The old house didn't rent again. After a long period of idleness, there was a musty smell in it.

Jiang He took time to go back to his old house to clean up, tidy up the kitchen, clean up the bedroom and open the window for two days.

Standing in the room, looking at the familiar room, she smiles. It was here before. Xu Qing tried to trick her into holding her hands and hugging her, and then living together. For this reason, she was hot in the sundries room in the summer.

And he thinks he's smart.

When Xu Qing and Xu Wenbin were busy with the transfer of ownership and helping their children find a kindergarten, they found that the old house still had to be used. Otherwise, it would be impractical to let Xu Qing replace Jiang He every day and let her go to cook, or to pick up their children to learn how to cook.

Kindergartens and primary schools are nearby, not far from the florist's shop. Xu Qing can stay in the shop at noon. Jiang He comes here to cook and wait for the children to go to primary school. After school at noon, he comes directly to the old house to have a meal and have a rest, or go to the shop to play. At night, he comes home to do his homework.

Originally, I had to come here to go to school. Compared with going around half the city for lunch every day, I went to school after lunch break and stayed directly in the old house here.

As the saying goes, when a man is old, a cat can become a fine. When he is old, he will get a lot of steady. He is as resourceful as he is. He is indifferent to everything, and he is alert to everything.

The two human cubs were able to run and jump when they were more than two years old. They were not as cute as before, and they didn't have to watch them all the time. They even had to keep away from them. After the tail was taken by Zhuang Zhuang and stuffed into their mouth once, the wax gourd hair exploded and they were far away from the little bastard.

The characters of Xu Jin and Xu Shi'an seem to be changing in turn. The originally dishonest Xu Jin becomes more and more stable as he grows up. On the contrary, Xu Shi'an becomes more and more restless. His curiosity is heavier than that of a cat. He has to put everything in his mouth.

"Look, mom will show you a big steamed bun with one bite!"

When Xu Qing came back from the transfer of ownership, Xu Jin was playing with a small car while Jiang He was sitting in front of Xu Shi'an with a big bun. He shook the bun in his hand and swallowed it with a whimper, which made Xu Shi'an open his eyes in surprise.

Steamed buns are steamed by themselves. They are not small caged buns that can be stuffed three times outside. They have to be the size of fists. Even Xu Qing has to admire them. He can't do it.

Xu Shian couldn't do it. After a moment of surprise, he prepared to eat his own steamed stuffed bun and lowered his head for a moment.

Eh? Where's my bun?

Looking at Jiang He's mouth, he realized that it was his own steamed bun. As soon as his mouth shriveled, he was ready to cry.

"You're teasing him again!"

Xu Qing is not angry to see Jiang He there to coax, this person idle what also can come out, the child tease cry, finish coax good.

There seems to be a guy who just does this to pass the time. When he has nothing to do, he just scolds his girlfriend and tears her. Then he coaxes her. The day goes by.

"My son, who am I not teasing?"

Jiang He didn't like it, and he said, "if you don't tease me, I'll grow up. It's not fun now."

"Then have another one to play with."

"I think you don't clean up."

Xu Jin takes the car to drive to the foot of Xu Qing, let him get out of the way.

"You're a girl. You should play with dolls."

"No, I want to play with the car!"

Xu Jin see Dad don't get out of the way, take the car hit his shoes, and then the car turned over.

The two kids are getting older and older, and the family is no longer as quiet and lively as before.

Wax gourd to them two can hide, nothing to follow Jiang He to the shop, when a mascot, Zhaocai drainage.

night.

Xu Qing took the two dolls seriously and told them to sleep in separate rooms.

"Are you brothers and sisters together or apart? Anyway, I can't sleep with mom and dad anymore. The bed is too small to hold you. "

The two kids were so confused that before they could react, Xu Qing agreed, "OK, that's a happy decision. If you live separately, who should sleep with us? Don't play tricks."

"I sleep with my mother." Xu Jin doesn't do it.

"I, I..."

Seeing his sister saying this, Xu Shi'an subconsciously wanted to say that he would sleep with his father, but he didn't want to. He was bored for a while, and said in a loud voice, "I sleep with my mother, too!"

"No, I'm the only one who can sleep with my mother. You should sleep by yourself."

"I don't want to sleep with my mother!"

"You have to sleep by yourself."

"I don't know!"

"Let's let mom decide who she wants to sleep with." Xu Qing pulls Jiang He, who has just taken a bath and is blowing his hair.

"You and Shi an sleep, Xu Jin sleep by himself, I sleep by myself."

Jianghe is crisp and neat.

“……”

“……”

Father, son and daughter were all confused.

"What's the matter?" Jiang He looks at Xu Qing.

"Of course, I don't have any problem... It's Shian, cough, Shian. Do you want to sleep with dad? Dad will snore at night, will howl ~ learn to wolf, will... Ah

Xu Qing stood up and touched his waist, and suddenly felt that it was really wonderful.

"Shian, let's go to bed."

Xu Shi'an turns back three times in one step, and is taken back to the room by Xu Qing to close the door. A big one and a small one go to the second bedroom to have a rest. Jiang He helps Xu Jin make up the bedroom quilt, watch her lie down, close her eyes, close the door, come out of the living room, and continue to sit in front of the computer and surf the Internet.

Late at night, she turned off the computer. As soon as she looked back, Xu Jin stood at the door of the room and peeped at her.

"Why don't you sleep?"

"I want to sleep with my mother."

"Well..."

Looking at his daughter's small face, Jiang He's heart is soft. He hugs Xu Jin and takes her to turn off the light in the living room and go back to the bedroom.

……

At dawn, Jiang He got up, made breakfast for the four members of the family, knocked on the door and called out the father and son in the room. Then he took the wax gourd downstairs and went to the florist to open the door.

A few of them are left at home.

At noon, Xu Qing takes her child to Zhou Suzhi. She wants to order her own takeout. Xu Qing can't say enough about cooking, and Jiang He is happy to change his taste.

A carrot and diced vegetables, with ribs and potatoes, only 20 pieces of red envelope, looks very good.

Jiang He, who was ready to eat, put a chopstick into his mouth, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Didn't Xu Qing bring you dinner today?" Gong Ping is still so young and beautiful in her white casual clothes today.

I don't know why, in the past two years, her dress has become more and more simple, and the black and red skirts she used to like appear less and less frequently. On the contrary, clean sportswear often appears.

Maybe I'm old, so I look young.

"The familiar taste is the same as my family's. It's terrible."

Jiang He put down his cell phone and said casually, "I've taken my child to grandma."

"The wax gourd is so good." Gong Ping holds the wax gourd. "It seems that she is very old, isn't it?"

Wax gourd is not dislike her now. She has no disgusting perfume and other flavors on her body. The scent of the clean laundry detergent is almost the same as that of Jiang she, and she does not struggle to settle down and squirm her eyes and make a pleasant enjoyment.

"It's said on the Internet that cats can live to be seventeen or eighteen years old. It's probably equivalent to people in their forties, just over half of them."

The cat has been raised for a long time, just like the family, it can even understand human nature and understand what it says.

Occasionally, I would lie there and not listen to others. It's not that I didn't understand, it's that I was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"How about I open a branch? Sometimes I envy you very much, and I also want to build a small shop, raise a cat, and wait for people to come to me every day. "

"Well, study hard with me. When the time comes, it's OK for you to quit here and open it by yourself, or we'll give you money to continue to open it together." Without thinking, Jiang He said, "you can also move the zither into the store. The flowers and music match well."

"But it's hard to think about it." Gong Ping holds Jiang He's hand to have a look. The hand that takes care of flowers and plants for a long time is not the way she imagined that her fingers don't touch Yang Chunshui.

"It's not hard when it's really done."

Jiang He has some helplessness to his best friend, "don't think about opening a shop, your boyfriend?"

"Don't worry. No matter how slow you go, you haven't met the right one."

"My family, Xu Jin, is almost three years old and going to kindergarten."

"Ah... What's the matter? For example, Song Hui is going to go to primary school over there... Each has his own life. I'm in a hurry. I'm not optimistic. I'm in a hurry to get married, and I have to leave after that. You see, I have a friend who is one year younger than me and has been divorced twice up to now."

I don't know if it's like this when I'm older. My thoughts change day by day. Last week, I was in a hurry to marry myself out. Today, I'm not in a hurry.

"How can you open a small shop with your children in peace of mind, as if nothing is urgent? I think Song Hui is going to menopause for her children. " Gong Ping is very puzzled about how Jiang He keeps his life.

I can't say the feeling, anyway, since I met her, she has always been in a state of no hurry. She used to fish, go shopping, skateboard, now raise flowers, tease cats and take care of children. She has never changed. She has never seen her worry.

The better the development of the city, the faster the pace of life. Now it's no more than a few years ago. There are still about ten yuan for takeout. You can eat a full breakfast for only three or four yuan. Now it can't go back to the beginning.

"What's the point?" Jiang He asked.

"Is there no trouble?"

"Originally there was, but later it was gone. I doubt that Xu Qing was engaged in MLM before."

Jiang He fiddled with the branches of flowers. Seeing that someone was staying outside, he stopped talking and went to the door to say hello and asked if he needed anything.

The other party just casually looked, politely nodded, looked for a moment and then left.

Seeing that people were leaving, Jiang He turned back and said, "what's bothering you? You just need to find him, and he will be happy for you.

"... you've got the treasure."

Gong Ping feels the soft skin of wax gourd and smiles. It seems that there is something wrong with this. A woman like Jiang He always thinks that Xu Qing has found the treasure.

……

Xu Qing is being nagged by Zhou Suzhi.

"I heard Shian say that you two will fight. Pay attention. You are so grown-ups. Don't let the children see everything. They are not young. They know something..."

“??!”

"Mom, don't think too much. We did it... We did it." Xu Qing can't help but interrupt. He misunderstands the tone and wants to take the two children home.

"Really?"

"I'll do it. I'll kill you."

"Bullshit, anyway, you pay attention to me. I will not break your legs if you take them two. I will let you and the king... Prince go to the wheelchair together."

Zhou Suzhi couldn't remember Prince Jun's name for a moment, but just remembered his nickname. He was young and in a wheelchair, so he was naturally regarded as a negative textbook.

"I'm old enough to be a father. I'm old enough to let my children see... Where's Jiang He? Jiang He, come here and I'll talk about her! " Zhou Suzhi is still whispering. The two children are so young that they don't work.

"No, don't, mom. We really fight. We have swords."

Xu Qing digs his ears. If Jiang He comes here to be read, whether he is angry or angry, he will have to fight again.

Xu Wenbin wears glasses and accompanies Xu Jin to read the comic book. Shi an sits on the ground and plays with his little chirp. Zhou Suzhi just stares at Xu Qing and ends the conversation. He goes to stop the unfortunate child from playing around.

"Watch out for him peeing all over you."

Xu Qingdao.

"What happened to my grandson peeing all over me?"

"... not much."

Good guy, the old lady is possessed. The son picked it up, and the grandson and granddaughter are the ones.

……

Gong Ping came out of the florist's shop with a bunch of purple roses and rotated them between her fingers.

Across the road, walking in the street, she looked up at the sky, blue sky, misty clouds.

A person, relaxed, happy.

Walking around a few corners, back to the residential area, Zhao Shuzheng is holding a cigarette at the gate. His white sideburns show that he should retire, but he still sits here to earn money. If he is tired, he will not be tired. He has already been used to it. For him, sitting here is probably not at work, but a part of his life.

In him, Gong Ping sees Jiang He's shadow... Or Xu Qing's shadow. Jiang He is influenced by Xu Qing, and Xu Qing has a good relationship with him.

I still remember the way Xu Qing sat at the gate with the old man.

Gong Ping went to the door and lived here for several years. She and uncle Zhao had already known each other and nodded to each other.

She slowed down and took a closer look at Uncle Zhao. The old man's face was full of relaxation and contentment, as if nothing could affect him. Sitting at the door was his paradise. There was no such thing as attendance dress in the new community, nor mandatory greeting. However, he did his duty all the time, and almost never left late or early, When you meet a stranger who comes alone, you will ask clearly.

"Most people can't expect to live a stable life for decades without big ups and downs, with happy families, healthy parents and harmonious children. What else can they think of?"

This is what uncle Zhao said to Xu Qing, pointing to the building in the community behind him. Xu Qing told Jiang He. Now, she hears it from Jiang He.

Gong Ping looks at the unit building in the distance, and then looks at the old man who is leaning on the chair enjoying tobacco. She tilts her head, and rose turns half a circle at her fingertips.

"Uncle, here is a flower for you."

"Well?"

Uncle Zhao took a puff of smoke from his nostrils and looked up in surprise.

Gong Ping smiles and turns around.

Qingli's figure went away, and she stood on tiptoe with her hands on her back. It looked like she was dancing.

Now it's healthy and good. Half happiness is enough. Why do you want so much.

"This wench..." Zhao Shu picked up the flower and gave a smile, and later brought it back to the old woman.
