Chapter 238: A New Home

When he arrived at the place, George got out of the car first, and the driver opened the door for Cui Can. George had already taken his luggage and was standing there. "Thank you George!"

"You're welcome, it's an honor to serve such a beautiful lady."

In front of him was a small villa, and at this time there was a faint light in the villa, and it was obvious that there were people inside. Perhaps it was a sound outside, or perhaps it was notified by someone, the door facing the street slowly opened from the inside, and a well-dressed oriental man walked out from inside. Looking at the age of 50, his hair is meticulously combed. Seeing Cui Can and George standing at the gate, they were only stunned for a moment, and nodded politely to the two.

"Hello, welcome Miss Cui." Is this clearly a stewardship? This made Cui Can a little surprised, Chen Jiu actually equipped himself with a housekeeper? Are you afraid of living here alone? But why should I arrange an aunt or something? The careful-eyed Chen Jiu has changed sex?

"Hello, I'm Cui Can." Cui Can took a step forward.

"Miss Cui, please come with me." The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper stretched out his hand and motioned for Cui Can to follow him into the house.

Cui Can looked at him, then at George. "I just came here today, and everything is not ready yet, so I won't invite you into the house, how about I invite you to eat the Chinese food I made another day?"

In the car, the two had already exchanged each other's contact information, so Cui Can was not worried about not being able to contact George.

George nodded, "Okay, I hope you can enjoy your life in England, and if there is anything I can help, just ask." I'm waiting for you to invite me to eat the Chinese food you made. ”

"Okay, I'll send out the invitation as soon as possible. I hope you and John will appreciate the face. ”

"Oh, and that foodie John? I thought I was the only one who could eat your handiwork? George laughed, "Okay. I'll bring that foodie John with me. After speaking, he nodded with Cui Can, and then turned around and returned to the car that the driver pulled away.

Seeing the car drive away from the street, Cui Can turned around and followed the middle-aged man into the yard. It's a typical European-style villa, so the yard is not big, but it's exquisite. The road is paved with cobblestones, and look at the green that emerges from the cracks in the stones. Obviously, this road has a certain history. In front of the windowsill is a set of stone tables and stools, and the color of the stone tables is also very old. There is no vegetable garden in the yard, but a small flower bed. At the base of the wall are clusters of roses. Although Britain is warmer than China this season, it is not yet time for the flowers to bloom. However, the prosperity in the small courtyard made Cui Can like it at a glance.

The person who followed the housekeeper into the house found that this villa was not only ancient in appearance. Even the inside is very old. The first thing that catches your eye is the tall fireplace. Although it was cleaned, from its dark inner hall, it was known that it had the same history as this house. The living room is not big, only two double sofas, and a solid wood coffee table. Inside, there is a small kitchen, and it is clear that the original owner of this place likes to eat good food. At this time, there was a middle-aged woman busy in the kitchen, and Cui Can only saw a back. She didn't bother either. Continue to look at the surroundings.

There are two more rooms downstairs, depending on the location. It should be a storage room and a washroom. In the corner of the wall was a wooden staircase, and the butler was waiting there with Cui Can's luggage. Cui Can quickened his pace and followed him upstairs.

On the north side of the second floor is a corridor, which is not long, with only three rooms that look like bedrooms. On the other side of the stairs, there are two other rooms, presumably bedrooms or something. The housekeeper continued to walk up with his luggage, and it was obvious that Cui Can's bedroom was on the third floor. It's the same as her bedroom at home, on the third floor.

It's just that the house is not tall, so the whole space seems compact and compact. The stairs stop when you reach the third floor, which is obviously the highest in this area. The third floor is smaller than the second floor, with the appearance of three rooms, but the rooms are much larger than the second floor. Cui Can's room was in the farthest room, and the housekeeper opened the door and motioned Cui Can to follow his footsteps into the room. Cui Can saw the room where he was about to stay for a year, and the decoration in the room was very ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the things here are all low-key luxury accessories. For example, this big bed, if you are not mistaken, should have been up to 300 years. For another example, the dresser, although it is not like many historical dressers I have seen, has a typical European style, and the pulp reflected in the wood also really explains its history. Another example,...... In short, not a single item in this room is no less than a hundred years old. This is really low-key luxury, and I don't know where Chen Jiu got this.

"Miss, you can rest in the house first, and I'll go downstairs to see if the cook's dinner is ready?" The housekeeper didn't stay to see if Cui Can liked this room, maybe he had confidence in this room and the things in this room, so he sent Cui Can to the place, and then said goodbye and went downstairs.

After Cui Can took a closer look at his room, he pushed open the door of the bathroom again, and what caught his eye was a simple and atmospheric bathtub. If it weren't for the fact that there was only himself here, Cui Can really suspected that this bathtub was for two people or even more. And then there's the hand basin, which, although meandering along the tub, is self-contained, but doesn't let people ignore its style.

Cui Can just liked this bathroom at a glance, although the things here are expensive but not ancient. Looking at the appearance of the bathtub, it should have its own massage function, obviously this is a modern product, or a modern product for people to enjoy.

Everything in the house let Cui Can know that the person who arranged all this was very attentive, so at this time she began to miss the person who arranged all this for herself.

I walked back to my room and saw the antique phone that was placed at the head of the bed. picked it up and called Chen Jiu. "Hey, is it Brilliant?" As soon as the phone rang, it was picked up by Chen Jiu, who had been waiting, and looked at the number and asked excitedly.

"It's me, have you been waiting for a call?" It's evening on my side, so isn't it early in the morning? This guy really didn't know how to express her feelings.

"Hmm. If your call doesn't come, how can I sleep with peace of mind? You okay? Although Cui Can didn't say it, he clearly felt her concern for him.

"I'm fine. Rest early, call me when you're done. The time difference between the two places is seven or eight hours, and when he sleeps well, he also happens to be noon, and the two can have a good chat at that time.

"Okay, have you had dinner?" Although he promised to be good, he didn't hang up the phone. Chen Jiu also wanted to continue to hear her voice. Although the two of them are usually resting at this time, but now that they are separated from each other, they are always a little reluctant in their hearts.

"I'm going to eat it soon. Would you have taken an early break? Although Cui Can has been urging Chen Jiu to rest, he is reluctant to hang up the phone first, holding the phone and listening to the breathing over there. They all seem to be satisfied.

"Good. You go to dinner. By the way, did I tell you? I've got a butler and a cook for you over there. They are husband and wife, Chinese. ”

"......" Cui Can's head was full of black lines, "I just knew." ”

"Hehehe! I've been reluctant to leave you, so I forgot to tell you. Hearing Cui Can's displeasure, Chen Jiu hurriedly laughed, hoping that Cui Can would forget about it.

"What are they called? What is the relationship with you? Cui Can felt his caution, and he didn't want to worry about it with him, it wasn't a big deal.

"The man's name is Chen Cheng. The woman is his wife, just call her sister-in-law Chen. Chen Cheng was born as his grandfather's guard. So it can be completely trusted. His daughter went to England a few years ago, so they followed. It's just that his daughter's conditions are not good, so they can only come out to find a job. It's just that none of them know much English, so it's hard to find a job. My company drove over there, so I found them. They have also served me for a few years, and it is only in the past few years that they have become more fluent in English, so I have entrusted a lot of things to them. ”

After listening to Chen Jiu's explanation, Cui Can understood the identities of Chen Cheng and his wife, and trusted them more in his heart. "Okay, I got it."

"You take a few days off, and then I'll go to school with you when I'm over. I'll be there soon. "Chen Jiu can't wait to appear in front of Cui Can now." Uncle and aunt, they live on your side, I'll go over tomorrow morning and tell them, so don't call and disturb their rest. ”

"Okay, you can rest early."

"Okay, goodbye." The two of them hung up the phone reluctantly, and Cui Can looked at the time, half an hour had passed. It seems that his own dinner should be ready. Sure enough, just when she was about to go out, she saw Chen Cheng, the housekeeper walking in the corridor.

"Miss Cui, dinner is ready." Although he was born as a security guard, Cui Can felt that he was more suitable for the title of housekeeper, and he couldn't see the kind of awakening and agility as a guard at all. Maybe where he can't see, he's still the same alert him, right?

The two went downstairs and saw Sister-in-law Chen standing in the living room. Chen Cheng said: "Miss Cui, this is my wife and the cook in this house. It's okay for you to call her Sister-in-law Chen like the young master, I'm Chen Cheng. ”

Cui Can nodded, "My name is Cui Can, you can call me Cui Can, Miss Cui is the title of a guest, I don't think we are the relationship between the host and the guest." ”

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, and his wife just laughed, looking like a person with no temper. "Cui Can, how about trying my craft? I don't know what you like, I heard that you are from the Northeast, so I made some stews and stir-fries, I hope you like it. ”

"Well, I've been smelling the fragrance for a long time, and my stomach is growling now." Cui Can was not polite and sat on a chair in the dining room.

Chen Cheng and Sister-in-law Chen did not sit, but helped set the dishes and serve the rice. Cui Can looked at the sumptuous six-course dishes and felt that his taste buds were awakened. Obviously, this sister-in-law Chen's craftsmanship is very good, and she will be blessed in the future.

"Why don't you sit?" Looking at Chen Cheng and Sister-in-law Chen, who were still standing there, Cui Can's head was full of doubts.

"You eat, we'll eat later." It was Chen Cheng who opened his mouth, and Sister-in-law Chen just accompanied the smiling face, obviously Chen Cheng also had the final say in their family.

Cui Can frowned, "I don't know what happened to you here, and I don't care about your past. I'm a very casual person, coming from a socialist country, so I don't like these obvious things about the class. From now on, we will be a family, so when it's time to eat, sit down and eat together. You can say whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about each other's identities at all, because we are all the same identity, and there is no distinction between high and low. ”

Although Cui Can is already a rich man, he does not have that kind of pride in his bones. Looking at Chen Cheng's frowning brows, she didn't care about him, but pulled the embarrassed sister-in-law Chen and sat next to her. In the end, Chen Cheng also sat down on the other side of Cui Can.

"Is that right? We are Chinese, why should we learn those rules of foreigners? Cui Can happily helped the couple bring the meal, and when they were about to stand up, they pressed it down again.

"I'm here for the first time today and I appreciate the meals you guys have prepared for me, I'm hungry, so you're welcome. Let's go, right? After sitting down, Cui Can picked up the chopsticks, said politely, and began to eat.

Chen Cheng and Sister-in-law Chen glanced at each other and followed suit.

Sister-in-law Chen's craftsmanship is just like Cui Can thought, it is really great. If it weren't for Cui Can's desire to live a peaceful life of studying abroad, she really wanted to partner with Sister-in-law Chen to open a Chinese restaurant. This level, not blowing it yourself, really has a fight with those chefs. Look at Chen Cheng, he looks like a shrewd face, why didn't he think of opening a Chinese restaurant by himself?

I asked when I thought of it, so Cui Can didn't leave these questions for the night. After dinner, Cui Can asked, "Uncle Chen, why don't you open a Chinese restaurant with Sister-in-law Chen?" It's impossible for you not to know Sister-in-law Chen's craftsmanship, right? ”

Chen Cheng just glanced at Cui Can and didn't speak, but Sister-in-law Chen sighed. "We used to think about it, but the rent here is too expensive, especially in Chinatown, and we can't afford it. Later, we gritted our teeth and rented a place, and as soon as we opened it today, we were targeted. Hey, in short, it's hard to put into words. ”

Sister-in-law Chen didn't say the specific reason, and although Cui Can was curious, she didn't mean to ask about people's privacy. He nodded and didn't ask again.

Chen Cheng said: "It's not early, you just came over, you still need to reverse the jet lag, hurry up and rest, right?" There was no expression on his face, and even the tone of his voice did not change, but it made Cui Can feel his concern. (To be continued......)
