Chapter 174: A Late Night Call
Qiao Yichen pinched his fork and tasted the noodles: "The rice cooked by my wife is really delicious." β
"Mr. Qiao's expression is too exaggerated, it looks so fake......" I held my chin and smiled at Qiao Yichen.
"I mean really." Qiao Yichen reached over and grabbed the plate in front of me, "If you don't eat it, give it to me......"
"Hey...... I didn't make it for me, too much? I clapped Qiao Yichen's hand away.
"Then you eat quickly, or I'll grab you when I'm done eating." Qiao Yichen raised his eyebrows at me, "Baby, you look at me so directly, my husband can't hold my ......"
...... "The absolute 'thought is born from the heart', I am looking at Qiao Yichen, but the chaos of 'straight hook' is definitely his own YY, how wronged I am."
The dinner I made was all eaten, and there were no side dishes left, I asked Qiao Yichen if he was not full with some heart, he only replied with one sentence, and I was directly pushed into the kitchen to wash the dishes, "It doesn't matter if the rice is enough to eat, as long as you can continue to eat the cook's mother" What a strange idea!
I nested in the sofa and swiped the screen in the circle of friends with the beautiful pictures of the sea under the sea taken in the afternoon, which made Xiaoxiang scream, and I regret that I didn't dive last time I came to play. I deliberately teased her and told her to come over right away. With the character of Xiaoxiang's action faction, if it weren't for Zhuang Peng, it is estimated that he would be able to kill him tomorrow. I heard the sound of grinding metal, and followed the sound to look overβ
The oversized toolbox that Qiao Yichen brought back just now has been opened, and there seem to be a lot of strange tools in it, at this moment Qiao Yichen's white T-shirt is covered with a coarse cloth apron, and a small bottom support is sandwiched with special tweezers in one hand, and the small tool in the other hand is polished. Qiao Yichen is like a craftsman in a handicraft workshop at this time, his facial features like a knife and axe are even sharper under the bright light, and there are no dead ends in the real 360 degrees.
Qiao Yichen's fingers flexibly used small pliers to heat and plasticize the polished wire, and then polished the desired shape little by little, and then put the pearls picked in the afternoon into the finished crown shaped flower tray and wrapped it, and after making a closed fixation, the flower holder was polished and polished with a polishing strip, and the finished crown pearl pendant shone in the light. The process took nearly an hour, and Qiao Yichen always carried out every step carefully, without the slightest impatience. And I watched for a moment, completely stunned.
After the pendant was ready, Qiao Yichen took out a small cloth bag from the pocket of his beach pants, poured out a thin platinum necklace from it, and hung the finished pendant on it, and then gently breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at me. Seeing that I was also looking at him, he quickly took off his apron and walked over, and shook the necklace in front of me: "I made it myself." β
"Hmm." I nodded, and I couldn't tell how touched I was. Qiao Yichen's fingers usually hold a pen to sign, but sometimes it is as if he has studied magic, mixing milk, cooking rice, and even making a necklace. Qiao Yichen's magic is rarely seen, and I consider myself lucky enough to always be struck by this kind of magic that carries a lot of love.
Qiao Yichen reached out and pulled me into his arms, pressed my head on his shoulder, then brushed my hair and put the necklace around my neck: "I just went to the jewelry workshop and asked, and this method was told to me by the old craftsman, saying that this way it will not appear that the pearl is not big enough." He also taught me how to make a base. Finding out that I was so quick to get started, I wanted to take me as an apprentice. β
"Then we stay here, and you will be the master of jewelry." I deliberately teased Qiao Yichen.
"Then you're going to drink the northwest wind, and the jewelry I made has to be kept for my baby." Qiao Yichen kissed my lips, "This necklace can fit into your treasure box, I made it myself." β
"Well, I'll hide in a box when I get back." I nodded.
"I think you've been wearing it." Qiao Yichen pinched my cheek, "I have mastered this craft, and I will do something else for you in the future." β
"Hahaha...... Master Qiao......"
"You dare to make fun of me, see how I punish you......" Qiao Yichen came over.
"I was wrong...... It's not Master Qiao...... Mr. Qiao...... Mr. Qiao...... Okay...... "I immediately raised my hands in surrender."
"No...... Call my husband ......" Qiao Yichen bit my ear and threatened.
"Husband...... Husband...... Hmm...... "I was frightened by Qiao Yichen's incredibly fast movements," I said it all...... Why do you want to ...... Punishment ......"
"Silly girl, this is a reward......" Qiao Yichen smiled with a treacherous smile.
In the morning, I was awakened by the smell of fragrant rice porridge, and when I opened my eyes, the sun was already shining. I jumped barefoot and ran into the kitchen. Qiao Yichen was cooking porridge in front of the stove, adding a few pieces of emerald green nine-story pagoda to the pot. I stood on tiptoe and blindfolded Qiao Yichen: "Guess who I am......"
Qiao Yichen pressed a hand on the back of my hand: "My baby? β
"No......" I still won't let go.
"That's ......" Qiao Yichen's tone was full of connivance, "My beautiful wife ......"
"That's not right...... No...... "I deliberately cheated."
"That'sβlazy girl who can't wake up......" Qiao Yichen patted my hand, "let go...... After a while, the porridge was boiled......"
"Oh." I was really tired on tiptoe, so I wrapped my arms around Qiao Yichen and leaned on his back, "Let's go pick up shells later, okay?" β
"What do you want so many shells for?" Qiao Yichen asked.
"Make wind chimes, I see that you have tools in that toolbox that can be drilled." Watching Qiao Yichen make pendants yesterday awakened my enthusiasm for handicraft.
"Want me to punch a hole for you?" Qiao Yichen turned around and pinched my nose, "I want a kiss for a hole." β
"You're sitting on the ground and starting up, drilling ten for a kiss." I started haggling.
"Okay." Qiao Yichen nodded.
"Huh?" I didn't find Qiao Yichen so easy to talk before.
"Drill ten holes and a French kiss......," Qiao Yichen winked at me.
"......" is indeed a profiteer.
"Actually, you don't suffer at all, I have to take you to pick up shells." Qiao Yichen pinched my cheek, "Eat first, I originally wanted to ** egg cake, but there is no electronic scale here, I'm afraid it will be bad." So I had to make sandwiches. β
"I'll ** quiches, I'll make them at night." I happily drank porridge with a bowl in my hand, and it was nice to have a Chinese meal for breakfast.
Over the next few days, I happily picked up shells every day and made them into a lot of thingsβwind chimes, keychains, phone chains, and necklaces. Qiao Yichen's hands are simply dexterous, as long as I tell him what shape he wants to make, he knows where to punch holes, how to link, and then the real thing will be presented in front of my eyes.
In the evening, we sat on the terrace watching the sunset, with several wind chimes we made hanging from the eaves, tinkling in the sea breeze. A blonde couple walked up from a distance, pointed to one of the heart-shaped shells and asked where they had bought it. I told them we did it ourselves, and they asked how much it would cost. Qiao Yichen shook his head at them and told them no. The two men turned away in disappointment.
I stopped them, took the string of wind chimes off, put them in Goldilocks' hands, and smiled at them, "Give it to you." β
"Thank you." The blonde girl was surprised and held the wind chimes, "God will bless you." β
I watched dumbfounded as they walked away holding hands, their backs stretched long by the setting sun. Will God bless us? Hopefully......
"Don't you like that skewer too?" Qiao Yichen hugged me from behind, "Why did you give it away so generously?" β
"Beautiful things should be with people who know how to appreciate them." I turned my head to look at Qiao Yichen, "Besides...... I still have the almighty Master Qiao! β
"Naughty." Qiao Yichen pulled me back to the room, "It's time for us to cook." β
Qiao Yichen took the various ingredients out of the refrigerator, and I began to wash the vegetables......
Now, whether it's doing handicrafts or cooking, we all work together tacitly. I think that if one day, we become nothing, we can live on a small island like this, with one hand. With Qiao Yichen, no matter where you are in the world, you have a sense of belonging and a taste of home.
It rained at night, and the torrential rain in the Indian Ocean was particularly scary, mixed with the sound of waves crashing on the beach, rumbling like a tsunami. Nothing can be done in this weather, so we go to bed early.
In the middle of the night, I heard my phone buzzing. Rubbing his eyes and touching his mobile phone, he was a little surprised when he saw the caller ID: "Hey, Zhen Tezhu ......"
"Ma'am, I'm sorry. Mr. Qiao's phone has not been answered, so I have to bother you. Can you let Mr. Qiao answer the phone, I have something important to tell him. Zhen Yu's speed of speech was very fast, there was definitely something big that he couldn't handle, and Qiao Yichen needed to decide it personally.
"Okay, you wait a minute." I nudged Qiao Yichen gently.
Qiao Yichen slowly opened his eyes and was still sleepy: "Baby, what's wrong?" β
"Zhen Tezhu, I have something to do with you." I put the phone in Qiao Yichen's hand.
Qiao Yichen listened to the phone, and then sat up from the bed. While listening to the phone, he went down ** to find his mobile phone. Before he hung up Zhen Yu's phone, he only explained: "Let Mr. Li's people deal with it first, and I'll go back as soon as possible." β
Later, Qiao Yichen used his mobile phone to make a call, speaking in English, roughly saying that people were going to prepare the plane to return home, and then arranged for a boat to pick us up and take us to the airport. Just now I heard Qiao Yichen tell Zhen Yu that he would rush back as soon as possible, and I was already packing the luggage I brought. It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and it's 6 o'clock in the morning on the Maple City side. But Zhen Yu is a person who does things properly and will not consider the problem of jet lag. Calling at such a time, something big must have happened. My whole body was flustered, not only in a hurry, but also in my heart.
