Two pots of water

After returning from the bathroom and squinting for another half an hour, Jiang Chu got up to get something to eat for himself, and went to work in the company.

Da Ben brought a big bag of steamed buns, stuffed with radish and beef, each one was as big as a fist, and he gave out two when he entered the door. , forcing him to eat four boxes of Baxi last night to make room for the buns.

"You mother-in-law is too affordable." Jiang Chu couldn't fit in, and he panicked when he smelled the steamed buns in the room. "Last month's braised pork is so big this month's steamed stuffed buns."

"You can also get this treatment when you find a wife." Da Ben sighed sweetly and burdenedly, said "Hey", he swung the swivel chair and kicked Jiang Chu, "How about you and that Guoguo? Is there a play?"

"What... ah." Jiang Chu was looking for documents, and he didn't realize it until he said a few words.

Chen Linguo.

"I think that girl is okay, she looks good and her body is not bad, she just got admitted to Baoli's unit, and her job is stable." Da Ben pointed at Jiang Chu's screen, "Give me a copy of this prototype. She is also tall, You wore flat shoes about 1.7 meters yesterday, right? Standing next to you is quite decent."

Jiang Chu plugged in a USB flash drive to copy the prototype for Da Ben, and said casually, "It's useless for you to be extravagant here, and someone has to have that meaning."

"Why are people not interested in you anymore? I am not interested in adding you to WeChat without saying a word yesterday? I think you are not interested." Da Ben kicked the floor and slid back to his desk, "I tell you, Chu'er, you also Don't rely on yourself to be a dog, just look down on this one every day and look down on that one every day. Now there is no shortage of girls of any kind. You just spend a few more years like this, just guarding your wild brother. Bar!"

When Da Ben mentioned WeChat, Jiang Chu suddenly remembered the two messages that Chen Linguo sent him and then retracted in the middle of the night last night. He smiled and said, "The wild brother is also very good, I don't even need to deal with cat shit."

"Fuck, why are you acting like a calf, oppressing us in the company, and oppressing others when you go home." After Da Ben finished talking, he reminded Jiang Chu seriously: "Seriously, talk to people. Chen Linguo have a good talk, what if it happens? Baoli can let me remind you."

Whether he succeeds or not, Jiang Chu has no interest.

I can't say I'm not interested at all, anyway, I'm not interested right now.

Chen Linguo looked like a really nice girl. After getting along for half a day yesterday, she was quite comfortable talking and doing things, but he had never been in contact with a girl specifically to find a partner. I felt it, it came down naturally.

But Daben and his wife were so caring, he was a little touched in spite of his helplessness.

He kept busy until almost eleven o'clock, Jiang Chu was smoked in the yard by someone who put a lot of radish farts on him, opened WeChat, and saw that Chen Linguo sent him another message after nine o'clock.

Chen Linguo: Good morning, I just remembered that I accidentally sent you the wrong message last night. I'm sorry, didn't I disturb your rest, did I?

Didn't bother you to send it.

Jiang Chu said something in his heart, and told her back: No, I fell asleep yesterday

Chen Linguo: That's good

Another kitten emoji.

Chen Linguo: Do ​​you raise the cats in your circle of friends?

Jiang Chu: Yes

Chen Linguo: So cute, what's its name?

Jiang Chu was amused when he saw this sentence. How cute is a cat that looks like Jay Chou and Shen Teng? This girl almost doesn't wear a draft.

There was a couple of chats about cats without saying a word, Jiang Chu just finished smoking a cigarette, and politely sent a sentence to Chen Linguo: Go busy, talk back

Chen Linguo replied "Mmmm", and quickly typed: My friend's Garfield has a baby, and I'm going to pick one up soon, so I'll ask you if there's anything I don't understand

It seems that Da Ben is right, Chen Linguo is indeed very interesting to him.

Jiang Chu flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can and replied "Yes".

When getting off work in the evening, Da Ben chatted with Fang Zi and the others in the group chat, and discussed with Jiang Chu: "Fang Zi said that he would go to that mountain to have a farmhouse during the holiday on November [-], and he would drive there for [-] minutes and spend two nights. I have a coupon, how about it?"

It is their tradition to find a place to play for two days during the holidays. They used to go wild at school. After graduation, they are busy with their own business. It is not easy to get together people to hang out together. As long as the time can cooperate every time, Jiang At first, I was happy to go there.

He counted the days and the latest orders, and nodded: "Sure, let's order."

"Come on." Da Ben snapped his fingers, "You take your brother with you, I haven't seen him before."

"I'll go back and ask." Jiang Chu said, "They don't know whether to make up lessons."

"He's in his third year of high school, right?" Da Ben asked.

"Two." Jiang Chu said.

"Eighteen in the second year of high school?" Da Ben counted the days, "Did you repeat the grade?"

"Who knows how his parents calculated it, maybe that kid's grades are poor, and he wants to make up for it for a year." After Jiang Chu heard what Tan Zui said yesterday, thinking about Tan Shuman is still quite annoying.

In the past, he didn't say he had a problem with Tan Shuman, but he didn't like it anyway.After knowing about her and Tan Zui's affairs, now I just think it's not easy for her.

Qin Zui has no objection to going out to play, but he has a monthly exam at the end of September, and he hasn't said exactly how the school will be closed on November.

"Almost, I guess I'll pass the [-]th right after the exam." Jiang Chu was lying on the sofa playing games, "How are your grades, can you keep up here?"

"Yeah." Tan Zui came out of the shower, cut a watermelon in half, sat at the dining table and dug to eat.

Jiang Chu also sat down with his mobile phone, and asked while eating the other half, "If you were in the previous school, would you be a sophomore or a senior now?"

"Three." Tan Zui said, typing quickly on the phone with his fingers.

"Ah." Jiang Chu responded, Tan Shuman really failed him.

He glanced at Tan Zui's name on the screen again, and it turned out to be Liang Xiaojia.

"Then those former classmates of yours aren't all seniors now?" Jiang Chu gouged out the sweetest bites in the middle of his watermelon and ate them. Seeing that Tan Zui kept sending messages, he stretched out his spoon to dig him out.

Qin Zui pushed the watermelon towards him.

"It's already in the third year of high school, you buddy doesn't study," Jiang Chu said casually, "Every day is either on the phone or on WeChat."

Tan Zui leaned on the chair, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Chu, without stopping his typing, and said, "Can't you?"

"Okay, I didn't say no." Jiang Chu also leaned back, raised one leg and stepped on the edge of the chair, and continued to eat watermelon, "I'm just curious, what are the two big boys talking about? You two have a chat at your age. What? Porn? Games? Girls?"

Qin Zui sent the last sentence, "click" to lock the screen of the phone, put it upside down on the table, and tilted his head slightly back to stare at Jiang Chu.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Chu said.

"Let's chat with you, you're boring." Tan Zui pulled back his watermelon, "Let's chat."

"Brain is sick." Jiang Chu smiled, tilted his head and spat out the watermelon seeds, and stood up to take a shower.

He could see that this kid was not willing to talk about that Liang Xiaojia with him.

Jiang Chu took his clothes and went into the bathroom, Tan Zui turned over his phone, and Liang Xiaojia sent him another series of messages.

Tan Zuo glanced around, frowned, and didn't reply to him.

After tidying up the table and watermelon rinds and going back to the room to do homework, Jiang Chu's phone buzzed and a message popped up.

Tan most subconsciously looked over, Chen Linguo, should be a woman, sent Jiang Chu a note, "Brother Chu".

Tan Zui raised one eyebrow.

Within two seconds, the phone buzzed again, it was still Chen Linguo, this time it was [picture].

Followed by a [expression].

Qin Zui stood by the table with two sets of folded watermelon rinds, staring at the phone screen and waiting for a while.

Until the screen turned off automatically, this Chen Linguo didn't send any more messages. He reached out and turned Jiang Chu's phone over, put it face down on the table, and went to throw out the trash.

The day before the National Day happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Liantian called Jiang Chu and asked if he would go to his place for a reunion.

Jiang Chu asked Tan Zui first, and Tan Zui probably didn't want to see Tan Shuman for the time being, saying that he was going to take an exam, so Jiang Chu went to his mother's place for a meal.

My mother already knew about Jiang Liantian throwing his stepson to Jiang Chu's place, and she was very dissatisfied with it.

"Your father is out of his mind, and that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp." She frowned and served Jiang Chu dumplings. The dumplings were still bought, and she didn't have time to make them herself. Let the son go to someone else's son's house. She doesn't care about anything together, just wait until your father kicks their legs and the mother and son share the money, right?"

"That's not what I said," Fang Zhou, my mother's second-married husband, set the table in the restaurant. "Maybe there is some difficulty, after all, the mother and son haven't seen each other for many years..."

"That's why you're talking nonsense." Mom interrupted him with a frown. "Sure enough, you men all have the same virtue. You only want to live comfortably. It's not your son who doesn't know how to feel bad."

Fang Zhou pushed his eyes, and smiled helplessly at Jiang Chu who was leaning against the kitchen door.

"Give me thirteen thousand a month, it's not bad." Jiang Chu also smiled, and went to help his mother's shoulders to let her go out, "I'll serve it, the dumplings will be torn when you scoop them back."

In front of Fang Zhou, he didn't say much, and when his mother sent him downstairs after dinner, he roughly told his mother about the situation between Tan Shuman and Tan Zui.

After my mother heard it, she didn't say anything along the way. When Jiang Chu arrived at the garage and got on the car, she piled up the large and small boxes of mooncakes in the car, and then snorted and said, "Speechless."

Jiang Chu couldn't help laughing. He leaned on the car window with one arm and looked at his mother, and said, "You talk more and more fashionable every day."

"Of course." Mom smiled, and tugged Jiang Chu's turned-up cuffs, "Okay, let's go back, slow down on the road. If the child wants to live, he can live, isn't he already in high school? He will pass the exam later. That’s how it goes after college.”

"Do you have enough money?" Mom said again, "If you don't have enough money, ask your dad for it!"

"I'm old, don't worry." Jiang Chu smiled and pinched his mother's shoulder.

"You know, too?" Mom immediately patted him on the arm again, "When will you get married, you, Da Ben got married last year, and you haven't got a girlfriend yet, so your dad will get you one The little brother led the house, ouch..."

Jiang Chu immediately slammed the car door: "You and my dad got married too early, so it's better to live separately now. If I meet a suitable one, I will definitely bring it for you to see. If it's alright, go up quickly, Mom."

Mom wanted to smoke him again, so Jiang Chu drove the car away in a flash.

It was just 06:30 when he came out from his mother's place, and Jiang Chu happened to pass by No. 27 Middle School, so he sent a message to Tan Zui, asking him if he finished the exam, and picked him up on the way home.

Just like last time, Tan Zui sent him a "back door".

The day before the holiday, there were a lot of students and cars on the road. When Jiang Chu arrived at the back door, he saw Qin Zui's figure from a distance, leaning on the lamppost, with his pocket in one hand and his phone in the other.

There was also a tall, thin, pretty girl standing next to him, probably a classmate in his class, talking to Tan Zui.

Jiang Chu said "Yo" in his heart, parked the car on the side of the road, and Chong Tanzui honked the horn.

The girl was startled, turned her head to look at the car, and asked Tan Zui, "Will you pick me up?"

"Yeah." Tan had no expression on his face, met Jiang Chu's eyes through the car window, put away the phone, opened the passenger door and was about to get in the car.

"Don't say goodbye to others." Jiang Chu asked with a smile, and put the mooncakes and pastries that his mother had piled up on the passenger seat back.

"Is this you...brother?" The girl didn't recognize her identity, she smiled brightly when Jiang Chu spoke for her, and greeted Jiang Chu, "Hi brother, I'm Qin Zui's friend, call me Lu Yao will do."

Jiang Chu almost blurted out, then call me Zhi Mali, and he realized in time that this is still a student, several years younger than himself, and his mouth looks like a hooligan, so he smiled and said, "I'm Tan Zui. elder brother."

What else did Lu Yao want to say, but Qin Zui threw all the remaining boxes on the co-pilot to the back row, got in the car, closed the door, and said, "Let's go."

This stinks.

When my mother saw Tan Zui, she had to worry about not being able to find a partner for him.

But this little girl named Lu Yao is also big-hearted, Tan Zui even closed the door in the passenger car, and she bent down through the window on Jiang Chu's side stupidly, and said goodbye to Tan Zui: "Then I'll call you back, don't you never call me back."

Jiang Chu kicked Tan Zui under the seat. Tan Zui seemed a little helpless and upset. He glanced at her and said impatiently, "The collar fell on the floor."

Lu Yao hurriedly covered her collar and stood up straight, then smiled at Jiang Chu embarrassedly, and said, "Thank you. Then I'll go first, brother bye!"

Jiang Chu drove the car out of Houmen Street, looked at Tan Zui out of the corner of his eyes, and teased him with a smile in his tone: "Yes, brother Xiao Zui, you are full of charm."

Qin glanced at him the most and didn't want to say anything.

"Did the little girl offend you? Say goodbye to you with a stinky face." The car stopped in front of the red light, Jiang Chu shot back and took a box of half-opened snacks from the back seat and threw it into Tan Zui's arms, "I still don't come back people news."

Liang Xiaojia returned quite frequently.

"It's not over?" Tan Zui took apart the snack, looked at it without interest, and wanted to stuff it back again.

"Give me one." Jiang Chu commanded him.

This is a box of mochi, which has not yet been divided into packages. Tan Zui just squeezed one through the greased paper to hand it over, when Jiang Chu's cell phone rang, and the red light turned green at the same time.

Jiang Chu held the steering wheel with one hand, took out his mobile phone to answer the call with the other hand, tilted his neck, and naturally bit the mochi into his mouth with Tan Zui's hand. He missed the bite, and knocked Tan Zui's fingertips with his teeth through the oil paper. .

Tan Zui stared at him, and took his hand back together with the oil paper.

His hand was bitten and he didn't say anything, Jiang Chu still felt his teeth clenched, and said "Who is that" to the phone with a "tsk".

When he heard the voice over there clearly, he didn't care about whether his teeth were gritting or not, and he froze for a while.

"Brother Chu, I'm Chen Linguo." Chen Linguo's voice was as gentle as when we met last time, smiling, "Sister Baoli said that we will go to the farmhouse together tomorrow, let me ask if you need to buy something to bring with you , are you free now?"
