Four Seasons Three Meals

The next day, Cong Shan and Jiang Huai went to Cong's house to see his grandfather.

The two met Mr. Cong, Cong Shan was invited out by his servants, and Jiang Huai was left alone to copy books.

He sits with his back very straight, and his posture of holding the pen and raising his wrist is very correct, delicate and gentle, and there is no sound when he writes.

The time was stretched out, and the old man felt calm.

After Jiang Huai finished copying a page, the old man asked him to bring it over and put on reading glasses to read it carefully.

Jiang Huai quietly thumped his limp waist, and then rubbed his sore and swollen wrists.

The old man looked carefully, his handwriting had no style, but was elegant and correct.

He was very satisfied and asked Jiang Huai to serve him tea.

Jiang Huai slipped out as if he had been pardoned.

There are servants in the kitchen who have prepared teapots and teacups and placed them on rosewood plates.Jiang Huai carried it upstairs and walked to the door of the study. He heard someone talking inside. It was Mr. Cong who was reprimanding Cong Yun.

Mr. Cong said: "I can't restrain you now, can I? You are making such a fuss, how much do you still think about me as a grandfather?"

Cong Yun said in a shrill voice: "It's not me! He cheated! He even stole someone under my nose!"

Mr. Cong said: "Is there anything that can't be resolved in private? It's like this in front of the media! You're from my Cong family, so you're just so brave?"

Cong Yun opened his mouth, unable to refute, lowered his head and began to cry.

Mr. Cong looked at her for a long while, sighed, and said, "I know you feel wronged. You go to live with your parents for a while, relax, and come back when you have recovered your temper."

This is driving her away in disguise.

Cong Yun couldn't stop crying, Mr. Cong was upset by her crying and asked her to go out.

She opened the door sobbing, but before Jiang Huai could turn around and leave, the two happened to meet each other.

He looked into Cong Yun's red eyes, feeling a little unbearable, and asked her in a low voice, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

Cong Yun looked at his low-browed and pleasing appearance, very well-behaved, but felt that he was scheming and wanted to make Mr. Cong happy.

She turned her head with a "hum", stepped on her high-heeled shoes and went downstairs.

In the second week, Cong Shan was suddenly sent on a business trip by Mr. Cong, and he had to go out for half a month.

Cong Shan has always been a hands-off shopkeeper in the group, and Mr. Cong has not been in charge for many years.Jiang Huai and Cong Shan were surprised to be sent to work suddenly.

After thinking about it, Cong Yue could only fan the flames behind their backs.

They are all smart people with a tacit understanding, and they accepted it without making a fuss.

On Monday morning, Cong Shan got up early to catch the plane, Jiang Huai lay on the bed and watched him change his clothes.

Cong Shan told him that the weather forecast showed that it would be rainy all week, so he should remember to bring an umbrella when he went out.

Jiang Huai said: "I'm too stupid to remember. I forgot my umbrella. Will you come pick me up?"

Cong Shan stretched out his hand and made a three: "How much is this?"

Jiang Huai opened his eyes and said nonsense, "This is four."

Cong Shan smiled, knowing that he was acting like a baby.

He lowered his head, kissed Jiang Huai's forehead, and said, "Huaibao, be good, don't be naughty, wait at home for me to come back."

Embarrassed, Jiang Huai retracted his head into the quilt, turned over, and wrapped himself into a cocoon.

Cong Shan asked again: "Huaibao, have you seen my wallet?"

Jiang Huai said in a muffled voice, "I didn't see it."

Cong Shan went to pull his quilt: "I really didn't see it?"

Jiang Huai said, "Don't bother me, I want to sleep."

Cong Shan reached under his creaking nest, dragged him out and hugged him, and easily found the wallet and ID card hidden under the pillow.

Cong Shan said: "Huaibao, you are still young, you have done some bad things, and it's all written on your face."

Jiang Huai stopped talking.

Cong Shan kissed his cheek, squeezed his palm again, and went out.

Jiang Huai got up listlessly and went to wash up.

This week was safe and sound, Cong Shan was very busy, Jiang Huai went to play with Shang Chen when he was bored.

On weekends, he went to Cong's house alone to visit Mr. Cong.

Qi Xinyou was not around, Mr. Cong asked him to read the newspaper.

Jiang Huai sat down and read all morning.

Mr. Cong looked at him with a dazed expression.

It is rare to see such a delicate and innocent face in this house.

Unlike before, when the children were all there, Cong Yun and Cong Yue were fighting upstairs and downstairs. Cong Shan, like Jiang Huai now, was practicing calligraphy and reading newspapers in the study, and the house was not deserted at all.

At noon, Jiang Huai had lunch with Mr. Cong.The old man went upstairs to take a nap, and he wandered around the kitchen.

The nanny was stewing bird's nest in the kitchen, saw Jiang Huai, and greeted him: "Mr. Jiang."

"What are you doing?"

"Master's bird's nest," the nanny handed him the tweezers, "would you like to try it?"

Jiang Huai said yes, take it over.The nanny stood aside and directed softly.

Bai Yanzhan's hair has been soaked in pure water, Jiang Huai lowered his head, picking out the fluff carefully.This was a meticulous job, and when he raised his head, he felt a sore neck and weak wrists.

He put the tweezers on the chopping board, tore the bird's nest into thin strips along the lines, laid them out in the stewing pot, poured pure water, and added a small handful of rock sugar.

The bird's nest should be simmered slowly, and cooked slowly several times. Open the lid and stir gently with a small spoon. The bird's nest is thick and crystal clear like ice, and you can smell a fresh fragrance.

Jiang Huai looked out the window, it was dark, and he made a cup of bird's nest all afternoon.

The old man had already got up, sitting on the head of the bed, looking sleepy.

The nanny served him to drink bird's nest, while Jiang Huai stood quietly aside.

The old man smacked his lips and said, "This bird's nest is stewed well."

The nanny smiled: "That's right, Mr. Jiang is ingenious and neat, and I can't help you much."

The old man gave Jiang Huai a strange look, but remained silent.

After eating a bowl of bird's nest, the old man felt better. Jiang Huai subconsciously reached out to take the empty bowl, and was patted on the back of his hand without itching.

The old man said: "I've been hanging around in front of me for a whole day, and it's annoying to look at you. Go back quickly."

Jiang Huai froze in place, a little at a loss.

The nanny said softly behind him: "The master is sorry that Mr. Jiang has been busy all afternoon, so he asked you to go back and rest."

Jiang Huai felt relieved, said goodbye and left, turned and left the bedroom.

He walked downstairs and ran into Cong Yun who was dragging a suitcase, both of them were taken aback.

When Cong Yun saw Jiang Huai, he was polite for the first time and said, "I'm going to Jiangcheng by plane later, would lawyer Jiang accompany me to smoke a cigarette?"

Jiang Huai felt strange and did not refuse her.

When they went to the balcony, the servant automatically withdrew and closed the door for them.

Cong Yun lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and smoked slowly.

After a while, she asked Jiang Huai: "Lawyer Jiang, do you want to guess why my boyfriend lied to me for so long, but just after I divorced, he revealed the truth, and there happened to be so many reporters around, who took pictures of this scene?" .”

Jiang Huai thought for a while, then pointed to himself: "Me?"

Cong Yun said, "It's you, but it's not you either."

Jiang Huai didn't understand what she meant.

Cong Yun looked at him and sneered: "Lawyer Jiang doesn't know yet, Cong Yue hired someone to investigate you secretly."

Jiang Huai suddenly realized that when Cong Yue investigated himself, he followed the clues to find Cong Yun.

Cong Yun said: "I never thought it was him. We grew up together, I was close to my elder brother, and I never hated him. I occasionally make trouble in front of my grandpa, but I also hope that he will not kill my elder brother."

Jiang Huai remained silent.

"His methods are very powerful. After getting me away, he sent his eldest brother on a business trip. He was afraid that someone would block his way of making money, but he still couldn't find any mistakes."

Cong Yun flicked the cigarette ash and smiled mockingly.

"This time he dealt with me, next time he will deal with big brother, you can do it yourself."

After Cong Yun complained and smoked a cigarette, he clapped his hands, Shi Shiran turned and went downstairs.

In the evening, Jiang Huai lay on the bed after washing and talked with Cong Shan on the phone.

Cong Shan asked him, "Is Huai Bao tired after staying with grandpa all day?"

Jiang Huai said, "I'm not tired. Although Grandpa has a bit of a bad temper, he has a soft heart."

Cong Shan said: "Then I thank Huai Bao for taking care of grandpa for me."

Jiang Huai tilted his head and asked him, "How are you going to thank me?"

Cong Shan smiled and said, "I have nothing to repay, but I promise with my body."

Jiang Huai grinned, playing hooligans on the phone: "Then wash up obediently when you come back, and wait for me on the bed."

At the end, I added a strange sentence: "Shan... Bao."

Cong Shan laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, and Jiang Huai's cheeks became hot from his laughter.

Cong Shan laughed enough before saying, "I'll be back next Saturday."

Jiang Huai said, "Then I'm going to pick you up."

Cong Shan said, "No need, the plane may be delayed."

Jiang Huai let out a "huh" and said with some melancholy: "It would be great if tomorrow is Saturday."

Cong Shan said, "I bought you a present."

Jiang Huai asked: "What gift?"

Cong Shan said: "Durian crisps, almond cakes, dried lychees...and a few new picture books."

Jiang Huai asked: "What do you buy picture books for?"

Cong Shan said, "I'll tell you a bedtime story."

Jiang Huai said: "I can't sleep now, can you tell me?"

Cong Shan said, "I won't tell."

Jiang Huai was a little angry.

His tone was a little blunt: "Why?"

Cong Shan smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Huai was a little disappointed: "You don't miss me at all."

Cong Shan said, "How could it be?"

Jiang Huai said, "You are!"

Cong Shan was amused by his childish yelling.

After a while, Jiang Huai heard Cong Shan speak.

"It's not that I don't study books, it's not that I don't have talent and thinking, and I can't buy heavenly paper around the Qingjiang River."

Jiang Huai didn't react for a while.

Cong Shan waited for him quietly on the other end of the phone.

After a while, the tips of Jiang Huai's ears turned red, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, and got into the bed, revealing a pair of eyes.

"You, you said that earlier, it's fine if you don't."

Cong Shan laughed softly: "Huaibao, are you not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry!"

"Are you saying you are a child?"

"Then you are an idiot!"

Cong Shan laughed, bickering over their childishness.

"But only fools fall for you."

The words of love were sweet, Jiang Huai closed his mouth and softened a little.

Cong Shan said: "Huaibao, it's too late, can you sleep well?"

Jiang Huai was a little reluctant, put away all the edges and corners, and promised to be obedient and docile.

Cong Shan felt soft in his heart, and said, "Sleep well, I'll buy a plane ticket for tomorrow."

Jiang Huai became rational instead: "Then what about the work?"

"that's not important."

"Then what do you eat raw orange jade?"

"Sell it."

"Then what should I do?"

"I'll shrink you down, hide it on my body, and take it with me wherever I go."

Jiang Huai laughed softly.

It turned out that they were really a pair of fools.

They chatted quietly for a while, hung up the phone, and Jiang Huai fell asleep peacefully.
