hope for redemption

Jiang Xi's cold came on fiercely this time. Although the fever subsided a little in the morning, it flared up again in the evening. Lin Wang wanted to take Jiang Xi to the hospital, but Jiang Xi refused. He was resting at home, taking medicine and covering himself with a quilt.

After resting at home for two or three days, Jiang Xi finally stopped having a fever again and again, and only had a slight cough. They were going to go back to school, but before going to school, the two of them had to go to the hospital to see Da Fei's father .

"Eh? No, why is there a drying rack missing?" Lin Wang wandered around the balcony with a bucket, looking for the missing drying rack.

Before, because there were not many clothes to dry, Lin Wang didn't notice that a drying rack was missing, but today the weather finally cleared, so Lin Wang wanted to wash his and Jiang Xi's sheets and quilts. At night, the quilt covered with sweat was covered with sweat, and it would probably stink if it was not washed.

The sheets and quilts for two people still need quite a lot of drying racks. According to Lin Wang's prediction in his heart, the drying racks on the balcony should be just enough, but when they were drying, they found that they were not enough. Lin Wang counted and one was missing. root.

This is strange, who would take this drying rack.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xi asked as he came over with another bucket of quilt covers that had just been shaken dry.

"A clothes hanger is missing." Lin Wang replied, "How could there be a clothes hanger missing?"

Apart from Lin Wang himself, the only people who could go up to the fourth floor were Jiang Xi and her mother-in-law, but they didn't even know how to hold a clothes hanger, so why did the clothes hanger disappear out of thin air?

"Eh...I took it apart..." Jiang Xi said standing aside.

"You dismantled it?!" Lin Wang asked in surprise, "Why did you dismantle it?"

Jiang Xi blinked in panic and said, "Isn't this Lin Lin blocking you downstairs that day? I was so anxious that I couldn't find the weapon, so... I dismantled it..."

Speaking of this, Lin Wang finally remembered, and he said, why did the iron rod that Jiang Xi threw to him that day look so familiar, it turned out to be his clothes drying rack.

"Tell me, can we find it if we go down now?" Lin Wang thought for a while and asked.

"...Probably not." Jiang Xi replied.

It's been less than half a month, and the two sticks were probably picked up by the trash collectors the next morning, so why wait until the two of them think about it before picking them up.

The main reason is that after that day, things came up one after another. Jiang Xina had time to pay attention to this matter, but now it was too late to notice after the turmoil subsided.

"Hmm..." Lin Wang stared at the two buckets of laundry for a while and said, "I'll go downstairs and get my mother-in-law's clothes hanger and use it. You can dry it first."

Today's weather is really good, the golden sun hangs so brightly in the sky without the cover of clouds, and the warm light spreads down directly, making the whole person warm.

Lin Wang's movements were quick, and within a few minutes he brought up a drying rack, and the two of them hung it up together, and stretched out the rest of the quilt cover and sheets to dry.

"Are we going there now?" Jiang Xi asked as he put the bucket back into the bathroom.

Lin Wang glanced at the time, it was not too early: "Well, let's go now."

"Okay." Jiang Xi nodded, took out a scarf from the bedroom and wrapped it around, put on his shoes and went out with Lin Wang.

As soon as the two of them went out, an empty car passed by, and they quickly stopped the car and went straight to the hospital. Jiang Xi looked at the fruit stand passing by outside the window and asked, "Should we buy something in the past? "

"Huh?" Lin Wang was replying to the message with his head down. Hearing Jiang Xi's question, he remembered that they really needed to buy something. It's not good to be empty-handed.

Lin Wang put away his mobile phone and said, "Let's play Backgammon later, and go shopping before we go."

"Um"

After they bought some nutritious products such as fruit and milk, they walked directly to the hospital. When they arrived, there were several policemen standing in front of Uncle Ma's bed asking questions, and there were also policemen making records beside him.

Lin Wang and Jiang Xihe frowned at the same time, and hurried in.

"Da Fei, Uncle Ma," Lin Wang greeted, put the things in his hand into the cabinet beside him, looked at the policemen and asked, "This is it?"

"Oh, we are members of the first branch of the county police station, and I am the team leader Wu Yu." A man with a team leader badge introduced himself.

Regarding this scene, Jiang Xi didn't panic at all. He put the things in his hands on the table and stood silently behind Lin Wang, watching the changes.

"Oh, I'm Lin Wang, Uncle Ma's nephew, what can I do for you?" Lin Wang asked very calmly.

"Well, it's like this..."

Before Wu Yu could finish speaking, Da Fei, who was sitting by the side, suddenly stood up and said, "Comrade policeman, that's all we know. We'll see."

Hearing what Da Fei said, Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, gestured to the recorder and said, "That's fine, then we have nothing to ask, take a good rest and recover soon."

"Hey, okay, okay," Uncle Ma, who was lying on the hospital bed, nodded several times in a row: "Thank you, comrade policeman, comrade Dafeisongsong policeman."

"Hey, no need." Wu Yu declined and led the people away.

"What's going on here?" The policeman also left, and Lin Wang didn't need to put on a show anymore, his expression of worry and anxiety was all over the place.

Da Fei closed the door, walked over and said, "Shao Juan has been arrested."

"Da Fei! She is your mother!" Uncle Ma slapped the hospital bed heavily and roared angrily.

The expression on Da Fei's face didn't change. He poured Uncle Ma a glass of water and continued, "The police came here to ask about her drug use, and see if they can catch her accomplice."

"Hmm..." Lin Wang nodded to show he understood, and asked after thinking for a while, "What did you say?"

Although Lin Lin and his group were all arrested, it is hard to guarantee that there are still a few fish that slipped through the net. Once they find out who leaked the news, Da Fei cannot afford to take revenge.

"We didn't say anything, we didn't know." Da Fei said.

"Well, it's good," Lin Wang replied, and then he turned to look at Uncle Ma and asked, "Uncle, are you feeling better?"

"It's not a big deal," Uncle Ma waved his hands with a smile, looked at Jiang Xi behind Lin Wang and asked, "Who is this handsome guy?"

Before Lin Wang could open his mouth to introduce, Da Fei stepped forward and said, "This is Jiang Xi, our classmate."

"Hello, Uncle." Jiang Xi stepped forward and smiled.

"Hey, hello, hello," Uncle Ma looked Jiang Xi up and down, turned his head and said to Da Fei: "This young man is really handsome!"

"Hehe, thank you uncle." Jiang Xi smiled generously.

"Come on, stop standing, sit down." Uncle Ma pointed to the chair next to him and said.

Lin Wang pulled Jiang Xi to sit on the chair, looked at Da Fei opposite and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"I still have to stay in the hospital for observation for a while," Da Fei replied.

"Oh! Actually, I'm fine! This doctor insists on hospitalizing me!" As soon as this matter was mentioned, Uncle Ma rubbed his hands anxiously: "How much will this hospital cost!"

"It's okay Uncle, you can live in peace," Lin Wang patted Uncle Ma's hand to comfort him.

Hearing what Lin Wang said, Uncle Ma was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, grabbed Lin Wang's hand and said, "Wang Wang, please don't..."

"You took good care of me before, so just treat it as my repayment." Lin Wang smiled at Uncle Ma, reassuring him.

"no..."

"Okay, brother, I'll trouble you then." Da Fei interrupted Uncle Ma and made a decision directly.

"it is good"

"No, you two..."

"Dad, your health is the most important thing." There was a kind of sadness in Da Fei's eyes: "Yuan is still so young."

Some things can be said to the end, there is no need to say too clearly.

Uncle Ma wanted to say something more, but he just opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words that came to his lips, lowered his head and sighed.

Everyone was silent, and no one spoke.

After a few minutes, Da Fei stood up suddenly, took out two hot water bottles from under the bed and said, "Brother, you can accompany me to fetch hot water. Jiang Xi, please accompany my father for a while."

Jiang Xi was suddenly called out like this, but he still hadn't reacted, so he nodded blankly.

Lin Wang rubbed Jiang Xi's head, took the kettle from Da Fei's hand, and walked out with him.

The other party had known each other since childhood, and he had nothing to worry about, so Da Fei started to ask directly: "What's the matter with that piece of land?"

"The old man left it," Lin Wang said, weighing the kettle in his hand.

"Old man?" Da Fei repeated in a low voice, and then thought of Lin Wang's father's situation, and changed the question: "What did you do about Lin Lin?"

"No, it was done by his enemies outside." Lin Wang replied.

Hearing Lin Wang's answer, Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes: "I heard from the police that even the leaders in the province were alarmed this time, and they won't be able to get out once they go in this time. "

Lin Wang also guessed what Da Fei said, after all, so many drugs were found, it would be strange if they could be released.

Speaking of this, Lin Wang suddenly remembered something and asked, "How did Aunt Juan get arrested?"

"I was arrested while taking drugs," Da Fei replied with a cold face: "After Lin Lin and the others were arrested, the police stepped up their search efforts and found several small dens along the line, where she used drugs. "

"Well... how did the police decide?"

"It's the second time. It was judged as a drug addiction, and it was sent directly for two years." Da Fei said while filling the hot water.

Lin Wang paused, then turned on the tap and asked, "Uncle Ma, what do you say?"

"What else can I say, what else can he do if he was forcibly sent in by the police." Da Fei lowered his eyelids and said, "I didn't say anything except asking me to visit her more."

Hearing what Da Fei said, Lin Wang felt inexplicably sad. Uncle Ma really loved Aunt Juan, but it was a pity that Aunt Juan was too proud to understand Uncle Ma's love for her.Even though Aunt Juan has done so many heartless things, Uncle Ma still loves her deeply. This unrequited love makes Lin Wang, a bystander, feel his heart throbbing when he looks at it.

"How much will it cost?" Lin Wang restrained his emotions and asked.

Da Fei reported the number to Lin Wang, paused and continued, "I'll give you the IOU later."

Lin Wang just wanted to say no, but he thought of Da Fei's temper and finally nodded.

After the two of them filled the hot water, they returned to the ward with the kettle.

"Brother, you and Jiang Xi..." Da Fei took a big step forward and stopped Lin Wang at the door of the ward, hesitant to speak.

"We are fine, don't worry." Lin Wang patted Da Fei's shoulder and said, walking forward sideways.

Da Fei pulled him back: "Have you thought about it later? He will definitely go out."

Lin Wang was stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Xi who was sitting by the bed chatting with Uncle Ma. Although the sun was dazzling in winter, it was a little softer. It slanted in through the window and splashed on Jiang Xi, like plating him A layer of gold edging made his whole body gleaming, so beautiful that it was unreal.

Lin Wang rolled his Adam's apple: "Then I will go out with him."

--

--

"Ah... I have to go to school again tomorrow..." Jiang Xi suddenly leaned on Lin Wang as he was walking, putting all his weight on him and allowing him to support him.

Lin Wang was also willing to do this, so he wrapped his arms around Jiang Xi's waist very smoothly and let him lean on his body: "Why, don't you want to go back to school after a few days of rest?"

"Yeah, who wants to get up before dawn every day?" Jiang Xi said, tilting her head.

Lin Wang smiled: "Just wait a few more days, the final exam will be soon."

"Hey, that's right," Jiang Xi thought for a while, the final exam was almost three or four days away, and they were about to go on winter vacation.

"Great, let's finish the exam quickly. I have felt the beauty of the holiday life these days and really don't want to go to school." Jiang Xi took out the door key from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lin Wang to open the door.

Lin Wang took it, put one arm around him and opened the door.

"Brother, can't there be a fingerprint lock on the gate? It's so annoying to carry the key every day." Jiang Xi pointed to the iron lock on the gate and asked.

"Are you bothered by just a key?" Lin Wang opened the door, walked in with Jiang Xi in his arms, and hooked the door with his foot.

Jiang Xi yawned lazily: "I wish I didn't have a key, and I hate carrying a key the most."

When Jiang Xi was young, there was often no one at home, and Jiang Xi was a forgetful person, who often lost his keys and sat in front of the house alone after school, waiting for the landlord to deliver the keys.

Over time, instead of developing meticulous habits, Jiang Xi hated the problem of carrying things. He doesn't like things that are easy to lose, such as keys and room cards.

"It can't be helped. Our own room can be equipped with a fingerprint lock, but the door can't be used. The second and third floors are rented out." Lin Wang pressed his fingerprint and opened the door: "What's for dinner tonight?"

Jiang Xi leaned against the wall to change his shoes, turned on the heater, thought for a while while taking off his scarf and said, "Let's have sour noodle soup."

"I do you?" Lin Wang asked, taking off his coat.

"I'll do it," Jiang Xi turned around and winked playfully at Lin Wang, "I'll show you my exclusive secret recipe."

"Okay," Lin Wang walked over and hugged Jiang Xi: "Then I'll wait for Chef Jiang to show me his skills."

"No problem, just wait and eat." Jiang Xi took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

The sour noodle soup is actually super simple, cut a few circles of shallots, crush a few cloves of garlic, add a spoonful of chili noodles and a spoonful of white sesame seeds, put them all in a bowl and pour hot oil to fry the aroma, then put light soy sauce and mature vinegar, The ratio of light soy sauce and mature vinegar is [-]/[-], and finally pour the noodle soup and you're done.

Jiang Xi's so-called exclusive secret recipe is to add a spoonful of honey before adding light soy sauce and vinegar, so that you can taste a touch of sweetness when you eat it.

In the end, Jiang Xi laid down two soft-boiled eggs.

Jiang Xi's ability to lay soft-boiled eggs is excellent, he practiced it by scrapping dozens of eggs in Australia.

First of all, your pan must be very hot on high heat, then put the oil in, and when the oil starts to splash, turn off the heat and beat the eggs in. At this time, the high temperature has not dissipated, and the bottom skin will be formed quickly, and the caramel color will appear on the edge. crispy edges.At this time, you can use a spatula to turn the egg over, and use the residual heat to solidify the surface layer without allowing the egg yolk to solidify. In this way, a perfect soft-boiled egg is ready.

Jiang Xi carefully placed the soft-boiled eggs on the surface of the sour soup, clapped his hands in satisfaction and shouted, "Brother! Let's eat!"

"Hey, here we come." Lin Wang came out from the master bedroom and brought noodles to the dining table.

Jiang Xi took out chili sauce from the closet and put it on the dining table: "I didn't put much chili, if it's not spicy enough, I can add it myself."

"Okay," Lin Wang pierced the soft-boiled egg with chopsticks and wrapped it so that each noodle was fully covered with egg liquid.

Different from Lin Wang's way of eating, Jiang Xi directly poked the soft-boiled egg, then lowered his head to suck the golden egg liquid, making a 'snoring, slurping' sound.

Lin Wang looked at Jiang Xi sucking up the egg liquid contentedly, and stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick the residue on his lips, with a look of gluttony, he just felt itchy and unbearable.

Let's talk after eating, let's talk after eating.

Lin Wang took a deep breath, added several spoonfuls of hot sauce to mix the noodles, and began to eat.

Jiang Xi didn't ask Lin Wang if the food was good, because he had already shown it with practical actions.

The two ate dinner quickly, Lin Wang very consciously picked up the bowl and went to the sink to wash the dishes, Jiang Xi walked into the bedroom while rubbing his stomach, and watched American TV dramas on the sofa with his mobile phone.

One of the American dramas that Jiang Xi has been chasing for the longest time is Game of Thrones and the other is American Horror Story. Game of Thrones hasn’t aired yet but American Horror has started. Now Jiang Xi has finished all the dramas. It’s time Started to read.

This season is about last year's US presidential election. Sister Banana is as beautiful as ever, but it's a pity that Aunt Lan didn't participate.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Wang asked, wiping the water off his hands with a tissue.

"I'm afraid," Jiang Xi stared at the screen without moving his eyes, and replied without raising his head.

Lin Wang had never heard of this name before, so he walked over and pulled a lazy sofa to sit next to Jiang Xi, put his arm on his shoulder and asked, "Huh? What is it?"

Jiang Xi handed the screen over and said, "American Horror Story, have you seen it?"

"No," Lin Wang took the phone from Jiang Xi: "Let's watch it together."

Jiang Xi took advantage of the situation and leaned in Lin Wang's arms to watch with him.

It's still a familiar style, but this season has a clown interspersed, Jiang Xi is very curious, when will Ryan make an independent series of clowns, instead of letting him intersperse as a supporting role in season after season.

Jiang Xi was obsessed with the plot and couldn't extricate himself, so he didn't feel Lin Wang's hand wandering over him at all. When he realized it, his pants had already been pulled open.
