Early in the morning, Xu Qing lay under the quilt and watched Jiang He get dressed.
Before getting up, they curled up under the quilt together. He touched her hair, kissed her, and hugged her. This was the most satisfying time of the day.
After getting dressed and going out to prepare breakfast, Jiang He took his bag and went out. He didn't lock the door and walked back.
"Aren't you going today?"
"Ah? Oh, I almost forgot. "
Xu Qing just remembered that he suggested going to the store yesterday and let Jiang He rest at home.
He couldn't stay in bed anymore. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Xu Qing ate a simple meal and took White Gourd to open the store against the cold wind.
He didn't open the store often, but it wasn't a holiday, so he could do it. Following his memory and his own habits, he put the flowers he collected at night outside. When everything was done and he made a cup of hot tea, there was already a lot of traffic outside. Office workers wore ties and brought steamed buns and soy milk. There were also electric cars that sent their children to school. The delivery boy also started to get busy.
The kindergarten didn't start so early, so the siblings were still happy at home.
Because of this, he offered to open the store himself, so that it would be convenient for Jiang He to cultivate the parent-child relationship. He spent too much time with the two kids … and it was too troublesome.
Holding the tea in his hand, he sat by the window and looked at the street. Xu Qing enjoyed this rare peace. Wisps of hot air came out from the mouth of the cup and then drifted away. He blew on it and took a sip, and his whole body felt warm.
White Gourd lay on his lap and looked out of the window together. The man and the cat seemed to have merged into one at this time, and there was an inexplicable harmony.
Xu Qing lowered his head slightly, touched White Gourd's head, and looked out of the window again.
Would Jiang He also sit like this for a while every day, watching people come and go, and the hustle and bustle of the modern city in the morning?
What would she think?
When the first ray of sunlight shone on Jiang City every day, she would probably have packed everything and sat in front of the window early, waiting to see the sun rise.
In this small corner of the city, there was a world that belonged to him, a place to settle down. He was no longer a traveler like he was a thousand years ago.
After drinking the tea, Xu Qing collected his thoughts. Today's flower branches had been delivered. There wasn't much, and he just needed to replenish the stock. He wasn't as skilled as Jiang He in cutting and packaging, so he could only do it slowly. Fortunately, he wasn't in a hurry.
In the middle, he received two customers and sold a few bouquets of flowers. They were not particularly large orders, but rather scattered. There was only one bouquet that was reserved for more than 100 dollars, and it was taken away by the delivery man.
At around ten o 'clock, Gong Ping, who was wearing a white coat, hopped over. She was about to speak, but when she saw that it was Xu Qing, she swallowed the words she wanted to say.
"What about her?"
"Stay at home and take care of the kids. I'll be in charge today." Xu Qing smiled.
"Sigh …"
"Have a seat. Do you want some tea?"
Seeing her disappointed look, Xu Qing didn't mind. This old woman was a homebody, and she probably only had a few close friends …
The saying 'birds of a feather flock together' was quite reasonable. People who had a wide range of friends and went to several places every day would find it difficult to be friends with Jiang He. They were not the same kind of people at all.
It was possible to know each other online because there were many fake sides. But in reality, it was difficult to be close to people who were not the same kind of people, unless they had been in the same social circle for a long time and knew each other very well, like him and Wang Zijun.
"Why am I sitting when she's not here? Talking to you? " Gong Ping said this, but her butt landed on the chair without hesitation. She pulled up her sleeves and took the paper cup that Xu Qing pushed over and blew on it.
"She'll bring me food in a while … Don't you need to go to work?" Xu Qing couldn't help but ask. This woman seemed to be very free.
"Don't you need to go to work too?"
"What am I doing now?"
"This is called a substitute, thank you." Gong Ping's gaze fell on Xu Qing's neck. She pursed her lips and used her finger to gesture at her neck.
She didn't expect that Jiang He, who looked gentle and gentle, was actually so … wild?
She thought about how Jiang He would look when he squinted his eyes and smiled. Really, you can't judge a book by its cover.
Xu Qing didn't understand. He took out his phone to look at it and found a red mark. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was still sleepy when he washed his face in the morning and didn't notice it at all.
He pulled up his collar and Gong Ping was already looking out the window.
"Scientific research shows that it can form blood clots and it's fatal."
"I know, thank you."
Xu Qing was even more embarrassed. He just thought that she was angry because she was single … Thinking about it this way, he felt much better.
Some people couldn't be dangerous even if they wanted to.
She sat down and continued to tie flowers. At the same time, she took a photo to show Jiang He what she had done.
Jiang He was shocked. "Which woman did you go out with? "
Xu Qing, "??" ""
This woman must have Alzheimer's or had amnesia.
"You guys are going to open a flower shop together?" Gong Ping took a sip of tea and revealed her gossipy nature.
"Why do you ask?" Xu Qing was puzzled. It was just a day's work.
"Didn't the new rules come out recently? Now you're in a tight spot. You're complaining so harshly. Others might be fine, but you should be the focus …"
Gong Ping said matter-of-factly. Combining the recent events and the fact that Xu Qing was here to replace Jiang He, it was natural for her to make such a guess.
"You mean that? It's a little troublesome."
Xu Qing nodded and then shook his head. "I can do other things. The flower shop is her business. I don't hate these flowers and plants … I don't really like them. I'll just help her occasionally."
"Oh."
Gong Ping responded. She watched as Xu Qing clumsily cut the flower branches and cut the thorns. He was not as skilled as she was. She wanted to go over and help. She changed her sitting position on the chair but did not get up. She continued to hold the paper cup and sipped on it.
"I heard from Jiang He that you have a lot of tricks when you're chasing her. Do you have any suggestions for an 18-year-old girl like me?"
"You're 18?" Xu Qing was surprised.
"I almost forgot. The New Year has just passed. I should be 19." Gong Ping looked at the red lanterns outside the shop that had not been removed.
"…"
"That's not important. What suggestions do you have?"
"I don't have any suggestions."
"Anything is fine." Gong Ping waved at White Gourd. White Gourd pretended not to see it. Perhaps he was cold, but he glanced at her and turned his head away.
"In what way?" Xu Qing said. "I suggest you pursue her when you're suitable. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. "
"Then tell me what kind of suitable?"
"There are many suitable ones. Not everyone is destined to be together. It all depends on whether you like her or not."
"Don't hide it. Just give me a suggestion to fool me."
"Well … If you can control your emotions well, you can consider looking for a little fresh meat … Because immature people always need others to take care of their emotions. It's hard for them to control themselves. If you don't find it troublesome, it's good to find someone younger. It can also make you feel younger. You don't have to pretend to be 18.
On the other hand, you can find an uncle. Uncles are more experienced and mature. They are usually good at taking care of others' emotions. So, many young girls have special feelings for uncles because they feel really comfortable when they're together. This doesn't include those greasy ones. "
Gong Ping heard the word 'greasy' and laughed. "What if I don't want to take care of others or be taken care of?"
"That will depend on fate. When will a particularly suitable one appear?" Xu Qing also laughed. "It's quite difficult if you don't have a clear target. It's like a bear trying to break a stick. When you meet one, you'll think that there's a better one. It's easy to miss it. It's best to have a clear target and attack directly."
"You missed it." Gong Ping twirled the paper cup in her hand. She paused and said, "You chased her directly?"
"Of course not. She chased me and cried that she wanted to marry me." Xu Qing shamelessly showed off as if it really happened.
"Bullsh * t." Gong Ping spat.
The two of them did not speak again. There was a guest outside. Xu Qing stood up to greet them. After asking who he was sending, he helped recommend a bouquet.
It was only a little after 11 o 'clock. Jiang He brought the child to deliver food to Xu Qing in advance. At the same time, he chased him home so that he wouldn't embarrass himself.
The mark on her neck was so glaring. How could she be like this … Jiang He hid at home and looked at the mirror for a long time. Fortunately, she didn't.
"It can't be, right?"
"Go back!" Jiang He didn't have any of the elegance from last night. His ears were red as he pushed Xu Qing with force.
The couple could not control either of them in the bedroom, but if they were to go out and be seen, it would be impossible. In this aspect, she was still the old-fashioned old lady from Kaiyuan.
Xu Qing, who had been slacking for a long time, had no choice. He couldn't even take the child out for a walk. If Jiang He found out that not only did he not go back, but he was also running around everywhere, he might have to perform a bare-handed skull-opening performance at night.
Xu Shi 'an was very happy today. He had finally beheaded his enemy and snatched back his excavator as he had wished.
However, after playing for a while, he realized that Xu Jin wasn't watching him play. Instead, she was holding the doll and playing with it. The excavator suddenly didn't feel good anymore.
"I want to play that!" Xu Shi 'an pointed at Xu Jin's doll and said to her.
"Behave yourself!"
Xu Qing didn't know what to say to this brat. Either the two of them weren't willing to play, or the two of them were fighting over it.
This couldn't go on. It would only make the two of them fight fiercely. In the future, they might even become bandits like Jiang He, who would cut from the North City to the South City and then from the South City to the North City without even blinking.
From the moment Jiang He taught them martial arts, Xu Qing felt that something was wrong. Seeing the siblings foolishly fighting over the doll, Xu Qing suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.
"In view of the fact that martial arts can lead to bullying and oppression, we have to set a rule."
During dinner, Xu Qing put on the airs of the head of the family and spoke seriously at the dinner table. Jiang He put down his chopsticks and listened carefully.
"The purpose of martial arts is to strengthen the body. If you want to have a strong body, you must have a corresponding mind. Otherwise, you will be violent and barbaric. You will be like the ancient barbarians … Ah! Hiss … "
Jiang He reached out and twisted Xu Qing under the table. His words were a little incoherent, but this didn't affect anything. He just needed to explain the final conclusion to the siblings and make them abide by it.
Nothing could be accomplished without rules. This was the first time the family had set up rules. They didn't rely on their fists … That would make them seem like barbarians.
"Having a brain means being smart. Only smart people can learn from Mommy. For example, Shi 'an, if you do something stupid like throwing the milk away, you will be beaten up by Big Sister."
"I won't throw it away! I'm not stupid! "Xu Shi 'an retorted.
"It's just that if you are a picky eater, Mommy will teach Shi 'an but not you. Then you won't be able to bully Shi' an and steal his toy."
Xu Jin's eyes turned when he heard this. He picked up a big piece of celery with his chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
Compared to not eating vegetables, bullying Shi 'an was a little more fun.
"For example, if Shi 'an bullies other children for no reason, then you will be beaten up by Xiao Jin."
"… Why is she the one beating me up?" Xu Shi 'an was not convinced.
"Because Xiao Jin is smarter than you. Look, she already knows what to do," Xu Qing said very seriously.
"…"
"Intelligence is always stronger than strength. Look at Mommy. She's so smart, but isn't she still obediently my wife? Do you understand? "
Xu Jin and Xu Shi 'an nodded, but they still felt that something was not quite right.
Jiang He glanced at him. He was the head of the family after all, so he should let him be a little more awe-inspiring.
"Will Shi 'an keep getting beaten up like this?" Jiang He asked worriedly when they were cleaning the dishes in the kitchen after dinner.
"You also think that your son isn't smart?" Xu Qing was surprised.
"What do you mean by 'also'!" Jiang He was angry for a moment. Then, his voice became softer. "If Shi 'an finds out, he will be sad."
"No, he likes to use crooked ideas and is smart. Xiao Jin has to keep an eye on him."
The child was still young, but there were already some signs of his character. Perhaps it was because boys were naturally mischievous. Although the little rascal was quite smart, he was not as sensible as Xu Jin.
"The smart one has to keep an eye on the unsmart one and make the unsmart one smart. For example, when the time comes, if Shi 'an doesn't pay attention in class and plays truant like other people, Xiao Jin will teach him a lesson."
"Why do I feel that you are slacking off?" Jiang He was puzzled.
"How can that be? This is called … this is called … a smart solution. After all, the two of them are getting older, and we can't always watch over them. When they go to school, the only ones who can stay together from a young age are the two of them." Xu Qing's words were reasonable, which made Jiang He feel that it was quite reasonable. "When the time comes, let the one who is smarter and more sensible be more powerful. Anyway, the two of them have always been playing around, and they can also use the imperial sword to show off. It's much more useful than snitching. If we interfere too much, he will rebel … It's also less troublesome.
If we train Xiao Jin well, Shi 'an won't be much worse off. She'll take care of her own brother, hehe. "
"She really wants to slack off!"
"It's not slacking off, it's called science … An illiterate old lady like you won't understand."
The two of them whispered in the kitchen. Xu Qing watched as Jiang He tidied up the cupboards. He stood on his tiptoes, revealing his curves. He couldn't help but feel his hands and feet.
"Don't move, what time is it now …"
"I'm not doing anything …"
"I'm Ultraman Leo!"
A loud shout startled Xu Qing. Xu Qing Shi 'an ran in with his hands on his head. Jiang He quickly reached out and slapped away Xu Qing's hands.
This bastard Ultraman …
Xu Qing carried Shi 'an out. When he came back in, Jiang He had already tidied up the cupboards. He gave him a sideways glance and walked out of the kitchen.
"Come out, I noticed that your hands have been a little itchy lately." Jiang He strolled to the balcony and waved at him.
"No, no."
"It's just right for digestion."
"Digestion, you can go for a walk."
"It's cold outside."
"…"
Xu Qing digested his food, then caught Ultraman Leo who was running wildly in the house … The chain of suppression was produced.
Jiang He was fierce towards Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was fierce towards Shi 'an.
Shi 'an was fierce towards White Gourd.
White Gourd: I must kill that little bastard!
