Chapter 256: Landlady
"Susie, Susie. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Huang Jie shouted upstairs, and the sound of slippers came up with a crackle.
Chen Chi got up and looked out the door. Xu Shuangchuan entered the house from the balcony when she heard the sound, and whispered: "The landlord's wife, her name is Aunt Jie." ”
This Aunt Jie is forty years away, with good facial features and neatly dressed, although it is just an ordinary outfit of shirts and trousers, and the style still adheres to the conservative style of middle-aged women in China.
She was obviously more amiable than Mr. Qian's polite enthusiasm, and with a loving smile, she exclaimed happily as soon as she came up, "Susie, you are here." Then he paused, looked at Chen Chi, and smiled even brighter, "Oh, this is Susie's husband, Susie mentioned it, hey, you two are really a good match." ”
"Aunt Jie, just call me Xiao Chen. Chen Chi pulled out the stool on the computer desk next to the bed, "Aunt Jie, sit down." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome, they're all in your own home, and you'll live together in the future, what's polite to me?" Huang Jie said angrily, looking around the room with a concerned expression, "Susie, have you moved all of them?"
She looked at Xu Shuangchuan and nodded, and sighed: "That's good, I still think that if you have a lot of things, wait until Sunday when I get off work, I will finish the service in the morning, let your uncle take care of the house in the afternoon, and I will ride a bicycle to help you go to the carrying point." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Jie, I've moved all over. Xu Shuangchuan said busily.
Chen Chi continued, his tone earnest: "Aunt Jie, frost and frost in the future...... Susie lives here, and she has to trouble Aunt Jie to take care of her. ”
"That's as it should be, we're all from the same country. Huang Jie looked at Chen Chi intently, as if with emotion, "What a good young man, Susie is blessed." ”
A gloomy look flashed on her face, which made her facial expression a little more real, but she quickly laughed, took Xu Shuangxiao's hand and patted it gently, "I have a daughter, but unfortunately I am not around, and I have always been very indebted in my heart, so when I saw the quiet little girl, I liked it from the bottom of my heart." Xiao Chen, don't worry, Susie lives here, and I treat her as my own girl. ”
Chen Chi thanked himself, Huang Jie chatted with them warmly, and explained before leaving: "Susie, Xiao Chen, you sit down and rest first, and I will tell you to go down to eat later." ”
Huang Jie's tone was casual and natural, just like the daily speech of the elders in the family, after speaking, she turned around and went back to the master bedroom next door first, came out in less than half a minute, closed the door casually, turned around and smiled at Chen Chi and Xu Shuang, and went downstairs with slippers.
Chen Chi heard that there was no movement on the stairs, he closed the door, remembered something, and asked, "Shuangshuang, how did you and the landlord talk about the problem of eating at ordinary times?"
"Aunt Jie said that I go to school every day and only have one dinner when I come back, so it's better to eat with them first, and if it's not convenient to try, I will do my own thing. I have already said yes and paid for the first month's food. Aunt Jie is very good, and if there is a discrepancy, she will refund more and make up for less. After Xu Shuangchuan finished reporting, he pressed Chen Chi to the computer desk and sat down, "Take out my computer and try the socket in the room." I'm going to go and water the flowers. ”
Chen Chi tried the length of the power cord, moved the computer and the external mouse on the small computer desk several times, and set the most convenient position. While waiting for the computer to turn on, he looked around, and the pale pink wallpaper looked like it had been for years, and the bottom white had faded a little. The carpet was gray, very old, worn flat and thin, and there was no lint at all. The folding chair he sat on occupied almost the middle of the room, and between the closet at the door of the room, there was only an open space for one person to pass.
After Chen Chi tried the computer, he got up and tucked the folding chair under the computer desk, and the feeling of crampedness in the room was a little less. He approached the balcony door, closed it, and tried the latch several times.
"The door locks, I've tried. Xu Shuangjiang raised her eyes and reminded, after speaking, she still held the mouthwash cup, squatted in front of the longevity begonia, and patiently watered the roots of the flowers bit by bit.
Chen Chi snorted, walked up to the balcony, turned his face sideways and looked at the person next door seriously. The two symmetrical houses have two balconies connected by a one-person high iron railing. Chen Chi looked at the small room next door, the balcony door was closed tightly, he couldn't see it at all, and the balcony was empty, not like he often came out to use the balcony, but he was slightly relieved.
He walked to Xu Shuang's side, saw her pouring stopped, very meticulously, his eyes were soft, and he touched her head.
"You can't pour it in at once, the soil is too dry, and you have to seep it down slowly, otherwise it will all flow into the tray, and Huahua won't be able to drink it." Xu Shuang tilted her face and explained, her tone like a playful little girl.
Chen Chi curled his lips and laughed, squatting down to watch her water. The thin line of water shone white, and it didn't reach the flower soil in a moment.
He looked up at her, and after a while he reached out his hand, gently picked up a short strand of hair from her ponytail, and pulled it behind her ear.
Xu Shuangchuan only felt a slight itch on the pinna, subconsciously tilted his head and shrunk, pursed his lips and smiled wordlessly.
"Susie, Susie, come down to dinner. Huang Jie's voice sounded at the top of the stairs, really like her own parents, and her voice revealed love.
"Susie. Chen Chi chuckled at her.
"Uncle Qian likes to call him by his English name, so Aunt Jie calls him that. Xu Shuangchuan said helplessly, "It's good to get used to it." ”
The two went downstairs, and Xu Shuangchuan couldn't help but be flattered. There are six dishes and one soup on the round table, very rich, fried chicken breast with peanuts, stewed braised pork with potatoes needless to say, surprisingly there is one of the dishes, it is very rare, there are many petals of pine eggs and salted duck eggs on the flat plate, in a circle, and a dipping saucer is placed in the middle. The soup turned out to be chicken feather vegetable tribute ball soup, and the thick Chinese style came to the face.
"Come, sit down. Huang Jie greeted warmly, "Susie, you are welcome to live in today, Qian Sheng is happy, Xiao Chen, will you accompany Qian Sheng to have a glass of red wine?"
She pronounced Mr. Qian as Qian Sheng, although she consulted Chen Chi, her eyes glanced at Mr. Qian, and said with a smile: "Qian Sheng never pays attention to maintaining his body, I usually don't give him wine, I only let him drink a glass of red wine when he is a visitor." ”
What kind of impact will a woman in her forties have on a man in her sixties with a concerned but charming look?
Xu Shuang lowered her head and saw it, she glanced at Chen Chi, the smile on his face did not change, and he responded heartily: "Okay, I'll drink with Uncle Qian." ”
"Ajie just loves to take care of things. Mr. Qian said.
Huang Jie snorted softly as if she was smiling, but her expression was very satisfied.
Xu Shuangchuan lowered her eyes slightly, her face was calm, and she thought that Mr. Qian and his wife were really affectionate. Later, she saw it many times, but she was really calm. (To be continued.) )
