Chapter 68
"Your waist is so thin, what kind of fat do you lose? You have to drink a little, otherwise it will be wasted, and my son will not be able to finish it. Then she forced Xia Xiaochu over.
She didn't even have time to lock the door before she passed.
She was still wearing a professional suit when she went, and she hadn't had time to change her clothes. She looks much cleaner and neat in professional clothes, and she has a strong woman flavor.
Lin Jiacheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking dessert, and after looking at her, he was stunned.
The old woman pulled Xia Xiaochu to the sofa and sat down, and said, "You just sit next to me." As he spoke, he put a bowl of sweet soup in front of her, and said, "Drink it quickly, how about tasting my craft." ”
Xia Xiaochu said hello to Lin Jiacheng with a red face, then sat down and picked up the dessert and took a sip, saying, "It's delicious!" ”
The old woman said, "Isn't it delicious?" It's my secret ingredient. Jiacheng loves to drink my desserts, doesn't he? ”
Lin Jiacheng nodded cooperatively. If he said no, after Xia Xiaochu left, his mother would definitely teach him a good lesson, and he could only compromise, but he did like to drink the bowl of soup boiled by his mother, and if he didn't drink it for a while, he felt weak and couldn't concentrate, so he ran back.
Xia Xiaochu pursed his lips and asked, "How did you make it?" The taste is really mellow, and it's sweet but not greasy. ”
The old woman smiled: "The method is actually very simple, the most important thing is Huohou. As long as you master the heat and water, the soup will definitely taste good. As she spoke, she explained to Xia Xiaochu in detail the steps of boiling sweet soup.
Xia Xiaochu said half-jokingly: "You have given me all your unique skills, aren't you afraid that I will steal the teacher?" ”
The old woman smiled: "What's the matter, I still hope that you can pass on this practice, I believe you will definitely do better on my basis." ”
Lin Ka-shing said: "Miss Xia, I heard that you used to be a chef, why did you give up your profession? ”
Xia Xiaochu said: "Because something happened at home. ”
The old woman said, "Your craftsmanship is so good. It's a shame not to be a chef. If there is any difficulty in the future, just let me know. Although my old woman is old and useless, she will still help you if she can. As he spoke, he patted Xia Xiaochu's hand.
Xia Xiaochu nodded gratefully. Although she knew that the old woman might not be able to help her, but with her words, she felt warm in her heart.
After drinking the dessert, she took the bowl to the kitchen and washed it, saying, "Mother-in-law, I should go back." The door is not locked. ”
The old woman sighed, "Okay, I'll send you out." ”
Xia Xiaochu hurriedly said, "No need, you can sit down, I'll go by myself." Then she stood up.
The old woman said to Lin Jiacheng: "You go and send off Xiaochu." ”
Lin Jiacheng nodded, then stood up and said, "Miss Xia, I'll send you." Then he walked towards the door with Xia Xiaochu.
After Xia Xiaochu left, Lin Jiacheng came back, and the old woman said: "This girl is really good, the more I look at it, the more I like it!" The two of you are a good match when you stand together. ”
Lin Jiacheng said: "That's it. You are home alone on weekdays, you have to be careful in everything, and don't judge people by their appearance. ”
The old woman snorted and said, "Knowing the stinky boy, you can rest assured, I eat more salt than you eat, and I don't need you to remind me." ”
After Xia Xiaochu went back, Mu Yunshen and Liu Qingyun hadn't come back yet, and the coffee on the table had already cooled down. She picked it up and took a sip, it was so bitter that she had to pour out the coffee.
Seeing that it was already half past nine in the evening, she knew that they would not be back for a while, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower, she was blowing her hair when she suddenly heard the mobile phone on the coffee table ringing, and hurriedly put down the hair dryer and walked over to answer the phone.
When I picked up the phone, I saw that it was Tang Xiaoqian calling. She frowned, thinking that if she called herself so late, there must be something urgent, so she picked it up.
Tang Xiaoqian's first sentence was: "Xiao Chu." Do you have time? Can you come out and meet? ”
Xia Xiaochu heard her voice muffled, as if something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you?" Is something going on? ”
Tang Xiaoqian suddenly cried and said, "My dad and my mom quarreled, and the two of them fought, and I couldn't persuade them." I'd like to come and stay with you for two days, okay? I really hate this home right now. ”
Xia Xiaochu was taken aback and said, "Okay, I'll go over right away." Where do we meet? ”
Tang Xiaoqian said: "I'm in a bad mood right now, I want to drink some wine, shall we go to the bar?" ”
Xia Xiaochu said: "It's better not to, don't spoil your body, there is something to discuss, let's find a quiet place to have a good chat, okay?" ”
Tang Xiaoqian said: "Okay then, then let's meet in the café." ”
Xia Xiaochu agreed, and then hung up the phone and began to change clothes. They used to meet at a café where they would meet, and she knew it as soon as she said it.
She quickly changed into a white outfit and went out the door with her bag on her back. Once downstairs, she beckoned to a cab and headed straight for the café.
After getting there, she found that Tang Xiaoqian had arrived, and she was sitting there lonely, turning her head to look out the window.
She walked over, sat down on the chair across from her, and said, "Little Qian, are you here?" ”
Tang Xiaoqian glanced back at her, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked like she had cried before.
Xia Xiaochu took her hand and asked, "Xiaoqian, what's going on?" How could my uncle and aunt quarrel so much? ”
Tang Xiaoqian sighed and said, "It's not because of gambling, my dad went to gamble behind our backs again, and he owes a lot of debt, I really don't know what to do now." Our restaurant may not be able to be saved. ”
Hearing her words, Xia Xiaochu was taken aback and said, "How can this be? ”
Tang Xiaoqian said: "Now the debt is going to collect debts every day, and my father owes a Gaoli loan, if we don't pay it back as soon as possible, we will really go bankrupt, maybe we can't even keep the house we live in, so we decided to put the restaurant out of the plate and respond to the emergency first." ”
Xia Xiaochu said: "But that is the hard work of your family for more than ten years, did you just give up?" ”
Tang Xiaoqian said: "Then what can be done? My dad won't change, I can't do anything about it, and my mom is clamoring to divorce him, I really don't know what to do. ”
