Chapter 129: The City House
When Su Xin went to the supermarket to buy groceries, she specially avoided the counter where she worked, and she looked at it from a distance from the other side, and the eldest sister was sweating profusely.
Since her summer vacation business was driven, the eldest sister has never had a good attitude towards herself, even if she no longer does summer work now, but in order to avoid embarrassment, Su Xin first went to buy all the other things she needed, and then counted back over there.
When the clock pointed to 12 o'clock, the eldest sister really wiped her hands and went to eat, and replaced her with a temporary substitute, Su Xin walked over and weighed the dried fruits.
Although she is the only one at home who eats by herself, Su Xin is still used to cooking for two days, after all, she doesn't have so much time to do these things every day.
With a slight fluttering light rain, through the bluestone alley, Su Xin came to the door of the house, and the courtyard door was actually open.
An ominous premonition crossed her mind, but she tried to think of the best as she could: maybe it was just her mother coming back to get something.
The first step into the courtyard door destroyed her idea.
"Su Xin, are you back?" The second sister, Su Mu, took the water under the faucet in the courtyard and greeted her with a smile. (This character has been in existence for a long time, if you don't remember, please go back to Chapter 61 of this book: Su Mansion and look for it.) )
Su Xin's face changed instantly, it was not that she didn't like Su Mu, on the contrary, Su Mu was the only person in Su Mansion who could talk to herself, but if she appeared, then another person would ......
"Oh? Is it Su Xin? A loud voice came from the back room, Su Xin's hand carrying the bag loosened, and a few tomatoes fell out, and Su Mu bent down to pick them up.
Su Jiamu stepped out of the house, still oily with a suit and a kind smile, but in Su Xin's eyes, he was so sanctimonious that he made himself sick to his stomach.
"Still buying groceries?" Su Jiamu smiled and said, "Give it to Xiao Mu." ”
"What are you doing here?" Su Xin's tone was calm, and the dishes in her hand were carried into the house by Su Mu, she tried her best to keep calm and figure out the current situation first.
Su Jiamu's tall figure stood up straight, and Su Xin had to raise her head to look directly into his eyes, her eyes were stung by the sun and had to squint to open them.
"You can't come if you're fine, huh? Ha ha. Su Jiamu smiled heartily. It's just a matter of walking with relatives. He waved his hand, as if he was the owner of this house, and invited Su Xin in.
Su Xin knew very well that he had no reason to drive them away now, so he entered the house without saying a word. She swore that if there were signs of being turned over in the house (looking for a will), she would relentlessly kick them out.
The living room inside the house was clean and tidy, as if it had been cleaned, and the door to his and his mother's bedroom was closed, as it had been when he had just left.
"Apples?" Su Jiamu walked into the house and pointed to the fruit basket he brought.
"No, thank you." Su Xin said expressionlessly.
"What about my brother and sister?" After Su Jiamu asked, he swaggered down on the chair, crossed his legs, and didn't seem to have much curiosity about his question.
"My mom is still at work and will be back tomorrow morning."
"Oops." Su Jiamu clapped his hands: "I still want to see her and talk about something." ”
"I'm really embarrassed, second uncle." Su Xin sat down and said, "There is nothing to eat and entertain at home, after all...... The house is small. ”
There was a sound of cooking in the kitchen, which seemed to increase the temperature of the house.
In Su Jiamu's opinion, Su Xin was just talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the other two wings of the courtyard were still empty, but he also understood Su Xin's intention of saying this.
"The main thing is to go to the factory in the east with Xiao Mu to see the situation, saying that something is wrong, isn't this just passing by?" Su Jiamu smiled, indicating that he had no plans to stay overnight.
"Oh, that's ......"
"How's your school grades lately?" Su Jiamu asked. "Originally, Jia Cheng was the first college student in our family."
"It's decent." Su Xin said. "I still don't dare to relax."
After finishing speaking, Su Jiamu nodded, and then his eyes wandered, observing the decorations in the house.
So an awkward silence filled the gap between the two, turning into a sad barrier.
Su Xin didn't understand why it took so long, Su Jiamu didn't tell the real purpose, no matter how you look at this trip, it should still be for the house, and it should be a cover to see the factory or something. She only knew that she was wasting her time by greeting him.
"I'll go help my second aunt." Su Xin said as he got up and walked into the kitchen.
Su Mu's dexterous hand had just served the first dish, she seemed to be in a hurry, her movements were fast, and there was a rhythmic sound between the knife and the cutting board.
"Hey, you're in." Su Mu said that it seemed that she knew that Su Xin would have to go into the kitchen to talk to her sooner or later, and the action of chopping vegetables in her hand still did not stop.
Su Xin naturally took the garlic that was rinsed in the pool and said, "Second aunt, cut so quickly and be careful." ”
"Oh, you're still not worried about my technology? It's fine, but there's something urgent. Su Mu used a kitchen knife to stack the green pepper shreds on the cutting board, slid them into the hot pot with green smoke, and with the sound of oil frying, she began to stir-fry. There was something wrong with the factory at Jiamu, saying that a worker was injured, and he wanted to check the equipment and safety in the factory himself. ”
Su Mu looked at the sky and found that the sun was starting to shift to the west, and said with annoyance: "Oops, it's still a little late." She simply turned the heat up and quickened the stir-frying.
These words were no different from what he had just heard, and Su Xin was confused again. Could it be that the two have already colluded to talk? Or is Su Jiamu lying to Su Mu and keeping her in the dark? No matter what, Su Xin didn't believe that Su Jiamu came this time out of concern for himself and his mother.
The kitchen was so loud that both of them had to stick out their ears to listen and answer loudly. But in such an environment, Su Xin still chatted with Su Mu very freely, unlike Su Jiamu outside, she couldn't find any sense of oppression in Su Mu's smile and behavior.
Su Xin's ears suddenly burst into the sound of the door opening, which was incompatible with other sounds in the kitchen, this sound did not come from the courtyard door, but from the living room.
Su Xin secretly said bad in his heart, and immediately rushed out of the kitchen.
Su Xin was amazed by Su Jiamu's city, she thought that Su Jiamu must have taken the opportunity to sneak into the room just now, planning to search for his father's will and use Su Mu to distract himself, no wonder when he entered the kitchen just now, he didn't choose to stop it, although he didn't find it, but Su Xin was very sensitive to this matter, she was always unwilling to match the words kindness, repentance, and people like Su Jiamu.
She subconsciously looked at the bedroom door of herself and her mother on the left, but she didn't see Su Jiamu's figure, until the bathroom behind her came from the sound of the door slamming shut.
It turned out that he was just going to go to the toilet.
Su Jiamu took a handful of water from the sink and poured it all on his face, he gasped, shook his head at himself in the mirror, and smiled bitterly.
After Su Mu finished cooking, he was taken away by Su Jiamu.
This meal, in the end, only Su Xin was eating alone.
