Jiang Xiangyang didn't take this matter seriously. As long as there are people around, there will be gossip and just live your own life.
What Jiang Xiangyang is worried about now is taking Jin Xiangyu home on the weekend. Originally, his father had said before that he would take Jin Xiangyu home for dinner. Jiang Xiangyang thought that since they had already met each other, having a meal was not a big deal.
But unexpectedly, when he and Jin Xiangyu were having dinner at home in the evening, his father called and said that his second uncle's birthday happened to be this weekend and he asked Jiang Xiangyang to take Jin Xiangyu back to his hometown over the weekend.
Take Jin Xiangyu back to his hometown? This incident put Jiang Xiangyang in a dilemma. First of all, Jin Xiangyu has a special status. There are so many relatives in his hometown, and there are many people with mixed opinions. Jiang Xiangyang is worried that Jin Xiangyu will feel uncomfortable staying there. Secondly, Jiang Xiangyang felt that his hometown was a special existence for him, and his relationship with Jin Xiangyu did not seem to be enough to bring him back to his hometown.
Jiang Xiangyang wanted to reject his father's proposal, but when his father called, Jin Xiangyu was beside him, and the man took the call and accepted.
Jiang Xiangyang's hometown is in the countryside. This time, Jiang Xiangyang's second uncle celebrated his 70th birthday. Although their children have bought houses in the city, the old couple still chose to stay in the countryside to guard their one-third of an acre of land. This time, Uncle Jiang Xiangyang celebrated his 70th birthday, and he did not choose to hold a banquet in a hotel or farm in the city. He just asked a few chefs in the village who usually handle banquets to cook it at home, hoping to make it more lively.
It is a custom to try food at banquets in rural areas, so Jiang Xiangyang's father and Wang Fang went back early, asking Jiang Xiangyang to take Jin Xiangyu back after the weekend break.
On Saturday morning, before Jiang Xiangyang got up, he heard Li Ke's voice outside the door. Jiang Xiangyang wondered, why did Li Ke come so early? By the time Jiang Xiangyang packed up and got up, Li Ke had disappeared. Jiang Xiangyang guessed that he was looking for Jin Xiangyu because of work matters, but he didn't ask anything.
After the two packed up, Jin Xiangyu drove off with Jiang Xiangyang.
Jin Xiangyu had been to Jiang Xiangyang's hometown once before, but it was at night and he was not familiar with the road to his hometown, so he followed Jiang Xiangyang's instructions along the way.
Halfway through, Jiang Xiangyang suddenly patted his head, turned sideways and looked at Jin Xiangyu, and said awkwardly: "I seem to have forgotten something?"
"What's going on?" Jin Xiangyu asked curiously.
"It's my second uncle's birthday. It's your first time there. We can't leave empty-handed." Jiang Xiangyang pursed his lips.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, I'm ready." Jin Xiangyu took Jiang Xiangyang's hand and put it to his mouth and kissed it.
"Ready? When did you prepare it?" Jiang Xiangyang looked at Jin Xiangyu with confusion.
"After hearing what your dad said yesterday, I arranged for Li Ke to prepare. Don't worry." Jin Xiangyu smiled.
It turned out that Li Ke came because of this incident in the morning... Jiang Xiangyang sighed inwardly. In the past, when any relative in the family had a birth or marriage, he always followed his father. It seemed that he did not need to prepare anything special. Now that I have Jin Xiangyu with me, the situation seems a little different, but with Jin Xiangyu here, I don't seem to have to worry about it.
"Are you familiar with this place?" Jiang Xiangyang joked as he passed a corner on the rural road.
"I may not have much impression in other places, but I have a deep memory here." This is the place where the car broke down when he and Gu Yizhi first came to Jiang Xiangyang's hometown to find her. Thinking of the situation at that time, Jin Xiangyu felt that his memory was still fresh. In the past, I had an obsession and ran over to her recklessly. Now that she is taking me home, this feeling is really different.
"Are you nervous?" Jiang Xiangyang asked softly as he looked at the increasingly familiar road.
"Are you talking about yourself or me?" Jin Xiangyu asked jokingly.
"What should I be nervous about?" Jiang Xiangyang muttered. I feel even more shy about being close to home. The way home is getting closer. I wonder what everyone will do when they see Jin Xiangyu?
Jin Xiangyu smiled and said nothing, but gently squeezed Jiang Xiangyang's palm.
By the time Jiang Xiangyang and Jin Xiangyu arrived at Jiang Xiangyang's second uncle's house, the guests had almost arrived.
Jiang Xiangyang's second uncle passed away today, and the guests who came were all neighbors. Although Jiang Xiangyang has been working outside after graduating from university, and his family later bought a house in Yunchuan County, he returns to his hometown less frequently. But Jiang Xiangyang spent a lot of time here when he was a child, and these people watched Jiang Xiangyang grow up.
At this moment, watching Jiang Xiangyang get out of the car with a strange man, many people looked at him secretly.
Noticing the curious eyes of everyone, Jiang Xiangyang was thinking about how to introduce Jin Xiangyu to everyone naturally when he heard a voice of surprise.
"Xiang Yang, Xiao Jin, are you back?" Father Jiang shouted enthusiastically.
"Uncle, we are here. Where is the second uncle? I'll say hello first." Jin Xiangyu turned around and took out the cake he bought from the trunk of the car.
Father Jiang looked at Jin Xiangyu's movements and felt happy. Yes, this little Jin seemed to be a child who knew etiquette. Father Jiang still said politely: "You child, you are here as soon as you come. What gifts do you bring? Come on, I will take you to see your second uncle."
Jiang Xiangyang's father took Jin Xiangyu and Jiang Xiangyang into the house. Jiang Xiangyang's uncles and uncles were also there. Jiang's father happily introduced: "Second brother, this is Xiangyang's boyfriend Xiao Jin. Come back with Xiangyang to wish you a happy birthday."
Jin Xiangyu looked at the old man sitting in the middle of the room and said respectfully: "Second uncle, I am Xiangyang's boyfriend Jin Xiangyu. I wish you happiness like the East Sea and longevity as long as the southern mountains." Then he smiled politely at everyone standing around the second uncle. laughed.
"Okay, okay, Xiangyang is finally willing to bring his boyfriend back." Jiang Xiangyang's second uncle nodded happily.
Jiang Xiangyang's cousin Jiang Mingyong looked at the man greeting everyone and asked quietly: "Xiang Yang, why do I feel so familiar with your boyfriend? Has he been to our house before during the Chinese New Year?"
Jiang Xiangyang smiled awkwardly, but he didn't expect his cousin to have such a good memory.
"I just said, why is a grown man like him coming to our house during the Chinese New Year? It turns out he is here specifically to see you." Jiang Mingyong had a clear expression on his face.
Jiang Xiangyang looked at the man who was greeting everyone behind his father, and looked at Jin Xiangyu's warm appearance in front of everyone, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The last time I went back to my hometown, I and Jin Xiangyu could only be called friends. I was still thinking about how to pay New Year's greetings to Shen Yunfei. I didn't expect that when I came back this time, I and Jin Xiangyu would be together.
