The godmother and godfather came from Chongqing and sat in the living room, staring at Long Yixing and his two siblings. When Ouyang rushed back, Mu Jiang had just changed his clothes and came out of his room. He only learned about this when he rushed home. The two elders insisted that Mu Jiang call her, saying, "Ouyang never listens to us. You can beat him better than us."
Long and his group had no experience in meeting parents, so they could only answer whatever they asked.
"What do you do?"
"Firefighters!"
Wang Yao shook her head: "How did you two meet?"
"During another rescue, she was trapped in the fire."
When Father Xia heard this, he said, "You saved our Ouyang? Thank you so much. Last time, there was a fire in the area where she used to live. We were worried that something might happen to her, so we called her Uncle Zhuo and told him that she was fine. That's why we didn't come. So it was you who saved her. Thank you so much."
"Ahem!" Wang Yao reminded her husband, "Watch your stance."
Father Xia just smiled politely. In his opinion, as long as a person is honest and kind, it doesn't matter what kind of job he does.
"Godmother and godfather, why are you here?" Ouyang rushed back and stood in the yard for a while before coming in.
"What? We can't come?"
Father Xia said, "We learned the address from your Uncle Zhuo, so we thought we'd come over to see you."
"You guys can come whenever you want," Ouyang glanced at Long Yihang and his siblings, "Do you know each other?"
"I've introduced them," said Father Xia. "What wonderful children they are."
Seeing Mu Jiang coming downstairs, Long Yinuan ran to his side, as if looking for a sense of security. She had been afraid of talking to her elders since she was a child, and now, even her hands were shaking when she saw them.
"Does Jin Lu know about your affairs?" Godmother asked directly.
This made Xia's father not know how to help Ouyang. He just asked Ouyang not to scare her godmother: "Your godmother is worried about Jin Lu. I don't know how he is doing."
"Godmother, he's my brother! We all know it, and he knows it too. There's nothing to say. It's just you who's making things complicated."
Long Yixing wanted to stop her from talking like that. After all, she was the one who raised her: "Ouyang!"
"Okay, okay!" Godmother stood up. "None of you feel sorry for him, only I, as his mother, do."
"Ouyang, speak nicely and don't make your mother angry." said the godfather.
Long Yinuan, who was standing next to Mu Jiang, noticed that he was trembling and looked up: "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Jiang rolled his eyes at her and said, "The adults are talking, why are you speaking?"
In Long Yinuan's opinion, he was gloating.
"Mujiang," Ouyang called, "Go clean up a room. Remember, wash the things you just bought before you use them."
After hearing her say this, the godmother felt better, after all, she still knew her habit. Father Xia carried a lot of things into the kitchen. Since he retired, he has formed an indissoluble bond with this kitchen.
Long Yixing wanted to help him, but he refused, saying that he could do it alone.
It was a rare opportunity for Wang Yao and Ouyang to sit together.
"Ouyang," said the godmother, "I'm not forcing you to do anything with Jin Lu. I just hope you can take some time to care for him. After all, he is your brother."
"Godmother, I understand the truth, but don't you think that my concern for him will do him no good?"
"The problems between you two will take time to heal," she sighed. "I don't expect him to find me a daughter-in-law or give me a big, fat grandson. I just hope he can live a happy life."
"Godmother," her words put a heavy pressure on her, "I'll go see him when I have a chance."
"That's good."
With two people at home, the place suddenly felt much more lively. Father Xia came to see former colleagues, browse for books, and see exhibitions. Wang Yao's mother had a fairly consistent routine: in the morning, someone would make breakfast, then she'd go to Jin Lu's house, where she'd stay all day and return in the evening. The rest of the time, when no one was home, she'd find something to do.
After school in the afternoon, Mu Jiang went to Long Yinuan's class and said, "I won't be back at night, so you have to go back by yourself later."
Long Yinuan nodded. She knew that Mu Jiang didn't like the two elders in the family, so he often avoided them.
Ouyang's work is not too busy. Most of the things are done by her subordinates. She can solve the problems just by using her eyes and brain.
"Hello!" Ouyang received a call from the police saying that Mu Jiang had gotten into trouble again. School had just ended, and he had run into someone else's grocery store and started a fight.
When she saw Mu Jiang, he was sleeping on a chair with injuries on his face and hands. It took a long time to get Mu Jiang to leave with her.
Mu Jiang sat in her car: "I want to go to the countryside!"
"You're really capable of making a fuss." Ouyang turned a corner and arrived at the supermarket he often went to. She didn't have to think too much about it. Almost every time he fought with others, it was because of this friend who dropped out of school and stayed home. "I know you don't want him to know how much you've helped him behind the scenes, but as a friend, you should tell him about your current situation. You have to know that you can't protect him forever."
Friends are such precious things in their eyes, but the very word "friends" has left so many regrets.
