Because it was not the last day of the May Day holiday, there was no traffic jam.
Except for two traffic accidents, the highway was pretty smooth along the way.
In the second half of the journey, because they didn't sleep well last night, Yu Jin and Jiang Muqing fell asleep after chatting for a while.
For those who don’t know, I thought they did something bad together last night.
Li Wei drove his car and talked on the phone with his colleagues. He seemed to be talking about work matters, but his voice was relatively low.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived safely at Jiang Muqing's community.
Zhang Huifang, who had received the news a long time ago, was already waiting at the gate of the community to help her daughter with her luggage.
In the car, Yu Jin and Jiang Muqing had also woken up for a while.
Opening the car door, Jiang Muqing came out. The hot sunlight was like a furnace, making people uncomfortable.
Summer has officially arrived in Jianghuai City.
"Mom, the sun is so bright, don't you know how to hold an umbrella?"
"fine."
Zhang Huifang smiled and said: "I came out on time, and I didn't stay in the sun for long."
Yu Jin also got out of the car and came to the back of the car to help carry out the suitcase.
He came to the two mothers and daughters and shouted to Zhang Huifang, "Hello, aunt."
"Hello, Yu Jin."
Zhang Huifang said: "Mu Qing has troubled you these past few days. Do you and your uncle want to come to my house to drink water before leaving?"
"No, I have to go home and clean up. I'm going to school in the evening."
"Okay, go back quickly."
"Goodbye, aunt." Yu Jin said before getting in the car.
Jiang Muqing said dissatisfiedly: "Yu Jin, when you say goodbye to my mother, why don't you say goodbye to me?"
"."Yu Jin.
"Yu Jin, please ignore her, she just doesn't have a good day."
Zhang Huifang waved her hand and said, "The sun is too strong. Close the windows and go back."
"Okay, Auntie, let's go."
After Yu Jin's car left, Zhang Huifang took her daughter and walked into the community.
"Are you having fun these days?"
"Fun."
"My grandma doesn't dislike you, right?"
"No."
"The old man likes me very much."
Jiang Muqing smiled happily and asked, "Where's dad, are you at home?"
"No, I went fishing."
Zhang Huifang said: "I know you are coming back today. I said I would get you fish to eat in the evening. I went out with someone early in the morning and you haven't come back yet."
"Hey, it looks like we need the Air Force again."
Zhang Huifang smiled and said: "It's not like you don't know your father's tricks. The Air Force cannot be the Air Force. The worst he can do is buy a fish from the market."
"makes sense."
While the mother and daughter were walking and chatting, Zhang Huifang would look at her daughter's walking posture from time to time.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Huifang's abnormality caught Jiang Muqing's attention. She looked at herself doubtfully: "Is there something on my clothes?"
"fine."
Zhang Huifang explained: "I just want to see if you are getting better."
"." Jiang Muqing.
How could I have changed so much in just two or three days!
After a while, Zhang Huifang got the answer she wanted through her daughter's walking posture.
Fortunately, during this trip, my daughter returned to Zhao intact and there were no problems.
In the past two days, every night when Jiang Yan was making a video call to his daughter, Yu Jin happened to be tutoring in her daughter's room.
Can you stop the couple from worrying?
There is tutoring in the video, but who knows if the tutoring is really happening live?
A man and a woman alone, hot-blooded young people living in the same room, and having a crush on each other, it's easy to get impulsive!
But now it seems that they are tutoring normally, and my husband and I are overthinking.
Zhang Huifang couldn't help but praise in her heart: Yu Jin is still reliable!
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain to her husband if something happened.
After all, I absolutely supported letting my daughter go out with Yu Jin this time.
Back home, Zhang Huifang brought the fruit she had prepared in front of Jiang Muqing and said, "You eat some fruit in the living room, watch TV and take a rest. I'll make food."
"good."
Jiang Muqing responded, picked up the fruit plate, and ate a piece of dragon fruit that her mother had inserted with a toothpick.
"Wow, Mom, the dragon fruit you bought is so sweet."
In the kitchen, Zhang Huifang smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll buy some next time."
"Thank you, mom."
After eating a few pieces of dragon fruit, Jiang Muqing remembered something.
I forgot to tell grandma that I was safe.
So she made a video call with the old man.
Soon, the call came through.
Jiang Muqing looked at the old man in the video and shouted, "Hey, grandma, we're home."
"so fast."
In the video, the old man is holding his mobile phone in one hand, sitting next to the fish pond, smiling and saying: "I am feeding the fish."
"Grandma, I forgot to tell you something."
"What's up?"
Jiang Muqing said: "I bought you a cat from an online pet store, called Tiao Tiao. I think it will be delivered to you today."
"cat?"
The old man asked doubtfully: "Why did you buy me a cat when you have nothing to do?"
"Grandma, this is called cat healing."
Jiang Muqing explained: "So I took the initiative and bought you one. Not only can it accompany you to bask in the sun in the yard every day, but it can also help you catch mice in the garden."
"Today's pet cats don't catch mice."
"Grandma, I bought a civet cat, which is very powerful."
"."
Compared with Jiang Muqing's home, Yu Jin looked much more deserted when she returned home.
His parents were working overtime at work, and he was at home alone.
After cleaning up, he picked up the phone and prepared to report to his grandma that he was safe, but he called twice in a row and failed to get through. The line was busy.
"Strange, who is grandma talking to on the phone?"
Yu Jin muttered, hung up the phone, and prepared to call again later.
He came to the room, spread out the test paper, and began to answer the questions.
After checking for a while, my grandma took the initiative to call.
"grandmother."
Yu Jin answered the phone and asked doubtfully: "Who were you calling just now? I called twice and the line was busy."
"I'm video chatting with Mu Qing."
The old man smiled and said, "She said she bought me a cat."
"cat?"
"yes."
The old man switched his perspective, pointed at a cat cage on the ground, and said, "Did you see it? It's this little tabby cat. It's still a cub. Its name is Tiao Tiao. He said he can accompany me to bask in the sun every day. , and can help me catch mice in the garden.”
"."
Yu Jin said awkwardly: "I'm sorry grandma, she doesn't know that you don't like pets."
"It's okay, she also thinks about me."
The old man smiled and helped Jiang Muqing and said, "That girl is probably afraid that I will be alone, so she wants to find me a partner to accompany me."
"Grandma, wait a minute. I'll call Jiang Muqing and ask her to find the store to return it."
"No."
The old man stopped him and said, "Just let it stay with me. I didn't like it before, but now I kind of want to raise such a little guy."
Yu Jin chatted with her grandma for a while, then continued to answer questions.
He was somewhat grateful to Jiang Muqing for the fact that grandma was still a little happy about Jiang Muqing's secret purchase of a cat.
Over the years, he has never thought about buying a pet to accompany the elderly.
Girls' minds are indeed more delicate than boys'.
When I get to school in the evening, I still have to thank the other person and say thank you.
In the garden, after the old man hung up the phone, he quickly called Jiang Muqing and told her that Yu Jin was at home alone and had no food to eat, so she should seize the opportunity to show off.
Jiang Muqing happily said thank you to her grandma for informing her.
At this time, Jiang Yan just came back from fishing outside, holding a crucian carp in his hand.
After he entered the house and saw his daughter, he smiled and said, "Are you back? Dad just caught a fish, and I asked your mother to get it for you."
Jiang Muqing's eyes lit up when she saw the fish in her father's hand, and she immediately stepped forward and snatched the crucian carp from Jiang Yan's hand.
"What are you doing???" Jiang Yan.
Jiang Muqing ignored her father's confused look and said to the kitchen: "Mom, I won't be eating at home today."
After saying that, she opened the door and ran out while carrying the fish.
"???" Jiang Yan was confused.
Zhang Huifang also walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, looked at the open door, and asked, "Where is my daughter?"
"how could I know."
Jiang Yan said speechlessly: "She just took the fish from my hand and ran away. I want to ask you what happened?"
"This kid."
Zhang Huifang thought about it for a moment, and there was no one except Yu Jin who could make her daughter so positive.
"I guess he's looking for Yu Jin again."
Jiang Yan asked doubtfully: "You just came back and you're looking for Yu Jin again? Besides, why is she looking for Yu Jin and bringing the fish with you?"
"I'm so happy. I'm probably planning to take your fish as a gift and have dinner at Yu Jin's house."
"!!!" Jiang Yan.
I spent a whole day fishing hard by the river and finally caught a big wild crucian carp. It was gone within three seconds of taking it home?
No, I can't survive this day.
You must practice trumpet yourself!
After leaving the house, Jiang Muqing wanted to take a taxi, but she didn't wait for a long time.
She had no choice but to take a motorcycle.
In Jianghuai City, motorcycle taxis are a relatively local form of transportation. Although illegal, they are relatively common, and the government turns a blind eye.
Jiang Muqing was holding the fish in one hand and the back seat of the motorcycle with the other as she shuttled through the traffic. The hot wind blew in her face and whistled in her ears.
After a while, we arrived at the gate of the community.
The guard, Uncle Li, looked at Jiang Muqing and smiled: "You're here again? And you're bringing fish with you?"
"Yes, Uncle Li."
Jiang Muqing replied: "This is the wild crucian carp my dad caught in the Yangtze River. I brought it to Yu Jin to try."
“This fish needs to be alive to be delicious.”
Uncle Li seemed to be very experienced. He said, "Unfortunately, it seems that Yu Jin's parents are not here today, so there is no one to do it, so I can only put it in the refrigerator."
"It's okay, Uncle Li, I can do it."
Jiang Muqing smiled and said: "My craftsmanship is quite good. When I come out later, I will bring a bowl for you to try."
"Then I take it seriously. It's not easy to eat fish from the Yangtze River these days."
As Uncle Li spoke, he opened the door, let Jiang Muqing in, and said, "Come up quickly."
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
As for the registration procedures for outsiders, they no longer apply to her.
Not to mention that she knows this child, Inspector Yu has already quietly greeted her. She doesn't need to register when she comes to see Yu Jin in the future. She is not an outsider.
Uncle Li naturally heard what Prosecutor Yu meant.
At home, Yu Jin had just finished writing a test paper when she heard a rapid knock on the door.
He stood up and walked out, opened the door, and saw Jiang Muqing, panting, holding a fish and a plastic bag of vegetables standing at the door, smiling at him.
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment and asked: "What are you doing???"
"Of course I'm here to find you."
Jiang Muqing smiled and asked, "Are uncle and aunt not at home?"
"Not here."
"You don't have anything to eat?"
"."Yu Jin.
"It doesn't matter, you still have me."
Jiang Muqing carried a fish, squeezed Yu Jin's body away, walked into the house on her own, then walked to the kitchen with ease and put the fish in the vegetable basin.
Yu Jin closed the door and came in and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm here to get you fish to eat."
Jiang Muqing made an excuse: "My parents are not at home either, and I haven't eaten either, so let's go to school together after eating."
"Didn't Auntie pick you up at the gate of the community?"
"Oh, after she picked me up, she went out again if she had something to do."
"."Yu Jin.
"Don't be stunned, come and kill the fish for me, and I'll prepare the side dishes."
Jiang Muqing urged: "This is a wild big crucian carp. Let me make you a crucian carp with tofu. It will taste very good." (For detailed instructions on the dish, see the Easter Egg Chapter, self-study)
"But I haven't killed a fish either."
Yu Jin came over and looked at the fish that was still alive, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You can search for instructional videos, I believe you can do it."
While Jiang Muqing was preparing the side dishes, Yu Jin watched the instructional video on killing fish on her mobile phone, and then started practicing with a knife.
After a lot of effort, he finally killed the fish.
"The fish is ready."
"Put it there."
Jiang Muqing continued to direct: "You can use the rice cooker to steam the rice now."
"How much rice? How much water?" Yu Jin had never done these things before, so she didn't understand at all.
"For the two of us, let's put two cups of rice in it. As for the ratio of water..."
Jiang Muqing said: "I'll teach you a trick, so you'll know how much to put in it in the future, that is, wash the rice clean, put it in the rice cooker, and put your hand on top of the rice. The water surface only needs to be just above your fingers.
The rice steamed in this way is more suitable, not too soft and not too hard. "
"oh."
Yu Jin followed the method taught by Jiang Muqing and did it again.
"Now, what else am I going to do?"
Jiang Muqing smiled and said: "No, you can go out and leave the rest to me."
"Do you know where these things in my house are? Do you want me to tell you again?"
"No, I know everything."
Jiang Muqing said casually: "I am more familiar with your family than my own."
"."Yu Jin.
He looked at Jiang Muqing skillfully holding various things in the kitchen, and it seemed that this was indeed the case
Even he himself didn't know where some things were placed.
But the problem is that this is the first time she has come to her home today.
He was a little confused, but it seemed that Jiang Muqing had told him the answer a long time ago.
It’s just that I don’t believe it.
"By the way, grandma's cat, thank you."
Yu Jin said: "I thought grandma never liked keeping pets."
"Has Grandma told you?"
Jiang Muqing was a little surprised. She pouted and said, "I also wanted to give you a surprise."
Yu Jin looked at Jiang Muqing who was busy cooking for her, and said something silently in her heart.
"It's a surprise, and I also like it."
