When they were halfway through breakfast, the furniture delivery guy arrived first and called them to ask where they were? Why didn't they see them?
Yan Chen said, "Please wait a moment, we may arrive in about ten minutes."
Xiang Jin hurriedly called the boss to pay the bill.
Yan Chen took out the money to pay the boss and asked them to take away the two baskets of steamed dumplings that they had not yet eaten.
Xiang Jin pointed to the plate of unfinished fried rice noodles in front of her and said, "Boss, there's also this, pack it for me too, I'll take it away!"
"Okay! Wait a moment!"
The boss took the money and gave Yan Chen change, while the lady boss took the foam box and two plastic bags to pack them, and also put two pairs of disposable chopsticks inside.
When the two arrived at their house, they saw that the corridor of the building was full of furniture and household items. At the same time, the people who delivered home appliances came. However, because the aisle was occupied by the people who delivered furniture first, their home appliances were also occupied.
Only a refrigerator and a washing machine were delivered first, and the rest, such as the TV and air conditioner, were still placed on the small train in the garage.
The two of them nodded apologetically, then pushed past and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the furniture delivery person took the lead in moving the furniture into the house one by one and gently.
Because when Xiang Jin and Yan Chen chose furniture, they both chose wooden furniture that was light, hard, and simple in style. They never chose a piece of furniture that contained marble or heavy wood.
, so they can move it quickly.
After the furniture in the front was moved into the house, the home appliances in the back also came in one after another. After they placed the assembly parts of each product in their proper places, both parties began to assemble and install them in an orderly manner.
.
Xiang Jin saw that they had nothing to do for the time being, so he pulled Yan Chen to the walkway outside and started eating the food they had not finished taking away at that time.
In fact, Yan Chen has never been used to eating while standing outside or eating while walking. He is used to eating at the dining table at home because he thinks it is unhygienic.
So he said, "Don't eat it if it's cold. I'll take you to eat hot food when the place is ready!"
Xiang Jin said, "It's not cold, it's still hot. If you don't believe me, why don't you try one?" Then she put a steamed dumpling to his lips, "Hmm?!"
Yan Chen looked at the steamed dumplings for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and ate the steamed dumplings.
"Really? It's still hot, right?!"
Yan Chen said, "It's warm."
Xiang Jin directly stuffed the box of steamed dumplings into his hand, "Take this, I'll eat my fried rice noodles too," she said, then opened her box of fried rice noodles and started eating.
stand up.
Xiang Jin saw that he hadn't been moving for a long time, so he said, "Eat, why don't you eat? It will be really cold if you don't eat! I said Mr. Yan, let's not be so particular outside. You are so useless."
The habit of not eating at all needs to be changed!
You see, appliances and furniture are being installed inside. The whole room is full of smoke and smoke. Even if there are dining tables and chairs there, we can't go in to eat?
If we encounter some natural or man-made disaster, we can only be forced to stay outside without being able to go home. Then if you are hungry, you will not eat?
Moreover, when the people in the army are engaged in field training and training, they often just eat a biscuit outside. You should know this better than me, right?"
Seeing her little mouth opening and closing non-stop, Yan Chen laughed helplessly, then picked up a steamed dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth, "Eat yours quickly, how can you do that?"
Talkative?"
Food was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. Xiang Jin glared at him. Yan Chen smiled and coaxed, "Hey, eat quickly. I'll eat too. I didn't say I wouldn't eat." After that, he picked up the food.
Put a steamed dumpling into your mouth and start chewing it.
Seeing him eating, the expression on Xiang Jin's face changed a little, and then she started chewing. After she swallowed the food in her mouth, Yan Chen put another one to her mouth, and she opened her mouth to eat it.
Then he waved his hands and said, "I won't eat. You can eat. I'll eat fried rice noodles."
Yan Chen reached out and took a handful of fried rice noodles from her lunch box and ate it. He thought it tasted pretty good, so he said, "Let's eat together!"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin presented the fan box he was holding in front of him.
So the two of them shared the food in each other's food boxes with chopsticks, and soon a box of fried rice noodles and a box of steamed dumplings were eaten by the two of them while standing outside.
After eating, Xiang Jin still had some unfinished thoughts and said, "It's a pity that we didn't pack the tea tree mushroom soup together. In fact, that one can also be packed."
Yan Chen took out an envelope of tissues from his trouser pocket, handed one to her, and then used another one himself. "Okay, let's pack it up and take it away next time we encounter a situation like this." After that, he took another one from the side.
He took a thermos cup from the window sill, then unscrewed the lid and handed the water cup to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin took it, took two sips, handed it back to him, and then went to clean up the trash. He took two sips from the water glass, and then screwed the lid on again.
Xiang Jin put away the garbage, and then Yan Chen said, "Let's go in and see how well everything is installed?"
"good!"
When the two of them entered, the furniture had already installed two beds, and the other two beds were being installed. In terms of household appliances, a TV, a washing machine, a refrigerator, and an air conditioner were installed.
It seems that this home appliance is taking up more time today.
Sure enough, the furniture delivery side had everything done a dozen minutes after eleven, but the home appliance installation side didn't finish until half past twelve.
Both of them are people with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so they couldn't see the house in a mess. After the installation workers left, the two of them tidied up the house again, and the last time came directly to 1:30.
Looking at the neatly arranged furniture and appliances and the brand-new look of the house, Yan Chen said, "Let's go, let's go eat first."
"What to eat?" Xiang Jin asked him.
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. We can eat whatever you like."
Xiang Jin counted on his fingers, "We have eaten Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Cantonese cuisine here, and we have also eaten some Anhui cuisine. We can cook Hunan and Sichuan cuisine at home. How about we eat Shandong cuisine?"
?I heard that the Nine-turn Fat Sausage, the Deep-fried Double Crispy Sausage, and the Texas Braised Chicken are all delicious, let’s go and try them?”
"Okay, I listen to you, let's go eat that Shandong cuisine, and then find a barber shop to cut your hair shorter."
"good!"
The two took a taxi to a famous Shandong restaurant in Shanghai, where they ordered several classic Shandong dishes, including the three mentioned by Xiang Jin before, and finally ordered one of the first-grade tofu.
After Yan Chen looked at the menu, he asked Xiang Jin, "Would you like your favorite sweet and sour fish?"
The waiter standing aside said, "Yes, yes, we also have the Sixi Meatballs, Braised Sea Cucumbers with Green Onions, Braised Fish Fillets, and Braised Prawns. They are all classic and popular dishes. Many people like them.
If you like these, would you like to try them together?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "No, I won't be able to finish it by then, so let's just start with these and order others next time."
"Okay, that's it, then," Yan Chen handed the menu back to the waiter on the side, and the waiter nodded quickly, "Oh, oh, ok, that's fine, you two, please wait a moment, we will make arrangements right away.
The chef makes it in the kitchen."
The two of them nodded, and then the waiter left with the menu in hand.
Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "After today's meal, we almost have only one Fujian dish that we haven't eaten yet. When can we eat it?"
"good!"
"Speaking of which, after eating so many cuisines, which one is your favorite?" Xiang Jin asked.
Yan Chen said, "I like to eat the food you cook!"
Xiang Jin squinted at him while drinking water, "I don't believe it. I'm not a chef. How can the food I cook be so delicious? I still know this!"
Yan Chen said, "Well, yes, although you are not a chef, the food you cook tastes unique and tastes like home and love. I like it!"
The corners of Xiang Jin's lips curled up, "Then I'll cook more for you in the future."
"Okay!" Yan Chen smiled.
After finishing the meal and paying the bill, Xiang Jin asked the waiter, "Let me inquire about it. I saw that there are several barber shops near your place. Which one has good workmanship?"
The waiter said, "When it comes to craftsmanship, there is a beautiful barber shop on the left-hand corner opposite. The master there is an old craftsman. His family has been doing barbering for four generations.
In the early days of their grandpa’s generation, that is, during the Republic of China, their grandpa’s family specialized in doing hair for rich ladies and ladies.
Later, their family passed down the craftsmanship that their great-grandfather had. It has been passed down to the fourth generation of their family now. There are more than a dozen people in the family who cut hair and style hair. You can definitely go to their house.
That's right.
Their haircuts are not only beautiful in style, but also reasonably priced. They are very popular in our area. Many people go to them to get haircuts. Don’t look at the many barbershops outside that are very luxurious and decorated.
It's grand, but the craftsmanship of the chefs inside is not that good at all, and it's also very expensive.
There are three barbers in their shop, old, middle-aged and young, and they are all grandpas. There is an old man, a middle-aged aunt, and a young man. If you go there at this time, there should not be many people, so you can just pick one for comparison.
The person you like is giving you a haircut."
"Oh, okay, thank you," Xiang Jin nodded, then took the change from the waiter's hand and walked out of the restaurant.
Xiang Jin took Yan Chen's arm and said to him, "Then let's go to that barber shop that has been passed down for generations?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
Xiang Jin looked at his hair, then raised her hand to stroke a strand of bangs on his forehead, "It seems your hair is a bit long too, do you want to get it trimmed later too?"
"Can!"
The two people crossed the road and then found the barber shop called Liangliang. The barber shop didn't look very big outside, but after walking in, it was still 50 or 60 square meters. As expected, there were three people, old, middle-aged and young, getting haircuts there.
Teacher, and all three of them are busy.
Then a front desk lady greeted them and said, "Welcome!"
Xiang Jin nodded to the other party, and then said, "We want to get a haircut."
The lady at the front desk nodded and said, "Okay, but you two have to wait a moment first. Several of our chefs are busy right now, so I have to trouble you to come over here and wait in line."
Xiang Jin and the others went over to wait. Fortunately, they were the first wave of people to wait. Even if they had to wait, they probably wouldn't have to wait long.
The lady at the front desk very thoughtfully brought them some picture books of that hairstyle style so that they could see what kind of haircut they wanted to have later.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen looked through it.
Sure enough, after a while, the young barber took the lead in cutting a young man's hair. The young man went to the front desk to pay and then left. Then the young barber looked at Xiang Jin and Yan Chen.
one, and then asked, "Do you both want to deal with it?"
Xiang Jin nodded, and then the young barber asked, "Which one of you will come first?"
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said, "You go ahead and wait for the aunt to take care of me. I think she will be here soon!"
Yan Chen nodded, then closed the hair style album, and then walked towards the other person. After the other person washed his hair, he asked him what kind of haircut he wanted.
Yan Chen said, "Just trim it a little based on the original hairstyle."
The other party looked at him in the mirror and nodded, then picked up a pair of scissors and a comb and started trimming him.
Soon it was Xiang Jin's turn. After washing her hair, the middle-aged aunt asked her what kind of haircut she wanted. Xiang Jin said, "I just want to cut it shorter, but still."
It looks like it can be tied up.”
The other party grabbed a handful of her thick hair and showed it to her, "Is it okay to keep it this long for you to see?"
Xiang Jin said, "My hair is usually tied high on the back of my head. If you leave it this length, will the hair on the lower back of my head be tied up?"
Then the other person lifted her hair up again, and finally showed her another length, "This length is fine. Whether it is tied high or low, all your hair can be tied up."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, just this length!"
Then the other party took out a comb and first combed all her hair neatly. Then with a few "click" and "click" sounds, she cut off almost twenty centimeters of her waist-length hair.
The middle-aged aunt trimmed her hair carefully while chatting with her and said, "The girl's hair is of good quality. The roots are dark and shiny, and it is neither thick nor thin. It has the right thickness and softness.
Why are you willing to cut it off?"
Xiang Jin said, "My hair is a bit curly and too long. It gets tangled easily after I wash it frequently, which makes it difficult to distance myself. Moreover, every time I blow dry my hair, it takes a long time to dry it. It's very troublesome, so
I just wanted to keep her short."
The middle-aged aunt nodded, and then said to her, "Your hair is a little naturally curly, but its quality is very good. Little girl, you must not get your hair done in the future.
For example, those that are permed or dyed are full of chemical ingredients, which are very harmful to the hair quality."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiang Jin felt that this Auntie was a conscientious businessman. She didn't want to be like some barber shop owners, who tried their best to get you to spend more in their shop, and wished they could defraud them of all the money in your pocket.
Put it in your pocket, for example, the popular straightening boards, or roll it into wire curls, dye your hair in a weird color, etc.
The middle-aged aunt said nonchalantly, "Hey, it's okay. Some little girls don't understand this and just pursue fashion. In fact, only us barber shop owners know the inside story. You little girl yourself
You just look good, there’s no need to go to any extra trouble, it’s just right for you, Auntie, I’ll tell you the truth.”
Xiang Jin followed and said, "Auntie, I heard that you have been practicing this for many generations. We came to you today after hearing about it."
The aunt burst into laughter immediately, and the business was very lively, "Yes, our store has been open since the Republic of China, that is, my grandfather's generation. My grandfather was doing hair.
The craftsmanship was very good. At that time, many rich ladies and young ladies from rich families came to us to get their hair done.
Later, my father also learned barbering from my grandfather, and then our brothers and sisters also learned from them, and then several of the younger generations in our family also learned from us, and then there were four generations of barbers in our family.
Because there are more than a dozen people in my family who are engaged in this business, and the store is not large, so several of my other brothers, sisters and nephews have gone to other places to open stores.”
Xiang Jin praised, "It's amazing, your family actually has more than a dozen hairdressers."
The middle-aged aunt said, "Hey, I have no choice but to support my family. Do you want to trim your bangs in the front?"
"Well, we can fix it."
"Okay, I'll save you some details upfront, so that it will look more natural when the time comes."
"Okay, I don't understand this. You often get haircuts, so you must know how to trim them appropriately. Then I'll trouble Auntie."
The aunt said, "No trouble, no trouble. It's our duty to design hairstyles that satisfy customers."
Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, your business is so prosperous and highly praised by people. I think it's not just because your family is a fourth-generation old store, but also because of your honest attitude towards people. To be honest, I'm very impressed.
I was so moved that I recommended your shop to my friends and asked them to come to you for haircuts.”
The middle-aged aunt laughed again and said, "Oh, that's great. Auntie, thank you."
Xiang Jin said, "No, no, it should be."
Yan Chen's hair was repaired very quickly, and it was trimmed in a short time. Then he walked to the front desk to pay, and then sat next to him to wait for Xiang Jin.
After about ten minutes, Xiang Jin's hair was finished, and then she went to wash her hair with the middle-aged aunt, and then blow-dried her hair. Finally, she stood forward and turned to face Yan.
Chen said, "Does it look good?"
Yan Chen looked at her and nodded, "Well, it looks good!"
Satisfied, Xiang Jin turned his head away again, then looked at the mirror in front of him, picked up a comb and a rubber band and tied his hair into a high ponytail, "But I still feel so comfortable."
The two came out of the barber shop, and then Yan Chen looked at her and said, "Shall we go to the housing agency?"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin nodded, then took his arm and tilted his head to look at him before he regretted it, "No, let's go directly to the mall first, buy some ingredients there and take them home first."
Yan Chen looked at her and said, "Don't you go to the agency first?"
Xiang Jin said, "Let's buy the ingredients."
Yan Chen said, "But I'm worried that you won't want to come out again when you go home."
Xiang Jin nodded, "I think what you said makes sense, so what should I do? I went to the agency first. I'm sure I won't want to go back so far to go to the mall. But I went to the mall to buy something, and then took it with me.
When we go to the agency, we don’t know how long we will be delayed there, so what if the ingredients we buy are spoiled?”
Yan Chen asked her, "What other ingredients do we have at home?"
Xiang Jin said, "Just two eggs, some vegetables, and a piece of meat."
Yan Chen said, "A piece of pork belly is enough. Let's eat a little simpler tonight. We will go to the mall to buy some vegetables, such as two tomatoes and two cucumbers. Then we will make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and plums."
Zhuang white meat, and then make pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup."
"What about tomorrow morning?" Xiang Jin asked again.
Yan Chen said, "Let's just eat something outside tomorrow morning."
Xiang Jin said, "It's a long way to go. Isn't there a snack bar near our home?"
Yan Chen asked, "Then what ingredients do you want to buy?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't know, let's go and take a look first."
Yan Chen then said, "How about we go to the housing agency tomorrow morning? They go to work at nine in the morning, and our furniture won't be delivered until ten o'clock. There is an hour in between, which is completely enough."
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, then go to the agency tomorrow morning."
Then Yan Chen said, "But we have to go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, like this morning, we will be in a hurry again."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
So the two of them went straight to the shopping mall near their home.
Just as the two of them were pushing the cart to select ingredients in the mall, Xiang Jin's cell phone rang at this moment. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Lei Jia's call. She answered it without hesitation.
Get up, "Hey, Lei Jia?!"
"Xiang Jin, what's your plan? Do you want to come over to our place to play?" Lei Jia said straight to the point on the other end of the phone.
Xiang Jin said, "I was just about to call you. We have something to do these two days and can't leave. Do you want to come over and play?"
Lei Jia said, "You are all busy, why don't I go over and play?"
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but it just needs some time. Didn't my brother buy a house here before? He wants to rent it out, but the house here needs to have furniture inside.
He rented it out, so we bought him some simple furniture and made an appointment to have it delivered to his door tomorrow."
"Your brother has bought a house here?" Lei Jia asked in surprise.
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, it's not that big. He doesn't have much money. He only has a small apartment for two. Now because money is a bit tight, he wants to rent out the house to collect some rent."
"Oh, that's it?!"
"Yes, are you coming? If so, I will pick you up at the station then. But it may be tomorrow afternoon. I really can't get away in the morning. I can take you around here the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"
Lei Jia hesitated on the other end of the phone and said, "Okay, then I'll come find you."
"Okay, then you buy the tickets and tell me so I can make arrangements then."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, the two continued to select ingredients.
After returning home, the two of them put away the ingredients and each took a bath, then went back to the house to take a nap together.
Just when both of them were sleeping, a sudden ringing of the phone woke them up. Xiang Jin took the phone and saw that it was Lei Jia calling. She pressed the answer button and said, "Hello?"
"Xiang Jin, are you taking a lunch break right now?" Lei Jia's apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry for disturbing you!"
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, tell me, what's the matter? Did you buy the ticket? What time was it?"
Lei Jia said, "The tickets for tomorrow afternoon have basically been sold out, and there are still tickets for the morning, so I bought the morning ticket for ten o'clock. It will probably be around eleven o'clock when I get to your place. I just wanted to
Let me tell you, just tell me your address and I will drive to you by myself so you don’t have to pick me up."
"Is that so? Okay, I'll send it to you later!"
"Oh, okay, that's it, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow, please pay more attention to safety on the road!"
"OK!"
After Xiang Jin hung up the phone, he immediately edited a text message and sent it to her. Soon she received a reply from Lei Jia, "Okay, received!"
After she put down the phone, Yan Chen reached out and took her into his arms. Xiang Jin found a comfortable position in his arms and closed his eyes again.
Suddenly, Xiang Jin's lips were captured by Yan Chen. Xiang Jin suddenly opened his eyes. Yan Chen paused briefly and continued.
After kissing her for a while, he hugged her and said, "Your classmate is here, how will you arrange for her then?"
"How to arrange for her? She must live here with us?"
Yan Chen frowned, "So, we won't be able to be together for a few days?"
Xiang Jin reached out and rubbed his cheek, "Why don't we stay together anymore? Are we still together every day?"
Yan Chen took off her troublesome hands and said, "You should know exactly what I mean. We can't lie together and sleep together like now."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, no!"
Yan Chen took the opportunity to explain, "Then you have to promise me a few things?!"
"What's the matter, tell me?!"
Yan Chen said, "First, don't let her wear your pajamas. Our pajamas are for couples, so what's the point of her wearing them?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, I agree!"
Yan Chen then said, "So, you call her and ask her to prepare herself for sleep, or we can go to the mall to prepare a new set for her."
Xiang Jin said, "Then prepare one set, what about the second one?"
Yan Chen said, "The second thing is that you can't let her sleep in your room. Make another bed for her. You are mine, not even a woman!" As he said that, he hugged her very close to him domineeringly.
Hug, let the two people's bodies stick together tightly.
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then rubbed his cheeks vigorously, "You jealous person, why are you even jealous of girls? I have never been jealous of you.
Are your friends jealous?"
Yan Chen said, "I don't care, you have to agree anyway!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, I agree! Is there anything else?" She was not used to living in the same room with others, so Lei Jia naturally stayed in another room when she came.
Yan Chen said, "The third thing is that you have to compensate me!"
"Compensate you? Why should I compensate you? Compensate you for what?" Her classmate is here, and she won't ignore him. Aren't they still together?
Yan Chen looked at her jokingly, "What do you think?"
Xiang Jin said, "How would I know? Oh, you are afraid that my classmate will come, and then you will only talk to my classmate and ignore you, right?"
Yan Chen's face turned dark.
Xiang Jin thought he had guessed it, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't neglect you. Even if my classmates are here, I will still be very enthusiastic about you."
Yan Chen's eyes darkened, "Really?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Of course!"
Yan Chen said, "Okay, then you will compensate me now?"
"Hey, I already said I won't neglect you, so why do you still need to ask me for compensation?"
Yan Chen put his mouth to her ear and said, "If you don't sleep with me for the next few days, it means I won't be able to kiss you for a few days. Do you think you should compensate me?"
Xiang Jin's head immediately buzzed, and she felt a lot of bees buzzing around her ears.
Before she could find the words to respond, Yan Chen suddenly raised her chin and leaned towards her again.
After a long, gentle and romantic kiss, Yan Chen hugged her and asked, "Do you still want to sleep?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "I can't sleep."
Yan Chen suggested, "Then let's get up and go to the housing agency to hang out your brother's house to save us the rush tomorrow morning. Then we'll go to the mall to prepare your classmate's pajamas, and then we'll be ready
Come back in time to make dinner?”
Xiang Jin raised his head and asked, "What time is it now?"
Yan Chen grabbed the phone on the bedside table with his backhand and took a look at it, "It's a little after four o'clock. There's still more than an hour before they get off work. There's plenty of time."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then the two of them got up and got out of bed. After cleaning up briefly, they took the relevant information and hurried out.
