Afternoon.
4.30 pm.
It was not raining heavily, but it was still light.
Mrs. Jiang's living room. Dong Xuebing helped Jiang Fangfang hang up her clothes, put away her bedsheets, and wipe her heels.
"Don't worry about it. Let me do it."
"I dropped it by accident."
"It's fine. Just leave it there."
"I will wipe it now. Don't waste my hands."
Jiang Fangfang did not agree and snatched the heels from Dong Xuebing. She wiped it herself. "Let me do the shoes. If you have nothing to do, go and wash the vegetables. The vegetables are in the fridge. You can take out whatever you like. After I am done, we will cut the vegetables into slices and stir-fry them when my mum wakes up."
"Ok."
"Remember to switch on the kitchen lights."
"No need. I can see."
"The fridge lights are broken. I am afraid you can't see clearly."
Dong Xuebing entered the kitchen and opened the fridge to prepare the vegetables. He did not wait for Jiang Fangfang after washing the vegetables. He knew Jiang Fangfang must be tired these few days, and he cut the vegetables himself. After Jiang Fangfang finished wiping her shoes and clothes, Dong Xuebing did not ask her to do anything.
After Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang were done, it was 5 pm.
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang did not do anything and sat on the sofa to watch TV. They were about an arm's length away from each other. Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang did not dare to watch the news. It was a variety show, and it was not bad. Jiang Fangfang is not a talkative person, and Dong Xuebing is also not a talkative person. They just watch TV and did not chat. After all, Jiang Fangfang's mother is still in the room, and they should not speak too much.
After a while.
Jiang Fangfang looked at her watch. "It's time to call me mum."
"Oh, Sister Jiang." Dong Xuebing asked softly. "How did your husband address you in the past?"
Jiang Fangfang paused for a while. "He usually calls me Fangfang. You can also call me that when my mum is around."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I will remember. Anyway, I seldom talk."
Suddenly, someone opened the bedroom door, and Jiang Fangfang's grandmother walked out.
Jiang Fangfang moved faster and moved closer to Dong Xuebing. She leaned closer to Dong Xuebing and held his hand. Dong Xuebing was stunned and quickly returned her hand. Their hands were intertwined, and Dong Xuebing could feel Sister Jiang's warmth and smoothness in her palm. Her hand was soft, and it felt good to hold it. In the eyes of the old lady, the two of them were a couple. After not seeing each other for so long, they should be intimate. It was impossible for them to sit on the sofa and watch TV with a distance of eight feet between them.
"Mom, you're awake?" Jiang Fangfang got up.
Dong Xuebing also stood up. He saw Sister Jiang did not let go of his hand, and he continued to hold it.
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "You're awake. You had a good sleep. Are you two watching TV? By the way, Fangfang, it's time for Mom to take her medicine. "
"You just finished drinking in the afternoon."
"… Did you drink it?"
"I drank it. It's not time for tonight's medicine yet."
"Oh, look at my brain. Little Tao, are you hungry?"
"Hehe, it's alright. We'll eat as you say."
"Let's eat. We have nothing to do anyway."
"Then we will cook. Take a seat."
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang entered the kitchen hand in hand. The old lady looked at their backs and nodded with a smile.
Kitchen.
Jiang Fangfang let go of Dong Xuebing's hand after the door closed.
Dong Xuebing was still holding her hand. He was stunned and quickly let go of her hand.
Jiang Fangfang did not feel uncomfortable. "You are the one cutting the vegetables. I will cook the vegetables, and you can help me with the soy sauce and sugar."
"Ok."
"Let's start cooking."
Dinner was ready and served quickly. Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing sat down and ate.
The old lady was in a good mood and kept putting food into Dong Xuebing's bowl. "Come, Xiao Tao. Eat this. Don't think that I am stupid. I know what you and Fangfang like to eat."
Dong Xuebing quickly nodded. "Thank you, Mum."
Jiang Fangfang also took some vegetables for her mother. "You should eat too. Don't mind him."
"That's right. You should eat." Dong Xuebing took whatever Jiang Fangfang picked for him and passed his chopsticks to Jiang Fangfang. "Jiang …" Dong Xuebing quickly changed his words. "Fangfang, here."
Jiang Fangfang nodded.
Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed after calling her Fangfang.
The old lady suddenly asked. "What day is it today?"
"Mum, it's Saturday." Dong Xuebing replied.
The old lady asked. "Then both of you should rest tomorrow?"
"Yes. We will start work on Monday." Dong Xuebing still had not thought about it and replied.
"That's good." Jiang Fangfang's mother smiled. "Xiao Tao, it's been a while since you visited me. Let me tell you this. You must not leave today. Stay with Fangfang at home."
Dong Xuebing was surprised. "Stay here?"
Jiang Fangfang's mother replied. "Yes. Don't leave."
Jiang Fangfang interrupted. "Xiao Tao still has things to do at home. I will stay here with you. Let him go."
"Don't you have tomorrow off? What else can he do? " The old lady was unhappy. "Even if he has something to do, he must postpone it. It's been a few months, and I finally get to see my son-in-law."
Jiang Fangfang looked at her mother. "There is no place to stay at home."
The old lady continued. "Xiao Tao will sleep on the floor with you every time he comes over. Our house's floor isn't cold. If you can't sleep, you can use a few more layers of blankets. The two of you can sleep in the living room.
"Mum." Jiang Fangfang said helplessly. "He really has something to do."
Dong Xuebing added. "That's right. He has something urgent to attend to at night …"
The old lady's temper flared up. "You all must stay with me today. It's raining heavily, and I will be worried if you all drive away." As they were talking, there was a loud clap of thunder, and the rain outside got louder. The old lady said. "Look! It's raining so heavily."
Jiang Fangfang still did not agree. "Xiao Tao's car is good, and he will be fine in the rain. Let him go back after dinner."
The old lady gave her daughter a stare. "You brat! Why don't you care about your man? What if something happens on such a rainy day? You all don't want to sleep on the floor? Fine. I will sleep in the living room, and I will sleep on the floor. Both of you can sleep on the bed in the bedroom. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "How can we do that?"
Jiang Fangfang's mother is like a child. "Anyway, none of you can leave."
If Dong Xuebing is really Jiang Fangfang's husband, and Dong Xuebing had not returned for so long, Dong Xuebing can't leave. Even if he has to sleep in the kitchen, he should stay. But the problem now is that Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang are not husband and wife.
Stay?
One-bedroom?
Sleeping on the floor?
How can they sleep in the same bed?
This is putting Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang in a difficult position!
But the old lady is firm, and there is no room for negotiation.
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang looked at each other and did not know what to do.
Jiang Fangfang thought for a while and said to Dong Xuebing. "Then you … don't leave."
Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat and heard the old lady saying. "That's right. Come, let's have dinner."
