one punch

Chapter 78 End Chapter·Thank you for your company

There is an understanding mother, Jiang Ran's way out of the closet was smooth, and his father's temper was just a matter of one night, so he went to the street the next morning to buy him fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast.

Although he didn't make it clear whether he would accept it or not, he didn't tell him to get out of the house. In short, everything at home was as usual.

As soon as Dou Tianxiao heard that Jiang Ran had made it public, he knew that his family couldn't hide it either. After all, Teacher Jiang and his aunt had the kind of relationship that they had to carry a basket when buying vegetables.

So he decided to be frank and lenient, and voluntarily admitting mistakes can reduce the anger value of his uncle and aunt a little.

The Jiang family are all gentlemen who talk but don't do anything, but it's different for Dou Tianxiao.

Auntie was making dumplings, and a rolling pin was thrown directly on his back.

Dou Tianxiao was still wearing a white T-shirt that day, and a bloodstain was printed on the underside of the shoulder blade soon.

Dou Tianxiao gritted his back molars and remained silent, picked up the rolling pin on the ground and handed it back to his aunt.

When she raised the rolling pin for the second time, she saw that Dou Tianxiao's brows were furrowed and tears were still on his cheeks, and she immediately softened her heart.

My aunt has no culture. In her view, passing on the family line is the foundation of a family and an obligation, so even if she is soft-hearted and distressed, she still swears, "Fuck you, if you want to be with him, you will never be together in this life." Into the house!"

Dou Tianxiao's stubbornness came up, he pouted his buttocks and packed his luggage, Ye Xi persuaded him and was scolded by his aunt.

Not much cash on him, and considering that he might have to stay outside for a long time, Dou Tianxiao found a small hotel in the alley.

At first glance, it looks like the door face of a haunted house, but when you walk in, you will find that it is a haunted house.

It was dark and damp, and the lights in the corridors were in disrepair and flickered.

The uncle behind the reception desk was smoking a cigarette, with his thick legs resting on the table, emitting a strong smell of feet.

"Alone?" the uncle asked.

Dou Tianxiao: "Well, how much is it for one night?"

"two hundred."

So expensive!

But it was getting late, so Dou Tianxiao had no choice but to make up for it first, and planned to find a cheaper one tomorrow morning.

The uncle took out a card from the table and handed it to him.

A small card the size of a business card, printed with inferior color inkjet, shows a woman with heavy makeup lying on the bed in a very enchanting posture, wearing only a bra.

On the top of the card is a series of phone numbers and six big characters: sister come. door. service. service

The uncle bared his big yellow teeth and said meaningfully: "If you need any service, just call."

Omg!

Prostitution!

Dou Tianxiao didn't even remember how he ran out of that small hotel, his mind was full of "Oh no, I know their secret, will someone kill me to silence them", until he ran downstairs in the community and saw When I saw the bright lights, I was relieved.

There is no place to stay in such a huge city, and a feeling of desolation arises spontaneously.

He vaguely saw a figure dangling on the balcony on the eighth floor downstairs in the community, probably his uncle was feeding water on the soil.

In the security room, an uncle who often helped him receive the courier recognized him and beckoned him to come in and sit for a while.

In the middle of the night, two lonely men chatted while drinking tea.

Dou Tianxiao's schoolbag was not pulled properly, revealing a corner of his clothes.

"Run away from home?" the uncle asked.

Dou Tianxiao was surprised, "How do you know?"

The uncle immediately put on an expression of knowing the way: "I've seen you in this situation a lot. The bastard in the second unit who refused to learn the piano ran away from home every three days. His father even called the police a few days ago. He has to adjust the surveillance , I didn’t sleep all night—what’s the big deal in your family?”

Dou Tianxiao scratched his fingernails, "My family disagrees with dating."

"Hey," the uncle smiled, "I thought it was a big deal, you just sit here for a while, lest your parents find you and find no one, they must be crazy."

Dou Tianxiao couldn't ask for more.

Chatting and chatting, the uncle felt thirsty, clicked on the cached video in MP4, and enthusiastically handed Dou Tianxiao a handful of melon seeds.

The two of them turned on the air conditioner, ate melon seeds, and watched three episodes of family ethics dramas about dog blood and cheating.

When the uncle accused the male lead of being a bad guy for the eighth time, Dou Tianxiao's cell phone rang.

My aunt shouted at the top of her voice: "Dou Tianxiao, where did you die again! What time is it! Check what time it is! Hurry up and go back to sleep!"

Auntie's way of apologizing is usually to shout, for example: come out to eat!Come back to sleep!Wash the fruit!

Before Dou Tianxiao left, the uncle still enthusiastically handed him a magazine——"Adolescent Mental Health Education"

"Were you a teacher before?" Dou Tianxiao couldn't help asking.

"No, my son is." The uncle shook the melon seeds in another magazine, "I have another one here, you can take it and read it together, it will be beneficial."

——"Adolescent Mental Health Education: Hold Your Hot Temper"

My aunt is illiterate, and Dou Tianxiao doesn't expect her to get rid of her hot temper one day.

This is a protracted battle, and the comparison is who is more cruel than whom.

Judging from this rhythm, my aunt must be the one who surrendered first, because she has been since she was a child.

But soon, my aunt's attention was attracted by the thing that fell from the sky-the rural homestead was going to be demolished.

The government offered two compensation plans for the demolition, one is 1:1 compensation housing, in exchange for a duplex commercial housing in the town, the commercial housing is still under construction, and the housing can be handed over after one year.

The other is monetary compensation. The old couple took time to go back to their hometown and asked the demolition office, and the old house could be exchanged for more than 100 million yuan.

My aunt was so happy that night that she didn't close her eyes, thinking about how to properly arrange such a huge sum of money.

After the old man died, the house was adopted under his uncle's name, but he didn't forget the old man's instructions in the hospital before his death, and he announced it in front of the whole family during dinner that night.

Dou Tianxiao was so flattered that he was unable to speak for a long time.

This is... a million or so that fell from the sky?

Get rich!

If it is said that renting out a new house is a long-term benefit, if you choose to take the money directly, you can enjoy the benefit immediately, but it is a pity that the housing price in this town has risen again in a few years.

What a difficult choice.

In order to please his uncle and aunt, he gave up the right to choose, and he didn't even think about taking advantage of the house. It was enough to eat and drink for nothing at his uncle's house for so many years.

The family thought about it for several days, and finally the uncle made a decision, "Take the money."

They agreed to divide the more than 100 million yuan into three parts, and use a fraction to support Ye Xi's business, 50 yuan to repay the family loan, and leave the other 50 yuan to Dou Tianxiao.

"If you go to work in other places after graduation, we don't care whether you use the money to buy a car or start a small business. We will not interfere. After the government sends it out, I will directly put it on your card. You Keep it safe, don't waste it, you know?" said the uncle.

"In the future, will I not be able to live here..." Dou Tianxiao asked weakly.

"What are you thinking, silly boy." Uncle touched his forehead, "There will always be a place for you in this family, come back whenever you want."

Dou Tianxiao was admitted to a sports academy in S City, and the courses were all related to sports training.

The school is more than 100 kilometers away from home, and it takes five or six hours to go back and forth by bus. Even if it takes more than half an hour by high-speed rail, it is naturally impossible to go home.

So he and Jiang Ran started a bitter long-distance relationship again. Fortunately, life is no longer stretched, you come and go on weekends, and save a lot of high-speed rail tickets and movie tickets.

On this day, Ye Xi found the dating photos of the two of them in Moments, eating, going to the movies, holding hands, and taking nine consecutive shots.

I couldn't bear it anymore, and commented: Come back and help deliver the goods when you have time.

After the jewelry store, he opened a new grocery store specializing in daily necessities. For this purpose, he rented a warehouse of more than 200 square meters. Usually, his parents would help with ordering and delivery in the store, and his business was booming.

Just tiring.

Immediately afterwards, Dou Tianxiao, the heartless person, posted a new group photo with the text: Second Valentine's Day with the breeder. (＾－＾)V

Jiang Ran is a group photo of the same style but in different poses. The background should be in a tourist attraction. I don’t know who helped to take the photo, but it actually looks like an artistic photo.

Dou Tianxiao lay on Jiang Ran's back, holding an ice cream in his hand.

The two people under the sun smiled brightly.

Jiang Ran's love here is more subtle: Orz, my dog ​​is really fat.

I can fuck you.

Ye Xi kicked over the bowl of dog food - blocking the two people's circle of friends together.

Time flies, and the end of the year is approaching in a blink of an eye.

Dou Tianxiao received a message on WeChat.

Teacher Jiang: Xiaoxiao, when is the holiday?

Dou Tianxiao: The day after tomorrow, what's wrong, Mr. Jiang?

Teacher Jiang: It's nothing. If you have time, come and have a meal. You haven't eaten at our house for a long time.

Since coming out of the closet, he has indeed not been to Jiang's house for dinner in almost half a year, because Jiang's father has never been able to accept it, so he tries to avoid it as much as possible.

Jiang Ran received a screenshot of Dou Tianxiao's chat, and called him back directly, concisely: "Do you want to go home with me?"

"I want to... Of course I want to."

Dou Tianxiao often imagines that when he enters Jiang Ran's house again, he may be swung away by Jiang's father with a broom, or see Jiang's mother with a cold face, never expecting that he will be invited over...

A few days before the New Year's Day holiday, he spent a lot of money to buy a set of skin care products in the mall, and prepared a bottle of red wine for Jiang's father, but when that day came, he went back and forth several times downstairs at Jiang Ran's house and still couldn't find it. Dare to go upstairs.

The palms of my hands were densely filled with cheat sheets, such as "It's been a long time since I saw you, Mr. Jiang is young again, what are the tips for taking care of yourself", "Grandpa and grandma are in good health recently", "I don't know if this wine suits my uncle's taste" some type of.

"Have you recited it all?" Jiang Ran couldn't help laughing.

Dou Tianxiao rolled his eyes and thought about his lines, "Think about it for me again, is there anything to add."

"Relax a bit, my dad can't eat you, and I, if you can't answer, I will answer for you, besides, my mother asked you to go home for dinner, isn't it obvious enough?"

"You said your dad will hit me soon, what should I say to make the atmosphere less awkward?" Dou Tianxiao thought for a while, "The strength is just right, do it again?"

"..."

Jiang Ran's house was bought on the sixth floor. Today, Dou Tianxiao took him up the stairs and practiced a line of dialogue every step of the way.

At the door of the house, when Jiang Ran was about to take out the keys, Dou Tianxiao stopped him again, "No, no, I'm a little dizzy now, let's go down and review the question just now."

Jiang Ran was both helpless and funny, never seen him take the college entrance examination so seriously, "Success, this is the last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, half of his head poked out from the crack of the door, "What are you talking about?"

"Dad!" Jiang Ran was taken aback by him, and squeezed his boyfriend's fingertips back.

Dou Tianxiao was so nervous that he called out "Dad" and bowed with a flushed face, "Hi Uncle! Long time no see!"

"Hey, such a great gift?" Wang Yingsong smiled and handed him a pair of slippers, "Come in, what are you doing standing at the door for a long time without coming in?"

"We, we..." Dou Tianxiao signaled Jiang Ran with his eyes.

It’s over.

There is no such problem in the draft.

"Are you a little nervous?" Wang Yingsong rushed to answer again.

"Hmm..." Looking at his kind face, Dou Tianxiao heaved a sigh of relief.

A head poked out from the kitchen, "Are you hungry? You can eat any fruit on the table, and I'm still making dumplings. Wait a moment."

"Oh good." Dou Tianxiao nodded.

Wang Yingsong turned and walked into the kitchen, his voice was loud, and the kitchen door was not fully closed, "Xiaoxiao called my dad just now" came from the kitchen.

Dou Tianxiao twisted his fingers, his face was flushed, he was neither sitting nor standing, and he turned around several times, wanting to bump his head to death.

"Watch some TV, I'm so dizzy." Jiang Ran pulled him to sit down.

Dou Tianxiao looked at the closed kitchen door every two seconds. After repeated several times, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said in a low voice, "Do you think I should go in and help them make dumplings or wontons? Are they here?" Test me?"

Jiang Ran chuckled, "It's not a unit interview, what is the test for you?"

"Test whether I am diligent at home or not, and whether I am a qualified object." Dou Tianxiao said.

"And then, will you be paid?" Jiang Ran handed him half a peeled apple, "Can you press your little heart back? Come on, open your mouth."

Dou Tianxiao lowered his head and took a bite, feeling too guilty just sitting there like this, so he walked to the kitchen with hands and feet.

The smell of the food was getting stronger and stronger, and when I was almost at the door, I heard a sentence floating inside, "Hey, Lao Qin, it's me, haha, let me ask you, how much is the red envelope for the change fee for the daughter-in-law? ?”

Wang Yingsong supported the countertop with one hand, turned around and took a look, and closed the kitchen door as if nothing had happened.

Dou Tianxiao was dumbfounded, his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground.

He just...became the Jiang family's daughter-in-law?

At the dinner table that night, Dou Tianxiao not only received a thick red envelope, but also a bunch of keys from Jiang's mother, with a cute plush puppy hanging on it.

Dou Tianxiao recognized that it was the door key of Jiang Ran's house.

"I can come back anytime I want to come back in the future." Jiang Qing smiled with eyebrows curved, "Take this place as my home."

"He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all." Jiang Ran said with a smile.

Dou Tianxiao kicked him under the table, and took the bunch of keys in trepidation, with mixed feelings in his heart, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

"Return Teacher Jiang?" Jiang Ran bumped his thigh under the table.

"Oh no," Dou Tianxiao grinned, revealing two iconic little canine teeth, "Thank you mom."

"What about me?" Wang Yingsong looked at him expectantly.

Dou Tianxiao's nose was sour, "Thank you, Dad."

"The voice isn't loud enough, I'm reluctant." Wang Yingsong said.

Dou Tianxiao blushed, stood up from his seat, bowed deeply and shouted: "Thank you! Thank you! Dad! Dad!"

Wang Yingsong was happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

This little psycho is so cute.

After dinner, Jiang Ran took her boyfriend downstairs for a stroll.

New Year's Day is an auspicious and festive day. Walking along the street, you can see arches at the entrances of several big hotels.

"Congratulations to xx and xx on the wedding, a happy marriage for a hundred years", "X's house baby banquet" and so on.

Holding the puppy on the keychain, Dou Tianxiao recalled many past events.

One year in the cold winter, in order to avoid his mother's stick, he lay in the cabbage field and his limbs were frozen stiff, but the picture was still clear, as if it just happened yesterday.

Unknowingly, 11 years have passed.

When I was a child, I always envied Jiang Ran for having a normal and complete family, and wished I could follow him home every day.

Never thought that God would fulfill his wish in such a way.

As I walked, I laughed out loud.

"Stupid?" Jiang Ran turned his head and flicked his forehead.

The wind is a bit cool at night.

Jiang Ran took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it around Dou Tianxiao's neck twice, then took his cool right hand into his pocket, interlocking his fingers.

"Bam—"

With a muffled sound, a cluster of dazzling rays of light exploded above their heads, turning into countless sparks, illuminating the dark night sky.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

"Thanks for what?"

"Stand up and speak for me in that small supermarket. If I hadn't met you, I don't know what my life would be like."

"What's the use of talking, let's take some practical actions."

Dou Tianxiao turned his head and kissed him on the cheek.

"Not enough." Jiang Ran shook his fingers.

Dou Tianxiao touched his cheek, sucked heavily on his wet lips, "Mua~"

Jiang Ran turned around and walked back, "It's so cold, I can't bear it anymore, let's go back to bed."

Dou Tianxiao turned to look at him, his thoughts flying wildly.

This couldn't be more implied.

Jiang Ran also looked at him, "That's right, it's exactly what you think, go back, take a shower, lie down, next year at this time, the LED electronic screen in the hotel will read 'Jiangfu Dog Baby Banquet', let me think about life." How about a few puppies."

Dou Tianxiao couldn't help laughing, and raised his knee to press Jiang Ran's buttocks, "Are you sick? Why didn't you give birth to puppies?"

Jiang Ran hooked his neck and pulled him into his arms, "I'll prove it to you on the bed later."
