Chapter 405: It’s too late, it’s too late for this lifetime.
Wen Jiu turned around and didn't see anyone. Just when he was feeling strange, he saw Cheng Jiajun coming from the side. He was wearing a black coat and a red scarf, and his eyes were full of surprise.
"It really is you."
"I thought I was seeing things!"
Ever since the last time Lu Beiye brought Wenjiu to return his umbrella and clothes, he hasn't seen Wenjiu again.
"Jiajun."
"Why are you here?" Wenjiu was a little surprised to meet him here.
Cheng Jiajun said with a smile: "I am here to buy New Year's goods. Are you here to buy New Year's goods too?"
"Are you in a hurry?"
"There's a teahouse nearby. The snacks there are pretty good. If you're not in a hurry, let's go have a cup of tea."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "You're in a hurry. I still haven't bought a lot of things! I'll invite you to have tea next time when I have time."
"I've made a note of that."
"You can't go back on your word. After all, we are old classmates."
Cheng Jiajun had a gentle smile on his face, and he knew just the right measure so as not to make Wen Jiu feel disgusted.
She nodded, "Of course."
"good."
"Then you go ahead and do your work! I'm leaving first."
After the two of them parted, Wen Jiu picked out the fabric for Wen Chuji to make clothes, and also picked out a piece for Lu Beiye. He also bought some miscellaneous things for his family. After buying everything, he went out from the street with the things he bought and prepared to go home.
Cheng Jiajun was about to go and help, but he saw Wenjiu take out the car keys from his pocket, open the car door, put the things in and drive away. His hand, which he had not even had time to reach out, was frozen in his pocket. There was no need to take it out, and he had no reason to use the excuse that he had been brewing for a long time.
In the falling snow——
He stood there and watched Wenjiu leave, with a bitter smile on his face.
It's too late.
This life is too late.
——
military compound.
As soon as Wenjiu parked the car, he stuck his head out of the window and shouted loudly.
"Wen Jinyan!"
"Come out and help!"
As soon as she finished her words, Wen Jinyan rushed out like a scissors released from a bow.
"Warm little wine?"
"Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Wen Jiu replied: "Go home for the New Year!"
"Going home for the New Year?"
Wen Jinyan seemed to be frightened, and her voice rose eight octaves.
"You don't want Lu Beiye anymore?"
Wen Jiu raised his hand and slapped him hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "Wen Xiaogouer, what is in your head? What do you mean I don't want him anymore?"
"He's away on a mission."
"Oh, so that's it!" Wen Jinyan said as she bent down to get something from the car. "Mom has already bought everything for the New Year, why did you buy so much?"
“What I bought must be useful!”
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and move my things to my house."
While the brother and sister were arguing, Chu Xiuli came out of the house. Even Old Man Wen stood at the door with a cane. Everyone in the family was very happy that she could come back to celebrate the New Year.
"Is Jiu back?"
"Oh, it's lively again this year!" Old Master Wen was smiling happily.
"Grandpa, let's go home. It's cold outside." Wen Jiu said as he walked forward, held Grandpa Wen's arm, pulled him back into the house to sit down, and poured him a glass of water and held it in his hand.
"Hurry up and drink some water to warm yourself up."
"Okay, okay, you drink too."
Grandpa Wen smiled and took out a few candies from his pocket. "Try them quickly. Your Grandpa Jiang gave them to you two days ago. He said his granddaughter bought them from outside. What a coincidence! He said they are very expensive and delicious."
Wen Jinyan replied quietly, "That's called chocolate!"
"Yes, yes, chocolate!" Old Master Wen looked at Wen Jiu with anticipation.
"Try it and see if it tastes good."
He had carried it with him for too long, and the chocolate had melted due to his body temperature and stuck to the candy wrapper.
Wenjiu managed to tear the paper apart with great difficulty. She couldn't take out the chocolate so she could only chew it. Her teeth turned black from chewing it, and her mouth looked like there was a hole in her front tooth caused by worms.
“It’s delicious, grandpa.”
"It's sweet and has a milky flavor."
Hearing Wen Jiu's words, Old Master Wen laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears.
"That's good, that's good."
Wen Jinyan said resentfully, "Grandpa, are you a little too partial? You would rather warm up the chocolate than give it to me."
Old Master Wen exclaimed, "What kind of candy are you eating as a boy? Snacks and candies are for girls."
"Boys can't eat candy."
"It's easy to become a gigolo."
The pretty boys he was referring to were those men with pale and clean faces, who were as thin as a stick and looked like they would fall down if the wind blew.
The older generation doesn't like that kind of thing, and thinks it's unmanly and unreliable.
Wen Jinyan was speechless, "Grandpa, I think I need to correct you. I am 15 years old, not 5. Don't I know whether eating candy will turn me into a gigolo?"
Grandpa Wen sighed, "It's hard to lie to your grandson now that he's grown up!"
Wen Jiu laughed so hard that he stuffed the remaining chocolates into Wen Jinyan's pocket.
Wen Jinyan raised her eyebrows, "For me?" You still have some conscience!
He was about to be moved!
Who knew that the wine warmer would say, "What are you thinking? I want you to take it outside and put it on the windowsill to freeze it for me."
"It's too edible now!"
Wen Jinyan: “…” Bai was moved.
He stood up angrily, took the chocolate from the wine warmer's hand and took it to the windowsill outside. He was afraid that it would be taken away by the children in the yard, so he used a mallet on the windowsill to block it.
After Chu Xiuli came back from warming the wine, she hurried to the kitchen to cook. It was not convenient for the mother and daughter to talk in private because there were so many people around.
After dinner in the evening, without Chu Xiuli saying anything, Wen Zhenhua very consciously took his pillow and quilt to Wen Jinyan's room, which made Wen Jinyan feel both disgusted and helpless.
The bed sheets were changed to the blue color that Wenjiu liked, including the quilt cover and pillowcases. After taking a shower, Wenjiu threw himself on the bed and felt relaxed all over.
"mother……"
"I missed you so much!"
Wenjiu lay in Chu Xiuli's arms, holding her waist and acting like a child.
Chu Xiuli lowered her head and touched Wenjiu's head lovingly, saying angrily, "Girl, I feel like you won't grow up even after another ten years."
Wen Jiu raised his head and said with a smile: "As long as my mother is here, I am a child! I will always be my mother's child."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"You are a child as long as your mother is with you." Seeing that the warm wine was not applied to her face, Chu Xiuli reached out and took the lotion from the windowsill cabinet, rubbed it on her face, and applied it gently and evenly.
"My daughter is so beautiful."
"It's just that there's a little darkness under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night? You must be upset that Aye is on a mission right after the New Year?"
Having received education and seen the world, she is better at expressing her emotions than ordinary mothers, and is more tolerant and guiding.
Wen Jiu did not hide his feelings. "Yes."
