Chapter 136: Looking up, all I see is tenderness
On New Year's Eve, Chen Jianghe finally got a taxi and returned to Dongguan smoothly.
He originally planned to take advantage of the winter vacation to enroll in a driving school and get a driver's license, but after being so busy, he obviously didn't have enough time. He thought about it and decided to enroll in a driving school near Longdong University Town, give some gifts to the instructor to build a good relationship, and try to get the license as soon as possible.
During the days that Chen Jianghe was away from home, his father Chen Jianguo did two important things. The first was to ask the village committee to approve a residential plot of land so that they could find an auspicious time early next year to start building a new house.
Lao Chen has worked on construction sites for more than ten years, and is busy building houses for others every day. This time it is finally his turn to build a new house. He is so excited that he only sleeps three or four hours a night and often gets up in the middle of the night to draw blueprints and make budgets.
Another thing is that he went to Songshan Lake to buy a piece of land. To be honest, Chen Jianguo couldn't understand why his son chose the Shankala location in Songshan Lake to buy land. The surrounding environment is indeed good, but as of now, its development prospects are not as good as Zhangcun.
"Maybe my son just wants the land to be cheap."
This is what Chen Jianguo thought when he bought the land. He put aside the budget for building his own house and used all the remaining money in his card to buy the land. He didn't care how it would develop in the future. At worst, he could leave it to his son to farm when he came back...
Chen Jianghe naturally didn't know that his father had even paved a way out for him through farming. He was currently lying on the big bed in his bedroom, texting rapidly with Teacher Xu.
Xu Zhixi: "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone home. My mother scheduled my blind date from the second day of the first lunar month to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month..."
Chen Jianghe: "Are you so cruel? Tell mom that you have a boyfriend and there's no need to go on a blind date."
Xu Zhixi: "I lied to her like this two years ago, and now she doesn't believe anything I say. And... I tried to probe her indirectly, and she seems to have a problem with boys younger than me."
When Chen Jianghe saw the message , he raised his eyebrows. When he made up his mind to pursue Teacher Xu, he knew there would be such an obstacle, and now he has encountered it.
Marriage is not simply the union of two people, but the integration of both families.
However, Chen Jianghe was not panicked at all: "It's okay, Mom can keep her opinions to herself. We have already made it a done deal. Once we have a baby and bring it back to her, she shouldn't have any objections."
Xu Zhixi blushed when she saw the message. She bit her teeth lightly and replied with a pouty face: "Asshole... Who wants to give birth to a child for you?"
"It's just a matter of time." Chen Jianghe replied calmly, "I want to have twins, so I'll find some professional books to see what kind of posture is easier to kill two birds with one stone."
"..."Xu Zhixi replied with six points.
Then, not long after, the phone call came.
"Teacher Xu, long distance plus roaming is very expensive."
Chen Jianghe said with a grin on the phone.
Xu Zhixi said angrily: "I was talking to you seriously, but you joked with me. I'm angry."
"I'm angry too. It's bad enough that my wife went on blind dates behind my back, and she did it from the second to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Now, for no reason, I have dozens of rivals in love, and they are all from your local area. Who can stand this?" Chen Jianghe always finds different ways to coax girls.
"Nonsense, who... who is your wife, who is secretly dating, I, I don't want to do that either."
Xu Zhixi became less and less confident as she spoke, and finally sniffed and said faintly, "Actually, I'm very depressed and resisting. Can't you say something nice to comfort me, or come and save me?"
When Chen Jianghe heard this, his heart was numb. Without saying anything, he said directly: " Tell me the specific address."
"Are you really coming?" Xu Zhixi was a little surprised.
"If I just stand by and watch my wife is in trouble, would I still be a human being?" said Chen Jianghe.
Xu Zhixi felt warm at heart when she heard this, but he called her "wife" all the time, which made her a little embarrassed. She snorted, "Don't call me wife... call me teacher."
"Okay." Chen Jianghe agreed and called out with a smile, "Xiao Xixi."
"..." Xu Zhixi had no way to deal with him. She always called Chen Jianghe "bastard" and "classmate Chen Jianghe". He, on the other hand, called him Teacher Xu, Zhixi, wife, and Xiao Xixi in various ways. Only when he was the most indecent would he call him the most decent name...
However, although Xu Zhixi called him a bastard, she didn't hate Chen Jianghe at all in her heart. On the contrary, when she heard his frivolous and unremarkable voice on the phone, she felt friendly and at ease, and even couldn't help but think of the days she spent with him.
"I thought about it and decided to spend the New Year at home, go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the first lunar month, and ask my best friend to cover for me on the second day of the first lunar month, and then go directly back to eastern Guangdong."
Xu Zhixi made the decision and gave Chen Jianghe some reassurance: "Now that you have a boyfriend, you must resolutely resist blind dates."
"Wow, that's really nice to hear. It makes me happy even through the phone." Chen Jianghe smiled.
"I'll let you bloom for a while now, but I can't let you do whatever you want when we return to school," said Xu Zhixi.
"Haha, let's talk about it when you come back." Chen Jianghe laughed.
"I'm serious. I'm not kidding." Xu Zhixi stamped her feet lightly and said, "I don't know who spread the story about us. Last time when I was riding home in my uncle's car, he criticized me..."
"Oh?" Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows. This was most likely another case of Bai Qidong reporting it.
Previously, Chen Jianghe asked Zhou Jinfu to arrange for his men to beat him up. Afterwards, he received a photo showing that Teacher Bai had such a bruised face that even his mother wouldn’t recognize him.
According to Zhou Jinfu's description on QQ, he had a perverted younger brother who had evil intentions when he saw that Teacher Bai was fair and tender. Unexpectedly, Teacher Bai would rather die than obey. In desperation, he poured a 37-degree Celsius liquid into his mouth and left.
"Teacher Xu, are you afraid of people pointing fingers at you when you are with me?" Chen Jianghe asked.
" I'm not afraid , it's just that people's words are scary. Just be more well-behaved in school next time." Xu Zhixi said softly.
"Yeah." Chen Jianghe nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that I am very well-behaved in school, and I am only bolder when I am in your dormitory. Once the door is closed, who knows if I am well-behaved or not.
"Teacher Xu, I miss you a little." Chen Jianghe said suddenly.
"Really?" Xu Zhixi walked to the window, looked at the foggy sky outside, listened to the crackling sound of firecrackers all around, smiled slightly, and said softly, "I miss you too, classmate Chen Jianghe."
The year ends with the sound of firecrackers.
At midnight, Chen Jianghe received three text messages on time, one from Jiang Yishu, the other from Xu Zhixi, and Lin Siqi. The contents were similar, but the addresses were different: brother, Chen Jianghe's classmate, and boss.
The fireworks outside the window are like blooming flowers, the scene is lively and bustling, every house is brightly lit, and the sounds of mahjong, children laughing, and firecrackers are endless.
However, Chen Jianghe did not feel it was noisy at all. Instead, he liked this feeling very much.
The New Year atmosphere of 2007 is long gone.
…
"Brother, are you asleep?"
At 1 a.m., Jiang Yishu sent a text message.
"Not yet, I just lay down." Chen Jianghe replied.
"Come out for a moment, I'm outside your house." Jiang Yishu replied quickly.
"Coming, coming." Chen Jianghe jumped up, wearing only a single piece of clothing and ran out barefoot.
When I opened the door, I saw Jiang Yishu outside. It was quite cold tonight and the wind was a little strong. She was shivering slightly outside.
"Silly girl, why are you here so late?" Chen Jianghe felt sorry for her, walked up to her and hugged her.
"Here, a New Year's gift for you." Jiang Yishu held a small brocade bag in her palm and handed it to Chen Jianghe with a smile: "I got the amulet from the Sixth Patriarch Temple. It is said to be very effective."
"Hiss..." Chen Jianghe took a deep breath and looked down at Jiang Yishu in his arms.
The most beautiful image of a girl he could think of was probably Jiang Yishu in front of him, with a smile on her face, sunshine in her heart, him in her eyes, and gentleness everywhere when she looked up.
