Chapter 396 A Dish of Life (1)
As soon as he clicked yes, Jiang Feng was surrounded by thick fog.
After a few seconds, the fog began to disperse, and Jiang Feng found himself in a dark room. Because it was night and there were no lights in the house, Jiang Feng could only see the faint moonlight coming through the small window. The visibility was very low and he could hardly see anything.
Jiang Feng looked around and could only vaguely see the furniture near the window and the cabinet very close to him. He couldn't see anything else, let alone people.
This was the first time he entered his memory that it was night, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.
Jiang Feng went straight through the wall after searching to no avail. This was not the first time he spent the night in his memory. The outside was definitely brighter than the inside. Since he couldn't see inside, he might as well go outside directly.
When Jiang Feng walked out through the wall, the first thing he did was to look up for the moon.
The moon and stars are sparse, and it looks like tomorrow will be a sunny day.
Through the moonlight, Jiang Feng finally saw clearly where he was.
He was in a house, and the area was quite small by visual inspection. There were two side houses next to the house that Jiang Feng had just walked out of, and there was a weed garden in front of the house. It seems that no one has taken care of the garden for a long time. The weeds have grown wildly and have completely covered the flowers originally planted in the garden, and even the roads have been blocked.
By the moonlight, Jiang Feng took a closer look at these rooms and determined that this was an old house that had not been taken care of or repaired for a long time.
The house is made of wood. Jiang Feng cannot tell the type of wood. The wood paint on the door frame and door, which symbolizes face, has aged and fallen off due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, and no one has repaired it. The papered windows on the wall of the side house are broken. Just leave it there. Jiang Feng guessed that either the owner of the house did not pay attention to the house and did not take care of it, or he had no money and did not even replace the window paper in time.
But why is Grandpa here?
Jiang Feng walked through the wall and returned to the house. It was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything except the window and the table.
After staying in the room for a while, I didn't hear any sound. I guess he had fallen asleep. Jiang Feng had no interest in staying in a dark room, so he went out through the wall again and found a place to sit at the door, waiting for daybreak to see things.
Jiang Feng sat quietly at the door while guessing what time it was.
As far as Jiang Feng knew, Jiang Chengde's father lost the family property due to opium smoking when he was young and sold Taifeng Tower to others. Later, Taifeng Tower moved from outside the customs to Peking, and Jiang Chengde also took his sister, wife and children there. to Peiping. The Jiang family lived in Peiping for many years, until the fall of Peiping and the whole family fled south, and what happened next.
Jiang Feng had seen the Jiang family's small courtyard house in Peiping before in Jiang Huiqin's memory. It only had a small courtyard. Jiang Huiqin's room was very small, so the other houses were probably not much bigger, and the house was not as shabby. This is not Peiping. Jiang Chengde probably couldn't live in a house like this when he fled south, so he would have to live outside the customs.
This is the Jiang family's old house, an old house in the true sense.
After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Feng couldn't help but stand up and look around to see where he could go.
The places Jiang Feng could go were limited. There was a small door at the end of the abandoned weed garden, but it was locked. There was a path behind this row of houses, and there seemed to be a row of houses at the end of the path. Jiang Feng also saw a wall that seemed to surround this area.
This layout doesn't look like a normal house, but rather like a specially circled area.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng saw a light.
A man was holding a lamp in his hand and walking towards Jiang Feng from the other end of the path. The light emitted by the lamp was very weak, but it was enough to illuminate the road.
When the person got closer, Jiang Feng realized that the person holding the lantern was a pregnant woman, or a girl would be more appropriate to describe her. Although she was pregnant, she looked to be in her teens or 20s.
The girl holding the lantern held the lantern in her right hand and supported her waist with her left hand. She walked slowly, her hair was spread out, and she looked a little sleepy and yawned uncontrollably.
Jiang Feng watched her walk to the house, push the door open, walk straight into the house, then turn around and close the door carefully to avoid making any loud noise.
Once people entered the room and there were lights, they could see clearly what the room looked like. Jiang Feng quickly followed him through the wall.
"Bohe, why aren't you asleep yet?" As soon as Jiang Feng entered, he discovered that there was actually someone else in the room. Jiang Chengde had actually been sitting on a chair on the street, but he didn't move or make a sound before. , so Jiang Feng didn't notice anyone in the room at all.
Now that Jiang Chengde is in the room, the identity of the young woman with a big belly in front of him is self-evident. She is Jiang Feng's great-grandmother, a great-grandmother who died young and has never been mentioned by the old man.
"Can't sleep." Jiang Chengde stood up and helped his wife to the bedside, then poured her a cup of tea, "Wei Ze and Wei Jin are making trouble again?"
Qin Wan (grandma) couldn't help but laugh when she mentioned her children: "Wei Ze was just a baby, Wei Jin had just learned to speak, and Huiqin was still young. There was nothing she could do if the two boys made trouble together. She couldn't I'm content with just messing around with these two boys. I asked Huiqin to go back to the next room to sleep first. I coaxed the two boys to calm down before coming back. Two boys at home are already noisy enough. I hope the baby in my belly is a girl, otherwise I will have three boys. I really can’t stand it.”
Qin Wan was chattering, and when she raised her head, she realized that Jiang Chengde was not listening to her seriously at all, so she pushed him: "What are you thinking about?"
"Wanwan, are you going to give birth next month?" Jiang Chengde asked.
"Doctor Zhou said it should be around the 10th of next month." Qin Wan looked at Jiang Chengde and saw that he still looked worried, thinking that he was worried about his unborn child. "Doctor Zhou said that I was pregnant this time." It’s very good, there will be no problem.”
"Mr. Lu told me something today." Jiang Chengde said.
The smile on Qin Wan's face suddenly stopped, and she was a little nervous: "What...what happened?"
"He said he wanted to move Tai Feng Tower to Beiping City."
Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought..."
"Why?"
"I thought Mr. Lu was going to rush us..."
"Mr. Lu is not such a person." Jiang Chengde said.
"I know that when my father sold both the house and Tai Feng House, Mr. Lu bought the house and specially designated this area for us to live in. He didn't force us to pay back the money he owed, and he didn't feel sorry for us and treated us too much. He has taken care of us, and he has been extremely kind to us," Qin Wan said, "It's just that I heard some time ago that Mr. Lu's business didn't seem to be very prosperous, and I thought it was because he was short of money, so..."
"Moving to Beiping is a good thing. Beiping is more prosperous than outside the customs. I heard that there is a girls' school. Moving there will be a good thing for Huiqin and her children." The expression on Jiang Chengde's face was revealed He didn't actually think so in his heart.
Qin Wan could see what Jiang Chengde was worried about, gently stroked her belly, and smiled: "You are hesitating whether to take dad to Peking with you, right?"
Jiang Chengde was silent.
"Bohe, you go to the hospital to see dad tomorrow. If you want, we can go together." Qin Wan said with a smile, "Huiqin and the others haven't seen dad for a long time, and the two boys Wei Ze and Wei Jin It’s okay to be heartless. Although Huiqin doesn’t say it, I know what she is thinking in her heart.”
"If the doctor agrees, bring dad back tomorrow. Our family hasn't had a meal together for a long time." (End of Chapter)
