[Chapter 25, Get Along with Each Other] (Seek to Follow-up)
About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhibai saw Zhao Chanyi at the gate of the community.
She's still dressed in the same style as ever.
White shirt, jeans, long hair shawl, no powder.
Standing under the locust tree with a beautiful face, he looked at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by with soft eyebrows.
The moment his eyes met with Lin Zhibai, there was obviously a smile in Zhao Chanyi's eyes.
…………
Sitting in the co-pilot, Lin Zhibai handed over the fruit tea he bought on the road and said.
"It's too hot this day, drink something cold to relieve the heat."
Hearing this, Zhao Chanyi was not polite, pursed his lips and smiled, and reached out to take it.
"Let's go, where are we going to eat?"
Because he didn't know Zhao Chanyi's place of treat, Lin Zhibai asked curiously.
As a result, when Zhao Chanyi heard this, he seemed very hesitant.
After a while, he said softly.
"Let's eat at my house, now let's go to the vegetable market and buy some food, can we?"
"I'm going to deliver food to my dad in the afternoon."
Lin Zhibai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly came back to his senses.
"Absolutely."
"I just don't like eating out hot."
"It's all unappetizing."
As he spoke, he smiled again and said expectantly.
"I haven't tasted your craft yet."
…………
Basically, there are vegetable farms near the community.
After driving for about five minutes, Lin Zhibai and Zhao Chanyi came to the surrounding vegetable market.
This is also the first time Lin Zhibai saw Zhao Chanyi and the aunt who sold vegetables bargaining.
She didn't speak quickly, but she didn't show any mercy when she cut the price, and it was obvious that she had long been comfortable with this kind of thing.
To be honest, this is the first time Lin Zhibai has seen another side of her.
However, he didn't look like a philistine at all, and his shrewd and calculating appearance was very interesting in Lin Zhibai's eyes.
After buying some basic home-cooked food, Zhao Chanyi turned his head and asked Lin Zhibai if he had any special favorites to eat, and Lin Zhibai naturally said that he could eat anything and was not picky.
After the purchase was over, out of the vegetable market, Zhao Chanyi bought a cold beer at the small shop next to him.
As she walked around, it was close to 12 noon when she returned to her rental house.
After making a cup of tea for Lin Zhibai and putting it on the table, Zhao Chanyi hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook with a shopping bag.
Lin Zhibai, on the other hand, sat on a stool and looked at the environment in front of him with interest.
……
The overall size of the rental house is not large.
Two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
Although it seems to be the whole of it, when you divide it carefully, each space is actually very narrow.
It is estimated that it adds up to less than fifty square meters.
The wall calendars on the white-plaster walls are yellowed, and the floor is still concrete.
Rental houses like this are very common in Suzhou, and the rough house can be rented out with a little modification, and the rent is generally not too expensive.
The monthly rent is around three or four hundred.
After checking, Lin Zhibai's eyes fell on an old photo posted behind the door.
The photo shows a woman with a little girl standing under the Eiffel Tower with a happy face, and the appearance of the little girl is obviously what Zhao Chanyi looked like when she was a child.
Not surprisingly, this woman should be Zhao Chanyi's mother.
Just the eyebrows and eyes do have some similarity.
Looking at it carefully, Lin Zhibai was a little surprised in his heart.
Zhao Chanyi's family background doesn't seem to be very good, but they can still travel abroad when they are young?
As a result, when he turned his head and looked at it again, Lin Zhibai couldn't help but smile dumbly.
What is the Eiffel Tower, it's all a popular headshot of that era, and the Eiffel Tower is just a background picture.
…………
The rental house is very small, and you can see the edge at a glance, and as for the two bedrooms, Lin Zhibai naturally will not enter it casually abruptly.
Bored left and right, he walked into the cramped kitchen and asked.
"Is there anyone you need my help with?"
"I'll tell you, I know how to cook."
Hearing this, Zhao Chanyi looked back and smiled slightly, she reached out and stroked the bangs scattered on her forehead, and then said softly.
"No, just wait a minute."
"If you're bored, you can watch TV."
The temperature in the kitchen is very high, and the old refrigeration and air conditioning in the living room doesn't seem to be able to take care of this space, so Zhao Chanyi's face has been soaked with sweat when cooking.
The white shirt is clinging to the body, and if you look closely, you can even see the faintly white and delicate skin.
Lin Zhibai saw all this in his eyes and didn't say anything, just said that he was not in a hurry and returned to the living room.
…………
The TV set is naturally black and white.
In the 90s, these were the three major things that a wealthy family must have.
But now, it is obvious that it is outdated and cannot keep up with the times.
I can't find a few stations in total, and even if I find a program that I am interested in, the blurry picture quality also makes Lin Zhibai's interest greatly reduced.
But he still looked at it leisurely.
After all, he is not a pampered person, what hard days have he not experienced?
In about half an hour, Zhao Chanyi was ready.
Lin Zhibai hurriedly turned off the TV and went to help.
A table was set up in the living room, and a moment later, a table full of dishes was placed.
Panting slightly, Zhao Chanyi took out the beer from the refrigerator again and looked at Lin Zhibai with a smile.
"Do you drink?"
"Okay."
…………
There are no special ceremonial openings.
The sun outside the house is still the same, half of the sun shines in, and half of the green mountains are left.
The old hanging air conditioner in the house made a slight creaking sound while blowing cold air.
Zhao Chanyi's cooking skills are very good, at least not worse than Lin Zhibai's cooking skills.
After touching each other's glasses, Lin Zhibai began to feast.
When eating, Zhao Chanyi always has very few words.
She seems to cherish the opportunity to eat, and every time Lin Zhibai can see her eating the food cleanly without making a sound.
Although it can't be called chewing slowly, it can't be described as gobbling up.
She doesn't make a smacking sound when she eats, but she's fast.
Sandwich two dishes, and half a bowl of rice is gone.
It makes people look at it in their eyes and can't help but have a great appetite.
Halfway through eating, Lin Zhibai suddenly remembered something and spoke.
"Didn't you say you were going to bring food to your uncle, how do I feel like we're going to eat it?"
"No, I left it for him."
"Oh, that's good."
The atmosphere on the field seemed to be a little awkward, Lin Zhibai tried hard to find the topic, but the next second he couldn't wait to give himself a big ear scraper.
"Have your parents been working in Suzhou all the time?"
Hearing this, Zhao Chan's clothes flickered for a moment, and then said in a calm tone.
"My father has been working in Suzhou for many years, and my mother divorced my father a few years ago."
Oh, yes.
She never mentioned her mom, she always talked about dad.
And this rental house obviously has no traces of a woman's permanent residence, so I should have guessed it a long time ago.
