Chapter 286: The Endless Smell of Old Smoke
"John, today I went to Aunt Jie's house to eat dumplings and then left, and Susie will go too. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Huang Jie said.
Qiao Rongcheng looked up at Huang Jie and Xu Shuangchuan, and asked, "Aunt Jie's birthday?"
Huang Jie laughed when she said this: "No, it's rare for Aunt Jie to meet you on the street, I miss you two." ”
Qiao Rongcheng's eyes glanced at Xu Shuang, with a hint of inquiry, Xu Shuangcheng couldn't hold back the curvature of the corners of her mouth, as a person who had rented the Qian family together, she could understand Qiao Rongcheng's skeptical mentality after hearing this.
"Aunt Jie's house has a box that I want you to help move to the attic, and Uncle Qian can't move it. In the supermarket, Xu Shuang sent a gap to Qiao Rongcheng to explain the reason, "I posted a note for Aunt Jie to rent a house at school, and she had to thank her." ”
One of them carried a bunch of bananas, and the other carried a bag of apples, and followed Huang Jie back.
"You guys are really, Aunt Shangjie's family still has to buy fruits. Huang Jie said angrily, "Aunt Jie will be embarrassed to invite you to the door in the future." ”
Huang Jie makes dumplings, which is really fast and delicious, much stronger than Chen Chi, and easier than Xu Shuang to cook a meal.
Xu Shuangchuan ate ten, then stopped eating, but asked for a bowl of noodle soup for boiling dumplings to drink, Huang Jie looked kind: "Look at this child, I knew that you like to drink this water, Aunt Jie will make you noodle soup, it's easier." ”
She turned her head to Qiao Rongcheng and said with a smile: "John, you eat, the boy has a big appetite, eat a few more." She put five dumplings on Qiao Rongcheng's plate, and said, "Aunt Jie sees that you often come on weekends, and after a busy day, people are tired, and you have to rush back, it's really tiring, it's better to rest overnight at Aunt Jie's place and slow down before leaving." ”
Qiao Rongcheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly thanked: "Aunt Jie, don't bother, it's very convenient for me to take the train." ”
"This God, it's getting cold soon, it's getting darker and darker, it's windy and rainy in winter, if you don't want to be tired in one breath, Aunt Jie will keep the attic for you, so that you can rest when you come over on the weekend, and you can also take the time to come back at noon to drink hot water to warm your belly, and you will stand outside for a day in the winter, but you can't stay up. ”
Xu Shuangchuan buried his head and drank the soup, only to hear Qiao Rongcheng refuse politely: "Aunt Jie, I don't come here every weekend, even if I come, the day is very fast, and I don't need the attic." ”
Huang Jie nodded and stopped talking about this topic, with a faint trace of regret on her face.
After Qiao Rongcheng climbed the escalator to transport Xiao Liao's big box to the attic, the two said goodbye, and Huang Jie sent him at the door: "Susie, slow down on the road, come to play often." John, too, played the piano later, and didn't have time to go back at night, so you came to Aunt Jie's house, but you didn't want to buy anything. ”
The two agreed again and again, walked past the trash can in the small square, Xu Shuang turned his head, looked at the dark green iron gate of the Qian family, and then glanced at the closed window on the second floor, turned around, raised his eyes but saw that the sky in front of him was a soft dark cyan, infinitely far away, infinitely high, the sunset had not completely disappeared, there were still one or two bright reds, there were few pedestrians on the road, it seemed very empty, and her chest was subconsciously comfortable.
Now she realized how much she didn't like the thick furniture of Mr. Qian's house, which seemed to have not seen a bright color for many years, and the smell of old smoke soaked in the seams of artificial leather and wood secretly evaporated, and it could never be dissipated, so that people could even suppress their breathing, and longed to open all the doors and windows to let the sunlight penetrate in.
"Whew. Qiao Rongcheng exhaled and said with a smile, "Aunt Jie scared me a lot. ”
Xu Shuangchuan understood Qiao Rongcheng's psychology and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this is what Aunt Jie meant when she called you." She shook her head and sighed, "Aunt Jie is in a hurry to find someone to live in now, Uncle Qian is very demanding, foreigners don't rent, idle people don't rent, as long as students, but he refuses to entrust it to a real estate agent, it all depends on Aunt Jie's verbal asking some people she knows, and it is said that she also entrusted my ex." You come here often, and she thinks about you. ”
"She should be in a good location, and you can definitely rent it out for a few days in the past. Qiao Rongcheng analyzed, "The attic is not necessarily. ”
"So Aunt Jie wants you to continue renting the attic on the weekend. Xu Shuangchuan said, "But her words also make sense, it's very hard for you to come over in winter." The daylight hours are short, you drag it a little, and it will be dark when you go back. ”
"That can't be helped. Qiao Rongcheng shrugged.
"John, if you need hot water in the future, or bake bread at noon, come to my apartment. Xu Shuangchuan said kindly. "If it suddenly encounters wind and rain, you can go to my place to take shelter, my public kitchen is very large, it is not a problem to sit for a while, anyway, it is near the train station, you think you can't wait, it is convenient to go back directly." ”
"Thank you, thank you, I'm really sorry to bother you. Qiao Rongcheng was grateful in his heart, and asked with concern, "Your new place is still successful, right?"
"Done. It's much better than before," Xu Shuangchuan said with a smile, "It's twice the size of the room in Aunt Jie's house." ”
She has now moved to a student apartment near the train station and is back to the environment of a large dormitory. I can meet a lot of people in the corridor every day, there are many international students, and everyone is uprooted from home, so there are many friends who visit the door, and the frequency of holding a small party to celebrate the birthday or pulling classmates to do homework together is also high, not to mention on weekends, sometimes several rooms are crowded with people, very noisy and lively. Chen Chi was very satisfied, he would rather put Xu Shuang in a pile of people who were not even worse in identity and age, than let her mix alone in other people's families.
Xu Shuangchuan and Qiao Rongcheng walked to the train station on the same road and waved goodbye. Xu Shuang looked at Qiao Rongcheng walking through the square in front of the train station, and his heart was about to move. She and Chen Chi hadn't seen each other for a while, and now that she lived so close to the train station, every day when she was free, she would burst into an impulsive idea, wanting to put on her bag, buy a ticket, and squat in front of his room, giving him a sudden startle.
In just a few hours, they will be able to meet and actually touch each other.
A few hours away is not long, but it is not a short time, but it is a little inconvenient for them, and it is rare to see each other once in a month or two.
Alas, Xu Shuangchuan sighed regretfully, took his heart, and went back to the apartment.
Running for thousands of miles, since she and Chen Chi did it once, Chen Chi solemnly warned her not to do it again, and the reason made Xu Shuangchuan unexpected: "Shuangshuang, if you don't say it, come over, I'll do the same, won't we miss it on the way?"
Xu Shuangchuan opened his mouth and stammered, this thing is coincidental, it is really possible. She thought that she and Chen Chi each rushed to each other's residence, but they were stupid in front of each other's door, which really became a sad joke. So she made a promise that if she went to find Chen Chi, she would say in advance and let Chen Chi arrange time to pick her up at the train station.
However, Chen Chi persuaded Xu Shuang not to mess around, and he didn't have any worries, so he was free.
After sending Qu Jian away, he once again made up a two-day gap, took the computer and thesis materials, and rang the doorbell of Xu Shuang at dusk.
This day is Xu Shuangshuang's birthday.
When Chen Chi entered the room, he saw a large plate of pasta on the desk, on which were two poached eggs, one fried not in a circle, and the other was not only irregular polygonal, but also the yolk was fried.
"Shuangshuang, you eat so much?" Chen Chi laughed, suddenly glanced at the two pairs of chopsticks on an empty plate next to him, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Shuangxiao, "Who did you invite to eat with?" (To be continued.) )
