Chapter 55: The Chapel
When Chen Qingwu returned home and opened QQ again, she heard two coughing sounds of "cough cough", and a netizen named "DJC" sent her a friend application.
DJC, Duan Jincheng, his screen name is simple.
At that time, most of the screen names of the classmates were not mainstream, for example, Wu Minya's screen name was "You Turn Your Eyes Back", and Chen Qingwu's screen name was "Even if you are lonely and open into the sea", compared with "DJC", the first two seem a little rustic.
The official start of tutoring was set in a bit of a hurry, just on Sunday of this week, because Fu Hongying happened to be at home on Sunday, she also wanted to meet Duan Jincheng to see if he was as powerful as Chen Yuchuan.
Chen Qingwu sent the time and address to Duan Jincheng on QQ, Duan Jincheng only replied with an "OK" gesture, and then his avatar dimmed, Chen Qingwu's expected hot chat did not appear, she was a little disappointed, but the thought of meeting him every day soon, and she couldn't help but be happy.
On Monday, Chen Qingwu and Duan Jincheng gathered at the gate of the Junhe community.
Fu Hongying's family just moved into a new house in Junhe Community last year, Chen Qingwu followed her sister-in-law once when they lived in Wen, and with a vague memory, she took Duan Jin Cheng to successfully find the entrance of Unit 7.
After the doorbell rang, Fu Hongying came to open the door.
"Hello Aunt Ying."
"Qingwu, you're here." Fu Hongying's gaze fell on Duan Jin Cheng behind Chen Qingwu.
Duan Jin Cheng politely nodded at Hongying: "Hello."
"Hello, you're Duan Jincheng, right? Come on, come in."
Fu Hongying welcomed them into the door, and then shouted upstairs, "Mai Mai, Mai Mai, come down, your sister Qingwu and they are here."
At the top of the stairs, a little girl with braids poked her head out and glanced down timidly.
Fu Hongying and her husband Lu Zhengming are a combination of a lawyer and a doctor, both of them are very busy with work, and their daughter Mai Mai has been raised in Lu Zhengming's hometown since she was a child.
However, she still likes Chen Qingwu.
When Wenju was in the past, there were many faces in the family to celebrate together, Mai Mai was very restrained, and there was no smile on her face, until Chen Qingwu came, she stretched her eyebrows, and she had the festive appearance of the new little master.
Fu Hongying didn't know why her daughter was willing to be close to Chen Qingwu, probably because Chen Qingwu's warm temperament like a little sun made the child feel at ease.
This is also the reason why Fu Hongying originally wanted Chen Qingwu to help Mai Mai tutor.
After Mai Mai went downstairs, Chen Qingwu introduced Duan Jin Cheng to her, both of them were quiet and introverted, and they greeted each other, eliminating awkward chats and going straight to the point.
Duan Jincheng asked Mai Mai to take out her usual homework book and final exam papers, and after reading it carefully, he probably knew that Mai Mai's mathematics was weak in several aspects.
"Find a book that you haven't written, and I'll help you sort out all the mistakes today." Duan Jin Cheng said to Mai Mai.
Mai Mai answered, went to the schoolbag to find a new notebook, and the two began to devote themselves to today's tuition.
Fu Hongying looked at Duan Jincheng's serious and responsible appearance, and was quite satisfied.
"Qingwu, this Duan Jin Cheng looks quite reliable, and ......" Fu Hongying lowered her voice and sighed twice, "Moreover, your sister-in-law said it really well."
"Aunt Ying, what did my sister-in-law say?"
"Your sister-in-law said that Duan Jincheng's appearance is pleasing to the eye, and he is the kind of handsome guy who reminds people of youth, and she also told me not to miss it, and I will definitely slap my thigh if I miss it."
Chen Qingwu: "......"
When the sister-in-law dared to sell Duan Jincheng, she focused on a handsome person?
----
Duan Jincheng quickly adapted to the job of tutor, and Chen Qingwu's contribution was naturally indispensable. After all, Duan Jincheng is not a coaxing person, and Mai Mai is even more introverted and doesn't like to speak, so Chen Qingwu took the initiative to carry the banner of the atmosphere, and said a joke to adjust one
The atmosphere of tutoring.
Fu Hongying often saw the three of them still writing hard one second, and laughing on the desk the next.
It is rare for her daughter to be so happy on weekdays, so she is very relieved and feels that the tuition money is really worth it.
On the last day of July, Fu Hongying was going on a business trip to other provinces, and her husband Lu Zhengming also had two important surgeries in the hospital and left home early in the morning, and Mai Mai had no one to take care of her, so Fu Hongying called Chen Yuchuan and asked Chen Qingwu if she could go to accompany Mai Mai for a while in advance, and Mai Mai's grandparents would leave after coming to the house in the evening.
Chen Qingwu agreed, feeling that it was not difficult to take care of the child, but when it was noon, when she wanted to cook for Mai Mai, she instantly made a difficulty.
In the past few years, her grandfather Chen Changsheng has been in charge of the kitchen, and she and her sister-in-law have been spoiled by their grandfather so much that they don't know how to use the rice cooker, let alone cook.
At that time, there was no takeaway, and they didn't have mobile phones.
"Why don't you take your sister out to eat?" Chen Qingwu said to Mai Mai.
"But it's hot outside."
Chen Qingwu glanced at the scorching sun, and was also a little persuaded to retire.
"Why don't you cook instant noodles for you?" She still knows how to make instant noodles.
"Yes, yes."
Unfortunately, rummaging around the house did not find the shadow of instant noodles.
Just when they had to choose between death of heat and starvation, Duan Jin Cheng came.
When he heard that they had not eaten, he said, "I will make it for you."
"You can cook?" Chen Qingwu was surprised, but then think about it, a teenager like him who crawled over in hardship, skills like cooking should be basic.
Duan Jincheng said "um" and walked into the kitchen.
Although Fu Hongying and his wife were not at home, the refrigerator was full, because the elderly in the family were coming over, so they went to the supermarket yesterday to make a big purchase and bought two or three days of vegetables.
Chen Qingwu wanted to go in and help, but Duan Jin Cheng was very sharp, washing and cutting vegetables and arranging the dishes with one hand, except for getting in the way and occupying space, she had no effect at all.
She was about to exit the kitchen when she suddenly heard Duan Jin Cheng shouting at her.
"Chen Qingwu."
"Huh?"
"Find me an apron."
Duan Jincheng was wearing a white T, and if he was splashed with oil splashes when stir-frying, it would be obvious.
"Oh."
Chen Qingwu found a black and white checkered apron on the hook next to the refrigerator, and she was about to hand it to Duan Jincheng, when she found that his hand was scratching the meat slices with starch, and he couldn't get out to pick up the apron at all.
"Why don't I put it on for you?" After she said this, her palms began to sweat uncontrollably, but she still pretended to be relaxed, "I have to help something when I come in."
Duan Jincheng had no objection, and directly leaned over his neck.
The young man's hair was black and shiny, and there was a small scar on the corner of his forehead, which was left by the fight in the square before, she was a little distressed, thinking that if Duan Jin Cheng was not so stubborn at that time, and if he handled it in a timely and proper manner, he would not have left a scar at all.
Duan Jin Cheng saw that she didn't move for a long time, and raised his eyes to look at her.
"Did you enjoy the way I bowed to you?" He asked.
Chen Qingwu immediately came back to his senses.
"No, no, you're my master, and if you want to bow, I'll bow to you." In order to apologize, she hurriedly bowed back.
When I bowed back, I realized that something was wrong, and they were too much like they were in the chapel!
Oh my God, what are you doing, Chen Qingwu!
Chen Qingwu hated to pry open his head and sort out whether he was missing a tendon.
She hurriedly hung the apron on Duan Jin Cheng's neck.
Duan Jin Cheng didn't seem to notice anything wrong with her posture just now, so he indifferently turned around in place and motioned for Chen Qingwu to help him tie the back of his waist as well.
Chen Qingwu half-squatted down and tied a bow at the back of his waist.
"Alright."
"Thanks, go out, there will be oil smoke in the stir-fry." Duan Jincheng said.
"Hmm."
----
In just a few hours, Duan Jin Chengcheng conjured up three dishes and one soup, a plate of cold lettuce, a plate of fried three fresh, a plate of pot-wrapped meat and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.
Not to mention the three dishes, they also include the two cuisines of the north and the south, especially the plate of pot-wrapped meat, which is shiny and shiny, and it looks appetizing.
Chen Qingwu took a piece and tasted it first, and sure enough, it was sweet and sour, not greasy at all.
"Oh my God! Duan Jincheng, your cooking is too delicious! Is there anything else you wouldn't?" Chen Qingwu's eyes adored.
Duan Jin Cheng replied lightly: "I won't speak in such an exaggerated tone of yours."
"Really, I'm not exaggerating, it's really delicious!" She swallowed as she spoke, choked on the sweet and sour juice on the pot meat, covered her mouth and coughed wildly.
Duan Jincheng poured her a glass of water and pushed it to her hand: "Eat slowly, you can't take your life to eat if it's delicious."
Mai Mai laughed out loud.
"Don't laugh, taste it, it's really delicious." Chen Qingwu was about to cough and die, and he didn't forget Amway.
Mai Mai picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish, his expression gradually surprised.
"yes, yes, Maimai, it's delicious, isn't it?" Chen Qingwu was so proud that she made this dish.
Mai Mai nodded.
"Then you can also evaluate it." Chen Qingwu encouraged her to talk more.
Mai Mai thought for a while, looked at Duan Jin Cheng and said sincerely, "Brother Ah Cheng, your cooking is better than my mother's, whoever becomes your wife in the future will definitely be very happy."
Chen Qingwu: "......"
Duan Jincheng: "......"
This kid either doesn't speak, or when he does, he is a king.
After eating, Chen Qingwu took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the dishes, after all, Duan Jincheng had already cooked for them, and it always seemed unkind to leave the bowl to him.
"I'd better do it." Duan Jin Cheng pointed to the apron on his body, and Chen Qingwu realized that he hadn't taken off his apron since he finished stir-frying, as if he was just waiting to wash the dishes before using it.
"No, no, no, I'll come, I'll come."
She reached for his apron, and in a hurry, she almost grabbed his hand.
When Duan Jin Cheng saw her posture, he knew that if she didn't wash this bowl today, she was uneasy, as if she had taken advantage.
"Since you want to wash it so much, let you wash it." He took off his apron and handed it to her.
There was still his temperature on the apron, Chen Qingwu held it in the palm of her hand, it was slightly hot, she was embarrassed to wear it immediately, and it felt like she had a skin-to-skin relationship with him.
Duan Jin Cheng didn't know that her girl's Huaichun mind was twisted and turned, so he walked to the kitchen and pointed to the pot and lid on the gas stove, reminding her not to forget to wash them.
Chen Qingwu answered, and he went out.
The kitchen was quiet, and the sycamore leaves made a soft sound against the window frame, and she thought for a while before she started to wash the dishes.
Duan Jin Cheng obviously only made three dishes and one soup, and when she washed the dishes, she didn't know where there were so many extra pots and pans, and she washed out a thin sweat.
When Chen Qingwu cleaned up the kitchen and came out, Duan Jincheng was already talking to Mai Mai. The sun is abundant outside the window, and the high temperature can be seen by the naked eye, and the two of them sit in the living room, the fan is turning slowly, and there is a kind of escape from the world.
Chen Qingwu glanced at the apron on her body, and then at the big and small figures, and suddenly had an illusion of a family of three, although she had already vaguely remembered what it was like to be a family of three.
What do you think!
She patted her head and secretly laughed at herself that there were so many scenes today.
----
This may be the most comfortable summer vacation Duan Jincheng has ever had, in the past summer vacations, he was either moving bricks at the construction site or delivering goods in the community, and there are only a handful of days when he can sit peacefully under the fan.
Perhaps it was because he was so comfortable that he felt that life passed quickly.
Chen Qingwu also felt that the days passed so quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, the summer vacation was coming to an end.
Fu Hongying left Mai Mai a relaxing time before school started, in August
On the day of the twentieth, she asked Duan Jin Cheng out and paid him his salary.
This summer vacation, Mai Mai followed Duan Jincheng and Chen Qingwu, and his personality was also much more cheerful, Fu Hongying gave Duan Jincheng an extra 500 yuan in order to express her gratitude, but Duan Jincheng did not accept it.
The tutor's salary is already a good income for Duan Jincheng, he is short of money but not greedy.
The first thing Duan Jincheng did when he received his salary was to contact Chen Qingwu on QQ.
It's a pity that Chen Qingwu didn't log on to QQ for two days, and it was two days after she received Duan Jincheng's message, Duan Jincheng said on QQ that he wanted to invite her to a meal to thank her, and asked her when she was free.
Chen Qingwu thought that it was not easy for him to make money, so he shirked that he was not available this week, or he would forget it.
is obviously a dark avatar, but as soon as her news came out, he replied in seconds.
"If you're not available this week, then next week, how about next Monday?"
Chen Qingwu was about to excuse herself on the grounds that "the weather is too hot", but Duan Jincheng seemed to be able to sense it in the air, and rushed ahead of her and said, "I checked, next Monday will be cloudy, and it won't be sun."
This is to make it clear that she has to be invited.
Chen Qingwu knew that he insisted on inviting her to dinner, but he didn't want to owe her favors.
"Alright, then Monday, you choose."
"How's Wo Fung Plaza?"
"Okay."
The two agreed on a time, and Duan Jin Chengcheng went offline.
Chen Qingwu looked at the chat interface, and suddenly felt nervous that they were about to go on a date.
She immediately got up and went to the closet.
This summer, my sister-in-law bought her two skirts, one white, bubble short sleeves, Korean, one bright yellow, slim lapels, wearing a proper temperament lady, she personally likes white, but my sister-in-law said that this bright yellow shows her skin whiter.
Chen Qingwu was a little entangled for a while, so he opened QQ's request to send a video call to Wu Minya.
Wu Minya picked it up quickly.
"What's wrong, Qingwu?"
"What are you doing?"
"Chat."
"And Mu Yiyang?"
"Nasty." Wu Minya sent a long list of shy expressions, this is 100% Mu Yiyang.
They are developing steadily.
"Can you help me choose a dress?" Chen Qingwu said.
"Choosing a dress? What meeting are you going to?"
"It's not."
Chen Qingwu didn't want to say it, but Wu Minya is a person who can dig three feet into the ground for you with a little clues, and under her questioning, Chen Qingwu still said that he would go to dinner with Duan Jincheng on Monday.
"You're on a date." Wu Minya finalized the chapter.
"You and Mu Yiyang have watched so many movies, do you count as dating?" Chen Qingwu asked rhetorically.
"Count."
Chen Qingwu was shocked by this answer.
"Yaya, are you two dating?"
Chen Qingwu pondered the word "relationship" for a while before she lowered her voice and said it, she always felt that it was hot and did not dare to say it easily.
"It's not so official, I don't know how to explain it, anyway, the two of us said that we would go to the university in Nancheng together. You know, my two grades are half a pound and eight taels, as long as the college entrance examination is not abnormal or abnormal, I should be able to take the exam together."
Chen Qingwu suddenly felt a little envious.
Everyone knows that high school is not a suitable stage for talking about relationships, but if the two have the same mind and can work hard for the same goal, then this road of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, no matter how tragic it is, there is one more thing to rely on.
And she and Duan Jincheng, reality dooms them to the same goal.
