Chapter 278 There is one more person in the family
After a life of debauchery, a gentleman only feels the emptiness and loneliness after a hangover.
Until July 4th, Jiang Qin no longer planned to continue socializing, so he packed his luggage and prepared to go home. Although subsequent invitations to drinking parties continued to come, he evaded them all.
Sorry, Mr. X, I'm on summer vacation. Have you forgotten that I'm only 19 years old and still a college student?
All the bosses who received this call were smothered. After hanging up the phone, they fell into deep thought, thinking, what was I doing when I was 19 years old.
In this way, he packed his things until more than ten o'clock, and then drove and embarked on a journey back home.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back, your dear son is back!"
"?"
At twelve o'clock noon, Jiang Qin stood at the door and knocked for a long time, but there was no movement at home, as if no one was there.
Jiang Qin couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to check the time. He thought it was the weekend. Where did the old couple go? They didn't wait for their beloved son to return home.
Jiang Qin lifted the foot mat, took out the spare key from underneath, and opened the door.
The environment at home remained unchanged, with a small coffee table, a small sofa and a small TV, full of familiar formulas and familiar flavors.
Jiang Qin put his bag on the shoe cabinet and squatted in the entrance to change into slippers. As a result, he glanced and found that there was a pair of pink slippers in the cabinet that he had never seen before. There was a cartoon ear shape on it, which looked very cute. It was obviously worn by girls.
Hmm?
Jiang Qin felt it was quite inexplicable.
There were only three people in this family, an old mother approaching menopause, a mighty and tall old father, and a suave eldest son. Who would wear such slippers?
Is it the sister of the eldest uncle's family? Or the sister of the third uncle's family?
Jiang Qin didn't think about it, changed into slippers and went to the bathroom, intending to wash up and then go back to the room to catch up on some sleep.
However, when he came to the bathroom, he found a white bunny-shaped tooth cup on the washstand, and inside it was a pink toothbrush, which looked brand new.
He gently touched the bristles with his hand and felt that it was still slightly damp, obviously it had been used by someone.
It was really weird. I hadn't been home for only half a year, and it was as if there was an extra person in this house out of thin air.
"..."
While brushing his teeth, Jiang Qin walked out of the bathroom and walked to the stairwell to take a look at his house number.
There was nothing wrong, this was clearly his home.
He felt a little inexplicable in his heart, but because he had been driving for a whole morning, he was really a little tired, so he didn't investigate it, and went back to the room after rinsing his mouth.
As a result, when he entered the door, the pink four-piece set and the pink hugging bear, Jiang Qin was immediately suffocated by the pink that came to his face.
Damn, I definitely went into the wrong house. This is clearly a family with a daughter!
He had seen a skit before, saying that the renovation upstairs shook off the screws of the door number downstairs, causing 6 to become 9. The family upstairs hired a decorator, who used 80 hammers and 40 hammers to tear the house to pieces.
Jiang Qin smacked his lips. He didn't expect that such a thing as going into the wrong house could happen to him.
Then why are the furniture and appliances in the house exactly the same? This is also based on reason, because in the era when online shopping was not developed, everyone would go to department stores to buy things, and there were generally only a few popular styles, which were basically high-profit and promoted by merchants.
Your family bought this, and my family bought this, too. Otherwise, why would there be so many blankets, tea trays, and quilt covers that can be unified across the country?
But...
Jiang Qin walked to the living room and took a look, thinking that the family portrait on the TV couldn't be the same style!
This mom looks like my mom, this dad looks like my dad, and the guy standing in the middle is just as handsome as me.
"I must be sleepy. I have to go to sleep first. Everything will be normal when I wake up."
Jiang Qin turned back to his room, covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.
I don't know how long he slept. When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Qin found that light kept coming through the crack of the door, and there were bursts of voices coming.
Jiang Qin lifted the quilt, scratched his head and walked out of the room, and found Jiang Zhenghong sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and watching TV, and the conversation came from the kitchen at home.
"Dad, are you drinking tea?"
"You little brat, you still know how to go home? It's been three days since the holiday." Jiang Zhenghong scolded him with a threatening face.
Jiang Qin yawned and turned to look in the direction of the kitchen: "I was too busy these three days and was delayed for a while. By the way, are there any guests at home?"
"Heh, you little brat, you are quite self-aware and already know that you are a guest?"
"?"
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean, Old Jiang? I have only been away from home for half a year. You won't replace all your sons, right?"
Jiang Zhenghong pondered for a moment: "If you say so, there is nothing wrong."
"..."
Jiang Qin turned around and went straight to the kitchen, thinking that I would like to see who is occupying the magpie's nest. As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Youqin cooking, and there was a girl cooking with her.
She was tall, with long legs and a thin waist. She had a long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders, a soft profile, charming eyebrows, and long eyelashes illuminated by the kitchen light. Her cold expression looked cool and stupid.
And she was wearing the slippers that Jiang Qin found in the shoe cabinet when he came back.
At this moment, Yuan Youqin scooped a spoonful of soup from the casserole with a spoon and handed it over. The girl opened her mouth slightly, exhaled twice, and then sipped a mouthful. Then she made a satisfied sound, her eyes were bright.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. Everything Auntie makes is delicious."
Damn, what's the situation with this sense of mother and daughter being filial and family happiness? Jiang Qin's head was big.
He is the only son of the old Jiang family. I haven't heard that the family has a family happiness before the only son comes home. What kind of reason is this.
Can it be so natural when there is suddenly one more person in the family?
Jiang Qin was confused there, and found that the girl standing in front of him had turned her head, and then looked at him coldly like a rich and beautiful woman, but her eyes were obviously very happy.
"Little rich woman, why are you in my house?"
"You didn't come back, so I ran over to play." Feng Nanshu said confidently.
"But when I got home, no one was there. Where did you go?"
"Aunt took me to the vegetable market to buy vegetables."
Yuan Youqin closed the lid of the casserole: "Nan Shu came over on the first day of the holiday and asked me if I was back. I thought you were not there anyway and the room was empty, so I let her stay at home for two days."
"Mom, it's rude for you to force a female classmate to live in our house." Jiang Qin frowned slightly.
"She said she would eat alone when she got home. How could I, as a mother, not feel bad? Even if it was a stranger, I couldn't watch her leave pitifully, right, Nanshu?"
Feng Nanshu nodded seriously: "I eat alone, it's pitiful."
Jiang Qin stared at her beautiful eyes with curiosity: "Where did you learn these things? Even I don't know these!"
"I don't know."
Yuan Youqin suddenly handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Stinky boy, you only know how to ask questions when you come back. Hurry up and take the dishes out. It's time to eat."
Jiang Qin said, took the dishes back to the table, and then turned back: "Mom, have you watched the news recently?"
"What news?"
"It's the morning news and livelihood column of Linchuan local TV station. Have you watched it?"
Yuan Youqin closed the lid of the casserole: "I could see it before, but now it seems that I can't find it? Why don't you ask your dad."
Jiang Qin turned and went to the living room: "Dad, have you watched the news about Linchuan recently? Morning news or livelihood columns."
"Linchuan? We could still see it when we used satellite antennas, but after a period of severe crackdown, the whole city has switched to closed-circuit television. Except for major satellite TV stations and CCTV, those local stations have long been unavailable. Why are you asking this?"
"..."
Jiang Qin felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that if someone didn't "accidentally" see it on TV, spread it widely, and "accidentally" heard it from his parents, then it was equivalent to not happening. There was no effect of making people happy at all.
Damn, I should have gone to Jeju Vocational and Technical School earlier. Although it is a junior college, it can spread all over Jeju in an instant after being on TV.
It seems that the spread of local stations is still not enough. Except for some elderly people in the local area who like to watch it, no one is willing to take a second look.
But it doesn't matter. At the latest next year, my parents will be able to see their news with their own eyes.
"Jiang Qin, call your dad to eat!"
"It's just over 100 square meters, and we have to send a message by fire." Jiang Qin couldn't help but sigh.
Feng Nanshu also came out of the kitchen at this time and sat next to Jiang Qin obediently: "Jiang Qin, I like your family."
"Damn, are you so Versailles? I like your garden villa. Let's exchange it. Both of these two bedrooms and one living room belong to you."
"I like the people in your family." Feng Nanshu's eyes were sparkling.
Jiang Qin looked back and forth and found that her parents had not come yet, so she pinched a fungus and fed it to her mouth: "We are about the same. I like your family's money."
Yuan Youqin came over with a plate at this time: "It's time to eat. Have you two washed your hands?"
"I washed them." Feng Nanshu stretched out two clean little hands.
"I didn't wash them, but I was very brave."
Jiang Qin reached out to take the chopsticks, but was hit on the back of his hand. He could only shout to wash them and then went into the bathroom.
During the meal, Yuan Youqin announced something: "Tomorrow afternoon, when the temperature is a little cooler, our whole family will go out to the Seagull Photo Studio to take a family portrait."
"Don't we have a family portrait?"
"That family portrait is old. Your father and I are old now, and you have grown up. Let's take a new one."
Jiang Qin turned his head and looked at the family portrait on the TV: "It's not that exaggerated, I remember that family portrait was taken just last year?"
Yuan Youqin picked up a piece of fat and lean meat and put it in Feng Nanshu's bowl: "I am the one who has aged the fastest this year, because you are the most annoying this year. Going to school is like being kidnapped. You don't call home for ten days or half a month."
"I agree with this." Jiang Zhenghong went with the flow.
"Then... let's take it."
Jiang Qin decided not to express any opinions, because his mother had a special skill. No matter what topic you start with, the trouble will definitely be blamed on you in the end. Replying is equivalent to starting a fire.
Yuan Youqin thought for a moment: "Nanshu, remember to wear that little white skirt tomorrow. Auntie likes you to wear it like that. It makes you look especially beautiful."
Feng Nanshu was coaxed by Yuan Youqin and wanted to be happy, but she still nodded seriously: "I know."
"?"
Jiang Qin looked at her mother and then at the little rich woman: "Including Feng Nanshu? Take a family photo of four people?"
"What else?"
"No, Mom, you are a bit outrageous. Who takes a family photo and brings a good friend? I have never heard of it."
"You just came back, so don't talk so much. Let's eat first. If others have any other opinions on the plan of taking a family photo, we can discuss it after the family photo is taken."
