Chapter 33 The Old House
Jiang Mingchuan thought that Song Xu's hometown was in the countryside, but he didn't expect Song Xu to drive directly to a business district, in an old-looking neighborhood, Song Xu looked at Jiang Mingchuan who was a little dazed, and asked, "Why are you so surprised. "
"I thought you were talking about going to the country."
"This used to be a village, hahaha." Song Xu locked the car and gave the key to Jiang Mingchuan, "But when I was three years old, this place was part of the street. Some residential areas were built, and now a business district has been built. I remember things here It’s part of the city center.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, people in the city are different." Jiang Mingchuan said.
Song Xu smiled, "There is a house here that my grandparents left behind. When my grandpa left, he said that this house was left to me. My parents would sometimes come here to clean it up, to add some popularity, but You probably haven't been in the mood recently."
Although Jiang Mingchuan couldn't see Song Xu's mood now, he couldn't help but put his arms around Song Xu's shoulder,
Song Xu was in a daze, but he soon woke up. He didn't shake off Jiang Mingchuan's hand. Jiang Mingchuan was secretly happy, and he reluctantly put his hand down when he walked up the stairs.
It is said to be an old house, but in fact the community is well maintained. The people who live here are very hygienic. There are no sundries on the stairs. The house is on the top floor. Xu smiled and panted, "I will exercise tomorrow, but climbing the stairs is still exhausting."
Jiang Mingchuan put his hands on the handrail, gasped, and said, "Fortunately, our dormitory is on the third floor. I finally understand the pain of those who live on the seventh floor. I haven't climbed that high for a long time."
Song Xu took the key and opened the door, and looked around: "It should be because I haven't been in the mood recently, it's a bit gray." He entered the door, went to the bathroom first, took a rag, and wiped the tables and chairs in the living room. , "Mingchuan, take a few pieces of paper to dry the chair and sit down. I'll get a mop to mop the living room. Well, if it's too hot, you can open the door too. The living room has north-south convection. The weather is not so hot today. .”
Sometimes Jiang Mingchuan felt that Song Xu was really a wonderful person. Even if he was in a bad mood, he still couldn't tolerate a little dust in his eyes. He took a rag and wiped the balcony up and down. The weather was really good today. The wind was blowing in gusts, and there was no heat. It was very pleasant. When Jiang Mingchuan washed the rag and hung it on the railing of the balcony, Song Xu was already satisfied Lie down on the clean and dry floor, eyes closed.Jiang Mingchuan left his slippers outside the balcony and felt quite comfortable walking on the cold floor. He sat next to Song Xu and looked at Song Xu's face. Looking carefully, I found that Song Xu's eyelashes were also quite long. The light passed through the eyelashes and cast a shadow on Song Xu's eyes. Song Xu seemed to relax. The floor was cold, and Jiang Mingchuan was not sure if Song Xu wanted to sleep. I still reminded him, "Song Xu, if you want to sleep, you can sleep on the bench. You will catch a cold if you sleep on the floor."
"I didn't sleep, don't worry, I just want to lie down." Song Xu didn't open his eyes, "When I lived here as a child, I liked to walk on the ground with bare feet. I can sleep all afternoon without having to turn on the fan, and when I wake up, my grandma has dried the sugar water, so I’m still very happy when I think about it.”
"Do you miss your grandparents?" Jiang Mingchuan asked.
"Yes, suddenly I miss them very much." Song Xu opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, as if he was talking to Jiang Mingchuan, but also as if he was recalling himself, "In fact, Song Yu and I are not the same, I am here My parents picked me up after I lived in elementary school, and Song Yu stayed with me for the last year."
"At that time, my dad insisted on going to the big city, thinking that he could make some achievements. My mother just graduated a few years ago, but she couldn't hold him back. One year after giving birth to me, she entrusted me to my grandparents and followed me. Dad went to Shenzhen, and then Song Yu was born, and stayed with them for another two years. After they came back, they stayed in Ningcheng to do business, and my mother went back to the original school to teach. The business is up, it sounds pretty good, doesn't it?"
"Then why don't you take you back when you come back." Jiang Mingchuan grasped the point, "It's four years at most."
Song Xu smiled and closed his eyes again.
"Because I beat him."
Jiang Mingchuan felt a chill for no reason, and Song Xu said to himself, "Of course, no one dared to tell me that, but adults always think that children can't remember things when they were young, and I turned out to be listening It's been a whole journey." Song Xu opened his eyes again, sat up, and faced Jiang Mingchuan, "You may not understand it very well, but most of us here are very trustworthy. Go to a fortune teller, a famous gentleman can earn a building just by telling someone's future."
"My dad didn't have fighting spirit for a long time after he came back from Shenzhen, so my mother took him to tell his fortune." Song Xu smiled, "The fortune teller told him that although my dad didn't have the fate of being rich and powerful, he was still a rich man." A man of wealth, but because he needs to consume a lot of luck to have his first child, everything goes wrong for him. Fortunately, the second child is born every so often. Song Yu is a lucky person , The past few years have given me a lot of luck, and my dad can now walk back to his path."
"According to this fortune teller, why doesn't your father continue to venture out?" Jiang Mingchuan said angrily.
Song Xu smiled, "You know that people are very complicated. My parents are educated people, and I have doubts about these things. His fighting spirit at that time could not be recovered by saying a few words, but he did. After returning to Ningcheng, after the fortune-telling, things went smoothly, and he became more and more convinced." Song Xu tapped Jiang Mingchuan's knee lightly, "The career just started, and there was a lump in his heart. They didn’t take me back, and I can’t even remember the number of times I came to see me. After that, my grandparents got sick one after another, and they left for a few months, so I went back home.”
Jiang Mingchuan snorted, and Song Xu patted his thigh, "His feelings for me have always been complicated. I know he cares about me and loves me. When I was doing fortune-telling, my husband told him that I was his career." After the source of the unhappiness, he never asked again if I would always restrain him, maybe it was because he didn’t believe it, maybe it was because he loved me and couldn’t bear to ask. But he couldn’t get over that level in his heart. When he was a child, he treated me Always indifferent, he often hugged Song Yu, but in my memory he never hugged me, I used to think it was because Song Yu was smarter, better looking, and smarter, and then I found out in the words of the adults No, it turns out he was afraid of me."
Jiang Mingchuan didn't know what to say, he couldn't understand the reason, and he didn't understand this kind of thinking, but he only knew that Song Xu must have suffered a lot of grievances when he was a child.He was very distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort Song Xu. Song Xu seemed to have opened up the conversation, "Actually, after going to high school, it was much better. After many years, I gradually let go of it, but he started to have a new heart." Thought, because it is for business, he always depends on the sky to eat, and he has seen too many family members struggling in various attempts, and getting older, he especially hopes that we will not work as hard as him, becoming doctors and civil servants Being a teacher is fine, and there is a career that guarantees income in drought and flood.”
"Song Yu was very clever at that time. He didn't know that he liked to make jade, but his grades were very good, and his personality couldn't stand the physique of a civil servant. Then he said on my father's birthday that he would become a doctor. Well, I can pass the exam anyway, "
When my dad was happy, he said, "I'll tell you what the fortune teller meant when he said you were a lucky person. It turned out that he wanted to be a doctor. It's very good. The doctor accumulates good deeds and good fortune. It's a good thing. Dad supports you."
Song Xu smiled and shook his head, "Then he looked at me, expecting me to say something good. At that time," he sighed, "I was ridiculed and isolated because of some things, so I really didn't have the mood to flatter him .My mother came out to smooth things over, saying that Xu’er would just come back and become a civil servant, and he would have a house and a car, and your father would just wait to have a grandson.”
"I have no objection." Song Xu leaned on the coffee table, "It's the first time I found my dad so happy after hearing these words, I didn't want to spoil his interest, so I nodded."
"Then do you really want to be a civil servant?" Jiang Mingchuan asked,
Song Xu avoided his gaze unnaturally, and looked at him again, "This is the best choice, not just because of my dad. At least I haven't rejected it yet."
"Then why do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"Graduate study is a must, Ah Chuan. Now that your academic qualifications have depreciated, do you think that you don't look at your academic qualifications if you are physically fit? Even if you take the exam, you will have many more opportunities, not to mention seeing more of the world."
Jiang Mingchuan didn't ask any more questions. Some things can be done now, so take your time.He suddenly laughed, opened his hands, and said to Song Xu, "If you're still in a bad mood, I can give you a loving hug."
Song Xu laughed, thinking that Jiang Mingchuan was really funny, probably because he didn't want to think about it too much, he was quite understanding, he also opened his hands, "Then hug me."
He thought Jiang Mingchuan was joking, but he didn't expect Jiang Mingchuan to rush over and hug him so tightly that his body froze subconsciously. Jiang Mingchuan said in his ear, "It's okay, you can hug him for as long as you want, don't be unhappy , be happy all the time, there will always be someone who will love you unconditionally, trust me."
It’s very warm. His memories of being hugged are all in this old house. It’s like going back to the time when his grandparents hugged him. I feel that I can relax and don’t have to think so much. Why did I feel wronged all of a sudden? Well, he unconsciously wrapped his hands around Jiang Mingchuan's back, leaned his head on Jiang Mingchuan's shoulder, and closed his eyes. Jiang Mingchuan also smelled very good and felt very comfortable.
The wind blew in, and Song Xu suddenly became sleepy. The tight strings loosened, and drowsiness spread. When his mind was still conscious, Song Xu thought, if Jiang Mingchuan liked boys, it would be great.
