Tomorrow can be expected

The author has something to say: today's second update

On the fourth day after her mother's death, Jane Ting, who had finished all the funeral matters, did not show up at Beicheng No. [-] Middle School.

Jiang Chen had already made a decision, as long as Jane Ting didn't show up today, she would go to Jane Ting's house again.

Jiang Chen was actually very conflicted. Jane Ting had just experienced the pain of losing a loved one. On the one hand, she hoped that the other party could rest at home and adjust, but on the other hand, if the other party really rested at home, she couldn't help worrying.

She is very aware of Jane's thoughtful personality.

People who pretend to be tough don't want to worry other people.

But if you rest at home, will it still be difficult?

Feeling worried and sad, Jiang Chen went home at noon and opened the yellow peaches that his uncle had sent home.

When she was young, whenever she was sick, she would ask her parents to buy her a bottle of canned yellow peaches.

As long as there is a bottle of canned yellow peach by his side, even Jiang Chen who is afraid of injections can obediently stand in front of the nurse without crying.

She likes the sweetness of crisp peaches accompanied by sugar water.

As she grew up, whenever she was unhappy, she would buy herself a bottle of canned yellow peaches.

After crying, don't be sad.

life goes on.

Tomorrow will be fine.

……

……

When he was at school in the morning, Jiang Chen searched the Internet for the method of making canned yellow peaches during class break.

On the way home, she bought white sugar and a glass bottle in the supermarket.

After lunch, the handsome Chef Jiang started to go online.

……

……

First, soak the glass bottle in boiling water to remove bacteria.

After boiling in hot water for disinfection, shake off the water in the glass bottle and place it upside down on a clean paper towel.

Next, deal with yellow peaches.

Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and cut into chunks.

Because there is no professional processing equipment at hand, Jiang Chen is not skilled enough to leave the yellow peach pulp intact, so she can only cut the pulp into large pieces.

Then wash the pot of stewing sweet soup at home, all the preparations are ready, and the official production begins.

Fill the pot with tap water two-thirds full and allow to boil.

When the water is boiling, turn the heat to low.

Pour in the diced pulp and 500g of white sugar.

Then take a sterilized large spoon and stir gently to prevent the sugar from sticking to the pan.

After about 15 minutes, turn off the heat.

……

……

Because it is summer, the temperature is high, and external assistance is needed to cool down.

Wearing anti-scalding gloves, Jiang Chen moved the soup pot to the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner in the living room.

After about 15 minutes, the temperature in the pot has become mild.

Get the sterilized glass bottle, take out all the yellow peach pulp in the pot, and put it into the glass bottle.

Then pour the syrup in the pot into the bottle, just enough to cover the pulp in the bottle.

Finally, cap the glass bottle tightly and put it in the refrigerator.

Tastes even better when chilled for hours.

Serve with canned yellow peaches.

Jiang Chen specially asked his mother to go home for dinner today.

As long as she comes back to pick up the canned food at dinner time, she can get yellow peaches with excellent taste.

……

……

After evening self-study and school, Jiang Chen took a taxi to Xingqiao Community again.

……

……

My aunt who settled in the UK returned home on leave because of her sister's death.

The holidays last about a month.

In addition to spending time with her parents alternately with her elder brother and younger brother, she also hopes that she can find time for her bereaved niece.

My aunt is in her 30s and is still unmarried.

Because there is only one elder sister of the same gender in the family, the relationship with her elder sister has been closer in the family since childhood.

After Jane Ting was born, my aunt loved her only niece very much.

Before she went abroad, little Jane Ting had an extremely good relationship with her aunt.

Every time my aunt appeared at her home, Jane, who had just learned to speak, would call "Auntie" in a childish voice.

The little baby who was able to call my aunt so heartbroken is now slim and beautiful.

But even she herself did not expect that after seeing Jane Ting again for many years, she would return to China to deal with her sister's funeral.

Looking back on the past, I can't help sighing and nostalgic.

……

……

My aunt and my uncle, two single youths, are temporarily staying at Jane Ting's home.

The eldest uncle took his grandparents to his home, and the current task of the younger aunt and younger uncle was to accompany Jane Ting and comfort her brother-in-law.

In a week, Jiang Chen visited the house for the fourth time, and my aunt was no longer surprised.

The girl in front of him seemed to have a very good relationship with Xiao Ting, and the other party obviously cared about Xiao Ting very much.

My aunt greeted Jiang Chen at the door of the house.

The hall on the first floor of Jian's house was finally no longer crowded with people.

At this moment, Jiang Chen only saw Jane Ting's aunt.

The portrait of Jane's mother was hung on the wall of the living room.

Below the portrait, there are quaint incense burners and fresh tributes.

The little uncle was talking with her brother-in-law on the third floor, and the little aunt was preparing to offer the last stick of incense to her sister today.

"You are here."

Auntie spoke in a very familiar tone.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Still a good boy bowing and saluting.

"I've seen you so many times, but I haven't asked your name yet?"

"Jiang Chen. Auntie, my name is Jiang Chen. Jiang of the Yangtze River, Chen of the morning sun. Because I was born with the morning sun, my father named me 'Chen'."

"That's it, I remember it."

It was hard for Jiang Chen not to notice the sandalwood in his aunt's hand.

"Auntie, are you going to offer incense?"

"Yes, you came here just as you were about to give my sister the last stick of incense today."

"Emmm...Since I'm here to disturb you, I should offer incense sticks to Aunt Jane."

"...I probably know why you and Xiao Ting are so close."

"Ok?"

Hearing such a sentence from his aunt suddenly, Jiang Chen was a little confused.

"At least in terms of precocity and manners, you are the same kind."

Hearing his aunt's explanation, Jiang Chen couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

She's the kind of person who's too shy to hear any compliments, especially shy.

The aunt led Jiang Chen to the living room, took out three sticks of sandalwood from the incense burner, lit them and handed them to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen solemnly held the sandalwood and bowed three times to the portrait.

……

……

The quiet atmosphere of Jian's house made Jiang Chen slow down his steps going upstairs.

Walking to the second floor where Jane Ting was, Jiang Chen made some noises when he walked.

At least let Jane know that someone is coming.

When she walked to the door of the study, she met Jane Ting who was looking at her inquiringly.

"Hi?"

The embarrassing greeting was met with a faint smile from the other party.

Uncomfortable people finally have some relief.

"You are……"

Jiang Chen walked closer to the desk and saw the math textbooks spread out on the desk. She continued,

"Review?"

"kindness."

"...I suddenly feel so ashamed."

"Ok?"

"When the number one seed in the liberal arts class was reviewing, I still wanted to eat."

Jiang Chen curled his lips pretending to be sad.

"Eat? So, what are you thinking of eating now?"

"Yes, I want to eat canned yellow peaches... How about you? Do you like it?"

Such a probing question...

Jiang Chen doesn't seem to mention one thing for no reason...

After thinking about it, Jane guessed the other party's intention.

She may have come to deliver canned yellow peaches.

"I ate it when I was a child. I like it very much."

After hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Jiang Chen felt relieved.

Her worry might be a bit superfluous, she thought that Jane didn't like yellow peaches.

Even if the canned yellow peaches are ready, Jiang Chen doesn't want to force them to the other party.

She dug out the canned food she made from her schoolbag and put it on the desk.

"Me too, I have liked it since I was a child. Have I told you before? I am the only daughter in our family, so my uncles love me very much, and almost every summer they bring me a box of yellow peaches. Before, My mother gave it to me after it was ready. At noon today, I was bored at home. Anyway, I was idle, so I tried to make a few bottles. I tasted the taste and it was not bad, so I brought a bottle here. you."

"you made it yourself?"

"Yes, it's actually very simple and convenient...in the afternoon...oh, no, at night. I took a bottle to school during evening self-study. Both Chen Can and Qian Siyuan thought the taste was okay. "

Seeing that Jane got up, Jiang Chen didn't know why.

Did she say something wrong?

"You... why are you going?"

"You only gave me canned food, not chopsticks."

Jane was amused, and smiled at Jiang Chen who was rarely stupid.

"No no no~~~ No need. You can eat after I leave! What if it doesn't taste good?"

"Didn't you just say that everyone thinks it's okay? How can it be bad?"

"No no no~~~"

Jiang Chen hurriedly stopped Jane Ting who was about to leave the room.

"I'm just here to deliver canned yellow peaches, nothing else. I have a monthly exam tomorrow, and I have to go home to review. Bye, bye! And... don't give me any comments, no matter if it's delicious or not No need. Bye, see you tomorrow!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chen ran downstairs.

After a hasty greeting with my aunt, she left Jane's house.

……

……

My aunt went upstairs curiously, and seeing Jane Ting who happened to be downstairs, she couldn't help asking,

"What's wrong with Jiang Chen? Are you in such a hurry?"

This was the first time my aunt saw Jane Ting's smile after returning to China.

Although very faint...

Although just a little smile...

"School monthly exam the day after tomorrow, I should go home and review."

"You have an exam the day after tomorrow?"

Auntie was a little hesitant to make the decision without authorization and asked for leave for Jane.

"Auntie."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I don't need to ask for leave. Don't worry, my grades are very good."

"Really? It seems that after all these years, our little baby is still the little girl who was all-powerful in the kindergarten and could take the little red flower every day?"

Hearing my aunt mention things about her childhood, Jane was inevitably a little shy.

She was not sensible when she was young, and every time she got a little red flower as a reward in kindergarten, Jane Ting would show it off in front of every relative after returning home.

At that time, Jane Ting's grandparents lived next door to Jane Ting's house.

Every time she got a little red flower, Jane would not only tell her parents who came home from get off work, but also show off to her aunt in the next room.

……

……

"Auntie, you have been abroad. You haven't eaten yellow peaches for a long time, right? Jiang Chen brought a bottle of canned yellow peaches that she made herself. Would you like to try it?"

It looked like my precious niece was deliberately changing the subject.

"The little guy made it himself? Forget it. If my aunt wants to eat yellow peaches, she can buy them by herself tomorrow. A gentleman does not take what others like. Even though my aunt is a woman, she still needs to do what a gentleman should do."

Unexpectedly, I thought I was smart enough to change the subject, but my aunt teased me for a while.

Jane Ting had no choice but to go downstairs silently, pretending nothing happened.

……

……

Taking out the tableware from the cupboard, Jane Ting returned to her room with a glass bottle full of yellow peaches.

Carefully picked out a few petals of yellow peach pulp with chopsticks, and poured some sugar water into the bowl.

Pulp entrance.

Refreshing, smooth and tender, while the yellow peach is still crunchy.

The slightly sourness of the yellow peach itself and the sweetness of the sugar water, the sweet and sour taste of the mixture instantly swept through the mouth...

good to eat!

When encountering delicious food, in fact, what I want to express the most, I can only say, and I am afraid that the only word is "delicious".

The aftertaste remains between the tongue.

Soon, Jane Ting finished a bowl of yellow peaches.

Still unfinished.

……

……

Jane Ting is not an obedient taster.

She found a mobile phone that had not been used for many days and was turned off automatically due to low battery, connected the charging cable, and turned on the mobile phone.

Originally, he wanted to send Jiang Chen an aftertaste, but he didn't think about it, but the phone kept beeping.

A lot of unread text messages, from the care of different people...

Also, in the past few days, Jiang Chen's "good night" text messages.

Jane Ting clicked on the other party's message and replied:

Yellow peaches are delicious, I like them very much.

good night.
