afternoon.
Half past four.
The rain wasn't heavy, but it was sparse.
In the living room of Mother Jiang's house, Dong Xuebin helped Jiang Fangfang hang up her clothes, put away the sheets and quilts, and also helped her wipe her dirty high heels.
"Don't worry about it, I'll do it." The Power of Time and Wealth 1401
"I accidentally dropped it."
"It's okay, just leave it alone."
"That's it. Don't occupy your hands."
Jiang Fangfang didn't agree, but snatched the high heels over and polished them himself, "I'll take care of the shoes. If you have nothing to do, go wash the vegetables. It's in the refrigerator. You can take out what you like to eat. When I finish, we will cut out the vegetable codes first. When my mother wakes up, we can stir-fry them."
"That's good."
"Remember to turn on the kitchen light."
"No, you can see it."
"The refrigerator light is broken, I'm afraid you can't see clearly."
Entering the kitchen, Dong Xuebin opened the refrigerator door to prepare the dishes. After washing them, he didn't wait for Jiang Fangfang. He knew that Sister Jiang was too tired these days, so he just cut the vegetables himself. When Jiang Fangfang came in after cleaning his shoes and getting dressed, Dong Xuebin didn't let her do anything. He did most of the work.
After finishing, it was past five o'clock.
Dong Xuebin The two of them had nothing to do anymore, so they went to sit on the sofa and watch TV. The two of them were not close to each other, about an arm's length apart. I didn't dare to watch the news. There was a variety show on TV, which was pretty good. Jiang Fangfang is not a talkative person, and neither is Dong Xuebin. They just watched TV and didn't chat much. After all, Mother Jiang was still in the room, so it was hard to say much. Otherwise, it will be exposed.
soon.
Jiang Fangfang looked at his watch, "It's time to call me mom."
"By the way Sister Jiang." Dong Xuebin whispered, "What did your husband call you before?"
Jiang Fangfang was silent for a moment, "I usually call her Fangfang. You can just call me that when my mother is around."
Dong Xuebin nodded, "Remember, I won't talk much anyway."
Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened from the inside, and the old lady came out.
Jiang Fangfang moves faster. He raised his "butt" and moved in the direction of Dong Xuebin, getting close to him, and then naturally held Dong Xuebin's hand. Dong Xuebin was startled, then realized what he was doing, and he held her hand in return. Their hands were intertwined, and Dong Xuebin also felt the warmth in Sister Jiang's hands and the delicateness of her palms. It's so soft and comfortable to hold. In the eyes of the old lady. They are a couple. We have to be intimate after not seeing each other for such a long time. It is impossible to sit on the sofa and watch TV while being eight feet away from each other.
"Mom, are you awake?" Jiang Fangfang stood up. The Power of Time and Wealth 1401
Dong Xuebin also stood up. Seeing that Sister Jiang's hand didn't let go, he continued to hold it.
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "Wake up, you slept so comfortably. Where are you two watching TV? Let's watch it. By the way, Fangfang, it's time for Mom to take the medicine."
"You just finished drinking this afternoon."
"... Have you drank?"
"Drink. It's not time for the 'medicine' tonight."
"Oh, look at my brain. Xiao Tao, are you hungry?"
"Haha, it's okay. We'll eat it if you want."
"Eat, there's nothing to do anyway."
"Then we both cook, and you sit down."
Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang entered the kitchen hand in hand. The old lady looked at the backs of the two people, smiled and nodded repeatedly, with a look of relief on her face.
In the kitchen.
As soon as the door closed, Jiang Fangfang let go.
Dong Xuebin was still squeezing her. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly let go.
There is nothing unnatural about Jiang Fangfang, "You are the one who is responsible for chopping the vegetables. I will stir-fry the vegetables. You can help me get started. Just get the soy sauce and sugar."
"Okay."
"Then fire."
The meal was quickly prepared and put on the table, and the three of them sat together and ate.
The old lady was in a good mood and kept picking up food for Dong Xuebin, "Come Xiao Tao, eat this. Don't worry, Mom is not smart. Mom remembers everything you and Fangfang like to eat."
Dong Xuebin murmured hurriedly, "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Fangfang ye's mother put some green vegetables in it and said, "You eat it too, and leave him alone."
"Yes, you eat." Sister Jiang picked up whatever he wanted, and Dong Xuebin picked up whatever he wanted. Finally, he also gave Jiang Fangfang a chopstick, "Jiang..." He quickly changed his words, "Fangfang, here it is."
Jiang Fangfang Yeah. The Power of Time and Wealth 1401
After calling Fangfang, Dong Xuebin always felt a little hot.
The old lady suddenly said, "What day is it today?"
"Mom, it's Saturday." Dong Xuebin replied.
The old lady said, "Then you two should have a rest tomorrow?"
"Yes, I will go to work on Monday." Dong Xuebin didn't think about it yet, so he just answered whatever he asked.
"That's just right." Mother Jiang smiled and said, "Xiao Tao, you haven't seen mom for a long time. I tell you, you are not allowed to leave today. You can stay at home with Fangfang."
Dong Xuebin said, "Live here?"
Mother Jiang said matter-of-factly, "Yes, don't even leave."
Jiang Fangfang interrupted, "Xiao Tao still has things to do when we go back. I'll just stay with you and let him go."
"Don't you have a day off tomorrow? What else can happen?" The old lady was unhappy. "If you have anything to do, you have to leave it to me. It's been several months. It's hard for me to see you Son-in-law once."
Jiang Fangfang Looked at his mother, "There is no place to live at home."
The old lady said, "Every time Xiao Tao comes, don't we make the floor with you? Our floor isn't cold either. If that doesn't work, just put on a few more layers of mattresses and quilts, and you two will sleep in the living room."
"Mom." Jiang Fangfang said helplessly, "He is really in trouble."
Dong Xuebin answered, "Yes, yes, I have something urgent to do tonight..."
The old lady became stubborn and said, "You can't do anything today, so you have to stay with me. It's a rainy day, so I won't worry if you drive away." Just as he was saying this, there was a rumble of thunder, and the sound of crashing outside became louder. The old lady suddenly said, "Look, how heavy the rain is."
Jiang Fangfang still didn't agree, "Xiao Tao The car is fine. It's fine even if it rains. Let him go back and do some errands after dinner."
The old lady glared at her daughter, "You girl, why don't you know how to care about your man? What if something happens on a rainy day? You don't want a big floor, right? That's okay, mom will sleep in the living room, I will sleep on the floor, and you two go to the bedroom to sleep on the bed."
Dong Xuebin said, "How can that work, Mom?"
Mother Jiang was like an old kid, "None of you can leave anyway."
If Dong Xuebin is really Sister Jiang's husband, he hasn't come back for so long, and the old lady is trying to keep him, it is really difficult for Dong Xuebin to leave. Not to mention laying a floor, he has to stay even if he sleeps in the kitchen. This is as it should be, but the problem now is that Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang are not a couple.
Stay?
One bedroom?
Sleeping on the floor?
Why are they sleeping on the same bed?
Isn't this just letting Dong Xuebin sit on the wax?
But the old lady's attitude was very firm and there was no need to discuss it at all.
Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang looked at each other, but in the end they had no choice.
Jiang Fangfang pondered for a while and said to Dong Xuebin, "Then... don't leave."
Dong Xuebin wiped away the sweat and heard the old lady say with satisfaction, "This is right, come on, let's eat."
