Cannon Fodder's Rebirth

On the weekend, Zhong Yifan came to Jiang's house for the third time this week, delivering Chinese medicine on Monday, Chinese medicine on Wednesday, and love - Zhong Yifan's favorite on Friday.

"Help me carry the computer bag, I'll just hold the watermelon." After locking the car, Zhong Yifan opened the trunk to get the watermelon by himself. Needless to say, he lived in Jiang's house again this weekend.

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!" Jiang Xi came back once after the school was unsealed last week, and the furniture factory where Jiang's father and mother worked had just been unsealed. The three of them hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and they got together again. I found out that my parents are still fat.Jiang Ma explained that the new cooks in the cafeteria are also from the Northeast, and they always give them the most portion when they cook. Even the tea eggs she and Dad Jiang made earlier are bigger than others.

After Jiang Xi entered the door and shouted, he didn't hear Jiang's father's answer, only heard Jiang's mother in the kitchen asking if Yifan had come.

"Godmother, I'm here!" Holding the watermelon and sending it to the kitchen, Jiang Ma was wearing an apron and using an electric baking pan to bake meatloaf.

"Wash your hands. Didn't you say you wanted to eat pie the day before yesterday? It was specially baked for you. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

"Hey, I'll put the watermelon in the refrigerator and chill it for a while." If you are polite, it seems that seeing outsiders will make Jiang's mother unhappy. Now Zhong Yifan's identity seems to be the eldest son of the Jiang family.

"You're just disobedient, kid. How many times have you been told to come up and give you two slaps when you buy something." Holding a rolling pin, Jiang Ma made a gesture to knock Zhong Yifan's head, but she must be reluctant to do it.

"I didn't buy it, Xiaoxi bought it, if you want to hit him, hit him." Zhong Yifan pushed Jiang Xi, but if he really hit him, he would definitely protect him. "Godmother, did that Chinese medicine doctor drink it? Did it work?"

"Hmm! The effect is quite obvious. Besides, he is really a master. He drank it twice a day. From the night before yesterday to this morning, it was equivalent to drinking four times. It was bent over and over like a stick."

Seeing that Zhong Yifan had finished washing his hands, Jiang Ma first stuffed a meatloaf that had just come out of the pan into his godson's hand, letting him eat first.

"That's really great, I'm afraid it won't work." The beef patty, with some green peppers and onions added, is healthy and delicious. Zhong Yifan took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

In the kitchen, the mother and son chatted enthusiastically, and the son seemed to be left in a forgotten corner. Jiang Xi had to find a sense of existence for himself, so he also squeezed into the kitchen.

"Mom, do you have my share?" Look at the mixed status.

"Have you washed your hands?" Jiang's mother has always attached great importance to this, and taught Jiangxi's disease to come from the mouth since she was a child.

"It's a greedy cat, let me take a bite first." Putting the cake in his hand to Jiangxi's mouth, Zhong Yifan was like a big brother who gave way to a small one.

You're so impolite, Jiang Xi came up and took a big bite, chewing something and asked Jiang's mother vaguely: "Mom, where is my father?"

"Oh, where is the car from the furniture store at the south gate of his community? You guys came back from the north gate, right?" As he spoke, he baked a pot of three more. Mother Jiang took it out and put three raw ones in.

"Huh? Waiting for a car from a furniture store?" The house is so big, what kind of furniture can there be?

"Go back to your house and have a look." Jiang Ma even played tricks.

Bewildered, he went back to his room for a look, and Jiang Xi came back soon: "Why did you lose my bed?"

"Your father said that the 1.5-meter-wide bed was too hot for the two of you in the summer, so he sold that bed at the flea market, and replaced it with a 1.8-meter-wide one, and the people from the furniture store brought it right away." Jiang's place is limited and not enough to get a separate room for his godson. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother can only make the children live as comfortably as possible on the existing basis.

"Godmother..." Zhong Yifan had just put the last bite of biscuit into his mouth, and almost forgot how to chew after hearing this.

Guessing what the godson wanted to say, Jiang Ma didn't give a chance, and decisively blasted people outside the kitchen: "Go, go, it's not too hot to squeeze in such a small kitchen? The two of you go out and help Mom peel some preserved eggs. Your dad wants to eat preserved eggs in ginger sauce."

Before Jiang Xi and Zhong Yifan finished peeling a preserved egg, Jiang's father came in with a bed-lifting worker from a furniture store.It was not easy to carry such a big bed and mattress around the corner, Jiang Xi and Zhong Yifan greeted Jiang's father and came over to help. With a lot of people and strength, it was finally done.

"Xiaoxi, come here and help me watch the pan, and I'll make the beds for you." Calling her son into the kitchen to help, Jiang's mother went back to her bedroom closet and took out the newly bought four-piece bed set for the two sons. .

It's been a long time since the four of us got together, so we couldn't help chatting for a while, Zhong Yifan and Jiang Xi went back to the room after dinner and watching TV with Jiang's father and mother.As soon as they entered the door, they first saw the irregular black and white pattern of the bedding, and they both thought of an animal—cow.

Jiang Xi couldn't help it, and laughed with a "poof".

"Is it so ridiculous? I think it's good, the godmother has great taste." Zhong Yifan is now defending his godmother everywhere, and the combination of green sweater and red wool trousers is a bold and unique expression of aesthetics in his eyes.

"No, it's not about the sheets." Jiang Xi laughed so hard that he lay on the bed clutching his stomach: "I remembered something that happened in junior high school English class."

"What's the matter? Tell me and let me be happy together." Zhong Yifan also followed, sat on the bed and tested the softness and firmness of the mattress, and it felt good.

"Our English teacher once talked about a listening comprehension related to cows. She couldn't remember how to say cows in Chinese. In the end, she danced and gestured with us for milking, explaining that it was 'black and white big flower cows'. At that time, the whole class They laughed like crazy, and later our class unified the panda as the black and white tabby cat, and the spotted dog as the black and white tabby dog."

"Who taught English in your class in junior high school?" Zhong Yifan also laughed when he heard that, he knew most of the teachers in the junior high school of Babu Middle School, so he inquired curiously.

"Cao Minyan, Teacher Cao."

"Oh, I know her. She also taught our class in the first grade of junior high school. Later, she took maternity leave and changed teachers in the second grade of junior high school. Teacher Cao is very anxious, right? She also likes to delay the quiz when school is almost over, but teaching Very serious."

"That's right! In junior high school, she took care of our class for three years. During the senior high school entrance examination, my son was sick and didn't have time to go back to take care of her. She took the students who were not in the subject to make up English. The teaching attitude is really good. She is a good teacher who is serious and responsible." If Teacher Cao could hear such comments from her former students, she would probably feel relieved.

The two were chatting happily, and Jiang Ma called out that she and Jiang Dad had both finished taking a shower, and the bathroom was vacant, and asked them to take turns to wash.

The clothes they changed after taking a shower were thrown in the bathroom. Unexpectedly, they woke up the next day. The washing machine at home was working, and the clothes the two of them changed yesterday were already hanging on the balcony.

"It's over! Can't your clothes be machine washed?" Jiang Xi thought of this first.

"Shh!"

Putting up a finger to signal Jiang Xi not to say, Jiang Ma washing their clothes is definitely out of mother's concern, even if the clothes can't be machine washed, Zhong Yifan can only feel grateful.In his heart, there is no comparison between a piece of clothing and a piece of maternal love.

"Godmother, let me come!" Energetic, he walked to Jiang Ma's side in two steps, Zhong Yifan took the bed sheet from Jiang Ma's hand, and cheerfully helped to put it on the clothes drying pole. "I'm sorry to ask you to do my laundry."

"What's so embarrassing, which mother hasn't washed her son's clothes?" Jiang's mother usually cleans up on Saturdays: "Is the creek up?"

"Get up, go wash up."

"That's just right. I have something to ask you while he's not here." Jiang Ma discussed this question with Jiang Dad all morning. She didn't think about how to ask her son, so she planned to inquire about the news from her godson first.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Has Xiaoxi got a girlfriend?" Jiang Ma sincerely considers Zhong Yifan to be her eldest son, so she has to discuss with this elder brother about the younger son.

"Huh?" How dare he!But no matter how surprised Zhong Yifan was that Jiang Ma would suddenly ask this question, on the surface he had to pretend he didn't know anything: "I haven't heard him mention it? Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"I was doing his laundry just now, and I found this in his trouser pocket." Jiang Ma reached into the big pocket of her apron, and found something that Zhong Yifan was familiar with - a condom.

"..." This was the one he took out when he was teasing Jiangxi to jolt the car on the way back yesterday, but when Jiangxi scolded him for being rude, he snatched it and put it in his pocket, then forgot about it.

"Oh, actually, we old people don't understand what you young people are doing now, and your godfather and I are not so feudal, but Xiaoxi is only a freshman after all, you can tell him a few more words for godmother , We have no objection to making friends, but we still have to pay attention to safety, we are all students, and it is difficult to explain something to the parents of others."

Jiang Ma said so, but in fact, she must be more worried.But nowadays, children are very precocious. Father Jiang takes her to and from get off work every day on an electric scooter. He often passes by the station in front of a middle school. Several times he sees children who are still wearing junior high school uniforms hugging each other under the stop sign and kissing as if no one else is around.How about pity for the parents of the world, love is a thing that parents have to worry about, but like the neighbor's third son who is almost forty and has no serious partner, his parents are so anxious , It can be seen that it is too late to worry about it.

"Okay, I'll definitely tell him." The sheets had already dried well, and Zhong Yifan would still be pulling and pulling thoughtfully if he didn't inquire about Jiang Ma's news.

Papa Jiang was also thoughtful. Seeing the two young men going in and out together inseparable, Papa Jiang didn't talk much, but he already felt something in his heart.

After the two children left on Sunday, Jiang's father discussed the condom with Jiang's mother.

"Yifan didn't say anything, just said that he didn't hear Xiaoxi talk about having a girlfriend." Jiang's mother folded the dried clothes and glanced at Jiang's father: "I don't know where that thing came from, anyway, there is no girlfriend." Friends are better, you are still young, so you don’t have to delay your studies.”

Father Jiang shook his head slightly, expressing his disapproval: "Not having a girlfriend may not be a good thing..."

After stopping what she was doing, Jiang's mother became puzzled: "Dare you expect your son to bring you a daughter-in-law when he is a freshman?"

Knowing that Jiang's mother failed to understand what he meant, Jiang's father didn't go into it further, but he did it first.In fact, he is a person who always knows what he knows in his heart.

He is very clear about what kind of child his son is. He is obedient, sensible, filial, and self-motivated. He is not boasting about his own son and comparing it with the children of relatives and friends. There are not many children like Xiaoxi who make parents so worry-free since childhood.

Since he is a good boy, he naturally knows what to do and what not to do, and will not intentionally go astray to hurt his parents, so there must be no other way for his son to have such a choice.Of course, Dad Jiang still hopes that his guess is wrong, but if he guesses right, as a father, he thinks he will try to persuade himself to learn to respect the child's decision, so as not to make the child too embarrassing...

And looking at it from another angle, Yifan's child is also a filial child who is hard to find with a lantern.After getting along like father and son for so long, he has seen and remembered everything that Yifan did.If the two children are sincere, to be honest, he can't bear to let either of them be sad...

Jiang's father has always liked to listen to storytelling and so on. In "The Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty", Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty after the death of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty.Although Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Dong Xian were only 25 years old and the other 22 years old when they died, the allusion to the habit of breaking sleeves was much longer than their lives.

It may be that he has known for a long time that there is such a kind of person in this world who is different from ordinary people. Father Jiang feels that if things are really unfortunately guessed by him, he should think on the bright side. At least his son is with his godson. You can rest assured.

It's just that this matter is still just a guess. He doesn't want to tell Jiang Ma so early, and he will talk about everything on the day when the children voluntarily say it.
