Chapter 267: Nodding Things
Xu Shuangchuan was in his house, he didn't have anything to do at this time, and he wanted to call Chen Chi, but he was working. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the computer and flipping through the old photos to pass the time, laughing as she watched alone.
After a long time, there was a sound of knocking footsteps at the staircase, accompanied by a spicy female voice: "Yo, sister, it's so dark above you, in broad daylight, as soon as the two doors are closed, the lighting is blocked." ”
"The house is like this, it's small, it's crooked, you still want to face south like our hometown, with bright doors and windows?" Huang Jie unscrewed the doorknob.
"Sister, you and your brother-in-law are both out, why don't you lock the door?"
"There's nothing in there, a locked door. ”
"That's not what I said, the broken ship still has three pounds of rotten iron nails. ”
The door next door slammed and shut, and the conversation between the two women ceased. Xu Shuangchuan exhaled and shook his head.
After a while, Mr. Qian's voice came from under the stairwell: "Ajie, Ajie, Xiao Liao." ”
I only heard the door open, and Xiao Liao's bright voice replied, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"
"Hurry up, two ladies. Mr. Qian smiled and urged, "Do you want to leave?"
"Just come, come. Huang Jie raised his voice and said, "Qian Sheng, you can wait for two more minutes." ”
"Women are trouble. Mr. Qian sighed and backed down with a smile: "Okay, okay, two more minutes." ”
Xu Shuangchuan was so shocked by their reply like singing a mountain song that she couldn't appreciate the beautiful photos Chen Chi took her, she pursed the curvature of the corners of her lips, and thought, Mr. Qian is really happy today, and he is very excited to speak, trying his best to show his old gentlemanly demeanor.
"Your brother-in-law is really, he will be anxious after a few minutes, the man is just impatient, and our sisters haven't said a few intimate words. Huang Jie said with a smile.
Xiao Liao leaned against the door frame, glanced at the stairwell, Mr. Qian had already turned back to the living room, she turned her head to Huang Jie, who was holding the bag in the room, and asked, "Sister, does my brother-in-law have anything to say?"
"What do you say?" Huang Jie stood still, his face faintly gloomy, "When it comes to, he won't say anything." ”
Xiao Liao snorted heavily: "If you want to open up, you are better than me, I still have to pay the rent, send out real money every month, you can at least live in peace and stability, and you are not afraid of wind and rain." Brother-in-law is still good to you, his wife and wife are affectionate, his family has long denied him, and if he doesn't live with you in the future, who else can he live with, it's a matter of time or time. ”
"He has an identity, I don't, who will know in the future?" Huang Jie said gloomily.
"Hey, with his size, you're more than enough for him. Xiao Liao flattened his mouth, saw Huang Jie's face with embarrassment, and said bluntly, "You don't have to worry, he will find another one, he can have you do your best, and he will take care of him inside and out, as long as he sits at home like a Lafayette? ”
Huang Jie sighed lightly and wiped away her smile: "Let's go, let's go, it's time to come again in a while." You have a big face, how can he usually walk a long way to the train station to pick him up and send him?"
"No, who called him my brother-in-law. Xiao Liao took Huang Jie's arm and said affectionately, "Isn't my sister face-saving?"
Huang Jie was said to giggle: "You are becoming more and more eloquent." She patted Xiao Liao and said in a sincere tone, "Usually keep a mind, it's best to find someone." ”
"I know, but how can there be a good sister's blessing, those people, I'm sorry. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's go. ”
Footsteps staggered downstairs.
Xu Shuangchuan leaned against the wall, staring at the scenery on the screen, with mixed tastes, she skipped a few and turned to a photo of Chen Chi, he held a freshly caught grasshopper in the palms of his hands, and carefully opened a crack to show her, the clear sky behind him reflected his bright smile, which made people feel refreshed immediately when they looked at it.
Xu Shuang lowered her lips, thinking that Chen Chi came to touch her face after letting go of the grasshopper at that time, and was slapped five or six times in the palm of her hand, and the smile deepened.
She got out of bed, turned off the computer, kicked her legs and feet to clear her muscles and veins, went to the balcony to breathe deeply at the dusk clouds, and plucked the hanging pitcher plant, amusing herself, only then did she feel comfortable physically and mentally.
It's quiet downstairs, and there's no sound on the TV that runs all day. Xu Shuang was worried, Huang Jie and Mr. Qian probably went out to see off Xiao Liao, and sure enough, in the living room downstairs, only Qiao Rongcheng was standing by the window, looking at the small square in front.
"Cooking?" Qiao Rongcheng turned his head and greeted.
"Hmm. Xu Shuangchuan smiled and nodded.
Qiao Rongcheng paced to the stove to pour water, and when she saw her take out tomato sauce and macaroni from the refrigerator, she couldn't help but smile: "Your dinner has always been so simple?"
"It's fast, it's the easiest way to do it. ”
Qiao Rongcheng looked at Xu Shuangchuan and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Xu Shuang put the macaroni into the water in an uproar, and raised his eyes: "Are you full?"
The two looked at each other, and Qiao Rongcheng smiled and said, "It's full, it's just that it's quite tormenting at the dinner table." He was a little glad, "It's good that I've only lived for a few months." ”
Xu Shuangchuan also felt funny, and said casually: "This is how the partner is." ”
"Aunt Jie said that you also partnered with them when you first came. Later, you didn't have the time to deserve it, so you separated. ”
"Yes, we ate together for two weeks. She silently calculated Qiao Rongcheng's check-in time in her heart, and it was not yet two weeks, and she secretly wondered if Aunt Jie would also tell Qiao Rongcheng halfway and let him cook by himself.
She was a little curious and asked, "Aunt Jie goes to work during the day, how do you and Uncle Qian have lunch?"
"Aunt Jie made the dumplings and frozen, I put the dumplings at noon, sometimes the dumplings are gone, Uncle Qian eats two biscuits and drinks coffee, I can't stand it, and I will cook macaroni like you. Now I go out and around during the day, basically I don't care about Uncle Qian, we get our own food, and we just make do with it. ”
Xu Shuangchuan laughed: "Uncle Qian is really casual about lunch, even if he eats, he is very delicate. ”
"That's because Uncle Qian wakes up late. Qiao Rongcheng said. In fact, after Xu Shuangchuan and Huang Jie set off early in the morning, it took about two or three hours to get up and go downstairs to Mr. Qian, which was the most free and relaxed period of his day, and the living room was quiet, he could stretch his hands and feet, stretch his body and curl up for a night, and listen to some music. However, Mr. Qian went downstairs in his pajamas, yawned and turned on the TV, made a pot of strong and bitter coffee, and then sat down on the sofa with a cigarette, and his suffocating day began.
Qiao Rongcheng held the water cup, watched Xu Shuangluo stirring macaroni in the hot water pot, and the tone of the question was a little uncertain: "Do you think that this family is a little weird, and their relatives are also a little weird." ”
Xu Shuang glanced at Qiao Rongcheng with his head sideways, put the lid on the pot and simmered, and sighed as if he was nothing: "It's what you think." ”
Qiao Rongcheng paused, stared at Xu Shuangchuan in disbelief, once again confirmed her meaning from her expression, and said silently for a while: "When I was eating, I heard Aunt Jie herself say that she has been coming to Uncle Qian's house for three years, and I usually see Aunt Jie busy with other things, more like a nanny, I guess that Aunt Jie is afraid that she will have to rely on Uncle Qian to get a residence." Is that really the case?"
Xu Shuangchuan nodded, she and Qiao Rongcheng are tenants of the Qian family, these things, as long as they live for a while, anyone can see the clues, not to mention that Huang Jie occasionally complains about herself.
"That little Aunt Liao ......," Qiao Rongcheng pondered the words.
"I don't know, we haven't met much. Xu Shuangchuan said, unexpectedly recalling the woman's sometimes snarling and sometimes snarky tone.
"Hey, the water is boiling. Qiao Rongcheng pointed to the pot.
Xu Shuang hurriedly lifted the glass cover. (To be continued.) )
