Chapter 123 I Don’t Want to Appear in Your Future (5)

The door to the courtyard creaked open from the inside.

It was Grandma Jiang who opened the door. She put her hand on the door and smiled when she saw Jiang Ran. But when her eyes fell on Lin Qinghe, they froze.

Isn’t this the little girl who went to her stall to buy vegetables in the afternoon?

Unexpectedly, Lin Qinghe was the classmate that her daughter Ran Ran invited home.

Grandma Jiang looked at the large and small bags in Lin Qinghe's hands, the two fat fish in Jiang Ran's hands, and combined with what Lin Qinghe had told her in the afternoon, was there anything she didn't understand?

Ranran's classmate went to the vegetable market in the afternoon and bought so many things. I'm afraid she was going to bring them when she visited her home.

Her hand was on the door, and she was in a dilemma whether to open it and let Lin Qinghe in, or not to come in.

"Oh, girl... why do you carry so many things?" Grandma Jiang said with some embarrassment.

"Grandma, you won't lock me out, will you?" Lin Qinghe looked at her pitifully.

Grandma Jiang was wearing a gray-brown cotton dress that was a little whitish from being washed. Her face was full of traces of time, but her complexion was good and very rosy.

That pitiful look in her eyes simply melted Grandma Jiang. Without any hesitation, she opened the door and said, "Hurry, hurry, come in. Grandma will cook for you!"

As she spoke, she reached out to help Lin Qinghe take the dishes in her hand.

Lin Qinghe smiled and handed three lighter plastic bags of vegetables to Grandma Jiang, while she took the heavy bags of meat.

In the afternoon she bought a big bag of ribs, two large pieces of pork belly, and a slaughtered chicken.

After following Grandma Jiang into the courtyard, she followed Grandma Jiang and Jiang Ran to put the vegetables into the kitchen.

Grandma Jiang looked at the pile of meat and vegetables in the kitchen and said a little embarrassedly, "Jiang girl, take some more when you leave. There are so many things..."

Lin Qinghe, who was being pulled by Jiang Ran, shook her head when she heard this. "Grandma, there's no point in taking it back. I'm going to come to your house often to eat, so just keep it."

Lin Qinghe pulled Jiang Ran back and quickly fled the scene.

She and Jiang Ran moved two small stools and prepared to sit in the small yard and talk. This way they could also keep an eye on what was going on in the kitchen and help out at any time.

"Haitang, why do I feel like you know my home better than I do? You even know where the bench is..." Jiang Ran, who was sitting next to Lin Qinghe, couldn't help but complain.

"The bench is right in the main room. You can find it by just looking down." Lin Qinghe denied.

This is Jiang Haitang's home where she has lived for 19 years. How could she not be familiar with it?

"I still haven't finished my homework." Jiang Haitang took out the textbooks and exercise books from his backpack, took out a pen and started writing seriously.

She was now writing a math test. Seeing that she was writing seriously, Lin Qinghe moved closer to her and took a look at her answers. Surprisingly, they were all correct.

"You seem to be good at math." Lin Qinghe supported his chin with both hands and looked at a string of numerical symbols written on a piece of white paper.

Jiang Ran is now solving a big solid geometry problem. She took out a pencil, drew auxiliary lines on it, and then quickly wrote down the following process.

As the last certificate was written, Jiang Ran raised her head, with dazzling stars in her black eyes, "Yes, I want to be admitted to the university in this province!"

Her curved eyebrows and eyes soften the years.

Lin Qinghe suddenly felt dazed. It was the reaction of this body. She couldn't help but recall the memories of Jiang Haitang.

It is still the small courtyard in my memory, full of youthful energy. Jiang Haitang is also writing the questions here.

Jiang Ran, who is no longer young, stays by her side, sitting on a small stool and mending her school uniform stitch by stitch.

Seeing that his daughter was writing seriously, Jiang Ran couldn't help but put down the work in his hands and moved closer to Jiang Haitang.

She looked at her grown-up daughter tenderly and asked, "Which university does our Haitang want to apply to in the future?"

"Well, I don't want to be too far away from my mother, so I'll just apply to a university in the province!" Jiang Haitang put down the pen in his hand, his eyes full of determination.

"Really? Mom also wanted to apply to this school!" A look of disappointment flashed across Jiang Ran's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

She patted Jiang Haitang on the head and said, "Come on, Haitang. Mom believes in you!"

Waking up from her original memories, Lin Qinghe's lips curled up into a warm smile. She patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder and said, "Then you better do your best! I believe in you!"

"Thank you." Jiang Ran smiled at Lin Qinghe. She looked at Lin Qinghe with some confusion, "But don't you have homework?"

"Yes." Lin Qinghe blinked, ready to lie, "I have finished all my homework at school. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Jiang Ran looked at Lin Qinghe in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be a top student!"

"No..." Lin Qinghe shook his head to deny it.

There is already a tempting aroma coming from the kitchen.

Lin Qinghe, who had been eating bread for several days, twitched her nose, sniffed the aroma of meat in the air and swallowed her saliva, "What is grandma doing?"

Jiang Ran was also tempted. Listening to the sizzling sound in the kitchen, she nodded confidently, "Grandma must be frying meat slices. You can tell from the sound that the meat is sizzling..."

After saying this, she buried her head and started writing quickly, trying to finish her homework before dinner.

Grandma Jiang’s cooking skills are really good. By the time she finished cooking the dishes and making the soup, Jiang Ran had almost finished his homework.

I just heard Grandma Jiang shout, "Ran Ran, come and serve the dishes!"

Before she finished shouting, Jiang Ran quickly put down the book in his hand and walked into the kitchen with Lin Qinghe to serve the cooked dishes.

The meal was very sumptuous, with slices of meat fried in egg liquid, twice-cooked pork with green peppers, chicken stewed with potatoes, sweet and sour spare ribs, and a pot of delicious seaweed egg drop soup.

As far as Jiang Ran could remember, he had only eaten such a sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing her eyes light up, Lin Qinghe quickly placed the soup in front of her, and started eating after Grandma Jiang sat down at the table.

"Girl Jiang, eat more." After Grandma Jiang put a piece of pork ribs into Lin Qinghe's bowl for the tenth time, Lin Qinghe surrendered.

"Grandma, I really can't eat anymore. This is too much. You should eat too. Don't just watch us eat." Seeing that the old lady didn't even move her chopsticks, Lin Qinghe quickly put a lot of meat and vegetables into her bowl.

"Yeah, yeah, okay." Grandma Jiang responded happily.

Jiang Ran buried his head in his bowl, his cheeks puffing up like a little hamster.

Seeing her like this, Grandma Jiang said, "Look at what you have accomplished!"

After Lin Qinghe finished the last sip of seaweed egg drop soup, he looked at the time. It was already 7:30 in the evening and it was completely dark outside.

It's time to leave.

"Grandma, Jiang Ran, it's getting late. I want to go home." She stood up and said goodbye to Grandma Jiang and the others.

Jiang Ran quickly put down his chopsticks after hearing her say that. "It's getting dark now. I'll see you off."

"Hey, hey, it's dark outside now, let Ranran take you there." Grandma Jiang also stood up, her eyes full of concern.

"Grandma, I'll go home by myself, don't worry." Lin Qinghe pushed Jiang Ran back as he tried to walk out the door to see her off. "I can be fine on my own."
