Although Aunt Xu asked him to come over for dinner in the evening, Song Jiamu felt extremely guilty because he slept with her daughter at her house all afternoon again. Before Aunt Xu and Uncle Yun returned home, he had a pair of small white socks in his pocket.
I ran home and didn't dare to go to Yun Shuqian's house for dinner alone.
After all, both parents were at home, so whether it was Song Jiamu or Yun Shuqian who went to the opposite house to have dinner in plain sight, they always felt a little flustered.
When there is only a family of three dining, the food is relatively ordinary. This is actually a sense of ritual in life. On ordinary days, we eat ordinary dishes. If we change our routine every day, no one can stand it.
Nowadays, the festive atmosphere has become less intense, largely because Chinese people have more dietary choices. They can basically eat meat at every meal, and they can eat whatever they want, unlike in the past where they had to wait until some festival to eat.
When Uncle Yun and Aunt Xu didn't come back, Song Jiamu and Yun Shuqian often cooked and ate secretly by themselves. They ate ordinary dishes, but the taste was different.
Now that Uncle Yun and Aunt Xu are back, he and Yun Shuqian have no chance to secretly cook and eat by themselves and eat at home on time every night.
Mom is still curious. In the past three days, she said she would eat at school every now and then and would not come back to eat. Now she eats at home every day. Could it be that the school cafeteria is not open at night?
"How is your cold? Are you feeling better?" Li Yuan asked at the dinner table.
"Much better, I still have a little cough and sore throat." Song Jiamu stood up to pack the second bowl of rice. He has a big appetite. He usually eats two and a half bowls of rice. If he is very hungry after exercising a lot, he will eat three bowls.
be able to eat.
Sure enough, he has grown up. When he was a child, he would eat an extra bowl of rice, and the elders would praise him for how great he was.
"Then I'll cook a rock sugar pear later, and you can bring it over for Qianqian to drink. It will clear away heat and relieve cough, and moisten the throat." Li Yuan thought for a while and said.
"...I'll cook, I'll cook!" Song Jiamu immediately expressed his position and observed his mother's reaction.
"Do you know?"
"It's not difficult to make sugar water. If you don't know how to cook, you can't cook it... I mean, mom, please rest. I can do this kind of work, just let me do it!"
"There are red dates and wolfberries in the refrigerator. How many of them should you put in when cooking."
"oh oh."
She didn't see anything from her mother's expression, and she didn't ask any questions. Sure enough, her act of taking the initiative to cook sweet water for Yun Shuqian was considered normal in the eyes of her parents?
Song Jiamu picked up the bowl and grilled the rice, thoughtfully.
After the meal, Song Jiamu took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes, and occasionally helped with small housework. Although his parents did not praise him as they did when they were young, it could be seen that they were still very happy.
After washing the dishes, Song Jiamu went to the kitchen to find a stew pot to make rock sugar pear. Li Yuan had just said that if she was not afraid of trouble, it would be best to steam the pear in a stew pot over high heat, so of course he chose the best one.
Song Jiamu took two snow pears and peeled them carefully. When peeling snow pears and apples, he was obsessed with peeling the skin very long and keeping it in continuous pieces. If he could peel off a large circle of skin completely,
That sense of accomplishment is so satisfying.
One failed, and the skin broke when he was about to finish peeling it. Fortunately, with the other one, he successfully preserved the skin of a whole pear, so he took out his mobile phone and twisted this long pear.
Pi took a photo of Yun Shuqian and sent it to show off.
Yun Shuqian replied to him, "Childish devil!"
Then a few minutes later, she also sent a photo. In the photo, she was twisting a long piece of apple peel to show off to him. She also said that apple peels are harder to peel than pear peels, so she is better than him.
Everyone has the opportunity to peel long pears or apples, but not everyone can find someone to share their joy with.
Song Jiamu took a small knife and cut the pear meat into small pieces, then spread it into the stew pot.
Then add water and rock sugar. He didn't know how much sugar to put in, so he ran out to ask his mother, and then added a few wolfberries and red dates.
Boil water in a pot, put the stew pot on the steam rack, cover it, and let it steam slowly.
After setting the time on the alarm clock on his mobile phone, he clumsily adjusted the firepower and made sure that no steps were missed before returning to the room to code.
In the afternoon, when he and Yun Shuqian just woke up, he received an unsolicited message from editor Toon.
This is the first time, and after being an editor for so long, it is the first time in my life that I have received an unsolicited message from the editor.
When he saw the red dot, he felt a little nervous, thinking that something should not have been written in the book, and the editor came to ask him.
Fortunately, Toona sent good news, telling him that he would go to Sanjiang next week.
Song Jiamu carefully asked the editor about the current reading status of the book. The collection now has 28,000, and it is still in the position of strong points. The book has passed 100,000 words. With the blessing of strong points and intelligent promotion
Next, the daily collection increased by more than 1,000, and it even reached 2,000 on the first day.
[The current reading is 3,000. After Sanjiang, if you work hard, you may be able to reach 4,000. Come on]
【Thank you Toon!】
[You can also put Sanjiang on the shelves if you want. I plan to wait until the 1st before letting you put it on the shelves. If you are not in a hurry, just wait for the push]
[Then let’s take number one, I’ll save some manuscripts!]
[Come on (Pandaren rush, rush)]
It turns out that editors can also send emojis. This discovery made Song Jiamu feel very novel. The editor who had always felt aloof suddenly became much closer to him.
Because he was still in Yun Shuqian's bed when he received the news, Song Jiamu naturally asked Yun Shuqian, after all, they were the same editor.
She also received news from Toona, telling her that she would also go to Sanjiang next week.
The editor of Toon probably would have smashed his head and never imagined that the messages she sent to the two authors were less than a minute apart. The two authors were in the same bed at the moment, right?
At nine o'clock, Song Jiamu finished writing and boiled the sugar water. He took the cup that Yun Shuqian usually gave him to drink soy milk, wrapped the stew pot with a towel, drained the sugar water into the cup and let it cool naturally.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I went to the glove box to find the cat walking leash I bought before, and put it on Niannian who was sleeping on the sofa.
"Meow?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to Liuyouwan'er."
Li Yuan also ate the snow pear and looked at him and asked, "Where are we going?"
"I go with Yun Shuqian to the neighborhood every year. It's not so hot at night, so I can take a walk and enjoy the breeze."
Song Jiamu said, holding the rock sugar snow pear in the cup, dragging the cat lying lazily on the floor, and went out, and rang the doorbell of the house opposite.
The person who opened the door was Xu Ying. When she saw Song Jiamu, her expression was very enthusiastic.
"Auntie, I cooked rock sugar snow pear and gave it to Yun Shuqian to drink to moisten her throat."
"Jiamu is interested, come in quickly, come in quickly."
When she heard that he cooked rock sugar snow pears for Yun Shuqian, Song Jiamu saw the satisfied look in Aunt Xu's eyes again, and the curve of the corners of her mouth could not be more obvious. For a moment, Song Jiamu doubted that he had just
Did you say the words "This is for you to eat, auntie"?
"Qianqian, Jiamu came to see you! I even cooked rock sugar snow pears for you!" Xu Ying shouted into the room.
The door to the girl's room opened. She made quick eye contact with Song Jiamu at first glance, and then walked out reservedly.
She herself didn't expect that Song Jiamu would boil rock sugar pear and bring it to her. After all, he didn't say anything. Just seeing the pear skin he peeled, she thought he was eating the pear himself.
"Come, Jiamu, have some tea."
Yun Lin was also there at the moment, sitting on the sofa and reading a stack of business cards, which were all taken back from the exhibition. When he saw Song Jiamu coming over, he was also very enthusiastic. He put down his crossed legs from the sofa and stood up.
I took a cup and made him tea.
"Thank you, uncle."
Song Jiamu quickly stretched out his hand to hold the tea cup.
Drinking tea or something like that is an adult matter. Uncle Yun took the initiative to pour him tea, which meant that he was treated as an adult. After all, he often came to her house when he was a child, and his uncles and aunts would usually just give him drinks from the refrigerator.
, drinking tea or something like that is something that only my uncle and his father would do.
It was probably Aunt Xu who told Uncle Yun what happened at noon, and he didn't know if it was because of a guilty conscience. In short, Song Jiamu felt that Uncle Yun looked at him differently tonight, with a more thoughtful and sophisticated look.
Uncle Yun and Aunt Xu have been back for a few days, and this is the first time tonight that Song Jiamu comes to her house alone to chat with these two elders. He usually has a very relaxed attitude, but at this moment, he can't help but become a little nervous.
He sat up straight and took a sip of tea.
Both his parents were present, and Song Jiamu was also present. Yun Shuqian felt even more uncomfortable, as if there were ants crawling all over his body, and just wanted to hide in the room quickly.
But her mother asked her to sit down and chat. Both her parents took single seats, so she had to sit on the couch, keeping a distance from Song Jiamu.
The originally soft sofa seemed to have sprouted needles. She moved her buttocks from time to time, holding the cup in both hands, sipping the rock sugar snow pear that Song Jiamu brought her, lowering her head, and her pretty face turned slightly red.
Her heartbeat became very fast, and she turned into an ostrich girl again, without saying a word.
"How is it? Did you add too much sugar?" Song Jiamu asked her in a low voice.
"No..." Yun Shuqian's voice was even softer, like a mosquito. She didn't turn to look at him when she spoke. She just felt that her parents' eyes were falling on her, and she was hiding in her hair.
The little ears are all red.
"Jiamu." Xu Ying called him softly.
It was obviously Song Jiamu who was calling, but Yun Shuqian, like Song Jiamu, invariably tensed up the moment Xu Ying's voice sounded.
"Come and try this rice cake. I brought some to the company. When your uncle Yun was talking about clients in the conference room, he drank tea with this rice cake. It tastes very good!"
"Hmm, it smells good!"
Song Jiamu twisted a piece of rice cake to eat, and also twisted a piece and handed it to Yun Shuqian beside him: "Do you want to eat it?"
The ostrich girl shook her head and continued to drink her rock sugar snow pear.
"Jiamu is now a freshman, what are your plans for the future?" Yunlin also stood up and added some tea to Song Jiamu's cup, asking in a natural tone.
If it had been before, Song Jiamu wouldn't have thought anything of it when he heard this question, but he happened to be caught by Aunt Xu doing something strange in the afternoon. Now Uncle Yun asked like this again, not only him, but Yun Shuqian couldn't help but feel...
My palms feel sweaty.
"Uncle means..."
"Do you have any intention to take the postgraduate entrance examination, or what do you want to do after graduation? I heard from Qianqian that you are writing a book recently, right?"
"Yes, just treat it as an after-school hobby. I can also earn some royalties and so on. Although it is not much, it is enough for my daily expenses. Then I also plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I will take the CET-4 first next month. By then,
I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination at Zhejiang University, and after graduation, I also want to work as an intern at my uncle’s company to gain some experience.”
Song Jiamu smiled and said, Yun Lin also nodded and said with a smile: "It's good to have a plan. Young people can never go wrong if they try more. Qianqian also said last time that she wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination to Zhejiang University, right?"
Yunlin turned his attention to the ostrich girl.
Yun Shuqian drank the rock sugar snow pear. In fact, the sugar water was no longer hot, and it was just a cup of lukewarm water. If she drank it faster, she would finish it in just a few sips, but there was nothing else on hand to cover up her embarrassment.
So I had to drink it slowly.
It seems that she is just drinking sugar water with her head down, but the ostrich girl has very clever ears. She can clearly hear all the conversations of the people present, and from time to time she will secretly raise her eyes to glance at her parents.
When she heard her father's question, she was stunned, and then nodded.
"That's just right. Jiamu also wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination to Zhejiang University. When the time comes, you two will work hard together and you will have a companion in the future. Otherwise, your mother and I won't worry if you run so far by yourself."
"I'm not a child..." Yun Shuqian muttered in a low voice, which could only be heard by Song Jiamu who was beside her.
"Don't worry, uncle, if we really want to pass the exam together, I will definitely take care of her."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, Jiamu, you are much more reassuring when you are here. So if you work harder, you can come home to study together as often as you can when you are free."
This time Song Jiamu learned to be clever. When he saw Yun Lin put down his tea cup, he took the initiative to get up and hold the teapot to pour tea for Yun Lin.
Don't underestimate these details, coaxing the elders and so on, the effect will be huge.
Except for the special question just now, the subsequent chat returned to the usual mode. After all, Song Jiamu grew up by himself, so there is no need to ask about his age. He doesn’t smoke, drink or play cards. He also knows everything about his family, so we chatted.
After that, we returned to our daily routine, such as chatting about small things like what we usually do, how we are doing at school, and so on.
Yunlin and Xu Ying were quite interested in Song Jiamu's ability to run six kilometers in the morning every day. They asked him where he ran from and where he ran. Then Song Jiamu told them what was along the road and heard some familiar intersections.
Or a store or something, Yun Lin and Xu Ying can recall some memories, and then tell him what this intersection was like before, what that store was like before, in short, it's all trivial.
But it is such trivial chats that can make a person's image become clearer in the mind.
An obvious sign of a mature man is that he knows how to solve problems by changing himself.
Naturally, there were not many topics between the juniors and the elders who were close to them. In the afternoon, Song Jiamu and Yun Shuqian were still discussing how to get the elders to take the initiative to match up. But when they sat together in front of the elders,
It was like a mouse meeting a cat immediately, unable to do any strange words or things...
As the chat topics gradually became fewer and fewer, the atmosphere in the living room occasionally fell into a strange silence, with only the gentle sound of the fan heard.
The ostrich girl carefully reached out and took out a package of nuts. The sound of tearing the package open was particularly loud. She tore half of it, put the nuts back, and continued to drink the rock sugar pear in the cup obediently.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Song Jiamu secretly. Song Jiamu had a tacit understanding and glanced at her too.
Her eyes were saying: [Go quickly! I'm going to die! Let's go quickly!]
Song Jiamu's eyes said: [Then you should finish drinking the sugar water quickly! How long will it take to drink it! I'm waiting for you!]
Well, the reason Yun Shuqian took his time to drink the sugar water was because he didn't want to finish it too quickly and sit awkwardly, but he didn't expect that Song Jiamu was waiting for her.
So I quickly drank the sugar water in the cup in two gulps and stood up in a hurry.
The eyes of her parents and Song Jiamu suddenly fell on her, and her sharp movements just now became soft and soft under these eyes.
"I, I'm going to wash the cup..."
She said, and then Song Jiamu retracted his legs. Yun Shuqian lowered her head, walked past his legs with a cup, and walked toward the kitchen. After passing the midpoint between the living room and the kitchen, her footsteps suddenly stopped.
She sped up and quickly walked into the kitchen as if running away. The cool water washed her sweaty little hands, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Her wet little hands covered her red face.
Wow...how did things become like this...
After Yun Shuqian left, Song Jiamu felt much more at ease. He finished the tea in his cup. Yun Lin was about to pour him tea, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he drank another cup smoothly.
Yun Lin wanted to pour him tea again, and Song Jiamu quickly said: "No, uncle, Yun Shuqian and I plan to take Nian Nian downstairs for a walk, so that she can recover from the cold faster..."
"Okay, Qianqian doesn't like to move. It doesn't mean that she is lazy. Qianqian can cook and do housework, but she just doesn't like to exercise. Jiamu, please take her for a walk. If she is willing to run, you can
Let's take her for a run. If she doesn't take good care of herself, we won't be able to worry about working outside."
"Definitely! When she gets better from the cold, I will take her running every day!"
"Then you can go and have fun on your own. I have to contact a few foreign clients later."
"Jet difference."
"Yeah, there's nothing you can do in this business. It's almost midnight here, and it's just morning over there."
Song Jiamu nodded, thoughtfully.
It’s too dangerous! It’s too dangerous! If he sneaks into Uncle Yun’s house in the middle of the night to sleep with his daughter, and Uncle Yun gets up in the middle of the night to contact the client, and if he is caught on the spot, he will die!!
Sure enough, when people do bad things, their thinking will be a hundred times more careful than usual.
If he was only given a pair of socks, Song Jiamu would definitely quit.
"Every year, I went for a walk."
"Meow."
Song Jiamu led the cat to the door.
The girl from the kitchen also came out. She walked close to the wall. When she was almost at the door, she stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the door with a small voice.
"Well, then I'll go for a walk with Song Jiamu... and take Nian Nian for a walk..."
"Be safe."
