The white Audi drove in from the gate of the neighborhood and slowly disappeared into the garage downstairs.
Not long after, Jiang He came out of the garage, followed by the bouncing siblings.
Xu Qing leaned on the edge of the balcony and looked down at the figures of one adult and two children.
"Dad, you're here too."
Jiang He entered the door and met Xu Wenbin, who was about to leave, and greeted him naturally.
Xu Wenbin's lips moved, and he nodded. "I came to talk to him about something, and I'll be going back now."
He turned around and glanced at Xu Qing. His gaze swept over the straw sandals on the cabinet, and then turned to Jiang He's clean face.
An ancient person came to be Xu Qing's wife and gave birth to a child, disguised as a modern person, and raised flowers and fed cats every day?
Xu Wenbin was in a trance for a moment. He touched the head of Xu Shi 'an, who came over to call him grandpa, and then looked at Jiang He, who was helping Xu Jin take off her bag. He did not stay for long.
Xu Qing carried his daughter over and pinched her cheeks. As the siblings grew up, their appearances gradually changed. Xu Jin looked more like his mother, and there was a shadow of Jiang He in his eyes. When he was angry with his hands on his waist, he looked even more like Jiang He. It was as if he was raising a young version of Jiang He. It was so fun.
"Why did our dad come over?"
Jiang He took an apple from the table and took a bite. He moved to Xu Qing's side and passed it to Xu Qing. It was crispy and sweet, and he did not like it.
"He expressed doubts and doubts about the fact that I kept your straw sandals for more than ten years, as well as your martial arts skills, and the fact that I taught you Chinese and mathematics …"
"Hmm …" Jiang He was shocked. He quickly swallowed the apple in his mouth and asked, "He suspected my identity?"
"He should have suspected it a long time ago."
"How is that possible … He probably wouldn't believe me even if I told him. Sometimes I wonder if I have that paranoia, and I have to beat you up."
"…"
The case was solved. It was not because his hands were itchy.
"I told him. It's up to him whether he believes me or not. Anyway, he won't guess anything else," Xu Qing said.
Jiang He was stunned. "You told him?"
"Yes, it's been ten years." Xu Qing stroked Jiang He's hair and said with a smile, "You're just a florist. Everything else is a joke."
"What if our dad believes it and asks me about the Tang Dynasty again? I can't even remember clearly … "
Jiang He turned sideways on the sofa. He was worried about this problem. The old man was an archaeologist, and now it was his daughter-in-law's turn …
"I've made it clear to him. I won't ask." Seeing Jiang He's worried look, Xu Qing changed the topic and said, "So what if you remember it clearly? You're just a country bumpkin. Other than those patched up rags and open-toed shoes, you've never touched any good clothes. What do you know?"
"…"
"What did the rich people of the Tang Dynasty eat? What should I wear? Drink what? What did the emperor look like? Digging the ground with a golden hoe every day? "
"…"
"He knows more about the Tang Dynasty than you do. Economy, culture, policies, rise and fall. Do you know how good those officials and nobles were? He can't even think of digging up graves and digging up toys on the bed … Ah! "
"Hmph!"
Jiang He pinched him fiercely and went to cook with an apple in his mouth. How dare he call her a country bumpkin.
Although she had never been to Chang 'an, and had never touched any good clothes, but … she had been to Gusu, and she knew how to make shepherd's purse pancakes.
Who would know the original taste of the Tang Dynasty pancakes? No one. Only she could make it.
"Dad, what toy?" Xu Shi 'an asked while biting his finger.
"Car toy, beep beep beep …"
The phone on the table lit up and then vibrated. Xu Qing took it to have a look. It was a kindergarten teacher.
He asked the siblings to go to the side to play and picked up the phone to ask, "Teacher, what's the matter?"
Jiang He poked her head out of the kitchen and watched as Xu Qing made the call. She watched as he communicated with the person on the other end of the line with a puzzled and bewildered expression. After hanging up the phone, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"They said that it's not good for the child to value the daughter over the son. It's easy for the child to have psychological problems." Xu Qing scratched his head. "The flowers the daughter brought are beautiful, but the son just randomly picked a morning glory by the roadside and let him take it. That's not right."
That shouldn't be the case. He even suspected that the teacher had called the wrong number. Jiang He had prepared two beautiful flowers. Xu Jin had brought a gorgeous red rose, and Shi 'an had brought a bunch of birds of paradise.
Their puzzled gaze fell on Shi 'an, who was fighting with Xu Jin for the remote control. His skin tightened, and he looked at the couple innocently with his big eyes.
"Shi 'an, where's your flower?"
"I put it in a bottle at school." Xu Shi 'an scratched his butt. This kid liked to do this every time he felt guilty.
"He swapped with Xiaoxiao!" Xu Jin took control of the remote control and wanted to report him.
"…"
"…"
…
After Xu Wenbin returned, Zhou Suzhi was cooking and was about to call him to come back when she saw him enter the study.
"It's time for dinner!"
"Mm."
There was no more movement after that.
Xu Wenbin only came out again when it was time for dinner.
"Where did you go?" Zhou Suzhi glanced at him. This old man was holding a bowl and thinking about something.
"I went to Qing Zi's place."
"What? What's wrong with him? "
"He's fine, but I'm about to have a problem." Xu Wenbin picked up some food and put it into his bowl. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was unreal.
"Qing Zi's wife, Jiang He, is not an ordinary person."
"Of course she's not an ordinary person. Can ordinary people have twins? How small is the probability? "Zhou Suzhi looked at him as if he was talking nonsense.
"No, her identity is not ordinary." Xu Wenbin shook his head.
"How is she not ordinary?" Zhou Suzhi asked. She then frowned. "Could she be some rich missy? Powerful and influential? Eloping with Xu Qing? "
She had already imagined that Jiang He had been forcefully separated by his family, and the couple had eloped. Now, his family had come to take Shi 'an back to inherit the family business, leaving only Xu Qing with Xu Jin, or perhaps nothing at all.
Or maybe Jiang He was the illegitimate daughter of some big family, so she did not have an in-law when she got married, and now she was recognized …
That was how it was played on TV. Otherwise, how could it be unusual? Zhou Suzhi looked at Xu Wenbin, waiting for him to give an explanation.
"If I say she's … from the Tang Dynasty, would you believe it?"
“？？”
Zhou Suzhi's eyes moved. She pursed her lips and lowered her head to eat. When she looked up again, Xu Wenbin was still struggling.
She wanted to say something but stopped.
"Old Xu … let's … not dig the ruins anymore. Why don't you apply for a change of position?"
"I'm fine." Xu Wenbin shook his head.
"I'm serious."
"There's no need to change. I'll retire in a few years."
"No, hurry up and change. I think you're really crazy. That's why you think that Jiang He is from the Tang Dynasty … What did Qing Zi say to you? This won't do. I have to ask him! "
Zhou Suzhi was furious. She wanted to call Xu Qing and scold him. This kid had tricked her father into becoming a cripple.
She had already said that she should not talk to that guy too much. He was too cunning. He often talked and led people astray. Now, even her father was not let off.
"Forget it. I was just joking."
Xu Wenbin waved his hand. "I'll just let you know."
He sighed. No one would believe such a thing.
"Don't listen to that kid's nonsense in the future. It's not like you don't know that he's been cunning since he was young …" Zhou Suzhi was still mumbling.
Xu Wenbin shook his head. It was because he knew Xu Qing well that he concluded that there was something wrong with that kid and ran over to ask him.
"A person from the Tang Dynasty … Climbed out of his coffin? Let him give me evidence. I'll believe him. "Zhou Suzhi snorted. At the same time, she felt that Xu Wenbin should really retire.
Damn, the retirement age is getting closer. It's obvious that it's not suitable for him to do so, but he still doesn't let people retire.
"He won't find any evidence for us. At most, he will make you suspicious and protect yourself." Xu Wenbin knocked his chopsticks together on the table. For this matter, he could only find clues about the Snow Mud Swan Claw at most. The real evidence had long been erased by Xu Qing. Otherwise, that guy would not have opened his mouth today.
Only that pair of straw sandals that had been kept for more than ten years could not prove anything, but it could explain a lot of things.
When everything was connected, the straw sandals were the rope. He still remembered that Xu Qing had sneakily pulled the curtains and asked him how much it was worth.
It was a pity that he did not notice his abnormality at that time.
…
Late at night.
Xu Qing sat on the edge of the bed and fiddled with the straw sandals. Jiang He rolled her eyes at him. She spat at him and put her phone aside. She slid down and pulled the quilt to lie down.
"Shi 'an learned it from you. Don't let him have some messy habits."
"What do you mean learned from me … I haven't given you many flowers." Xu Qing did not want to take the blame. "Maybe he learned it from you. He fiddled with flowers every day."
"He learned it from you to lie to girls."
"He wasn't here when I lied to you. Besides, is that called lying? You were the one who rubbed against me. "
"That's a lie!" Jiang He glared at him. She was a heroine. How could she rub against him?
"You were the one who was afraid that I would get hot and carried me into your room."
Xu Qing still remembered the first time he slept in the same room. It was Jiang He who wrapped him in a quilt and carried him there. How could she say that he lied? This woman was too good at distorting the truth.
"You were the one who cheated. I wanted to change rooms with you!" Jiang He was furious.
"Excuses. You were drooling over my beauty and wanted to sleep with me. You were the one who asked me to share a quilt with you. I was especially hot and didn't want to cover myself, but you forced me to."
"It's all your scheme!"
Shameless Xu Qing. He didn't dare to admit it!
Jiang He was furious. She took off her dress and was ready to fight with him.
…
On the other side of the city.
Xu Wenbin stood on the balcony with a coat over his shoulders. The cigarette in his hand was burning quietly. It was a small red dot in the dark night.
The moonlight was like water. The night wind blew, bringing with it the slight coolness of spring. It made people feel refreshed.
Qin Maocai, who was on the opposite balcony, finished smoking. He waved at him and went back to his room.
Xu Wenbin took a deep puff of his cigarette. He stared at the sky for a moment and then slowly exhaled. The smoke drifted with the wind on the balcony.
Who knew how many secrets were hidden in the endless starry sky.
When he was about to retire, he encountered this kind of thing. It almost overturned his perception.
At this age, he had experienced many things. That was why he was skeptical about some events with very small probability in the world.
Was time and space really what he thought it was?
Xu Wenbin stood still for a long time. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth moved silently. His mood became cheerful. He put down the cigarette and turned back to his room.
It would be very boring to find evidence for some things. Keeping a plausible conjecture was the most beautiful.
It was not a bad thing that the truth disappeared after Jiang He got his ID.
