Chapter 247: A House of Women
The other one is more biased, and Chen Chi has already expressed his opinion halfway through: "Shuangshuang, it's so far away, you shouldn't make an appointment." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Far from the city center, but not far from where I took classes. Xu Shuangchuan defended that with her teaching building as the midpoint, the city center and that place belonged to two ends, and they were about the same distance away. If she rents here, it won't affect her daily travel time to class, the only thing that will affect her is that she does have twice as much time to visit the market.
The community environment is very nice, very quiet, there is a small supermarket, the price is a little expensive, but it is more convenient. Xu Shuangchuan saw a little boy with light yellow hair practicing roller skating on the concrete floor in front of the garage, and a smaller girl standing next to her, with light brown hair, very soft, and pink makeup really like a doll, clapping her hands and chattering, probably commenting or exclaiming.
Xu Shuangchuan likes this kind of living atmosphere very much.
The family she had agreed with was a two-story building, and the layout of these single-family houses was similar, with a living room and kitchen on the ground floor, a garden at the back, and a garden on the second floor, which was used by the main family for personal use, and was now rented out in the attic on top.
Although it is an attic, it is very open, and it can be seen that the main family has been carefully decorated, and a corner has been set up on the stairs to make a kitchen, with a sink and stove, and a very warm dining table and two dining chairs.
Xu Shuang looked at the sloping ceiling above the dining table, imagining that she and Chen Chi were sitting at the table face to face, placing a transparent glass candle cup on the dining table, lighting the candlelight, and then asking for the white porcelain bottle that had been stored in Chen Chi's place, raising a pink chrysanthemum, she and Chen Chi could eat as late as they wanted, and they were already very satisfied.
The room and kitchen are separated by walls, and there are two single beds inside, the mattresses are new, and the fitted sheets are in a bag and are not opened. The most basic wardrobes and desks are also available, but the only slight regret is that the windows are so high that I am afraid that you have to step on a stool to open and close. Sitting in the corner of the bed and looking out the window, you need to tilt your back at a 45-degree angle.
"Can I sit down for a while?" asked Chen Chi, pointing to the mattress.
"Of course. The landlady said enthusiastically.
Chen Chi sat down, looked up at the window, thoughtful. He retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Shuangxia, who had a light smile on her face, obviously liking it very much.
"I'm sorry, when I bought the bed, I thought that a single bed was more practical, but now it's hard to change. I can change the room layout and put the two beds together. The landlady looked at Chen Chi and said quickly.
Xu Shuang blushed and stammered: "No, no, I live alone, my husband will only come over on weekends, and not every weekend." ā
The landlady seemed a little surprised by the separation between the two of them, but nodded with a smile and didn't ask more.
"The bathroom is on the second floor and you need to share it with us. Would you like to take a look?"
The bathroom used by the residents was very tidy, and Xu Shuang glanced at it and was still satisfied.
The landlady took them to the living room on the ground floor again. "If my companion and I are not at home, I would like the people who come in to take care of the garden for me, don't worry, the garden is not big, just need to water it a little and we will pay you." Is there a problem with this?"
Xu Shuangjiang looked sideways at the glass door leading to the garden, with a smile on her face: "It's no problem at all, I like flowers and plants." ā
The landlady seemed very happy and satisfied with Xu Shuangchuan, and was about to talk about the payment method of rent, when a woman opened the door and came in, holding a large shopping bag. The landlord paused, confessed, and stepped forward to help catch it.
Chen Chi took the opportunity to look at Xu Shuangchuan and shook his head slightly.
Xu Shuangchuan pursed his lips slightly, very complaining, why is Chen Chi dissatisfied again?
"Let me introduce you, this is my companion. The landlady walked up to the two with the woman and said.
Xu Shuangchuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard his companion call him, but his face didn't show it at all, for fear that the other party would mind.
The woman said "hi", stared at Xu Shuang and looked at it, and said in a hesitant tone: "Have we met?"
Xu Shuangchuan was a little confused when asked.
"My name is Frenica, and I seem to have seen you somewhere. ā
Xu Shuangchuan remembered it now, and she dared to love the eldest sister she met when she was working in the summer last year. "Susie, my name is Susie, we met last year and I was pruning the branches and leaves. She laughed.
Frenica smiled and reached out to shake it, her voice raised, "I'm so glad to see you, how are you?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Frenica asked directly, "Susie, are you satisfied with our house? ā
This is a very enthusiastic expression, Xu Shuangchuan smiled, turned his head to look at Chen Chi, and asked with his eyes.
"Let's think about it, can we call before five o'clock in the afternoon?" Chen Chi answered.
"Absolutely. ā
Bidding farewell to Frenika and the landlady, Xu Shuangchuan was puzzled: "Do you think the house is bad? I think it's very good, except for the washing to be shared, the others are the same as a single-door family." She glanced at Chen Chi and said vaguely, "They live on the second floor, and I live upstairs, so they don't affect each other." ā
Chen Chi was noncommittal, and only said: "It's more partial, if you come back late and take this way, I don't worry, forget it." ā
"I try not to walk at night, and besides, once the road is familiar, it's no big problem. ā
Chen Chi frowned and turned to Xu Shuangshui, and said seriously: "Shuangshuang, I don't want you to live in the attic." ā
"But this attic is no different from an ordinary room, it is more spacious than the one I saw before, and the layout inside is new. ā
"Frost, I won't come here very often after all, you basically live alone. Chen Chi couldn't think of the scene of Xu Shuangchuan sitting alone on the edge of the bed and looking out the window, so he couldn't think about it. Living alone is already lonely, and coupled with the cramped feeling of the attic view, she will only be more lonely. "Shuangshuang, in fact, your current apartment is very good, there are many people, you are used to living again, I am used to living too, don't change places, you are not suitable to live with other people's families alone. ā
"Why is it inappropriate?" Xu Shuangchuan muttered, trying to correct Chen Chi's thoughts, but Chen Chi finally mentioned a little bit and made her stop.
"Frost, you women in a room, I'll be cramped when I come to see you. ā
Even looking at the two houses, they were rejected by Chen Chi, Xu Shuang returned to the apartment in a daze, just in time to catch up with the girl next door and Afia using the kitchen. Xu Shuang went down to pour Chen Chi a drink, and saw that the countertop was wiped clean, two packs of flour were opened, two or three round plates were opened, and oil-blotting paper was placed on it very elegantly.
Afia was holding a large stainless steel bowl in her hand, holding a whisk to stir the batter inside. The girl next door was standing by the stove, holding a pan and spreading the rolls.
Xu Shuangchuan ate such pancakes when she was a child, but when her mother made them for her, she would be more particular, adding eggs to the flour paste, and sometimes cutting fresh Qingming vegetables or grass into fine pieces and mixing them in. This is the only way to make noodles in her family other than wontons, and she can't help but take a second look at the pan and comment in her heart that the taste of the pastry they make will be very bland.
Afia and the girl next door were in a stance, obviously looking like they were going to do a lot.
"We're going to a party in the evening. Afia said happily.
The girl next door turned the cake with a focused face, and just lifted her eyelids to look at Xu Shuang.
Xu Shuangchuan was very speechless about this girl, but there are thousands of people in the world, there are many people of all kinds, and self-centered people are not once or twice for her, anyway, such people will not leave any waves in her heart at all, and she is not uncommon for people to smile, and only smiled at Afia at the moment and replied: "You are preparing food for the party?" ā
She was very indifferent in front of outsiders, and when she returned to Chen Chi, she was immediately delicate, and said with a flat mouth: "Are you hungry? Let's drink some water first, people will occupy the kitchen first." Why don't you look elsewhere?"
"It's okay to eat later. Chen Chi hugged her, patted her shoulder and comforted, "Shuangshuang, don't think about moving, let's stay up like this for two years." It's good here, I'm not here, you can still be lively. ā
The sunset shone into the window, and Xu Shuang leaned on Chen Chi's chest, complaining for a while. Chen Chi said that there was a faint disturbance, but she laughed softly, this level of disturbance did not cause her any pain. Chen Chi had to put her in the crowd of people in the student apartment, so he felt relieved, he would rather be lively and noisy than quiet and private, so she would save effort and obey.
Xu Shuangchuan has since put his mind on moving away. (To be continued.) )
