Chapter 260: The Daily Life of the Old Man in the House
Xu Shuang was stunned for a moment, according to the local rental rules, everything is included in the rent, and water and electricity are never charged separately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but she is not good at arguing for a long time with a bare bare bare face for a small account, her mind turned slightly, Mr. Qian's rent is always cheaper than before, and nodded at the moment: "Okay, Aunt Jie, are there any other items to be calculated?"
"No, no, I didn't think it through at the beginning, I didn't expect that your students' time would not match our commute, I just thought that everyone would have a lively meal together. Susie," Huang Jie smiled more and more kindly, "If you need anything, just tell Aunt Jie." Usually, if you are busy and don't have time to buy something, you say, Aunt Jie will give you a limp to the supermarket on the way from work, it will not be troublesome. I just feel sorry for you girls whose parents are not around. My daughter is in high school in China and has lived with her grandmother, who is older and now has begun to learn to buy groceries and cook. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Jie's face showed a little real sadness, but soon her expression narrowed, and she smiled, "Look at me, what are you talking about." She probed at Xu Shuang's computer screen and raised her tone to exclaim, "Yo, Susie, you have to work so hard when you come home, this is what you learned, Aunt Jie is really envious, you can understand the dense small characters." I called my daughter last week and praised her, saying that Sister Susie, who lives now, is well-behaved and serious, and told her to study hard in school. Susie, don't keep looking at the computer, but protect your eyes. ”
Xu Shuangchuan smiled and said yes, Huang Jie chatted a few more words, and when she left, she brought the door intimately.
Xu Shuangchuan looked at the computer and sighed as if nothing.
She started cooking for herself. In fact, it is really inconvenient, Mr. Qian's daily activities are almost all carried out in the living room, the large room on the second floor, half of the small square made a living room, surrounded by a sofa coffee table and TV, and the other half of the dining table and two refrigerators, made a dining room, the wall is a stove, it is an open kitchen, and the overall layout is connected. Even if Xu Shuangchuan poured a glass of water on the second floor, it was under the noses of the couple.
Needless to say, according to Xu Shuangxia's observation, he must sit on the sofa in the living room for 24 hours a day, except for the sleeping period. Generally, he doesn't get up until nine o'clock, drink a cup of coffee in the morning, and stay on the sofa to watch TV, sometimes a few dumplings at noon, sometimes steam two small buns that Huang Jie brought back from the restaurant, and in the evening, after Huang Jie goes home, he will slightly look away from the TV and chat with Huang Jie.
And Huang Jie and Xu Shuangchuan have slowly learned that she and Mr. Qian are not officially registered in the city hall as husband and wife. Huang Jie, like the Aunt Lu mentioned by Chen Chi before, illegally stayed in the local area to work, and was later introduced to Mr. Qian, who was divorced and lived alone, and lived together. Huang Jie has done a lot of work, and recently worked as a handyman in a Chinese restaurant, cleaning the store, kitchen, washing vegetables, etc.
"If I can follow after dinner, the pay will be higher. Once, Huang Jie said regretfully, "But Qian Sheng has no one to take care of, I can't bear that he still cooks dumplings at night, and the money can't be earned." ”
Huang Jie arrived home at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them ate well, there are a lot of chicken and beef in the supermarket, and it is cheap, they almost don't leave the meat, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and other common vegetables are stewed rotten, and they take care of Mr. Qian's teeth, and she also goes to the Chinese store every week to buy some round-headed greens, vermicelli or something, and laughs to improve the food.
Xu Shuang's dinner was much simpler. Now that the days are getting longer and darker late, she quickly adjusted her work and rest time, and under normal circumstances, she stays at school until six o'clock before going back, so when she gets home, Mr. Qian and Huang Jie have already eaten dinner and sat on the sofa.
Mr. Qian probably doesn't have many Hong Kong and Taiwan drama discs in his collection, and he often takes a nap in the afternoon to review the emotional blockbusters alone, and rarely takes them out after dinner, because Huang Jie has already watched them. The two of them have a sofa for each of them and watch international news.
Huang Jie couldn't understand it, and sometimes exclaimed with the picture: "Oh, what are you doing in these places?"
"Hell yes, that's it. Mr. Qian said disdainfully, he would occasionally give Huang Jie a rough overview of the news, but he would never translate it to her in detail.
Xu Shuangchuan took a small pot to cook some macaroni while they were watching TV. Eating alone, she doesn't want to bother cooking rice and stir-frying, usually cut some cucumbers and tomatoes, mix some sauce and canned meat, and cover it on macaroni, and it becomes a dinner. At the beginning, Huang Jie greeted her: "Susie, come on, watch TV while eating." ”
"I can see it here, too. Xu Shuangchuan said with a smile, sat at the dining table to eat, listened to the reporter's report on TV, and chatted with Mr. Qian and his family.
After a few days, she couldn't stand the smell of Mr. Qian's smoke, and after cooking the macaroni, she cleaned up the pot and stove first, excused herself to rush homework, took the plate upstairs, and sat in her room to eat in front of the computer. After that, I basically didn't go downstairs, and before taking a shower at night, I took off the plate and rinsed it, and went to the bathroom by the way.
I'm getting used to it. What makes Xu Shuangchuan uncomfortable is that Mr. Qian sleeps really late, if she goes to the toilet in the middle of the night, there is a chance that he will still be watching TV.
To go to the bathroom, you have to go through the living room, and Xu Shuangchuan bumped into Mr. Qian for the first time in the middle of the night, which was really embarrassing. The stairwell went down to the living room, there was a door that was hidden, Xu Shuangchuan only thought that everyone had gone into the house to sleep in the dead of night, she came downstairs in pajamas and pajamas, and pushed open the door to find that Mr. Qian was still sitting on the sofa.
There was only a wall lamp lit in the living room, and the TV seemed to be turned to mute, but Xu Shuangjiang was standing behind the TV, and she couldn't see the TV program.
Xu Shuang's steps paused slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes and glanced at the hem of her clothes, although she was quite conservative, but she was a little unnatural, and smiled stiffly: "Uncle Qian, you haven't slept yet." ”
"No, no, I'm almost asleep. Mr. Qian held the remote control and pressed a button, as if he was changing the channel.
The two of them only greeted each other. Xu Shuangchuan walked through the living room to the bathroom, his movements speeding up slightly. After two rounds, she usually doesn't go to the living room in the middle of the night unless it's particularly necessary.
Mr. Qian also has a small problem that makes Xu Shuang secretly complain about his weakness. When he got up in the morning, he went downstairs to the living room and wore pajamas. He didn't change until he finished making coffee and sat in front of the TV until nearly noon. When Xu Shuangchuan first moved in, he paid a lot of attention to dressing appropriately, and as he got acquainted with each other, Mr. Qian got up casually in his own house. Xu Shuangchuan has nothing to do with going to school on weekdays, but staying at home on Saturdays and Sundays, going in and out to see such a thin old man wearing soft and fluttering white background small blue dot silk cotton pajamas, and his image is not very good, it is really uncomfortable.
Huang Jie still has to go to work on Saturdays and go to the Chinese church on Sunday mornings, but Mr. Qian rarely goes with Huang Jie, and he stays at home almost all day.
Therefore, when Xu Shuangchuan encounters Saturdays and Sundays, she either still goes out early, or stays in the house and does not go downstairs, and usually waits for Huang Jie to be at home, and she will walk around the living room more. (To be continued.) )
