Politeness is important
When he got out of the car, Yu Siqi glanced at the old-fashioned building in front of him, and felt a lot more down-to-earth in his heart.
After everyone except Gong Chen got out of the car, You Linguang nodded to them, and then drove the car away.
Listening to the sound of the passing car, they led Father Ann to open the rusty lock and pushed the gate open.
The once familiar courtyard has now grown a lot of fresh moss because it has been left untended for a long time. The old bricks were made a little slippery due to a rain they had never seen before.
But aside from these trivial things, returning to a cozy home is something to celebrate for each of them.
Once inside, they all started doing what they wanted to do.
For example, Xie Baozhen, she just went straight to the kitchen. Obviously, he is very interested in those ingredients that are very likely to have rotted and spoiled.
As for Father An, he went upstairs to change his clothes, and by the way, he washed his handkerchief and hung it on the windowsill.
As for Xie Chonggui, he first sat in the hall for a short while. Then he turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, and watched the variety show that Yu Siqi had always found very boring.
Judging from the laughter he makes from time to time, Xie Chonggui seems to like these variety shows.
"What are you doing there? Is it because you just came back and didn't feel comfortable? Father An, who finished drying the handkerchief, glanced at Yu Siqi and walked towards the kitchen and said, "Do you want a drink to refresh yourself?" IMHO, it doesn't seem like you're in particularly good shape. ”
"Just have a cup of green tea."
Yu Siqi thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to drink something.
"Is there coffee? I want bitter coffee without sugar. ”
Xie Chonggui said loudly.
"Okay, I'll be done right away."
Father Ann nodded with a smile on his face, and then walked into the kitchen.
Just as Siqi sat down on the sofa and moved his gaze to the screen of the TV, a slightly loud knock on the door caught his attention.
Who will it be? ’
Just as Yu Siqi was thinking, Xie Chonggui gently pushed him and said, "Can you go and help open the door?" I don't want to miss out on such a good show. ”
"It's not that it can't. It's just that... Is this thing really that pretty? ”
Yu Siqi only said the first half, as for the second half, he thought about it... Still silently swallowed back into his stomach.
When he walked quickly to the door, Yu Siqi looked out of the half-open window, and there was indeed a man with a high hat and a coat standing in front of the door, knocking impatiently on their door.
After Yu Siqi opened the door, the people outside the house didn't even say hello, and just walked in. And the most important thing is that he didn't even look at Yu Siqi, and directly threw the coat and hat he took off to Yu Siqi.
Faced with this situation, Yu Siqi froze in place, looked at each other with a puzzled expression, and asked, "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's that I'm here. Now, why can't you hang up your clothes and get me a hot cup of tea? To be honest, it took me a lot of time to find this place. ”
Not only did the visitor ignore Yu Siqi's question, but also gave him a new order.
Out of politeness, Yu Siqi didn't show too much rudeness, he just subconsciously glanced at Xie Chonggui, hoping to get any advice and suggestions from him.
As a result, that guy was very focused on the program on TV the whole time, and he didn't notice what was going on at the moment, so naturally he wouldn't react to this person's appearance.
In desperation, Yu Siqi followed his instructions and hung his clothes and hat on the hanger next to the door, and walked towards the kitchen.
When he was about to enter the kitchen, Yu Siqi unexpectedly bumped into Xie Baozhen talking to Father An about something.
In this regard, Yu Siqi, who was a little curious, quietly hid behind a pillar a few steps away from the kitchen and listened attentively.
“... Everything in the refrigerator is broken, and there seem to be rats in the pantry. At present, although there is still some rice at home, there are no seasonings and ingredients. Priest, you say, do you want me to go out and buy some later? ”
When Xie Baozhen was talking, he also showed a few fruits that seemed to have been gnawed by rats to Father An.
"You can just arrange this kind of thing. As for money, I remember it still seems to be a bit in my desk. But it's not too much, and I really shouldn't have done a good job lately. ”
Father An glanced at the fruit that had been bitten a few times with a little distress, and said.
"I don't think there's anything to worry about about money. Now that my brother is back, he will definitely not let us down in terms of money. Xie Baozhen threw all the bad fruits into the trash can and said, "You must know that when I was young, he was the one who could make the most money in our family." I still remember when I was in middle school and I didn't have money to pay for my tuition, he threw a roll of banknotes out of his pillow to pay the money for me. ”
"So, can I not need to 'work hard' in the future? This feeling is good! ”
Father Ann said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Proper work helps prevent Alzheimer's, that's what the book says."
Xie Baozhen said seriously.
"The book certainly doesn't tell you that it doesn't apply to everyone." Father An smiled, and then when Xie Baozhen pouted and was about to refute, he turned his head and said in the direction where Yu Siqi was, "You don't really think that I can't smell your breath, do you?" ”
"Of course not... I'm not... I'd like to hear what you're talking about. ”
After Yu Siqi knew that he was exposed, he walked out from behind the pillar very decisively.
"Eavesdropping is not a good habit."
Xie Baozhen looked at him coldly, and threw some expired and spoiled ingredients into the trash.
"Hmm... That is true... Someone just arrived, he looked quite old, and he was very fond of commanding people. No, I had only known him for less than five minutes before I was sent over to make tea for him. ”
Under the gaze of Father An, Yu Siqi told the reason for his appearance.
After listening to his explanation, Xie Baozhen's face was a lot more relaxed.
But she still thinks that Yu Siqi shouldn't be sneaky, and this approach is inappropriate.
"Did he give his name?"
Father Ann asked with a smile.
"Nope."
Yu Siqi shook his head.
"How can a person who does not observe even the most basic courtesies ask others to observe etiquette? You go out directly and say that the tea is used up. If you want to drink it, go buy two bags yourself. ”
Father An didn't hand Yu Siqi the brewed strong tea, but gave him such an idea.
Seriously, Yu Siqi didn't know what the priest was doing this time.
