Chapter 376: Is My Territory Still Mine?
Chen Chi hung up the phone and quickly dragged the stool on the table away, so as not to affect Xu Shuang's soup. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Bowlmats, bowlmats. Xu Shuang shouted urgently.
Chen Chi's gaze scanned the table, and there was nothing.
Xu Shuang suffigated and inhaled, and walked a few steps from the kitchen with the soup, the heat of the soup passed through the porcelain bowl to the palm of her hand, and she couldn't stand it. But the bowl mat on the table hadn't been laid out yet, and she couldn't put it down. The landlord had a piece of printed glass pressed on the dining table, and she was afraid that the glass would crack and damage people's property.
"Ask Mom. "She's in a hurry. In the past, she used to put the bowlmat next to the glass vase on the table, but since her in-laws came, many places are not the way she used to decorate.
Wang Cailian and Chen Songping first settled in the kitchen, and the bottles and cans were all moved. Later, he began to change the bathroom, and moved the laundry basket bought by Xu Shuangchuan to the living room, saying that the dirty clothes had not accumulated for a long time and should be washed off with the change. Xu Shuang said that in the winter, she washed a shirt for Chen Chi a day, let her rub her hands or let the landlord's washing machine not pant every day?
Xu Shuangchuan and Chen Chi's large bath towels were originally hung in the bathroom, and they couldn't escape the guidance of their mother-in-law. Wang Cailian washed the two large bath towels and dried them, folded them and asked Xu Shuang to put them away, saying that the bathroom was damp and the woolen fabric should not be hung for a long time, so she would take them out when she used them.
Nowadays, they don't need large bath towels anymore, but use small towels to wipe them twice. Chen Chi was used to coming out half-naked after taking a shower, but since he beat his parents, he didn't need to be reminded by Xu Shuang, and he automatically dressed neatly and seriously.
Immediately afterwards, the living room also changed, the extra laundry basket was washed and scrubbed by Wang Cailian, put a lot of woolen yarn, she went to buy a pair of bamboo needles, recently started to play sweaters, there are already four in the plan, Chen Chi two, Xu Shuang dropped two, after playing the pullover open the shirt.
Father-in-law Chen Songping, usually does not smile, except for cooking on time when he doesn't go out, he is attracted by the computer that Chen Chi bought at other times, and the time he spends a day studying the computer is not lost to Xu Shuang, but he is willing to wind the old wife around.
In the afternoon, under the windowsill of the bedroom, the father-in-law stretched out his arm to put the velvet coil, and the mother-in-law pulled the thread and wrapped it into a thread ball, and was busy all afternoon. After finishing the work, I asked Xu Shuangchuan to come and see, and told Xu Shuangchuan about a few strands of thread, and she was at a loss, touching the thread ball and just picking the color she liked, like a cat playing with thread.
Xu Shuangchuan is really grateful to her in-laws, but there are some things that are difficult to say in her heart. Look at the two low stools that my in-laws picked up in the small furniture store next door to the vegetable market, tiger-headed and painted with sallow, placed in the living room. The small shop mainly sells tables, chairs, cabinets, hanging hangers, and also comes with recycled second-hand furniture, which makes people feel that the quality cannot be forced.
Now the living room is either a dull red or a thick yellow, which makes people feel dull and incongruous, as if they have traveled back more than ten years. Of course, other people's houses, the basic style is there, and if the things that are added scattered can be integrated with the original furniture, it is indeed not easy, but Xu Shuangchuan pondered, can you not use this heavy waxy yellow tone, which makes people unable to lift their spirits. The in-laws obviously don't care too much about the color tone, they care more about practicality, which can be said to be the same as her own mother.
Xuan Chunhua came to the door to pick up some fresh melons and fruits for her daughter and son-in-law's house, Xu Shuang sent her downstairs, the two mothers and daughters were homely, Xuan Chunhua said unintentionally: "Where did the two small stools in the living room come from, why didn't I see it last time I cleaned up the room for you?"
"Mom, do you think it's good-looking?" Xu Shuangchuan said with a bitter face, "Chen Chi's parents take a fancy to it, and they say that it is convenient to sit when choosing dishes." ā
"When choosing food, you have to sit, and if you squat and stand, it's uncomfortable for a long time. ā
Xu Shuangchuan muttered: "You can let me go out with Chen Chi to buy it, buy two good ones." ā
"You?" Xuan Chunhua commented unceremoniously, "You will only look at whether the style is trendy or not, and spend a lot of money to buy a plastic stool or a stool made of particleboard, and the one your in-laws picked is a solid wood stool, and the weight is different." ā
Xu Shuang choked and muttered in a low voice: "Don't weigh the stool when you buy it." ā
Chen Songping and Wang Cailian's first half of their lives were not so rich in materials, because of the remote location of their workplaces, it was not easy to buy a thing and use it for a long time, and to this day, this kind of down-to-earth consumption habits are still maintained. They think long-term, the couple is in the transition period of accumulating capital in their careers, and now they will not want to put the small items they buy in their new homes in the future, so they don't need to pursue any fashion, anyway, the popular style will not keep up with it in two years, as long as the quality is reliable. After a while, they don't need it, and they can also move the small stool back to Xu Shuangxia's parents' house and leave it for their in-laws' family, and it's good to be a footstool.
In addition to the laundry basket and small stools, there are other alterations in the hall.
On the dining table, Xu Shuangchuan originally placed a twisted belly glass vase, Wang Cailian said that it is not practical to occupy a space, it is easy to accidentally touch it when eating, and it will cut her hands when she smashes it, she found a few newspapers to wrap the vase, put it in the cabinet, and then went to the furniture decoration store to buy a bunch of vivid gardenias with plastic bowls, which are very beautiful, but they are made of silk cloth.
Xu Shuangchuan admired it for two days, caught it for one night, and said to Chen Chi by the pillow that the silk flowers have no fragrance, and there is a lot of dust after a long time. When Chen Chi accompanied his parents to the supermarket to buy melon seed candy for the New Year, he remembered Xu Shuang's pillow wind, and fished out a pot of real daffodils by the way.
However, this pot of daffodils is managed by her mother-in-law.
Wang Cailian put it next to the TV, sniffed it every day, checked the number of buds, and took care of it very carefully. In the evening, when the sun withdrew, she moved the daffodils back to the TV in the living room, and when Chen Chi came back from work, she pulled Chen Chi to see: "Chi'er, come and see, the daffodils you bought are really good, and you have pulled out a bud." ā
Although Xu Shuangchuan stayed at home, she and Chen Chi saw the daffodils at close range for the same time, and she couldn't run to her in-laws' room to be.
So, once, when she accompanied her in-laws to the vegetable market, she happened to see someone setting up a stall to sell daffodils, so she bought a lump of daffodils with her own money, went home and soaked them in water, and placed them in her own room. It was still a year ago, after this year, Xu Shuangchuan found that the daffodils she bought grew as green as garlic seedlings, but they didn't bloom, I don't know if it was because her bedroom couldn't get sunlight, which caused the daffodils to keep up with their nutrition, or because the daffodils didn't cut the bulbs.
Nowadays, except for Chen Chi and Xu Shuangchuan's bedrooms, all the places in this two-bedroom apartment have been branded with traces of in-laws. The vase is gone, and the bowl mat next to the vase has long been lost, anyway, every time I eat, I will run out, and it will never appear on the table after eating.
Where these things go, you have to ask your in-laws.
"Mom, where did you put the bowl mat?" Chen Chi shouted, he was afraid that Xu Shuang would not be able to hold on, so he gave up the search, and hurriedly stepped forward to help hold the bottom of the big soup bowl.
"You can't do this," Xu Shuangchuan shouted, "don't touch it, it'll be sprinkled in a while." ā
"What??" Wang Cailian hurriedly ran out of her son and daughter-in-law's room, and when she saw the two of them holding the soup bowl in their four hands, she immediately understood, and hurried to the kitchen, but in a second or two, she turned around and put the bowl mat on the table.
"You go away, go away. Xu Shuangchuan commanded Chen Chi.
"Be careful. Wang Cailian watched her daughter-in-law's movements, and after Xu Shuangchuan put down the bowl, she exhaled, and complained to the kitchen, "Songping, why are you so full?"
Amid the whining smoke exhaust, Chen Songping was snorting and flipping through the shovel to stir-fry, and he didn't know anything about the episodes outside the kitchen, and replied loudly: "Just fill a bowl." ā
The parents were talking, and Chen Chi was also asking Xu Shuangchuan: "Is it hot?"
Xu Shuang glanced at it, what else does it need to say?
Mother was on the side, Chen Chi was not good at following the intimate and romantic tone of Cheng Lao earlier, grabbed Xu Shuang's hand, and blew heartache, this kind of hot perm through the porcelain bowl actually won't hurt the skin too much, just wait for the air to cool naturally, he explained: "I'll serve the dishes in the back, wash your hands, and prepare to eat." ā
"I'll come. Wang Cailian hurriedly said.
Xu Shuangchuan came out of the bathroom with droplets of water, and when she saw that Chen Chi's mother and son were both setting dishes with chopsticks, she walked to her bedroom.
"Frost, your clothes are folded and placed on your bed. Wang Cailian shouted.
"Oh, I'll put it in the closet. Xu Shuangchuan saw her mother-in-law coming out of her room before, and she knew what was going on. Wang Cailian would inevitably collect and fold her clothes at dusk every day, and then automatically enter her room, stack her clothes with Chen Chi's clothes, and put them at the end of the bed, she was used to it.
Today, it's just her clothes.
Wang Cailian put down her chopsticks, followed her daughter-in-law into the room, and continued: "Shuangshuang, I didn't bring Chi'er's clothes, let's put them in my cabinet first, Fang Lian has lived in your house these days, and it is inconvenient for him to take clothes." ā
Xu Shuangchuan thought for a while: "Then I'll take the clothes he wears to work tomorrow to Mom's room." ā
"Yes, yes, yes. Wang Cailian said continuously.
