Late at night, the siblings went back to their rooms to rest. Xu Qing played with the tortoise and went to the balcony. He leaned on the edge and looked at the lights in the distance.
The weather was a little stuffy, but there was a breeze on the top floor.
Time was really a wonderful thing. No matter when, he felt that he was still young, and the past seemed to be yesterday. When he suddenly looked back, he realized that it was a long, long time ago.
Jiang He was no longer the little heroine who only dared to kiss him when she was drunk. She had learned to buy her own sports underwear, and it was a set.
It was just that it was not convenient to wear it when the children were around, so it had been at the bottom of the wardrobe for a long time. It might be only after the siblings left home that she was willing to wear it.
"It's all your fault. You haven't enjoyed the world of the two of you before you secretly gave birth to two children." Sensing that Jiang He came out, Xu Qing did not look back and said in a low voice.
"It's not easy for them to grow up. I'm almost old." He touched his face and said. Fortunately, the man was forty-one and had no wrinkles. He took good care of himself.
Jiang He pursed her lips and smiled. She came behind him and leaned on his shoulder, gently shaking it.
"How am I old? You're quite good."
"Really?"
"Really, very good."
“Je t'aime.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang He's hand was soft. Although her fingertips were rough, they still had the softness of a woman when she did not use force. She stroked his stomach.
"I love you," Xu Qing explained.
The old couple said that it was a bit mushy, and it was more reserved to use a foreign language. However, the stupid Jiang He never understood it and had to translate for her.
This translation destroyed the mood, but he did not dare to let Jiang He learn, for fear that Jiang He would have two more children.
Although she was in her forties, Jiang He was still so energetic. The precipitation of time only left her a unique woman's charm, but it did not take away her beauty.
If there were books hidden in one's heart, time would never defeat a beauty. Jiang He didn't have a lot of ink in his stomach, but he still lived a carefree life.
Perhaps it was because she had been working at the flower shop for so many years. She slowly did what she wanted to do and was not disturbed by life. Daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt were all part of life. She enjoyed it and treated life gently. Time returned her gentleness.
Leaning on Xu Qing's broad shoulders, Jiang He greedily sucked in a deep breath. She quietly closed her eyes. She liked the smell of Xu Qing. It was different from when he was young, and it was getting more and more attractive.
When they were young, it was always Xu Qing who liked to nuzzle her neck. Only later did she realize that this feeling was really wonderful.
After being together for so many years, not only did their feelings not fade, they even became a part of each other's lives.
"I love you too." She murmured softly. Sometimes, she felt incomparably lucky to be able to cross over a thousand years and meet this person. It was as if it was fated.
Occasionally, she would think about what life would be like if she did not cross over time and meet Xu Qing. It was just that every time she thought about it, Jiang He didn't want to continue thinking about it.
His fingers brushed across his stomach. Xu Qing suddenly turned around and carried Jiang He horizontally. He wanted to take a bath together, but when they reached the living room, the door to Xu Jin's room was opened. She held the empty cup and was stunned. Looking at the old couple outside, she paused for a moment, then quietly shrank back and closed the door again.
"Aiyayaya!" Jiang He's face was slightly embarrassed. She knocked on Xu Qing's arm and said angrily: "Put me down!"
"She didn't see anything."
"Do you think Xiao Jin is blind?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask her what she saw."
Xu Qing didn't care. It was just hugging his wife, how could Xu Jin have any objections?
How dare he.
Xu Shi 'an and Xiaoxiao's admission was confirmed a week later. He earned a red packet from Xu Qing and took Xu Qing's cinema card to go on a date with Xiaoxiao. He didn't find it too hot.
They watched almost all the summer movies, and the two of them liked to sit in the back row.
When the admission notice arrived in August, Xu Qing and Qin Hao had a discussion. Together with the old couple, Xu Wenbin, and Qin Maocai, they gathered all their close relatives and friends and prepared a banquet.
There was no extravagant celebration. It was just a gathering of acquaintances. They booked a private room in a restaurant. Xu Wenbin and Qin Maocai brought their own drinks and took out a bottle of their treasured treasures.
Perhaps it was because of exhaustion, but Qin Hao's appearance looked much more weathered than Xu Qing's. His sideburns had already turned white, and he was truly a middle-aged man. He was always smiling, and his protruding belly made him look rather greasy. Only when he was working did he return to his former capable and experienced self.
This man who used to fight with knife-wielding criminals with his bare hands had become the big belly that he used to hate. His hot blood had been worn away by the messy life, but deep inside, he hadn't changed.
"Where's your Tiger Fool Fist? Let's practice? " He was jealous of Xu Qing's body. They were both in their forties, but why didn't this guy gain weight?
"Go away, I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill you."
Xu Qing poked Qin Hao's belly with his finger to feel the fullness and elasticity. He tilted his head and said, "I've already taught Shi 'an everything I know. You can practice with him."
"Dad!" Xu Shi 'an was shocked. How could he do this?
Didn't he just bring Xiaoxiao around in front of him and show off a few times?
"Your everything you know is to be despicable." Qin Hao's face darkened at the mention of this. His son took after his father. They were exactly the same.
He didn't know what Xiaoxiao saw in Xu Shi 'an. Other than being taller and having a better face, what else did he have?
What else?
Nothing good at all!
Qin Maocai smiled. The more he looked at Shi 'an, the more he liked him. He took Xiaoxiao's hand and held it with him. Xiaoxiao blushed, and Xu Shi' an felt a little embarrassed.
Qin Hao snorted and looked away, not wanting to watch. He lowered his head and poured wine for them.
"Isn't it forbidden to drink?"
"The law also forbids greed," Qin Hao said.
"Don't talk nonsense …"
Xu Qing shook his head. He had really changed. That self-disciplined fatty had become a wily old fox.
The older generation was very happy. They sat next to Xu Shi 'an and his siblings and even specially prepared gifts for them. Xu Jin received a fountain pen, Xiaoxiao received a zither, and Xu Shi' an was the most straightforward. He received a red packet prepared by Qin Maocai.
"Little money grubber, I heard from Xiaoxiao that you wash dishes at home every day to earn money." Qin Maocai smiled until his eyes were squinted. At his age, he had already seen through everything. Money and dreams were all personal choices. There was no difference between high and low.
"They stopped me from earning money a long time ago." After Xu Shi 'an entered the second year of high school, he no longer had anything to do with working and earning money. Other than studying, it was all about studying.
The meal was joyous. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, some people were still drinking while others gathered together to whisper. Xu Qing saw that Qin Hao was staring at Xu Shi 'an and Xiaoxiao's hands. He also felt that it was quite embarrassing for his son to be with Xiaoxiao, so he could not help but comfort him.
"Actually, it's not bad. Look, you guys are not by her side. At school, there are people who accompany her and bring her food when she is hungry. Shi 'an must be stingy and save money to bring her out to play. When she is thirsty, she will drink milk tea. When she is cold, she will add clothes.
"When she is wronged, there will be people who stand up for her, comfort her when she is unhappy, and care about her daily life. No one can do that. You can't do that either, right?"
"…"
Qin Hao was deep in thought. This son of a b * tch seemed to make sense.
But he still felt that something was not quite right.
"So you're saying that Shi 'an is at a disadvantage?" Qin Hao thought about it and was very displeased.
"Of course not. At school, Xiaoxiao takes care of him. She doesn't let him smoke or drink. When the weather is cold, she reminds him to wear more clothes. When he is sick, she takes care of him …"
Xu Qing waved his hand. When he thought about it this way, it seemed to be a win-win situation …
Damn it, something did not seem right.
"I got tricked by you again." Qin Hao could not figure out what the problem was. In any case, he must have been tricked by Xu Qing.
It was a pity that this guy did not engage in multi-level marketing.
The two of them were drunk and could not think straight, so they simply shut up. They could not do anything about it. Previously, they could even sneak out to play right under their noses. Now that they were going to Luoyang City, these two would definitely let go of themselves.
Young people.
Sigh, sigh …
The two old fathers looked at their children. A myriad of thoughts ran through their minds. In the end, they could only sigh. They would grow up eventually.
…
After the graduation banquet, it was almost the end of August. It was getting closer and closer to the start of school.
Xu Jin became a complete otaku. She watched dramas and read books. She enjoyed the air conditioner, drank cola, and ate popsicles. She would not go out unless she had to. Xu Shi 'an played every day. He would either go out to play with Xiaoxiao or bring Xiaoxiao home. He would wander around in front of Xu Qing all day long. It was annoying to watch.
"Dad, do you know what it means to be betrothed before birth?"
On this day, Xu Qing was watching dramas. When he heard Xu Shi 'an's words, he felt like a fly buzzing around him.
"You two didn't point at her. Do you think it's the old society?" Xu Qing said without raising his head.
"No, betrothed before birth. I pointed at Xiaoxiao's belly and said that we are getting married."
“？！”
Xu Qing raised his head abruptly and stared straight at Xu Shi 'an.
What did you mean by pointing at her belly?
What the hell did you do?
"Hahahahaha, I was just teasing you. Dad, this is a free pass. School is starting soon. It's not fun to not use one. Here."
Xu Shi 'an saw the change in his father's expression and happily took out a free pass from his pocket.
Xu Qing did not take it.
"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you unbuckling your belt in broad daylight?!" Xu Shi 'an was shocked. "I have a free pass. Free …"
Before he finished speaking, he threw the pass and ran away.
It turned out that people who used this pass in history had all encountered people like Xu Qing.
Xu Jin frowned as she listened to the noise outside. She closed the window.
It was instantly quiet.
