Chapter 38 The humble young master
Jiang Chu's hometown is in a small county called Xiangli.
This county town is very small, which is the size of the town that Su Qingyu knows a little better about, and the location is also remote. After they got off the train, they had to take a bus. By the time they arrived, it was already close to ten o'clock at night.
At this time, the night market in the small county town was still open, and Su Qingyu and Xi Qinghe went straight to the night market.
Xi Qinghe pushed his suitcase into the night market and received looks from all directions.
Nowadays, there are no night markets in the city centers of many cities. Even if there are night markets, they are standard and clean stalls.
In this food street, there are still very traditional stalls arranged in a mess on both sides of the road. The trash cans in the center of the road are piled with various wooden picks and drink bottles. They overflow a lot and stretch messily on the ground.
The aroma of all kinds of heavy-tasting fried food fills your nose, and the people who come and go here seem to be covered in oil.
Xi Qinghe is out of tune here.
Either he was dressed in an unusual way, or he felt like he shouldn't be here because of his temperament.
Under the gaze of many people, he walked to a stall selling stinky tofu.
The aunt selling stinky tofu was a little surprised when she saw him. She wiped her hands on her apron and asked him a little restrainedly: "Do you want to eat stinky tofu?"
Xi Qinghe nodded to her and asked her: "Auntie, are you Jiang Chu's mother? I am Jiang Chu's... senior."
"Yes, yes!" When she heard that he was Jiang Chu's senior, she became even more nervous. She wanted to wipe her hands on her apron again. Perhaps she noticed that there were oil stains on the apron, so she reached behind her and wiped her hands on her back. Wipe, "Jiang Chu, what's wrong with him?"
"Don't be nervous, it's okay." Xi Qinghe said, "He asked me to bring you a gift."
As soon as she heard that Jiang Chu was fine, Jin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine as long as everything's fine. This kid is so serious, why bring any gifts?"
Saying this, Jin Wanwan still looked at him expectantly.
For some reason, Xi Qinghe was silent for a while. When Jin Wanwan was a little strange and started to panic, he spoke, "The gift is behind you."
Jin Wanwan turned around suddenly and saw her son with crooked eyes in the mess.
"mom!"
Jin Wanwan's eyes were red with surprise and she almost shed tears.
She hurriedly walked to him and touched his arm, "Chuchu, Chuchu, why are you back? Aren't you busy at work?"
There was a young man eating barbecue on the street. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, pointed at them and said: "Them! I know them! It's on the hot search, they came back to build their hometown! Damn it! Eat melons until you have your own home." !”
Xiangli County is relatively backward. Even the older people here don’t know what hot searches are, but young people do.
As soon as he said this, the young people around him looked at Su Qingyu and Xi Qinghe, and many raised their mobile phones to take pictures.
Jin Wanwan asked in surprise and confusion: "Chu Chu, what's going on?"
Su Qingyu said: "Mom, I will work at home from now on. You won't think that I failed to live up to expectations after finally passing the exam, right?"
Before Jin Wanwan could say anything, the young man on the street shouted, very exaggeratedly: "Now the whole country is praising him!"
The older people around him were all curious after hearing this.
"Everyone in the country praises you?"
"what happened?"
More and more young people gathered around, showing them their mobile phones or talking to them.
"Oh, that's awesome!"
"I know this, I read this newspaper back then!"
"Jin Wanwan, your son is so awesome!"
Jin Wanwan wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Before, she might have wanted her son to stay in a big city and develop. When her life was about to come to an end, of course she would be happy for her son to come back. Besides, she had always supported all her son's decisions.
"Come back soon, mom misses you too." She pulled Jiang Chu to the small table, "Are you hungry?"
"And you, senior." Jin Wanwan said, "I will close the stall and go back to cook for you."
Su Qingyu said: "Mom, we ate in the car and we're not hungry. Just give us a box of stinky tofu. Nothing I eat outside is as good as yours. I'm greedy."
Jin Wanwan smiled even more happily, "Oh! Sit down, you'll be fine soon."
There were two simple folding tables behind the stall. Not long after Su Qingyu and Xi Qinghe sat down on the small benches, Jin Wanwan brought them two large boxes of freshly fried stinky tofu.
"Eat it while it's hot. There's not enough left."
Su Qingyu picked up the chopsticks and put a piece into his mouth, sighing and eating with happiness on his face.
There were still people watching them on the street. Su Qingyu finished eating a piece of stinky tofu and said to the people outside: "Don't just look at it. Let me tell you, my mother's fried stinky tofu is absolutely delicious. I have never eaten anything better than hers." Make it more delicious!”
When people around heard this, they all went to Jin Wanwan's place to buy stinky tofu.
Jin Wanwan happily put pieces of stinky tofu into the oil pan and put two more pieces in the box for everyone.
Not many people were pointing their phones at them, so Su Qingyu looked at Xi Qinghe.
He ate another piece, but Xi Qinghe hadn't moved his chopsticks yet.
In Xu Yunhan's world, Jiang Huiyin is very healthy in terms of work, rest and diet, and rarely eats from roadside stalls.
Where is Xi Qinghe?
Su Qingyu said: "Actually, stinky tofu is a healthy food, and my mother always uses good oil. It is definitely not junk food. Nowadays, the taste of stinky tofu is becoming more and more popular. It smells a little smelly, but it tastes very delicious. "
Su Qingyu said something, then tilted her head slightly to look at Xi Qinghe, who had the aura of mountain snow lotus in the night market, "Eat some?"
Jin Wanwan's small table is just that small. Two tall people over 1.8 meters tall sit here, and the space is packed into an intimate space.
Su Qingyu's face was right in front of him, and his peach blossom eyes reflected the excitement of the night market and him.
Xi Qinghe looked at him for several seconds, then looked down at the stinky tofu, "Well, I eat everything, I don't hate stinky tofu."
"I can't tell. I think you are quite picky."
Xi Qinghe's eyes moved slightly, he clenched his chopsticks, picked up a piece of stinky tofu and put it in his mouth. The stinky tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soaked in soup, salty and slightly spicy, and full of the aroma of human fireworks.
Su Qingyu asked: "Is it delicious?"
Xi Qinghe's quiet and cool eyes were a little bright, and he smiled and said to him: "It is indeed delicious."
Su Qingyu looked at his eyes and was stunned for a moment. Looking at him, he seemed to see the child again.
The boy he pulled out from the hole in the wall of the dead and dead village was no longer in that gloomy village, but at a roadside stall.
He seemed to be taking the boy to eat, and his lifeless eyes also lit up.
Su Qingyu shook her head, "If it tastes good, just eat more."
Jin Wanwan was frying stinky tofu for the guests. She looked back from time to time and saw the two people sitting on the small plastic bench, eating the stinky tofu with satisfaction, and the smile on her face became brighter.
She handed the last box of stinky tofu to the customer and said to the others: "I'm sorry, it's the last box. Come back tomorrow."
Many people came to buy it because of Su Qingyu's words. It can be seen that other people were full of praise after eating it, and their mouths were watering because of the taste. They really wanted to eat it. When Jin Wanwan said it was the last box, they all became very excited. regret.
"Boss, don't you still have some over there? Can you give me a box?"
"Yes, there is tofu there."
Jin Wanwan smiled and said, "I won't sell these anymore. I'll give them to my son."
It's for their son who just came home. What else can they say? Can they compare with other people's sons?
Everyone dispersed upon hearing this.
Jin Wanwan said to them, "Come back tomorrow night" while happily putting the stinky tofu left in the pan.
The night market was almost over, and when she came over with two boxes of stinky tofu, the man selling fruit diagonally opposite cut a watermelon and brought it over, "Chu Wa, eat it!"
Su Qingyu: "Thank you, Grandpa Li."
Jin Wanwan also said: "Thank you, Uncle Li."
She gave the stinky tofu to the two children, and when she saw the watermelon, she sighed with emotion: "I still remember that Chu Chu followed me to the night market when she was a child, and she often went to Uncle Li's to eat melon."
Grandpa Li gestured with a smile, "Yes, so tall. He squatted next to me obediently and helped me collect the money."
Jin Wanwan remembered everything about her son very clearly, "One time Chu Chu was sitting under the tree behind Uncle Li doing homework. Uncle Li gave Chu Chu a watermelon. Seeing Chu Chu doing arithmetic, he asked him if he could calculate how big the watermelon was. , he couldn’t figure it out at the time and didn’t eat the watermelon.”
"He took the watermelon home, put it in a bucket filled with water, and used a measuring cup to collect the water and calculate it. I watched him figure it out, but I was still not satisfied."
Jin Wanwan's face showed pride and happiness, "He always remembers that when he was in high school, he came home once and told us very happily that he could calculate it using double points."
She even remembers "double points."
Uncle Li laughed heartily and said, "I forgot about it at the time and couldn't understand it. I was blinded."
Jin Wanwan said with a smile: "But you still praised him and rewarded him with a watermelon. He ate that watermelon very happily."
The two talked about Jiang Chu's childhood, smiling happily.
Su Qingyu has watched the world plot, but it is impossible for him to have watched all the 22 years of Jiang Chu's life. What he mainly watched was what happened after meeting the scumbag. He didn't know these little things. When he listened to them, his lips filled with tears. laugh.
After listening for a while, he turned to look at Xi Qinghe and saw that he was holding his mobile phone and recording everything.
On the bus, he told him that he wanted to shoot something for a video when he came back.
He should have found the moment worthy of recording.
Su Qingyu looked at it for a few seconds, then looked back at Jin Wanwan.
There were fewer and fewer lights in the night market, and at twelve o'clock at night, they packed up their stalls and went home.
Jin Wanwan's car was too small to fit other people. Fortunately, Uncle Li's small truck was big. After the two helped Uncle Li put the remaining fruits from the sale, they went back in his small truck.
There are two night markets in Xiangli County. This night market is the more remote one, but it is close to where the two families live.
In such a small county town, the dividing line between high-rise buildings and tile-roofed houses is not that clear. The small truck passes through three roads of high-rise buildings, and right in front of us are rural tile-roofed houses.
That's where Jiang Chu grew up, and Uncle Li also lived there.
Uncle Li first sent the two of them to their home, and then drove the minivan back to his home. Before leaving, he left some fruit for Jiang Chu and the guests.
Jin Wanwan and Jiang Chu's home is a small yard. Some flowers and vegetables are planted in the yard, and they are all well taken care of.
Originally, a guest room could be vacated in this kind of yard, but the two of them came back suddenly, and Jin Wanwan didn't have time to clean up the guest room filled with raw tofu.
Jin Wanwan said to Xi Qinghe embarrassedly: "Just sleep in the same room as Chu Chu tonight. I will take care of it tomorrow."
"..."
【……】
Xi Qinghe was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "No need to feel wronged, no need to bother."
Seeing that he didn't mind, Jin Wanwan said "Hey" and said to them: "It's very late. You should go and wash up. Our house has a solar water heater and there is enough hot water."
They all asked Jin Wanwan to wash up first.
By the time they finished packing their luggage, Jin Wanwan had already finished washing, and Su Qingyu asked Xi Qinghe to wash first.
When Xi Qinghe was taking a bath in the bathroom, Su Qingyu glanced over there, and 527 saw it.
It immediately said to Su Qingyu: [Host, don’t like Xi Qinghe, he likes women. 】
Su Qingyu: [……]
Su Qingyu: [How do you know he likes women? 】
527 Heng Heng: [Not only do I know that he likes women, I also know that he likes women with brown curly hair who are caring and raise dogs. 】
Su Qingyu: [? 】
527 said happily: [Look, the two people you want to talk to do not like men. At that time, Jiang Huiyin also said that he was not gay. 】
Su Qingyu: [……]
When did he think about it?
Talking to 527 in his mind, Xi Qinghe came back after washing.
He changed into a pair of loose white pajamas, and when he raised his hand to wipe his hair, his abdominal muscles appeared and disappeared.
Su Qingyu glanced at it and said to 527: [Don't you think his figure is the same as Jiang Huiyin's? 】
527:【? 】
527【You can tell just by looking at it? Scumbag! 】
Su Qingyu: [……]
Su Qingyu silently took her pajamas to wash. When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned to look at Xi Qinghe, and after two seconds, asked, "Do you like women?"
Xi Qinghe wiped his hair for a moment, then said after a few seconds: "I don't like it."
Su Qingyu said "Oh" expressionlessly, and laughed at 527 in her head.
527:【……? 】
Xi Qinghe doesn't like women, so why is he smiling at that woman.
After Su Qingyu finished washing, he did not go back to his and Xi Qinghe's house. Instead, he knocked on Jin Wanwan's door with a hair dryer and asked Jin Wanwan to blow dry his hair.
Jin Wanwan took the hair dryer helplessly but happily, "Chu Chu, I see you are much more lively this time than last time. Is it because of that senior of yours?"
Su Qingyu: "..."
Su Qingyu didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
In front of a mother, he really couldn't be exactly the same as Jiang Chu. Some of the "changes" that were inadvertently revealed had to have some reason.
Su Qingyu didn't think about what to say, but Jin Wanwan took silence as acquiescence. She laughed and said, "It seems I was right to let you sleep in the same room."
Su Qingyu: "..."
Unexpectedly, Jin Wanwan was more open-minded than her son Jiang Chu.
She is so open-minded, perhaps because she knows that she may not live long.
A dying person can see everything. She especially wants her son to live happily in the future, so what else does she care about.
The short hair was dried quickly, and the room became quiet after the hair dryer was turned off.
Su Qingyu said directly: "Mom, you go for a heart transplant. I have prepared the money."
Jin Wanwan was shocked. She hadn't decided whether to tell her son, so how could he know about it? The money is also ready.
Su Qingyu: "The last time you came to see me, I saw that you were feeling unwell, so I called to find out."
Jin Wanwan always thought her son was smart, so she trusted him blindly. She did not doubt his words, but asked: "Where did you get so much money?"
Su Qingyu: "I borrowed it from Xi Qinghe. His family is very rich, so this million is nothing to him."
Jin Wanwan was still a little hesitant, "That's one million. How long will it take to pay it back?"
Su Qingyu took the hairdryer from her hand, sat her down on a chair, hugged her neck from behind, and put his head on her shoulders, "Ms. Jin Wanwan, isn't your life worth a million?"
"Even if you think you are not worth it, my mother's life cannot but be worth a million."
Jin Wanwan smiled softly.
Su Qingyu said: "Mom, although I can't remember many things, I know that my father loved you very much. After my father died, I should continue to love you well."
"My mother used to raise me, but now that I have graduated from college, I can take good care of my mother."
Jin Wanwan's eyes turned red at what he said, and her mouth was choked with sobs.
Jin Wanwan, who has been working hard for more than ten years, has rough skin and wrinkles around her eyes, was once someone's "Wanwan" who loved her.
She had almost forgotten it, but her son, who couldn't remember anything at the time, still remembered it.
Su Qingyu said: "Nothing is more important than our family living well together, right?"
Jin Wanwan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Yes."
Su Qingyu said: "I have found a way to make money. Mom will go to the hospital with peace of mind tomorrow."
Jin Wanwan touched his hand and said, "Chu Chu, mom used to be a beloved daughter and wife, but that doesn't mean she can't endure hardship. Besides, she never felt bitter as a mother. Every time she sees you, she doesn't feel bitter at all. ”
"You don't need to do anything special. Mom is afraid of dragging you down."
Su Qingyu chuckled, "What's the burden? I'm still waiting for my mother to finish the operation and sell stinky tofu to help me pay back the money. It will take twenty years to pay back."
527 looked at the scene of them chatting warmly, and suddenly felt a little sad.
It also knew that it was one of Jiang Chu's biggest obsessions that his mother was not left behind at that time, and that his mother's illness was not discovered and that transplanting a heart to her was one of Jiang Chu's biggest obsessions. But he didn't know that people's fates were already written in the Fengdu Book of Life and Death.
Even if he tried his best to transplant a heart for his mother, his mother would die on that day.
It wasn't sure if the host knew it, but maybe he did it anyway.
Looking at Jin Wanwan who was coaxed by her host and beaming with happiness, 527 felt that this was the meaning.
The rising repentance value is proof of this.
After agreeing with Jin Wanwan to go to the hospital tomorrow, Su Qingyu returned to the room.
At this time, Xi Qinghe was working with a laptop, and there was a camera next to the desk.
He came for a field trip, so he naturally needed recording tools.
As soon as Su Qingyu entered the door, Xi Qinghe raised his head and looked at him, "I still have some work to do, you go to sleep first."
"Yeah." Su Qingyu didn't say anything and went to bed directly.
Xi Qinghe was about to continue reading the literature when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him: "I didn't expect that I just slept in the senior's bed on the train, and the senior will sleep in mine soon."
My fingers slid on the touch pad of the laptop, and the document slid forward several pages.
527:【……】
Su Qingyu: "Good night, Senior Xi, go to bed early."
He himself fell asleep quickly, but the other person didn't get into working mode for a long time.
After a while, he pressed his forehead, closed the document, and opened a video.
527 immediately became energetic. Was he going to see the woman and the dog?
It raised its head and stared at the screen, but what appeared on the screen was Su Qingyu's face, followed by Jin Wanwan and Uncle Li.
He watched it slowly and silently, then watched it again, and then started editing the video, which lasted for more than an hour.
527: [……]
I don’t know what to say, but I just feel like Jiang Huiyin is a good person.
At three o'clock in the night, Xi Qinghe finally went to bed.
527 watched him stand beside the bed for a long time, as if he was not on the bed but on the knife mountain.
After a long time, he took his eyes away from the person on the bed, gently sat on the bed, and slowly lay down, occupying only a small corner of the bed, very gentlemanly.
Su Qingyu turned over and pressed her legs on top of him.
527:【……】
If it hadn't known that Su Qingyu was asleep, it would have thought that the host did it on purpose.
Then, Su Qingyu hugged Xi Qinghe.
527:【……】
Does the scum exist without consciousness?
Xi Qinghe might have been shocked by him as he lowered his head and stared blankly at Su Qingyu.
In the dim light, his skin was conspicuously white, and his long eyelashes were closed and fluttering with the rise and fall of his chest.
Xi Qinghe looked at it for a long time, stretched out his hand, and gently moved Su Qingyu to his pillow.
527 secretly praised him. Xi Qinghe, like Jiang Huiyin, is a true gentleman.
Not long after, Su Qingyu turned over and hugged Xi Qinghe.
【……】
Xi Qinghe was probably helpless. He raised his head and pressed his forehead, his Adam's apple sliding up and down.
After an unknown amount of time, he gently moved Su Qingyu away.
Su Qingyu turned over and hugged him again.
【……】
Xi Qinghe remained silent for a longer time and hugged him away again.
On the fifth time, Xi Qinghe must have been angry. No matter how good-tempered he was, he would be annoyed. After he put Su Qingyu on his side, he leaned over and pressed his wrist so that he could not turn over.
He stared closely at Su Qingyu's face, his eyes darkened with anger.
527 apologized to Xi Qinghe in his heart and covered the cow's head.
He pressed Su Qingyu like this and stared at him for a long time. He waited until Su Qingyu fell asleep in this position before slowly leaving.
It gets up early in summer, and it's already slightly bright at this time.
Su Qingyu didn't stand up again.
Xi Qinghe let out a big breath, and 527 could feel how difficult it was for him, and sweat was forming on his forehead.
Just when everyone was relieved and Xi Qinghe closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, Su Qingyu turned over and hugged him again.
"..."
【……】
As soon as Su Qingyu woke up, the voice of 527 exploded in his mind, [Host, do you know what you did last night! ! ! 】
Su Qingyu: "..."
The sound sounded like he was robbing it of its bull's head.
527: [Xi Qinghe didn’t sleep all night! 】
What's wrong? Now it has become Xi Qinghe's system again?
Su Qingyu had a good night's sleep and lazily asked, "What did I do?" 】
527 accused: [You have been crawling on Xi Qinghe all night! 】
Su Qingyu refused, "No way, I always sleep well." 】
He didn't lie. As the most watched black and red top actor, Su Qingyu had to pay attention to his image no matter what he did, including sleeping.
He had recorded a variety show, and the director of that variety show liked to do things like surprise guests while they were sleeping. His manager wanted him to sleep without damaging his image. He originally wanted to make some preparations, but she didn't expect that after three days of observation, Su Qingyu couldn't sleep. Picky.
According to her words, "You are so much more lovable when you are asleep than when you are awake, like an angel."
After saying this, Su Qingyu turned around and asked: [What was Xi Qinghe's reaction? 】
527 gloated: [He moved you away again and again, no matter how many times you hugged him. 】
Su Qingyu: [...? 】
