Chapter 138: Old House, New Life

Unexpectedly, the car actually drove into the Splendid Garden Community, a familiar place for Jialan. This is the first place she lived in after graduating from college. Jia Lan followed them to Building 9, took the elevator up to the twelfth floor, and walked into a suite she knew very well.

"We'll live here from now on." The old lady said to Jialan.

"yes, okay." Garan replied. This answer surprised the old lady, she thought that Jialan would definitely protest and want to go to the Clear Water Bay Villa, how to say that it was the Su family, and this was just private property after all. Jialan's generosity made her impressed, but then she thought that Jialan must not know that the Su family had a villa, otherwise she would definitely go to the Su family.

Of course, she didn't know that she didn't live in Clear Water Bay, but took advantage of Jialan's wish. Jialan was originally reluctant to live with the mother and daughter, and her cold words alone made her unbearable to wear small shoes. Now it's okay, you can live alone, and you don't have to face the mother and daughter, which is finally a blessing in misfortune.

In the evening, my father actually came to eat together. In addition to the blood relationship, this temporary combination did not know each other's ancestors and grandchildren at all, and they finished a dinner in harmony.

Jia Lan didn't talk much, in this familiar place but surrounded by strangers. In line with the principle of talking less and doing more, after eating, he got up to help clean up his things, and diligently wanted to go into the kitchen to help wash the dishes, but was called by the old lady, "Aunt Lin is there to wash the dishes, you don't need to wash them." The daughter of our Su family doesn't have to do housework, so she doesn't have to grind her hands. ”

Jia Lan stopped and didn't speak, but said in her heart: Is the daughter of the Su family delicate? The daughter of the Su family in front of you hasn't been washing dishes since she was a child, she has been washing for more than ten years, and she hasn't seen her hands become thicker, isn't it still a pair of slender hands.

"Do you know how to make tea? Your dad likes to drink a cup of Tieguanyin after dinner, you go and make a pot for him. The old lady looked at Jialan in a daze and called.

If this is in Jiaqian, she will definitely be unhappy, there is a nanny at home, why do you call her. But Jialan didn't feel anything wrong, how the elders spoke, what tone they took, as long as it wasn't a personal attack, in fact, she could tolerate it. And she has always felt that it is normal to help her elders do something.

"But I'm not good at making tea," Jialan said with a little embarrassment, she learned a lot of wine tasting methods at the Charm Club, but she didn't learn how to make tea, and she really didn't know how to start for a while.

The old lady glanced at Jialan and muttered, "I can't even make tea, so what will happen?" "For the old lady, some trivial things in life will not be poured, because she has a nanny at home to do, but these things related to the quality of life can't be noted, otherwise she will go out and lose her job.

However, Father Su didn't mind at all, and took over and said, "I'll teach you, making tea is very simple, and you can learn it as soon as you learn it." ”

So Su's father began to pour water into the kettle, boiled the water, and scalded the tea set first after boiling the water. Then another pot of water was boiled, and while the water was boiling, the tea leaves were put into the tea set with tweezers. Father Su was operating on the side, and while explaining to Jialan:

The brewing method of Tieguanyin tea is unique and self-contained. First of all, we must strictly control the three passes of water, tea set, and brewing. "The water is better with a stone spring, the furnace is better with a charcoal fire, and the tea set is small as the best." Brewing can be divided into eight stages according to its procedure:

1. Crane bathing (cup washing): wash the tea set with boiling water;

2. Guanyin enters the palace (falling tea): Put Tieguanyin into the tea set, and the amount of tea accounts for about five points of the tea set's capacity;

3. Hanging pot high flush (tea): Raise the boiling water into the teapot or lid to make the tea turn.

4. Spring breeze blowing (messy foam): Gently scrape off the floating white foam with a pot lid or ou lid to make it fresh and clean;

5. Guan Gong patrols the city (pouring tea): pour the tea water after brewing for one or two minutes into the teacups side by side;

6 Han Xin Dianbing (tea): When the tea is poured to a little, it should be evenly dripped into each teacup little by little;

7. Appreciating the color of the soup (looking at the tea): Taste the color of the tea in the cup;

8. Lu Sip Ganlin (drink tea): Take the hot sip, first smell its fragrance, then taste its taste, sniff while sipping, and drink lightly. Although the amount of drink is not much, it can leave a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, only the bottom is sweet, the heart is relaxed, and there is no fun.

Jia Lan was dazzled by the sidelines, and she realized that making tea was also a science. She originally thought it was very simple, like making instant coffee, just put the tea leaves in the teacup and brew it with boiling water, but she didn't expect that there were so many steps, and it seemed that there were too many things to learn.

After Father Su finished speaking, seeing that Jialan was eager to try, he moved out of the way and let Jialan try to soak it. Jia Lan really learned quickly, and made the tea out very regularly according to the steps that Father Su had just taken.

"Remember to make the tea quickly, just brew it for a minute or two before you can pour it. Tieguanyin is different from other teas, it can't be brewed for too long, and it will lose its taste after brewing for a long time. Other teas are different, such as West Lake Longjing, Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, etc., because the tea making process is different, there are different ways to make tea. I used to love to drink West Lake Longjing, but then I changed my taste after drinking Tieguanyin. "Looking at Jialan's studious appearance, Father Su explained.

Although this daughter hasn't had much contact with herself, the way she looks at her learning things is very similar to when she was a child. Compared with Jia Qian, who has been fighting by his side since he was a child, Jia Lan seems to be more like him, with a temperament, temperament, and even studiousness. Father Su's impression of Jialan is getting better and better.

Jialan put the brewed tea in front of the old lady and her father, and watched her father taste the tea, only to feel that drinking tea is sometimes a kind of enjoyment, and drinking is a feeling.

"Your grandmother doesn't drink Tieguanyin, she's afraid she won't be able to sleep. She likes to drink some Pu'er tea. Father Su looked at the unmoved cup in front of the old lady and said, then turned his head sideways and said to the old lady, "Mom, I'll go buy some good Pu'er tomorrow, and you can drink some at home if you have nothing to do." ”

"I don't have to buy it, I have some of my own. When I came back, I brought it back, and in my luggage bag, I just asked Aunt Lin to take it out. The old lady was very relieved to see that her son still remembered her preferences, so she said happily.

For so many years, because of Jialan's mother's affairs, their mother and son have been estranged, and they rarely stay together so leisurely. And because of the unconscious daughter-in-law at home, she simply can't see it and rarely lives at home, so she spends less time with her son.

Now that he has Jialan, his son will definitely come over often, because this is also one of his homes, so that he can take the opportunity to get closer to his son. When the old lady thought about this, she was very happy, and her eyes were no longer as critical as before.

"The banquet is tomorrow night, Jialan, you just ask for leave tomorrow, don't go to work in the company, I'll take you to buy some clothes and shoes." The old lady said kindly. She looked at the clothes on Jialan's body, and she was embarrassed to wear a shirt of dozens of yuan. Jia Qian's clothes have never been less than four figures, and she will never wear such a stall.

Jialan raised her eyes and looked at her father, and saw that her father also agreed, and she wanted to refuse, so she agreed, "Okay, I'll call the manager to ask for leave now." To be honest, Jia Lan has only been working for a few months, but the time off seems to add up to a lot, especially the rumor, she took two weeks off, and now she has to take leave, she is a little embarrassed.

Father Su sat for a while, then got up and said, "Mom, ask Aunt Lin to clean up a room tomorrow, I will come over to stay for a few days when I have time, now I will go back first, and I will come to pick you up tomorrow." With that, he went back. Of course he didn't dare to stay here for the night, he would stay here for the night now, and it would be strange if the mother and daughter in the family didn't fall out.

The old lady was a little reluctant, but Jialan didn't feel it at all. She wasn't used to this cheap father at all. The two of them said a few more words, and Jialan saw that the old lady seemed to be tired, so she persuaded her to go back to her room and sleep, and then helped her in.

The master bedroom is very large, and there is a small bed next to the big bed, Jialan knows that this should be Aunt Lin's bed, it turns out that Aunt Lin follows the old lady, not only responsible for her three meals and travel, but also sleeps in a room with the old lady at night, completely serving herself.

Sending the old lady back to the room, Jia Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to her room, which was still the second bedroom with a smiling balcony. She first took out a few clothes from the bag, hung them in the closet, took out the notebook, and her own skin care products, and put them on the dresser.

Looking around, this familiar and unfamiliar place, I want her to live here with her mother for a few months, and be happy. And now it's back, but it's a pity that I feel like I'm under the fence when I come back to live, just because I don't have a mother.

She suddenly missed her mother a little, so she called her. Tell her where she lives, her grandmother and father treat her very well, and say that they will take her out to buy clothes tomorrow and attend a banquet tomorrow night. Jialan reports good news and does not report bad news, so naturally he will not say his inner uneasiness, but only say good. In this way, the mother was a little more relieved.

But now that her mother has a companion, Jialan can also feel at ease with her. If it was before, she would definitely be a hundred worried, but now with Uncle Zhang, her mother should soon get used to the days without her. And by himself, he should be stronger and work hard to adapt to the new life, Jialan encouraged himself.

That night, because of the change of environment and the confusion about the future, Jialan couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning. I finally fell asleep, but I didn't expect to be woken up by the old lady in the morning.

"It's half past six, it's time to get up, our Su family doesn't have lazy worms." The old lady shouted outside.

Jia Lan turned over, raised her misty eyes, and looked at the watch next to her, it was only half past six. She thought that she didn't have to get up early to ask for leave today, and she could sleep a little longer, but the old lady had already called several times, and she really didn't dare to sleep, so she got up.

Sleepy-eyed, he opened the door and walked out, and saw that the old lady had already cleaned up and was sitting in the living room with nothing to do. "Good morning, grandma." Jialan said hello and went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time she packed up, it was already seven o'clock, just in time for breakfast.
