"Dong dong dong..."

It's around eight o'clock in the morning.

There was a knock on the faded wooden door.

In the cramped bedroom, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, rubbed his face, exhaled, stood up and opened the door.

"elder brother."

Seeing the smiling young man at the door, Jiang Chen looked surprised.

"You just got up? I brought breakfast, let's eat together."

The young man came in carrying breakfast.

"How did you know I was back?"

Jiang Chen asked with a smile and closed the door.

"My mother said, brother, why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming back? We could pick you up so we could pick you up. If Aunt Pan hadn't chatted with my mother last night, we wouldn't have known you were back."

The young man seemed to be very familiar with the Jiang family. He sat on the wooden sofa and opened the breakfast on the coffee table.

Two bowls of beef noodles.

There are also xiaolongbao and kelp soup.

"Are your parents okay?"

Jiang Chen came over.

"It's great. My mother's weight is almost catching up with mine now."

A young man who was about the same height as Jiang Chen greeted him: "Brother, eat it while it's hot. I bought it from that store. You will definitely not be able to taste this kind of taste in Donghai."

"I'm going to brush my teeth first."

After washing up, Jiang Chen came back and sat down with the young man to eat noodles.

"How do you feel about college life? Are you still used to it?"

"It's much more comfortable than high school. Looking back, my senior year in high school was simply purgatory."

The young man held the steamed dumplings in his hands, looking like he couldn't bear to look back.

"It's just that no one is in charge of the university. Don't be lax. A gentleman should be cautious and don't indulge yourself just because there is no supervision. Although there is no pressure from the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, if you fail the course, you will not be able to graduate in the end."

"Brother, I know that if I don't get my diploma, my mother won't kill me?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"The burning noodles in this store are still delicious. When I was in Seoul, what I missed the most was the taste of this store. The breakfast at our school, alas, is simply hard to describe."

A young man studying in Seoul, the provincial capital, talked about it.

He studied at Seoul University of Geosciences. Although it is not as good as China Normal University, it is still a good one.

"Anyway, you're close. It's only an hour and a half away by train. You can come back on weekends."

"Come on, brother, I finally escaped from the control of my parents. If my mother hadn't allowed me to run too far, I wouldn't have gone to school in Seoul. In fact, I also wanted to go to Donghai. At that time, we two brothers

Then we can be together.”

"My parents are here, so I don't have to travel far. Seoul is also the city with the most universities in the country, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"Brother, why are you talking more and more like my former high school teacher?"

Jiang Chen smiled and lowered his head to eat noodles.

This burning noodle shop is located near his elementary school, only about ten minutes' walk. Although it is not famous, it has been open for nearly 20 years and is considered a time-honored restaurant. The boss and his wife are from Sichuan. When the boss cooks noodles

, always likes to sing, and the proprietress is very lucky, and she weighs about 180.

"Brother, did you know that the owner of this noodle shop ran away for a while before?"

Jiang Chen was confused, "What do you mean?"

"He ran away with the woman outside. During that time, the proprietress was the only one guarding the store. Later, for some reason, he came back."

"Who did you listen to?"

"When I was buying noodles just now, I heard the people next to me talking."

Jiang Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

This is how a small town is, these people have been coming and going for decades, so any gossip spreads quickly.

"Dong dong dong..."

While the two were eating and chatting, someone knocked on the door again.

Jiang Chen stood up and walked over to open the door.

"Give."

It's Fang Qing.

He was carrying a bunch of breakfast in his hand. He was probably going out to buy it for his parents, and he brought one to Jiang Chen along the way.

"I'm eating."

As he said that, Jiang Chen turned sideways.

"Sister Fang Qing."

The young man in the room shouted enthusiastically.

"Xiaoyu?"

Fang Qing suddenly understood, then smiled at the young man, then took back the bowl of noodles, "Okay, you can eat."

She carried breakfast and turned back to the house.

Jiang Chen closed the door.

"Brother, Sister Fang Qing is indeed the beauty of your courtyard. She is getting more and more beautiful. If this were placed in our school, I don't know how many people would chase her."

"Have you forgotten that she always loved to take off your pants when she was little?"

Jiang Chen's words immediately made his cousin feel embarrassed and speechless.

As a child, he likes to be lively. At that time, when he was still young, he always liked to run behind Jiang Chen and Fang Qing. In addition, Jiang Chen and Fang Qing were not very old at that time.

Fang Qing always disliked this little follower, so she always teased him, such as taking off his pants, making him cry, but then she would laugh out loud.

So for a period of time, this sister was the devil in Hong Xiaoyu's eyes.

"Brother, you were not sensible at that time. Now, Sister Fang Qing is a top student at the University of Political Science and Law. People outside say that there is a golden phoenix in your compound."

China University of Political Science and Law.

Six simple words can make people awe-inspiring.

It can be said that there are almost no ordinary people who can be admitted to this university, but those who graduate from it will become the elite of society in the future, which is not comparable to Jiang Chen's Donghai University or Hong Xiaoyu's Seoul University of Geosciences.

When he thought about Fang Qing becoming a lawyer or judge in the future, or even going one step further, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh when he thought about that appearance.

Who would have thought that such a naughty girl would engage in such a sacred and solemn industry?

"In the future, when you, Sister Fang Qing, become rich, you can brag about the things she did to you when you were a child."

Jiang Chen smiled and took another bite of noodles.

"Brother, you don't have any ideas?"

Hong Xiaoyu asked meaningfully.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chen was confused.

"Brother, you and Sister Fang Qing are childhood sweethearts, and you two played house a lot when you were young..."

Hong Xiaoyu gave a meaningful look, "You know."

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing.

"You never played house with anyone when you were a child? You also said that she is now Jin Fenghuang, a top student at the University of Political Science and Law. Who are the people in the University of Political Science and Law? Do you think you, Sister Fang Qing, will like me?

"

"Brother, don't belittle yourself. I think Sister Fang Qing is not the kind of person you say. Otherwise, she would bring you breakfast? I think Sister Fang Qing is still the same Sister Fang Qing as before. She has not changed."

Hong Xiaoyu said seriously.

"Besides, Sister Fang Qing's future is limitless after graduation. Brother, if you can be with Sister Fang Qing, the pressure will be much less."

Jiang Chen looked at his cousin.

Although I am only a freshman, I have indeed grown up a bit, and my perspective on thinking about problems has gradually become more mature.

"Why, do you think your brother and I are like freeloaders?"

He seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Hong Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed.

"Brother, I didn't mean that. I just think that Sister Fang Qing is indeed a good girl, and you and I grew up together. When I was a child, I was used to calling her sister-in-law."

Jiang Chen laughed, overjoyed.

"If I were really with her, wouldn't you be afraid that your childhood shadow would turn into an adult shadow?"

"Brother, for your happiness, making a little sacrifice as a younger brother is nothing."

Hong Xiaoyu pretended to be generous and said that if I don’t go to hell, who else will?

"Okay, how old are you? I've started to order Yuanyangpu for your brother. Hurry up and eat, and go back after eating before I come back. There are still a lot of places in the house that need to be cleaned up, and I don't have time to entertain you."

"Brother, I can help."

"No need."

After breakfast, Jiang Chen drove his cousin away. His aunt's house was outside the city, and it took about twenty minutes by bus.

Changing light bulbs, checking the water heater, washing bed sheets and clothes, Jiang Chen was busy all morning.

"Xiaoyu came to see you specially, and you just drove him away? Is there anyone who treats me like an elder brother like you?"

In the living room, Fang Qing folded her hands on her chest and leaned against the wall, watching Jiang Chen busy at work and not mentioning anything about helping.

"Classmate Fang Qing, this is my family's business. Are you being too lenient?"

"Xiaoyu is also my younger brother. I have watched him grow up. He at least calls me sister. Why can't I care?"

Fang Qing is confident and confident.

Jiang Chen glanced at her.

"You'd better not lean against the wall. My house is different from yours. Be careful of dust."

Fang Qing stood up straight, turned around and saw that her shoulders were covered in white ash. She patted them as if nothing had happened.

"How about I ask my dad to find someone to help you mend the wall and paint it white again."

"No, I can just find someone myself."

"Hey, can you please stop being so stubborn? It's just a matter of effort."

That's right.

It's really a piece of cake.

But if it happens too often, it won't happen.

"Classmate Fang Qing, are you very free?"

"Isn't it? It's winter vacation, and my house doesn't need to be cleaned, so I'm not very free."

Jiang Chen was speechless.

"When are you going to your aunt's house?"

Fang Qing asked.

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"Still angry with your aunt and the others?"

Fang Qing asked tentatively.

Having lived door to door for decades, she had a clear view of the Jiang family's affairs. When Jiang Chen's parents were sick, if those relatives were willing to do their best, Jiang Chen might not have been left alone so early.

However, it is difficult for an upright official to interrupt household affairs.

Outsiders cannot tell right or wrong about this kind of thing.

But Hong Xiaoyu came over this morning, seemingly just to deliver breakfast, but in fact, it undoubtedly represented an attitude.

"without."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Lie, if you weren't angry, why didn't you notify them when you came back? My mother had to go and tell them."

"I just don't want to trouble them."

Jiang Chen chuckled and said: "For a period of time, I did blame them, but then I figured it out. People can't be so selfish and only think about themselves. Even if they are willing to sell the iron, it may only be delayed for a period of time. One is

If the family is broken up and everyone is destroyed, the latter is better, and there is no reason for the misfortune of one family to affect multiple families."

Fang Qing was silent.

"Tell Uncle Fang and the others, and I will treat them to dinner tomorrow afternoon, along with my aunt and the others."

Jiang Chen said softly.

Fang Qing looked at him and nodded.
