"Drip-drip-"
The communication notification sound of the bracelet kept ringing, and Chu Niao slept soundly not long after falling asleep. The sound of the bracelet vibrating rhythmically in his ear made him shrink back and forth into the warm arms of the person beside him, wanting to Block out the sound.
After the bracelet rang perseveringly for half a minute, a man's big hand stretched out from the quilt, accurately clasped the wrist that was placed on the body, unbuttoned the bracelet and held it in front of him, squinting at the communication request above.
[Chengcheng. ]
Luo Ye struggled for a while, choosing to answer by himself between waking up his girlfriend or hanging up.
"Sister, are you still here for dinner at night? My dad bought a fish and came back and cooked it today!" As soon as the communication was connected, Jing Yicheng's squeaking voice sounded in his ears, and it seemed that he could still hear it. The pots and pans collided, and I don't know who was yelling "Hold down the fish, shoot it to death, shoot it to death, ah, ah, ah, it jumps up".
This family is really all kitchen idiots, and it is difficult for them to come up with such a high-end and atmospheric dish as boiled fish.
Luo Ye glanced at him and slept deeply on him. The skin exposed outside the quilt still had some bruise marks that were not obvious due to the excessive force of his hands. He hesitated for a while, but he did not agree. He didn't refuse for her privately, but answered with wiggle room: "Wait until you wake up from sleep."
Although they didn't mess around too much in Qingtian and Bairi, she just fell asleep, and she didn't know what time she would wake up.
Jing Yicheng, who was happy over there, heard a strange male voice, his voice suddenly choked, like swallowing a fly, neither up nor down, and finally hung up the call angrily, with a long voice. After the "duo", it was silent.
Jing Yicheng kicked a clump of weeds growing in the yard: Why, what, what, yes, this, this man answered the phone! hateful! brute! rogue!
Jing Yiran took the knife that she was going to use to cut vegetables and stayed far away from the murder scene of the fish killing over there. Seeing her stinky brother was alone in his bald turf, as if he was going to kill someone, she looked blank and puzzled.
"Let you contact Tso, what are you doing there?"
Jing Yicheng turned his head and walked angrily towards the pool where the other two big men were holding the fish but couldn't start, and said proudly, "I'm coming."
Jing Yiran: Black question mark face?
On the other side, Luo Ye was thinking about this family from a long distance, so he let her sleep for half an hour, so he gently woke her up and told her about the call from Jing Yicheng.
Chu Chu rubbed her eyes, and after thinking about it, she decided to go. Uncle and cousin-in-law were not there at noon, and the meal happened tonight, so she had no reason not to go.
Luo Ye didn't say anything. He took out a dress from the closet and helped her put it on. He looked down and saw the ambiguous marks on the side of her neck on the outside of the dress, and silently found a scarf that matched the dress and put it on.
"It's cold at night, wear more clothes."
At the beginning, I didn't notice anything wrong, so I patted my face to cheer myself up, and he got out of bed and washed my face with hot water. Although the capital base is energized, there are restrictions and high-power electrical appliances cannot be used, but Luoye is easier to use than a water heater. .
Luo Ye didn't worry about her, and sent her to Jing's small courtyard before leaving.
I met my uncle I hadn't seen for a long time. My uncle was a workaholic. I didn't see each other a few times a year. I finally had the opportunity to have a holiday dinner and travel. Some aunts who were afraid were even more unfamiliar with their uncles.
In my memory, only the first three days of the death of my parents, this uncle rarely quit work and helped with the funeral. Later, after my grandfather passed away, it was my uncle who reappeared and took her to the capital. What a chance to be alone.
Not only her, but Jing Yicheng, his own son, was seldom close to his father. When they were young, they always felt that their uncle was like a machine that would never stop working.
It's just that nine months have passed since the end of the world. The man in suit and leather shoes, with his hair meticulously groomed, seems like a mountain that won't fall. Now his temples are slightly frosted. became much softer.
Once a workaholic who couldn't spare time no matter how much he shouted, the reunion of his family's extravagant desire to eat together has now become a commonplace meal.
Chu Chu put away his mixed feelings, walked into the house with a smile on his lips, and started calling people from his uncle.
On a small dilapidated dining table, there was a large pot of boiled fish with red oil peppers and a winter-season stir-fried vegetables that looked better than noon at noon.
The family packed a square table, not many dishes, but almost the best they could come up with.
This fish was bought by Jing Helian after hearing from his wife that his niece had come all the way to the capital to find them when he got off work. This fish cost him ten days of wages.
In the past, he only wanted to make money, thinking that it was enough to give his wife and children a better life. After the end of the world, all money would be meaningless. Only then did he realize that he had neglected his family too much for so many years, and he was used to it in the shopping mall. A man who was decisive in killing, his heart that had been cold and hard for many years finally became soft. He started as a laborer. Although he earned very little, he was content to be able to go home to accompany his relatives every day.
When I recalled how I treated my sister's only niece left behind, I only felt guilty.
He started from scratch, but in an earlier time, the Jing family was not wealthy. His parents died early, and it was his sister who brought him up. In order to take care of her, he had no time to talk about marriage after the marriageable age. An older leftover girl.
Later, when he met Chu's father, he had a bad face, and both of them had an accident, leaving only the young Chu's. However, even so, he didn't take good care of his niece for his sister, and he was ashamed of his sister all his life.
She was addicted to spicy food at the beginning, but she remembered that her uncle's family, including her brother-in-law, had a very light diet. Now that she saw the pot of boiled fish with chili peppers floating in it, she couldn't tell that it was specially prepared for her. She felt warm in her heart. Those not-so-good memories and the only bit of grudge have all vanished from this moment.
The Jing family used to have a tutor who kept eating and sleeping, but now it has obviously been lost. Jing Helian personally broke this rule and asked, "Where does Zuo live now?"
Chu Tso answered the family home where they now live.
Jing Helian nodded: "That environment is not bad."
He was relieved to know that his niece was doing well now, even though he didn't have much ability to help her now.
It was probably because it was a little hot to eat spicy food. When she first took off her scarf and put it on her lap, Jing Yiran, who was sitting next to her and rinsing the boiled pork slices in boiled water, looked up and saw a lump on the side of her neck that had not disappeared. The red marks made her whole person choked violently—she was a visitor herself, so how could she not recognize what it was, and to say mosquitoes, this ghost weather was too outrageous.
"It's spicy? Drink water." Jing Yiran's husband hurriedly poured her a glass of water.
Jing Yiran waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, or asked, "Tao Tiao, are you in love?"
As soon as she said that, the eyes of everyone else in the room fell on Chu Chuo, just like the family scene where the parents were interrogated after the puppy love was known to the parents.
Although Chu Chu didn't know how her cousin knew about it, because it seemed that Jing Yicheng hadn't told other people about it, she didn't want to hide it from them, after all, she still wanted to introduce Ah Ye to them.
"Yeah, we've been dating for half a year." She couldn't tell her past life experience, so she could only say it according to the development of this life.
"What is your name?"
"How old are you? What are you doing?"
"how did you guys meet?"
The three consecutive questions from aunt, aunt and cousin followed closely.
In addition to telling the truth, Chu Chu naturally tried his best to say a few words for Luo Ye: "His name is Luo Ye, he is twenty years old, he used to be a college student, but now he is a superhuman. We met at a base, he helped me a lot, It has also saved me many times."
The age difference is not big, and the college student is a supernatural person who has rescued the long distance. It sounds like he should be a reliable young man, and he has not been fooled by fools.
Jing Helian pondered for a moment and said, "You are almost eighteen years old. You are an adult. You can talk about love whenever you want, but if you suffer any grievances, you will still have your uncle."
He is not a first-time biological parent. He didn't take good care of her before, and now he is not qualified to educate her in general, and it is normal to fall in love at this age, but if she is bullied, there will be any difficulties, at least Let her know that she still has an uncle to rely on.
Chu Chu felt warm in her heart and nodded solemnly, but she was still saying nice things for her boyfriend: "Don't worry, he treats me very well and has never made me feel wronged."
"Just as long as you are well."
But what they are worried about is the future. With such a long life, no one can guarantee whether they will change their minds, but in this happy atmosphere, it is obviously not the time to talk about such unpleasant topics.
Everyone is quite satisfied with Chu Chu's boyfriend at present, except for Jing Yicheng, who has been hostile to Luo Ye since the beginning, he is not satisfied with this, let alone what Chu Chu said, thinking that she is just to prevent them from letting them Worry about it.
Chu Chu stayed at Jing's house until very late before returning. It was still Jing Yicheng who sent her out of the alley. When he saw the man at the end of the alley bathed in moonlight and waiting in the cold wind for a long time, Jing Yicheng was stunned for a moment, but Soon he found an excuse, said goodbye to Chu Chu, then glanced at the man under the moonlight, turned around and left with a stinky face.
Chu Chu didn't notice how fast his face changed, he trotted towards Luo Ye and grabbed his hand, um, it was still hot: "How long did you wait?"
"Not long, just arrived." He would not say that he has been waiting here since he finished eating in the cafeteria.
Chu Chu naturally didn't believe what he said, but he didn't expose him, so he took his hand and walked back.
"I told my uncle and aunt about you."
"…Um."
As if he didn't see his nervousness for a moment, Chu Chuquan shook the hands of the two of them. Instead of bullying him, he honestly said, "They are very satisfied with you."
She believes that after meeting in the future, they will only be more satisfied.
Luo Ye didn't speak, but he was already thinking in his heart, is his net worth too little now?
In the past, they lacked everything and didn't have much pursuit of material desires. They didn't have family members in their previous lives. He had no experience in meeting their parents. I can't make a good impression in front of my uncle and aunt, the only thing I can think of is to be nice to me.
The man with a light-hearted appearance has already thought about how many tasks he will take on recently and how to make crazy money.
