Chapter 402, making up for the gap in the chapter
After school ended in the afternoon, a group of children that Qiao Minglang had picked up by car came back.
The school and work unit had a three-day holiday on Ching Ming Festival, and after six o'clock in the afternoon, all the cousins and sisters-in-law came back from get off work.Because they had to go back to their hometown in a hurry, they didn't cook dinner at home. They ate at a restaurant on the way back, and then the family continued to drive on the road.
It had been raining on the way back, and when it got dark, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. It was difficult for the car to go on a rainy day. Their car drove very slowly, nearly an hour slower than the originally expected time to return to the town.Fortunately, when they returned to the town, the rain gradually subsided, and there was still a little drizzle.
The roads in the town and the village have been repaired in the past few years. Even in rainy days, they will not be muddy and the car can drive across.
By the time the group of them got home, it was already past nine or ten o'clock, and several children had already fallen asleep in the car.
"Oh, you're finally back. It's raining so hard, and we were worried that you might be delayed on the way." Mrs. Qiao felt relieved when she saw a group of children and grandchildren coming back from her family. , "If I had known about me and your father, I would have asked you to come back tomorrow morning, so as not to have to drive back in the middle of the night."
"Mom, we have nothing to do, but the car is driving slower and we are coming back later." Qiao Mingshan knew that his parents were worried about them, so he said a few words to reassure them.Chen Mingzhu got out of the car with her sleeping son in her arms, talked to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then went back to sleep with her son in her arms.
After riding all the way in the car, even Qiao Conglin, who was usually the most noisy, couldn't make a fuss anymore. He hugged his grandpa's thigh and looked listless.Uncle Qiao patted his eldest grandson's head, and seeing his listless appearance, he was very distressed, and he took his eldest grandson to bite one good grandson.
After driving the car back to his own yard and parking it, Qiao Minglang told his younger brothers and sisters to go home first. He went over to say hello to his grandfather, and said hello to his uncles and aunts before heading back home.
It was already midnight when the group of them returned home, and the family packed up their things again, and it was already twelve o'clock when they went to bed.
The next day was Qingming Festival, and they had to get up early to prepare things for ancestor worship. Fortunately, his uncle and aunt had already prepared these things for them in advance, and they just needed to carry them up the mountain.
Fortunately, the rain was not heavy this day, and it was drizzling. However, after the heavy rain yesterday, the road up the mountain was not very easy.
Every year at this time, every household in the village will go up the mountain to sweep graves, and there are more people on the mountain than usual.
It took a day to worship the ancestors, and the group of them stayed in their hometown for two days, and only set off back to the city on the third day.The three-day Qingming holiday is over, the adults in the family have to go to work, and the children are all sent to school. Originally, Qiao Minglang planned to stay in Jiangcheng for two more days, but every day he received a text message from someone saying that he missed him. So he had no choice but to book a plane back to the capital that afternoon.
As soon as he got off the plane, he received a call from Zhou Xing, and he was a little surprised when he heard that the man said he would drive to pick him up.
Follow someone's instructions on the phone to find out, and sure enough, he saw his own car parked there, and Zhou Xing drove his car to pick him up.
Seeing the young man walking towards him, Zhou Xingcai hung up the call, got out of the car and gave the young man a hug, and helped the young man carry his luggage into the rear compartment, and the two of them opened the door and got on the car.Qiao Minglang looked at the driver and asked, "Why did you come to pick me up?"
"Didn't you say that the plane is coming back today?" Zhou Xing went out skillfully turning the steering wheel, controlling the steering wheel with one hand, reaching out to hold the young man's hand, and said as a matter of course: "Say it again, why don't I come to pick you up?" Is something wrong?"
Okay, nothing wrong, Qiao Minglang just wanted to ask if this person is busy, why is he still free to pick him up.
As if knowing what the young man was thinking, Zhou Xing said with a smile: "No matter how busy you are, I can spare some time to pick you up. Besides, it's already so late, I don't feel relieved to let you go back by car alone."
"Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"
"Well, a little bit, just find something to eat."
He has been busy for the past few days when he went back, and spent half of his time on planes and cars. Compared with eating, Qiao Minglang actually wanted to go home quickly, take a shower, change clothes, and then go to bed.Seeing the tiredness on the young man's face, Zhou Xing knew that the young man must be tired after sitting on the plane for so long, so he suggested: "Let's find a restaurant to pack something and go back to eat. I remember going back to a store that sells seafood porridge. I'll go and pack a seafood porridge for you, and I'll also pack a few side dishes for us to eat when we go home."
"Well, good." Qiao Minglang thought it would be best to take it home and eat it.
On the way back, there were many supper stalls, Zhou Xing stopped the car on the side of the road, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car to go shopping.Qiao Minglang thought that this person was a public figure, so he stopped him and asked, "Do you want me to go down and buy it?"
"No, it's okay, you just sit in the car and wait for me, I'll come over when I buy it." Zhou Xing asked the young man to let go of his hand, opened the car door and got out of the car, and went to the restaurant on the opposite road.
At this time, there were a lot of people eating supper. He waited in the store for a while before he got the order. After paying, he carried a big bag of things back to their car and handed the things to the driver sitting in the passenger seat. The young man took it, and he continued to drive home.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, the two of them took the elevator upstairs and returned to the house where they lived.
As soon as he walked in the door, Qiao Minglang looked at the house that had obviously been tidied up, and he had a very subtle feeling in his heart, which was different from the feeling he had many times when he returned home from the outside. Man, that man had been waiting for him to come back, and it made him feel very different.
Zhou Xing, who came in after him, saw the young man standing at the door and didn't leave. He felt a little strange, and asked, "Why are you standing here without moving?"
"Did you step on it because the floor was polished too brightly? Hehe, this is the fruit of my labor for half a day, isn't it? Do you think I'm a bit talented in this area?"
In fact, during the few days when the young man was not at home, only Zhou Xing was at home by himself, and he came back very late every day, throwing all the changed clothes everywhere, and not washing the pots and dishes and garbage in the kitchen , the house is in a mess.As soon as he received the news that the young man was coming back, he immediately flew back to clean the house, washing the dirty clothes and all the pots and pans in the kitchen.
However, Qiao Minglang didn't know about this. He just thought that someone had suddenly become more diligent, and he came here to ask him for credit, "Well, that's good. From now on, I will entrust all the work at home to you."
"Okay, no problem!" Wait, what did he promise just now?After realizing what he had promised, Zhou Xing almost slapped himself and let him talk nonsense.
But now that he has just agreed to his wife's affairs, he can't just say no, it seems that he is... or something.
Manly man, of course he must keep his word!
"Do you want to take a shower first or come and eat first?" Zhou Xing put the bag in his hand on the table and asked the young man who had pulled the suitcase into the bedroom.
Qiao Minglang opened the box and took out the clothes inside. It had been raining for the past few days, and the clothes he changed out hadn't been washed, so he thought about taking them back here and washing them together.Hearing Zhou Xing's words, he responded: "I'll take a bath first, you eat first, I'll come back later."
"It's okay, you go take a shower first, I'll wait for you." Zhou Xing saw the young man bring out a stack of clothes, he took the clothes from the young man's hand, and asked, "Are you going to wash it?"
"Well, you put it in the basket outside the washing machine, and I'll wash it myself tomorrow." Qiao Minglang handed the dirty clothes to Zhou Xing, took out the other clean clothes, and put the box behind the door. There were several boxes, two of which were his own, two big ones and one small box brought by Zhou Xing.
In addition to his own things, there are other people's things in this room, but looking at these extra things, he doesn't feel that his own space has been invaded by others, but he has a faint feeling in his heart. , the missing part came back, the person he had been waiting for for many years came back.
Zhou Xing took the clothes and put them in the basket next to the washing machine, only to remember that he still had some clothes in the washing machine and forgot to take them out to dry, so he quickly opened the lid, took out all the clothes inside, and took them to the balcony outside air.
There was a sound of splashing water in the bathroom, and the young man standing under the shower closed his eyes, letting the water spray down his face.
In fact, he has been waiting for Zhou Xing to come back all these years. In many dreams, he dreamed that that person appeared, but he always told him that it was just a dream after waking up from the dream.He had expected countless times, but in the end these expectations were all in vain, so until the person in his dream actually appeared in front of him, he couldn't believe it, the person he was waiting for really came back .
And these days, their day and night together are telling him that that person is back...
When he went out after taking a shower, he saw Zhou Xing's flustered face and didn't know what he was doing. Qiao Minglang walked out with a towel in his hand while wiping his hair, and asked, "Did you just come out?" What did you do?"
"No, I didn't do anything." Zhou Xing chuckled, thinking that it's a good thing he moved a little faster, otherwise the young man would have discovered him.Seeing the young man wiping his hair with a towel, he asked, "Do you want to blow your hair?"
