Fu Er walked into the experimental elementary school with a face full of spring breeze and light footsteps, the guard reached out and stopped: "Junior high school students can't enter."

    Fuer's smile froze, and he took out his ID card very skillfully and showed him: "I'll go in to pick up the child, and chat with his head teacher by the way."

    "...You are in your twenties?!" The doorman stepped aside like hell: "Okay, okay, next time you wear more mature clothes."

    Fu Er gave a vague hum and stepped into the campus again.

    When she breathes the air again, she feels kind and familiar.

    Fifteen minutes before the end of get out of class, she came early and happened to stroll around.

    Tao Yingqi just came over with the lecture notes, and the two met face to face.

    "Small characters?"

    "Sister Qi!" Fu Er smiled brightly: "I'm here to pick up Xingwang after school!"

    Tao Yingqi had nothing to do, so he leaned against the railing to chat with her about the current situation, the little girl turned her words and said with bright eyes: "By the way, I plan to buy a house at the end of next year, sister Qi has Any recommended properties?"

    Tao Yingqi thought he had heard it wrong.

    "Are you... planning to live in Yuhan?"

     "Yes, but now the house price is rising fast, the sooner the better," Fu Er counted his savings and how much his parents would subsidize, and the small abacus worked quickly: "Buy a Two bedrooms and one living room is fine, if it can be near the lake and the river, it would be even better, seventy or eighty square meters, it is too small to live in.”

    Tao Yingqi said with mixed feelings for a while: "You are so young, there is no need to work overtime and rush like this, do you need to relax and rest occasionally?"

    She has been working overtime every day for five or six years and has been bald by the children. According to the current meager salary, she can afford the down payment and has difficulty repaying the mortgage.

     

    "That's right," Fu Er said with a deep expression, "I have a terminal illness that will kill me if I don't make money to buy a house."

    Tao Yingqi: …?

    Peng Xingwang walked out of the classroom with his bag on his back, and saw the head teacher chatting with Teacher Fu at a glance, jumped over to say hello, "Hello, teacher!"

    "Your brother is surrounded by parents, I will pick you up for them." Fu Er and Tao Yingqi beckoned: "Chat back!"

    When she took Peng Xingwang out of the school, the child remembered what was wrong.

    "Do you know Teacher Tao?"

    "Yes," Fu Er said with a smile: "I am good friends with her, and we will be neighbors in the future."

    Jiang Wang originally wanted to fish out his friends and boyfriend for dinner, but he didn't expect the parents at the door to be so enthusiastic and there were a few customers coming over. When Ji Linqiu finished a class, he still didn't see him Shadow, simply took Peng Xingwang back to his home to eat.

    Nowadays, Ji's father and son are not forgetting to educate and become lecturers. The old lady runs a tailor shop and helps to cook. Occasionally, when she is too busy, she will say hello to Linqiu to go home and help.

      .

    Tonight just happened to Ji Changxia brought freshly cut yellow beef over, a family of four with a child can cook a table full of dishes, and temporarily made a chicken soup with a pressure cooker.

    Peng Xingwang entered the house and looked for a place to do homework. He didn't even need a TV remote control. After writing, he helped with chopsticks and bowls. The old lady liked it.

    "Come, come, Grandma Chen will serve you soup!"

    Ji Changxia has just finished working for a while, and this time he also intends to gather with his family and pick up fresh topics to talk about at the dinner table.

    Peng Xingwang worked hard for two bowls of rice, and after eating, he went to the yard to watch the parrots.

    When another parent finished a short chat, Ji Changxia remembered something and smiled: "Our community is not organizing condolences to the elderly and widows recently. I also became a volunteer and helped out in the past."

    "When the grain and oil were delivered, I saw a family where two old ladies lived together."

    Chen Danhong curiously asked: "Is it because their old man is gone, so they are living together? That's good too."

    "I really asked," Ji Changxia shook his head: "The two of them have never been married, nor have they talked about their wives, they just lived together for the rest of their lives."

    Ji Linqiu's eyes were slightly startled, and he lowered his head to drink the soup very restrained.

    "How could this be?" Ji Guoshen looked worried: "Did something happen to them when they were young, can they both take care of each other?"

    "There's nothing I can't take care of," Chen Danhong didn't care: "You think that without men, women can't carry gas cans and carry rice? When you went to Xinjiang to support teaching, I Isn't it okay to pull two children alone?"

    Ji Guoshen wanted to say something, but when he heard this, he felt ashamed and nodded in response.

    Ji Changxia stayed at the old man's house for an afternoon, helped them with some housework, and chatted a lot on the way, and I feel a little embarrassed when I recall it.

    "I asked them, is it easy for two women to quarrel when they live together?"

    "In the end, they said, it's the same as an ordinary couple, but it's just a small fight, and there's no overnight anger."

    "Guess how old are they?"

    Chen Danhong listened deeply: "Is it sixty?"

    Ji Changxia compared eight: "One is seventy-nine, one is eighty-three, and the teeth are almost gone."

    Ji Guoshen has never heard of such a strange thing: "I have never been married in my whole life? No men come to ask for marriage?"

    "People are very happy without getting married, maybe they don't like men at all," Ji Changxia didn't care: "I think it's pretty good to be able to live happily until old age. "

    Chen Danhong originally wanted to add a couple of sentences, but when she heard this, she suddenly remembered her son, quickly glanced at Ji Linqiu, who was drinking soup in silence, and said embarrassingly: "It's always someone else's business, so let's just Listen."

    She has been a housewife all her life. I really heard that there are women living like this, and the first reaction in my heart was actually envy.

     

    I really want to think this way, but I feel that it goes against the laws of nature.

    Until the meal was over, Ji Linqiu didn't participate in the conversation anymore. After eating, she put on her coat and said goodbye to her parents and went home with Xingwang.

    When the children were gone, Ji Guoshen took a rag to help wipe the table, and his expression was not very good.

    Chen Danhong saw that he was in a bad mood and asked, "What's the matter? It's not that my daughter is ignoring you."

    "It's not about Chang Xia," Ji Guoshen became annoyed: "You said she was talking about those two old ladies, could it be that kind of relationship?"

    Chen Danhong was inexplicable: "What kind of relationship?"

    She saw Ji Guoshen frown, and it took a while to react, but she didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with living together, I heard that there are not many girls like this in Chaoshan, you think too much. "

    "However, Lin Qiu said earlier that he doesn't like women." Ji Guoshen was worried: "He follows Boss Jiang every day, works in his company, and lives with others in the house, saying it is a cooperation It's convenient and economical to run from both ends of the meeting, why do I feel that something is wrong."

      Would you like to?" "The work in the tailor's shop can basically be done in the morning. If it doesn't work, I will take it home and cut it in the evening, but if I go to college, you will have to cook dinner at home from time to time."

    Ji Guoshen was a little stunned: "You... are you going to go to a senior university?"

    He thinks this is very good, his wife can go to class more and the two of them can have a common language, but like a child, he doesn't know what to do: "You are so busy, there is no one at home. take care of…"

    "Then you can eat in the cafeteria with Linqiu," Chen Danhong couldn't help laughing: "It's you who said that the cafeteria's nutrition and matching skills are good, there is soup and meat every day, and I will make it for you on weekends. of."

    It's not a meal at all.

    Ji Guoshen originally thought that this reason could keep her, but after listening to a few words, he was dazed, and only then did he realize that he had always been reliant on her, and now he is reluctant to leave.

    "Okay," he responded after a while, and his emotions were overcome by the old intellectual's side: "Where are you going to study? How long will it take?"

    "Take the bus for four stops and learn everything, it's fine." Chen Danhong squinted and smiled: "In this way, both of you won't look down on me and don't understand anything - I heard that there is more Learn English, oh, my old lady still has days to learn English!"

    “…We never thought about it that way!”

    When Jiang Wang drove home, he saw a familiar figure on the side of the road.

    Ji Linqiu didn't wear a trench coat, just draped it over her shoulders, holding Peng Xingwang in one hand, and walked slowly in the night.

    He slowed down, followed at a constant speed for a while, and realized that the other party hadn't noticed him yet.

    Then honk the horn and pretend to strike up a conversation.

    "Whose beautiful teacher and unlucky child is this?"

    Peng Xingwang was a little happy, but also a little angry: "Brother! Who do you think is the unlucky child!"

    Ji Linqiu came back to his senses, saw clearly that it was him, and also showed his face, and sat up with Xingwang.

    It's just that she didn't speak after going up, silent like a lonely bird.

    Jiang Wang and Peng Xingwang were chatting with each other, and saw in the rearview mirror that he was in a bad mood.

    Peng Xingwang finished talking about the trivialities in the school, suddenly remembered what he heard at Ji's house today, and said with great interest: "When sister Changxia was eating today, she said that there were two old ladies together. Live to ninety years old, the relationship is very good!"

    Ji Linqiu was startled: "Didn't you go to the yard to see the parrots?"

    "I have good ears!" The child proudly said, "I can hear the teachers whispering on the podium when I sit in the last row!"

    Jiang Wang understood for a moment, and continued: "Two old ladies?"

    "Yeah! If you don't get married all your life, what's the point of living your life." Peng Xingwang gave a bold guess: "You said it's so good, the two of them can watch Huanzhugege together, put on a mask together, and never have to rob Change the remote control."

    "It would be great if Brother Wang and Brother Linqiu could do the same," the child sighed leisurely, "I can't bear to go to college, I really want to live with you all my life."

    Jiang Wang laughed lightly, reached out and rubbed the child's head.
