Wind Shakes the Barley

Chang Qi was very happy to receive Jiang Xu's things, and was even more pleasantly surprised when he saw the plum blossoms on it, but he guessed that Jiang Xu should have printed them on the template he bought from, otherwise Jiang Xu's aesthetic talent alone would not be enough to draw them. to this effect.

He was very relieved to know that Jiang Xu added these small highlights when selling pastries.

The next week, he received a pastry with a boat printed on it. Although it is rare to see a boat painted on a pastry, this seems to be more bright and very good.It's just that red bean cakes are the only ones brought to him every time, which makes him a little dumbfounded. Jiang Xu thinks how much he loves red bean cakes!

But Chang Qi didn't tell Jiang Xu about this, anyway, he only ate it once a week, even though there was only red bean stuffing, he didn't get tired of it.

But for the boat on the pastry, he called Jiang Xu to exaggerate the idea. Children must be encouraged to have imagination.

Chang Qi originally planned to take a weekend to visit, but just happened to meet a patient who needed acupuncture every day, and he couldn't get away, so he never went there.

Another week, just in time for Jiang Hong's monthly vacation.

Jiang Hong's high school is a little far away from Jiang Xu's rented house, but Jiang Xu will take some time every week to visit her with food, so Jiang Hong is very familiar with her brother's food here, and likes it very much, also likes it And her classmates, especially those in a dormitory, every time she got these food, she would give them more than half of it, which made her feel very distressed.

But her brother also told her that the portion given to her originally included asking her to share food with her classmates, and let her share it anyway, and call him if she wanted to eat.

But she couldn't bear to share the hard work of her brother with others, so she didn't call specifically to ask for food. She only came to her brother to have a good meal during the half-day holiday every week.

This time, there are two and a half days of monthly leave. Mother Jiang came over early in the morning, waiting for her daughter to go home with her eldest son after the holiday.

"Be careful on your way." Jiang Xu sent the two of them out, saying as they walked, "Mom, don't forget that box."

"Understood, every time you prepare, how can I forget." Jiang's mother recently felt that her eldest son seemed to be nagging more than her.

When Jiang Hong heard that the box was for Dr. Chang, she couldn't help looking at it as soon as she got in the car. Jiang's mother was afraid of breaking it, so she didn't let her open it until she got home, and checked it by the way.But now the inspection is just to see, she already knows that the pastries her son brought to Dr. Chang are specially made, with exquisite patterns, unlike the ones for the family, they just have skin and fillings.

Just because she knew that even if it was broken, there was no way to replace it, so she would be very careful to protect the box on the road.

"Hey, it's so beautiful. The dice look so similar." Jiang Hong first saw that the pattern on the red bean cake was made of dice, and it was so novel. "My brother is quite creative."

She stared at these dice cakes for a long time, and then went to eat the one at home, and suddenly felt that the one she ate seemed to be inferior to the ones in the box, although she had never tasted those dice cakes.

Jiang's mother put the box aside first, and went to the yard to look at the aluminum pot on the stove.

The family recently received sweet potatoes, and she sent a bag to her son this time, knowing that if her son was at home, she would definitely send boiled sweet potatoes to Dr. Chang, so she asked Dad Jiang to cook a pot when she went out in the morning.

She picked a few good-looking ones from the pot and put them in bags, ready to send them over with the pastries.

But just as she was about to go out, someone came home to deliver a letter saying that Aunt Chunlan had passed away.

Aunt Chunlan's husband is somewhat related to the Jiang family. Although they are a little far away, they all have the surname Jiang, and their families are not far from each other, so they occasionally walk around.Aunt Chunlan is 79 years old. She has had ups and downs since she was ill last year. Everyone is prepared. As soon as the news of her death comes, someone will go to her house. Dad Jiang is not in good health. It's too messy to go, so she has to represent Father Jiang.

She went into the house and changed into dark clothes, and walked into Jianghong's house with sweet potatoes and pastries.

She is not free now, so Jiang Hong had to let Dr. Chang deliver things.

"Mingyue Tower sits and leans alone, drinking wine into sorrow, turning into tears of lovesickness."

"Which family is Bian Zhouzi tonight? Where is Acacia Mingyue Building?"

"Lovesick plum blossoms overnight, suddenly came to the window and suspected that it was the king."

"Linglong Dice An Hongdou, you will know who you are when you are deeply in love."

Jiang Ma's footsteps paused in front of the door, and she suddenly felt flustered.

With a "boom", she pushed open the door vigorously, and shouted at her daughter: "You are so young, what kind of nonsense are you reading?!"

The door hit the wall with a loud noise, Jiang Hong trembled with fright, and almost dropped the notebook in her hand to the ground.After hearing her mother's words, she was speechless: "Mom, what are you doing? I'm reciting poems."

"Don't memorize these!" Jiang Ma was a little anxious, and pulled out the notebook in Jiang Hong's hand, "I tell you, you are now in a critical period of study, you are not allowed to think about love, you hear me!"

"Mom, what are you talking about? This is a famous sentence about lovesickness that our teacher summed up and asked us to memorize." Jiang Hong blushed at her mother's words, took back her notebook and quickly flipped forward, "Look, There are also serious and famous sentences about homesickness, worrying about the country, and giving away friends, and these are all to be tested."

Jiang Hong sat back unhappily: "I only care about studying now, so I don't have time to think about that."

Jiang Ma was stunned for a moment, watching her daughter's vision gradually become blurred, and something flashed before her eyes——

The eldest son's sudden livelyness in the past six months, his cheerful figure when he went to the hospital, his tireless instructions when giving her cakes, and these special patterns on the cakes...

She suddenly felt chills all over her body, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She put her hands on the desk, and slowly raised her head to look out the window. To hit her heart.

She closed her eyes, opened them again after a while, her eyes fell back on the notebook, and finally exhaled slowly: "It's fine if you don't have one."

When Jiang Hong saw her mother's face suddenly turned pale, she thought that she was frightened by her "puppy love". , I want to learn from my brother, and work hard to make money for you to spend in the future."

She was a little angry at first being misunderstood by her mother as puppy love, but thinking about the few poems she was thinking when her mother entered the door, she felt that being misunderstood by her mother seemed reasonable, so she soon became angry.

She glanced at the things in her mother's hand, and raised her hand to take them: "Just now I heard someone calling you at home, if you have something to do, go there, I'll take these things to Doctor Chang for my brother."

The thing was pulled, which brought back Mama Jiang's thoughts. She stopped her daughter's hand, and her voice was a little ethereal: "No need, you can read a book, I will send it over by myself."

Jiang Hong wanted to say something more, but saw her mother turned around and walked out the door after finishing speaking, her back was staggering, she subconsciously stepped forward, but the closed door blocked her view.

Jiang Hong stood behind the door for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out, so she simply went back and continued to memorize her book.But this time she didn't dare to read it out again, she just recited it silently in her heart.

Jiang Ma went back to the back room and put the things back on the cabinet. Jiang Dad saw her staring at the box in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Isn't it going to be sent to Dr. Chang?"

"I'll send it later." Jiang Ma shook her head and touched the box, "Auntie Chunlan is gone, I'll go there for a while and come back."

"Well, just don't forget it." After Jiang's father finished speaking, he saw his wife still dazed in front of the cabinet with a lost soul, thinking that she was sad because of Aunt Chunlan's disappearance, and said in relief, "Everyone has At this time, don't take it too seriously, be careful of hurting your body."

In the evening, Jiang's mother came back to cook. After the meal, Jiang's father saw that the things on the cabinet were still there, and couldn't help but remind him: "Why don't you take the things to Dr. Chang first, so that my son won't worry about it."

Jiang Ma has been stuck in her heart for a long time, and she was feeling uncomfortable when she was suddenly aroused by his last words, and she turned her head and glared angrily: "What's the hurry?! Can I not give it to him?"

"You said you..." Jiang's father was startled by his wife's sudden temper, and his voice suddenly weakened, "I just want to remind you, what are you in a hurry for, forget it, you can give it whenever you want Give it when."

At night, Dad Jiang watched his wife lying beside him turn over for the seventh time, sighed silently, raised his hand and rubbed on his wife's shoulder: "Don't hold back what's going on in your heart, everyone in this family has it." The children are not yours alone."

After he finished speaking with a smile, he asked tentatively, "Is it Xiaoxu what happened?"

Jiang Ma paused for a while, then turned over and looked at her husband, hesitating to speak.

Father Jiang's hairs stood on end when she saw him, thinking that something had really happened to his eldest son: "What's wrong with Xiao Xu? Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Ma sighed, lowered her eyes and said: "It's nothing, just went out with him today, and found that there were a lot of girls who went shopping at his place, but Xiaoxu always kept a sullen face towards them, as if he only had eyes for her." Qian, do you think he can marry a wife in the future?"

"Hey, I thought what's wrong." Father Jiang exhaled, stretched out the quilt and got ready to sleep, "You worried too early, he hasn't awakened yet!"

Seeing that her husband didn't seem worried at all, Jiang's mother almost told her son that she might have a crush on Dr. Chang.But thinking of her husband's poor health, Dr. Chang also told her to try to keep him from being stimulated as much as possible, so she could only swallow back what she wanted to say.

Doctor Chang didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for their family to meet him.

In the darkness, Jiang Ma sighed deeply, her son is not enlightened, he is playing with red beans and dice, and he is full of thoughts.
