Chapter 6 - Tightly
Back from their lunch outside, Jiang Qi immediately began to do his works . At 5, ready to get off, Jiang Qi put away everything and clean up his desk, pick up his phone and send Ke Yan a message: Now, I’m going home first, don’t work until so late . Ke Yan is currently working but listening to an incoming message tone, he picked up his phone to see . Then he replied: Okay, be careful on the road . Jiang Qi reached his family home at 6 p . m . Jiang Qi family home to his Company comparatively distant . Entering his house’s gate, Jiang mother welcoming him home, laughingly said: “Hungry ba . . your sister in law already cooked a good meal, go wash your hand and eat . “Ah, okay . ” Jiang Qi replied . Jiang Qi’s parents formerly working as small staff of a company, but now they already retired . Two persons retiring really have nothing to do, so they are constantly at home feeling bored . Only to play around with their neighbourhood friends, playing chess, dancing and also find them gossiping to pa.s.s out the times every day . House also being manage by his sister in law, Yun Hui . Yun Hui and Jiang Qi’s brother, Jiang Bu, has been married for 3 years . Last year has given birth to a healthy baby, incredibly loved by all family members . Jiang Qi still has a younger sister called Jiang Lu . Just graduated from University and in the middle of looking for a job . Jiang Qi finished washing his hand and come out to eat to discover that his father is not around: “ Pa, ne? Did he go to his friend’s house to play chess?” Jiang mother ladle out chicken soup for him while replying: “Yes ah, just now he comes back for a while but after he saw the chess manual then once again go out . I think he found out some new strategy and cannot wait to try it out so went to Old Zhao to provoke him to play . He should come back pretty soon . Come, eat more . ” Using her chopstick to give a few dishes to Jiang Qi . Jiang Qi’s elder brother joining their conversation: “Look at you so thin, this small body how to take care of your wife later . ”
“Oh, Yes ah . ” Jiang Qi’s mother slapped her chopstick down . “If your brother didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten about this . ” Finished speaking she went into the room . “Mom is doing what ah?” Jiang Qi asked . Jiang Bu didn’t want to answer, merely smile waiting to take pleasure in other people"s misfortune . And looking at Jiang Bu’s smile, Jiang Qi’s heart suddenly has a bad feeling .
Jiang Lu seated on his other side suddenly said: “Second brother you are finished, mom going to find you a marriage partner!”TLN: 找对象 zhǎo duì xiàng - phr . to look for a partner in life . 象xiàng also means = n . elephant “Get out, you said what elephant . That is mom to select sure is slender and beautiful girl and the picture came from aunt’s district there . ” Yun Hui laugh while slightly reproached Jiang Lu . Listening to them bickering, Jiang Qi’s face slightly black . Do not tell me . . . Jiang mother came out from the room with a photo to show Jiang Qi: “You see, this girl grow up so beautiful, a junior high school teacher, this job is good ah, family background also good, both her parents also teacher, I . . . ”
Jiang mother has not finished talking Jiang Qi already interrupted her: “Mom, my age now only twenty plus, it’s still too early . Do not need to get married so early ba . ”Jiang Qi trying his best to coax his mother in delaying this matter . “Still early ?You already 27 ah, furthermore, I am afraid after few years pa.s.sing you cannot married good, then how?” Puff . . Jiang Lu listening to their mother words cannot help but burst out in laughing: “ Aiya ma, I’m not trying to trick you but with second brother condition, although compare to ordinary man his outlook is slightly towards delicate and pretty but also quite handsome ba . He got a good employment, annual salary also a lot . Therefore, even if he got older it is unlikely that no one wouldn’t want him de . Besides, older man is more attractive ba . ” Jiang mother still want to say something but at this time Jiang father finally comes back . Jiang father walked into the dining hall already can guess his wife has brewed what to cause this awkward situation . Looking at the reluctant Jiang Qi and winks at the side Jiang Bu and Jiang Lu he started to talk: “ I say wife ah, our second child whole day already working so hard, do not trouble him with those matters, let him eat peacefully ba . Furthermore, having a grandson also depends on his fortune, this kind of thing let Jiang Qi himself handle it okay . ” Jiang mother to hear this reasoning also thinks it’s quite reasonable so casually put the picture away . Jiang Qi on one side finally can once more breathe easily, to Jiang father said: “ Pa, you really come back in time . ” “Pa, you are second brother “timely rain” oh” . Jiang Lu at one side cannot help but to joke . TLN: In between the conversation I got confused on what they implied . Lucky that I’m quite diligent and there’s Mr . Google . . haha . . “Timely rain” is a nicknamed of Song Jiang a Liang Shan rebel leader . Because always save people in times of crisis so got this nickname . A hero that won the people"s praise and love . “This little girl, really smart mouth . That is, you’re looking for a job, how was it then?” Jiang father while eating the meal asked .
“I already send my resume to several companies de, just waiting for them to call me for interviews . ”
“Then, which company you want to enter?” Jiang Bu asked . “Me ah? Mhmm . . ” Jiang Lu bites her chopstick . “I really want to work at Ke Group, treatment and salary much better than other companies, some more . . . . I heard their President is so handsome!Hee hee . . but the compet.i.tion to enter much fiercer than other companies a lot so it’s difficult to get in . ” Jiang Lu holds a depressed looks . “Aiya, Ke Group isn’t it your second brother workplace? You, this girl . Cheer up ba . ” Jiang mother try to boost her daughter’s morale . Jiang Qi also try to cheer her as well: “Come on cheer up, do not think that you don’t have a chance, in fact it is not so difficult to enter . ” “En, I know . ”
After dinner he played with his nephew and chatted with his family for a while, looking at the time already quite late . Bid farewell to family ready to get back .
Jiang Qi out from the house came down from the apartment building to walk along the district road . This time, his heart can’t help but to feel the bitterness he previously suppressed . Relationship between him and Ke Yan, how to say it out loud de? “Jiang Qi!” Ke Yan has been sitting in the car downstairs waiting for him when he saw Jiang Qi walking out from the building, seeming in trance thinking about something and didn’t even notice him . Because of that he had to go out from the car and call out to him . Jiang Qi in the middle of contemplating his worries, to hear a familiar voice calling him, raising his head, it is really Ke Yan . He went to Ke Yan’s front and asked, “Have you eaten? Why did not go home but came here waiting for me?” “En, I’ve eaten . ” While his hand touched Jiang Qi’s face: “With family talked about what, why your face looked unhappy?” Jiang Qi touched his own face: “Does it shows . ” “Yes ah . Your unhappy look makes my heart really distressed . ” Formerly depressed Jiang Qi to hear Ke Yan’s words, the miserable feeling seems to be swept away, immediately rushed to Ke Yan’s embrace . Tightly clinging to him . Ke Yan also hugging him tightly with his arms . Our hearts has been mutually tied to each other, always tightly .
