The car didn't move forward, and there was no room for the car inside. Li Chu locked the car and followed Jiang Cheng home.
"Nanny, what did you say about uncle, and where did you get your candy?"
"Mom, my uncle brought back a younger uncle, who gave me the candy."
"Little uncle? Where did the little uncle come from?" Jiang Li muttered, lifted the door curtain and walked out of the house.
"Brother, did you bring your friends?"
At this time, Jiang Cheng happened to lead Li Chu to the door: "Well, Lily, a friend of mine is here."
Then he pointed to Li Chu behind him: "This is my friend."
"This is my sister Jiang Li."
As soon as I walked over, I saw Jiang Li. She had changed a lot from what she remembered when she was a child. But needless to say, the water and soil in the south seemed to be more nourishing than in the north. Although Jiang Li's face was a little yellow, that was because of the nutrition.
Due to the bad condition, the skin is still very delicate.
Because she has lived in the south for a long time, Jiang Li speaks with a southern accent, which is gentle and charming.
"Hello, Comrade Jiang Li." Li Chu greeted him naturally.
Jiang Li was still wondering why her brother didn't say his name when he introduced her.
"Hello, comrade, please come in and sit down."
Li Chudang walked in first. Jiang Cheng was held back by his sister just as he was about to go in.
"Brother, why didn't you mention the name of your introducer? And you didn't tell me in advance that I didn't cook enough! Why don't you take your friend to a restaurant to eat." Jiang Li said in a low voice.
"It's okay, he brought food from the cafeteria, enough for us to eat. Lily, what do you think of this guy?"
"Brother, what do you mean?" Jiang Li was a little confused when her brother asked.
"This is the person I introduced to you, what do you think?"
"Brother, are you kidding? He is as old as I am, and I have a child with me."
Indeed, Li Chu has a very tender face and fair complexion. He looks like he is in his early twenties.
"You don't care how old he is, do you like him?"
"Okay, brother, don't talk nonsense. I don't want to get married again, so don't give me a blind introduction. Come into the house quickly, it's not good to leave the guests alone." After saying that, he pushed Jiang Cheng inside.
After entering the room, Li Chu pulled up a small stool and sat down, looking around curiously.
The house is more than ten square meters. The entrance area is equivalent to the living room and kitchen, separating the left and right sides. There is a double bed against the wall on the left hand side, which should be where Jiang Li and her children sleep.
There is a single bed against the wall on the right hand side, with curtains drawn on both sides.
Although the house is small, it is very clean.
"Nanny, come, let's eat delicious food." Li Chu didn't care what the two people who didn't come in were saying outside, and he waved to the little girl sitting against the wall.
After saying that, he took out three lunch boxes from his bag, two of which contained vegetables, and one of which contained steamed buns.
The door curtain opened and Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li walked in.
"Brother Cheng, hurry up and eat. I'm already hungry. The food is still hot."
Jiang Li glanced at Li Chu and felt that this man was really rude.
When Jiang Li was outside, she just glanced at him casually. At that time, she felt that this man was young. Her brother just said that he was the person he introduced to her. Although she didn't want to get married again, she still took a closer look when she came in.
She suddenly felt that the face in front of her gave her a familiar feeling.
The action of preparing to scoop up the rice also stopped, and he turned his back to Li Chu, frowning and recalling carefully.
When Jiang Cheng saw his sister stop moving, he knew that she must have thought of something. He looked at her without saying anything to see if she would remember.
Li Chu also looked at Jiang Li's back with a smile.
At this time Jiang Li turned around, looked at Li Chu and then at her brother. She was about to say something but was interrupted by her daughter.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Nannan saw her mother standing there motionless, so she walked over and pulled the hem of her mother's shirt.
Jiang Li swallowed what she wanted to say, squatted down and held her daughter in her arms: "Mom is fine."
After saying that, he looked at Li Chu again, with a complicated expression on his face, and asked softly: "Are you Li Chu?"
"Lily, long time no see. You used to call me brother."
Time has passed and things have changed.
Seeing her childhood playmate again after nearly twenty years, Jiang Li's expression returned to calm: "You could call like that when you were a child, but the children back then already had children, so you can't call like that anymore."
"Okay Lily, hurry up and serve the food, and come to uncle."
Jiang Li let go of the child in her arms, stood up, turned around and took out bowls and plates from the cupboard. A drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. When Jiang Li turned around again, she looked like nothing was wrong.
"Brother Cheng, it's time for my daughter to go to school. What are your plans for the child's household registration?"
Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "I've only been here to work for half a year, and I'm not familiar with this place at all. I can only wait and see."
"Let me get the household registration for Lily and the child, otherwise you won't even have enough food to eat."
"Can you transfer their household registrations?" Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li both looked at Li Chu excitedly.
If the household registration could be transferred, it would really solve a big problem. Their life in the past six months was really not easy.
Jiang Cheng's salary is indeed not low. In addition, he also had a military discharge payment before, so the money will definitely be enough. But the problem is that the rations are not enough to eat, and there are not enough various tickets.
If Jiang Li and her children's household registrations are transferred, their lives will be much easier and their daughter can still go to school.
Li Chu picked up a chopstick and put the dish into his mouth, and said vaguely: "My sister works in the street office. It's hard to say anything else. It's no problem to transfer the household registration."
"Oh, that solves our big problem." Jiang Cheng happily patted his thigh, then thought of something and patted his forehead: "Where's the wine, Lily, bring the wine, I have to have a few drinks with Xiao Chu."
Jiang Li also had a smile on her face: "Well, I also want to toast Xiao Chu."
"No, no, no, no, I don't drink. I won't drink even if you take it out." Li Chu quickly stopped him.
"Why, Xiao Chu, do you think our wine is bad?"
"Lily, it's boring for you to talk like this. I really don't drink."
"Forget it Lily, since Xiao Chu doesn't want to drink, don't take it." Seeing that Li Chu didn't seem to be hypocritical, Jiang Cheng stopped asking for the wine.
"You guys can live together in the house first, and I'll come up with something for you later."
Li Chu actually had a plan in mind. He planned to let Jiang Li move to the house in the courtyard, but he had to wait until he went back to tell his wife.
If his wife doesn't agree, he won't mention this matter and just help them find it.
While eating and chatting, the barrier of not seeing each other for a long time slowly disappeared, and Jiang Li talked more.
The three of them talked about what happened after they separated, mainly to Jiang Li.
