Chapter 90 (1/2)

When she saw Ji Mian standing at the door with her suitcase, she was stunned. She was stunned for a long time before she said in a trembling voice, ”Xiao Mian? What are you doing here? ”

”I have a friend who wants to stay with you for two days because of the flight delay. I don't know if it's convenient?” Ji Mian asked politely. It can be seen that he is not close to his stepmother.

Xiao Jiashu came out from behind him and said with a bright smile, ”Hello aunt, I'm Xiao Jiashu, brother Ji's friend.”

”Hello, please come in. Of course I don't mind! ” The stepmother quickly opened the door, and Xiao Jiashu found that her left hand was clutching a crutch, and her left foot was very stiff when she moved, as if she was wearing a prosthesis. But he didn't show anything strange on his face, and even didn't have the feeling of curiosity or inquiry in his heart. This is Ji Ge's idea. If Ji Ge is willing to share, he will be a good listener. If Ji Ge is not willing to let outsiders know, he will ask nothing.

”Auntie, your garden is very beautiful.” Xiao Jiashu pointed to the frost covered holly tree outside and said.

The stepmother laughed happily, but tears came out of the corner of her eyes. ”Fortunately, I'm idle anyway, and I love all kinds of flowers and grass. Sit down and I'll make tea for you. No, what would you like to drink? Coffee, cocoa, black tea, green tea? ” She was obviously at a loss. She asked and looked through the cupboard for fear that she didn't have much good things to entertain her son and his friends.

”Don't be busy. I'll do it.” Ji Mian put the suitcase into the storage room, rolled up his sleeves and said, ”why did you come out and open the door? Where's the babysitter I hired for you? ”

”She asked for leave today. I can do anything. Don't worry.” The stepmother put the kettle on the gas stove and whispered, ”how many days will your friend stay here?” In fact, she wanted to ask if her son would stay, but she was afraid to hear his refusal.

Ji Mian washed his tea cup with a slight pause, and his tone was soft. ”His plane was delayed because of the rain and snow. When will there be a class to return to and when will he leave again. He is young and simple. I don't trust to leave him alone in the hotel. Mom, please take care of him these days. ”

”No trouble, no trouble.” The stepmother waved her hand and looked at Xiao Jiashu through the glass door. She couldn't help asking, ”Xiao Mian, he Is it your boyfriend? ”

Ji Mian's expression was stiff, ”how can it be? He's straight. ”

”Isn't that your boyfriend?” The stepmother took another look at Xiao Jiashu, and her tone was very regretful. ”The young man is really energetic. His skin is white and his eyes are bright. He is a good match for you.”

”Really just ordinary friends.” Ji Mian couldn't laugh or cry and said, ”go out and sit with him for a while. Give me the kitchen.”

Holding back her curiosity, the stepmother limped out. This is the first time for her son to take his friends home, and she thought they were a couple because he was such a handsome young man. As soon as she sat down and was about to inquire about each other, she saw Xiao Jiashu holding up a half knitted scarf and apologizing, ”Auntie, I'm sorry, I seem to have broken your scarf.”

”No, it's just bad.” The stepmother waved her hand with a smile, ”I'm stupid. I haven't learned how to weave scarves for more than half a year. Look, these holes are all caused by my missing needles. It's none of your business. I was just about to take it apart and reweave it, and you came. These needles didn't hurt you, did they? I didn't expect anyone to come, so I threw it on the sofa

Xiao Jiashu was relieved. He waved his hand and said, ”I didn't hurt you.” On the tea table, I saw some books about knitting, and added, ”Auntie, what kind of pattern do you want to weave? Let me show you. ”

The stepmother was slightly surprised, ”do you understand?”

”I'm good at solid geometry. It should be OK to look at the pictures.”

”Well, well, you can help me see how to weave this stitch. I feel dizzy when I add or subtract needles. ” The stepmother put on her reading glasses and turned one of the books to page 69.

Xiao Jiashu studied on the tea table for a while, then picked up the unfinished half of the scarf and said, ”I probably understand. I'll weave two circles first to see if the pattern is right.” As he spoke, he began to weave with two sticks and needles in his hands. His little finger hooked the wool and circled it from time to time.

The stepmother looked at it expectantly for a while, and found that his movements gradually became skilled from clumsy, and she couldn't help laughing. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her son: ”come out and have a look. Are you sure Xiao Jiashu is a straight man? 】

Ji Mian's face was inexplicable. He looked back with a teatray and couldn't help laughing. Xiao Jiashu, you are really good. You have been integrated into ”family life” so soon. You are more virtuous than my mother!

Xiao Jiashu was not aware of the mother and son's concern. She still conscientiously knitted scarves, and even had fun weaving them. She poked her itchy scalp with her spare needles and sighed, ”Auntie, knitting sweaters is a good medicine to cure obsessive-compulsive disorder. Look at the rows of coils. They are very neat and comfortable. ” Words fall, the vision descends to sweep, immediately froze.

It's true that the circles he weaves are very neat, but the part that the stepmother weaves can't be seen. Either there's a leak here or there's a crooked weave. He wants to take off the scarf and knit it again. But I can't. It's the result of my aunt's labor. No matter how bad the weaving is, people like it. What's the matter if you come here to dismantle it?He took a hard breath, then folded up the scarf underneath and pressed it down with his elbow. Well, it's better not to see. Just thinking of this, a short smile came from the side. He turned his head and found that Ji Ge had already sat down with a cup of hot cocoa in his hand.

”Don't be busy. Have a hot drink to warm yourself up.” Ji Mian is a short smile again, the light in the eye is flashing.

”I'll weave two more circles. The pattern hasn't come out yet.” Xiao Jiashu was obsessive-compulsive. He had to see the complete design.
