Show one's ugliness

It is said to be an outing, but in fact it is to go to the West Mountain to pick some mugwort and go back to hang gourds.

In the early years, Qiao Aiqing made origami gourds by herself. Paper gourds of various colors were hung by windows and doorways with mugwort.

Now they have been replaced by the brightly colored plastic products sold in supermarkets.

The scented mugwort is pulled out of the greenery all over the mountains, and you can tell where the mugwort gathers by the aroma.

There are not many people who come to Xishan for an early outing.

Almost all the family travel.

The sun hadn't fully risen yet, and the thin mist in the air stained his face as he walked, making it difficult to feel sleepy.

Qi Heng looked at Ji Cen who was walking in front, and Xiao Mingjun and Qiao Aiqing who were walking behind him.

Are they a family now?

He has to ask himself this matter, the three of them have long defaulted to being a family.

He wasn't the only one who was awkward.

There is only such a mountain in Xibin. It is said to be a mountain, but its actual height is worrying.

There is a temple on a slope of 80 meters, surrounded by vast meadows and wide lakes.

Ji Cen came here with a few brothers from the dormitory during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and when he was about to leave school, everyone was quite confused.At that time, he was raising money to exchange for Wynn, and he wanted to make a wish in this temple that he could successfully redeem Wynn.

It's useless to go back for a month, Wynn really belongs to him.

Even if the debt is high, the future is uncertain.At least that wish came true.

If your wish comes true, you have to come and fulfill your wish.

This trip happened by the way.

When he arrived at the place, he walked in the front, thinking about going to pay his vows first and then wandering around.

In order to create a relaxing atmosphere for Xiao Mingjun and Qiao Aiqing, he turned around and asked Qi Heng to go to the temple with him.

Qi Heng followed up and said, "Do you still believe this?"

Ji Cen said as he walked, "I just want to make it auspicious."

After entering the temple, Ji Cen bought a stick of incense, and he threw the change into the merit box.

Qi Heng stood aside and waited. He looked at Ji Cen's worship statue, which was very familiar with the process.

Finding that Ji Cen was wearing the same colorful rope on his wrist, he raised his wrist and looked at his own.

After Ji Cen fulfilled his wish, he got up and asked Qi Heng: "Just standing there stupidly? You're here, why don't you make a wish?"

Qi Heng raised his eyebrows: "Is it really effective?"

"Hey, first of all you have to look forward to it," Ji Cen said, "Isn't there a saying that sincerity and sincerity make gold and stone come true."

Ji Cen's persuasion was very effective, and Qi Heng immediately went to buy a stick of incense.

He recalled how Ji Cen worshiped the Buddha statue and went through the process.

Before he left the Buddha statue, Ji Cen was no longer waiting there.After chasing for a while, I found that Ji Cen was waiting to collect his things in front of the line at the entrance of the side hall.

Qi Heng squeezed to Ji Cen's side and asked, "What do you want?"

"Ping An Fu."

"That's how you get Ping An Fu?" Qi Heng asked, "Don't you have to ask for it?"

Ji Cen: "It costs money to ask, but it doesn't cost money to receive."

Qi Heng: "..."

Does that fucking work?

Each person can only get one, Qi Heng couldn't help Ji Cen's foolishness, and followed behind to get one.

Qi Heng also convinced himself that he would be led astray by Ji Cen.

He disdains these messy things the most.

Just when he received the amulet and was about to leave with Ji Cen, he saw Zhang Qingchen in front of him, and the one who was walking beside Zhang Qingchen and chatting intimately was actually Ji Cen's girlfriend he saw at the gate of Wynn that day.

The two walked arm in arm through the small stalls in the temple courtyard, and behaved very intimately.

Qi Heng vaguely saw a little green on Ji Cen's head.

I don't know what he was thinking at that moment, and immediately stopped Ji Cen, who was looking down at his phone half a step away.

Ji Cen turned around: "What's wrong?"

According to the direction they were walking, as long as they continued to go forward, they would meet those two people, and if they turned a corner, they would be perfectly avoided.Qi Heng picked up the amulet and stood in line again: "Take another one."

"what?"

"It's all coming."

After standing in the team, Ji Cen asked Qi Heng: "Have you finished taking pictures of your house?"

After Qiao Aiqing said he was going to sell the house, Xiao Mingjun asked Ji Cen to help it out.Ji Cen had already opened the link, and was waiting for the photos of the property.

Qiao Aiqing asked Qi Heng to shoot, and Qi Heng did.He took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the photo album of his mobile phone and said, "I took a picture earlier, how can I send it to you?"

Ji Cen pressed the phone: "What's your Q number, I'll add you."

"Wait a minute," Qi Heng said, "I'll register one."

The account Qi Heng used before he was imprisoned has long been lost. When Wang Peng took him to the Internet cafe to play games, he asked him to register another account. He thought it was troublesome and never did it.

Ji Cen waited for a while but didn't wait for Qi Heng to make any movement, so he turned around and asked, "Isn't he alright?"

Qi Heng showed Ji Cen the newly created account: "What's the hurry?"

"If I don't ask you for a photo now, I don't know when it will be postponed," Ji Cen continued, "Don't you and your mother worry about selling the house earlier."

After looking through several photos taken by Qi Heng from different angles and different rooms, Ji Cen said: "Go back and take a new one. The light is too dark and it doesn't look spacious."

Qi Heng: "Then I'll send it to you after I take the picture."

After queuing up and chatting, they waited until everyone got a copy of the amulet.

After returning to the car, Ji Cen gave one to Xiao Mingjun.Qi Heng handed one to Qiao Aiqing.

It was rare for the four of them to walk together in peace and harmony.

The big bunch of mugwort that Xiao Mingjun picked was finally split into three parts.

One copy was brought back by Qiao Aiqing and Qi Heng, one was kept by him, and the other was stuck on the door of Wynn's store by Ji Cen.

It didn't take two days for the bunch of mugwort to wither.

When Qiu Ran was cleaning, he was dragged down and thrown into the trash can, leaving dust on his front.

He was cleaning in the bathroom, and when someone came to print, he had to let Ji Cen do it.

Seeing that it was the aunt of the fruit shop next door, Ji Cen said with a smile, "Auntie, what do you want to print?"

The aunt looked at the sample on the wall: "Xiao Ji, I want to get a house transfer posted on the door. Just look at it and make it simple, clear and eye-catching."

Ji Cen pointed to the next door: "It's on the door of the fruit shop?"

"Yes." The aunt nodded.

Ji Cen was very surprised. The fruit shop next door was very popular, so he wouldn't open it anyway.He asked: "What's the matter? Are you not going to open it?"

The aunt sighed: "There is no way. My newborn grandson was diagnosed with a rare disease. Our family wants to take him to a big place to have a look. The fruit shop can't take care of it, so we have to transfer it."

This is really sad news.

Ji Cen said with concern: "The child is still young, so it will definitely be fine if he is treated in time."

"It's best if it can be cured," the aunt said with her voice choked up, "otherwise how will our family live?"

The two elderly people and two adults in the family next door are all around the little one.As happy as the birth of the child made them, how sad the diagnosis of the child made them.

Accompanying children for treatment is a long and difficult process that requires a lot of time and expense. Transferring the store should be a deliberate choice for the family.

While adjusting the font on the computer, Ji Cen said, "When do you plan to leave?"

"The sooner the better," the aunt said, "the child's illness can't be delayed, and we'll leave the shop here after we're done."

Ji Cen nodded, and after the paper came out of the machine, he followed his aunt to the next door to ask about the store's transfer fee, and they chatted for a while before coming back.

Ji Cen called Xiao Mingjun when he went upstairs to Wynn.

Xiao Mingjun was at work, clamoring to move the vehicles that did not park in accordance with the regulations.

He didn't hear what Ji Cen said on the phone. After the car drove away, he asked loudly, "What did you say?"

The reason why Xiao Mingjun has changed is because he has become more and more aware of the responsibility of supporting his family.

Although Qi Heng has not nodded yet, his decision not to give up is just prolonging the established result.

Ji Cen is very optimistic about Xiao Mingjun's current living conditions, and always feels that the reason why his uncle was so idle before is that there is no pressure.

Now that Qi Heng can let him start self-reform, it is really a positive and good thing.

Although the job Xiao Mingjun is doing now is enough to support himself, he always feels that he is still far from the level he wants to give Qiao Aiqing a better life.

It happened that the fruit shop next door was about to be rented out, and Ji Cen got another first-hand news.He thought that if Xiao Mingjun could come over to sell fruit, it would be better than being in the parking lot.

After he told Xiao Mingjun about the matter, Xiao Mingjun quickly shook his head: "It's fucking nonsense, where can I get so much money to exchange for other people's fruit shops?"

Ji Cen: "Relax your head, what's the use of keeping your money, it's better to invest it. The location of this store is very good, as long as you don't worry about getting tired, you can make money without losing money."

Xiao Mingjun didn't know what to say after hearing this, obviously Ji Cen knew he still had money.

This is something that Xiao Mingjun is unwilling to admit to Ji Cen, and it is actually something that Ji Cen cannot hide.

As for why Xiao Mingjun didn't give him all the money when he was exchanging Wynn, Ji Cen could also understand.

After all, Xiao Mingjun also had to think about the rest of his life. The coffin was originally given to him, so it was normal for him to secretly keep a wife for himself.

Ji Cen turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, because he didn't want Xiao Mingjun to feel pressured.He gave Xiao Mingjun pocket money on a monthly basis to make it easier for Xiao Mingjun.

Now there is a very good opportunity to relatively stabilize Xiao Mingjun's life, so he will definitely persuade him.

Xiao Mingjun thought for a while and said, "I'd better discuss it with your Aunt Qiao."

"Then you have to discuss it as soon as possible," Ji Cen continued, "otherwise they will all cash it out later. The streets in Changqing District [-] are never worried about taking over."

When he came back from the outing that day, Qi Heng took several photos of the house and sent them to Ji Cen. Ji Cen picked and selected them and put them on the Internet.

The effect was quite fast, and someone came to see the house every three to five days.It happened that Qiao Aiqing was at home all day, so it was convenient for reception.

One day Qi Heng came back from practice and couldn't stand the length of his hair, so he went to the barber shop and asked Fang Ling to cut his hair.

Fang Ling laughed at him and said, "I said wait for your mother to cut it for you, it will be autumn."

Qi Heng lay on the shampoo chair: "Don't wait for her, let's cut it, it's too hot."

"If you come one day later, I won't be here." Fang Ling said while washing Qi Heng's hair.

"What are you doing here, Miss Ling?"

Fang Ling was surprised: "Eh? Didn't your mother tell you that the store is sold? Today is the last day."

Qi Heng frowned: "She didn't tell me."

After getting his hair cut, Qi Heng went home and asked Qiao Ai about cleaning up the hair shop and selling it.

Qiao Aiqing had just sent away two house inspectors. She tidied up the floor mats and said, "It has to be sold. Your Uncle Xiao needs money."

Qi Heng raised his throat in one breath: "What does he want to ask you for with money? Are you stupid? Do you want to help with all your money?"

"Because he bought this store with money."

Qi Heng was dumbfounded.This barber shop was obviously bought by Qiao Aiqing a few years ago, so why did Xiao Mingjun buy it again.

Qiao Aiqing continued: "Your stepmother had to sell the barber shop first in order to repay the little debt left by your father and pay the victim's compensation. Later, when he met your Uncle Xiao, he bought it back."

Qi Heng pulled away the general who was rubbing against his legs: "Is this why you are with him?"

"Of course not," Qiao Aiqing said clearly, "I choose to be with him because he will give everything to me."

Qi Heng sighed: "Why does he need money now?"

Qiao Aiqing: "The fruit shop next to Ji Cen's graphic shop is going to be exchanged, and Ji Cen wants you, Uncle Xiao, to exchange it. Your Uncle Xiao doesn't mean to ask me to sell the shop, but I don't want to delay his He bought this store for me, Ji Cen didn't know, I was afraid that there would be a gap between the two of them, so I wanted to deal with it quickly."

Qi Heng: "You really know how to think better of people. Since Xiao Mingjun told you, he just asked you to pay back the money."

"No," Qiao Aiqing insisted, "He just never hides things from me. He also said that he is not going to consider the fruit shop."

Qi Heng didn't plan to tell Qiao Aiqing any more.He found that his mother was in a relationship and it was unclear.I don't know what to discuss with my son first, but I have to think of outsiders in everything.

Qi Heng went back to his room and called Ji Cen.

No one answered several times.

He left a message for Ji Cen on the Internet and let Ji Cen see the message and reply.

Ji Cen was eating out with Zhong Zhenghao, and a few teachers who had a good relationship with them were leaving school soon, so they got together to have fun.

Halfway through the meal, Lintejia said he would come over too.

Recently, Lintega had another girlfriend, and said that he would bring her girlfriend to everyone to get to know.

Zhong Zhenghao despised him: "Are you serious again this time? When the hell were you not serious?"

When Ji Cen checked his phone, he saw Qi Heng's missed calls and messages. The room was too noisy, so he didn't choose to call, but replied "in".

Qi Heng's profile picture jumped up quickly: Is it convenient for you to answer the phone?

Ji Cen typed: It's not convenient, I have something to say here.

Qi Heng: Let’s wait until you finish your work.

Ji Cen turned off the phone.

After Zhong Zhenghao hung up Lin Tejia's phone, he said to Ji Cen: "Gatlin has played well this time. I heard that this woman is just divorced, and she is several years older than him."

Ji Cen: "Is it the rich woman who he said was working on his teeth?"

"should be."

About half an hour later, Lintega came with his girlfriend.

When Ji Cen came back from going to the toilet, he saw their background turning into the box.

He walked to the door with a smile on his face and wanted to tease Lin Tejia, but his facial expression froze when he saw Lin Tejia's girlfriend.

"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Han Xinyi." Lin Tejia said to everyone with a smile.

Several graduates present shouted "sister-in-law".Zhong Zhenghao also nodded with a smile: "Sit down quickly."

Seeing Ji Cenchu ​​at the door, Lin Tejia quickly waved: "Cenzi, come in!"

Ji Cen did enter the door, but he walked to his seat to pick up his things.He took a look at Han Xinyi, took his own things and left directly.

Everyone in the room was stunned, Zhong Zhenghao chased him out and said, "Cenzi, what are you doing?"

Ji Cen left without looking back: "Eat well, let's go back."

Lin Tejia looked at Han Xinyi beside him: "What's going on, do you know Ji Cen?"

Han Xinyi's eyes widened: "What did you say his name was?"

"Ji Cen."

Zhong Zhenghao stopped Ji Cen at the entrance of the restaurant: "What's the matter with you, you haven't finished eating, why are you leaving?"

Ji Cen: "I have something to do, you can eat first."

"I see that when you saw that woman, it was like seeing a ghost?" Zhong Zhenghao asked, "You didn't have an affair before, did you?"

"Don't fucking talk nonsense."

"What's the matter?"

Ji Cen looked at the street lights outside, touched the fine sweat on the tip of his nose: "Her name should be Ma Qiannan."

"Isn't her surname Han?"

"Her mother's surname is Han."

Zhong Zhenghao didn't understand even more: "You knew her a long time ago?"

Ji Cen walked down the steps: "I would rather not know her."

Zhong Zhenghao didn't follow anymore, he watched Ji Cen cross the road, turned around, and almost ran into Lin Tejia's girlfriend.

He also said that he didn't have a leg, the woman's eyes wished she could leave with Ji Cen.

Ji Cen dialed Qi Heng's phone and said, "What's the matter, let's talk."

Qi Heng heard that Ji Cen's mood was not right on the phone, so he asked, "In a bad mood?"

"What the hell is so much nonsense, what's the matter, tell me quickly."

"Let's talk about it if we don't meet."

Ji Cen: "Grass. Is there something wrong with you?"

"How do you talk?"

"You contacted me to say something was wrong, but you don't say it now. You're kidding me."

"Did you take gun pills?"

"roll roll roll."

A few seconds after Ji Cen hung up the phone, Qi Heng called again.

Distraught, he didn't plan to pick it up.

Qi Heng spoke on the Internet again.

"Let's meet and talk about my mother and your uncle. Do you come to Yangnan or I go to Changqing."

Ji Cen didn't reply to Qi Heng at all, but Qi Heng still came to find him.

After he took a taxi to the entrance of Yongli, he just caught up with Cui Xiaodong locking the door.

He asked, "Is Ji Cen not here?"

Cui Xiaodong is familiar with Qi Heng.He said: "Brother Ji came back, changed his clothes and left."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know, you call."

Qi Heng: "I didn't answer the call, I have something to ask him."

Cui Xiaodong took out his mobile phone and called Ji Cen very clearly.

Ji Cen answered after two rings, and Cui Xiaodong asked, "Brother Ji, where are you?"

Ji Cen: "Just go back when the time comes."

"No, you have a friend who came to the store to look for you."

Qi Heng thought Cui Xiaodong was too boring, he grabbed the phone and said, "I'll wait for you at the door."

After hearing Qi Heng's voice, Ji Cen said, "You didn't go to work?"

"Rest today."

"I'm at the Shiyuan Stadium, come here."

How caring Cui Xiaodong was, afraid that Qi Heng might not be able to find the stadium that Ji Cen often goes to.

When he returned to school, he led Qi Heng over by the way.

When Qi Heng saw Ji Cen, Ji Cen was playing basketball with several people.

After parting from Zhong Zhenghao and the others, Ji Cen was in an extremely unhappy mood. The problems left over for so many years, once he was in a bad mood, he wanted to keep exercising.

Ji Cen threw the handball to someone else and walked to the sidelines: "What happened to my uncle and your mother?"

Qi Heng sat on the chair: "I want to tell you about my mother selling her barber shop."

Ji Cen also sat down, and he lifted the hem of the T-shirt to fan the wind: "Why did you sell it?"

"Actually, she sold the barber shop before, and Xiao Mingjun bought it for her later. Now that you know it, don't worry, we will definitely return the money."

After hearing this, Ji Cen said with a half-smile, "I said where did all his money go?"

Qi Heng turned his head: "I heard from my mother that you plan to let Xiao Mingjun pay for the fruit shop?"

"My position is different from yours. Since I agreed to their business, I must be thinking about their future life," Ji Cen continued, "That fruit shop is very good, just next to Wynn. If Xiao Mingjun calms down Take good care of them, and you won't have to worry about the two of them for the rest of your life. You say you don't agree with them being together, then have you thought about what kind of life you want to give your mother in the future? Do you plan to stay with her for the rest of your life? "

What kind of life can he give Qiao Aiqing?They are almost homeless now.

These few words of Ji Cen made Qi Heng realize that the situation between him and Ji Cen is not a little bit different.

He has always opposed Xiao Mingjun and Qiao Aiqing's matter, or resisted.It seems that she has never really thought about Qiao Aiqing.

As for Ji Cen, whether he disagreed at the beginning or agreed now, they all centered on whether Xiao Mingjun could live a good life.

For a moment, persistence and compromise mingled in his head, he didn't want to say anything, and looked at the court: "Want to play for a while?"

"Let's play," Ji Cen got up and said, "I'll borrow a ball."
