hope for redemption

As soon as Jiang Xi returned to the rented room, he took a shower immediately. Three o'clock in the afternoon was the hottest time of the day, and he sweated a lot after cycling with Lin Wang.

After drying her hair, Jiang Xi took a mask out of the bamboo basket and applied it on her face, added a few ice cubes to the cup, filled it with water, and took the cup into the master bedroom.

The air conditioner was in operation and kept sending cold air into the room. Jiang Xi didn't even dry his hair. Instead, he took a big gulp of ice water to suppress the hot air in his body. He pulled out the charger and threw himself into the soft air with the phone Big bed.

Opened QQ and agreed to the friend application of the literary and art committee member. After scrolling down, they were all friend applications from a group of people who didn't know each other and didn't make notes. Jiang Xi ignored them all.Glancing at the blocked class group, the students in the class were chatting about the monthly exam, Jiang Xi scrolled up, either answered the answer or complained that the monthly exam was too difficult, Jiang Xi was not very interested in these , looked at it casually, exited and opened the WeChat interface, the WeChat interface was very quiet, and the last chat interface was still stuck on the transfer to Lin Wang a few days ago.

There are a total of four people on my WeChat, so I clicked on the circle of friends, refreshed it, and saw a circle of friends of my mother.A photo of a sumptuous meal, with the words: My child has worked hard on the monthly exam, so I will cook for my child to replenish her body.

To be honest, Jiang Xi didn't feel much when he saw this circle of friends. Anyway, he was already very disappointed. How do you say it?There is nothing greater than death, which is the best description of Jiang Xi's mood at this time.

Jiang Xi turned off the phone, threw the phone on the bed casually, lifted off the mask, and while holding the used mask, circling on the face to promote the skin to absorb the remaining essence.Throw the mask into the trash can, go into the bathroom to wash off the remaining essence on the face, then take a face towel to wipe off the water on the face, pat a little toner on the face at will, and then go into the main room Lie down and bury yourself in the soft big bed.

Jiang Xi has a special sense of dependence on the soft bed. No matter what happens, even if the sky is falling, as long as she lies on the soft bed, Jiang Xi can quickly calm down and have a good sleep. Quickly pack up your mood and start a new day.

The head can be broken and blood can flow, and the big bed must be soft.

Jiang Xi didn't know when he fell asleep, anyway, he was finally woken up by Lin Wang's knock on the door.Jiang Xi impatiently grabbed the pillow, covered his head, and pressed the edge of the pillow to his ears with both hands, trying to isolate Lin Wang's voice.

But this move was obviously useless. Lin Wang's knock on the door still came to his ears continuously. Jiang Xi threw the pillow away irritably and struggled to get up from the bed without opening his eyes. Lin Wang opened the door.

"Why?" Jiang Xi opened the door, but still did not open his eyes, and asked angrily.

"I..." Lin Wang's smile was stuck on his face. Without any mental preparation, Lin Wang saw the scene of Jiang Xi's bathrobe with the neckline open. Although Jiang Xi's bones were slender, but her figure was It doesn't look like a chicken, but the muscles on the body are thin, the exquisite collarbone, the pink chest, the shapely abdomen, and the indistinguishable face make up the picture, which doesn't give Lin Wang any buffer time. He rushed directly into the line of sight without saying hello.

Lin Wang felt the energy and blood all over his body rushing down like a rainbow, and soon he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, which made him lose his mind.

"What are you doing!" Seeing Lin Wang's silence, Jiang Xi half-closed his eyes and opened his eyes, and there was a hint of complaint and impatience in his tone.

Lin Wang managed to pull back a bit of reason, suppressed the boiling desire in his heart, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Clean up, let's eat right away."

It was only then that Jiang Xi realized that he promised his mother-in-law to have dinner together this afternoon, and immediately woke up, opened his eyes and said in a panic, "Wait for me in the living room, I'll change my clothes."

Then he hurriedly ran to the master bedroom, closed the door, chose a suit of clothes at random, put them on in a hurry, took a pair of sandals from the shoe rack, and said to Lin Wang while scratching his hair, "Okay." , let's go."

When the two went downstairs together, Lin Wang led Jiang Xi into the small courtyard, only then did Jiang Xi realize that not only the three of them were having dinner today, but there were three other people sitting in the courtyard.One of them is his class teacher - Zhang Mingnan.

Seeing Lao Zhang was so shocking that Jiang Xi didn't turn his head around for a moment, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that Lao Zhang was Lin Wang's uncle, wasn't he the mother-in-law's son.Jiang Xi, who came back to his senses, immediately put on his signature smile and said hello: "Mr. Zhang!"

"Huh? Jiang Xi! You're here too?" Lao Zhang looked over with his wine glass, saw Jiang Xi and asked with a smile.

"Well, yes." Jiang Xi replied.

"Xixi, you and Wangwang sit here." The mother-in-law put the dishes on the table, wiped her hands on the apron, pointed to the place and looked at them and said with a smile.

"Let's go," Lin Wang touched Jiang Xi's shoulder, and led them to sit on the seat.

The dishes on the table are very rich, and the meat and vegetables are evenly matched, but what makes Jiang Xi most happy is the pickled fish on the table. The pickled fish can be said to be Jiang Xi's favorite dish, not one of them.

The thornless and tender fish fillets are paired with crispy and refreshing sauerkraut. The double taste bursts on the tip of the tongue, stimulating the taste buds and hooking the cravings.Even the golden orange soup with rice is a delicacy.

At this moment, Jiang Xi's gluttons have been hooked up, and his eyes are staring at the sauerkraut fish on the table.

"Is this the new tenant?" At this moment, a strong man in a black vest with tattoos on his arms asked while holding a glass of wine.

"Yes, it's called Jiang Xi," Lin Wang took two plastic water glasses, gave one to Jiang Xi and said, "This is my mother-in-law's son, you can call him Uncle Yun. What do you want to drink?"

Jiang Xi took the plastic cup, said hello to Uncle Yun across the table, then looked at Lin Wang and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Beer and liquor." Lin Wang said, "Can I drink?"

"A little bit." Jiang Xi gestured with his thumb and index finger.

Lin Wang saw that Jiang Xi's gestures were not enough to fit his own teeth, so he smiled lightly and said, "You'd better drink water."

Hearing what Lin Wang said, Jiang Xi felt despised, but when he thought about his drinking capacity, he shut up resentfully and hummed in a muffled voice.

"There are still a few bottles of pineapple beer in the refrigerator. Give them to the children. The wine is just like a drink, not intoxicating." Uncle Yun reminded with a sip of liquor.

Lin Wang looked at Jiang Xi and asked with his eyes, do you want to drink?

Jiang Xi looked at the banter in Lin Wang's eyes, and the desire to win suddenly rose in his heart. He pressed the tip of his tongue against his molars, and arrogantly raised his chin: "Drink."

Lin Wang looked at the child who was a little furious from the shock, and held back a smile to get him two bottles of pineapple beer.

"Okay, it's time to serve dinner!" The mother-in-law brought the last dish to the table: "Yunyun Rice!"

Uncle Yun put down the wine glass in his hand, said something and walked towards the kitchen.

"Jiang Xi, are you getting used to the monthly exam?" Lao Zhang asked with a smile while chewing peanuts.

Jiang Xi rubbed the seam of his trousers nervously, and replied with a smile: "I'm still getting used to it."

"Just get used to it. I heard from Jiang Sisi that you do the main dance in sports?" Lao Zhang asked, "Are you training together on National Day?"

"Yes, the specific time has not been arranged yet." Jiang Xi replied.

At this time, Lin Wang came back with a beer and put it on the table: "It's already a holiday, so don't ask about the school, what does Teacher Cheng drink?"

It was only then that Jiang Xi noticed that there was a man with deep eyebrows, wearing a white shirt and tie sitting next to Lao Zhang. Wei feeling.

"Bring a few bottles of cold beer." The man took the white wine glass from Old Zhang's hand: "I'll drink it with your uncle."

Lao Zhang's smile stuck on his face immediately, just as he was about to say something, he turned around and saw the man's expressionless face, the questioning momentum disappeared immediately, and he smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, drink together, drink together."

"Okay," Lin Wang replied winkingly at Lao Zhang, then bent down and took out bottles of beer from the foam box at his feet and piled them on the carousel.

Jiang Xi is a person who is very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing this, he knew it in his heart, and he knew the status of the two of them in the family.Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang would have today, and opened a pineapple beer with a smile on his face.

"Jiang Xi is the physics teacher of our class, Cheng Chuan, and the head teacher of Class 13." Lin Wang introduced to Jiang Xi.

Holding the cold tin can of pineapple beer, Jiang Xi smiled at Cheng Chuan and said hello politely.

Cheng Chuan watched Lao Zhang open the expression on Beer's face, and then he eased a little, and said to Jiang Xi with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Well, this is outside the school, so don't be so restrained."

"Then you two, don't put on airs like a teacher." At this moment, Uncle Yun came over dragging a plate, and said while putting the rice on the plate bowl by bowl, "Jiang Xi? Is it Jiang Xi?" Right? Don’t be afraid of them, they won’t be able to control you after school.”

Hearing what Uncle Yun said, Lao Zhang kicked him from below and cursed with a smile, "Fuck you!"

"Old Zhang! Why are you drinking beer?! Where's the promised baijiu?!" Uncle Yun caught a glimpse of the beer can in Lao Zhang's hand, and shouted while holding the iron plate in his hand.

"You have to drink! You only know how to drink all day long!" At this time, the mother-in-law took off her apron and kicked Uncle Yun's ass to teach: "You don't need to drink now if you call me any more!"

Uncle Yun's snarky arrogance disappeared immediately, and he returned to his seat resentfully.Jiang Xi took the meal from Lin Wang, and her mother-in-law also sat down.

"Okay, everyone is ready and the food is ready, let's all eat." The mother-in-law greeted everyone to eat with her eyebrows curved.

At this time, the people on the dining table started to move their chopsticks. Jiang Xi licked his lips, and immediately put his chopsticks into the sauerkraut fish, and caught a piece of tender and smooth fish fillet. context.Picked up another chopstick of pickled cabbage, wrapped the pickled cabbage with fish fillets, and put it in his mouth, Jiang Xi almost swallowed the delicious food with his tongue.

"Xixi, are the dishes still appetizing?" The mother-in-law asked Jiang Xi, holding a slice of fish with chopsticks.

Jiang Xi hurriedly held the bowl with her hand to catch the fish fillets her mother-in-law had picked up, and said with a smile, "It's very appetizing. The dishes made by my mother-in-law are delicious."

"That's good, eat more vegetables, there is still in the rice pot, eat more, you are too thin." The mother-in-law smiled and said: "If you have any problems in school, you can ask Wangwang and Xiaonan, don't be afraid of trouble. "

Jiang Xi quickly nodded in agreement.

"Oh, mother-in-law, you have a good seven meals (eat), we all know." Lin Wang added a small glass of white wine to her mother-in-law and said, "You can only (can only) drink so much today."

The mother-in-law glanced at the amount of white wine in the glass, picked up the wine glass with her hands in disbelief and looked at it, and made sure she was right, then frowned slightly, and said with some grievances: "Got it."

"Xiao Nan, I'm listening to Wang Wanggang, you two are going to travel on vacation?" The mother-in-law asked with a satisfied face, licking the rim of her cup a little.

"Well, we plan to go to Chengdu for a few days." Old Zhang replied.

"Chengdu?" Uncle Yun was a little surprised when he heard it: "You guys only have a few days off in total, why go so far?"

"It's mainly to participate in the electronic music festival, not to play anything else, and it won't be long." Lao Zhang explained.

"Could it be an electronic music festival?" The mother-in-law asked curiously.

"It's just a group of people who play music and sing together," Uncle Yun said with a smile, "What kind of electronic music festival?"

Hearing Uncle Yun's question, Lao Zhang opened his mouth and found that he couldn't remember the name of that electronic syllable.Turning his head to look at Cheng Chuan, Cheng Chuan received Lao Zhang's gaze, and reached out to order Lao Zhang's bowl to signal him to eat the green vegetables he picked up for him: "Lime Electric Music Festival."

"Oh, it's that electronic music festival you always watch?" Uncle Yun looked suddenly enlightened, and "tsk tsk" jokingly at Lao Zhang several times: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

The mother-in-law glanced at Uncle Yun, who was holding a glass of wine and watching the show, and told Lao Zhang: "Check the weather before you go, and bring the clothes you should bring. Eat enough before getting on the bus, don't buy things in the car." When you arrive, give me a call to report that you are safe, do you know?"

Lao Zhang swallowed the green vegetables with a look of death, and took a sip of beer: "Oh, I know."

Seeing his perfunctory look, the mother-in-law was a little displeased, and wanted to continue telling him.Cheng Chuan quickly said, "Godmother, I will be ready."

"Oh, I know you are careful, but I can't always ask you to prepare alone." The mother-in-law patted the table anxiously when she heard Cheng Chuan say this: "Xiao Nan, you are such a big loser, you Can't always..."

"Mother-in-law, the fungus is a little salty. Did you put less salt?" Lin Wang suddenly interjected, squeezed Jiang Xi's hand under the table and signaled with his eyes: "Jiang Xi, what do you think?"

Jiang Xi was gnawing on the stewed chicken feet seriously, but was taken aback by the sudden sensation in his hands, saw Lin Wang winking at him, and subconsciously nodded accordingly.

"Oh, is that so?" The mother-in-law's attention was immediately diverted, she quickly stood up, and took away the cold fungus on the table: "Then I'll add some salt, you guys eat first."

When the mother-in-law left, Lao Zhang raised the beer bottle to Lin Wang as a gesture of thanks.Lin Wang also raised the beer bottle to Lao Zhang, indicating that you are welcome.

At this moment, the mobile phones of Lao Zhang and Cheng Chuan suddenly rang, and Lao Zhang took out his mobile phone to read the news while eating.I don't know what I saw, Lao Zhang's mouth opened into an O shape, and the movement of holding the chopsticks in his hand stopped.

After a while, he managed to slow down, put down his chopsticks hastily, and carefully held the phone with both hands like treasures, staring at the screen of the phone without blinking, as if he wanted to poke a hole out of the phone.

Cheng Chuan was not in a hurry to look at his mobile phone, and only after drinking a bottle of beer did he notice Lao Zhang's abnormality. He moved a little closer to Lao Zhang, and asked in a low voice, "Baby, what's wrong?"

Lao Zhang pushed Cheng Chuan's face away with his hands, and shouted excitedly at Jiang Xi: "Jiang Xi, do you know your grades? First in the whole grade! First in the whole grade! Total score 669!"

"Mode? Xixi is the first in the whole grade?" The mother-in-law ran out of the kitchen excitedly with the dishes, put the dishes on the table casually, wiped her hands on her clothes, and asked hurriedly: "Where? Let me see?"

"Hey, look at the grade book, the first one!" Lao Zhang pulled the screen and showed it to his mother-in-law.

Hearing this news, Lin Wang was also taken aback, and then he recovered with an uncontrollable smile on his face, turned around and put his arms around Jiang Xi's shoulders, pressed him into his arms, and laughed heartily. Said: "It's awesome, kid Jiang Xi."

Beside Jiang Xi's right ear was Lin Wang's magnetic and joyful laughter, and next to his left ear was the sound of Lin Wang's chest beating vigorously.The originally calm mood was also tainted with a smile, and he unconsciously bent his eyebrows and eyes.

"Oh, our Xixi is so good," the mother-in-law said with a smile while clapping her hands happily after reading the grade book, "I'm going to make a bowl of sugar water and eggs for Xixi."

After speaking, he rushed into the kitchen in a hurry.

"Come on, Lao Zhang show me the grade book." Lin Wang said.

Lao Zhang handed the phone to Lin Wang, and excitedly pulled Cheng Chuan and Uncle Yun to ask them to have a drink with him.

Jiang Xi struggled out of Lin Wang's arms with a waste of strength, tidied his hair a little and then looked at the grade book with him.

Jiang Xi's math and English are both full marks, but Chinese is a little bit worse, only 110 points.Politics, history and geography add up to a total of 269, of which history is the worst, with only 81 points.

Jiang Xi felt a little headache when he saw the Chinese and history scores, but this score was also within Jiang Xi's expectations, and Jiang Xi himself knew where the points were deducted

Chinese ancient prose reading questions, historical ancient prose material questions.

Completely blind.

"Touch one?" Lin Wang returned the phone to Lao Zhang, shook the beer in Jiang Xi's hand and asked with raised eyebrows.

Without hesitation, Jiang Xi picked up the pineapple beer on the table and touched it with Lin Wang. The two iron beer cans collided in the air, making a crisp "ding" sound.

The taste of pineapple beer is not as bitter as other beers. It has a sweet and sour taste like pineapple juice in the mouth, and the aftertaste is the taste of beer with added sugar.

"Come on, Xixi eat this bowl of sugar water with eggs." The mother-in-law put a bowl of steaming sugar water with eggs in front of Jiang Xi with a smile: "The blessing of eating sugar water with eggs will last if you pass the No. 1 test." .”

The sweet smell of sugar water and eggs penetrated into Jiang Xi's nose wrapped in hot air, making the tip of Jiang Xi's nose a little sour.Jiang Xi blinked quickly, suppressed the tears back, gritted his teeth and swallowed the uncontrollable rolling emotion in his throat, showed a smile to his mother-in-law, lowered his head, mixed the sugar water eggs in the mixing bowl, scooped a Spoon of brown sugar water, blow off the heat and take a sip.

At the entrance of the dark red liquid, there is first the sweetness of sugar cane, then the strong caramel flavor, and finally the aroma of lard.The taste is smooth, and one sip of it feels warm all over the body, and the pores of the whole body are comfortably opened.

The sweet taste not only crossed the tip of the tongue, but also flowed into the heart.

"It's delicious." Jiang Xi sniffed and said to her mother-in-law with a smile.

"It must be delicious," Uncle Yun slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "It's made with old brown sugar and homemade lard. Mom, I want a bowl too."

"Go away (get away), did you get the first place in the exam?" The mother-in-law gave Uncle Yun an angry look, then pointed to the eggs in the bowl and said to Jiang Xi with a smile: "Xixi, eat some Eggs, my old hen lays eggs."

"Okay." Jiang Xi lowered his head and took another bite of the soft-boiled egg.

After drinking a bowl of sugar water, I felt refreshed, as if I had just taken a bath, and all the fatigue and anxiety disappeared.

"Come on, let's touch one together, congratulations to Jiang Xi for winning the crown!" Lao Zhang was holding a beer can, his cheeks were flushed, and he stood up and shouted a little pretentiously.

Not to be outdone, Uncle Yun stood up and shouted: "Come on! Let's go!"

All the people at the table stood up, those who served beer served beer, and those who served baijiu served baijiu.There are happy smiles on their faces.

"1, 2, 3, go one!"

With Uncle Yun's yell, everyone's hands holding wine gathered in the center of the dining table, and the wine glasses and jars collided with each other, creating the most perfect movement in late autumn.
