Chapter 559: Shiso Crab Essence
The yellow corridor sensor light flickered on with the sound of the elevator door opening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Chi's eyes fell on the dark vermilion iron door of his house, and he walked unhurriedly.
The doors of the neighbors are closed, and this short corridor is silent, like a dim path at midnight. In fact, there is little during the day, and on weekends he rests at home, occasionally goes out to buy a fast food, and hardly touches anyone. Only the retired aunt next door once said to him, "Your wife doesn't seem to have seen her for a long time." ”
He has no wife.
Ever since he lived alone, he had never stepped out of the elevator in a hurry. Every time you walk on this corridor, it's like walking through a hidden path.
In the past, there was nothing important at home, but when the elevator stopped on this floor, he stepped out of the elevator, as if he would involuntarily step up.
Suddenly, Chen Chi's eyes narrowed. On the dark vermilion door, a thin piece of paper was pasted. After a slight pause, he walked quickly to the door, only to see that it was a demand note for water bills.
He read it and ripped it off. I don't know what kind of paste the dedicated collector brushed, the collection slip was very firmly glued, most of it was torn off by Chen Chi, and two of the edges were still stubbornly attached to the door.
Chen Chi has lived for so long, but he didn't know that this was the way to collect arrears.
The key is turned in, and the home is always dark and cold. Through the darkness of the entrance, there was an even larger mass of black that soaked the room, like an open black cloth empty bag.
Chen Chi lit the lamp, entered the living room, and habitually glanced around, the furniture was unchanged, this was the case today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday, these objects were so silent and calm that they would never be related to popularity. In the morning, when he had finished his shower, the large bath towel on the dining chair was still hanging there, a plate on the table was sprinkled with a little bread crumbs, a glass was stained with white milk, and next to it, the milk carton that had not had time to be put away was open to a small opening.
Chen Chi didn't have any expression, put down the perilla and hairy crab gift bag, raised his hand a few times and tore off his tie, casually threw it on the sofa, unbuttoned his shirt cufflinks, rolled up his sleeves randomly, picked up the milk carton and shook it, there seemed to be a small half left inside.
It's been a day of dew, and I don't know how many microbes have fallen inside. A voice sounded in his head, and the voice muttered, and when he thought about it again, it was like the rustling of spring silkworms among the mulberry leaves at night, scratching his heart. Chen Chi obviously knew that it didn't exist, but he still lost his mind and paused there, thinking that Xu Shuangchuan should be frowning and puffing up his cheeks when he said this. She was very funny, the milk carton had forgotten to put in the refrigerator, and if she had done it herself, she whispered two words of annoyance, and if he had done it, she would have to complain a few more words around him, and make a deeper impression on him, so that he could not do it again in the future.
Chen Chi lowered his eyes and looked into the small tear of the milk carton, but he couldn't see anything clearly, he originally wanted to stuff it back into the refrigerator, but as soon as he changed his mind, he poured it into the sink and washed it away according to her treatment.
Usually, while lamenting the waste of food, Xu Shuangchuan will compare the surplus value of the food with the cost of a medical treatment to comfort herself.
The waterline was roaring, and Chen Chi quietly washed the plates and glasses. When the chores were done, he lowered his sleeves and sat down on the sofa.
If you don't have a job to bring back when you get home, that's pretty much it.
On the coffee table, the two boxes of hairy crabs were separated by cardboard boxes, and there were some very subtle gurgling bubbles. There is a big bag of perilla feet, and the crimson leaves poke out of the plastic bag, looking less watery than during the day.
Chen Chi stared at these two things silently.
In the past, he took something back from the company after work, sometimes it was a holiday gift from the company, sometimes it was sent by a customer, and Xu Shuangluo would be like a cheerful lark, and he would pounce over to take a closer look. He just took it back, and she took care of the distribution. In fact, they don't have other relatives and friends to share, so she touches it herself for a long time, keeps a little for herself, and waits for the rest to take it to her mother-in-law's house on the weekend, and sometimes sends it all over. When I came to my mother-in-law, I would always tell me the origin of the things, which Chen Chi brought back.
Chen Chi is always praised by his mother-in-law.
He especially agreed with his mother-in-law's sentence that his daughter was a close-fitting padded jacket.
Sometimes he watched her happily move the fruits, tea and wine back to her parents' house, as if he saw the little squirrel dragging the rice grain back to the deepest and most reassuring cave to hide, he once made fun of her, this is because she married him, if her mother-in-law's family is also close to the left, she must not be sad to death when dividing things?
She glared and said, "In the six months that your parents have come to live, she hasn't taken anything back to her parents' house."
Chen Chi really didn't notice this layer.
People are sophisticated, she sighed sadly, she didn't understand it, but she also understood. He couldn't stop laughing.
The room was so quiet that only the cooing of hairy crabs in cardboard boxes remained. Chen Chi thought, if Xu Shuangchuan is here, he will definitely send them all to his mother-in-law's house this time. She likes to eat, but she can't cook it at all, and she's afraid to even scratch it when she takes it out, let alone clean it.
The mother-in-law makes these aquatic products the most refined, she can only be infinitely admired, and it is not possible to learn. The mother-in-law was worried that when they were old, she would not be able to do it herself, so she could only go outside to satisfy her hunger. "It's a good thing to eat at home. The mother-in-law dragged her into the kitchen and showed her how to cook, and it was not long before she was screaming and screaming, startling both the old man and him in the living room.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"I was scared to death, my mother told me to look at the pot, and the crab crawled out. She was so frightened that she jumped to the ground and drilled behind him.
"Isn't it tied?"
"Mom untied the strap and brushed the crab shell, but it didn't tie it again. ”
The old man bent down and pinched the crab casually, and she fell silent. When she went back to their little boudoir, she tugged at the corner of his coat and asked, "Why don't you catch crabs?"
"Yes. ”
She breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she might still be able to eat crabs at home in the future.
"I've caught crab essence. ”
She didn't understand.
In the cardboard box, the cooing of crabs is the only sound in this empty space. There were twenty of them in two boxes, and he took them back, and there was nowhere to divide them.
After a long time, Chen Chi reached out and patted the cardboard box, twisted the leaves of perilla, grabbed his mobile phone with his eyes, looked at the time, and at half past nine at night, it was the time when the ending song of the three-episode TV series was sung every night.
The special smell of perilla was stained on his fingertips, sticking to his ears and hitting the tip of his nose, Chen Chi held his breath and listened to the long sound of the mobile phone.
"Hello?"
“…… Father. Chen Chi hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth.
There was silence longer than he did. "What's the matter?"
Chen Chi listened to Xu Manting's faint voice, paused for a moment, and then replied: "The company where Shuangshuang used to work sent a bag of fresh perilla, saying that it was planted by Shuangshuang and gave it to me, I want to ask Shuangshuang if she wants it." ”
"Who?" said the mother-in-law's voice on the other end.
There was a sudden silence on the phone. As soon as Chen Chi thought about it, he knew that the old man covered the earpiece and talked to his mother-in-law. It was a little long, and the living room came to mind, and the Adam's apple rolled a little. After watching the TV series, the family sitting on the sofa will be active, usually the old father-in-law goes to close the balcony door, the mother-in-law goes to the kitchen to see if she wants to boil water, and Xu Shuang will stretch her waist and slippers to wash, I don't know if she has finished washing and walked out of the bathroom now, and went to the living room with her mother.
"Hey, Shisu doesn't want it, please deal with it. ”
There was a sound in the mobile phone, but there was only one sentence, as soon as Chen Chi finished receiving it, he heard a click, and the phone on the other end hung up.
He sat with his phone in his hand for a while, then silently got up and took the hairy crab and shiso into the kitchen.
"What does he mean?"
Xu Manting glanced at Xuan Chunhua, waved his hand and said, "What the frost unit gave me, he came to inform him, what else does it mean?" ”
Xuan Chunhua didn't receive the call in person, and she couldn't judge Chen Chi's voice tone, she stood next to the telephone, pondered for a long time, pouted and snorted coldly: "Look, the unit is more affectionate and righteous than people, and the frost is gone." After a while, he regretted it, "We should say yes, this is a frost plant, or is it a seed I bought, take it back and see how it grows." I happened to go to the door and scold him again. ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, will he have one less piece of meat if he makes a fuss?
Xuan Chunhua froze and said indignantly: "Shuangshuang was forced away by him." ”
