Chapter 315 Childhood Sweethearts
“My parents said a few days ago that you might not come back this year.”
Jiang Family.
The girl helped clean up the house together.
These days, it is really rare for a girl to be willing to do housework, but the girl's demeanor as she wiped the kitchen table with a rag was quite natural.
“When did you come back?”
Jiang Chen, who was mopping the floor, raised his head and asked.
"I'll be back after the holiday, otherwise it will be late and I'm afraid I won't be able to book the tickets."
That's right.
The city where the girl studied was further away than Jiang Chen, in Kyoto.
"Is there anything else that needs to be wiped?"
The kitchen table was wiped clean and the girl turned around.
“No, please take a break.”
Jiang Chen put down the mop, took the kettle, and planned to boil water to pour tea for the girl.
"Okay, I'm not thirsty, why are you so polite."
The girl smiled, and then looked Jiang Chen up and down.
"What? Don't you know each other?"
Jiang Chen still filled the kettle with water and plugged it in, "Are you saying that you haven't seen a handsome guy in the University of Political Science and Law?"
< br>"Not to mention, there are many handsome guys at the University of Political Science and Law, and all of them have temperament."
Jiang Chen smiled.
"So, have you found a boyfriend?"
The girl, who was considered a first-class beauty no matter which college she went to, suddenly choked and stared angrily.
“No, what’s wrong?”
The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth turned up.
"Fang Qing, you said that you are about to graduate from college, but you have never even been in love. If you tell us, it will bring shame to our compound."
"Jiang Chen, I don’t want to talk about it. Let me tell you, there are so many boys chasing me!”
“Anyone can talk.”
“You!”
The girl studying law seemed to have not yet perfected her emotional control skills, and she was teased by Jiang Chen into losing her composure with just a few words.
"What about you? Didn't that girlfriend you talked to last time say she was the class beauty of your class? Why didn't you bring her back this time?"
Jiang Chen acted as if nothing had happened.
"You didn't update the news timely enough. I have broken up with her."
"Breaked up?"
The girl crossed her arms and said, "I didn't often break up with her before." Are you posting on Moments to show your affection? How did you break up? "You were dumped?"
The girl just responded deliberately, but Jiang Chen actually nodded calmly.
"Congratulations, you guessed it correctly."
"..."
The girl's tone paused.
“Really dumped?”
She asked tentatively.
"Yeah."
"Why should she dump you?"
The girl suddenly became angry again.
"Because I'm poor, I don't blame others. If it were me, I wouldn't find a poor boy."
The girl sighed.
“I told you on WeChat that you shouldn’t look for someone too beautiful when looking for a girlfriend, but you didn’t listen.”
Jiang Chen smiled hoarsely.
They say everyone has a childhood sweetheart.
And this girl is his childhood sweetheart.
The two are of the same age, and because of their door-to-door relationship, they have known each other almost since they wore crotchless pants. Although they became very different from each other after going to college, this friendship from president to adult will never change.
"Classmate Fang Qing, I don't agree with your point of view. Ask other male compatriots, who doesn't want to find a beautiful one?"
"Can beauty be used as food?"
Self Fang Qing, who definitely belongs to the ranks of beauties, made a very classic statement.
Jiang Chen was silent for a long time.
"...It is only reasonable for you to say this from Aunt Pan's mouth."
"You men are all visual animals, so you can only blame others for the loss. You deserve it."
Fang Qing rolled her eyes at him, and then said: "By the way, my mother said that you should come to my house for dinner."
"This... is not good. Right?”
“What’s wrong?”
Fang Qing smiled.
"You didn't often come to my house to eat and drink. You came even if I wasn't invited. You couldn't even drive me away. How do you know you're embarrassed now?"
Jiang Chen coughed lightly.
“It’s boring to always bring up things from the past.”
“Isn’t what I said the truth? I didn’t accuse you wrongly.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen simply Hold on a little longer.
"Then who was always mumbling that it belonged to my wife? So that other girls in the kindergarten stopped playing with me,"
"..."
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then her white cheeks immediately turned red.
"I didn't accuse you wrongly, right? Uncle Fang, Aunt Pan and the others can all testify."
Jiang Chen looked calm.
"I'll eat you! Don't come here!"
Fang Qing, furious, pushed Jiang Chen away and walked out quickly, taking the mop that was leaning against the wall to the ground.
Jiang Chen lifted the mop up and sighed secretly.
He is still a top student at the University of Political Science and Law.
With this kind of temper, how can we achieve justice and uphold justice for the people in the future?
Although Fang Qing asked him not to come, in the end Jiang Chen still sat at the Fang family's dining table openly. It was Fang Weiguo who invited him personally.
The layout of the Fang family is exactly the same as that of the Jiang family, with the same two bedrooms and one living room, plus a small kitchen, but the decoration is definitely much better than that of the Jiang family. Although the area is not large, But it looks very cozy.
"Xiao Jiang, you have to have a couple of drinks with your uncle today. This is the deer antler wine I bought in Kinmen. I wouldn't take it out to ordinary people. Today, we are drinking happily. We are not drunk." Return."
Fang Weiguo happily brought out a wine jar.
"It's okay to drink a little, but don't drink too much. Xiao Jiang is still a child." Pan Hui warned.
"What kid? He is about to graduate from college. At his age, I have been working hard for several years."
Fang Weiguo disagreed, took out two cups and started pouring wine.
There were seven or eight dishes on the dining table. A family of three would definitely not have such a rich meal. It must have been to entertain Jiang Chen.
Pan Hui was helpless. Although she was the "head of the family", her husband was traveling all year round, which was very hard. It was rare for her to have this kind of elegance, and she couldn't bear to stop it, so she looked at her daughter who had been silent. .
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you? You two grew up together, why don't you talk now?"
"Mom, ask him."
Fang Qing glanced at Jiang Chen.
Pan Hui turned her head strangely.
"Aunt Pan, it's okay, it was just a joke between Fang Qing and I just now."
"What a joke?"
"Mom, he said I was his wife!"
Fang Qing seized the opportunity to complain.
The couple were startled.
"No, I mean, when we were young, didn't Fang Qing and I often play house? I just mentioned it, and then Fang Qing got angry."
Fang Weiguo and his wife Only then did he suddenly realize, and then he smiled.
"Qingqing, you are studying law, how can you be so petty? Jiang Chen was just joking, and he was right. When you were a child, you always claimed that you were the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. For this reason, Your Uncle Jiang also said that you can marry me in the future..."
Speaking of this, Fang Weiguo couldn't help but think of his deceased friend, his mood became a little depressed for a while, and he sighed softly.
If the Jiang couple were still alive, this marriage might have really happened. After all, the two families were happy to see each other, and the two children had grown up together and knew each other well.
What a pity.
"Okay, let's eat."
Pan Hui quickly stopped the topic so as not to arouse the child's sadness.
"What are your plans after graduation? Should you stay in Donghai or..."
Fang Weiguo and Jiang Chen clinked glasses.
“Well, I want to stay in the East China Sea for development first.”
Jiang Chen took a sip of the deer antler wine collected by the other party. It was indeed good, very moist, and very easy on the throat, even if he was like this Anyone who doesn’t know anything about wine knows it’s good wine.
"I heard that life in Donghai is very stressful..."
Pan Hui subconsciously said,
"Without pressure, where can you get motivation?"
Fang Weiguo said: "Should we let Jiang Chen come back to our Shacheng? The average salary in Shacheng is only three thousand, and it is impossible to make any progress in a lifetime. Good men aspire to be everywhere, Jiang Chen, Uncle Fang supports you, he has been optimistic about you since he was a child, Uncle believes that you will be able to work hard to create your own world in the East China Sea.”
"Dad, can you please don't bring what you and your friends are bragging about here?"
Fang Qing interrupted.
"You kid. What a compliment, dad is telling the truth. Jiang Chen, you have to work hard and don't let your uncle and your parents down."
Facing Fang Weiguotou With his expectant eyes, Jiang Chen seemed to be seeing his father.
He nodded silently.
"Uncle Fang, thank you for taking care of you and Aunt Pan for so many years. Let me toast you."
"Xiaochen, why are you so polite to Aunt Pan? Your Uncle Fang and I have seen each other since we were young. As you grow up, you are our own child in our hearts, no different from Qingqing. And when your parents left, we promised that we would take good care of you. Seeing that you have grown up now, your Uncle Fang and I , which can be regarded as an explanation to your parents."
As he said that, the corners of Pan Hui's eyes were slightly moist.
She is also a mother.
Door to door, she can clearly see how difficult it has been for this child these years.
"Mom, what are you doing? Are you asking Jiang Chen to stop eating?"
Fang Qing looked at Jiang Chen and said.
Pan Hui wiped the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. "Auntie hasn't used the chopsticks yet. They are clean. Try them and see if your skills have deteriorated..."
"Jiang Chen, it's your Aunt Pan who loves you. Qingqing doesn't treat you this way."
Fang Weiguo smiled.
“It hasn’t been like this since I was a kid, I’m used to it.”
Fang Qing picked up the chopsticks as she muttered.
Dirty residential buildings.
With a sofa and a dining table, there is almost no free space in the house, but it is filled with a warmth that no matter how large a mansion can be.
“Well, I’ve told him many times that he is older, not as good as before, but he refuses to accept old age.”
Pan Hui, who helped Fang Weiguo into the room, came back.
“Xiao Chen, are you okay?”
Jiang Chen shook his head.
Fang Weiguo was indeed drunk, but he felt okay. Maybe it was because he was young, or maybe the drink was good and didn't have much stamina.
“Drink something to sober up.”
Fang Qing handed over a glass of milk.
“Aunt Pan, are you visiting my parents?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“No, what’s wrong?”
“I went to my parents’ house today and saw someone giving them flowers.”
"Oh, it's Qingqing."
Jiang Chen looked at Fang Qing.
"I thought you wouldn't come back this year, so I went to see Uncle Jiang and the others for you. You still have a conscience."
Fang Qing said calmly.
Jiang Chen remained silent, drank a glass of milk, walked out of Fang's house, walked three steps, opened the door, and returned to the empty home.
Turn on the outdated electric water heater, take off your clothes, stand in front of the nozzle, raise your face, close your eyes, and let the hot water gush down.
