Chapter 40: The blind date who was scolded
The cleaning aunt cleaned up the few places designated by Chu Xi, took out the clothes in the washing machine, and carefully dried them under the porch, and then left happily with the hard work money given by Chu Xi.
There was nothing to do for the time being, Chu Xi thought about it, so he prepared to lock the door and go next door in advance to see if he could help. Only then did he lock the door of the living room, and when he arrived at the gate, he saw four people pulling things to the gate of the courtyard.
The two sides looked at each other, making sure that their destination was their newfound courtyard, and Chu Xi was the first to speak, "You-"
"You're Chu Xi?" A middle-aged man in the lead asked with a smile, and when he saw her nodding, he pointed behind him and continued, "There is an old gentleman surnamed Zhou who asked us to send you these furniture. โ
Behind the middle-aged man is a long list of new furniture, from the bed to the wardrobe, and then from the wardrobe to some small furnishings.
"Mr. Zhou said that this set of furniture is at a medium price, and it will be used for you as a guest room." The middle-aged man has a darker and thinner complexion, probably more exposed to the wind and sun, and when he smiles, the folds on his face are obvious, but it gives people a very simple feeling.
Chu Xi didn't expect Mr. Zhou to give himself such a surprise, this whole set of furniture, according to the current price, is not cheap.
The style does not follow the current trend, but the minimalist style, which is exactly what she likes.
"That's trouble!" Chu Xi turned around, opened the courtyard door wide, stood in the middle of the courtyard and thought for a while, pointed to one of the rooms in the west seat and said to the middle-aged man, "Put this room." โ
The room she said had only a few heavy chairs, which were relatively easy to move.
"Okay!" The middle-aged man smiled and shouted at the three guys behind him, "Big guys, be careful, the furniture is new, don't bump into it!" โ
The sound was so loud that it startled a few birds falling on the persimmon tree next door, and shook off the snow from a tree......
Chu Xi raised his head, glanced over there, pursed his lips and smiled.
โฆโฆ If anyone is under the tree, they will be smashed right now.
"You guys wait a minute, I'll clean the house first." Chu Xi picked up a thick scarf, but he was not hypocritical, he picked up the broom and had to work.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I'll come." Your clothes look new, don't get dirty. We work fast and save time! โ
Accustomed to this line of work, the man snatched the broom as he spoke, brushed and swept up, and the few men he brought with him were also quick with their hands and feet, and found brooms and shovels to clear the snow, and cleared a path to facilitate the handling of furniture.
The capital was dry in winter and dusty, so Chu Xi had to avoid it and wait quietly.
ยท
Next door.
Xiao Zongchen heard the movement, and stood up one step ahead of Zhou Xuhua, "I'll go next door to help, you guys talk first." โ
The tone was firm, not giving Zhou Huaxu any chance to protest.
Zhou Huaxu's playful smile froze on his face, his eyes suddenly turned into knives, and he stabbed Xiao Zongchen again and again.
Why?
Why do you want him to accompany the guests?
He's a guest too!
He didn't want to chat with Gu Ruoshu!
Xiao Zongchen didn't care, he staggered his gaze, kept a solemn face, and turned around to go out.
"You-" Gu Ruoshu got up and said softly, "Are you going to help next door?" I'll go too. Girls have the advantages of girls, and I will help with the meticulous work. โ
Zhou Huaxu instantly raised his eyebrows, looking at his friend and brother like a good show.
Gu Ruoshu is the daughter of a friend of Zhou Yanmin's colleague, and she is also one of Xiao Zongchen's blind dates when he came back this time. No one expected that the colleague would be so active, and he didn't say hello, and brought someone before lunch.
This girl was in junior high school and Xiao Zongchen was in the same school, and the colleague thought that the two of them were in the same school, and there must be something to talk about, so he asked her to chat with them and went to the kitchen by herself.
The girl really wanted to talk to Xiao Zongchen, but Xiao Zongchen was too imposing, and the answer to the question was extremely concise, and it could be solved with one word, and she resolutely didn't use two words.
He wanted to alleviate one or two, but this girl avoided suspicion with him, afraid that he would fall in love with her, so she wouldn't talk to her, and she wouldn't look at him.
What could he do?
Watching the two continue to be embarrassed!
Cultivation made Xiao Zongchen unable to ignore others, he stopped, his body was like a pine and cypress, his timbre reflected the color of snow, a little cold, "There is no one who does research who is not meticulous." โ
When Zhou Huaxu heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his throat.
Okay, one sentence killed the day again.
Gu Ruoshu blushed all of a sudden, and explained nervously, "No...... No, that's not what I meant. I mean the life aspect! โ
She did not question his professionalism.
In this era, the patriarchal thinking is heavier, and generally there are brothers and sisters in the family, and the sisters and sisters do housework, even if the family conditions are better, the girl's family understands these things better than the boy.
Although Xiao Zongchen is not born to Zhou Yanmin and Engineer Xiao, he is the only son, which is better than his own.
She thought he hadn't done any housework......
Xiao Zongchen didn't speak, and Zhou Huaxu, who felt that his self-esteem was damaged, didn't speak, and the atmosphere froze for a while.
Just when Gu Ruoshu looked at Xiao Zongchen and embarrassed tears rolled in his eyes, Zhou Yanmin's voice in the kitchen rose at the right time, "Zongchen!" Sissy seems to be loading and unloading furniture, you go check it out! โ
Saying that, he walked out, pulled Gu Ruoshu and said to him, "Ruoshu is a girl, not suitable for doing these bulky jobs, you and Hua Xu go over, get it done, and bring Xixi over for dinner." โ
When Zhou Huaxu heard Zhou Yanmin's address to Chu Xi and Gu Ruoshu, he suddenly understood, and walked out with his brother in his arms.
Calling the pro-sparse and present, Aunt Zhou is not in the same place.
He turned his head slightly and glanced back at Gu Ruoshu, who was so aggrieved that his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but compare Chu Xi, who was so smiling that he wanted to grin, nodded, Well, this girl is indeed not very compatible with her brother, and what she said is not to the point, and it is a little disgusting and guarded......
It's okay to say anything about your student days, but it's not good to try to understand the rhythm of a researcher's work and life, and to be able to go out a few times a month!
Although the heart of love is obvious, it is better not to ask what should not be asked.
The two brothers went out well, and when they were about to walk to the gate of Chu Xi Courtyard, Zhou Huaxu looked behind him, and saw that there was no one, so he quickly exhaled and analyzed: "I still think Chu Xi is better, although both of them are pear blossoms and rain, but, Gu Ruoshu delicately told people to want to run, Chu Xi~~~~"
He paused as he spoke, then smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, squinted, and touched his chin to reminisce, "Elegant and tenacious gestures, even if there are tears in the eyes, but talking and doing things do not give people any psychological burden, I want to ask someone to come forward and hug her and coax her......"
He said to himself, and when he came back to his senses, the brothers who were walking side by side had already entered the courtyard of Chuxi first.
The straight back was sandwiched with ice slag, obviously angry.
Zhou Huaxu was stunned,
No, what did he say excessively? As for it?!
