At the side entrance of the complex, there is a dry cleaner.

Chen Chi knew that Xu Shuangxue would send the thick coat and all his suits in the winter to the dry cleaners. The receipt he accidentally found was a very ordinary double receipt that could be bought everywhere, and the content was very simple, not even the name of the dry cleaner was written, only two pieces of clothes were indicated in the table column, and the note had been laundered and paid, and the font was unfamiliar, which should have been written by the laundry when he received the mail.

In the blank space outside the form, there was a phone number, which was Xu Shuangchuan's mobile phone number, and the numbers were neatly written, and Chen Chi knew at a glance that it was her handwriting.

He praised her, wrote numbers seriously, was very well-behaved, and cultivated and cultivated to make a school account at home.

Chen Chi took the receipt and found the front of the dry cleaner.

The dry cleaner didn't even get the front face, and rented a small red brick bungalow next to the wall of the guard's room at the side entrance, the door was still the door, open inward, and the window was a green border panning glass window, half of which was pushed open and half fixed. Three lines of red letters were sprayed on it: "Jiajia Dry Cleaners, open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m." "The bottom line is the contact number.

Chen Chi doesn't go through this side door every day, and he only knows that there is a dry cleaner here based on a general impression, and he hasn't really noticed that it's called Jiajia Dry Cleaner. But I occasionally heard Xu Shuang mention that the clothes were sent downstairs to the dry cleaners, and I was going to get Yunyun in a few days.

She has a little problem that she refuses to admit, she can talk to others, she talks to him casually, she doesn't like to explain the direction of the south and the north clearly, always says "this, that", and then mentions that some nearby locations are downstairs convenience stores, downstairs small gardens, downstairs milk tea shops and the like, in fact, these places are far and near, some have long been out of the community, and they are still unified by her downstairs.

Fortunately, Chen Chi roughly understood.

He said that the fat sister was a sequelae of being robbed of a small leather ball when she was a child, and she nodded her fingers, this and that bad boy, and she all included a small complaint to the teacher. Her generalized downstairs, Chen Chi is gradually able to estimate the scale, always within the mileage that she can easily walk back and forth, and farther away, she will use another way of expression, what conspicuous buildings to use as references, what will say what commercial buildings next to.

Therefore, Chen Chi thought that the downstairs dry cleaner that Shuangshuang said might be this Jiajia dry cleaner.

Looking inside, the Jiajia dry cleaner was full of clothes, occupying the upper half of the room of several square meters.

At a wide desk by the window, a female shopkeeper about the same age as Chen Chi was ironing clothes.

"Hello," Chen Chi stood outside the window, reaching out to hand over his receipt, "I'll get the clothes." ”

The female shopkeeper took a look and looked up at Chen Chi a few times.

Chen Chi knew that this was it. "My wife forgot to pick it up and told me to get it. He laughs.

"Well, how did you forget, it's been months. I seem to have called again, but I didn't get through. ”

"My wife had a problem with her mobile phone, and later reopened her number. ”

The shopkeeper hummed and flipped through the hanging cards between the rows of clothes. "Does your wife have permed her hair, she is quite slim, and she speaks softly and nicely?"

"Oh?" Chen Chi was stunned, "Oh, how do you know?"

"She came to me for dry cleaning," the shopkeeper chatled, "and she sometimes passed by the side door and came back with food, and when she saw me, she smiled and was very kind." I asked her where her hair was permed, and it looked good, and she said that it was this door, and there was a barber shop around the corner. ”

"Oh. ”

"Your wife is very busy with work now? I haven't seen her come in and out of here for a long time, but I also went back to my hometown, and the child is on summer vacation, so I will go back to junior high school, otherwise I will have trouble with the exam in the future." ”

"Yes," Chen Chi had already come back to his senses, and the interface should be harmonious, "Turn back, it will be more convenient in the future." ”

"Well, look, are these two pieces?"

Hanging clothes from someone else's place and hanging them in your own cupboard gives people a very different feeling. The two coats, both woolen material, one is a black men's long coat, and the other is a gray plaid women's suit. Chen Chi wore a tweed coat in the spring of this year, but only once or twice, looking at the coat in front of him, he felt familiar, but he couldn't be 100% sure. His clothes have always been taken care of by Xu Shuang, and he is relatively insensitive.

He looked at the small suit again, estimating that it was Xu Shuang's size, but he couldn't remember when Xu Shuangchuan wore it, he felt that he had never seen it. Since they slept in separate rooms, he couldn't even enter the big bedroom, and he couldn't open half of her closet for no reason, and he didn't have deep contact with her belongings. This dress may have been bought by her this year, and she must not have worn it many times. Chen Chi looked at it, the coat in winter and spring was still a little thin, and he had to cover it again on the way out, maybe because of this, he didn't have a chance to see it.

"You take it back, ask your wife to take a look, the clothes are right? We met a guest before, sent the clothes over and went on a business trip, but the result was the same as you, and it was difficult for the guest to come after half a year, and the guest said that it was difficult to get dirt after hanging for a long time, and asked us to wash it again, and after washing it, take it away and take it back, saying that the clothes are not his. Oh, make a fuss, say that we are shoddy, and we want to be greedy for his high-end clothes. He also said that my tags were not nailed, and that they must have changed the wrong clothes with other people's clothes after they fell off. Can I nail these tags? Don't damage the guests' clothes? The noise was so loud that he was about to call the police, and finally he remembered himself. They are all regular customers in the nearby community, and the matter is resolved peacefully, we don't dare to ask him to pay for the storage fee for half a year, he forgot to take the clothes away in time, so we had to hang it all the time, who is it that is really damaged, do you say no?"

"Hey, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Chen Chi lacked experience in dealing with long-winded female shopkeepers, so he only smiled and apologized.

"It's okay," the shopkeeper wrapped her clothes neatly, "Look, remember to pick it up early next time, and there will be clothes to be delivered." ”

"Okay, thank you, thank you. ”

Chen Chi turned around, walked out of ten meters, picked up the mobile phone, paused, first dialed Xu Shuang's mobile phone, it was still not in the service area, he transferred Xu household appliances, the eight digits were all dotted one by one, and he hesitated and did not press the dial button.

In the afternoon, after looking at another room with the intermediary, he drove to Xu's house.

After a few months, the community is still the same, the parking space is easy to find on weekends, and the place where he often parks happens to be empty, so Chen Chi habitually poured in. The car door opened, a breeze rose, and the osmanthus tree next to it fluttered a golden flower and fell on the hood of the car.

Chen Chi couldn't help but look up, smell the fragrance of the nose flowers, and see the yellow and bright between the green leaves of the tree, this osmanthus tree is extremely prosperous, every year in the first month, always see the ground is full of osmanthus flowers, Chen Chi once stopped overnight, just the night of the wind and rain, the next day, the windshield was covered with a layer of wet osmanthus, was seen by the mother-in-law early in the morning to buy vegetables, and asked the father-in-law to erase it for him.

It's October now, Chen Chi flashed his doubts, could it be that the osmanthus tree has opened again?

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on the familiar window, and suddenly he felt his mouth a little dry.

The doorbell rang once, twice, and Chen Chi stood upright with a paper bag.

"Who?" Xu Manting looked at it from the cat's eyes, looked at it again, held the doorknob and snorted, before he opened the door with a deep face.

"Dad. Chen Chi subconsciously shouted.

Xu Manting glanced at him: "Is there something wrong?"

Chen Chi looked in, the house was very quiet, no one else was moving, the former father-in-law blocked the door, staring at him fiercely, without inviting him in, he withdrew his gaze, and asked respectfully, "Is Shuangshuang at home?"

"If you have something, just say it. ”

Chen Chi was a little disappointed, and Xu Shuangchuan didn't seem to be at home. Otherwise, when she heard the movement, she would kick and kick the tart and poke into the living room with her slippers to see, she was very vigilant, and always told her parents to beware of door-to-door salesmen, and there was a little noise at the door, and she had to accompany her to take a look. Chen Chi thought that today was Saturday and the weather was good, so it was a good time to go out and play.

He was silent for a moment, didn't think about it, and calmly recounted: "Frost forgot a coat at the dry cleaners, and I brought it to her." ”

"Hmm. Xu Manting stretched out his hand to take it, ready to close the door.

"Dad......"

"Yo, is my son-in-law back?" squeaked behind him, and the door next door happened to open.

Chen Chi turned around when he heard this, and Xu Manting had already smiled: "Hey," he replied vaguely to his neighbor, "There are guests at home today?"

"Uncle Shen is good. Chen Chi still greeted his next-door neighbor as before.

"Hello, you've been busy lately, I haven't seen you back in a long time. The neighbor responded to the pair of Weng sons-in-law, "My cousin's family is here today, and now they are leaving, you see, they refuse to eat dinner." ”

"Oops, I've already had a lunch, and it's going to be late to go back for dinner. Relatives of the neighbors rushed out of the door and answered.

"You have your own car, it's very convenient to go back, brother, just eat dinner and then leave, it's dinner time in less than an hour or two, do you have to eat my hot leftovers." ”

The neighbor's side, including four or five relatives, stood at the top of the stairs with Chen Chi, and they were all polite to each other: "Don't eat, don't eat, let's go back early." ”

Xu Manting looked at this posture, and Chen Chi didn't look good standing outside the door. "Come in. He said.
