There was a flash before his eyes!
Time suddenly reversed!
Dong Xuebing used BACK and returned to one minute ago!
It's been a while since Dong Xuebing used BACK, and he was not used to it. Luckily, he had been standing in Jiang Fangfang's bedroom and did not move. His mind went blank for a while before he regained his balance. He looked at Jiang Fangfang, who was lying on the bed.
"Don't tell him."
"Mom, how would Xiao Tao remember your birthday?"
"Why can't he remember! Every year, Xiao Tao would celebrate our birthdays! "
"That's because I reminded him. He's so busy with work, he won't remember this."
Dong Xuebing suddenly interrupted. "Why don't you remember? I can forget anyone's birthday, but I can't forget my mother's birthday. "
Jiang Fangfang paused for a second. She knew she had not told Dong Xuebing about her mother's birthday, and Dong Xuebing should not know about it.
Mrs. Jiang said, "Then when is my birthday?"
"4th of July."
Jiang Fangfang was stunned for a moment and looked at him deeply.
Mrs. Jiang did not even stutter. She continued, "What's your birthday?"
"I'm on February 1st."
"Where's Fangfang?"
"Fangfang, it's January 15th."
"Where's her father?"
"My dad's birthday is on the 27th day of the first lunar month."
"Alright!" Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath and looked at him. "Let me ask you one last question. Aunt Zhou, our neighbor downstairs, when is her birthday?"
Jiang Fangfang interrupted, "I don't even know about Auntie Zhou's birthday. She doesn't have a good relationship with our family, so how would Little Tao know about it?"
Jiang's mother kept quiet and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing replied without hesitation. "Aunt Zhou's birthday is the same as yours. It's July 4th."
Jiang Fangfang obviously didn't know. "Mom, is that so?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded and stared at Dong Xuebing. "Yes … Yes … You are right. You did not attend my birthday celebration, and it was Xiao Tao who came over to celebrate my birthday. After dinner, Xiao Tao accompanied your father and I for a walk downstairs and met Aunt Zhou's family. Only Xiao Tao knows about this, and even you don't." Grandma Jiang exclaimed excitedly. "It's really Xiao Tao!"
Dong Xuebing sat on the bed. "Mum."
"Hey! Hey! " Mrs. Jiang grabbed Dong Xuebing's hand. "Good boy, you are finally back! You are finally back!"
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "I am too busy and had to go on a business trip for a few months. It's not that I don't want to visit you, but I can't afford to."
"Business trip? No wonder. "
"I didn't make it in time for dad's matter, I …"
"It's not your fault. It's good that you're back."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I … I came back late."
"Your father is gone, and this is his fate. You also know my body's condition, and I don't think I can live for more than a few years. I am worried about Fangfang. Do you know how worried I am when you did not visit me for a few months? I know the two of you must have quarreled, but it's normal for a couple to get together at the end of the bed. "
"Sorry to make you worry, Mom."
"I'm relieved to see your mother." Mrs. Jiang suddenly said, "Oh right, is your business trip over? Are we leaving or not? "
Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Fangfang.
Jiang Fangfang shook her head as if she wants Dong Xuebing to make the decision himself.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and looked at his mother's hopeful eyes. "I'm not leaving, Mum. I will not be going anywhere. I will visit you when I am free in the future."
Mama Jiang squeezed his hand and said, "Alright, alright. But you don't have to worry about Mom. There's a nanny. I'm just worried about Fangfang. It's good that you're back. You must take good care of Fangfang. Don't think that she's a county magistrate now. What is real is real. Living a good life is real. If both of you can live a good life, I will have nothing to worry about. "
Jiang Fangfang asked. "What are you going to do if you have nothing to worry about?"
Mama Jiang smiled and said, "Of course it's to live my own free and unfettered life, so that I don't have to see your face every day. How annoying, hehe."
Jiang Fangfang also laughed. "Look at how happy you are."
Mrs. Jiang patted Dong Xuebing's hand. "How can I not be happy when my son-in-law is back? Oh, Fangfang, why did you chase the helper away? Ask her to come back and cook. No … never mind. You should cook. There will be no outsiders tonight. Just the three of us can have a family reunion dinner."
Jiang Fangfang nodded. "Ok. But you forgot something."
"What is it?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
Jiang Fangfang picked up the bowl of Chinese medicine and said. "Drink your medicine, water, and eat."
Dong Xuebing also tried to persuade his mother. "That's right. Hurry up and drink your medicine."
"Alright … I will listen to my daughter and son-in-law. Haha …" Mrs. Jiang was in a good mood. Without a word, she gulped down the disgusting Chinese medicine. She exhaled and called out to her daughter, "Hurry up and get me a steamed bun. I'm starving." Mrs. Jiang was in a good mood. She gulped down the disgusting Chinese medicine.
Jiang Fangfang and Dong Xuebing were amused by Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang stared at her daughter. "It's all because of you. If you had let Xiao Tao come back earlier, I will not be hungry."
"Ok. I will get it for you. Let's have dinner later. If not, you will not be able to eat. It's almost 3 pm." Jiang Fangfang went to the kitchen to heat up the leftovers.
The moment the dinner was ready, Mrs. Jiang started eating. "Xiao Tao, do you want to eat?"
"No, mum. I had just eaten, and I am not hungry." Dong Xuebing replied.
"Then I will not care about you two. You two don't need to accompany me. Go out and watch TV. Xiao Tao had just returned, and you two should be spending some time together. I know."
Dong Xuebing blushed and cleared his throat.
"Oh, Fangfang, give me the medicine." Mrs. Jiang said.
Jiang Fangfang replied helplessly. "You had just drunk your medicine. Did you forget?"
"Really?" Mrs. Jiang nodded.
After chatting for a while, Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang left the bedroom.
Jiang Fangfang glanced at Dong Xuebing. "How did you know about my family's birthday?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Err … I had seen your file and saw it by chance. I have a good memory, and I remembered everything."
Jiang Fangfang ran her fingers through her hair. "What about Aunt Zhou?"
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "This is my analysis. You don't even know about it. She must have her reasons for asking this question. That's why I thought it must be the same as your family's birthday. After excluding your birthday, only your parents' birthday is left. Your father had just passed away, and I think your mother will not want to talk about this. That's why only your mother's birthday is left. I was stunned for a while, and I didn't expect my guess to be right."
Jiang Fangfang smiled. "It's the right decision to ask you. No one can be as smart as you."
