I am a Good Man

For breakfast, I ate egg pancakes. Ji Mu's craftsmanship is very good. The fried pancakes are crispy and glutinous, which greatly increases the appetite.

Today happens to be going to the market once a week. On this day, there will be a lot of small vendors in the market, and the price will be cheaper than before. It is when the New Year’s goods are being stored, Ji Yang is also going to take Tang Xuan to the city. One stroll.

Before the two left, Mother Ji took out a pair of gloves that she had knitted and gave it to Tang Xuan, "Bring it quickly, it's cold outside and the wind is strong."

"Thank you, Auntie." Tang Xuan took it, and her heart suddenly warmed.

"When it’s cold, wear a little more. Wear it for a few more days. Don’t catch a cold. I'd rather be hot than cold. I have suffered many crimes for many years?" Ji Mu started thinking about it, and stepped forward to help her put her hat on again. Pulling it down, he looked at Ji Yang and told him, "You will take Xuanxuan to buy earmuffs, the thick ones, otherwise your ears will be red."

"Mom, you have said it many times, I know." Ji Yang took Tang Xuan's hand, "we'll go first."

"Hey, Mom hasn't given you any money yet." Ji Mu was about to take out her pockets as she said, Tang Xuan stopped her, "We have."

"There are also towels. Buy one to wrap around. Mom won't be in a hurry to knit." Ji Mu said and made a wrap around motion.

"I know, mom." Ji Yang was helpless, and was about to leave after leaving a sentence.

Tang Xuan looked back at Ji Mu several times, feeling a little bit in her heart.

Mother's nagging, she has heard many people say, but she has not enjoyed it, because her mother passed away very early.

She didn't even know what she looked like, and her grandmother just said that their sisters looked like her mother before she was alive.

In the city.

Maybe it's the Chinese New Year, there are more pedestrians on the road, and cars are coming and going, which seems a bit crowded.

Even in the most central places, the floors are not high, and most of them are small restaurants.

"This is too far away from the provincial capital. It will not be able to develop for a long time. The whole city is not as developed as a small county, and the population is also losing. There is only one movie theater. Would you like to see it later?" As she walked on the road, she looked sideways.

Tang Xuan was holding a cup of hot milk tea to warm her hands, and shook her head, "No, there are no good movies recently."

Underdeveloped economy, consumption is naturally low. Milk tea is only five yuan a cup. I accidentally saw the sale price of the real estate. I was surprised, "Three thousand two fine decorations?"

"Jane decorate it." He forgot to go and said casually.

"So cheap?" Tang Xuan sipped the milk tea.

"Here, wages under 2,000 without board and lodging are too common. If you think so, it won't be cheap." Ji Yang returned her.

In all fairness, the Ji family's family conditions are considered good. If Ji's father hadn't had an accident, it would be considered a semi-well-off family. After all, it could build a second floor. Even in today's society, there are many people living in earthenware houses.

Tang Xuan hadn't seen the world before. When she was in college, she went to the mountainous area to teach, and there were too many people with difficult conditions.

A few thousand yuan in a family's annual income is not less than a zero.

Seeing her silence, Ji Yang looked at her and unconsciously lowered his eyes, "Do you think the development here is too backward? My family is unable to provide us with good conditions, I am sorry."

"No, uncles and aunts have worked very hard. They asked you to go out here. We will also work hard in the future so that they can live a good old age." She looked at him, her beautiful eyes were clear and bright, and the corners of her mouth were still glowing. Laugh, with encouragement.

Ji Yang held her hand tightly, and the curvature of her thin lips couldn't help but rise, "Let's go, take you to see the heater, I'm afraid you will be too cold to sleep tonight."

When the words fell, she took her to the front mall.

He took her to a larger electrical appliance store, where most household appliances were available, but there were fewer people inside.

As soon as the two entered, a shopping guide came to receive them, "What do you need to buy? You can take a look."

"Are there heaters?" Ji Yang said.

"Yes, it's all here." The shopping guide pointed a direction, led the way, and then began to introduce.

Tang Xuan listened carefully. She wanted to buy a better performance for the two elders of the Ji family, although Ji Yang said they might be willing to use it.

Halfway through, Ji Yang's phone rang, and he went outside to answer the phone.

"Okay, go back by yourself, mom will not be free for a while."

"Mom still has to go to work. If you're hungry, go to your grandma to eat."

...

A woman walked over with a phone. She was wearing work clothes, her yellowish curly hair was not tied up, her face was heavily makeup, she kept talking with her head down, and her tone was a bit irritable and resisted.

"Well, let me have a look at the planning plan. I don't have time for now. You can send it to my mailbox first." Ji Yang put his hand in his pocket and turned around as he said.

The woman walked with her head down, and was responding to the news when the two nearly collided.

"I'm sorry." Ji Yang hung up the phone, took a step back quickly, apologized politely, and felt a little offensive in his behavior.

Hearing this, Xu Lanxin looked up, and the first glance he saw him was a bright eye. He was tall and well dressed, and his temperament was very different, and he felt a little "attractive".

"It's okay." She softened her voice and was shy. After looking at him for a few times, a figure popped up in her mind, and she was not sure, "Ji Yang?"

No matter how great the changes were, the outline of the facial features were there, she heard that he seemed to be back.

"Are you?" Ji Yang looked confused.

In fact, he knew who she was.

Xu Lanxin was the person he talked about in junior high school. First love is always beautiful. Later, the other party and the male gangsters in the society got together. He got married right after graduating from junior high school. He was hit hard, and then he was addicted to studying.

At that time, she was just good at playing, and he was fooled by her like an honest stunned boy, but he was furious, and eventually he became a scumbag.

He also came back this year in his previous life, and occasionally, the two of them were still married. She was still married. She only felt stimulated and satisfied. Both of them were similar scum, and the other party was even worse. Walking among the men on the ground floor is nothing but fun.

She also cheated a lot of money from him.

"Xu Lanxin, have you changed like this now?" She smiled, her tone was warm, and there were small fine lines in the corners of her eyes that could not be concealed by foundation.

Years are a killer knife.

"What's wrong with me?" Ji Yang pretended to be puzzled. "Sorry, I didn't recognize it for a while, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been more than ten years." Xu Lanxin smiled and greeted, "Are you back? It's not easy to see you."

"Come back for the New Year." Ji Yang nodded, facing her enthusiasm in a polite manner.

As long as there is no meaning, it is equivalent to not giving a chance.

Besides, Xu Lanxin gave birth to two children. Before a goddess, he is now out of shape. He used to be fat, and the two are about the same. Now he can't swallow anyhow.

"All of you who are studying have gone outside to make a lot of money. Well, let's make a little money and live a small life here." Xu Lanxin sighed as she spoke, feeling helpless.

"I didn't have a hard time." Ji Yang denied.

In fact, junior high school is already a watershed, especially in such a poor city, it is not a good thing for a girl to open up and dress up in advance. It is not a good thing for a girl to be tempted by a boy.

Dropping out of school and marrying a child early, and then being forced to run a family or seek a life, some misfortunes accompanied him for a lifetime, and he was alive and unconscious.

"Are you married? How old are you in your twenties?" Xu Lanxin changed the subject and asked.

"Soon."

"Who do you want to marry? Remember to ask me to have a wedding wine." She did not change her face, and continued to tease him, seizing the opportunity to chat.

Ji Yang: "Maybe you don't have a banquet here, but it will be done in the provincial capital. My girlfriend is from another province."

"Oh..." Xu Lanxin was about to start teasing him when Tang Xuan's voice came from inside, "Ji Yang, come in and take a look at this."

"Here." Ji Yang smiled apologetically.

"I work here, the buyer calls me, it will definitely be cheaper for you." Xu Lanxin signed a ticket.

"Thank you." He said and walked towards Tang Xuan.

Xu Lanxin also followed, mainly to see what his girlfriend looks like, and finally met Tang Xuan.

The other party was bending slightly to look at the heater on the ground, wearing a white down jacket, a scarf, and an off-white hat.

Turning his head, the first impression he gives is that the facial features are beautiful, the temperament is gentle, and it is incompatible with the environment here.

As the saying goes, it’s like a city dweller.

And she is like a city servant woman who has seen through the vicissitudes of life.

"This is good, just this." He didn't think too much, and agreed to speak.

"Look at this again and compare it." Tang Xuan naturally took his arm and pulled him slightly to the side.

"It's still better, it's more resistant to dirt, the design is simpler and more generous, and it's lighter. We sell very well here." Xu Lanxin stepped forward and introduced with a smile.

"My junior high school classmate." Ji Yang said to Tang Xuan, and then looked at Xu Lanxin, "My fiancee Tang Xuan."

Tang Xuan nodded at her, greeted her with a smile, and behaved generously.

"Congratulations." Xu Lanxin said to Ji Yang, "The fiancee is very beautiful."

Living conditions are good, and the diamond rings on his hands are so dazzling.

"I also think it's pretty. Thank you for your blessings. Let's take this one. Let's have two. Can you deliver it home?" Ji Yang asked.

"I can ask the driver to send you back, not in the afternoon." Xu Lan nodded, emphasizing her role.

"Trouble." Tang Xuan was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's all old classmates, it should be." She said beautifully, and Ji Yang followed her to the checkout.

Leave the address and leave the shop.

Tang Xuan said with emotion, "Your classmates are pretty good."

Ji Yang looked at the application for adding a friend on WeChat on the phone, putting the phone back in his trouser pocket didn't make sense, and said perfunctorily, "It's okay, after all, she also has a commission on selling it, and it's all sales."

She glanced at him, Ji Yang also glanced at her, took the remaining two sips of milk tea in her hand and drank.

Throw it directly, and throw it into the trash can accurately.

She used to smile and said that she would get fat, but now she won't, and she feels a little distressed about him, and she thinks it must be too hard to work overtime, and she is tired and thin.

There are no entertainment facilities in the market, so you can go back after you stroll around for lunch.

When Ji Mu saw the heater he had bought, he asked him to return one, or give them both.

They are used to it anyway.

In the end, Ji Yang had to be tough to stay, and had to lie to them not to retreat.

The old man talked about it, but when he saw Tang Xuan again, he was embarrassed to say too much, so he only allowed him to save money, and don't let Tang Xuan suffer along with it.

In the afternoon, Tang Xuan accompanied Ji's mother to visit. The old man also had his own vanity. Whenever he met people, he said that this was her daughter-in-law, which made people greedy.

Who told them to say before that Ji Yang would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law if he did not marry?

With the heater, it's not so cold at night, and the signal here is actually not very good, but there are many movies on Ji Yang's computer, and it is a different kind of warmth for two people to watch movies together.

Stayed for three days, and it was New Year's Eve.

Every household started to celebrate the New Year, young people began to return to their hometowns, and there were more people on the road, and the end of the new year came to a point.

The snow is getting bigger, and Tang Xuan is afraid of the cold and wants to go out to make a snowman, making Ji Yang extremely helpless.

That night, Ji's father and Ji's mother gave the two red envelopes to keep the New Year's Eve.

As before, Ji Yang gave two hundred yuan, but Tang Xuan's red envelope was filled with bulging, one after another brand-new red banknotes.

"Unfair?" He protested.

"What do you think is too little? Just give you the meaning." Father Ji stunned him, squinted at him, and seemed to dislike him talking too much.

"What do you mean?" Ji Yang glanced at the red envelope again.

"I'm almost 30, it's interesting to say this? Hurry up, just give it back to me, if you don't want to, you can buy two cigarettes." Jifu said, already stretched out his hand.

Ji Yang is reluctant to put it in his pocket, like a child who failed to argue with his parents, slightly mischievous.

Tang Xuan was a little gloating on the side, but she was a little envious of seeing the way the family gets along.

Salutes are banned in big cities, but in small counties like this, nobody cares. Starting from nine o'clock, the sound of artillery is heard one after another, and the smell of artillery is filled in the air.

"Bang bang bang."

The fireworks bloomed in the sky, deafening.

Ji's mother and Ji's father went to other people's homes and watched the Spring Festival Gala by the way. The reason why there was no TV at home was that they didn't like watching them at home, so they liked to go chatting and strolling.

Ji Yang took Tang Xuan's hand and walked outside, looking at the beautiful fireworks from time to time, and chatting about what happened next.

It's twelve one.

There was the sound of cannons from all directions, and every household had to set off a firecracker, which made the taste of the year even stronger.

the other side.

Fang Xin had a big quarrel with her family, slammed the door into the room and refused to eat. She swiped her phone on the bed and complained to Dai Zini.

My elder brother married a sister-in-law and gave birth to a nephew. The family relationship is complicated, so I have to give red envelopes during the New Year holidays, so I can't give much money because I have a lot of money.

My sister-in-law thinks she is so stingy with the famous brand all over her body, and she has opinions about this. My parents think that there should be a plan. People in their twenties should not be so downhearted.

The New Year's Eve was too noisy.

After secretly voicing, he opened the circle of friends and swiped down, suddenly staying on the latest circle of friends posted by Ji Yang.

He has never posted a photo of Tang Xuan, nor will he show affection in his circle of friends. This is the first time.

The text is a very common sentence: "In the new year, Miss Tang smiled happily."

The picture shows Tang Xuan facing the camera with a crooked smile and a bit of indulgence. His figure is reflected in the bottom of his eyes. The photo is like a snapshot, like a real life record.

Tang Xuan looks very attractive with pictures that have not been repaired, and no photos have been taken.

Many people like him, and a few male colleagues in the company who play well with him will ridicule, "When do you have a wedding drink?"

"The money is still prepared."

"See your parents' rhythm."

...

She thought that Ji Yang's private life was messy, so she deliberately hid Tang Xuan, and now he replied generously: "This matter has to be discussed with the family leader, I will try to be faster!"

In the words, he held Tang Xuan very high, causing a lot of envy and jealousy.

From the second day of the Lunar New Year, you can celebrate the New Year.

Ji Yang is the only one in this generation who is not married. He brought his fiancée back this year, and the family members are curious.

Quite a lot of people have come to visit Ji's New Year's Eve this year.

The aunt’s, the second aunt’s, and the uncle’s family were all over here. There were more than a dozen cousins ​​here, and they had to prepare a large table of food. Ji Mu couldn't do it alone, so Tang Xuan went to help.

Ji's father asked Ji Yang to buy wine, and he started chattering with a few men after taking the peanuts. Looking at Ji Yang, the big worry in his heart was let go.

"Your girlfriend's salary is very high?" The big cousin asked Ji Yang bluntly, "How much is that for a month?"

"At least there are six to seven thousand, and more than ten thousand, and the city earns more." Ji's father could not help but drift after drinking two sips of wine.

He had an accident and didn't make any money. Someone always looked down upon him. Now Ji Yang is promising, and the girlfriend he brought back is also excellent, so I feel like he can be a little more proud.

"So high, what are you doing?" The big cousin's words had a deep meaning, and her tone couldn't help but be sour.

"There are so many ways to make money." Ergu's cousin reminded her, "You don't know that."

"Why don't I know?" The eldest cousin refused to admit defeat and stared.

"I do high-end furniture design, because she studied design in college, drawing in an office." Ji Yang pretended not to understand her implicit meaning, and explained.

There are more relatives, and there are all kinds of monsters.

"It's a white-collar worker." The second cousin emphasized.

The big cousin rested for a while, her tone was a bit arrogant, "study design, I also wanted to learn English before."

"How many years ago was that? Why are you still taking this out?" The second cousin of the second aunt's family said with a smile.

"I wanted to go to school before. Didn't my mother not let me go? Let me go out to work? I got a perfect score in the English test of elementary school. If I finish junior high school, how about this now?" When it came to this, the big cousin got a black face.

"Okay, how many years ago did it happen? You are playful yourself, and now you are all pushing on me?" The aunt also felt ashamed.

Tang Xuan walked out, and Ji Yang pulled her to her side and sat down.

"But now I heard that white-collar workers don't make much money, and my friend can sell furniture for thousands of a month." The big cousin saw Tang Xuan sitting down and spoke intentionally or unconsciously.

Hearing this, Tang Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Yang. The other party lowered her voice and said, "Don't listen to her farting."

"..."

She was silent.

However, even if she was silent, someone would ask her, but the big cousin looked at the ring in her hand, "Ji Yang bought all the diamond rings? How much is this thing?"

Diamond rings in small places are still rare.

"How much money is there, Xuanxuan and Xiaoyang are going to get married next year, they all bring this, of course they have to buy it." Ji Mu interrupted with a smile.

"It's not cheap, it costs ten to twenty thousand, right?" the cousin asked.

Before the accident, Ji’s family was okay before the accident, but after the accident, the Ji’s family became poor. Not all relatives saw you well.

"Xiaoyang, just tell her how much, maybe she feels like she wants to go back and let her husband buy one." The second cousin smiled and took the conversation.

"Five thousand two."

When Ji Yang said a number, Tang Xuan was taken aback by him. She looked at him a little surprised, as if she was asking, "Really?"

She thought it was more than 20,000.

"Diamonds depreciate as soon as they are bought, and spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a stone. Ji Yang, are you stupid in reading?" The big cousin couldn't help making fun.

"You buy a wedding ring in your life, and you will get married once in your life. If you are within your ability, you should buy a better one." Ji Yang was not annoyed, and said tepidly.

"Well, don't talk about other people. Just about you, sister, you should take care of it. She has been pregnant for a few months and her husband doesn't know it." The second aunt refused to let the eldest cousin continue talking, and looked at the aunt.

The aunt's face was embarrassed.

The big cousin also stopped talking, her expression embarrassed.

Tang Xuan knew that the older uncle was driving an excavator, and that he took his cousin with him. There were also assets in the family. The second aunt's family would not be able to do it. They all depended on odd jobs.

As for this big cousin...

How many months pregnant my husband does not know what it means?

Looking at her suspicious little eyes, Ji Yang quietly explained, "She didn't finish the first year of junior high school, and the married husband looked down on her, despised her for not studying, and would not let her have a second child."

So quietly?

Have been pregnant for a few months, my husband didn’t know?

After the eldest cousin was told by the second aunt, she was afraid that she would poke the sore spot, which was quite honest, but it was ridiculous.

She hated that she didn't study much, didn't have a good degree, and her husband didn't look down on it, but she touted the uselessness of studying, as if eager to prove that Tang Xuan was nothing rare.

Even so, even the second aunt's family feels very rare, and she doesn't like Tang Xuan well, boasting that she is beautiful and sensible.

After eating, the aunt took her pregnant cousin and left first, but the second aunt's family stayed for a while.

The second aunt gave Tang Xuan a thin gold necklace, so she must accept it, not much money, just a good luck.

The second cousin was also married, and she was still holding her little daughter. Tang Xuan gave the little guy a red envelope.

"Thank you." The little guy is only three years old, but he knows that red envelopes are a good thing, so he said sweetly.

"Thank you?" Ji Yang squatted down to tease her.

"Thank you Auntie." She hesitated, her soft voice sounded, and she looked at Tang Xuan very shyly.

"That's right, I'll give you another big red envelope." Ji Yang took out the red envelope and stretched it out in front of him.

"Thank you, uncle." She happily took it, and looked at her mother.

This lovely look aroused the joy of the people present.

After staying for a while, the aunt's house also left.

While Tang Xuan went upstairs to pick up her mobile phone, Ji's mother looked at Ji Yang, her words a little worried, "Son, we just say how much the diamond ring is, don't exaggerate."

Before he could speak, Father Ji took a cigarette, "You still have the same temper, you like to talk big!"

Ji Yang: "???"

"Mom borrowed 50,000 yuan from my second aunt yesterday, plus the money from the bottom of the box by me and your dad, we made up 68,000, which is the gift money for Xuanxuan. When you say this, people think we will go there deliberately. Borrow money." Ji Chuanxi said with a long heart, "Your second aunt also kindly borrowed from us, but you can't make people think about it."

What is the concept of buying a diamond ring at fifty thousand? They think it is impossible.

"What are you going to borrow money for?" Ji Yang helped the amount.

"Although Xuanxuan doesn't mention the betrothal gift, but you have to give it, how can you not? What if someone says we don't pay attention to it? My dad and I want to come over, and the money will be given to Xuanxuan. After you get married, everywhere You have to use money. My father and I will pay it back slowly. We don’t need money. Your second aunt doesn’t worry about it. It’s important for you to get married.” Ji Mu said to him, but also exhorted, “Don’t let Xuanxuan know that before. You have used all the money your dad and I saved to buy a car, and our family can't get it out."

The season parent defaults.

"The marriage should be settled earlier. If you are busy, you can get the marriage certificate first. The wedding will wait for you to spare and then go to make up the wedding. You are not young anymore. I have tried Xuanxuan. She has no objection. Is it your problem?" When the mother talked about this, her expression became serious.

"People are blind for a while, and not always blind." Jifu fills up the gun.

"..." Ji Yang's mouth twitched, "Dad, did you say that to your son? What is blindness?"

"You are my son, I don't know what you are like? Don't chirp for me, interrupt your leg!" Jifu said in a deep voice.

Ji Yang took a deep breath, "Mom, I have no problem with you giving the money to Xuanxuan. I will pay back the money from the second aunt's house in private, and I won't tell her."

He knew what the two were worried about, but because he was afraid that Tang Xuan would abandon their family and feel too poor, and then he would be unhappy.

"No, me and your dad..."

"How old are you all? When will you be able to pay me back? If so, I won't be married, and I won't feel at ease. Xuanxuan won't feel at ease when she keeps the money." Ji Yang was tough.

Ji Mu thinks that his eyes are a little moist when he grows up, and he still has to be able to do it, "Of course the parents are for the good of the children."

"I can earn money now. Three or four thousand yuan a month, seven or eight thousand yuan for two months' salary, can you parents? How long do you have to save? Xuanxuan also thinks that the gift is a form, and you think you must give it to me. No objection, I will give it to you in private, and you will give it to her. In the end, the money has to be returned to our hands." Ji Yang persuaded them.

In fact, he had so much monthly salary on the face of it, so he kept talking about it in order not to worry his parents, and it was a feat to put it bluntly. This remark made everyone comfortable.

The old man was persuaded.

On the last day of leaving Ji's house, Ji Mu and Tang Xuan talked about the bride price. The other party's first reaction was to refuse. This number was too much for them.

Ji's mother took her hand and said lonely, "Why don't you accept it? People have to receive a dowry when marrying a daughter-in-law, or do you want to marry my Jiyang? Are you not willing to be my daughter-in-law?"

"No..." Tang Xuan had to accept it if he didn't accept it.

However, as soon as she accepted it, she had to pay Ji Yang back, and if the other party didn't ask for it, she asked him to pay off part of the debt.

"I'm so poor that I can use your gift money to pay off the debt? The marriage hasn't ended yet, do you mean to return it to me? Are you going to slip away?" He said solemnly and stared at her very seriously.

Tang Xuan was amused by him and walked over to hug him, "Then I will save it first."
