Chapter 159
Jiang Cheng got out of the car and looked at the old alley as if he had passed away. It was still the scene in his memory, without any change.
The wall is so old that most of it has peeled off, and a ditch with purple moss is lying beside the path. Due to a winter rain a few days ago, the gray wall has been eroded a bit, and some stones have been paved on the narrow road. , in order to avoid slipping.
In the alley, there were two houses with their doors open, and several women were sitting around talking about the family's problems. They were still working, probably knitting thick sweaters for their family members.
The process of the city seems to be terminated here. It is difficult to see these things in a metropolis. There are hundreds of residents in a building, only a few meters away, but the hearts are separated by more than a thousand feet.
Jiang Cheng looked at this familiar scene with emotion, and lowered his head to hold Luo Xiaoli's hand. The two had met in this alley. At that time, there was a fallen electric pole lying against the wall, but it has been removed now.
When Luo Xiaoli was three years old, she squatted on a telegraph pole with tears streaming down her face until she saw the bewitching butterfly in Jiang Cheng's hand.
"Let's go in."
"Uh-huh."
The two stepped inside immediately. Jiang Cheng was wearing a mask and a very ordinary down jacket, with his bangs lazily resting on his forehead.
Before arriving at the door of Jiang Cheng's house, his house is at the innermost place, so he must first pass those chattering women.
He noticed that Luo Xiaoli was a little nervous, so he pinched her fingers lightly to convey the temperature.
The two tacitly understood each other's feelings, but they both understood each other's mind.
After all, it was time to take this step. In the blink of an eye, the two had been in love for four or five months. He was sure that Luo Xiaoli would be the one who could spend the rest of his life with him in the future. He could have a scientific research career and a lover at this age , Jiang Cheng often feels happy.
The women who were talking noticed a couple of young men coming over, and they all turned their heads to look at them. They didn't recognize who it was at first, and exchanged whispers until Jiang Cheng approached.
He politely called Aunt, aunt, these are the names of the elders in the neighborhood.
At first, the women wondered whose family it was, until Jiang Cheng took off the mask, and they froze on the spot for a moment.
There was no sound in the alley.
"Little...Jiang", the eloquent Aunt usually doesn't know what to call him, because Jiang Cheng is not only a child of the neighbor Lao Jiang's family, but also a well-known scientific research leader in China. President of the two houses.
His status and status are already different, and he has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and some people can't even imagine it in their dreams.
Called Xiaojiang, they were even afraid of being offended.
But where did Jiang Cheng put on a high air, he politely exchanged greetings, and after greeting everyone, he said, "I'm going home to see my parents, let's go in first."
"Okay." The neighbor Aunt was taken aback for a second, and then replied.
When he took Luo Xiaoli and disappeared into the innermost part of the alley, these people came to their senses and immediately started a heated discussion.
Most of the words are praises, saying that Lanjing can also have such a celebrity, and he is still a child in his own alley. There is a feeling of prosperity.
Afterwards, some people began to wonder, what does it mean that Jiang Cheng took the girl home?
After thinking for a few seconds, they immediately realized a fact.
The child of Lao Jiang's family should be a lover, should he bring him home to meet his parents?
These neighbors have all met Luo Xiaoli, but that was more than ten years ago, and she was wearing a mask just now, so naturally she couldn't recognize her. They just thought in their hearts, why is this girl who walked with Jiang Cheng so amazing?
Because Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had already prepared a table of dishes because they called in advance, the welcome was naturally extremely warm. What they didn't know was that Jiang Cheng had some things to discuss besides going home to visit them.
The concept of father and mother is naturally different.
When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Cheng, she naturally asked for warmth, asking what he was up to a few days ago, and she felt a little distressed when she learned that her son had gone to the Northwest Gobi Desert for two months. Everyone knew that the conditions there were not very good, and the wind and sand were terrifying. .
Her observations are very subtle, and she feels that although Jiang Cheng has not gained weight, he has become more mature, and his gestures unconsciously reveal some superior temperament.
This kind of temperament is mysterious and mysterious. People like Zhong Lao have been in high positions all the year round, and they can be seen as a big boss level figure unconsciously by their speech and behavior.
My father is more concerned about Jiang Cheng's career, whether he has read more recently, even if he is in a high position, he must not be arrogant or impetuous, and he must be humble even if he has achieved success.
When dealing with subordinates and superiors, one must learn to behave in the world. Jiang Cheng listened and responded without refuting.
It seems that he has never considered the issue of being a human being. Jiang Cheng thought about it for a while, it seems that he has reached the height of the president of the two institutes, and there is no need to cater to others, all he needs is his true temperament.
Everyone in the Institute of Biotechnology and the Institute of Energy knows that Dean Jiang is a relatively rigorous person, and he has never flattered or flattered him. They know that it is useless, so it is better to do things well in a down-to-earth manner.
Jiang Cheng is such a person in such an ideal state. He insists on being himself, which is good, because he has the ability to make others respect him.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother seem to be more concerned about Luo Xiaoli's college life.
"Why do you want to pass the exam in Lanjing? I heard from my sister that Xiao Li's academic performance is quite good."
"No, that's what volunteering is all about. I really like this place." While talking, Luo Xiaoli glanced at Jiang Cheng, a little shy, and didn't say anything clearly.
Jiang Cheng turned his head away, a little embarrassed, of course he knew that Luo Xiaoli applied for Lanjing University of Science and Technology for himself.
Jiang's father didn't notice Xiaoli's subtle eyes, but Jiang's mother noticed it sensitively.
Her eyes lingered between the two, thinking for a few seconds, and then she showed a subtle smile.
The time came to eleven o'clock, and the time passed quickly while talking, Jiang Ma went to serve out the boiled soup, and let the two of them watch TV in the living room.
Father Jiang wanted to say a few more words to his son, when suddenly a voice came from the kitchen, "Lao Jiang, come and help me." He replied helplessly, got up and walked over.
After both of them left the living room, Luo Xiaoli let out a long sigh of relief. She always felt nervous, and she was afraid to speak just now.
She glanced at Jiang Cheng resentfully, walked over and sat beside him, put her hand on his waist and twisted it lightly.
Jiang Cheng felt the pain, almost cried out, and pursed his lips. He understood the other party's mood, and he also knew why Xiaoli was nervous.
"When are you going to say it?"
"After dinner."
"it is good."
The two whispered to each other, their hands were tightly held together, and their ears were still alert to the sound of footsteps in the kitchen.
Luo Xiaoli didn't know why, she was about to talk about it, but she had a feeling of falling in love without telling her parents...
It may be that you have never experienced it, and many people have had this feeling.
However, what Jiang Cheng didn't know was that in the kitchen.
Jiang Ma pulled Lao Jiang over and whispered in his ear, "There are signs."
Lao Jiang asked with a cute face, "What are the signs?"
