Chapter 71: We Have a Date in the Afternoon
Jiang Qishu picked up his mobile phone and changed into shoes and was about to go out, Liang Chan followed him to the entrance like a small tail, pursed his lower lip awkwardly, stared at him with dark eyes, and said, "I'll go with you." ”
She looks like a puppy who is reluctant to leave her owner, and her eyes are moist. Jiang Qishu's fingers itched, and he hooked her chin: "There is a supermarket in the community, I can come when I go, it won't be long, you can sit down." ”
"Okay then." Liang Chan dragged his reluctant tone.
Jiang Qishu guessed that she was uncomfortable staying alone in the living room, and said softly: "Help me peel an orange, can I come back and eat it?" "Find her something to do, and she won't be bored.
"Okay."
Liang Cicada sat back, picked a large rake from the fruit bowl, peeled off the skin in three or two, and the nasal cavity was invaded by the fragrant smell of citrus peel. She lowered her head, her thick and slender eyelashes were covered, and patiently tore off the white meridians on the orange petals, looking as serious as if she was repairing a handicraft.
Jiang Qishu came back too slowly, and she peeled the orange and there was no sign of him.
Liang Chan pulled out a piece of paper and put it on the coffee table, put a whole orange on it, and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
Xu Qian and Jiang Zhengyuan were preparing the dishes, and it was only past nine o'clock, and they had almost processed all the ingredients to be used. Jiang Zhengyuan held the knife and held the big grass carp with one hand, squatted on the ground and scraped the fish scales, and the fish scales flying everywhere fell on the garbage bag spread on the floor.
Liang Chan washed her hands and hesitated to approach Xu Qian, she was cutting the cucumber into long strips, laying the knife edge flat, scraping off the soft melon pulp in the middle, and throwing it aside for discarding.
Seeing her coming over, Xu Qian casually picked up a cucumber strip and fed it to her, like a little kid who interfered with her parents' cooking.
Liang Chan was caught off guard, and ate the cucumber strips with her mouth blankly open, chewing crispy, her face was a little red, and she pointed to the cucumber strips in a small pot: "What kind of dish is this?" ”
"Wait a while to marinate the salad, and you can eat it in two hours, it's very crisp and appetizing." Xu Qian gave her an answer.
Liang Chan hadn't eaten it, but she had seen others eat it.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Liang Cicada rubbed his hands, embarrassed to go back to the living room and sit and wait for food.
Xu Qian didn't treat her as a guest, took out a handful of purple garlic from her net pocket, took out an empty bowl and put it in front of her: "If it's convenient for you, help me peel a bowl of garlic, pickle cucumbers and use it for cooking." ”
Liang Chan was happy to help, and immediately nodded that it was convenient, rolled up his sleeves, and carefully peeled the garlic.
Jiang Qishu came back after buying vinegar, but he didn't see Liang Chan in the living room, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, and saw such a warm and loving scene. His dad was disemboweling the fish, and his sideburns were stained with a few flying scales; His mother eats cucumbers while cutting them, and occasionally feeds one to the person next to him; His girlfriend hung her head, a few strands of hair fell to her cheeks, and her thin white fingertips tore open the skin of the garlic clove and threw it into a small bowl.
A gentle feeling of years rippled in my heart.
"The vinegar was bought." Jiang Qishu spoke out to attract everyone's attention.
Xu Qian opened the bag and checked it, it was not wrong, and immediately opened it, and the sour smell permeated the kitchen. She poured the vinegar into a small basin and began to pickle the cucumber strips.
Jiang Qishu stretched his neck to look around, his handsome face was curious: "What is this for?" ”
"You learned pickled cucumbers from your grandmother, and try pickled eggplants when you go back."
"I don't like eggplants." Jiang Qishu frowned, his face disgusted.
"Who asked you?" Xu Qian methodically put all kinds of spices into it, and asked Liang Cicada with a smile, "Does the little cicada like to eat eggplant?" ”
"I like it." Liang Chan was still peeling garlic, and he answered without thinking about it.
"Then let's add another dish of minced meat and eggplant at noon." Xu Qian happily announced, and then put on disposable gloves to grab the cucumbers, "Wait until next time I try to pickle eggplant, you can come and play again." ”
Liang Chan nodded and said, "I will." ”
Xu Qian seemed to have found an ally with the same taste, and glared at Jiang Qishu with her head held high: "Picky eaters fork out." ”
Jiang Qishu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and shook out of the kitchen without being able to intervene, and found an orange that had been peeled off and yellow on the coffee table, bent down to pick it up, tore off a petal and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, the sweet orange juice overflowed his mouth. His thin lips curled, and he shook back to the kitchen, tore off a petal and handed it to Liang Chan, and said softly in a breathing voice: "You peel the orange yourself, taste whether it is sweet or not." ”
Due to the presence of the elders, Liang Chan turned his head to dodge, which meant to refuse.
He didn't feel embarrassed, pinched the orange petal and touched her lower lip. Liang Chan was extremely helpless, so he had to obediently open his lips and bite the orange petal.
Jiang Qishu's dark eyes overflowed with a smile, his fingers reached over, wiped the orange juice from the corner of her lips, and asked her persistently, "Is it sweet?" ”
Liang Chan snorted, low, for fear of being heard.
She didn't see it, and Xu Qian's movement of mixing cucumber strips in her hand on the other side was getting slower and slower, slower and slower, because she was peeking with squinted eyes.
*
The dishes at noon were quite sumptuous, most of them were made by Jiang Zhengyuan, and the rest were made by Xu Qian. But the main dish of boiled fish was cooked by Xu Qian herself.
So she asked Liang Chan before if she could eat spicy food.
The boiled fish is still bubbling at the soup base, and the thin slices of fish meat are mixed with a fresh and spicy base, which makes people can't stop chopsticks as soon as they enter it.
Liang Chan thought about what she would say if Jiang Qishu's parents asked her about her family situation at the dinner table. There are some things that she can say to Jiang Qishu, but it doesn't mean that she can calmly reveal old scars to others. Although the scar could no longer cause any harm to her. However, no one brought up this topic during the meal, and in the voice of the spicy Hashas, they talked about a TV series that had recently become popular, and the plot in it was hotly discussed.
Liang Chan and Jiang Qishu have big eyes and small eyes, because they haven't seen it.
Xu Qian held up the chopsticks and said excitedly: "Strong Amway, I will lend it to you if you don't have a member!" ”
Liang Cicada was almost choked by chili peppers, Jiang Qishu looked calm, accustomed to it, he picked up the cup and handed it to her, watched her drink a big mouthful of water, no longer cough before retracting his gaze, bowing his head to eat vegetables, the corners of his mouth hooked in the corner that no one could see.
He knew that she would love his family, because he liked it too.
After the meal, the two sat for a while and got up to say goodbye. Xu Qian kept them: "Don't you want to play a little longer?" It's okay to stay for dinner, and let Ah Shu's father make hand-rolled noodles. ”
Liang Chan didn't know how to refuse, and quietly gave Jiang Qishu a look, Jiang Qishu grabbed her shoulders and said loudly: "We have a date in the afternoon!" ”
Liang Chan: "......"
Xu Qian didn't force them to stay, sent them into the elevator, and when she left, she also took a bag of nuts to Liang Chan and gave her a snack to eat.
Coming out of the building, breathing in the cool air outside, the branches swaying in the wind, Liang Cicada raised his head, saw the blazing afternoon sun through the branches, and squinted.
Jiang Qishu saw her take a deep breath and face to face with a smiling face: "Aren't you nervous?" ”
Liang Chan didn't speak, bit his lip lightly, grabbed his sleeve, and walked forward step by step, the pace was very brisk, and she replied in disguise that she was very happy today.
Jiang Qishu's statement that he was going on a date in the afternoon was not an excuse, he really planned to date Liang Chan. Since the two dated, apart from eating together in the cafeteria and eating in the restaurant opposite her part-time bar, they haven't had a serious date.
"Do you have a particular place you'd like to visit?" Jiang Qishu sat in the car and didn't start it for the time being, so he asked her opinion first.
Liang Chan is also the first time to go on a serious date, where is there any good idea, hearing him ask her so solemnly, her clear eyes are blank, reflecting her true inner thoughts - I don't know what to do on a date.
Jiang Qishu rubbed his forehead, and sighed secretly that he really couldn't count on her, he thought for a while: "The afternoon is still very long, how about we go to the movies first?" ”
Liang Chan said okay.
Jiang Qishu knew very well what the nearby movie theaters were, and he didn't need to open the navigation, he threw his mobile phone to Liang Chan: "Open the ticketing app to choose the film." ”
Even if he had already seen his mobile phone wallpaper, and looked at it again, Liang Chan still couldn't help blushing.
Isn't he afraid of being seen?
I didn't see her move for a long time, Jiang Qishu gave her a look: "Didn't you find the software?" Swipe back to the bottom left corner of the next page. ”
Liang Chan's fingertips trembled slightly, slid back a page, found the APP to buy movie tickets, clicked in, and the colorful movie posters came into view. She asked, "What genre do you want to see?" ”
Jiang Qishu lifted his eyelids, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in an ambiguous tone: "What type of movies do you think are suitable for young couples to watch together?" ”
