Chapter Twenty-Five: Up to the Hall and Down to the Kitchen
When Su Qian opened her eyes and saw the time on her phone, like a frightened rabbit, she sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and a shy blush swelled up on her fair face.
"Oh, it's half past ten, how can I sleep like a pig! It's over, it's over, Chen Mo, that guy doesn't know how to laugh at me! Su Qian nervously tied her long hair and skillfully tied it into a ponytail, while muttering in her mouth, her movements were neat and tight.
But when Su Qian packed up and walked out of the bedroom, she found that there was no one outside, and the note on the dining table was very eye-catching.
"Look at you sleeping soundly, it didn't bother you. I can't accompany you to buy things in the morning, there is a phone call from the factory, there is a technical problem that I need to solve, and it is estimated that I can come back at half past eleven at noon. In addition, there is porridge I boiled for you in the kitchen, as well as other things, which you can eat as soon as it is hot. ”
The signature is Chen Mo.
After washing, Su Qian walked into the kitchen and opened the stainless steel pot placed on the gas stove, which was Su Qian's favorite porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, but unfortunately it was already cold, which made Su Qian feel even more embarrassed. There was also a plate on the stove covered by a gauze, and when the gauze was lifted, there was a plate of half-fried yellow-orange-orange steamed bread slices and two fried eggs, which were also cold and cold.
"I can't see that this guy is still a good housekeeper!" Su Qian playfully picked up a piece of cold fried steamed bread, put it in her mouth and took a bite, although it was cold, she still couldn't resist the delicious taste from her taste buds. The thin and suitable steamed bread slices are wrapped in a layer of fried browned egg white, although it is not so crispy because of the long time, but the faint salty taste and the unique aroma of the eggs still make this simple fried steamed bread slices have an appetizing taste.
Just slept what can be called the most comfortable sleep in more than forty days, Su Qian's spirit was very full, although her stomach was a little protesting, but Su Qian didn't move the other breakfasts, and gently sucked the oil-stained index finger and thumb in her mouth, Su Qian opened the refrigerator next to her.
The refrigerator was not as empty as Su Qian imagined, but stuffed with all kinds of ingredients, all wrapped in plastic wrap, neatly sorted, obviously, the owner of this house is a guy who is very good at satisfying his appetite.
Su Qian is like a happy little swallow, she began to be busy in the kitchen, not much effort, four dishes have been prepared, two cold and two hot, cold dishes and other condiments such as salt and sesame oil can be sprinkled with condiments when eating, and then mixed with hot dishes, and the hot dishes should be put into the pot when the meal is about to open.
Add a little hot water to the remaining preserved egg and lean pork porridge, then put the steamed bread slices and steamed buns taken out of the refrigerator on the grate in the pot, turn on the fire, heat it first, and then you don't have to grab the stove with the frying spoon.
Looking at the watch, there was still half an hour until half past eleven, Su Qian simply washed her hands and began to carefully look at Chen Mo's house.
The cleanliness of the room made Su Qian nod with satisfaction, the house where a single man lives can be so clean, there seems to be no such thing in Su Qian's impression.
Several photo frames on the bookshelf attracted Su Qian's attention, in the middle of the photo frame is a group photo of four people, an elderly couple, a middle-aged woman and a teenage child, all four of them are smiling quite brightly, it must be a family photo of Chen Mo when he was a child, why is there no Chen Mo's father?
In the frame on the left is a photo of eighteen or nineteen-year-old Chen Mo and his mother. At that time, Chen Mo looked much sunnier than now, although he looked young, but he was a handsome little boy; Although his mother is old, she is still so gentle and atmospheric, and she must have been a very beautiful woman when she was young.
In the photo frame on the right, there is a photo of Chen Mo and a beautiful girl, looking at the age, it should be when Chen Mo was in college. The two people in the photo were smiling quite brightly and sweetly, which made Su Qian's heart tingle.
Who is she?
Standing in front of the photo for a long time, Su Qian shook her head vigorously and walked out, as soon as she entered the living room, the table in the corner of the small living room attracted Su Qian's attention.
The table was not big, but the furnishings on the table made Su Qian recognize what it was doing at a glance. On the wall above the table hangs a black-and-white photo of a pair of smiling elderly people who are very kind, needless to say, the two in the photo should be the elderly people in the family photo I just saw. Below this photo, there are also two photo frames, inside which are also two black and white photos, one is Chen Mo's mother, and the other is the beautiful girl I just saw.
On the table in front of the three frames are a variety of snacks, fruits, and a small copper incense burner, filled with incense ash.
For a moment, Su Qian was stunned. She bit her lip vigorously and slowly closed her eyes.
What a blow this man had suffered before!
After a long time, Su Qian opened her eyes, picked up the incense on the small table with trembling hands, lit three, bowed reverently, inserted it into the incense burner, and then turned around and walked to the kitchen.
Just poured the last dish out of the frying spoon, there was a sound of a key opening the door from the door, needless to say, Chen Mo came back.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Mo exaggerated his nose and shouted in a fuss: "Fragrant, really fragrant!" Blessed at noon! As he spoke, he walked directly to the dining table and stretched out his hand, pinched a piece of braised pork, and swallowed it in one gulp, regardless of the hot mouth.
Su Qian smiled and gently tapped Chen Mo's hand with her hand, and said angrily: "What an old person, how can you still look like a child." Go wash your hands, the meal is ready! ”
"Okay!" Chen Mo changed his clothes with a smile, ran to the bathroom with a smoke, and ran out again after a while, sat down at the dinner table, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Not bad, good in the hall, down in the kitchen, my brother accidentally picked up a daughter-in-law, it turned out to be the legendary best!" Is this my brother's vision good, or his vision, or his vision? ”
"Go! Look at the way you look! Su Qianjiao was angry.
A plate of cold shredded potatoes, a plate of cold cucumber slices, a plate of fried braised pork with Hangzhou pepper, a plate of sweet and sour tenderloin, red, yellow and green together, it is very good-looking, as for the taste, it definitely does not need to be mentioned, look at Chen Mo after stealing that piece of braised pork just now, and now the cheeks are still chewing.
After Su Qian brought the rice cooker, Chen Mo stood up, walked to the small table in the corner of the living room, and was about to put on incense, but found that the three incense sticks in the incense burner were about to burn, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head, lit the three incense sticks again, and returned to sit at the dining table after inserting them.
Seeing Su Qian looking at herself with a complicated face, Chen Mo grinned and said, "That's grandpa, grandma, my mother, and my former girlfriend." My grandma was the earliest, I left when I was eleven years old, my grandfather was when I was fourteen, and my mother was four years ago when I was a sophomore, liver cancer. As for my girlfriend."
Shook his head and exhaled deeply, "During the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she went home, her home was from Shonan Province, and she had to take a bus to get there after getting off the train, but the bus fell down the ravine on the way, and only more than 20 of the more than 40 people on the car survived, and she didn't rescue it."
Su Qian stood up, walked to Chen Mo's side, reached out and gently put Chen Mo's head in her arms, and said softly: "It's all over, don't think so much about it"
"That time I was going to go back with her, but because my mother's funeral had just been completed at that time, my uncle and my aunt still needed to deal with something, so she went back by herself, and she never saw her again!"
Su Qian gently patted Chen Mo's back again.
Chen Mo raised his head, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and said, "Su Qian, don't worry about me, it's been so long, I've been used to it for a long time." Come, let's eat, I'm hungry! ”
Su Qian smiled slightly, let go of Chen Mo, sat down in her seat, picked up the chopsticks, and began to grab the dishes on the plate with Chen Mo.
Trying hard to swallow the last piece of braised pork, Chen Mo leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, patted his belly, and said with a smile: "It's so delicious, I haven't eaten such a delicious dish for a long time!" ”
Su Qian looked at the empty four plates, her face was also filled with a proud smile, she stood up, took the teapot and tea leaves placed on the side of the dining table, brewed the tea, took a cup and put it in front of Chen Mo, and then began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.
Looking at Su Qian's busy figure, Chen Mo picked up the teacup and blew, took a small sip, and asked, "Su Qian, how did you come all the way from Suzhou to Yanjing alone?" ”
Su Qian's busy back paused slightly, continued to be busy, and said without looking back: "I just graduated from college, and I fell out with my family, so I ran out by myself." ”
Chen Mo playfully fiddled with the teacup and asked, "What, it won't be your mother who introduced you to you, right?" ”
Su Qian's figure paused again, then let out a faint "um", thought about it, and continued: "It's not my mother who introduced me to someone, it's my father!" ”
Chen Mo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's been so long, don't tell me you don't want to go home!" ”
Su Qian suddenly seemed to have a deep hatred for those dishes and chopsticks, and pushed all the plates and chopsticks into the sink, making a "sparse" sound.
"I said Miss, the plates and bowls are all porcelain, you make it like this, be careful to break and cut your hands!"
"You have to take care of it!"
Chen Moha smiled and said, "If you are homesick, go back and have a look, if not, I will go back with you, how good it is to have parents!" But don't be like me, you can only talk to photos all day long! ”
Su Qian's figure stiffened again, and then didn't say anything, and began to wash up the dishes and chopsticks, and the room fell silent for a while.
