Chen Xin came out of the house and happened to see Cheng Jie who came to her on a bicycle.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"I'm just going to hit this side, so I'll take a look at you guys. Here, this is a new orange, it tastes good, our unit sent it, and I brought you some. ”

Chen Xin looked at the big orange in the bag, and there were a few green leaves on the top, which was very fresh.

"It's been very hot, and you've been going out a lot lately. How's your school doing now? Didn't you say you wanted to go to graduate school last time? I asked my mouth to find some materials, you can see if you can use them. ”

Cheng Jie really cares about Chen Xin, and she is not much worse than her sister-in-law.

The two of them entered the small courtyard and immediately felt much cooler. Cheng Jie saw that Chen Xin had planted a few water bamboos in the yard, dug a small zigzag ditch on the side of the steps in the yard, paved the bottom and sides with tiles, and the water depth was about 30 centimeters.

"You've done a pretty good job here. This pool is very chic, I should go get one. ”

Walking further in, I saw that the kitchen window was artificially circled, divided into three areas with red bricks, the outermost one was planted with shallots and garlic seedlings, the inside was a small cabbage on the left, and Cheng Jie did not know the vegetables planted on the right.

"There are fragrant greens, which are from the seeds taken by Zhang's family and tried to plant, and they are particularly fragrant after blanching and stir-fried. Seeing that Cheng Jie was very interested, Chen Xin simply went to pull out a few plants, shook off the soil on the roots, and put them in a bag.

"I grow it myself, and it tastes good, but sometimes I am too lazy to buy vegetables, so I just pick some to deal with. ”

Chen Xin beckoned Cheng Jie to sit under the flower shed, with the grapevines above to block the sun, and the water flowing below, the whole small courtyard seemed much cooler than outside.

"How did you get this pool?" Chen Xin's idea of turning a pool of stagnant water into living water was very active, and it also added a bit of interest to the yard.

"I raised this side a little higher, and I also explained to the master when laying the pool, and there is a certain slope at the bottom of the pool. Then I connected the water pipe at the other end, pumped the water out, sent it back to the water filter inlet through the hidden water pipe here, and then simply filtered it and then poured it into the pool, so that the water flowed. By the way, I also did water purification treatment. ”

Chen Xinlong's water purifier is not a simple water purification device, she borrowed the concept of living water purification, using a specially built stone trough, layer by layer with asbestos nets, charcoal slag, coarse carbon slag, sand and pebbles, and finally the water filtered out of the stone trough enters the water purifier through the water pipe, and then is injected into the pool below.

It can be said that such a simple courtyard fish pond has taken a lot of effort to design and take care of it.

"Usually, the water used to grow flowers and vegetables is the water from the fish pond that is scooped, and then sometimes I buy fish for Zhang Zhang, and I keep the fish in the pond that I can't eat. I feel like it's easy to get one to listen to. ”

Although it is an old bungalow here, it is better to have a good environment, there is a big river outside, although the yard is a bit special-shaped, the area is larger than others, and it is good to plant some vegetables in the extra place.

After looking at this courtyard, Cheng Jie became more interested in the courtyard of Chen Xin's small building. She went to see Chen Xin once when she was decorating, and then she didn't go to see it much because there were too many things, and now that she thinks about it, it's almost ready, why don't you find a time to visit her home?

Chen Xin will not go to live in that small building for the time being, at least wait for Zhang Zhang to be a little older before considering it. It is more convenient to go to Grandpa Liu's house here, and if you move over, every time you go to Grandpa Liu's house, you have to walk two more roads and pass through three intersections, which is a lot more dangerous.

After Cheng Jie sat down, Chen Xin came out of the refrigerator with half a watermelon.

"Eh, don't get it, I eat watermelon every day, and I'm tired of it. ”

"Then you'll have to try my watermelon. Chen Xin went to the kitchen with a smile, wrote down the cut, and took it out to see that it was actually white!

"What is this?" Cheng Jie looked closer curiously, "It feels like jelly?"

"Sort of, it's a fruit pudding I made with fruit and fish gelatin, put it in the refrigerator with watermelon skin, and it solidifies after it gets cold. ”

Cheng Jie pudding has still eaten it, but she has never eaten a white fruit pudding like this one packed with watermelon rind.

"It's made with milk and crushed lychees, sweet and sour, you should like it. There is also a small watermelon in the refrigerator, which is made by removing the seeds from the watermelon and adding fish gelatin after breaking it, and you can take it back when you leave later, and give it to the girl to eat. ”

"Okay, you're welcome. You have a lot of food here, my girl wants to follow Zhang Zhang to your house all day long, I think sooner or later I will have to deny my mother. Cheng Jie complained fakely.

In fact, she still wished that her daughter would live in Chen Xin's house. Recently, she has been busy with work, and her husband is also busy with work, so she went out for training again, and it will take two and a half months to come back. The parents-in-law didn't want to help take care of the children, so the old couple simply went out to travel to visit friends and left, leaving a nanny to help clean up at home and take care of the little girl.

"I'm not saying they can't go on a trip, but they can't wait for their son to come back before leaving? Even if there is a nanny watching, but the girl is naughty now, and she is not very obedient, I am so busy all day and night that my feet do not touch the ground, and I have to read all kinds of documents when I go home, and I have to continue my studies, where is there so much energy to take care of her. ”

Cheng Jie shouted a headache when she said this, and her words unconsciously brought a little resentment.

"Then why don't you let the little girl live with me for a while? Anyway, one is also a belt, and two are also a belt. Both of them are the same age, and they can have a companion. I'll just take a look. ”

Cheng Jie thought about it, nodded decisively, and said that she would go back later and call her in-laws to discuss, if everyone didn't object, then send it over tomorrow night. She also had to prepare some change of clothes for the little girl. Although the two houses are not too far apart, you can't always run home to change clothes after taking a shower.

When Chen Xin reached the stage of internship, she had her own company and was still working as a translator outside, so it was too simple to stamp an internship seal. Even some classmates in their class approached her and wanted to intern in her shop, saying that foreigners often come over to drink coffee and eat here, and they can also practice their speaking skills.

didn't refuse this Chen Xin, but he didn't give them much convenience, and Cheng Jie was not, whether the recruited clerk was a temporary worker or a regular worker, Cheng Jie had to meet him. It's not that Chen Xin is not worried about her grades, but Chen Xin is too young, and she is afraid that Chen Xin will sometimes not be able to wipe her face, so she will come out and be this villain herself.

This is really right, there was an employee who started to cheat and play tricks after a few days, bullying Chen Xin when she was young and with children, thinking that Chen Xin was someone else's junior or something. Chen Xin was angry and planned to fire him, and he also wanted to go up to give Chen Xin a good look, so Cheng Jie, who rushed to hear the news, called the police in front of everyone, and the other party was taken away and was detained for intentional injury.

Song Yi was not in the café at that time, and he should have rested that day, otherwise the guy who was fired would not dare to pounce and want to beat someone.

Since then, Cheng Jie has to come over every now and then to take a walk around and knock on everyone. And Chen Xin also consciously handed over the right to audit personnel to Cheng Jie, and he was only responsible for technical and operational matters.
