Jiangxin Poplar

The next thing is to start school, then have summer vacation, and then go to sophomore year.

These days, the friendship between Jiangcheng and Xiao Zijun has been continuously upgraded. Apart from the bond of Meng Zidi, the overlap of interests and hobbies in life and study, as well as the rigorous and seriousness of study, have allowed them to have many common topics. While helping each other, they have also increased A lot of joy in life.

Xiao Yu held a grand wedding with a big belly. Two months after the wedding, a little princess was born. Xiao Zijun was both a brother-in-law and an uncle. He was so happy from ear to ear, he often took photos and videos of his little niece and sent them to Jiang Cheng .

If it was before meeting Meng Zidi, Jiang Cheng would never click on the kid's video and laugh like a fool.

Of course, life will not always be so smooth, and accidents always come when you least expect it.

Jiang Cheng was in class when he received the unexpected news. His phone vibrated several times before he clicked on it. Someone sent it from Grandpa Meng's phone. After a few calls, no one answered, the other party sent a message.

"Old Meng fell down and is now being sent to the municipal hospital."

Before Jiangcheng asked for leave and ran out, he also sent a message to Xiao Zijun. When the two rushed to the hospital, Grandpa Meng was already dying, and they didn't even get to see each other for the last time.

Three-year-old Meng Zidi should know nothing, but he cried heart-rendingly, who would dare to say that he didn't understand?

An old uncle of the Meng family presided over the funeral of Mr. Meng, and it was handled simply and hastily. The few relatives of the Meng family dispersed after their ashes were buried. "What else can I do, let's find his mother" and "If it doesn't work, send him to an orphanage, it's useless to find us" and sent Jiangcheng away.

In the end, Jiang Cheng, who was holding Meng Zidi and didn't know where to go, was helpless as if he had been abandoned.

Xiao Zijun took the two of them to eat French fries and hamburgers that Meng Zidi liked the most but had never been allowed to eat.

"Why don't you go to the orphanage and ask?" Xiao Zijun asked tentatively.

Although he has already thought about the result of Grandpa Meng leaving sooner or later, the future of Meng Zidi's whereabouts has never been determined. Now he is most dependent on and trusts the two elder brothers in front of him. If he loses them, Meng Zidi will be really no one cares. Orphans no one cares about anymore.

Jiang Cheng couldn't do it, and neither could Xiao Zijun.

In the end, the two had no choice but to carry the child home, of course to Jiang Cheng's house.

Yan Ying looked at the child in Jiang Cheng's arms in a daze, and when she understood what Jiang Cheng meant, she became even more dazed and stupid.

Jiang Cheng didn't intend to send her back to her to raise, but told her that he wanted to raise the child.

Don't talk about Yan Ying, Xiao Zijun on the side is dumbfounded.

Yan Ying pointed at him in disbelief, "You are only 20 years old, even if you really want to adopt, the law doesn't allow you to know?"

Jiang Cheng wasn't worried about this, "I've asked Han Yunzhou, and he can handle it. Besides, I don't want to be his adoptive father, as long as I become his legal guardian."

"Then how are you going to raise it? Ah—" Yan Ying raised her voice, "You are still a student yourself, how are you going to raise a child? What will you do with your own life in the future?"

"I'll hire a nanny to take him 24 hours a day." On the way back, Jiang Cheng could only come up with such a solution, "You don't have to worry about the money, let alone my part-time salary, the dividends from the photography company alone are enough."

"Why do you think it's so simple?" Yan Ying was really anxious, "How can it be so simple to raise a child, he can almost go to kindergarten now, and there will be elementary and middle schools in the future. Do you know how many things a child needs to go to school?" Will the guardian do it? Where do you have the time, the energy, and the money?"

"Let's do it step by step," Jiang Cheng had already made up his mind, and it was useless for Yan Ying to say anything, "There is always a way, besides, money is not a problem, I will start an internship in two years, and I will work later, there is nothing good I'm worried, at worst, it's better to make a rough living, than to give it to someone who doesn't know the details, what if I get abused?"

"You—" Yan Ying was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, "In the future, you will talk about girlfriends, get married, and have your own children. You can't even find a girlfriend if you take him with you."

Well, Jiang Cheng didn't know if he should come out of the closet at this time... Sigh, forget it, if the old lady died of anger on the spot, something serious would happen.

"Let's make it so for the time being," Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "Mom, I'll ask you to take the babysitter for two days before we find her. My school can't ask for leave."

"I..." Yan Ying rolled her eyes and almost lost her breath.

Xiao Zijun also admired Jiangcheng in this matter, and once again refreshed his understanding of Jiangcheng.

No matter how Yan Ying objected, this matter was already a foregone conclusion here in Jiangcheng.He retreated from the small private house at the foot of Luoxia Mountain, and planned to re-rent a suite near the kindergarten for the nanny and Meng Zidi to live in.

Yan Ying took care of the child for a week, but finally gave in. She didn't know if it was because Meng Zidi was too cute or she couldn't trust the nanny outside, so she offered to take care of the child.

Jiang Cheng was very sorry about this. He told his mother not to force her, but Yan Ying was also persistent. He just told him not to spend the money, but he couldn't buy it. Don't worry. I can't do a part-time job, so I can only take care of the old and the young at home with peace of mind.

When the group heard about this, there was an uproar.

Tang Yuan: "Jiangcheng, are you crazy?"

Pan Jun: "Then this child will call you brother or your father from now on?"

Dongzi: "Jiangcheng, you are so awesome!"

Zhuo Hai: "If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. You can borrow money even if you are in need. Don't be disgusted if you don't have much."

Pan Jun: "Me too. If you need help, just say it. Brothers who can help will definitely help."

……

Jiang Cheng: "Thank you everyone, I will definitely need you in the future."

Mencius Di is at home, Jiangcheng will go home every weekend from now on, and he also likes to take him with him when he goes to collect music, because it is not convenient to take children to collect music, so he often takes Xiao Zijun with him.

No matter what happened, life had to go on as usual, but this year was destined to not be a smooth one.

Less than a month after Grandpa Meng passed away unexpectedly, Jiangcheng received another call.

It was a Wednesday morning, he just got up from the bed in the dormitory, the bell rang when he was getting dressed, and he went outside to answer it with his mobile phone.

The call was from his mother, Yan Ying, with just one sentence: "Your grandfather is gone."

Yan Ying woke up early in the morning and went to the room to find that he was out of breath. Last night, when she sat in a wheelchair in the living room and ate together to tease Didi, she didn't notice anything unusual. Although the old man had lost all five senses, he kept looking at Meng Zidi and grinning. Who would have thought that he would die like this the next day.

Jiang Cheng asked for leave and went back. Grandpa was lying there with a peaceful face, but he walked peacefully.He had been bedridden for □ years, and to put it bluntly, it was actually a relief for everyone to leave, but Jiang Cheng sat by his bed, feeling unspeakably sad.

In fact, the relationship with grandpa is not particularly deep. It is so uncomfortable because Grandpa Meng just left here and then grandpa left again. Life is impermanent, fragile and small, and no one can control it.

This made the pain deeply buried in his heart more profound and heart-wrenching.

All relatives and friends came to the funeral, and the only one absent was the gambler dad, but Jiang Cheng didn't care, and besides, his grandfather was just his former father-in-law, so it didn't matter whether he attended or not.

Yan Ying lost control of her emotions and kept wiping away her tears. When she came to talk to her relatives, she couldn't stop her tears. Jiang Chi sat there numbly, unwilling to communicate with others, and unwilling to move.

Jiang Cheng didn't show a sad look, he was very calm, and handled all affairs in an orderly manner like the pillar of the family.

After finishing the funeral, everyone went back to their respective homes, and my aunt stayed at home with Yan Ying to deal with grandfather's belongings, and comforted and enlightened each other by the way.

Jiang Cheng carried Meng Zidi to the small study to sleep on the small bed with him, and sang nursery rhymes to him to lull him to sleep.Half an hour later, Mencius Di fell into a sweet dream, and he stared at the ceiling without turning his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he got up from the bed, put on his coat, moved a long table over the edge of the bed to prevent Meng Zidi from falling, then knocked on the door of his mother's room, and told her that he might not come back to sleep after going out for a walk. .

After wandering on the street for a long time, he entered a bar, ordered a drink and sat in a corner, pouring glasses of wine into his stomach.He has dialed the number on his mobile phone more than a dozen times tonight, and every time there is a reminder "The number you dialed is empty, please check before dialing", but he still repeats it over and over again. redial.He knew it was meaningless, but he didn't know what else to do besides this.

Before he lost consciousness, he received a phone call, and he called "Brother" as soon as he picked it up. His deep voice was full of anticipation and excitement. The other party paused for a moment before asking, "Where are you?"

Jiang Cheng could still tell that it was Xiao Zijun's voice, so he immediately changed his disappointed tone, and responded, "What do you need from me?"

"Can't I find you?" Xiao Zijun asked again, "Where are you?"

Jiang Cheng held his forehead and thought for a while, and finally said, "Let me send you the location."

"Do you know how to send it?"

"Nonsense." Jiang Cheng said dissatisfied, "I'm not drunk."

"You don't even know where you are when you're not drunk?" Xiao Zijun was worried, "I'll give you a minute, and I'll call you again if the location isn't sent."

After Xiao Zijun came, Jiang Cheng didn't drink, he leaned on the leather sofa and played with the pendant around his neck, the light was dim and he couldn't see what it was, he vaguely thought it was a round bead or something.

"Why are you drinking alone?" Xiao Zijun filled a glass for himself, "I can come over anytime with a call, wouldn't it be nice to have someone to chat with you?"

"I just want to be alone." Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "It's already here, let's have a drink with me."

Xiao Zijun is different from Zhuo Hai and the others. Although he has known Jiangcheng for a shorter time than them, he knows Jiangcheng better than them. collapse.

He didn't shirk, and kept drinking with him, until Jiang Cheng was so drunk that he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

This is also Jiang Cheng's first time to be really drunk. In the past, no matter how much he drank, he could still retain a sliver of sanity. This time, his sanity is gone. In his eyes, the whole world is overlapping and upside down.

Xiao Zijun, who was a head shorter than him, supported him who was lying on the sofa, "Where will I take you back?"

"Where are you going?" Jiang Cheng said with most of his weight on him, unable to speak clearly, "Of course it's back to our house."

Xiao Zijun looked at his watch, "What time is it, wouldn't it be nice to go back and wake up your mother at this time?"

Jiang Cheng reeked of alcohol, "Go back to our house."

"Oh~" Xiao Zijun didn't know he was talking about the apartment, so he just sighed, "Go to my place first."
