Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 62 Control
After watching the movie, Jiang You took a walk home. He gave the movie four stars on Douban, read a few long reviews to understand the parts he didn’t understand, and then fell asleep contentedly.
The quilt is soft.
warm.
I slept until dawn.
He looked at the time, it was half past nine. When he turned over and wanted to lie down for a while, he suddenly remembered that today was Monday.
It's time to rise up.
So he sat up, washed, changed his clothes, went to Xiaofangzhai to have breakfast, took a walk in Wenfeng Park and breathed some fresh air.
It had been a long time since he had been so diligent. After walking out of Wenfeng Park, he didn't know what to do for a moment. After thinking about it, he turned and walked towards the tea room.
There were not many people in the tea room.
Mr. Xu is not here either.
He ordered a pot of Longjing tea, found a seat by the window, and sat down. He drank the tea while reading the headlines. After finishing half a cup of tea, he looked up and saw Zhao Lijun walking into the tea room.
When Zhao Lijun saw Jiang You, he waved to him and then slowly walked over.
As he sat down, he asked, "Do you feel a little quiet now that Mr. Xu is not here?"
Jiang You smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Lijun. "Where did he go?"
"I ran into him at the vegetable market this morning. He said his daughter was coming back today and he bought two big bags of vegetables. I guess he and Xiao Zhang are busy now."
"I met them at Wenbing Mountain."
"Jia Jia?"
Jiang You nodded.
"How are they?"
"I don't know." Jiang You took a sip of tea, "I'm not familiar with them."
"Old Xu dotes on his daughter too much," Zhao Lijun sighed. "He gets up every morning and goes to buy breakfast, making fried dough sticks and baozi (small steamed buns with deep-fried dough sticks). It's never the same every week. When he gets home, Jia Jia is up and it's time for breakfast. Jia Jia goes to work, so he goes out to the park teahouse. After lunch, he cuts up some fruit and puts it in his daughter's office before coming over to play chess..."
"His daughter is so happy." Jiang You was a little envious.
"So she is very picky. Which man can pamper her like her parents do?" Zhao Lijun glanced outside the door. "Old Xu and Xiao Zhang were famous talented men and beautiful women when they were young."
"I can see that."
"If we use her father's standards to choose, it's impossible to pick one. Now this Zhang Lin, as long as we can control him, I think he may not be a bad person. What do you think?"
Jiang You picked up the teapot and poured water into the cup. "I think Zhang Lin is a generous person."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Lijun asked.
"I originally went to him to book a room, but failed, so I asked other friends for help, and luckily I was able to book a hotel in the scenic area. After he found out, he came to me to ask what my relationship was. I wasn't familiar with him, we had only met once."
"So..." Zhao Lijun nodded thoughtfully.
"Did he come to you and say something good to you in front of Mr. Xu?" Jiang You asked.
"He talked to me for a few words, and he came to see you too?"
"Yes, as for the matter between men and women, it's up to them to deal with it themselves, right? The divorce rate is now around 30 to 40 percent, and many people simply don't want to get married."
"You mean you?"
Jiang You admitted with a smile, "There are many people who think the same as me now. Think about it, if they break up in the future, and Old Xu dotes on her daughter so much, what should we do if she remembers that we spoke up for Zhang Lin and starts to blame us?"
"What you said makes sense," Zhao Lijun thought for a moment, "Shall I play a game with you today?"
"Okay, I think I've improved recently."
Zhao Lijun pointed at Jiang You and laughed, "You've learned what Old Xu said."
After finishing a game of chess, it was time . I walked out of the teahouse, found a shop and ate a plate of fried noodles with pork intestines, then went back to the insect house to take an afternoon nap.
Zhang Lin and Xu Jiaqi returned to the Xu family.
"Jia Jia, are you tired? Rest for a while and then you can eat." Xu Zhihai took Xu Jiaqi's suitcase.
Xu Jiaqi's expression was a little confused.
"Jia Jia, what's wrong?" Xu Zhihai noticed that something was wrong with Xu Jiaqi.
"Maybe I was too tired," Zhang Lin explained, "I climbed the mountain for two days."
"Oh, how can you be so tired from taking a hot spring bath? Sit down and take a rest."
They sat down around the dining table.
Zhang Qiu brought out the fruit plate and asked, " Did you go to see the sunrise?"
"I saw it. I missed it on the first day, so I went to see it again on the second day." Zhang Lin took a piece of melon and placed it in front of Xu Jiaqi.
"Jia Jia?" Zhang Qiu looked at Xu Jiaqi.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Xu Jiaqi asked as if she was suddenly awakened.
"Are you tired?"
Xu Jiaqi shook her head and then nodded.
She just felt her head was swollen and painful.
"Can you eat? I'll make you a bowl of noodles. It'll be nice to eat with the soup."
"good."
She saw Zhang Lin looking at her with a strange look in his eyes.
She lowered her head, picked up the melon and started eating it in small bites.
The fragrance in the breath seemed to be washed away a little by the scent of the fruit.
"How is the hot spring?" Xu Zhihai asked her, "Is the water hot?"
"Very good," Xu Jiaqi seemed to have remembered something and said, "I ran into him when he came to our house to play chess last time."
"Xiao Jiang? Did you run into him? Was he alone?"
"No, with a child and a woman."
"He didn't even tell me when he started dating someone," Xu Zhihai complained.
"Seems to be older than him." Zhang Lin added.
Xu Jiaqi felt herself slowly waking up.
She said: "His son is very cute."
Zhang Qiu cooked a lot of dishes and set a whole table. After eating, Xu Jiaqi said she wanted to rest. Zhang Lin wanted to chat with Xu Zhihai for a while, but Xu Zhihai said he wanted to take a nap, so Zhang Lin said goodbye and left.
After Xu Jiaqi finished taking a shower and returned to the room, Zhang Qiu walked in with a towel.
Zhang Qiu stood behind Xu Jiaqi, dried her hair bit by bit with a towel, and then blew it slowly with a hair dryer.
Xu Jiaqi slowly closed her eyes.
The body relaxed.
She heard Zhang Qiu ask her, "Did you have fun outing this time?"
"It's OK. The scenery on Wenbing Mountain is pretty good."
"Did you climb up there by yourself?"
"There is a cable car halfway up the mountain, and you only have to climb a section."
"You and Zhang Lin, did you guys..." Zhang Qiu asked tentatively.
Xu Jiaqi was about to answer when she smelled the scent of incense.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
She suddenly remembered.
A window that can't be opened.
There was a dark shadow outside the door and a strange smile.
I started to have a headache.
She asked, "Mom, do you smell me?"
"What's that smell?" Zhang Qiu took a sniff. "It smells like shampoo and shower gel."
"no……"
The scene in front of her became blurry, as if she was surrounded by white mist. She heard her say, "Zhang Lin proposed to me this morning, and I agreed."
