Chen Xu looked at Luo Xiyun with some surprise, he didn't expect her to make him make a choice so directly, and was about to speak, when the phone rang, he picked up the phone, "Hey, yes, okay, we'll come out right away." ”

Then, he hung up the phone and said, "The substitute driver has arrived." ”

She lifted her handbag and said, "Let's go." ”

When the two walked out of the door of the hotel, they saw a man in his thirties parking on the side of the road on a small electric car, and stepped forward to ask if it was the substitute driver they had made an appointment.

After getting into the car, Chen Xu saw that she had been looking out the window and said, "I'll think about that matter and give you a reply after the Spring Festival." ”

"Hmm." She didn't turn her head, she just answered.

There was a red light in front of him, and the driver glanced in the rearview mirror a little strangely, feeling that the atmosphere was a little weird, but he was not familiar with people and did not talk much.

After waiting for the red light, he concentrated on driving, and did not dare to be distracted at all, such an expensive car, if something happened, it would be troublesome.

Luo Xiyun's house is relatively close, so he sent her home first, and then sent Chen Xu back, and the car was also placed on his side. To avoid any accidents, he parked his car in a nearby parking lot.

When he returned to renting a house, Chen Xu felt the need to move, and after a little thought, he decided to move after the Spring Festival and when he was not so busy.

As for this Spring Festival holiday, there is no drama.

The company's online channels have just been opened, even during the Spring Festival, major shopping platforms are closed, and express companies are also on holiday. But this is the first year, for the sake of insurance, there must always be enough people in the company to guard it, and formalism always has to be engaged. This candidate is him, who was decided just a few days ago.

It is now a few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

He quickly put these chores aside, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came out, he got to work.

To be honest, after entering this dream, his life can be said to be very hard, and most of the time is spent on work. Compared to the real time, it is a completely different way of life. However, he did not feel bitter.

In the dream game, he'd been through more difficult days, and it was really nothing.

In fact, in reality, he has virtual dream equipment, and he has also completed the initial accumulation, so he doesn't have to put so much energy into his work at all, he just needs to do it step by step, and he has a lot of free time.

But not here, he is short on time and has a low start, so he naturally spends most of his time preparing for his career.

Not to mention, this kind of day is a different experience for him, without the virtual dream device, he always has a sense of crisis in his heart - or a sense of powerlessness, a sense of powerlessness to control the development of the situation.

Every decision he makes is carefully thought out so as not to affect the plan. This feeling of nervous tension has not been felt in a long time. It's really a little exciting.

…………

Time flies, and it is already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chen Xu came to the company as usual, and everyone arrived today, although in fact, the online shopping mall was closed yesterday, and even if someone placed an order, it would not be shipped until after the year. Most people don't really have much to do, and today they come to the company, but just go through the form.

Liu Kun is still quite humane, and in the afternoon, he let everyone get off work in advance. Many people have to rush back to their hometowns, and those who buy tickets are fine, and those who drive home by themselves can leave earlier to reduce traffic jams.

Luo Xiyun is gone, and she wants to go back to her grandmother's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Liu Kun also left, most of the employees left, leaving Chen Xu, and a few local families, who stayed until the end of work.

Chen Xu was the last to leave the company and locked the company's door. When I walked out of the building, I said hello to the security guard and thought about where I was going to have dinner.

Chinese New Year's Eve, if you can't go home and eat Chinese New Year's Eve with your parents, you can at least eat better. There must still be some sense of ritual in life.

Soon, he had an idea.

He walked to the side of the road, swept a shared electric car, and went straight to a large supermarket nearby, where he bought a lot of vegetables.

After returning to the rented house, he first turned on the computer, played the live TV, and deliberately amplified the sound. Listen to the sound on the TV and go to the kitchen to start cooking.

A person who ran to the restaurant for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner felt quite pitiful when he thought about it. Let's do it yourself at home.

He hadn't cooked in a while, and in essence, he was a bit lazy, and although he had learned to cook, he didn't usually cook if he could. It's the same with Xiyun when they're together. Occasionally, he shows his hand.

There are no decent kitchen utensils in the rental house, just a rice cooker and induction cooker, plus a small frying pan, which can't make any hard dishes.

When the last dish was cooking, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, and it was a video call from my mother. He answered and asked, "Mom, have you eaten?" ”

In the video, my mother said, "I've eaten it, what about you, have you eaten it?" ”

"I'm doing it." He focused the camera on the dishes that had already been prepared and the ones that were being fried in the pot. Then place your phone against the wall and stand it. Stir-fry the dish so that it doesn't get mushy.

My mother asked, "How do you do it yourself?" ”

"I don't want to eat out for the New Year."

"I knew that your dad and I would go to you."

"Aren't you and your dad busy? It's okay, you can go back on the fifteenth day of the first month anyway. He said yes, he heard a knock on the door outside, a little strange, at this time, how could someone knock on the door?

"There's a knock on the door, I'll open it." He said to his mother, turned off the fire, dried his hands, and went outside to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, he was a little surprised, "Why are you?" ”

Standing outside the door, it was actually Yang Jinxia, who was dressed in a red dress, and said, "I happened to be passing by here, so I came up and took a look." What, not welcome? ”

"Of course you are welcome." Chen Xu had a smile on her face, she had always done things like this. Open the door, "Please come in." ”

Yang Jinxia walked in, looked at the environment of the room, and said, "It's very clean." You haven't eaten yet? ”

"Doing it." Chen Xu pulled out the chair in front of the computer desk and said, "You sit down first, I still have dishes in it that haven't been fried." ”

She sat down in a chair, looked at the low square table, a few dishes, a pot of white-cut chicken, a fried fish, and a meatball soup, and said, "It looks pretty good." ”

Chen Xu entered the kitchen, and the mother in the mobile phone video asked curiously, "Who, it sounds like a woman." ”

"A friend of mine, Mom, I'll call you when I'm done eating."

Chen Xu said and hung up the phone. Then the dishes in the pot are picked up, brought out, and placed on the table. While asking, "Have you ever eaten it?" ”

"Not yet."

"Otherwise, together."
