Shi Hao doesn't live alone, he? He also has a teenage older brother with gray hair.

When Jiang Wang knocked on the door, Shi Hao only opened the door and looked at him vigilantly?: "What's the matter?"

"My surname is Jiang, you should have heard of it," Jiang Wang smiled and handed a cigarette: "I seem to have misunderstood you before the fall. Let's talk about it before the New Year, so as not to be unhappy in the future."

When Shi Haoyi heard that, his face turned blue, but he still opened the door a little more.

"I really didn't mean it." He defended: "And it's not necessary to remember such a big thing for so many years, right? Is it necessary for us to be male?"

"No need. I told Lin Qiu on the way here, but it was just a small misunderstanding." Jiang Wang smiled generously: "Come, let's go in and have a seat, won't we delay you drinking a cup of tea?"

Shi Hao first glanced at Ji Linqiu and found him? It seemed that he really listened to Jiang Wang's words before he opened the door with confidence.

"Don't delay!"

Ji Linqiu dutifully served as the background board for thirty to ten minutes.

Strictly speaking, they only talked a few words when they opened the door, and then it was purely Mr. Jiang and Shi Haochui who talked about the international situation, stocks and oil, and then a series of money-making deals in the city. .

First, Shi Hao was still dubious at first, and was a little cautious. In the second half of the conversation, Jiang Wang completely detoured him. Before he knew it, he laughed and called him brother, and even called his brother to come and listen to the news.

Jiang Wang has sent out a lot of red envelopes in the past two days, and his conversation is generous and generous, and his popularity has grown rapidly.

Shi Hao chatted comfortably and relaxedly, and after staying with Mr. Jiang for a long time, his face was glowing, and he was still somewhat respectful.

Ji Linqiu just thought it was absurd to sit here.

"Since we've talked about it," Jiang Wangyi patted his thigh, looking like he was very talkative: "What else should I say, I should finish it together today, with a new look for the new year."

Shi Hao froze for a while, then turned to look at his brother.

The old boss knocked on the cane: "Listen to Boss Jiang, what have you done and said, don't make trouble with the Ji family in the future!"

Shi Hao was suddenly asked this, and was stunned for a long time, not expecting the offensive to turn so quickly.

Jiang Wang was all too familiar with this kind of skinny face, with an old-fashioned look on his face.

"We want to hide something from each other, and it will be embarrassing to meet again in the future, isn't it?"

Shi Hao's heart swayed, relying on the presence of his eldest brother and boss Jiang, he stood up and apologized to Ji Linqiu, who had been silent.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched you? Sister."

Ji Linqiu's pupils are vertical.

"What did you say?"

Shi Hao didn't notice his murderous intent, he lowered his head and said hesitantly, "I was always teasing her when she wasn't married, pinching her ass, and I didn't do anything too much, you? Believe me. ."

All of Ji Linqiu's forbearance and anger suddenly erupted, and his voice was cold: "You dare to touch my sister?"

Jiang Wang turned around and said in a very soft voice, "Brother Shi, it's not too much to beat him up for this kind of bastard, right?"

Both Shi Jia were shocked. Without waiting for Shi Hao to react, Ji Linqiu kicked him directly.

"Hi" Shi Hao was fully prepared just now, but he was kicked to the ground by surprise, and screamed: "You?!!"

The old man swayed and was about to stand up, but Jiang Wang pressed him down, and said lightly, "You don't have to get involved in a fight with the junior."

"Don't hit, don't hit!! It hurts—ah!! Face!!"

Ji Linqiu had never beaten anyone before, but today his eyes were ruthless, his movements were neat and clean, accurate and vigorous.

Jiang Wang slowly pointed at the side: "Don't kick your stomach, it's easy to rupture your internal organs."

"Well, this one? The elbow strike is firm and the muscles are relaxed."

On the way, Shi Hao tried to stand up or fight back several times, but he couldn't find any chance at all.

After a few strokes, his nose bleeds: "You?—You? Actually!"

Ji Linqiu sneered, kicked him hard, turned his head and left.

He didn't even talk to Jiang Wang anymore, he turned around and went home immediately after beating the man, letting the man follow him all the way.

The mountain road is stony, the wild grass grows wildly, and a large tract of wild oleander leans against the stream and hides its way.

Ji Linqiu stepped on the stone through the forest and chose the closest path, as if the chains around him were being untied one by one at the moment, ignoring the surprised greeting of the mother at the entrance of the courtyard, he rushed all the way to the back kitchen where the firewood was choking.

A group of sisters-in-law exclaimed: "Qiuqiu, you? Why are you here?!"

"This is the kitchen, you? Who are you looking for? Are you hungry? Why are you looking so bad?"

"I'm here to pick up my sister." He stretched out his hand and clenched Ji Changxia's wrist, forcibly dragging her out of the endless clan feast preparations: "Don't cook any more, the dishes that should be prepared are long enough."

"Hey, Linqiu, you? Why do you suddenly care about women!"

"Don't, she hasn't finished chopping the meat yet!"

Ji Linqiuyi's body is cold, and his eyes are extremely sharp.

"Nowadays, there are so many people going to restaurants for New Year's Eve dinners, and it's easy for anyone to suffer in a hurry."

"My sister Ji Changxia, she is not someone's servant."

After saying that, he led her upstairs and strode upstairs, not giving anyone a chance to refute at all.

A few middle-aged women were still surrounding the boiler, a little dazed and angry.

"What does it look like to read a little book, Lin Qiu? Mom you? Don't come and take care of it!!"

"How many fish are left unpacked, looking for his sister? Instead, they are still not happy?"

"That's right, take the gun pills and be so rushed, who owes him?"

Ji Linqiu pulled Ji Changxia into the study and questioned him alone. It took more than 40 minutes after the door was closed, and he didn't know what was said inside.

In the middle, Ji's father and Ji's mother gathered around and watched it several times worriedly, but they didn't dare to touch the sudden anger of their son, so they had to check Jiang Wang's tone.

"Oh, I've offended people again."

"Where do you want to go?" Jiang Wang laughed: "Young people are very angry, and if they can't talk about a fight, they will play around, and they haven't knocked out a few teeth."

It's just half a month of bed rest, the muscles are bruised and painful, and they deserve it.

"Besides," he leaned against the wall and looked at the study room. "Linqiu, whoever has eyes, will praise him."

"Those who hate him don't have eyes, and the result will be the same after trying to please him a few times."

Ji Guoshen thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, so he just continued to wait uneasily.

When the study door opened again, the girl hugged her brother hard with red eyes, and said she remembered.

Ji Linqiu nodded silently, sent her out and closed the room, staying alone until dinner time.

Jiang Wang went out earlier, saying that he has a wide network of connections and that there are a lot of people he should know.

The Shi family also knew that he was wrong, and that night sent someone to bring wine to apologize.

The grandson who was beaten was still screaming in pain on the bed, and it was said that he had used almost a whole bottle of Buda wine.

Jiang Wang didn't take the initiative to find Ji Linqiu, and watched "Han Zhu Gege 2" with a bunch of children in the afternoon.

He knew that Ji Linqiu had to sort out a lot of things.

This man used to believe so much in order that he abides by the worldly definition of duty and never takes a wrong step.

If he didn't see him again, Ji Linqiu might live like this for the rest of his life, peacefully forbearing, without a single thorn on his body.

Today's fight made him see blood on the back of his hand, and it was as if he suddenly realized it.

After the concubine Xiangfei on TV turned into a butterfly and flew away, Ji Linqiu finally went downstairs and had dinner with everyone calmly and indifferently.

The soft and kind shell on his body has come off.

As if the mountain fog had dissipated and the night snow had melted, the whole person had a clear outline and a sharp aura.

Ji's parents had never seen him look angry, they carefully took several pieces of goat meat and wild boar, and watched him pour the soup without saying a word.

Ji Changxia smiled instead.

"By the way, Linqiu," Chen Danhong didn't eat much, seemed relieved, and said in a calm voice: "After dinner, you? Come here, Mom will show you something."

She noticed Jiang Wang, and was afraid that he might misunderstand them and that they were avoiding him on purpose. She smiled and said, "It's a dress, nothing, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so I have to wear new clothes for the New Year, right?"

Jiang Wang didn't take it to heart at first, but at this moment, the chopsticks didn't catch the dried bamboo shoots, and subconsciously said, "Can I follow along."

"Yes, of course."

Jiang Wang's face became complicated.

They went upstairs after dinner and entered the old couple's bedroom.

Chen Danhong opened the closet and said slowly, "In the past, Mom always treated you like a child. Today, when I look at you, I realize that you are older, in your twenties, and have started to protect your sister."

Her hands have ravines left by the well water over the years, as well as a few dark marks of frostbite.

"In fact, Mom has always had a coat. The old man made it a long time ago. I want to wear it for you for the New Year."

The new clothes, which were carefully wrapped in red cloth, were taken down from the heights and unfolded carefully and slowly.

"But you... didn't come back."

No return for one year, no return for three years, and no return for five years.

Chen Danhong laughed a little at herself, and finally she was willing to say a few angry words half-jokingly in front of her son.

"Let me tell you, Dad, Guoshen, if our son doesn't think that we don't have our two parents, this clothes will be given to him when I die."

"I can't think I might have to wait until that day to see you, see you, put on this coat."

Jiang Wang stood beside them and saw that the coat was slowly unfolded.

The stand-up collar is well cut and the buttons are dark grey.

Double-breasted mid-rise. Fabric wool-blend.

The size of the style is all customized according to the body shape of Ji Linqiu.

He has worn this coat for more than ten years, and his fingertips remember the texture of every place.

It was intact at this moment, lying quietly in front of them in a brand new look.

Jiang Wang didn't dare to guess why Ji Linqiu gave him this coat?

In that year, he might not even know that it was a gift from his deceased mother who had been waiting for him, or perhaps out of a more indistinguishable emotion, he temporarily took off this coat and gave it to a poor student. , no goodbye?.

He still remembers that Ji Linqiu he met at the train station when he was about to leave Hongcheng.

Desolate and calm, standing alone in the waiting hall where the heads are swaying, wearing the coat left by the deceased mother, like a long-forgotten carrier pigeon.

There is no letter, no way to go, and no nest to return to.

Until saw the fifteen-year-old student, the smile warmed again, and haven't seen him for a few years? can still call out his name.

"Jiang Wang, how are you doing recently?"

Jiang Wang looked at the lost coat, his eyes flicking from the neckline to the sleeves inch by inch.

He? Re-stands at the beginning of the story.

My heart is cold, my throat is hot. w, please keep in mind:,
