Four Seasons Three Meals

Cong Shan and Jiang Huai flew back to Huaigang to pay New Year greetings to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yan.

Zhang Lao suddenly learned that his lover was getting married, he looked at the two people in front of him with a worried expression, and said nothing with a cold face.

Mrs. Yan had a kind face, she wore a festive cheongsam, made tea, and entertained the two of them in the living room.

Jiang Huai secretly looked at Zhang Lao's expression, a little embarrassed.

Elder Zhang turned his head and let out a cold "hum".

Mrs. Yan cast a glance at him, turned around and smiled softly, and chatted with Cong Shan.Cong Shan is a good-looking talent, with good demeanor and speech, she is satisfied in her heart.

Cong Shan explained his intentions, and Mrs. Yan asked him: "From your description, that post is probably a copy of the Qing Dynasty. It can be faked. Since it is your friend, even if you think about it, it will not expose you. Why don't you use it?"

Cong Shan said: "Because he is my friend, I can't fake it. A fake is a fake, and people always have a conclusion."

Madam Yan smiled slightly and said, "Have you never done anything against your will?"

Cong Shan said, "I haven't done it."

Madam Yan nodded, and suddenly said, "Follow me, write a few words and let me see."

Cong Shan said yes.

The study is on the second floor, Mrs. Yan led Cong Shan upstairs, and Jiang Huai followed behind.

The brush and ink are all ready-made, and Cong Shan wrote the four characters "sincerity and sincerity" with a pen, with a thin golden body and strong bones.

Mrs. Yan was a little surprised. She looked at it repeatedly, with a smile on her face, and said, "You are young, but you are impressive."

After finishing writing, Mrs. Yan didn't give any instructions on the copybook, but just asked them to stay for a meal.

Jiang Huai went to help in the kitchen, and Cong Shan went fishing with Mr. Zhang.

Mrs. Yan is going to make mandarin duck cakes, and Jiang Huai helps knead the noodles.While adjusting the stuffing, Mrs. Yan said, "Xiao Jiang, you made Lao Zhang very angry this time."

Jiang Huai knew he was in the wrong, a little embarrassed, and smiled with his lips pursed.

Mrs. Yan said: "I received your call yesterday and heard that you were coming back. He was very happy, but when he heard that you were going to bring your lover back, his joy disappeared all of a sudden."

Jiang Huai said: "Cong Shan and I just got married, so I didn't have time to tell you and the teacher."

Mrs. Yan said: "My precious child got married quietly, and it would be difficult for any parent to accept."

Jiang Huai nodded obediently.

Mrs. Yan said: "However, from just now, he is a considerate and meticulous person. I have passed this test."

Jiang Huai was a little proud, with dimples on his face.

I don't know what Cong Shan said to Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang's complexion improved a lot during the meal.

Jiang Huai bit the ends of the chopsticks, and whispered to Cong Shan, "My teacher's wife is very good at cooking. Let's come back this summer and drink fish soup."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lao suddenly heard: "Congshan, right?"

Cong Shan put down his chopsticks.

"Last summer," Mr. Zhang raised his chin and looked at Jiang Huai, "Is it you who called this kid?"

Both of them were taken aback, and at the same time they thought about what happened last summer.

Jiang Huai was thin-skinned and blushed first.

Seeing his reaction, Mr. Zhang said, "I knew it."

Jiang Huai said: "At that time, at that time, who could predict what happened later..."

Mr. Zhang ignored him, looked at Cong Shan, and said, "He doesn't admit it, I can see that he has been thinking about you since then."

Cong Shan held Jiang Huai's hand under the table, holding back a smile.

Mr. Zhang said: "I protect my shortcomings and don't want to see my own people being wronged. You are also a smart person and know what to do."

Jiang Huai froze for a moment, Cong Shan nodded yes.

Old Zhang's complexion turned better, but he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Eat!"

After dinner, leaving the teacher's house, Cong Shan wanted to go to Jiang Huai's house to meet his parents.

Jiang Huai didn't object, and went back to a dilapidated and crowded building by car. When he went upstairs, it was even worse, with old iron doors and dim light.

It wasn't long before Wang Xiumiao got up, she was at home, and she was a little surprised to see Jiang Huai bring the man back.

Jiang Huai said to Wang Xiumiao in a flat tone, "Mom, I'm married."

Wang Xiumiao was quite frightened, so she slapped Jiang Huai on the arm and said, "I don't discuss such a big matter with my mother!"

Jiang Huai didn't speak.

Cong Shan introduced himself politely.

Wang Xiumiao saw that he was good-looking and didn't look like he came from a poor background, so she took a more relaxed attitude and asked the two if they got married, did they buy a house, did they buy a car, and did they save any money.

Cong Shan said: "There are all of them."

Wang Xiumiao had a smile on her face and asked, "Do you live with your parents?"

Cong Shan said, "Live separately."

Wang Xiumiao asked, "What do you do?"

Cong Shan said: "Traditional Chinese medicine, I started a company with my friends."

After hearing this, Wang Xiumiao was a little worried, and said to Jiang Huai, "I'm the boss, I drink and socialize a lot, and many young girls outside like to be around..."

Jiang Huai called "Mom" softly.

Wang Xiumiao said: "We are all one family. If there is anything you can't talk about, you will be at a disadvantage in the future."

Cong Shan didn't speak, but held his breath.

Jiang Huai felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Xiumiao dismissed Jiang Huai and asked him to go to the kitchen to make lunch for himself. Jiang Huai was worried, but Wang Xiumiao urged him, so he had to go.

Wang Xiumiao exchanged few words with Cong Shan, but when she saw the diamond ring on his hand, she became suspicious and asked for money in a low voice, saying she had a bad stomach and went to see a doctor in the afternoon.

Cong Shan gave it, and Wang Xiumiao took the money and went out to pay back the money to Jiang Desheng.

Jiang Huai came out after washing the dishes, saw that Wang Xiumiao was not there, and asked Cong Shan calmly, "Did my mother ask you for money?"

Cong Shan said, "No."

His face softened a little.

Cong Shan said, "Huaibao, let's go outside for a stroll."

Jiang Huai said yes.

Cong Shan wanted to see the place where Jiang Huai was studying in high school. The middle school was in the city center, and the two went there by car.

Jiang Huai saw the familiar school gate from a distance, and now he was already a member of the society, and he didn't fit in among the students.

He took Cong Shan to stroll around the student street at the entrance, where there were some stationery stores, printing shops, snack bars...

Here are all memories, Jiang Huai walked around and felt better.

In the evening, students come out of school, wear school uniforms, and gather in small groups, talking and laughing.

There is always a kind of unknowing brilliance in the youth.

Cong Shan said, "Huaibao, you should look good in school uniform."

Jiang Huai smiled and said, "You haven't seen it before, how can you be so sure?"

Cong Shan said, "It's in the photo album."

Jiang Huai thought of the photo album hidden at home and said "oh".

At night, the two randomly found a food stall, eating skewers and drinking beer, which tasted delicious.

There are students nearby who are moaning and discussing the final exam.

Cong Shan smiled and asked, "Are you afraid of taking the exam?"

Jiang Huai said: "Of course there is. I remember one time, when I was doing a history paper in the examination room, the light was very dim, and my eyes were very dark. I felt that I was going to see Qin Shihuang soon, so I had to lie down on the table and sleep for a while."

Cong Shan asked: "What happened next?"

Jiang Huai said: "Then I woke up and was still in the examination room, so I had to dry off my saliva and continue doing the questions."

Cong Shan laughed out loud and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Jiang Huai said: "The test was better than usual, probably because the brain got enough rest."

Cong Shan smiled and held Jiang Huai's hand.

Jiang Huai remembered that when he was studying, he went climbing with his classmates after the exam.The top of the mountain is there, anyone can look up to it, anyone can challenge it, and the blood is boiling.

Jiang Huai asked: "You really don't want to stay in a hotel?"

Cong Shan said, "It's like living in your house."

Jiang Huai was inexplicable, always feeling wronged by Cong Shan.

In the evening, after Cong Shan finished washing, he and Jiang Huai squeezed into a small bed.

The house was quiet, and he said, "Huaibao, I have the illusion that if I fall in love with you, I will be kicked out by my parents immediately."

Jiang Huai smiled.

He said to Cong Shan: "Can you sleep? If you can't sleep, just count the stars."

The fluorescent stars on the ceiling shone brightly.

Jiang Huai said: "When my father beat my mother before, I couldn't fall asleep, so I just counted the stars, and I soon became sleepy."

His tone was pretending to be calm, but deep beneath it was the exhaustion of inferiority, Cong Shan heard it, and gently rubbed his palm.

After a while, Cong Shan said: "Let's go home and make a projection of the nine planets, orbiting in the sky, it must be very hypnotic."

Jiang Huai smiled, and said: "When I was young, I used to chase after my mother and ask where I came from. My mother said that I brought it back from the temple. My mother also said that there are many earthen baskets at the gate of the temple. The baby in the soil basket is also very good, but I have the biggest and most beautiful eyes, so she reluctantly chose me."

Cong Shan smiled, held Jiang Huai's face in his hands, and said, "The eyes are very big, let me kiss you."

Jiang Huai closed his eyes, and Cong Shan kissed him tenderly.

Jiang Huai said softly: "Doctor Cong, if my mom asks you for money next time, don't give it to her. My dad likes to gamble, and she never stops me."

Cong Shan said yes and held him in his arms.

Jiang Huai felt relieved and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, when they woke up, they ran into Jiang Desheng who had returned from a hangover, and Jiang Huai inevitably quarreled with him.

Cong Shan didn't participate, but he protected Jiang Huai from the beginning to the end.

Jiang Huai didn't want to get entangled with the drunk, so he glanced at Wang Xiumiao, threw down a divorce agreement that he carried with him, and dragged Cong Shan away.

On the plane, Jiang Huai closed his eyes and pursed his mouth tightly, showing no emotion.

Cong Shan held his hand and whispered, "Huai Bao, you still have me."

Jiang Huai didn't respond.

After a while, Cong Shan felt his shoulders sink, and it was Jiang Huai who leaned his head on it.

He opened his eyes and looked forward, his eyes were empty, the end of his eyes were red, and a tear fell.

Cong Shan covered his eyes with his hands, and his voice was low.

"Cry."

Jiang Huai sniffled, said "um", and said again.

"Fortunately, there are you."

A few days after they returned to Jiangcheng, they received a courier from Mrs. Yan.

Inside is Wen Zhengming's "Qing Jing Jing", and a box of mandarin duck cakes.

Jiang Huai was not interested in the copybook, so Cong Shan took it away and went to make an appointment with a friend.

Jiang Huai opened the pastry box, couldn't wait to pick up a piece, and tasted it. The skin was crispy, with distinct layers, and the scum could be removed after one bite.

He took another piece, opened it, and found a note inside.

It's Mrs. Yan's hairpin lowercase script, which says "Hundred Years of Love".

The rain in Jiang Huai's heart turned sunny.

Cong Yue's matter was too much trouble, Mr. Cong asked Cong Shan to go to Australia to meet him, and the original visit to friends had to be postponed.

Before going out, Cong Shan asked Jiang Huai: "Huaibao, I'm leaving, what are you going to do at home?"

Jiang Huai thought for a while and said, "Weave a scarf for Cheng Yusheng."

He has something to do, so he won't think wildly, Cong Shan nodded, kissed him again, and left in peace.
