treasure.
"It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when it melts. It's not really cold yet."
"Have you ordered?"
"I'm waiting for you."
"No, it's just me." Qin Hao took the menu and took a pen to tick.
"Where's Qing Zi?"
Wang Zijun narrowed his eyes. Then, he leaned back and took his feet off the other chair. He sat up straight and exited the game on his phone to call Xu Qing. As he spoke, he muttered, "This kid isn't coming out? The few of us aren't even coming to eat together, right? F * ck, I'll go to his house and drag him out of his bed. "
"The number you have dialed is temporarily not in the service area. Sorry …"
"It's not that he's not coming out, it's just that he's too far away. Let's rest." Qin Hao tsked and pushed the menu over for him to order.
"Where did he go?" Wang Zijun was surprised.
"I don't know. I heard from his father that he seems to have gone to Tibet. Anyway, he's running everywhere."
"He can really run."
Wang Zijun hung up the phone. He was not even in the service area … It was quite new.
Now there was such a thing as not being in the service area. It had not been seen for many years. It seemed that he had gone quite far.
"He brought his wife with him. The two of them are very energetic. The last time they went to Suzhou, it felt that it was far enough. This time, they went straight to Tibet." Qin Hao exclaimed. These two people were amazing.
According to his thoughts, if they were to go out to play, it would be very good to go to Luoyang City. Or they could go further to Qinling Mountains or Zhongnan. These were all good places for tourism. It was not like Xu Qing and his wife, who just carried a bag and left as they pleased.
They felt that it was not right to have one less person at the party. The two of them stared at each other and suddenly sighed. It was really not like when they were young, when they were all married and ready to start a family.
"The days are beautiful … I brought my wife out to play. She doesn't like to run around. She likes to go to the nearby wilderness or climb mountains. Did they run out to make a child? "
"Who knows? Isn't it better to make a child at home?" Qin Hao laughed.
Wang Zijun took his phone and flipped through Xu Qing's Qzone. There was nothing. He then flipped through his UP account and found some clues. The two of them had indeed gone to a place so far away.
Snowflakes were falling outside. Jiangcheng's climate was very distinct. The two of them shrunk their bodies. Even though there was one person missing, they still ate. They casually wrote down the menu and handed it to the waiter to wait for the dishes to be served.
"Hey, let's not talk about them. What about you? It's almost the New Year again. Where's your wife? "
"She's preparing. We just got engaged a few days ago. We discussed the date and are sending you the invitation now." Qin Hao smiled like a black dog-tail flower. He fumbled in his pocket and took out a big red invitation.
Originally, he did not think that he would use this thing. He just needed to notify his wife when he got married. However, when he received Wang Zijun's invitation two years ago, he felt that it was quite good. He took it seriously and kept it at home as a souvenir or something.
"You want to surpass that kid?"
Wang Zijun took the invitation and looked at it carefully. Qin Hao and Yu Li. This kid was really fast.
Strictly speaking, he was faster than any of them.
Xu Qing had been in a relationship for more than three years. They had already gotten their marriage certificate, but they weren't ready to get married yet. Wang Zijun had been in a relationship once, but they broke up. After a long time, they started dating again. Then, she got pregnant and got married. Although their child was already crawling around, they weren't as fast as Qin Hao.
At most, they had been in a relationship for only a year and they were already engaged.
"I've surpassed him." Qin Hao smiled proudly.
"How did the two of you settle your quarrel? I heard that they had already gotten into a room in the middle of the night. You ran away and went to see an old Chinese doctor to treat you. Did you recover? "
"…"
Qin Hao's smile froze.
How could you accuse him?
