Chapter 136 What if You Forgot Me?
Because there are many ingredients in the space, there is no need to save on the New Year's Eve dinner, and the leftovers can be put back into the space, and the taste will not change when you take them out. Jiang Rong prepared a lot of dishes, but it is estimated that it will take an entire afternoon to prepare and an hour to eat...
Their appetites are now just like those of normal people, and they can no longer eat as much as they did before.
In addition, Jiang Rong's cooking skills have improved a lot compared to the end of the world. He has been studying food in his spare time in recent years, and has made some progress.
Sometimes when she was too lazy to cook, she would send the two younger ones, Jiang Suan and Qi Hao, to the kitchen with recipes to figure out how to make their dinner.
For example, lemon chicken feet. After a few years, their cooking skills are not much worse than Jiang Rong's.
Of course, overall, what she cooked was still a little bit better than what the two of them cooked.
Grandma, who usually doesn't do anything in the afternoon, also helped to prepare the ingredients. There were a few of grandma's specialties, and Jiang Rong even asked grandma to be the chef.
The dishes my grandma cooks have a special farm-style feel. The seasonings are very simple, but the heat is always controlled just right.
Jiang Rong loves to eat it anyway.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Rong was wearing an apron and cutting vegetables in the kitchen at the moment. There was a knock on the door. It might be the families in the village who wanted to borrow something at this time.
Jiang Rong didn't even need to give any instructions as Jiang Suan and Qi Hao rushed out.
Afterwards, Jiang Rong in the kitchen heard a burst of cheerful noises, all kinds of noises, but all of them were "Happy New Year, Happy New Year" one after another.
Most of the voices were familiar to her.
She had no time to cut vegetables at the moment. Just as she was about to take off her apron and go out, a familiar shadow flew in front of her.
A very familiar hug, a very familiar voice, a very familiar smell.
"Rongrong, I missed you so much!!! Oh! We won't leave after we come back this time, woooo, I'm finally back." Zhao Caier ran in, and when she saw Jiang Rong, she hugged him tightly, and then refused to let go for a long time.
When the end of the world came to an end, Grandpa Zhao was ordered to stay in Beijing to help with medical treatment because he was proficient in Chinese medicine and his medical skills were among those of a hidden master. He also had resolved the knot in his heart that had been knotted for many years.
If the two elders of the Zhao family don't leave, Zhao Runguo definitely can't leave. If Zhao Runguo doesn't leave, Aunt Chen definitely can't leave either. As a result, Zhao Caier can't leave her whole family and go back to Qingshan Village.
It’s different now. The situation has stabilized everywhere.
Her old man can finally take off his armor and return home.
Zhao Caier has been longing to come back every day in the past few years, but because the communication here is not good, she can't even write to Rongrong.
Jiang Rong was also happy when he saw Cai'er: "I'm glad you're back. You guys are really on time. If you were any later, you wouldn't have enough time to have the New Year's Eve dinner."
The two of them talked in low voices in the kitchen for a while, and then people from outside came into the kitchen one after another, including Xin Jue, Xin's grandmother, and the children and elders of Cai'er's family.
Everyone greeted each other and had rare happy smiles on their faces.
And lily of the valley.
She now had long hair draped over her shoulders, and was wearing a light blue cotton jacket and white casual pants. She looked much gentler, less fierce than before.
When Jiang Rong brought his family back that year, he found that Linglan seemed to have some feelings for Xin Jue, so he deliberately did not let her come back with him, but asked Xin Jue to keep her under his command, intentionally bringing them together.
It was a rare opportunity for her to be a matchmaker in her lifetime, and she had no idea what the two people were doing now.
Everyone chatted for a while in the kitchen, and then the old people went out one after another. Jiang Suan and Qi Hao poured tea. The old people sat in the living room and chatted happily and lively, while the young people stayed in the kitchen to help.
The children were also driven into the living room.
The kitchen is so small that it would be hard to move around if there are too many people.
Because more people were helping, the process went faster. Jiang Rong pulled the grandmother who was still helping out, sat her on the small sofa, and chatted with everyone. After not seeing each other for so many years, the little old ladies must have a lot to talk about.
Back in the kitchen, Jiang Rong pulled Cai'er and Linglan to a corner, then made eyes at them and gossiped a lot.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Jiang Rong whispered to Linglan.
"There's hope." When Zhao Caier heard that this was what Jiang Rong wanted to ask, she excitedly looked at Xin Jue who was a little further away.
Then he turned back, with a lewd expression and a cheerful tone of voice.
Linglan tugged at Caier's sleeve: "Caier, keep your voice down."
"I'm speaking very softly. He's a blockhead and can't hear or understand me." Zhao Caier said with a giggle.
"That's good, that's good. Find a time to tell me about it in detail. Haha, I'll help you with some advice." Jiang Rong raised an eyebrow at Linglan with a wretched look on his face. She had lived a lot of leisurely days, and there were few people in the village. There had been nothing new for her to gossip about for a long time.
"Rongrong, stop talking about Lily of the Valley. What about you? Did your lover from another world really not tell you when he will come back?" Zhao Caier changed the subject and started asking about Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong's smile faded a little when she heard that. She didn't know how she felt about Qin Sang. She didn't feel anything when he was around. She just felt that the more they spent time together, the more accustomed and natural they became. The two of them could stay together the whole day without saying a word. It was just more comfortable, and there was no other feeling.
But after he left completely, Jiang Rong began to dream about him often for unknown reasons.
At first she didn't feel anything, just indifferent, because he had just left not long ago. Jiang Rong always felt that he should come back. At least the problem over there was solved, so he should come back to take a look, right?
But as time went by, one year, two years, three years, he left and there was no news, but she dreamed of him more and more frequently.
To be honest, the feeling of loss every time I wake up and realize it was all a dream is quite exhausting.
She also didn't know why she could still dream about his experiences in another world. Sometimes she even wondered if her imagination was too rich or her brain was too active, because of all the mess she dreamed about.
However, putting aside those strange scenes from another world, just looking at the scenes in the dream, they are very real, so real that Jiang Rong would be worried if he saw him surrounded by enemies on all sides, worried if he saw him being attacked from all sides, worried if he saw him being cursed by others, and worried if he saw him being seriously injured.
But recently, she had been dreaming less and had a rare good night's sleep.
But this made Jiang Rong feel a little uncomfortable and empty.
However, Jiang Rong felt that she might be too idle. After a few years of stability, she would go to the new world in the space to explore and divert her attention.
Jiang Rong shook his head.
"Oh, it's okay. He's just a man, nothing. If we miss that blade of grass, there is still a large forest behind us~" Zhao Caier began to spread her "golden words" to Jiang Rong.
I don’t know why, but right after I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck.
Jiang Rong chuckled and nodded: "Indeed."
The three of them chatted in private for a while and then continued to help. Jiang Rong and Zhao Caier worked together to occupy the other vacant seats, cleared the seat next to Xin Jue, and moved Linglan over there.
"There's no room left, Linglan. We two still need to talk in private. Just stay here and help cut the vegetables~" Zhao Caier smiled. She was really worried about the love life and career of her stupid childhood friend.
It was rare for Linglan to stand so close to Xin Jue. Her body stiffened, her hands were cutting vegetables very stiffly, and her face and ears were red.
Xin Jue, who was standing aside, was concentrating on doing the task assigned by Chen Ma, and did not deliberately listen to the whispers of the three girls at home. When he saw Linglan's stiff movements and tense body, he thought she was too cold.
"You sit there and make a fire to keep warm, and I'll cut the vegetables." Xin Jue said seriously.
Lily of the Valley's face felt slightly hot and she shook her head. She didn't want to go far, and she wasn't cold!
"No, I'm not cold, thank you."
Xin Jue looked at her in confusion, but she looked very cold, with her face red from the cold.
"Don't be so stubborn."
"Well, I'm... not really cold."
…
Zhao Caier and Jiang Rong were watching secretly from the other side.
"Xin Jue, this kid... Hahaha, what a big idiot. Linglan is clearly blushing, blushing!!! And it's not cold in the kitchen right now, the heater is not on, why does he still think that a girl is cold!" Zhao Caier giggled and laughed as quietly as possible.
Jiang Rong also smiled and shook his head.
She thought Xin Jue was usually thoughtful, steady and deep, but this was indeed a little hard to understand...
An hour later, when half of the dishes were ready, the door of the Jiang family rang again.
Jiang Rong now has time to come out and take a look.
It was her third uncle Jiang Hua who brought Manman back.
Jiang Rong took advantage of the chaos to step forward and call for people, and then the elders talked about the past. She also pulled Manman into the kitchen, and the four little sisters began another half-hour tea party.
The final meal wasn't officially ready until 6:30 in the evening.
There are still three large tables.
This time, the four children sat at one table, Jiang Rong and several young people sat at one table, and the elders sat at a long table.
Drinks, fruits and pastries are available.
There are also three big cakes.
But it’s not a special birthday celebration for anyone. No one has paid much attention to this in recent years, so Jiang Rong simply brought it out and let everyone have a try.
Jiang Rong liked to eat cream, so he cut a large piece of the sweet but not greasy cream from the strawberry cake on their table and ate it slowly, while listening to Cai'er talking about what had happened to them outside in the past few years.
The lively meal lasted until almost nine o'clock in the evening.
The custom here is not to clean on New Year's Day, so Jiang Rong just put the unfinished dishes into the space.
After that, a group of people went out. At the door, Jiang Rong took out a lot of fireworks and firecrackers from the space, enough for everyone to play for a long time.
When she was on her way to the end of the world, she passed by a large fireworks factory. Because these firecrackers are not edible, they were basically the same as they were before the end of the world. Jiang Rong hoarded whatever she saw, so there were quite a few in the space now.
At this time, not only here, but also around Qingshan Village and even the county town, there were sounds of firecrackers one after another, and huge fireworks were set off in the sky.
On the ground, the two sisters Nan Nan were playing with small fireworks, Jiang Rong and others were setting off big fireworks, Jiang Suan was excitedly playing with firecrackers with Qi Hao, and Xin Jue and the others were watching and laughing at the people who were playing.
Several other families in the village also came out one after another at this time. Some of them had children. Jiang Rong was not stingy and invited everyone to come and play when he saw them. However, in the end, only a few younger ones came to play together. The others just watched from the sidelines, looking at the huge and dazzling fireworks in the sky, and looking at the children having fun under the fireworks, with satisfied smiles in their eyes.
Jiang Rong and Ling Lan were completely forced to stay here. They had originally just wanted to stay with Cai Er and Man Man for a while, but when they wanted to leave, Cai Er Fei pulled them back and refused to leave...
Jiang Rong looked at the fireworks in his hands that kept glowing and blooming, his eyes slightly curved, and his heart felt unprecedented peace and happiness.
She shifted her gaze towards the sky, her eyes distant and indifferent, as if she was trying to see through the pitch-black night to a black star in the distant interstellar space.
In his dream, the world he lived in was always shrouded in a black fog.
I also hope that he will have everything going well, peace and happiness in the days to come.
Jiang Rong made his New Year wish looking at the fireworks.
However, she didn't know if it was because of her eyesight, but when she opened her eyes again, the person she had just been thinking about was actually standing in front of her.
Jiang Rong stared at it in a daze.
I thought she was dreaming again.
But when she looked at him for a long time, and even reached out to touch his sleeve, he did not disappear suddenly like he did before.
"You." Her voice tightened slightly.
"You're back?" Jiang Rong's tone was full of uncertainty.
“I’m back.”
Qin Sang curled his lips lightly, his ink-black pupils filled with a smile, and there was a hint of not-so-obvious longing and relaxation hidden in his eyes.
Jiang Rong stood still, looked up and down again, and then there was something strange in his eyes.
"Well, um, how about you tell me what those dreams of mine are about?!" Jiang Rong looked at Qin Sang's outfit opposite her, which was exactly the same as what she had seen in her dream before.
But in fact, she had never seen this kind of clothes in real life before!
Qin Sang's eyes avoided for once when he heard that, and then he muttered something in a low voice.
"If I don't let you look at me more often, what will you do if you forget about me?"
