hope for redemption

Chapter 57 Together with you, Chapter 1

In the spacious and bright hall, there are a group of middle-aged aunts dressed in bright colors. They are very familiar with the melon seeds on the table, chattering and asking various questions.

Jiang Xi rubbed the warming quilt nervously, and sat there not daring to move.

This matter has to be talked about from the nights of the previous few days, when he was exhausted, but Lin Wang was like an insatiable beast, pushing himself on the bed and continuing to work.

A few seconds before he was about to fall asleep, Lin Wang stopped suddenly, put his earlobe in his mouth and said, "Honey, why don't you go back to celebrate the New Year with me this year?"

"Huh?" I was in a daze at the time, my mind was so muddled that I couldn't comprehend what Lin Wang said into a sentence.

"Let me tell you," Lin Wang let go of his earlobe, leaned closer to his ear and said, "Would you like to go back to celebrate the New Year with me this year?"

At that time, I was about to step into a boundless dream, and I only heard the words "come with me" and "okay" in a daze. Anyway, as long as I can do anything with Lin Wang, I didn't even think about it. I agreed to come down.

When they came together the next morning and saw Lin Wang packing his luggage, Jiang Xi asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"

"Help you pack your luggage," Lin Wang replied without looking back.

"Pack your luggage? What kind of luggage are you packing?" Jiang Xi became more and more confused.

Hearing Jiang Xi's question, Lin Wang stopped what he was doing, turned around to look at himself with a complicated face and asked, "You won't forget, right? You promised me that you would go back to celebrate the New Year with me."

"What?! When did I agree?" Jiang Xi asked in shock, her voice raised several degrees unconsciously.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Wang knew that he must have forgotten, so he got up and sat on the bedside helplessly and said, "Last night, I asked you if you want to go back with me to celebrate the New Year, you said yes, you don't remember?"

Jiang Xi suddenly recalled the question Lin Wang had asked before he fell asleep last night, and it turned out that this was what he asked!

Jiang Xi can't wait to slap himself now, if he asks you to sleep or if you don't listen clearly, he will agree indiscriminately, what should we do?

"You don't want to go back with me, do you?" Lin Wang's eyes were a little cold.

"...No." Jiang Xi bit her lower lip, rubbed the quilt nervously and said, "I...I just think this will be too fast?"

Seeing Jiang Xi's nervous look, Lin Wang tilted his head and smiled, then took off his shoes and lifted the quilt to go to bed, held Jiang Xi in his arms and played with his fingers while asking, "Hurry up, didn't you come early?" Have you met your parents?"

"How can I..." Jiang Xi just wanted to say that I have never met my parents, but suddenly thought of my mother-in-law, Lao Zhang and Mr. Cheng, and then I realized that right, I have met my parents a long time ago.

Wait, but this is different, at that time they thought they were classmates with Lin Wang, but the meaning of following him back for the Chinese New Year is different.

"They... do they know about our relationship?" Jiang Xi asked, leaning on Lin Wang's chest.

Lin Wang kissed Jiang Xi's hair and said back: "I told them that your parents are not at home, and it's strange that you celebrate the New Year alone. If you want to make it public, you can."

The reason why Lin Wang has not told Lao Zhang and others is that he has his own considerations. First, the relationship between him and Jiang Xi has not completely calmed down at this stage. He has a very clear perception of feelings. Stability still needs more running-in.The second is Jiang Xi's own reasons, which made it hard for him to change his identity to face Lao Zhang and his mother-in-law before he was ready.

This matter has to be done step by step. The most important thing is to abduct people home and celebrate the New Year with yourself, and then do the rest slowly.

"No, it's fine like this." Jiang Xi said immediately, but then he felt that his attitude towards this relationship was insincere in such an immediate reply, and then immediately explained: "I...I don't want to To be honest, I think our current..."

"I know, I didn't think too much about it, don't be so nervous." Lin Wang looked at Jiang Xi's flustered explanation, and laughed a little: "So, go back to celebrate the New Year with me?"

Jiang Xi raised his head to look at Lin Wang, met his gaze and replied, "Hui, let's go back to celebrate the New Year with you."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly got up and sat on Lin Wang's body, cupped his face and kissed him.

How could he be able to meet such a boyfriend? Jiang Xi felt that all his good luck might have gathered in that afternoon, the afternoon when he met Lin Wang.

Suddenly, Lin Wang suddenly turned over and pressed Jiang Xi under him, and began to take off his shirt.

Jiang Xi looked at him in horror and asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Lin Wang tossed his clothes and began to pull his trousers: "Baby, I suddenly remembered that after you and I went back, Lao Zhang and the others were also there. We have to restrain ourselves so that they don't find out, so we now do everything we can't do in the future." Make it up."

restraint?You, Lin Wang, still know restraint?

When Lin Wang said this, Jiang Xi found it inexplicably funny. Since the holiday, the time Jiang Xi fears the most every day is the night. Her own home and Lin Wang's home are full of traces left by the two of them.He really couldn't see that Lin Wang was a person who knew restraint.

"You...don't you still have to pack your luggage?" While talking, he pulled the quilt to cover his naked body, trying to escape.

"Don't worry, we'll do the same in the afternoon." Lin Wang threw down his trousers, pulled off the quilt and put them back on.

Then, the two of them packed their luggage in the afternoon and took the last bus back to Lin Wang's old house.

The old house of Lin Wang's family is not far from the county seat, and it takes about half an hour to get there by bus. The village is beautiful, and the winding roads have a kind of artistic conception of another village.

The old house is a one-story house, and the walls were simply painted with white paint without tiles on the outside. When they arrived, they happened to meet seven aunts and eight aunts who were full of the house, and they dragged them to sit on the stove as soon as they entered the door. Ask east and west.

Jiang Xi hadn't faced this kind of situation for a long time, seeing so many mouths closing and closing in front of him, he suddenly became nervous, and sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

"Oh, look, which one is it?" An aunt in a red padded jacket looked at Jiang Xi and asked.

Lin Wang was obviously able to deal with these things with ease, and said with a polite smile: "My classmate."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Jiang Xi immediately reacted and smiled back: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Jiang Xi."

"Oh, is that so?" The woman exchanged glances with the people around her, then turned her head and continued to ask, "Are you here for the New Year? Do your parents know?"

"I.."

Jiang Xi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lao Zhang who was sitting beside him: "Jiang Xi is my student, and his parents entrusted me to take care of it. Don't worry about the eight of you."

Hearing Lao Zhang's unscrupulous ridicule, everyone couldn't hold back their faces, and replied embarrassingly: "Why don't you care about it?"

"Hehe," Lao Zhang lay down on the back of the sofa, lifted his chin and said, "Look, we haven't been back for a long time, take a broom and a rag to clean up the house."

"...OK" Lin Wang gave Lao Zhang a helpless look, sighed and got up to get the broom.

Although Jiang Xi hasn't stayed in China for a few years, these parents still understand the etiquette issues taught since childhood. When there are guests at home, you can't use a broom to clean it, otherwise it means you have to drive others away, which is very uncomfortable. Polite.

In Jiang Xi's impression, Lao Zhang is not such a person who doesn't understand etiquette, why...

Without giving Jiang Xi time to continue thinking, the group of relatives stood up one after another, smiled awkwardly, said a few polite words, and then left together.

Lin Wang took the broom and said while sweeping: "You say you, what are you doing? They are just so virtuous, and if they can't ask what they want to know, they will naturally leave. If you chase people away like this, you may wait for them to wait." What will be said about you behind your back."

"I've watched the jokes for so many years. They can't get enough of me. I'm really not in the mood to deal with them. Just say what you want. Anyway, we only come back once a year, and they can do whatever they want." Old Zhang pouted and replied. , Then turned on the phone and looked at the time and muttered: "What's the matter with Lao Cheng, why have you been away for so long and haven't come back?"

"Huh? Where did Teacher Cheng go?" Lin Wang swept the garbage on the ground into the garbage shovel.

"I'm going to pick up your mother." Lao Zhang immediately replied, and then suddenly remembered that there was Jiang Xi in the room, and suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Wang, but he opened his mouth but could only utter the syllable forehead.

Lin Wang?

Hearing what Lao Zhang said, Jiang Xi suddenly came to his senses, yes, I have known Lin Wang for so long, and I haven't met his parents, and I haven't even heard him mention it.

Jiang Xi vaguely felt that there must be something in it.

"Oh, did you drive there?" Lin Wang asked with a normal expression.

"Ah, yes, you..."

Before Lao Zhang finished speaking, the sound of a car driving in came from the yard, and he immediately put on his shoes and trotted out.

But Lin Wang calmly dumped the garbage from the garbage shovel into the trash can, put the broom back in the corner, and calmly walked out the door.

"Brother" Jiang Xi sensed something was wrong with him, and hurried forward to grab his hand.

Lin Wang turned his head and showed a comforting smile: "Don't worry, my mother is very easy to get along with. If you smile at her more, she will like you very much."

"not me..."

Before Jiang Xi could continue talking, the door of the hall was fully opened, and Lao Zhang walked in pushing his wheelchair.

Even though the woman in the wheelchair has gone through the years, she still can't stop her beautiful face, but her eyes are dull, like a marionette that has lost its vitality.

Even though Jiang Xi doesn't know her past, just looking at her like this can feel the sadness and loneliness lingering around her.

"Look, come here." Old Zhang's voice was choked with sobs.

Lin Wang squeezed Jiang Xi's hand, stepped forward and knelt down in front of his mother, and softly called out: "Mom"

Lin Wang's cry was like a fire that fell into the mortal world, and immediately ignited the dying light in his mother's eyes. His mother suddenly raised her head, showing a smile, and touched Lin Wang's cheek with her withered hands. He shouted in a low voice, "Look."

She looked at Lin Wang almost obsessively, and suddenly the obsession in her eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by extreme panic. In the blink of an eye, she hugged her head tightly and bowed her body, letting out a miserable and sad scream .

Jiang Xi stared blankly at all this, not understanding why it was just a warm picture of a mother and child reunited, and then it became like this in the next second. The key is the reaction of Lao Zhang and the others. There is no surprise in their eyes other than sadness. It is obvious that they often Facing this circumstances.

why?Jiang Xi couldn't figure it out, he stared blankly at Lin Wang's back, the shoulders that he thought were broad and solid seemed so thin at this moment.
