After the two returned to Shanghai, they did not return home immediately. Instead, they went straight to the hot pot restaurant. The first thing Uncle Zheng Gang said when he saw them was, "Oh, what a coincidence, it was just that moment
The other party suddenly said that they would no longer sell the store."
"Not selling anymore?!" Xiang Jin and Yan Chen frowned suddenly, Xiang Jin said, "Why not selling it again? Didn't you say you are waiting for money urgently?"
Uncle Zheng Gang said, "Yes, they said they were planning to sell that shop to an acquaintance of their family. The other party planned to open a small supermarket or something here, and they said the price was also high."
Xiang Jin said, "Is this a joke?" They flew back from BJ in a hurry, only to say they wouldn't sell it anymore. It was really depressing!
Yan Chen said, "If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. Maybe then we can look at a better store at a lower price."
Xiang Jin said, "That's true." Now affected by the economic crisis, many people are selling off their assets, and many people are in a wait-and-see mode. With so many real estate projects opening in Shanghai, she still doesn't believe that she won't be able to buy a shop in a good location by then.
Son.
Thinking of this, Xiang Jin felt relieved again.
Uncle Zheng Gang asked them, "You haven't had lunch yet, can I go get you something to eat?"
Xiang Jin waved his hand, "Uncle Zheng, no need. We ate the in-flight meal on the plane. We're not very hungry yet. In this case, we'll go back first. We still need to clean up the house and do some work when we get back."
It’s clean and tidy. It’s been unoccupied for so long, so it must have accumulated a lot of dust.”
Uncle Zheng Gang nodded, and the two of them left the hot pot restaurant. Yan Chen suggested to Xiang Jin, "How about we pack some stewed vegetables and go back, and just cook porridge at home in the evening?"
Xiang Jin thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine." By then, she might not want to cook anymore.
So the two of them went to the braised vegetable restaurant next door to pack some braised vegetables, and then took a taxi back.
When passing by a small supermarket, Xiang Jin and the others went in and bought some rice, a small handful of noodles and a pack of vermicelli.
After returning home, after they turned on the water and electricity at home, Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "The clothes and sheets and quilt covers that were dried on the balcony before going back need to be taken off and put in the washing machine and washed again.
If you're not at home, there must be a lot of dust on it."
Yan Chen said, "Yes!"
So the two of them went to collect the clothes and bedsheets on the balcony, then put them in the washing machine for cleaning, and then they cleaned up together.
In the end, it took almost an hour and a half to clean up the house, and then made the bed. Looking at the bright and clear windows in front of him, and the spotless house they had tidied up, Xiang Jin's lips curled up, "I
Why does it feel like the light in the room is brighter than when we first came back?"
Yan Chen also smiled and said, "It's indeed much more pleasing to the eye!"
Xiang Jin said, "Then I'll take a shower first, change out of these clothes, and throw them into the washing machine to wash them together later?"
"Okay! Go ahead, I'll make the porridge in the pot first."
"Well, okay!"
About half an hour later, Xiang Jin came out of the shower, and then asked Yan Chen to go in to wash. When Yan Chen came out, the washing machine in the bathroom beeped again, so the two of them went to dry the clothes together, pretending to be drying the clothes in the washing machine.
After taking out all the clothes, they threw the ones they had just changed into the washing machine for cleaning.
There was nothing to do after that, so Yan Chen took her back to the house and said, "Let's go and rest for a while."
Xiang Jin asked, "But there are still clothes being washed in the washing machine?"
Yan Chen said, "It won't be cleaned well for a while. At worst, we will just clean it again when we wake up."
"What about the porridge you made?"
Yan Chen said, "I cooked the porridge in a rice cooker, so don't worry, it won't get cold. Okay, let's go, let's take a nap and rest for a while!"
Xiang Jin was speechless, but she still obeyed him because she did feel a little tired.
After returning to the room, Xiang Jin went to bed and lay down. After Yan Chen closed the curtains, he covered her directly. When she met his dark eyes, Xiang Jin immediately understood what he wanted to do, so she
She reached out and cupped his cheek and asked with a teasing face, "Don't you want to sleep? What are you doing?"
Yan Chen stared at her and said, "Before going to bed, I will reward you first!"
Xiang Jin said, "But I want to sleep?"
Yan Chen said, "Sleep after the rewards are over."
Xiang Jin said, "I won't be able to sleep if you act like this!"
Yan Chen said, "Then don't sleep. Let's go to bed early tonight."
Xiang Jin said, "You say that every time, but when did you let me go to bed early?"
Yan Chen laughed, and then said, "I will let you go to bed early tonight," and as he said that, his head slowly moved closer to her.
When their lips touched, Xiang Jin's hands involuntarily wrapped around his neck.
After the kiss ended, Yan Chen turned over and lay next to her, then kissed her on her left and right cheeks and between her eyebrows, then hugged her and closed her eyes, "Okay, let's sleep?"
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded, and then closed his eyes.
The two of them slept until about eight o'clock in the evening before waking up. At this time, the washing machine had already stopped, and half an hour had passed since the laundry had been washed, so Xiang Jin pressed the start button again.
Key cleaned them again.
After Yan Chen finished the meal, he called her, "Come here for dinner."
"Oh!" Xiang Jin walked over and sat down. After drinking a spoonful of porridge, she asked him, "How should we arrange our time in the next few days?"
Yan Chen asked her, "What arrangements and plans do you have? Or where do you want to go, can I accompany you?"
Xiang Jin said, "Don't you still want to major in architecture? How about we go to Suzhou for a walk in the next two days. There are many garden buildings there. This can provide you with a lot of inspiration."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, I still have selfish motives, that is, I also want to see what the real Suzhou gardens are like. Maybe we can learn a thing or two about the decoration of our future house.
In fact, I have wanted to come to Suzhou for a long time, but I don’t always come here alone. Although Lei Jia has invited me to visit here several times, you also know that according to Lei Jia’s hospitable and face-saving character, I
She will definitely be responsible for everything when she comes, so it will inevitably cause trouble for her. After all, she still relies on her family for support, so it is not easy for me to come here."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. Let's go there alone tomorrow. Then we can have a good time just the two of us."
Xiang Jin nodded sharply, "Yeah, yeah, yes!"
So after dinner, the two took the map and made some travel strategies, then washed up early and went to bed to rest.
Early the next morning, the two of them got up from bed, and after having a casual breakfast outside, they went straight to the train station, where they bought train tickets to Suzhou directly, and then waited for nearly
It took half an hour for the two of them to get on the train.
It happened to be 11:30 noon when they arrived in Suzhou, so after taking a taxi to the city, the two of them found a place to have lunch, and then went to find a hotel to confirm a place to stay for the night.
I picked up my camera and started walking around the streets.
In the next two days, they not only visited the Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Lingering Garden, which are known as the four most famous gardens in China together with BJ's Summer Palace and Chengde's Summer Resort, but also visited the Lion Forest, Huqiu Mountain, and Pingjiang Road.
There are some large and small alleys over there.
While they enjoyed various different scenery and beautiful scenery, they also took pictures. They took pictures in almost every place. Not only did they take pictures of themselves, but Yan Chen also took a lot of architectural materials. In some places, Yan Chen even
I drew a portrait of her.
Of course, while visiting those gardens and forests, they also did not forget to taste the delicacies there, such as Taihu plum bream, Taihu white shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish, and beggar's chicken. They also did not forget to learn about the local customs.
Regarding folk customs, they not only went to the museum to see paintings, but also listened to Kunqu opera and bought a lot of things.
Xiang Jin bought several pieces of embroidery for large screen ornaments and decorative paintings on the wall there. He also bought two sets of couple's silk pajamas each for her and Yan Chen. They also gave them
Yan Chen's grandfather and Xiang Jin's father each bought several Suzhou Hu pens, and each of them bought a sandalwood fan for several middle-aged female compatriots at home.
When they came, they each carried a backpack and a camera. However, when they returned, they had a large box, which was specially used to store the things they bought.
Looking at a large box full of things, Xiang Jin said, "What I am most satisfied with is buying these screen embroidery and wall paintings, as well as those double-sided embroidery ornaments. Look at how vivid and vivid the patterns are.
It's lifelike, just like the real thing. When your BJ's house is decorated, we will take these paintings, frame them and display them inside. They will be absolutely beautiful."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, I want to buy a few of those straw paintings, but they are too big and are really inconvenient to carry."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. Let's come here to buy again next time. We'll drive here by car then."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's right! Let's buy a few more pictures then and put them in our home in the provincial capital. Unfortunately, the new Biluochun tea hasn't come out yet at this time. Otherwise, we can bring some to your grandfather."
.”
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. You bought so much for him before, it's enough for him to drink, and the tea isn't too old."
Xiang Jin said, "I'll buy it for him next time. Anyway, it's not very far from Shanghai. It should be out around mid-March. It will be available in Shanghai by then. I'll buy it for him then."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "My grandpa will be even more arrogant then."
"Huh?!" Xiang Jin looked at him puzzled.
Yan Chen pulled her up from the ground, then hugged her and said, "My grandfather took the tea you bought him and distributed it to his comrades and subordinates in the army. He told them that it was his future."
The grandson's daughter-in-law gave it to him as a filial piety, which made all his old comrades extremely jealous, so you are now considered to be registered in front of their group of old-timers."
"Ah?! Why does Grandpa Yan look like an old kid?" Xiang Jin suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Yan Chen said, "That's how they are. On the surface, they all look very majestic, but in fact, they are all old kids. I'm not used to it."
Xiang Jin chuckled, and then said, "Then let's just have a casual meal outside tonight, and we'll cook by ourselves tomorrow."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!" After saying that, he knelt down and sorted the things in the box with her.
Xiang Jin asked, "Do you want to take these embroidered screens with you when you go back this time?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "It's not necessary for the time being. I don't have anywhere to put it when I bring it back, so I'll leave it here with you. When our house is decorated and opened, I will bring BJ back to find someone to frame it."
.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! Do you have any inspiration in your mind for where to go this time?" Xiang Jin then asked again.
Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, I will draw a few pictures for you to see."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
Yan Chen then discussed with her, "Next time, let's buy a house in Suzhou, the kind with a courtyard."
Xiang Jin asked, "Do you want to buy a set over there?"
Yan Chen said, "In the future, when we get tired of staying in BJ Shanghai, we can stay in Suzhou for a while. The scenery there is good and the pace of life is slower. It should be more comfortable. We can have our own house there.
It also saves you having to stay in a hotel.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "It's okay, I'm afraid that when we buy a house there, we won't have time to live there."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. We don't have time to live there, so we'll let our grandparents and grandparents live there. When we settle down here, we will take them all in and take care of them.
When the time comes when you don’t want to stay in a big city, you can go to Suzhou. There are many gardens there and the scenery is closer to nature. They are used to staying in the countryside, so they should like it better."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! Then we may have to buy a bigger one by then, with at least four or five rooms, just in case my parents and we also come to live there."
Yan Chen said, "That's natural, but it's okay. We can choose slowly and slowly when the time comes, and we can always choose one that satisfies our needs."
"I agree with this!"
After the two quickly packed up everything, they went directly outside to have dinner.
In the next few days, except when Yan Chen accompanied Xiang Jin when she went out to buy groceries, he spent the rest of the time painting and drawing. Xiang Jin did not bother him and let him concentrate on his work. In the last three days,
During this time, he drew a total of more than a dozen house architectural drawings.
Xiang Jin felt that every one of his drawings could be called a classic, but Yan Chen said that only three of them satisfied him the most, and the others were just average.
Xiang Jin couldn't understand it.
Yan Chen smiled and said, "You have never studied painting, so it is normal that you have not studied and understood this."
Xiang Jin curled his lips, "How amazing?!"
The smile on Yan Chen's lips grew wider, and he stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, "Look at her sour tone!"
Xiang Jin asked him, "Then after you obtain a bachelor's degree in architecture, will you still have to work in some design institutes?"
Yan Chen asked her, "Why should I go to work in another unit? Can't I form one myself?"
Xiang Jin's eyes suddenly widened, "What do you want?"
Yan Chen nodded to her with a smile, "Well, we have two pieces of land in our own hands. When we bought the land, we said it would be used for the construction of commercial housing. When the time comes, we can build our own buildings and sell them."
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, this is okay, right? The price of a house is thousands or tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands per square meter, but the cost of building a house is only that little. Our family has two pieces of land.
By then we will be able to build a lot of houses."
Yan Chen said, "Exactly, this is much faster and more effective than buying scattered houses everywhere and then selling them. When the house is sold, we will also have a supporting property management department, which can provide us with services every year.
It’s a lot of profit.”
Xiang Jin said, "Property management should be managed well when the time comes, otherwise we won't be able to do our best and we will be scolded when the time comes."
Yan Chen said, "It's still early, we'll talk about it when the time comes, and our two pieces of land must be developed when they are of maximum value."
Xiang Jin said, "This is true. You can't just sell it so cheaply. Okay, then I support you!"
Yan Chen hugged her and said, "But this is still our fantasy. The most important thing now is that we finish our studies first."
Xiang Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course!" There is nothing more important than this now!
Time passed like this day after day, and in a blink of an eye it was the eve before they started school. After Xiang Jin helped Yan Chen pack everything, Yan Chen directly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
With.
"I really want to pack you up and take you away with me!"
Xiang Jin hugged his waist and raised the corners of his mouth, "Are you talking nonsense again?"
"Can't bear to leave you!"
"I can't bear to leave you, but school starts tomorrow."
"I'm leaving, you have to miss me!"
"Well, I do, I definitely do! Do you miss me too?"
"That's natural!"
Xiang Jin followed and said, "Also, let me remind you, stay away from all maternal creatures, even female mosquitoes. You must always remember that you are a family person? If a female mosquito flies towards you, just
Give him a quick and accurate slap to death!"
Yan Chen laughed and said, "I know, little overbearing, jealous little bucket! Don't worry, no one dares to get close to me, not even female mosquitoes. My body, like my heart, will always belong to you only!"
"It's good to know!"
Yan Chen said, "Are you the same? No male creatures are allowed to come near, not even male mosquitoes! You must pay attention to safety when you go out."
Xiang Jin said, "Well, I know, don't worry, I usually live on campus, and there aren't even any mosquitoes in our dormitory, let alone male mosquitoes?
Besides, many people in our school know that I have a boyfriend from Peking University. That man is much more outstanding and better than them in appearance and talent. How narcissistic and conceited a person must be to come to me to gain a sense of presence.
ah?
Anyone with eyes can see that. As long as I am not blind or a fool, I will definitely choose you, and they will not humiliate themselves by coming to flatter me and get close to me."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Well, that's right! There is a prize, and I will give you the grand prize later!"
Xiang Jin's face turned slightly red, "You're not serious again!"
Yan Chen said, "Be honest with outsiders, but why should you be honest with insiders?"
Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned redder.
Yan Chen said, "Okay, you go and wash up first. Let's go to bed early tonight."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah!"
When they got up the next morning, Xiang Jin and the others made a simple breakfast first, then took off the bed sheets and quilt covers and washed them. Following Han Che's call, they asked if they had packed it away. If so, they
He came over.
Han Che also arrived in Shanghai at the same time yesterday. When he arrived, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. Because there were still some preserved meats to sort out, they hadn't met yet, so they said they might as well get together today, because
He had to send Yan Chen to the airport anyway, and Yan Chen and the others had no objection. It just so happened that he and Xiang Jin could spend more time alone.
Yan Chen held the phone and said, "It will probably take more than an hour, I'm cleaning now!"
"Okay, then I'll come back in an hour."
Xiang Jin was stunned. They were not busy anymore. They had already finished cleaning up what they should have done?
After Yan Chen hung up the phone, he pulled Xiang Jin back to the room, pressed her directly on the bed, and attacked her with a kiss like a storm.
This time, Xiang Jin was not reserved and responded to him as enthusiastically as last night, because they both knew that after this separation, they could only meet again during the summer vacation, and they might not meet again at that time.
How long will they stay, because they will each start a month-long military training at the beginning of August.
Yan Chen suddenly stood up and took out the remote control from the drawer of the bedside table, then turned on the air conditioner in the room, then walked over and closed the door and windows.
"Ajin?!" He called her.
"Huh?!" Xiang Jin responded.
Yan Chen walked over and covered her again...
The two of them continued this fuss for more than half an hour before they stopped. Seeing that her snow-white skin had been planted with many strawberries, especially the places on her chest that were particularly eye-catching, the corners of Yan Chen's lips curled up.
A satisfactory arc was achieved.
Then he hugged her close to her ear and said to her in a low and hoarse voice, "Be careful when taking a shower at school so that no one can see the marks on your body?"
Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned red, but he still nodded, "Well, we went a little too far today."
Yan Chen hugged her and chuckled. There was a point where he almost couldn't hold it back. He turned her around and kissed her again, and then went all the way down.
Xiang Jin suddenly trembled, hugged him and said, we should get up, otherwise Han Che will be here later."
"Well, good!"
Yan Chen got up and got out of bed, then picked up the two people's clothes from the ground, and then dressed them up. Then Xiang Jin went to the bathroom to tidy up his hair again.
As soon as the two of them had sorted everything out, Han Che called again, telling them to go to the gate of the community to pick up their things, and he delivered the cured meat to them.
Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "What a coincidence. If you had arrived earlier, you could still have some bacon before going back to BJ."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it will be the same when I come over during the summer vacation."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, that's the only way."
Yan Chen held her hand and couldn't help but kiss her cheek again.
Xiang Jin smiled, then stood up on tiptoes and kissed the corner of his lips, "Okay, let's go out quickly?"
"Well, good!"
When they arrived, Han Che was already waiting at the gate of their community. Looking at the several plastic bags in front of him, Xiang Jin asked in shock, "Did you carry them all the way here?"
Han Che said, "No, my second uncle drove here."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then she and Yan Chen went over and carried a bag each. Xiang Jin was carrying a bag of dried vegetables, which contained dried cowpeas, dried eggplants, and dried cucumber slices, while Yan Chen was carrying a bag of dried vegetables.
The first one was a bag of cured meats, and Han Che helped them carry the remaining bag of cured meats.
After returning home, when Xiang Jin put the cured meats in the refrigerator, she saw that her family had brought them all for her.
Not only did he bring her four pieces of bacon, he also brought her three pieces of cured fish, followed by two bunches of cured sausages weighing two to three kilograms each, a cured pig head, two cured pig knuckles and two cured pig ears.
When I finally put it away, the refrigerator and freezer compartments were immediately full.
Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "We can eat this for a year by then."
Yan Chen said, "If you want to eat it, just come over and cook it on the weekend. You don't have to wait for me to come back."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, I know!"
After tidying up the kitchen again, the two walked out of the hall, and then said to Han Che, "Let's go and eat!"
"Oh, okay!" Han Che stood up immediately and followed a few people downstairs.
