The funeral is over.

Obviously, he only stayed in Jianghuang for two or three days, but to Jiang Jinjin, it seemed to be a century long.

As the soil fell, the relatives who came to mourn were relieved. According to the custom, Jiang Jinjin and Zhou Yan are not suitable for getting too close. She can only stand on the steps and look at Zhou Mingfeng, who is silent in front of the tomb. Although she also knew that Zhou Mingfeng would return to work in a very short time, but seeing him unintentionally over the past few days made her feel closer and closer to him.

The family of three boarded the plane back to Yanjing again.

All three are extremely tired.

Once back to Yanjing, even Zhou Mingfeng didn't have time to be sentimental. In the past few days, when he was absent, Assistant Liu had piled up a lot of work that needed to be handled by him personally. Zhou Mingfeng disappeared as soon as he returned home. Jiang Jinjin's situation is not much better than him, although he is not as big as his family, but the matter is also very trivial.

In the convenience store alone, there are a lot of things that require her to decide.

The first thing is that Qixi Festival is coming. Convenience stores have to launch limited new products and also have activities. On such a festival, no matter what the store is, I can’t wait to catch a wave of enthusiasm, and Jiang Jinjin will naturally not let go of this opportunity. She also wanted to take the opportunity to try the water. The glutinous rice dumplings that Xu Congjian’s mother gave her before were really unforgettable. She liked this soft and waxy food, but she didn’t like too sweet and greasy. Xu’s mother would taste it. The control was just right, but she was also not sure about the taste of the public, so the contract she signed with Xu Congjian also included Nuomi.

Xu's mother was so pleased, Jiang Jinjin looked for several more manufacturers, finally finalized the packaging and taste, and passed the layers of procedures.

If this glutinous rice cake is highly acclaimed, then it may be on sale every day.

Many people came to check in the oden at the convenience store before, and she also added a review blogger with not many fans. The blogger is a soft girl. I heard that the convenience store might launch new products. She also said that she would come to join us at that time. If you like it, I will send her a Weibo to promote it.

Jiang Jinjin thought about it, if this new product launches smoothly and the turnover increases day by day, then she will consider opening a branch in a slightly better location.

Convenience stores Convenience stores are naturally to be convenient. It happens that she will go to school frequently next semester. If the branch can be opened near the school, that would be the best. She has inspected before. In addition to Zhou Yan’s school, there are also hospitals and office buildings nearby. Customer source.

The second thing is that it's only ten and a half months since the beginning of the third year of high school. Jiang Jinjin had to find the employee who took over Xu Congjian. Perhaps the store was on the right track. After she released the recruitment information, she actually attracted a few people to interview.

After two or three days, Jiang Jinjin finally decided on a candidate. She was a young girl in her early twenties, named Deng Qin, who had relevant work experience and was enthusiastic and cheerful. Deng Qin also happened to live in the forest villa, so she wanted to find a job nearby. Deng Qin’s mother was a caregiver. She came here to take care of an old man. Her job was relatively stable. In order to keep Deng Qin’s mother, Deng Qin’s mother gave a good job. Treatment, Deng Qin can also stay here with her mother.

Deng Qin is also very easy to learn, Xu Congjian taught, she was very serious about learning, and got started within two days.

Before the Qixi Festival came, Xu's mother asked Xu Congjian to invite Jiang Jinjin to eat at home, which was regarded as a thank you.

This summer, because of Xu Congjian’s job, I met Jiang Jinjin, and the financial situation of the Xu family was better.

When Xu Congjian told Jiang Jinjin about this, she looked a little embarrassed, and her tone was not as calm and calm as usual. "It was my mother's meaning. She is very grateful for your care for me. I want to ask you when you are free and she will do it. A table of dishes invites you to dinner."

Jiang Jinjin still saw Xu Congjian showing such an expression for the first time. He suddenly felt funny. He wanted to joke with him, but in time he realized that he was neither Yan Zhengfei nor Zhou Yan, so he said: "Then I will definitely go, but Do you mind if I bring my family?"

Xu Congjian was shocked.

Jiang Jinjin put his hand on the back and said in a helpless tone: "Take Zhou Yan to see Xueba's house, so that he is also influenced. He wants to study hard recently."

"Zhou Yan?" Xu Congjian relaxed, "Okay."

He has met Mr. Zhou several times.

That Mr. Zhou gives people a kind of oppressive aura, he is not used to it, and uncomfortable.

When Jiang Jinjin first said that he wanted to take his family, his first reaction was that she wanted to take Mr. Zhou there.

She thought for a while, then pursed her lips and smiled: "Maybe your family is good at Feng Shui, and your mother's cooking is different. If he goes there, maybe he will open up the two lines of Ren Du as written in martial arts novels. ."

Xu Congjian couldn't help but smile, with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Jinjin certainly knew that Zhou Mingfeng's popularity field was not an ordinary one. It is really inappropriate to take him to Xu Congjian’s house. It will make Xu Congjian and Xu’s mother uncomfortable. Of course, Zhou Mingfeng also has no time. He has been so busy these two days that she can’t see him. He comes back every day. When she was asleep, when she woke up, he had already gone to work.

Zhou Yan is still at an age that likes to join in the fun.

Sure enough, when Jiang Jinjin said that he would take him to Xu Congjian's house for dinner, he agreed with one bite.

Recently, he is really overly well-behaved, which makes people very uncomfortable.

On Thursday, Jiang Jinjin did not work part-time in the company. After going to the relevant department to complete the procedures, he drove to the vicinity of Weimei Company. Zhou Yan sneaked into the car like an underground joint. He was relieved after he fastened his seat belt. Tone.

Jiang Jinjin took Zhou Yan to drive his navigation and stopped near Xu Congjian's house.

Zhou Yan is also very tired these few days. He has to go to the company during the day. He has now changed from a porter to an outside worker for the company.

The manager saw that he had a good image and a young temperament, and it happened that there were not many goods recently, so he asked him to go out to send and send materials, which was much easier than before. Work is easier, but recently he wants to pick up his homework again. Every day he gets home from get off work and gets into the room to read, feeling that one day is not enough.

As soon as he got into the car, he lowered the passenger seat and put on the blindfold that Jiang Jinjin gave him before.

As soon as the car stopped and turned off, he woke up, pulled off his blindfold, and asked sleepily, "Here?"

"Not yet, let's go and buy something."

Zhou Yan had to get out of the car and followed Jiang Jinjin into the supermarket dizzy.

"buy what?"

Jiang Jinjin took a can of female nutritional milk powder and was studying, and looked up at Zhou Yan, "How can I go empty-handed to eat at someone else's house?"

Zhou Yan muttered, "I don't know."

He said again: "Isn't there a lot of bird's nest and cordyceps in the house?"

"Eh." Jiang Jinjin put the can of milk powder in the shopping cart, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Zhou Yan with affection. "Young man, you have a lot to learn."

Zhou Yan didn't understand what she meant at first, until she queued up to check out and saw that she had bought something that was not very expensive, and then vaguely understood.

That's right, if you send those nutrition products to Xu Congjian's house, Xu Congjian and his mother will be uncomfortable.

Jiang Jinjin bought a can of nutritious milk powder, a box of yogurt and a hang of bananas.

Zhou Yan was very winked. He was so strong that he carried everything. He even looked at Jiang Jinjin's bag and said, "Do you want me to get the bag?"

Jiang Jinjin sighed, "It's really time flies."

Zhou Yan: "What the hell."

"Do you still remember." Jiang Jinjin said, "It was when we ran into a fruit shop that day. You bought fruit baskets and I bought durians."

Zhou Yan thought of the scene that day, and coughed uncomfortably, "Oh, I don't remember."

"At that time, you were so cool, you didn't even say hello to me." Jiang Jinjin was very pleased, "Now you actually offered to take the bag for me, I suddenly have a..."

"what?"

"Have you seen a public service advertisement for a child to wash her feet with water?"

Zhou Yan was speechless: "I won't wash your feet, just give up."

"I can understand the feelings of that child's mother now." Jiang Jinjin said exaggeratedly, "The child has grown up! She is sensible!"

Zhou Yan: "..."

He threw the bag Jiang Jinjin threw to him and threw it to her again.

Jiang Jinjin looked at him, "?"

Zhou Yan said with a serious face: "I suddenly thought that my dad should give you the bag if I want to take it. I can't take his job."

Jiang Jinjin: She took back the idea that Zhou Yan was cute.

The two ridiculed each other all the way, and finally came downstairs at Xu Congjian's house.

Jiang Jinjin parked the car and saw Xu Congjian outside the car. He was standing next to the telephone pole, wearing a loose white T-shirt, and carrying a transparent plastic bag with a few bottles of sparkling water inside. It was Jiang. The brand I love to drink.

Zhou Yan got out of the car first. During this time, his relationship with Xu Congjian also developed by leaps and bounds.

From being completely unfamiliar, to being able to say hello and chat, it is not impossible for the two to become friends after school starts.

The Xu family is located in the old city. The houses are dense and the streets are narrow and chaotic. Zhou Yan knew that Xu Congjian's family was poor. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but fall into silence.

Zhou Yan's life has always been excellent, and his friends are also in good backgrounds, such as Yunxin, Yan Zhengfei, and those buddies. It can be said that the parents of the friend who ranked last are all senior white-collar workers. .

Now seeing Xu Congjian living in such an environment, he doesn't know what to say. Worried that his expressions and actions would make Xu Congjian uncomfortable, he simply lowered his head and pretended to look at the banana.

Jiang Jinjin's reaction was normal, and he looked around with interest, and asked Xu Congjian, "How does that hot and sour powder taste like?"

Xu Congjian is calm on the surface, but also obscure on the inside.

He was already very sensible, and he had tasted poverty early. He thought he was used to the strange eyes of others, but when he waited for her to come, he looked at the dirty and narrow streets, still a little regretful.

Hearing Jiang Jinjin's question now, he was taken aback for a moment, and then honestly replied: "I... don't know."

He added: "It should be okay. His business is very good. It is said that it has been open for many years."

Jiang Jinjin flexed his hands, "I'm going to buy a bowl and try it."

Needless to say the chef's craftsmanship at home, but she still feels that something is missing.

Of course I have to try it when I see the hot and sour noodle stall.

In fact, many humble stalls often hide unforgettable delicacies. There is a street behind the bachelor apartment she used to rent, which is narrower than this, but every day, many luxury cars stop at the intersection just for that. Home beef noodle pot.

"I'll buy it." Xu Congjian said.

"Together?"

Jiang Jinjin followed Xu Congjian to Wang Fatty's booth.

Fatty Wang smiled, "Xiao Xu? You've been here for three years, or will you come back to my stall for the first time? Huh, is this?"

Jiang Jinjin also smiled and said: "Boss, I am a relative of Xiao Xu, can you give me more peanuts?"

Fatty Wang is also a refreshing person, "Of course, please eat. Last time Xiao Xu also instructed my Niuniu to do homework, so please please!"

Jiang Jinjin could tell at a glance that this hot and sour noodle is not authentic, but the taste is definitely outstanding.

…

Xu's house has two rooms and one living room. The walls are a little peeling, but Xu's mother keeps the house very clean, and the floor is mopped and shiny. Xu's mother is very good at making a big table of rice. Originally, Zhou Yan couldn't let go of it. After tasting the ribs made by Xu's mother, she stopped carrying it and ate two or three bowls of rice in one go. .

Zhou Yan came today to borrow notes from Xu Congjian.

Xu Congjian didn't hide his personal secrets. He borrowed all the notebooks he could borrow from the past two years.

As night fell, Jiang Jinjin and Zhou Yan were also preparing to leave. How did they know that the tenant opposite Xu's house had just opened the door? When the tenant saw Jiang Jinjin, his eyes widened and he shouted in surprise: "Jiang Jinjin? It's you! I almost didn't recognize it!"

Jiang Jinjin didn't expect to meet someone who knew the original owner here.

She tried to find news about the original owner's past. But it is very strange that the original owner has almost no social interaction, and the numbers stored in the address book are all colleagues who are not familiar with her. Both parents have died, and the rest are relatives who have been cut off long ago. They have no relatives or friends, even now. The people around her are also people who don't know the original owner. People can't get started.

The tenant greeted each other, and Jiang Jinjin also provided effective information from her words.

This girl is a colleague of the original owner a long time ago, but the two have only worked together for two months. At that time, the company was in charge of the accommodation, and they happened to live in the same room.

"Jinjin, why did you change your number?" The girl said, "I always wanted to contact you before, but when I called you and said it was an empty number, I guessed that you changed your number, but we didn't add WeChat. I was still asking my former colleague to contact you the other day."

Jiang Jinjin secretly suppressed his curiosity, and smiled lightly: "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah! Didn’t we all resign before? When you moved, you asked me if I saw your notebook. I said no. However, when I packed my luggage some time ago, I found that your notebook happened to be in one of my folders. At that time, I looked at you in a hurry, thinking that if I found it, I would return it to you, but I didn’t know if I didn’t contact you.”

…

The colleague hurried back to the room and took a notebook back to Jiang Jinjin.

The cover of this notebook is all yellow.

Zhou Yan leaned over and looked curiously, "What?"

Jiang Jinjin's heart beat fiercely, and he immediately put the notebook back in his bag, "The collection of love letters I have received since I was a child. Is it something you can read as a minor?"

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes.

Who is rare to see.

After Jiang Jinjin returned home, he locked the bedroom door as a precaution. He took a deep breath and opened the notebook with a solemn heart.

It can be heard that this is a very important notebook to the original owner.

Is it a diary?

As soon as she opened it, she froze for a moment, and the first page was actually the homepage of a classmate.

The original owner used that pink pen to write down his basic information, including blood type, height, motto and favorite color stars.

It can be calculated that this should have been written during the high school period of the original owner.

What makes Jiang Jinjin most suspicious is the bottom line—

[Best friend: Jiang Jinjin. 】

What's the meaning? Do you mean you are your best friend?

With doubts, she turned the backside. This is not a classmate, there are no other people's comments, but behind it are all things drawn by the original owner.

There are little rabbits, there are seas, and trees.

Until she turned to a page, it was a portrait.

The girl in the painting wears a ponytail and a school uniform.

The more Jiang Jinjin looked at it, the more he felt that the girl in this portrait was familiar to her. Suddenly a thought came to her mind: This...it looks like she was in high school, right? ?

She gave a shock.

No, she looks exactly like the original owner. The original owner should have painted herself.

She flipped through it again, and there were several self-portraits of the original owner.

Although she looked weird, she also knew that some people would paint for themselves.

The last painting in this album made Jiang Jinjin stunned as if struck by lightning. This painting depicts beautiful fireworks and a romantic castle. The girl in the painting is wearing a white plush sweater dress with a cute hairband on her head, smiling brightly under the fireworks.

Is this... she? ?

She remembers very clearly that a few months before the book was put on, she had an appointment with her girlfriend to go to an amusement park.

At that time, she was wearing this set and this headband.

Is all this a coincidence?

Is it a coincidence?

If it weren't a coincidence, how could she be drawn in the original owner's album? Are they not people from two different worlds?

She closed the album abruptly, her heart beating so fast that she almost burst through her chest.

When Zhou Mingfeng came back, Jiang Jinjin had already sorted out her mood, at least, outsiders couldn't see that there was something wrong with her.

Zhou Mingfeng came out of the bathroom, took a look at the time, and saw that Jiang Jinjin hadn't slept yet, so he asked, "Why are you still asleep? Something on your mind?"

Jiang Jinjin had already thought about his remarks, "Well, I was thinking about the Chinese Valentine's Day event in the convenience store, and then I drank coffee in the afternoon. Maybe the coffee at that house is too pure, I can't sleep right now."

Zhou Mingfeng is very sleepy. He will fly to a neighboring city for a meeting early tomorrow morning.

"Since you can't sleep, let's watch a movie together." He suggested while sitting on the bed.

Jiang Jinjin gave him a surprised look, "It's almost twelve o'clock, now go to the midnight movie?"

Zhou Mingfeng paused, "No. There is a private cinema at home."

Jiang Jinjin said, "Okay."

I can't sleep anyway.

There are some things that she can't figure out the result if she wants to break her head.

In order to distract, she also wants to watch this movie.
