In June, it was always very late before night fell.
At six o 'clock in the afternoon, it was still daytime. Jiang He leaned against the white car door and took selfies with Xu Jin, looking like a loving mother and daughter.
"I'm coming up, I'm coming up." Xu Qing came back and handed them the milk tea in his hand. He got in the car and went to another examination room to pick up Shi 'an.
Before the exam, they were treasures, but after the exam, they became grass. The three days of the college entrance examination had passed, and the siblings were about to become free-range.
Jiang He sipped his kumquat and lemon, then turned his head to look at Xu Qing.
"Where did you go just now?"
"Walking around."
"You walked for so long." She thought that Xu Qing was just walking around. She didn't expect him to go out for most of the afternoon.
"I sent a cup of milk to the florist. The old woman has been working hard these days."
As Xu Qing spoke, he saw Jiang He pass the straw on the cup to him. He tilted his head slightly and took a sip. Only then did he remember that he only brought three cups and forgot to buy his own.
It seemed that the focus of his life had gradually shifted to his wife and children, to the point that he often neglected himself.
A person's energy was indeed limited. It was more than enough to take care of one person, but two more people would be missed, and he could only miss himself … Xu Qing suddenly understood why rich families in ancient times couldn't coexist peacefully with three wives and four concubines. They had to fight and scheme against each other. If they didn't fight for favor, they would be the one left out.
Fortunately, the siblings were about to leave … No, they were about to go to college. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tap his fingers on the steering wheel and hummed softly.
Xu Shi 'an waited for the couple and Xu Jin outside the examination room. He opened the door and got in the car. He snatched his cup of milk tea from Xu Jin's hand and poked the straw into it to take two sips.
"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Xu Shi 'an felt that Xu Qing's laughter was inexplicably strange.
"Nothing. It's just that the two of you will go to college in two or three months, and I feel very reluctant."
"Shouldn't you be sad if you don't want to? Why do I feel that you are very happy? "
"Shut up, I am sad."
Xu Qing berated him. His son dared to question his father? Did he not want his love fund anymore?
In the structure of the family, financial power was the right to speak. Jiang He, who could break all kinds of rules by himself, did not count. She always held the highest power.
Xiaoxiao was her goddaughter. When Shi 'an got married in the future, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be stable. If Shi' an and Xiaoxiao got into a fight …
Xu Qing looked at Xu Shi 'an's youthful face in the rearview mirror and suddenly felt sorry for his son. Stupid Shi' an still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
It should be very difficult to change one's family status from childhood to adulthood until marriage.
"Dad, why are you looking at me?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that your childhood sweetheart is quite amazing. You've been training a girlfriend since kindergarten."
"Actually, I don't know why Xiaoxiao likes to play with me." Xu Shi 'an scratched his head. "Maybe it's because I'm handsome?"
"Because you lifted her skirt," Xu Jin said coldly.
"What?!" Xu Shi 'an was shocked. "When did I do something like that? Don't slander me! "
"Hmph!"
Xu Jin turned her head. She had a very early memory, and the incident of Xu Shi 'an lifting her skirt was still fresh in her memory. The main thing was that she was also beaten up because of it.
"Do you want to go home or drive around?"
Xu Qing didn't join in the conversation between the siblings. He rested his arm on the car window and enjoyed the cool breeze outside. There was a traffic jam in front of them. The roads in Jiangcheng had widened by more than a third compared to ten years ago, but it was still so congested in the evening.
From another perspective, it also meant that the standard of living had been improving.
The siblings slumped in the back seat and drank their milk tea. Even though Xu Jin said it in a relaxed manner, he still looked relieved after the college entrance examination. He was lazy and didn't like to move. He looked out of the window with a straw in his mouth and spaced out.
"Let's drive around. I'm not hungry yet," Xu Shi 'an said.
Xu Shi 'an called out. Xu Qing turned a corner and left the main road. She brought them for a ride.
The sun had completely set, but the sky was still bright. It would be close to eight o 'clock before night began to fall.
As they drove, they habitually arrived at the suburbs. This was where Jiang He liked to relax. The wheat in June was golden and boundless. It was another harvest season.
Soon, the wheat would be harvested, leaving only stubble.
"Dad, what are you majoring in?"
"Chinese Language Department. When I took the college entrance examination, I wanted to be a teacher."
"Really? Xiaoxiao also wanted to be a teacher. Why didn't you become one after that? "Xu Shi 'an asked excitedly.
"I got into a fight."
"…"
"…"
Xu Shi 'an and Xu Jin were both silent. As expected of you, Dad.
As expected, there must be a story between the two of them. They looked at Jiang He, and Jiang He felt a little guilty.
"So, if you want to fight, you have to think about it, especially Jin. If you hurt someone, you won't be able to graduate from university, let alone become a lawyer."
"I don't like fighting. Shi 'an likes it."
"Sister, I don't like it," Xu Shi 'an said.
"No, you like it. Otherwise, why would I go to law school? It's to prepare for your lawsuit." Xu Jin looked like he was wholeheartedly looking out for his brother.
"… You're really my biological sister."
Xu Shi 'an was helpless. He didn't like fighting, and he couldn't beat others, not even Xu Jin.
It was hard not to suspect that Xu Jin wanted to go to law school because she wanted to beat others. When the time came, she wouldn't be afraid of talking or fighting. This sister of his seemed to be invincible.
He didn't know which unlucky guy would get involved with her in the future. If he dared to do anything wrong, not only would he be beaten, he would also be kicked out of the house naked, not even leaving behind a pair of underwear — it was really tragic.
Xu Jin felt offended by Xu Shi 'an's sympathetic gaze. He clenched his delicate little fist, indicating that he could smash his head.
Xu Shi 'an changed the topic wisely. "What about my mom? Has she been learning how to grow flowers? "
"If she studied hard, she would definitely go to an agricultural university," Xu Qing said. Jiang He glared at him.
"She's self-taught. Your mom is amazing."
Come to think of it, none of the three generations were the same. Xu Wenbin dealt with history his whole life, while Xu Jin went to study law …
"Doesn't she want to study history?" Xu Jin glanced at Jiang He. He always wanted to be an ancient person.
"She's already a history major. Why would she need to study?"
"Alright, alright!"
Xu Jin quickly waved his hand. He had enough of this couple. Maybe he should apply for a psychology major and treat them in the future. They were already showing signs of having delusions.
When night fell, Xu Qing drove them to have a big meal. Jiang He had been cooking at home for the past few days. He was afraid that he would get a stomachache if he ate outside. Now, he could finally have a big meal.
Xu Shi 'an had just relaxed for a while when he began to worry that Xiaoxiao would not do well. If he got in but Xiaoxiao didn't, it would be over.
"Sister, you have to bless us …"
"Alright, I'll bless you." Xu Jin imitated Bodhisattva and tapped on Xu Shi 'an's head.
As the car passed by the Lan River Bridge, neon lights flashed on the opposite side. Jiang He, who was in the passenger seat, suddenly leaned forward and looked out the window.
