Ji Linqiu opened the door, and his eyes fell on the stainless steel basin held by the two.

    "If I say no, are you going to go back with this big pot of stuffing?"

    Jiang Wang didn't change his face: "No, I'll take it to Aunt Wang downstairs."

    "Capable." Ji Linqiu laughed and scolded, stepping on flip-flops and turning around: "You go downstairs first, I'll change clothes."

    "Do you still need to change clothes?" Jiang Wang said casually: "How long have you known each other? Come on."

    After the summer vacation, Ji Linqiu didn't need to wear a pair of Sven teachers at all times. She wore a loose white T-shirt at home, her hair was fluffy and her feet were bare, and she was holding a glass of ice in her hand. of Coke.

    It is estimated that some people believe that he just graduated from college, and his body is full of greenness.

    Ji Linqiu raised her eyebrows, taking Jiang Wang's words as a compliment, and went back to the house and turned off the radio to accompany them to make dumplings.

    The child is curious about holding a large pot of cabbage and mince.

    "Don't Mr. Ji usually watch TV?"

    "Don't look," Ji Linqiu walked forward with her pockets in her pocket: "It's boring."

    Peng Xingwang had never seen the teacher's style before, so he was a little dazed.

    Jiang Wang was much more relaxed, he felt more comfortable than usual when he met him at school.

    "Don't watch a movie or something?"

    "Occasionally watch the office for a while after overtime, and I just want to sleep when I get home." Ji Linqiu yawned: "Teacher training will be required for half a month in two days, so I can't sleep."

    The child is almost a year old when he starts school. The first time he saw Teacher Ji yawning, his eyes were round for a long time.

    The three of them washed their hands and sat down again, the two of them sat on the sidelines and waited to join hands, Ji Linqiu propped his head up and looked at the dough.

    "How?"

    Jiang Wang's expression stiffened: "You don't either?"

    "This is not to join in the fun," Ji Linqiu saw that his computer was on, got up and watched the video: "Oh, probably."

    I came back and twisted a piece of skin casually, tried to knead the stuffing into the innermost part, and made eight pleats.

    Although it is not as good-looking as the pan-fried dumplings sold on the street, it is much more decent than the previous one.

     

     

    Jiang Wang was really compared, he sat next to him and watched for a while, and snorted: "Is that what I do?"

    Ji Linqiu glanced at Peng Xingwang who was holding dough and pinching dinosaurs, and said with a half-smile, "I'll take a look when you pack one."

    Jiang Wang rolled the dough in front of him and squeezed the stuffing, half of the stuffing popped out before the pleats were finished.

    "The grip is wrong," Ji Linqiu smacked his mouth with floured fingertips: "It's tight here, loose next to it."

    Then, like the subject, verb, and object of the six tenses, tell him clearly the essentials before and after.

    The two of them gradually became familiar with each other. There was "Approaching Science" in the room, and there was also a long row of velociraptor Tyrannosaurus rex kneaded by dough on the coffee table.

    Jiang Wang did not expect that the two men could make dumplings so well, and he was busy and had time to watch Ji Linqiu.

    I couldn't help but say that I was beautiful.

    Men are naturally overly narcissistic creatures, and they have no guilt when comparing themselves with Wu Yanzu Jincheng Wu, and it is difficult to admit that others are more handsome than themselves.

    Ji Linqiu's eye tail lines stretch, and there is a sense of charm with a light blink.

    Browbones are just right, thin lips, pale skin and jade white,

    It's more than enough to make a debut as a star.

    Four drawers of newly wrapped dumplings are cooked in one cage and fried in one cage, and the remaining one person and one drawer are taken back to the refrigerator to freeze, which can last for two or three days.

    The child was also waiting to be hungry, and the vinegar didn't care to bury his head to eat, Jiang Wang watched it for a long time, still reluctant.

    Ji Linqiu saw something, and tentatively asked when they parted: "Why does Brother Jiang seem to be in a bad mood?"

    Jiang Wang smiled: "The child's mother is coming back, maybe I plan to pick him up."

    "Not necessarily." Ji Linqiu said calmly: "Children will choose the life they like more."

    "What's wrong with going with my mother?" Jiang Wang didn't think too much: "I've been married for more than a year, and I think it's safe to come."

    Ji Linqiu has been teaching for nearly seven years and has witnessed too many things. At this moment, she only slowly shook her head and waved goodbye.

    After Jiang Wang closed the door, he looked at Peng Xingwang who was watching TV, and walked into the balcony after a while to close the door.

    Then called Du Wenjuan.

    He listened to a lot of news playing cards with people these days, and it took a little effort to get the new mobile phone number of the child's mother.

    Du Wenjuan married a man who worked in a public institution. It took four hours to take the green train from other provinces. She also heard about Jiang Wang from relatives and friends in City A.

    Jiang Wang had almost no contact with this woman when he became an adult.

    The woman called him several times when she got old, probably as if she was looking for a retirement home, but Jiang Wang responded indifferently and simply, and had no intention of getting closer.

    I wasn't there when I was a kid, so I don't need to show up again in twenty years.

    His breathing slowed to a minimum as he waited for the call to be answered.

    My heart beats, and I feel uneasy for a long time.

    This is probably the first time in his own life that he took the initiative to contact his biological mother.

    "Hello? Hello?" A young female voice came from the opposite side, she heard that she had just turned 30: "Is it a typo?"

    "No," Jiang Wang said calmly, "I'm Jiang Wang, and I'm taking care of Peng Xingwang."

    The woman responded in surprise, with a flustered tone: "Hello, hello, I heard about you from a friend, and I just planned to come back in the next few days."

    "They say you are a relative of the Du family," she said hurriedly, and she didn't know how to express it: "It may also be that there are too many relatives on my parents' side, sorry...I I don't remember very well."

    "You have a grandfather whose family is doing business in Hong Kong and is kind to me." Jiang Wangping said calmly: "They originally asked me to come and see the children when they were on a business trip."

    "But what I saw...not very good. So they kept me in City A to develop business and take care of the children."

    The woman nodded in a panic and said apologetically: "My mother has four or five brothers, I can't tell who is who, but they have always been very kind to me."

    "Please be sure to express my thanks for me, and my lover and I will also thank you in person after coming here." She hesitated for a few seconds, as if she felt that she was not worthy to ask such a question: "Xingwang now... feel better now?"

    Jiang Wang thought for a moment that she was asking about her current situation.

    The man came back to his senses, and was silent for a few seconds before answering: "The second in the class in the final exam, I have gained a lot of weight, very healthy and cheerful."

    He's a good kid.

    When Du Wenjuan received this call, all the dereliction of duty as a mother reappeared in her mind.

    She felt embarrassed and embarrassed to talk to this stranger across from her, but she had to ask him to take care of the child for a few more days.

    "My wife and I bought tickets for July 20th. We will come over after work on Friday. We will contact you when the time comes."

    Jiang Wang responded briefly, and didn't ask until the phone hung up.

    br>

    How are you going to explain to Xingwang?

    The child has always missed you. If we meet, please hug him.

    The woman's mind is on the child, and she does not explore his identity in more detail.

     

    Jiang Wang squatted down like a child, hugging his knees and looking into the dark distance.

    He seemed to be roaming alone in the sea of ​​​​stars before, but suddenly there was a small satellite scurrying around, and the two sat together on the Milky Way to watch the sun.

    Now, the little satellite can finally return to the real harbor.

    Peng Xingwang saw in the living room that both episodes were over, and he didn't wait for Jiang Wang to come back and eat oranges with him.

    The child slipped off the rocking chair and ran to the balcony to find him, but saw the falling shadow of a man hugging his knees and squatting outside the glass partition.

    The moon is high, the sky is dark, and the world is quiet.

    Peng Xingwang can't imagine why an omnipotent person like his brother would be so sad.

    He plucked up his courage and stepped forward, knocked on the door, and walked towards him with a big smile.

    "Brother, there are mosquitoes outside!"

    Jiang Wang's feet were a little numb when he squatted, and he reached out and touched the child's head.

    "Big brother wants to tell you something."

    "Ang?" Peng Xingwang tilted his head: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

    "...not."

    "Your business is losing money, we have to pick up the trash?"

    "...not possible."

    "What's the matter?" The child squeezed his face: "Smile."

    Jiang Wang smiled and slowly reached out to hug him.

    "Good news for you."

    "Your mother is coming back to see you this Friday."

    Peng Xingwang was stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped up.

    "Really!"

    "Is it really mom!!"

    What a little unscrupulous bastard, forget it.

    Jiang Wang led him back, his ears were almost deaf.

    "Is my mother coming back from Hong Kong to see me? She won't stop suddenly on the balcony of our house!"

    "Does she miss me? I haven't seen it in years. Will she confuse me with other children?"

    "Ah bro, I'm going to be so happy tonight that I can't sleep, my face is burning and you touch."

    "You touch!!"

    Big brother tried to control the child.

    "Take you to buy new clothes tomorrow and get a decent haircut."

     "Stop jumping, and then jump downstairs, Aunt Wang, copy the broom and go upstairs to beat you."

    …Do you want to tell him about Du Wenjuan’s remarriage?

    Is it better to hide it and wait until my mother arrives?

    Jiang Wang cursed in his heart while bathing the child whose neck was covered in flour like a mud monkey.

     

    I have to help wipe my ass, why?

    On Friday, the train said it would arrive at 9:30 pm and it might be late. Jiang Wang woke up at 5 am.

      roll.

    Then go to work and feel restless.

    Men are always good at making excuses, pretending to be a conscientious parent and sending messages to Ji Linqiu, who is still in a drowsy state.

    [In the past two days, I hope his mother will come over. Is it convenient for Teacher Ji to accompany him to chat about the child's situation? ]

    The gentle and elegant teacher Ji didn't wake up until 12:30, and it was very late to reply to the news.

    [Come on. ]

    [Find me for help next time, don't pretend, they're all big-tailed wolves. ]

    Ginger Big Tail Wolf was very happy to recognize it.

    [Yes, I'm a little cowardly, you can accompany me to see them these two days, buddy will invite you to drink. ]

    [If you don't drink alcohol, you can help me write eight thousand words of teacher's experience, hand in the WORD document, and send you a text message in the format. ]

    […lines. ]

    Wait until nine o'clock in the evening, two big and one small dressed like dogs and took their seats at the station.

    Peng Xingwang also learned from the TV set, and specially drew a little rainbow card with the words "Welcome Mommy Home".

    Jiang Wang was really embarrassed when he saw the license plate, but he couldn't dissuade him from posting the stars and moon all afternoon, and followed the welcome guest with a stern face.

    It was late and the old train station smelled of dust.

    There are already homeless people dragging cardboard woven bags to find a corner nearby to lie down, and old people are playing spinning tops in a small square nearby.

    Jiang Wang is accustomed to the high-speed rail station airport, and it is hard not to dislike it when he returns to such a place. He starts to fight mosquitoes within ten minutes of welcoming guests.

    Mr. Ji changed back to school again, standing next to the child and chatting with him patiently.

    It wasn't until 9:40 that the middle-aged men and women with suitcases came out in a hurry.

    The woman looked at just thirty-one, and the man was estimated to be close to forty. She was quite dressed, at least much more decent than Peng Jiahui.

    Jiang Wang has never met Du Wenjuan.

    The mother in his memory is a gentle and vague shadow, even the face is not clear enough.

    Twenty-seven years is enough for a person to forget a lot of things.

     

    At this moment, they are just strangers.

    "Stars!"

    "Mom!"

    The child jumped over with a cheer, and was hugged by the woman and rubbed his head.

    "You're so tall, you're a little adult!"

    Jiang Wang was silent and took a step back.

    Ji Linqiu has not passed, giving mother and son sufficient intimate time.

    He clasped his hands, and he had the docile look of an English teacher.

    "Sick of home? Go back and have a look when you have time."

    "I can't go back." The man smiled lightly: "It's a pity."

    Ji Linqiu's eyes changed slightly, and he lightly patted his shoulder.

    People on both sides deliberately saved dinner to this point, and only a little bit on the way.

    Ji Linqiu ordered the restaurant in advance, and ordered a light and nourishing casserole porridge in addition to ordering.

    The man next to Du Wenjuan, surnamed Chang, works at the health bureau in the city.

    "Do you want a drink?" He said attentively, "Both of you have worked hard, thank you for coming to pick us up."

    Jiang Wang looked at the yogurt in Du Wenjuan's cup and motioned the waiter to open two more boxes: "It's too late, let's drink something simple, it's fine."

    Mr. Chang laughed stiffly, sat back and said, "Wenjuan and I are here this time.

     I also thought about looking at the stars. "

    The child raised his head, as if he understood something, and concentrated on eating without asking much.

    Ji Linqiu got up and toasted them all. The husband and wife returned to each other in a hurry, and then began to talk about primary school education in the two cities.

    "Yes, we are also catching up on English over there. Hey, tutoring classes are valuable now."

    "Thank you Mr. Ji for caring so much about our Xingwang-"

    Jiang Wang was heartbroken.

    What is our house, can you come today?

    The woman also knew she was wrong. She kept serving the children at the table, and settled the bill while she was going to the bathroom.

    Jiang Wang didn't stop him, just quietly watched a few of them interact.

    "I have been playing with Xingwang these days," Du Wenjuan got up and filled them with yogurt again, smiling apologetically: "I didn't accompany the child well before, tomorrow I will take him to the playground and zoo. It just so happens that it's summer vacation."

    The child suddenly remembered something.

    "Can I sleep with mom tonight?"

    "Sure."

    "No."

    Jiang Wang said yes without thinking, and raised his head when he heard the objection.

    "The child is already nine years old," Mr. Chang smiled: "Xingxing, you are old enough to learn to sleep by yourself, you know."

    Peng Xingwang seemed to be stabbed, pursed his lips and said, "I just turned eight years old, I usually sleep by myself."

    Du Wenjuan looked at Mr. Chang with disapproval, the latter frowned and shook his head: "You have to be careful, what if you press the child?"

    "Xingxing," the woman bit her lip: "It just happened to be late, and I didn't bring the towel and toothbrush. Mom will pick you up tomorrow morning, okay?"

    Peng Xingwang nodded and continued to eat the last dessert.

    Children eat slowly, Teacher Ji is still drinking porridge, Mr. Chang got up and went out to smoke, leaving a few of them to chat in the room.

    Jiang Wang pretended to go to the bathroom, and went out to smoke after a while.

    "Hello, hard work," Chang Hua shook hands with him in a businesslike manner: "I heard Wenjuan say you are her cousin?"

    "It can't be said," Jiang Wang said casually: "After several blood ties, there is a relationship."

    "Isn't it familiar?" Chang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath, "I made you laugh just now, sorry."

    "But we're all men, you understand," he said in a subtle voice: "Why is this child also her ex-husband's son, too close...

    Jiang Wang smiled: "I understand."

    It is very frustrating.

    "Wenjuan is good everywhere, but she is confused in her work. She told me that she has a son outside a month before her wedding." Chang Hua turned his back to Jiang Wang, rolled his eyes, and put the cigarette on the railing Press off: "The child's father doesn't care, let her worry about it every day."

     "But you don't have to worry, when this child picks us up, I will definitely treat it as a kiss," the middle-aged man said again: "I will arrange a key primary school for him, for sure It's been as good as this."

    Jiang Wangxu hummed and threw the cigarette he just lit into the basin.

    It was eleven o'clock when the two groups parted, and the mother and child were reluctant to part.

    "See you tomorrow," Chang Hua said with a full smile: "Sleep well, Xingxing."

    Jiang Wang pulled the corner of his mouth and carried the child back to the car.

    Ji Linqiu sat in the co-pilot and waited for the car to go far before relaxing.

    He has been quietly adjusting the atmosphere and is now too tired to speak.

    Peng Xingwang stared at the car window to see her mother's figure in the distance, and whispered, "Mum looks good."

    "She used to work hard, and now she finally has a chance to see you," Jiang Wang turned the steering wheel back and said very formulaic: "I have to get up early tomorrow, go home and take a shower and sleep."

    The child kept looking outside and suddenly said, "Brother, you are an adult now, do you still miss your mother?"

    Jiang Wang looked at the vehicle passing by like a meteor in the distance, his voice was very soft: "Yes."

    "Maybe think about it a lot."

    Ji Linqiu laughed, her voice drowsiness: "Only thinking and not wanting, there is no possibility."

    Peng Xingwang heard their conversation and felt that he might not be so ashamed, and it was not ashamed to think about his mother.

    "When I hugged my mother just now, it was like being in heaven," he whispered: "She has such nice hair, and she keeps kissing me."

    The car drove all the way from the restaurant next to the station to the house. Two men led the child upstairs. The corridor was still pitch-black, and only a faint red light could be seen from the coal stove at the entrance of the old granny next door.

    When they parted, Peng Xingwang asked again.

    "In the future, do I want to call Uncle Chang Dad?"

    "No."

    "Yes."

    Jiang Wang looked up at Ji Linqiu, surprised by his truth.

    "There is no need to coax him at this time," Ji Linqiu stared at Jiang Wang: "He knows exactly what happened."

    Peng Xing thought for a while, and showed greatness.

    "It's fine, I'm a good talker," he waved: "Thank you, Teacher Ji, good night!"

    Jiang Wang returned to the bed after taking a shower, feeling squeamish for a while.

    This must not be done.

    He's so violent, he's very good at dealing with social gangsters and troublesome business, but he can't do anything about this kind of twisted family relationship.

    So much so that La Jilinqiu had to come to help on the spot, otherwise he might have left in a black face in the middle.

    It may also be that the three people made dumplings and watched TV together was too warm.

     

    Jiang Wang turned over and suddenly wanted to grab the sheep beside Peng Xingwang's bed and sleep in his arms.

    The door was suddenly knocked twice.

    "Brother, are you asleep?"

    "No."

    "Can I come in?"

    "Hmm."

    The child groped around with the sheep and stood beside his bed to look at him.

    Jiang Wang twitched his eyebrows, and said, "I'm not afraid to oversleep tomorrow."

    Peng Xingwang blinked.

    "Brother, can I sleep with you?"

    Jiang Wang thought that I was very strange when I adopted him as a child.

    It would be **** Stephen King if he slept with himself in his arms at night.

    “…come up.”

    "Kick you down if you move."

    The child snorted and slept next to him with the sheep in his arms, obediently not moving, and lying upright.

    Jiang Wang closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

    I slept for a while and put the child into his arms expressionlessly, and stretched out his arms tightly.

    "No snoring."

   

    sound.

    Then fell asleep very well and didn't snore all night.
