The fish was fragrant, and the tender meat turned into thin shreds in the mouth. Jiang Zao was eating the meat happily one second, and the next second he saw Xiao Shuisheng coming over, frowned, pretended not to see him, and lowered his head to eat.
Xiao Shuisheng paused.
“…”
Why did Zaoer pretend not to see him?
Being a soldier with quick thinking, Xiao Shuisheng subconsciously understood that Jiang Zao didn't want him to go over there. He turned around and went back, taking his childhood friend away: "The canteen in our station is also very delicious."
After Xiao Shuisheng left, Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so scary, how could it be such a coincidence.
"What's wrong with you, Arya? You don't look very good. Is the food not to your liking?"
The meal had just been delicious, but Gu Xiufang's face turned pale. Her heart instantly jumped up, and her expression became visibly nervous: "...There's a fish bone in it?"
Xiao Shuisheng left Jiang Zao and his expression returned to normal. He said softly, "You ate a little too fast. It's okay now."
Gu Xiufang relaxed her brows and poured her another half bowl of soup.
She added the food so quickly that Jiang Zao didn't know how she did it. Her bowl was full, with two extra pink and tender little meatballs.
After dinner, Gu Xiufang told Jiang Zao where she worked and chatted about family matters. Jiang Zao suggested going home, and Gu Xiufang reluctantly saw her off to the intersection.
Looking at Jiang Zaoqing's beautiful appearance, Gu Xiufang was envious.
This is the daughter-in-law she dreams of.
The streets became a little quieter as autumn approached. Walking along the streets and alleys, a faint smell of rice wafted in from the walls. Jiang Zao used to feel hungry when he smelled rice. Even if he ate so much, he would still feel a little nauseous when he smelled it.
She reached the intersection and was about to turn when she was pulled over by a fierce force. A strong arm wrapped around her slender waist, and the clean scent of soapberry mixed with a light smell of cigarettes enveloped her.
"Heh...Tell me the truth, when did you first meet my mother?"
There was no one on the street corner. The sun was slowly sinking into the west. Under the shade of the big trees, a tall man in military uniform was hugging a beautiful female comrade with thin arms and legs. His left hand was around the female comrade's waist, his right hand was holding the female comrade's hand, and he leaned over and kissed her on the head.
Restrained yet affectionate.
When Jiang Zao heard Xiao Shuisheng's voice, her tense body relaxed.
"On the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The place where his slightly cool lips touched felt like it was on fire, and Jiang Zao's forehead was covered with sweat.
Xiao Shuisheng suddenly understood and excitedly hugged Jiang Zao into his arms. A low and hoarse voice sounded from above Jiang Zao's head: "Zao'er, you saved my mother."
"Zao'er..."
Jiang Zao had long known that Xiao Shuisheng had a nice voice, with a cool and low quality.
"Are you delaying the marriage discussion with me just to make my mother like you?" His little Zao would always consider him.
Xiao Shuisheng's voice was gentle and calm, the strength of his embrace and the warmth of his eyes all told Jiang Zao that he was very happy and excited, and he wished he could integrate her into his own flesh and blood.
She lay in Xiao Shuisheng's arms, inexplicably excited and with a dry mouth.
"Um……"
"I think the woman you raised is pretty good. She and my mother had an argument because my mother scolded her for cutting in line to buy groceries. She got angry and had a bad impression of me, but I don't blame her."
"Try to get in touch with her. If she treats me well, I will treat her well too."
She put it bluntly.
Only if his mother treats her well will she treat his mother well.
If it wasn't good, she wouldn't be so eager to serve it.
When the two of them live together in the future, she will not compromise herself to accommodate anyone.
Xiao Shuisheng was not unhappy. Instead, he felt that Jiang Zao's idea was right: "Well, we live our lives without looking at other people's faces. If she is unhappy, let my dad coax her, and I will coax you."
Jiang Zao talked to him about reality.
He talks about feelings with you.
Inevitably, I was happy.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged Xiao Shuisheng tightly: "I thought I would wait until I am familiar with your mother, and then find a chance to tell her. Otherwise, she will have a bad first impression of me, and Jiang Shan will lead her astray with a few words."
Let Jiang Shan make up whatever she wants now. When she reveals her identity, Gu Xiufang will know what kind of person Jiang Shan is.
I won’t be provoked by her in the future.
The last time they met was on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xiao Shuisheng hadn't seen her for a while, and he missed her so much that his whole body ached.
He hugged Jiang Zao and said nothing. Jiang Zao knew how painful it was for him.
She hugged him and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she put her arms around his neck and moved her red lips closer.
Xiao Shuisheng lowered his head and kissed Jiang Zao's rosy lips. They were soft, like cotton candy. He had intended to just taste them briefly, but he uncontrollably increased his strength.
He was a cold and distant person, but in front of Jiang Zao, his lips were filled with the intoxicating smell of alcohol.
Jiang Zao's head was in a mess from being kissed: "Hmm..."
Hearing the sound that escaped her lips involuntarily, she instantly opened her eyes wide, pushed away the man who was very devoted, and hurriedly tidied her messy hair: "It's getting late, I have to go home."
Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Shuisheng hugged her from behind. His lips couldn't help but land on the side of her flawless white neck. He touched her lightly and then let go. "You walk in front. I'll be three steps away from you and follow you home."
Jiang Zao hesitated and nodded: "Okay."
If it wasn't too late, she and Xiao Shuisheng would be easily gossiped about if they were still walking together, so she wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Arriving home, Jiang Zao waved gently: "Go back and be careful."
There was a hint of reluctance in Xiao Shuisheng's smile: "Go in and go to bed early."
Watching his sweetheart walk into the room, Xiao Shuisheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took two puffs, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.
After Gu Xiufang met Comrade Erya during the day, she kept talking about her when she returned home at night.
"When you have time, talk to Shuisheng and tell him to stop thinking about Jiang Zao all the time. He's not a good person. I talked to him and he hung up on me."
The Xiao family built several large tiled houses connected to each other on their own land. They looked like bungalows, but the interior and exterior rooms were very well built. They had everything you needed, such as a TV, a music box, a refrigerator, a sewing machine, and a bicycle.
It was dinner time, and Comrade Lao Xiao was still at work, so Xiao Qiang was preparing for the college entrance examination and was staying in boarding school.
Xiao Wensheng and Huo Xiaoman were given a small apartment outside. It was narrow and they had to cook in the corridor. The conditions were uncomfortable, so they moved in with their only daughter Xiao Xiangdi and Gu Xiufang.
Just now, Gu Xiufang was talking to Xiao Wensheng.
Xiao Wensheng is not as tall as Xiao Shuisheng, and looks more serious and stiff than Xiao Shuisheng, more like their father Xiao Chengda.
Hearing Gu Xiufang's words, he smiled: "Mom, please don't embarrass me. Shuisheng is deeply in love with Comrade Jiang and thinks about him day and night. Some time ago, he even changed his room to a double bed. Do you think he can listen to us?"
