Chapter 108: Pretty Neighbors Treat
In the evening of that day, Jiang Ping sat at the door of the room as usual, using the traditional manual method to make the parts needed for the zuò hoop chair. This work must not be sloppy, if a part of the error is a little large, it will make the two sides of the circle chair asymmetrical or even skewed, not only waste a lot of energy, but also ruin such a good wood. Therefore, Jiang Ping did it very carefully, without the slightest sloppiness.
At this time, the door of the small courtyard opened, and Zhang Chenlin hurried in from outside. Maybe it was because she was in too much of a hurry, there were a lot of beads of sweat on her forehead, and her pretty face was also red and a little delicate.
Unlike in the past, Zhang Chenlin, who has always been very frugal, bought a lot of vegetables today and carried them in large bags and small bags. A breeze blew, and Jiang Ping even asked about the aroma of roast chicken, which made him, who had not known the taste of meat for several days, swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Jiang Ping had been looking for an opportunity to resolve the embarrassment last time, so he said to Zhang Chenlin with a smile: "After work, why do you buy so many dishes today, there are guests coming?"
Zhang Chenlin smiled at Jiang Ping, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and whispered, "That...... It's been over a month since you moved in, and we're getting along pretty well. So I want to treat you to dinner today, you ...... Would you like to?"
didn't expect Zhang Chenlin to invite himself to dinner, and Jiang Ping was also a little surprised. However, he didn't show Xiàn, but immediately smiled and said: "Of course you do, it turns out that you bought so many dishes to invite me to dinner, haha, I have a mouthful!"
Seeing that Jiang Ping agreed simply, Zhang Chenlin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to him and said, "Then I'll go up and cook first, and I'll call you when I'm ready!"
"Okay, thank you!" Jiang Ping, who had a bright smile on his face, immediately agreed, and it was not until he saw Zhang Chenlin go upstairs that he muttered thoughtfully: "Could it be that you see that I have been eating steamed buns for the past few days, so you want to treat me to a good meal?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Ping suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, looked at the rubber hose at his feet and whispered: "I just saw her in wet pajamas a few days ago, so she can be regarded as getting along well......?" It seems that we will have to look at it in the future, which will help establish a harmonious neighborhood relationship!"
Soon there was the sound of stir-frying upstairs, and Jiang Ping felt that he had already eaten white food, and it didn't seem good to be an uncle while he stood by and watched. So he immediately washed his hands and went upstairs and knocked on Zhang Chenlin's door.
Zhang Chenlin hurriedly came over to open the door, and said to Jiang Ping with a smile: "The meal is not ready yet, you are early!"
"Not early, not early. Jiang Ping shook his head and said, "I'm here to help, it's already your treat, I don't necessarily have to do nothing, right?"
Seeing that Jiang Ping was serious, Zhang Chenlin let him in and said, "Then what will you do?"
Jiang Ping said modestly: "I can do anything!" But today is your treat, then let you be in charge, I can also taste your craftsmanship." I've got all the other picking, washing, how's it going?"
Seeing Jiang Ping's confident look, Zhang Chenlin nodded and said, "Okay, then you can help me pick and wash those vegetables." By the way, there's another fish, will you get it?"
"Leave it to me!" Jiang Ping was not ambiguous, and began to get busy after answering.
At first, Zhang Chenlin was still a little worried, for fear that Jiang Ping would slap his swollen face and become fat. After all, there are not many young men his age who can do kitchen work at the moment. However, Zhang Chenlin soon found that Jiang Ping was skilled in gestures, and he looked like he often worked, and he also put his mind at ease and went to busy with his own affairs.
Jiang Ping picked and washed vegetables while looking at Zhang Chenlin's busy back in front of the stove. She had changed into a set of ordinary home clothes, and she was wearing an apron, and her ponytail was also coiled high, making her neck slender and slim. Zhang Chenlin was skillfully busy in front of the stove, obviously often cooking and cooking, coupled with her gentle and kind character, Jiang Ping felt that his pretty neighbor would definitely be a typical good wife and mother in the future.
"It's a good girl, but I don't know who will be cheaper in the future. Jiang Ping sighed secretly in his heart, but his hands were not idle, and he quickly finished his job.
With Jiang Ping's help, Zhang Chenlin's cooking speed is also much faster. It didn't take long for all the dishes to be ready. Two meats and three vegetables plus a soup, the color and flavor are complete, which makes people very appetizing when they look at it.
Zhang Chenlin served Jiang Ping a bowl of rice, and then said expectantly: "How about you taste it?"
Jiang Ping was not polite, and tasted each dish one by one. In addition to the roast chicken that was cooked when he bought it, he was full of praise for the other dishes: "It's delicious, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good, this dish tastes better than the one in the big restaurant, it's really good!"
Seeing Jiang Ping praising his cooking skills, Zhang Chenlin was also very happy, but he still said modestly: "I'm not that good, I think you have been eating steamed buns and mustards recently, so everything you eat now is delicious!"
Zhang Chenlin regretted this sentence as soon as he said it. She knew that a young man of Jiang Ping's age had a strong sense of self-esteem. Telling Jiang Ping's embarrassment in the past few days in person must have hurt Jiang Ping's self-esteem, and this meal would also be considered a charity for him. Zhang Chenlin was very worried that Jiang Ping would put down the dishes and chopsticks and leave immediately, so her hard work would not only be in vain, but also make the relationship between the two very tense.
What Zhang Chenlin didn't know was that Jiang Ping had long passed the age when he valued his senseless self-esteem more than anything else, and he would only be grateful and not refuse to care about others out of kindness.
After listening to Zhang Chenlin's words, Jiang Ping just smiled self-deprecatingly: "I won't tell you, I've been spending money a little hard lately, and I don't even have living expenses." If you hadn't invited me to dinner today, I would have to eat steamed buns and mustard vegetables, I really have to thank you!"
After saying this, Jiang Ping picked up the rice bowl and ate the food, without the slightest appearance of anger.
Zhang Chenlin also relieved himself when he saw this, and smiled gently: "If it's delicious, you can eat more, you are still growing at this age, and you can't only eat steamed buns and mustards every day." If there is a difficulty in these two days, we will eat together, anyway, it is a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, no big deal. ”
Of course, Jiang Ping knew that the kind pretty neighbor said this out of good intentions. However, he also saw that Zhang Chenlin's life was not easy, and it was okay to trouble her once in a while, so he smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I will move back in two days, so I won't trouble you." Actually, it's good that you invited me to dinner today, and I am very grateful. ”
Seeing that Jiang Ping was not angry, Zhang Chenlin was not reluctant, but smiled gently: "Don't be so polite, we are neighbors!"
