Chapter 312 I like you more and more
"Yishu, this year you accompany me home for the New Year. When that brat Chen Jianghe comes to visit us, how about giving him a surprise?"
Just as Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi were driving back to Dongguan City, Zheng Jiaxin and Jiang Yishu also packed their luggage and prepared to go home.
"Okay." Jiang Yishu agreed softly, and then said, "But my parents called a few times to urge me, so I still have to go home first."
"It's only right that you go home first. I'll go back with you, have a few meals at your house, and then take you to my house." Zheng Jiaxin said with a smile: "Your parents shouldn't mind, right?"
"No, I often mention you when I call home. My parents really want to meet you." Jiang Yishu replied with a smile.
In fact, having lived with her aunt for so long, Jiang Yishu has long regarded her as a family member. When she talked to her parents on the phone, the person she mentioned most frequently was Chen Jianghe, followed by her aunt.
"Let's go home." Zheng Jiaxin pushed the suitcase with one hand and hugged Yishu with the other, and said generously.
"good."
Jiang Yishu followed her aunt out. Before going down the stairs, she looked back at the door , thinking how nice it would be if her brother also came out with his luggage and went home with her and her aunt.
…
Due to the slippery road caused by rain and the congestion on the highway, Chen Jianghe chose to return to Dongguan City via the ordinary highway.
The journey was relatively smooth and we arrived home at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hey, Jiang He is back!"
As soon as the car stopped, the neighbors who were sitting under the eaves of Old Chen's house drinking tea and chatting all looked at us sideways.
Ever since the Chen family built this new house and spent a large sum of money to contract five houses in the village, the neighbors who used to rarely interact with each other have gradually started to like gathering here.
The saying goes, "No one cares about the poor in a busy city, but the rich in a remote mountain area have distant relatives." This is generally true.
At first, the neighbors' focus was on Chen Jianghe, but after Xu Zhixi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car, everyone's eyes fell on her.
She is so beautiful and has an outstanding temperament.
"Ah He, if I remember correctly, this pretty girl is your college counselor, right? Is she here to do a home visit again this year?"
At this time, the neighbor uncle Liao Youzhi who was sitting on the right side of the door spoke with a smile.
Last year, he happened to meet Xu Zhixi and Chen Jianghe when they were going home. He stared at her for a long time because she was so beautiful. He didn't pay attention to the road conditions while riding his bike and fell into the pond. He had a deep memory of it.
"My counselor is not only beautiful, but also responsible and conscientious in her work. She makes home visits every year."
Chen Jianghe responded with a half-seriously grin, then took out a pack of cigarettes and walked forward to give cigarettes to the "uncles".
"Brother Jiang He, your college counselor is so pretty." The girl next door, Liao Wanlan, said with a smile.
"You're pretty, too." Chen Jianghe glanced at her, shook his cigarette box and asked her jokingly, "Would you like one?"
"Okay." Liao Wanlan reached out, took out a cigarette, and handed it to her father.
Liao Youzhi took it with a smile and put it on his ear.
"Uncle Liao, where are my parents? " Chen Jianghe looked around and asked casually.
"I went to the village committee to do some work. I should be back soon."
As Liao Youzhi spoke, he drank the cup of tea in front of him, stood up and said to the other neighbors: "You've been sitting here for a long time, come to my house and play mahjong to exercise."
"Let's go, let's go."
Everyone hit it off immediately and followed Liao Youzhi, talking and laughing.
"Brother Jianghe, please come to my house when you have time." Liao Wanlan said politely to Chen Jianghe with a smile before leaving.
This is a common polite expression among neighbors.
"Okay." Chen Jianghe nodded with a smile.
When he was a child, he did often visit the Liao family, but he stopped going there when he grew up. After all, he had a sense of shame, and he couldn't just squat on the ground and pee together like he did when he was a child, with you looking at me and me looking at you.
"That little beauty just now has a close relationship with you."
Xu Zhixi walked up to Chen Jianghe and said with a smile, "Brother Jianghe."
Chen Jianghe said with a smile: "She is just my sister."
"How many sisters do you have?" Xu Zhixi asked with interest.
Chen Jianghe counted on his fingers and carefully in front of Teacher Xu, like a baby in kindergarten: one, two, three, one, two, three.
Xu Zhixi was stunned. After a long hesitation, she asked, "So many?"
"I have four uncles and two aunts. Each of my uncles has a daughter. My sixth aunt also has a daughter. All of them are sisters," Chen Jianghe explained.
"Oh." Xu Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief.
"The word 'brother' you just called me was very touching. Can you call me that again?" Chen Jianghe cleverly changed the subject.
"No more shouting." Xu Zhixi snorted and went into the house with the gift.
Chen Jianghe smiled, and the voice of "Brother Jianghe" seemed to still echo in his mind.
The secretary has a sweet girl's voice, Yishu has a gentle lady's voice, Xu Zhixi has a seductive queen's voice, and what she said just now sounded very much like the King of the Kingdom of Women calling the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty as "My dear brother".
"When I was young, I only saw monkeys. Now that I think about it, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women is so damn beautiful. If I were a holy monk, I would return to secular life right after the Kingdom of Women, disband the team, and reach the pinnacle of life."
Chen Jianghe thought deeply about it, then looked up at Xu Zhixi again, only to see her taking ingredients out of the refrigerator, rolling up her sleeves and going into the kitchen.
"They say marry a virtuous wife, and this is my virtuous wife."
Chen Jianghe sighed secretly and trotted into the house to help. Every time he came home, he would shout "Mom, I'm hungry" and then lie down waiting to be fed. Today, it was a rare day that his parents were not at home, so he and his wife cooked a delicious meal for the old couple to show their filial piety.
In fact, with Chen Jianghe's current wealth, it would be no problem for him to hire a few servants or nannies for his family. However, he encountered opposition when he communicated with his father on the phone before, so the plan was temporarily shelved.
Xu Zhixi is a good cook and understands the taste of Cantonese people. With the help of Chen Jianghe, it didn't take much effort to prepare a table full of delicious dishes.
Chen Jianguo and Zheng Lihua smelled the aroma of food before they even entered the house, and they both looked at the car parked at the door.
"My son is back!"
This was Zheng Lihua’s first reaction.
"Change the car again?" Chen Jianguo wondered in his heart. His son changed cars quite frequently. Could it be that he changed his girlfriend every time he changed a car?
When they entered the house and saw Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi bringing dishes to the table from the kitchen, smiles instantly appeared on the couple's faces.
"Xiao Xu rarely comes here, why is he in the kitchen?"
Zheng Lihua's love and doting on Xu Zhixi were all written on her face. She was reluctant to let her serve the dishes, so she quickly stepped forward to take over: "Be careful, it's hot, I'll serve it."
"Jianguo, come and see how beautiful the dishes are." After Zheng Lihua brought the dishes to the table, she couldn't help but wave to her husband.
"Wow, Xiao Xu's cooking skills are amazing. We're in for a treat tonight." Chen Jianguo praised generously.
"Dad, Mom, what about me?" Chen Jianghe blinked. As a baby of three years and one hundred months, it was necessary for him to ask for credit: "I have been busy for so long, can you praise me too?"
"You've worked hard driving." Chen Jianguo patted his son's shoulder and said calmly.
"What else?" Chen Jianghe pointed at the dish of stir-fried beef with bitter melon on the table and hinted wildly.
"Go open a bottle of wine and drink some tonight." Chen Jianguo said with a smile.
"Oh." Chen Jianghe said, and turned to get the wine.
"uh-huh."
Chen Jianghe was looking for a good wine worth savoring in front of the wine cabinet when he heard Xu Zhixi's voice behind him.
Turning her head slightly, Xu Zhixi stretched out her hand to scratch his palm and said with a smile: "You performed very well today."
"Hmm?" Chen Jianghe didn't expect that Teacher Xu would come over to praise him. His vanity was instantly satisfied.
However, Chen Jianghe looked a little silly in front of Xu Zhixi. She couldn't help but smile and leaned close to his ear: "Classmate Chen Jianghe, you are good at both being a lady and a cook. I like you more and more."
