During the winter vacation, her uncle’s family received a lot of new year’s goods from the company. It was said that her uncle was promoted as he did an excellent job this year.
The three of them couldn’t finish using them all, so they gave a lot to Jiang Shuisheng. Jiang Shuisheng was also shocked by the pile of new year’s goods, which included towels, soap, and melon seed candies.
Jiang Sui gave him an idea: “Shall we give some to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Hong?”
Jiang Shuisheng was not stingy and he naturally agreed after hearing this. There were so many things, so they could even distribute them from house to house, no matter how small they were. He was kind-hearted, so he took Jiang Sui to visit.
Jiang Sui pulled his clothes: “Dad, we won’t give it to Zhao Nan’s family.”
Jiang Shuisheng said: “We are all neighbors, so it is not good to favor one over the other.”
Jiang Sui’s eyes were bright, and she insisted: “Their family is too bad, so I won’t give it away! There is no need to be friends with such people because they won’t be grateful. The two brothers Chi Yan and Chi Yiming are still living alone outside.”
Jiang Shuisheng sighed and was moved by her words: “Okay then, we won’t give it away if you don’t want to.”
When they were sent to Sun’s house, as soon as Sun Xiaowei heard that Jiang Sui was coming, he rushed out of the room and walked all the way across the yard. When he reached the door, he raised his head reservedly and proudly, picking and choosing at what Jiang Sui had brought.
“It’s all…this kind of candy tastes terrible…”
Sun Xiaowei’s father had a vein popping on his forehead as if he wanted to beat this mean-mouthed boy to death. Jiang Shuisheng smiled good-naturedly, and Jiang Sui… had a good temper, but she didn’t look at him and pulled Jiang Shuisheng to signal that they could leave.
Sun Xiaowei saw that they were about to leave and said hurriedly: “Hey, although it tastes bad, I will accept it reluctantly. Do you want wine-filled chocolate? I still have toffee, don’t leave yet, I will give some to you out of mercy. Can I give it to you?”
Jiang Sui shook her head and said in a sticky voice, “Thank you.”
Sun Xiaowei said coquettishly: “I have something else, how about butterfly fireworks? What about spinning dragonflies?”
Jiang Sui said she didn’t want it.
Sun Xiaowei changed his face and said: “Huh, if you don’t want it, don’t want it. I won’t give it to you even if you want it.”
Jiang Sui thought to herself, luckily she didn’t ask for it. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed if he didn’t give it.
Walking out of Sun’s yard, Jiang Shuisheng said with a smile: “That kid looks nothing like his father, he’s too naughty. We still have some new year’s goods left. Let’s go see the two Chi brothers.” He sighed and said, “It’s been more than a year since they moved out of the compound, and I don’t know if they are doing well or not.”
Jiang Sui resisted a little. She hadn’t seen Chi Yan and Chi Yiming for a long time, so she shook her head: “Dad, you go ahead, I’ll go home. It’s snowing, so hold an umbrella and walk slower.”
Jiang Shuisheng naturally wouldn’t force her and went alone.
When Jiang Shuisheng arrived at Plum Alley, the two Chi brothers were having a meal. It was too early and it was not dark yet. Jiang Shuisheng knocked on the door, and it was Chi Yiming who opened the door.
Chi Yiming said in surprise: “Uncle Jiang?”
“It’s me, I came to give you some New Year’s goods.”
Chi Yiming said, “Come in and sit down.”
Jiang Shuisheng saw their rental house for the first time. There were couplets and red lanterns posted everywhere outside the town. But their doors were bare and there was no festive atmosphere at all.
When he came in, he found that the house was very small. There was a table in the main room, a small kitchen, and two bedrooms in addition.
However, the things on the table were also very poor.
There was a box of cold dishes that were pretty good, and it could be seen that they bought them, while the other dishes were made by themselves. Jiang Sui had no mother, so Jiang Shuisheng felt particularly sorry for children without parents.
Chi Yan stood up and moved a stool for him: “Uncle Jiang, sit down.”
Jiang Shuisheng asked them about their situation, and before they had even talked a few words, his cell phone rang. The call was from Jiang Sui’s uncle, Jiang Shuixing. After hearing what the other party had to say, Jiang Shuisheng’s expression changed: “Okay, I’ll be right over.”
He hung up the phone and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he thought of Jiang Sui who was home alone on New Year’s Eve.
He turned around and hesitated for a moment: “Chi Yan, Uncle Jiang has a favor to ask you. Can you tell Sui Sui that her grandma has had a heart attack and ask her to stay at her uncle’s house for a few days?”
Chi Yan raised his head, and after a long while he said, “Okay.”
Jiang Shuisheng left in a hurry. The news that Jiang Sui’s Grandma might die made him confused.
Chi Yan stood at the door for a while, and Chi Yiming asked: “Brother, what’s wrong?”
Chi Yan said: “Uncle Jiang asked me to inform his daughter.”
Chi Yiming said: “Let me go, I will run over before it gets dark. Brother, don’t you still have to modify the car?”
Chi Yan was silent for a moment, then picked up the umbrella in the room: “I’m going, it’s what I promised. You go to bed early, it’s snowing outside, don’t run around.”
Chi Yiming nodded: “Okay, brother, you should also pay attention to safety.”
“Um.”
Chi Yan put on his windbreaker and walked towards the courtyard.
Another half year.
It was almost another year, and he knew that time was long. In the past six months, he had actually thought about what the little girl must have become. Was she very popular? Having a great time?
Later, he thought less about it. He had too much to learn.
Jiang Sui may just be the beauty in the mirror that you accidentally met in life. And she was still too young, only in the second grade of junior high school. He didn’t think about anything during this journey, he didn’t dare to think about anything, he was extremely calm, and he only focused on delivering a message on behalf of Uncle Jiang as soon as possible.
Chi Yan walked quickly and arrived at the door of Jiang’s house in about eighteen minutes.
He knocked on the door, and after a while the other person asked warily: “Who is it? Is it dad?”
The voice was soft and waxy, obviously crisp, but it was snowing outside, so it sounded a little breathy.
Chi Yan said calmly through the door, “No, I am Chi Yan. Your grandma had a heart attack. Uncle Jiang went to take care of your grandma. He asked you to go live with your uncle.”
The closed mahogany door was opened.
There was snow falling behind her, and a red plum blossom bloomed in the yard.
The girl, wearing a lace-up winter coat and cloak, hurriedly opened the door. She had grown taller again, a childish and beautiful life was always like this, and she had a new look after not seeing her for a long time.
Chi Yan’s eyes narrowed, and then he slowly looked away.
She looked up at him with an anxious tone: “Grandma is sick? Dad wants me to stay at my uncle’s house?”
Chi Yan’s eyes turned back to her, and after a long time he said in a low voice: “Well, he asked me to send you there.”
