Chapter 3 Familiar Home

After sending Han Xue home, Jiang Mu walked on the road he had returned home more than ten years ago, feeling that everything was so familiar.

The light poles were vaguely printed with various ink stamps saying "Cure X Disease, Plum D" and "Heavy Money to Seek a Child".

In my memory, these later advertisements will be replaced by various small and micro loans and financial products.

The grass growing out of the cracks in the stones on the roadside reminded Jiang Mu of his childhood, when he and his friends grew up playing in this alley.

"Xiao Mu, is school over?"

"Well, yes! Grandma, let me help you?"

"No, no, no."

On the way, I met my neighbor's grandmother who came out to take out the trash. Then she grabbed her grandson who was playing in the alley and went back to do his homework. When she returned to the house, she even slapped the child's delicate little hands angrily.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu couldn't help but smile.

Somehow, I suddenly returned to my hometown county more than ten years ago. The nerves that had been tense for many years in the workplace seemed to relax.

At this time, bursts of fragrance wafted not far away. During this time, you can always smell the food in the neighbor's kitchen.

"My parents should be at home at this time." Jiang Mu looked at the time, looking forward to seeing his parents from more than ten years ago.

Jiang Mu's father is Jiang Guoping, who works as the deputy director of the leasing office of the local housing management department.

Maybe it’s because of my personality, or maybe the department I work in is not that prosperous, so I don’t usually socialize much. After get off work, I usually go home and have dinner with my wife Xie Junfen.

"Are you surfing the Internet?"

In the study room, Xie Junfen had just finished cleaning and saw her husband sitting in front of the computer, so she said: "Recently, my colleagues are learning to shop online. I have also taken a fancy to a piece of clothing online. I am hesitating whether to buy it?"

"When Jiang Mu comes back, ask him to pay you."

At this time, Jiang Guoping and the others didn't know how to shop online, so they usually asked Jiang Mu to help them pay online.

"No rush! I haven't decided whether to buy it or not?"

"When did you hesitate that affected the outcome?"

"you……"

Jiang Mu opened the door and shouted after entering: "Mom and Dad! I'm here."

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here." Father Jiang said.

Xie Junfen said happily: "The little bastard calls for someone when he comes in. He must be hungry. I'll heat up some food."

When Jiang Mu saw his parents at this time, he stood there for a while and sighed in his heart: His parents are really young at this time!

…

During dinner, Jiang Mu kept looking around, reviewing the decoration and furnishings of his hometown more than ten years ago. He felt nostalgic and forgot to chat with his parents for a moment.

Seeing that her son seemed to be preoccupied, mother Xie Junfen suddenly said, "Er! How are you and Xiaoxue doing? Does he like you?"

"What! Have you watched too many TV series? She and I are classmates. I helped her and she thanked me." Jiang Mu complained.

"I don't believe it!"

At this time, Xie Junfen seemed to have entered the state of watching bloody love dramas, "Don't she have a good impression of you like a young girl?"

"Yes... maybe a little bit," Jiang Mu said with a mouthful of saliva, "but I think we should guide this feeling in the right direction."

Hearing this, Jiang Guoping was a little surprised: "Why do you talk like a little adult today?"

"It means your son is mature!"

Xie Junfen changed her usual critic style and said gently: "It's okay if you are with her, Mom won't stop me."

"..." Hearing this, Jiang Mu almost spit out his rice.

"Let's talk about family circumstances. Their family is indeed a little better than ours." Xie Junfen ignored Jiang Mu's embarrassment and continued:

"In terms of appearance, although I am a little taller than her mother, but now that there is Han Xue, their overall appearance may be a little better than ours."

Jiang Mu was happy. It seemed that his mother had been looking in the mirror a lot recently.

"Mom, there are still me and my dad here!"

Xie Junfen said disgustedly: "It's just because your father is a burden that they are a little higher than us."

Jiang Guoping: "…………"

"What about intelligence?" Jiang Mu said.

"Then we must be a little higher. I don't know what my son's level is. You have been smart since you were a child, and you will definitely be better than your father in the future."

Xie Junfen looked at her son with a look like a bole discovering a thousand-mile horse.

Have you been smart since you were a child? Jiang Mu was stunned.

Father Jiang didn't seem to agree with this and said: "Put it down. Xiaoxue is a class cadre. I heard from her parents that her academic performance is good. What is the popular word nowadays..."

"Xueba!" Jiang Mu said.

"Oh, yes, Xueba." Father Jiang nodded.

"What's wrong with the top student? Our son is not bad at studying! Besides, isn't the top student treating our son well every day?"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Guoping said without raising his head.

"Hey, Jiang Guoping, are you trying to make a point? Who can't see it?" Xie Junfen put the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Hey, why are you talking about this? You don't even think about whether other people's families are willing to do it."

Jiang Guoping cleaned the rice in the bowl, put down the chopsticks in his hands, picked up his tea cup that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, turned around and said:

"The two children have just finished high school, and they will have to go to college in the future! Can't we put academics first?"

"Jiang Mu, don't listen to your mother. Well... when the scores come out, we'll sign up for a better major."

"You know nothing! If your wooden fish head was half as clear as mine, you wouldn't be just a minor who can only drink tea and read newspapers!" Xie Junfen said in an aura.

"Don't always make trouble with me. I tell you, don't use bean bags as dry food!"

Jiang Guoping was obviously unhappy after his wife said something to him.

Xie Junfen was unconvinced and said: "Anyway, I just think Xiaoxue is the most beautiful and outstanding child I have ever seen... I have never seen a better girl than Han Xue in my life!"

"I've seen it before." In his previous life, Jiang Mu had been in the business world for many years and met a lot of high-quality women. At this time, a figure with long flowing hair unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"Huh?" Xie Junfen raised his brows warily.

"Smash it!"

Xie Junfen ignored her husband, turned to Jiang Mu and said seriously: "Tell me the truth, are you dating other girls?"

In fact, Jiang Mu regretted it after saying this, because he knew that women always have an overly sensitive intuition when dealing with such emotional issues, and would even dig up the roots of a tree to find out the matter.

"What? Just use 'return'. Mom, stop guessing. Why are you thinking about all this? You are not in a hurry to have a grandson!"

"You are not as honest as your father in this regard. Since you were a child, you have always loved playing with your sisters who are older than you!"

"Have you seen this?" Jiang Mu then changed the topic and said, "But it seems that my dad still has advantages in your eyes!"

"Yes, there are, but not many!"

Xie Junfen said: "Hey! Let me tell you something serious! Don't deliberately talk about something here..."

"You know me like a mother...!"

Jiang Mu looked up at the lamp, then put down his rice bowl: "No more chatting, I'm full!"

Jiang Mu naturally understood what his mother wanted to express. She wanted to say that if she missed this village, she would not have this store!

But Jiang Mu has a different idea. If we miss this village, then we will open another store in the next village, and it must be a chain store!
