Chapter 88 Chapter 88 "Idiot, turn off the lights."...
At this time, the dim and dark light in the house seemed hazy. In this dim light, the two people stood there quietly without moving.
Their eyes met, and there was an indescribable aura in their expressions.
It was like a burning flame and also like gentle ripples of water, so ambiguous that both of them could hardly control themselves.
"Cough." Cheng Jin coughed lightly. He was eager to pull the person into the house, but he didn't know what to do next. He only felt that the pair of eyes were particularly dazzling in the dim room. After their eyes met, he...
Then he dodged away like a frightened deer.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and cover her eyes with it, but he didn't expect the warm breath to fall on his palm, which made him even more unbearable.
"Turn off the lights, idiot."
The string of the light bulb was hanging beside the bed. Just a slight pull would plunge the room into darkness.
Everything in front of their eyes suddenly went dark, but their other senses became stronger. They could feel each other's faint breathing and hot body temperature more clearly.
Cheng Jin suddenly shuddered, and felt his outstretched palm being gently touched by another hand. Her fingertips slowly moved in the air, trying to touch him. That kind of vague contact continuously generated a current from the direction of the fingers, spreading throughout his body, causing him to step forward involuntarily and lean forward...
…
Jiang Shuangshuang didn't wake up until around ten o'clock the next morning.
Why do you remember it so clearly?
Because when she reached out her hand and touched the pillow, she didn't touch the man who had been pestering her all night, but she touched the watch she had untied on the pillow.
As luck would have it, the hour hand was pointing at the figure “X”.
Her first reaction was that Xu's mother didn't come to wake her up. You know, in the past, when she wanted to lie in bed on her weekends, Xu's mother would knock on her door from time to time.
It seems that parents can’t stand the younger generation sleeping on the bed.
Not only that, it was also very quiet outside.
Otherwise, she would not have slept until now. She would have been awakened by the noise outside. There is no peace and quiet in the mansion. Except for midnight, there would be some noise from time to time outside as soon as the sun rose.
The sounds of washing, talking, and children playing together.
It's impossible to have a good sleep.
This was one of the reasons why she was particularly looking forward to the small courtyard in the army. Once the door was closed, it was very quiet, and if she felt bored, she could visit other places.
This means that you can be quiet when you want it, and you can be lively when you want it.
Unlike in a big house, sometimes she was forced to join in the fun, other times it was fine, but sometimes she still wanted to have a good sleep to rest her spirit.
For example, now.
I have to say, she really has a good physique that makes people fall in love with her at first sight.
That good figure is well worth it.
Jiang Shuangshuang slept well enough that night. When she got up, she felt a little uncomfortable physically, but she was in good spirits.
When she finished cleaning up and opened the door, she found that there was no one in the yard. No wonder it was so quiet.
"Shuangshuang, you're up!" Zhao Lizhu heard the noise and came out from the next room. When she saw someone, she said, "Come in and sit for a while. I'll bring you the hot dishes on the stove."
Before Jiang Shuangshuang could respond, the other party had already run to the stove.
Okay, then she will cook it and wait for it to be ready to eat.
But it is really ready-made.
White porridge, meat buns, steamed dumplings, and even two fried dough sticks with soy milk.
Such a sumptuous meal must not be made at home. "Did you buy it from outside?"
"Yeah." Zhao Lizhu nodded, and then her cheeks turned red. She didn't dare to look at Shuangshuang, especially the vague ambiguous mark on her neck.
Instead, he lowered his head and said, "Comrade Cheng bought it. He said he had to go to the bureau to get a notice first. After buying it, he asked us to keep it warm on the stove, in case you were hungry when you woke up."
Jiang Shuangshuang saw her face turn red and her eyes darting around but she didn't dare to look at him. Did he need to guess why she was shy?
Without continuing the conversation with Cheng, she looked outside the door and asked curiously, "What happened somewhere? Why is the yard so quiet today?"
"Comrade Cheng brought two large bags of melon seeds and asked the people in the compound to help peel them, saying that they would be rewarded with one tenth of the seeds peeled. Everyone in the compound went outside the alley to peel the seeds." She really thought that Shuangshuang was a good match.
Why would you ask someone to peel melon seeds for you for no reason?
He even took her outside the alley. She really didn't understand at first. Later, Comrade Cheng took a few handfuls of candies and let the children in the compound play outside. Then he asked her to be more careful when entering and leaving the house.
Doesn't she understand now?
The reason I do all this is simply because I don't want anyone to bother Shuangshuang.
Not all men can do this alone.
If Zhao Lizhu had guessed it, how could Jiang Shuangshuang not guess it?
She smiled softly, but didn't judge anything, but continued to eat the loving breakfast Comrade Cheng prepared for her.
It was said to be breakfast, but it was almost eleven o'clock when we finished.
Jiang Xiaozhou finally finished the morning tutoring class. When he walked out of the wooden house, he felt extremely weak and even shaky when he walked.
But when he saw his second sister sitting at the table, he suddenly rushed over and asked, "Second sister, why did you get up so late today?"
Zhao Lizhu, who was standing by, was so shocked by his words that she lowered her head and her face turned red again.
Jiang Shuangshuang reached out and tapped his forehead, "Since when did you start to care about me?"
"...I'm just asking casually." Jiang Xiaozhou covered his forehead and groaned. He said reluctantly, "Second sister, I heard that you will have to go to the army with your brother-in-law in a few days?"
"Yes." Jiang Shuangshuang nodded affirmatively, and then said seriously: "After I leave, this family will only be left with you and mom. Don't think of yourself as a child anymore. Mom still needs you to take care of her."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mom!" Jiang Xiaozhou nodded heavily to assure her, but he felt particularly reluctant in his heart.
In fact, if the second sister left, wouldn't he be like the monkey king in the mountain without a tiger? No one would raise a fist to scare him, and no one would push all the chores at home to him.
If he really acts coquettishly and pretends to be pitiful, then I will definitely go along with his wishes.
By then, his life will be as carefree as it can be. He won’t even have to take tutoring too seriously. Even if the young teachers go to complain, no one can do anything to him.
But……
He would rather be controlled by his second sister than have her leave him.
Anton's place is really too far away. He realized it after his elder sister went to the countryside. It is so far away that they don't know when they will meet again.
When I thought of this, my eyes started to turn red, and I felt particularly reluctant to leave: "Second sister, can you please not leave? Didn't we agree to stay for another half a year?"
"Work hard, young man." Jiang Shuangshuang put one hand on his shoulder and squeezed it a little harder. "Don't be too lax. It's quite far away, but it's not impossible to come back. If you graduate successfully after the high school exam, I will definitely come back to celebrate with you. But if you fail, I will also come back and beat you up in person."
"......Ah?" Jiang Xiaozhou was a little dumbfounded.
The reluctance to leave was instantly broken by the words of my second sister, "You, you will come back next year?"
"I will come back, of course I will." Jiang Shuangshuang was not just trying to scare people. Her elder sister couldn't come back because it was difficult for her to go through the formalities, but she was different. In these turbulent years, her status as a military dependent was the biggest guarantee. It would not be difficult for her to get a letter of introduction to come back to visit her relatives.
After a lifetime of wandering around, she really wanted to be more comfortable this time, but it was inevitable that she would feel a little bored if she stayed in the same place all the time.
It was just right for her to travel back and forth between the two cities, and she could enjoy the scenery along the way. Comrade Cheng must be on missions frequently due to her status. Instead of waiting in the yard, she might as well take this time to go home and visit Mother Xu and Jiang Xiaozhou.
But this is an arrangement for another time. Jiang Xiaozhou will definitely come back when he graduates from high school next year. This boy has studied hard for half a year. If he can graduate successfully, she will definitely come back to celebrate for him.
But if he really failed to graduate, she would not come back to punish him as she said. As long as he had worked hard for the past six months, it didn't matter if he failed the exam. As his second sister, wouldn't she have to come back to comfort him?
Verbal comfort must be provided, and material comfort must also be prepared.
But that’s all next year’s business, let’s talk about it next year.
Anyway, Jiang Shuangshuang never thought about not coming back for several years. If there is no way, then it's fine. But if there is a way, of course she would like to go home from time to time.
She and Comrade Cheng lived in a small courtyard belonging to military personnel.
But at the same time, these two rooms in the mansion are also her and Comrade Cheng’s home, so how could she be willing to stay away from them for several years?
"Don't worry, second sister, I will study hard!" Jiang Xiaozhou made up his mind. Although he was afraid that his second sister would hit him, he made up his mind this time only because he felt that his second sister would rather run back and forth so many days just for his high school graduation.
If he doesn't work hard, how can he be worthy of his second sister? !
Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer. I stood up with my hands on the table and said, "No need to rest. I have to go study now!"
Cheng Yichen, who was lying on the side, was exhausted and waved his hands to refuse: "No, no, no, if you want to learn, don't come to me, my head is about to explode."
Those who learn are tired, and those who teach are also tired.
Fortunately, he only teaches for a few hours in the morning, and the afternoon and evening are other people's jobs. If he were asked to teach for the whole day, he would definitely pack up and run away at night and never come to stay with his cousin's wife again!
"Walk, walk, walk! I'm not even tired!"
"No, no, I won't leave even if you kill me."
"Brother Cheng Yichen, it's ok for me to call you brother, let's study for another hour before dinner."
“…………”
When Cheng Jin came back, his cousin was already exhausted, but he didn't care. He walked directly to Shuang Shuang and whispered in her ear, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Shuangshuang glanced at him and replied softly, "I'm not sure. Can you take it easy tonight?"
"..." Cheng Jin touched his nose and chose to avoid the question, saying: "I went to Director Wei this morning, and the recall notice was issued. We have to return in three days."
"Okay, three days is enough time for us to pack our bags."
Cheng Jin followed up by saying, "I have also informed Director Wei about your job and asked Cheng Yichen to take over your shift first, and then hand it over to Xiao Zhou in half a year."
"Ah, I take over?" Cheng Yichen sat up suddenly, looking extremely confused. He just came here to deliver something for his aunt-in-law, and it was already strange that he stayed here to teach as a little teacher. Why did he have to take over his cousin's wife's job now?
Cheng Jin did not even think of giving him an explanation, but continued to say to his wife: "Because there are academic requirements, he is the only one who meets the requirements, and your position cannot be vacant for half a year, so you can only find someone to take it first."
In fact, it is not difficult to find other high school students to take over. After all, many high school students are not assigned jobs after graduation. They either choose to go to the countryside or stay at home. As long as their news is spread, many people will come.
But you can't trust a stranger. Who knows if he or she will just take you for himself or herself?
At this point, Cheng Yichen is a particularly good choice.
There is nothing wrong with this kid's character, and Cheng Yichen is not interested in this. He prefers studying to working and getting paid, and is waiting for a place in the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers Program to go to college.
It just so happens that instead of just waiting, I might as well help take over the job quota.
Jiang Shuangshuang became more and more satisfied as she listened. She stared at Cheng Yichen, who was still a little dumbfounded, and murmured, "It's pretty good."
"Ah? No... If I really take over, then who will tutor Jiang Xiaozhou... Well, I'd better take over." As Cheng Yichen was talking, he found that between taking over and tutoring, taking over is obviously better!
Although I don't like going to work, tutoring Jiang Xiaozhou is even more exciting!
He was afraid that if he continued tutoring, he would lose his love for learning!
"No." Cheng Jin shook his head at him. "The class has to go on, and the tutoring has to continue. You can discuss it with the other two comrades, and you can continue teaching after work."
“…”
"????"
Cheng Yichen thought seriously about the possibility that he would run back home overnight. He really didn't want to stay here anymore! His cousin was even scarier than his parents.
Not only is it "terrible", it's also quite exploitative.
In Cheng Jin's mind, how could his younger brother not be exploited? Although he was only his cousin, he was no different from his biological brother, so he had to take classes, give tutoring, and even hand over his salary.
Jiang Shuangshuang still couldn't bear to watch it, "Give one third of it, and the rest will be used to cover tutoring fees, food and accommodation fees."
She was really afraid of exploiting him too much, so such an all-round brother ran away overnight.
But Cheng Yichen couldn't leave, and Jiang Shuangshuang was about to leave.
Three days may not seem like a short time, but time flies by when everything needs to be arranged properly.
Handing over work, packing up, it seems like time has passed in the blink of an eye...
