Peach Branch Bubbles

Everything seems to be the same as before.

His breath, his taste, his body temperature.

They kissed without any **** in the childhood fortress full of memories.

When Jiang Qihuai straightened up, Tao Zhi's eyes were a little distracted. She panted and sat on the desk next to her, resting her back against the wall in front of the desk for a while.

The bedroom was quiet. She licked her numb lips, turned to look at the photo on the wall, and curiously asked, "When did you take this photo?"

"I didn't shoot it." Jiang Qihuai said.

Tao Zhi: "Huh?"

Jiang Qihuai's words are concise and concise: "Li Shuangjiang."

Tao Zhi said "Ah" again.

This picture was indeed taken from in front of her, with Jiang Qihuai sitting in the back, and only the back of her head can be photographed to take pictures.

"When did Li Shuangjiang take the photo?" Tao Zhi suspiciously, "What is he doing when he is all right to take my photo?"

Jiang Hesheng’s incident just happened, and it left her with a little psychological shadow. As she said, she suddenly thought of something, and horrified: "He didn't have a crush on me before, right?"

"..."

Jiang Qihuai's eyelids twitched, her fingers itchy again, and he wanted to knock her on the head.

Thinking of this, he just did it.

Tao Zhi's forehead was knocked on by him, and he yelled, covering his head and raising his head, looking at him angrily: "What are you knocking on me again!"

"I hit moles." Jiang Qihuai said blankly.

Tao Zhi narrowed his eyes: "Student Jiang, you don't want a girlfriend anymore, do you."

Jiang Qihuai was silent, choosing between admitting his careful thinking and making Tao Zhi misunderstand that Li Shuangjiang had a crush on her, and found that the latter was more uncomfortable.

He paused, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "I asked him to shoot."

Tao Zhi blinked, "When is it?"

"When training."

Tao Zhi recalled for a while, remembering that he participated in the winter camp of the math Olympiad in the second year of high school.

She smiled and stretched out: "Oh, that's when I confessed to you."

"So you liked me at that time?" Tao Zhi said happily, "Some people pretend to be innocent, but actually let their classmates secretly take pictures of me. "

Jiang Qihuai looked at her triumphantly without making a sound.

"It seems that the photos of your girlfriend that I sent you before are not enough," Tao Zhi sat on the table, raised his chin slightly, raised his hand and grabbed a handful of hair to shape it. "Come on."

Jiang Qihuai raised his eyebrows in doubt.

"Pull out your phone and turn on the camera," Tao Zhi said reservedly, "I will satisfy you today and let you take enough pictures."

"..."

Because it was still early, the two of them stayed in the old house for a while in no hurry.

Tao Zhi was like a kid who just got a new toy. He was excited about it. After watching it for a while, he went to the bathroom and brought a small basin to clean the table, and then ran to pour a lot of green dills in front of the balcony window in the living room. water.

She turned left and right like a small spinning top, Jiang Qihuai didn't stop, just leaning against the wall and looking at her.

Tao Zhi used a small water cup to hold water and came back to water the flowers. She ran back and forth several times, and finally reacted with hindsight. She walked over with the water cup and said with some worry: "Jiang Qihuai, am I watering the flowers? Too much water? Too much water on these flowers, will the roots rot?"

"No," Jiang Qihuai said lazily, "They like water."

Tao Zhi still frowned, pointing to a cactus lying on the floor next to the window, and said, "I forgot it when I just watered it. I watered it all together. Do I need to change the soil."

"Watering you," Jiang Qihuai said while watching her tossing happily, without blinking, "you treat it as an aquatic cactus."

Tao Zhi gave him a speechless look, then ran to the cactus by the window and squatted down to change soil.

When she finally finished her work and replaced it with new dry and fluffy soil, it was almost ten o'clock.

Jiang Qihuai swept the changed moist soil into the bag: "Occasionally, it's okay to pour a little more water. Just don't pour it again afterwards."

Tao Zhi's arms were raised long, his hands were dirty with soil, and there was a small black mud on the tip of his nose, looking embarrassed and cute.

"I want to make everything better as much as possible," she said seriously, squatting on the ground, looking up at him, "here is also very important to me."

I have witnessed my timidity here, and I have also witnessed my loneliness.

It's also the place where I accidentally discovered a small crack in your mask when I was racking my brains to walk into your world, and then let the light in.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Jiang Qihuai sent Tao Zhi home. She was busy all day. After the excitement passed, she was so tired that she almost couldn't open her eyes.

After taking a quick battle bath, he fell asleep in bed for almost a few seconds, and he didn't even have time to read the information about Jiang Qihuai's home.

The next week, she sent the filmed back cover to "SINGO" and received a series of rainbow farts from his elder and the editorial department, Tao Zhitong accepted it frankly.

The deputy editor sent a WeChat message to her while crying, crying sincerely and sincerely that she had saved the life of the editorial department, saying that it was the latest March issue with the fastest schedule since she joined.

As the Chinese New Year approached, almost all the people in the studio were slacking off. Xu Suinian was not a local. He planned to return to his hometown early this year. Before leaving, he explained to Tao Zhi about the partner and the photo exhibition at the beginning of the year. Qihuai's feelings progressed.

At the end of his question, Tao Zhi was really intolerable. He dragged his suitcase with one hand and pushed him out with the other: "Don't ask questions here like a **** honey, can you ask me? Do I have to tell you about his family for the past three generations? Let’s go quickly, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to catch the plane?”

She reminded Xu Suinian of this. He was pushed by him while walking outside and asked, "What you said makes sense, so what does his grandfather do?"

Tao Zhi smiled and pushed him out of the studio door, and waved at him through the glass: "See you next year!"

This year passed a bit late, until mid-to-late February, New Year's Eve is approaching.

Jiang Qihuai didn't take a day off until New Year's Eve. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, he picked her up at Tao Zhi's house, and the two went back to Tao's old house together.

Tao Xiuping gave the aunt at home a holiday to go home early for the New Year, so the New Year’s Eve dinner and dumplings could only be solved by himself. When Tao Zhi and Jiang Qihuai came, Tao Xiuping stayed asleep until noon, who just woke up in a daze, Ji Fanjin. Kitchen, prepare New Year's Eve dinner.

He bought a bunch of ingredients early in the morning. He was in charge of hard vegetables. Ji Fan handled the fresh food. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Ji Fan wearing aprons and gloves, chasing crabs, chickens, and dogs that crawled all over the floor. Grasp.

Six or seven crabs crossed the kitchen door alive and kickingly, crossing the restaurant and crawling to the entrance of the hallway. Their sharp claws pierced Jiang Qihuai's New Year goods and tonics and climbed up.

Jiang Qihuai put the thing on the ground, grabbed the crab butt, walked to the kitchen and threw it into the bucket: "I'll do it."

Tao Zhi watched in shock as Ji Fan chased a few crabs all over the house like playing a drama: "What are you doing to make them run clean?"

"I forgot to cover the lid when I got off the steamer," Ji Fan said. "Who the **** knows that they can turn out such a tall steamer?"

As he talked, he threw the last crab into the bucket, Jiang Qihuai took the bucket to the kitchen to rinse, and then put it in the pot again.

"I suddenly found that Jiang Qihuai is still useful." Ji Fan said while typing on his mobile phone without looking up.

Tao Zhi sneered: "It's much more useful than you anyway." She turned her head and glanced at his phone screen, "Who do you chat with?"

As soon as she glanced over, Ji Fan "clicked" to lock the screen, turned her head and said dissatisfiedly, "Can I still have some personal space?"

He moved quickly, but Tao Zhi still saw the cat head emoji that flashed on his phone screen.

"Ask a question." She raised her hand with a serious face.

Ji Fan lowered his head to look at the phone again: "Say."

Tao Zhi: "When are you going to chase our lovely Lingling?"

"I'm chasing..." Ji Fan's expression was dull for two seconds, then changed from dullness to shock, and finally became irritable inexplicably.

He stepped back abruptly, flushed and said, "When did I say I want to chase her?!"

"Then what are you doing here day after day?" Tao Zhi lifted his chin toward his mobile phone, "Talking and having fun? Are you not going to be responsible?"

Ji Fan blushed and stared at her in silence for a long time, his shoulders collapsed, and he suddenly deflated and said, "If I can be useful for chasing, what else can I say, and she doesn't like me."

"She said before, she likes to be gentle." He scratched his hair with an annoyed look, pointed to himself and asked, "Look at me, do you have a slight touch with the word gentle."

Tao Zhi looked at him up and down seriously, nodded, and agreed: "You can't see the gentleness, but it's quite oily."

"Fuck me?" Ji Fan scratched his hair again. "I just washed my hair this morning."

"It's not that your hair is oily," Tao Zhi said sincerely, "As long as you change your tattered clothes, don't look like a big butterfly with a little color, you won't be able to graduate from college. People still look down on you."

"You know what fashion is like." Ji Fan refused.

Tao Zhi: "You know a fart woman."

Ji Fan felt that his aesthetics had been insulted. He didn't want to talk to Tao Zhi anymore, and would rather stay in the same kitchen with the annoying Jiang Qihuai to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Tao Zhi was sitting on the sofa alone, playing with his mobile phone and eating fruit. He felt boring, and ran to the kitchen to watch the men busy.

It was the first time Tao Xiuping saw Jiang Qihuai in the kitchen. He could still cook in some accidents. After the accident, he was relieved to let him take the lead.

Tao Zhi ran to him with a grape in his mouth, watched him orderly put all kinds of washed and cut food into the pot, and said vaguely: "How do I feel that I have lied to a free cook by bringing you back for the New Year."

"It's not free," Jiang Qihuai said calmly, "remember to pay."

Tao Zhi lost the grape skin: "Why do you recognize the money like this now?"

"After all, there is a lack of money," Jiang Qihuai said as he lifted the lid of the casserole and poked the beef inside with his chopsticks, "I still owe my girlfriend a palace."

Tao Zhi glanced sideways. On the other side of the kitchen, Tao Xiuping was leaning against Nakajima and was instructing Ji Fan to wash the vegetables, not paying attention to the movement here.

"The girlfriend didn't say anything, you don't need a palace." Tao Zhi whispered.

Jiang Qihuai turned his head and glanced at her.

"How can I propose to the princess without a palace?" He said unhurriedly.

Tao Zhi almost choked on the grapes he had just swallowed.

She stared at him blankly, and then her ears slowly turned red.

Tao Zhi raised his hand and pinched some of his hot ears, lowered his head, and muttered, "I'm going to watch TV."

Then stepped out of the kitchen.

Jiang Qihuai looked back at her hurriedly.

Fled.

He lowered his head and laughed.

This New Year's Eve dinner was done in a decent manner. Jiang Qihuai was in charge, Ji Fan was in charge, Tao Xiuping was happy, and he stood beside him and acted as his commander-in-chief.

After the meal, a few people sat on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Most of the time, it was Jiang Qihuai and Tao Xiuping who quarreled loudly while listening to Tao Zhi and Ji Fan nearby.

Tao Xiuping turned his head and looked at Jiang Qihuai, "Are these two noisy?"

Jiang Qihuai: "No."

"These two ancestors have always been like this. Although it is a bit annoying at times, they are also lively," Tao Xiuping said in a flat tone, "you are used to it."

Jiang Qihuai smiled and said in a low voice, "This is pretty good."

This was probably the New Year's Eve that he had the most New Year's Eve.

In the warm and bright living room, the two people quarrel like children, and the lively New Year’s Eve dinner, Tao Zhi clumsily learns to make dumplings with his hands full of flour, but all the dumplings leaked when they were cooking, and they became a pot of broth. Noodles.

He looked at the little girl who hit back at the past with a bulging mouth and an unhappy face after being ridiculed by Ji Fan's mercilessly, his calm gaze eased unconsciously.

This is probably the best situation he has always been looking forward to.

There can be no better than this.

After the New Year, Jiang Qihuai has a week of holidays.

Tao Zhiyi was free for the entire February. Jiang Qihuai rarely spent a few days with her at home. Most of the time, they were relatively quiet. The two slept on the sofa and did their own things, until the eighth day of the eighth day of the eighth day of formal work.

Years later, when he was not so busy, Tao Zhi dragged him to the old house in the small alley to clean up. She replaced some of the appliances that were really too old and not very useful, and squatted in front of the small green radish plant. Watch them and water them.

On the Lantern Festival, Tao Zhi and Jiang Qihuai got up early and drove to a cemetery in the suburbs.

The genius was bright in the early morning in the middle of winter. Tao Zhi followed Jiang Qihuai on the blue-gray slate steps until he reached Jiang Qinghe's tomb.

There was snow last night, and a thin layer of snow fell in front of the old man’s tombstone. Jiang raised his hand and gently moved away the snow. Tao Zhi walked over and squatted down, raising his hand and gently rubbing it with his fingertips. Wipe the off-white photo.

Tao Zhi squatted, "Grandpa Jiang, Ahuai and I are coming to see you."

"I never knew that you live here. I have eaten so many meals before, but I haven't visited you for so many years," she said softly, "Ahuai is doing very well now. Developed into a particularly good person, you can already have a good rest. Stop by when nothing happens to chat with my mother, she knows everything, and she can play chess with you."

After many years, Grandpa Jiang looked at her kindly again.

He seemed to be smiling and telling her something.

Tao Zhi laughed and his eyes curled slightly: "You have worked so hard for so many years. From now on, it is my turn to take your shift. Don't worry, I will take care of him and stay with him."

The cemetery was solemn and quiet, Tao Zhi waited a while after speaking, then turned his head.

Jiang Qihuai stood behind her, without speaking, Tao Zhi raised his face, blinked his eyes and said, "Grandpa Jiang said that he will leave you to me. If you bully me, let me beat you."

Jiang Qihuai chuckled and stretched out his hand to her: "Yeah."

Tao Zhi stood up with his hands.

The two put down the bouquet, accompanied the old man for a while, and continued to walk forward.

Ji Jin's tomb is not far ahead.

Every time Tao Zhi came with Ji Fan, the two would be so silent that they didn't want to expose their hypocritical emotions to each other, but as long as they came alone, Ji Fan would cry and Tao Zhi would talk a lot with Ji Jin.

I would tell her what happened in school, what new friends I made, and a delicious hot pot. Recently, I won a small prize for a new work abroad.

I would say that Lao Tao had been very silent before, but recently he slowly started to revert back to that lively old man, and also fell in love with watching the love variety show, saying that Ji Fan had a crush on a girl for many years, but he never dared to chase him.

I will also tell her that I no longer blame you for the things when I was a child. Although as the one who was not favored, your choice back then still made me a little sad, but I don't blame you.

I will be sad, but I will not blame you.

Tao Zhi did get closer to her mother when she was young, but the love and care Tao Xiuping gave her had a more profound impact on her. The existence of regret or resentment for Ji Jin is like wiping out and denying the love his father has given her for so many years.

Sometimes, she would even be very thankful for Ji Jin's choice.

Let Tao Xiuping be able to watch her grow up while she accompanies him to grow old.

Tao Zhi stood in front of Ji Jin's tombstone for a long time. He turned his head and gently tugged Jiang Qihuai's finger until he had finished saying the last thing he wanted to say: "Let's go, it's so cold and cold."

Jiang Qihuai glanced at her red eye circles, held her hand with his backhand, and put it into his coat pocket.

Tao Zhi's cold fingers retracted into his palm, being warmed a little bit, his mood became clear, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't talked about Jiang Huai with Ji Jin.

She turned her head and said, "I just forgot to mention you to my mother."

Jiang Qihuai looked calm and didn't care too much: "It's okay, I just told auntie."

Tao Zhi tilted his head and said with a smile, "Did you chat with her?"

"Um."

"Then what did you talk to her?" she curiously asked.

Jiang Qihuai said nothing.

He took her by the hand and walked forward on the stone road covered with thin snow. Tao Zhi heard him say slowly, "I said, I have a girl who wants to marry."

Tao Zhi was stunned and looked at him.

Jiang Qihuai squeezed her finger and lowered her eyes: "I don't know if she can recognize me as a son-in-law."

His expression was very pale, his eyebrows were as cold as icy, but his eyes softened at this moment: "Thank you very much, too, for bringing my branches to this world."

And so lucky to let him meet.

From then on, he will guard her forever.

She laughed when she was happy, and cried when she was sad.

Spend every day in the future with her, crossing the mountains, crossing the ravines, and walking with each other to illuminate the future.
