Double Bracelets

In order to ensure safety—whether it was their own, or those of hospitalized patients and colleagues—the two left the hospital until dawn and went home to rest.Wang Chanyue was not in a good mood, so she asked Fu Yiheng to accompany her home to fall asleep.Fu Yiheng agreed, and the boatmen at the early morning ferry recognized them—after all, there were very few people on the ferry to the south bank so early in the morning, and Wang Chanyue was still treating the common people on the boat.

The boatman was also getting old, and if he said he could not serve the country and join the army, he would punting on the river for a day, and it didn't matter which day he was killed.Today the old man saw Wang Chanyue coming with another older woman on his arm, and after a closer look, he remembered that it was Miss Fu who occasionally appeared together, and seeing Wang Chanyue's sad face, he asked her what was wrong.Wang Chanyue shook her head and said it was all right, that made people feel that something was wrong.The old man then told her in Chongqing dialect, don’t take your worries to heart, and don’t lose confidence. In this day and age, live every day counts.

Wang Chanyue nodded and leaned on Fu Yiheng's shoulder.She thought that Fu Yiheng would look up at her favorite so-called tenacious ordinary people full of vitality, but she just looked at the river with a blank expression.Feeling his gaze, he turned around and put on a concerned expression, "What's wrong?"

Fu Yiheng's back was facing the morning sun in the east. The long curly hair that was permed a year ago had lost its perfect curvature and looked messy, with a decadent and tired beauty.

"fine."

Back home, after a little wash, Wang Chanyue, who was extremely tired, fell asleep.Fu Yiheng hugged her from behind, felt his eyelids twitch for a while, and fell asleep.It wasn't until noon that I woke up hungry, ready to get up and go downstairs to find something to eat.As soon as she let go, Wang Chanyue woke up before she left the bed. "You don't go."

Fu Yiheng rushed back with a good temper, "Are you awake?" Wang Chanyue opened her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up. "Don't go." Fu Yiheng just scratched her nose and said that I will go downstairs to get you something to eat.The wind also ran away.Wang Chanyue stretched out her arm in mid-air to hug her, staggered for a while, then fell down.

Ugh.

The two got up and had dinner. Wang Chanyue looked very tired—from time to time, tired for a day or two, but long-term burnout—putting her hands on the table and resting her chin on the table, she asked Fu Yiheng what she had planned for the afternoon, whether she was going to the club to write a manuscript or return to the office. She knows that she is very free, and she also knows whether these two things are her main tasks.

"It's nothing, I can spend time at home with you today." At this time, she looked like a slutty lover who had never been through before.In fact, Fu Yiheng newspaper office may or may not go today, she has already handed in the manuscript, and can be revised as she likes.She really wanted to accompany Wang Chanyue, and it was best for the two of them not to go anywhere. She was afraid that there would be danger, so she wanted Wang Chanyue to rest at home.Wait until Jiang Xize comes back at night and throw this shit to him, anyway,

"Yiheng." Wang Chanyue called her softly, "Huh?" She then leaned over. Anyway, there were only the two of them in the room, so they can be intimate in any way.

"Why have you never considered developing me?"

Fu Yiheng was stunned for a while.She didn't know where Wang Chanyue heard such a professional vocabulary, she was confused for a while, she didn't know how to answer, not to mention she didn't know why—yes why?I have never thought of developing Wang Chanyue, although she has never been very progressive or active, and has always hated all kinds of political views, but,

At least at this moment, Wang Chanyue is her pillow.In the past, he could have used other reasons to prevaricate, thinking that she was irrelevant, so don't get involved.It's not the case now, is it?Then he still stays at his pillow with a person whose political stance is unclear and his family's political background is extremely complicated. Is it because Wang Chanyue has never brought any danger to himself?What if?What if she is not careful?Of course it can't be intentional, but what if it's unintentional?

Why cut her off from the most important part of her world, never feeling dangerous or necessary?

Fu Yiheng couldn't answer, Wang Chanyue still looked at her with eyes that could be opened to the limit in a sleepy state, beautiful and tired eyes, the expression was gone due to lack of physical strength.

"I haven't thought about it." Fu Yiheng said, "Do you think about it?"

She didn't want to, she just wanted to test some answers.And Fu Yiheng threw the question back again, but she couldn't answer it either.She wasn't sure she could swim through this muddy water.Fu Yiheng stretched out his hands to hold her right hand, "Don't force yourself to do some things. We have nothing to do with these things."

is it?

Jiang Xijie came out of the downstairs room and went to the backyard to find Zhao Mama.Zhao Ma was instructing the Guo family to pack up the things that had just been delivered. Jiang Xijie stood aside with her arms folded. Zhao Ma glanced at her and said, "Miss Fu is here. Those two are upstairs." Jiang Xijie nodded, "Yes. It’s pretty good.” Zhao’s mother glanced at her again, “The things sent here are good. It’s time for you to take care of the money again.” Jiang Xijie shook her head, “It’s okay for me to take care of it. Everything is expensive.” "You don't care, let the second young lady rest and rest, right? She is not strong enough. She is busy at both ends." "Now..." She calculated, "There is not much medicine. But she can't do it if she keeps taking traditional Chinese medicine. Auntie too..." She thought for a while, "Oh, now, among other things, I'm pretty good at weighing gold."

Seeing that everything was done, Zhao Ma turned and went to the kitchen to look at the small stove for decocting medicine.Jiang Xijie followed, and the two of them waited silently for the medicine to boil and pour it into an earthenware bowl. Mama Zhao turned around and gave her a wooden tray left by the owner, and put a very mismatched porcelain spoon on it. . "Go." She went upstairs to feed Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu did not allow her two daughters-in-law to serve her. The eldest daughter-in-law wanted to take her place—this was her request—and the second daughter-in-law was ill all the time. Sick and busy with the funeral of her mother's family-it can only be the turn of the niece, even though she is not happy about it.She stubbornly believed that this should not be the case, she should get up and drink the medicine by herself.However, the result was that she was already suffering from the wind and cold, and the consequence of forcing herself to take care of herself again was that she would not be able to take care of herself and could only stay in bed.

The illness came like a mountain, and she didn't know why.But really turned into a useless old piece of shit, at least in her own eyes.

"You give me decoctions like this all day long. I take so much, but it's not good. Sigh." Xu got up from the bed. Jiang Xijie never came to see her in the master bedroom, and she didn't pay attention to the intricately carved big bed. You know, now I just feel that Xu's figure is getting thinner and smaller compared with this bed, "What do you say to be discouraged, you can pack your drink. You can make up for it. It's big, let's go to Songting {56} to play cards, Win her ten laps!" Xu took the medicine with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp, Jiang Xijie didn't even have time to persuade her to be careful, "Let me tell you, life and death are a matter of life. If you don't die, you just I can't be killed. My day is here, and I can't stop it. It's me, now I know, my day is still early! Let alone ten laps, twenty laps, I can beat her in 120 laps!"

Jiang Xijie laughed along with Mrs. Xu upon hearing this.Xu was overjoyed and took Jiang Xijie's hand, "You, you. Sigh. You don't know how much the old man loved you when you were young. I wondered at first that the old man didn't only love the eldest grandson, but also the youngest grandson. I like you the most, is it because you are the only daughter? I found out later, the four children, isn't it you who loves the most? Xi Yao is just like his father, he is wooden and can't express, the old man asked Also strict. As for Xi Ze, he has a lot of bad ideas on the surface, and he looks very clever. In fact, he is more reckless than his own father and brother, and even more incurable. Xi Jun is the master of his elder brother. What about now? Heh. If your father hadn't agreed before his death, I would have to fight him back myself. Only you, only you."

Mrs. Xu patted her hands, but her eyes seemed to be looking at the place where time disappeared in the distant past, "You are also stubborn and stubborn, but you have never been a piece of steel, you can float with the wind, and you will never Break it." Xu stretched out her hand to pat her niece's cheek, "It's hard for you to do so many things at such a young age. An extraordinary person can do extraordinary things. Miss Wang," she paused, Jiang Xijie's eyes I was also surprised, "Miss Wang is a good match for you. Don't tell me, when I was matchmaking for you, I didn't even think about marrying you. I don't think those boys are good enough for you. In the past few years Seeing your Miss Wang in front of me, I realized that there is no one in the world who is more worthy of you than her."

"Auntie..." "Hey, I didn't finish talking. I'll talk about it when Jiyue comes back. Ah, come on." Xu pulled out her paw and waved her hand to let Jiang Xijie go out first. She wants to read a book and sleep Nap.

It was the night king Jiyue who came back, Jiang Xijie told her about it, and the two went to serve the soup together after dinner. "Hey! Who told you to bring someone over to accompany me to drink medicine!" Xu is used to this, and Wang Jiyue is no stranger to it, knowing that she just likes to act like a baby, "Aunt Jiang," "What did you call me?" Wang Jiyue was heartbroken Are you going to change my mind?Jiang Xijie didn't know how to answer, but Xu smiled first, beckoning the two of them to sit down, "You two, oh..."

"At the beginning, I was somewhat aware of the matter between you two, but I was not sure, and it was not easy to ask. But when the battle broke out and the two families fled together, I was able to see through the little things between you two, ah. You can't hide it. Mine! Auntie’s eyes are very clear!” God knows why Xu, who is a decent Northeast girl, suddenly switched to a Shanghai accent, “I still think, well, why don’t you find a good man to marry? You two And I don’t have to worry about getting married. Later I found out that you are so well-matched, where in the world can I find a good husband for you? Of course not.”

"Although the matter between you two is inconsistent with etiquette and incest. But in this troubled world, it is enough to find someone to accompany you for a lifetime. Look at me, marry an old man who knows how to work, stubborn and stubborn Yes, the stubborn son who went to serve the country without being around every day, has been a husband and a child all his life. Those who think I am happy do not know my sufferings, and those who think I am tired do not know my enjoyment. Life is always Like a person who drinks water and knows how warm it is!"

"Jiyue, I also rely on the old to sell the old, so I'm your godmother," Xu pulled out a tie-dyed blue and white cloth bag from behind as if by magic, and opened it to reveal two silver bracelets of the Miao nationality that are very old at first glance. , "This is for you. This is for this little bastard." Divide it between two people, and wear it in the place where the jade bracelet was originally worn. "In the future, if you wear this bracelet, you will be a member of my Jiang family! If this little bastard dares Bully you! Find me to sue!"

After finishing speaking, like a drama that must be staged every day in the past, he glared at Jiang Xijie.

Wang Jiyue smiled, with a bit of bitterness in her smile. For some reason, the lateness meant little, but the acknowledgment that owed an explanation made her feel very moved.Let her assume the status of a real daughter-in-law, and make Xu Shi a serious godmother.What is the practical significance of this?

No.But she felt very warm.She leaned on Xu's knee, her nose was sore.

When autumn is the most beautiful, Mrs. Xu is with her grandchildren every day.Every day she tells stories to the children, and then listens to the stories told by the children. Every day, the children will tell their father and grandpa who came back late, and what stories grandma told today.When the leaves began to fall, Mrs. Xu called all the children to the room at night, saying that she would explain the funeral.

She smiled wearily and talked about how to engrave a spiritual place for herself after she died, how to arrange a simple but beautiful mourning hall, how to deal with all kinds of relics, and how to deal with those friends when they came—during the illness, she uncharacteristically thanked the guests completely— She didn't even forget to tease the eldest son, "You, your beard! Shave it off soon!" She took Zhao Ma's hand, Zhao Ma was very sad, but she still smiled and said to reassure his wife Go, she nodded, saying that you have worked hard for so many years.

She remembered that when she married Jiang Tonghe, when they were still admiring each other, she liked to hide in her boudoir and kept Jiang Tonghe, who was so talented, waiting for a long time on purpose.Leaning against her dead old man's arms at this moment, she murmured: "Come back to me later, later..."
