Chu Heng stood outside a small courtyard, looking at the old door and windows in the courtyard, with traces of repairs everywhere, as if a hut was made of broken bricks and tiles, and he couldn't help but frown.
If there's a strong wind, this thing will collapse, right?
"hey-hey."
Li Yiqiang grinned and said: "This house looks shabby, but the materials are very solid. You will know when you come in and take a look."
With that said, he pushed open the white-painted fence door in front of him and enthusiastically invited Chu Heng and the others in.
"Come in quickly, Master Chu, Brother Hao."
"This yard is pretty well organized."
The two brothers walked into the small courtyard. There was a red brick path in the middle, and vegetable gardens on both sides. They were lush green and had many varieties. In addition to cabbage, carrots, onions, rapeseed, and broccoli, there were also several types of vegetables that they did not recognize.
.
"My sister planted them all, and I don't even need to know what they are called." Li Yiqiang said with a smile.
Chu Heng looked at the two green vegetable fields and couldn't help but sigh.
According to his understanding of Li Jiangqi, that girl was a bit romantic. In the past, she should have planted flowers in this yard, but she did not expect that she would plant a whole yard of vegetables with her own hands.
It seems that the changes in her family and life have changed her a lot.
He shook his head and came to the hut. Li Yiqiang slowly opened the rotten old wooden door, but did not remind Li Jiangqi who had returned from get off work. He gave Chu Heng a look, holding back a bad smile on his face, wanting to give My sister is a little surprised.
Chu Heng was also a stickler, so he immediately understood what was happening and walked slowly into the house with his hands behind his back.
The house is not large, and after removing the two bedrooms and bathroom, there is not much space left, so the kitchen and living room are mixed together, which makes it look much more spacious, but it is still cramped.
But it all depends on where it is compared. If compared with the tube buildings and courtyards in China, the living environment here is already very good.
At this time, Li Jiangqi was standing in front of the stove preparing dinner with his back to the door. An apron was tied around his waist. His long black hair hung down like a waterfall, and his back was beautiful and peaceful.
"Tap tap tap."
When she heard the footsteps, she subconsciously thought that her brother was back. After all, they had few friends here, so she didn't look back. She just asked casually: "Why are you back so early today? You should take a shower and rest for a while."
, it will take a while for my dish to be ready."
"Hey, jujube cores can also cook rice!"
Chu Heng looked at her back with a smile, his tone was frivolous and lazy.
Li Jiangqi, who was cutting vegetables, suddenly froze.
Jujube core...
Once upon a time, she hated this nickname so much.
But now, I feel even more intimate.
Not many people knew this nickname, and even fewer dared to call it in front of her.
So far, only Sun Tzu dares to do this.
But, how is it possible?
She turned around hurriedly and saw Chu Heng standing at the door. He had a naughty smile on his face, a sense of ease and ease in his whole body, his eyes were bright, and his spirit was shining brightly.
A high-spirited and confident person who refuses to accept heaven or earth.
Still the same smug look.
"Sun... no, Chu Chuchu... you, you, you..."
After a few months, in a foreign country, she was speechless again when she saw the guy who once made her hate him so much that she grinded her teeth in the middle of the night, but now made her grateful and thought she would never see him again in this life.
Li Jiangqi's moist eyes widened, her cherry mouth opened slightly, and her flawless and delicate face was full of astonishment.
She really couldn't figure out why Chu Heng appeared here.
"What are you doing..." After a brief pause, she immediately became extremely excited and walked forward quickly holding the kitchen knife she had forgotten to put down.
??????55.??????
"Hey!"
Chu Heng took a step back with an exaggerated expression, pointed at her and shouted: "Well, everyone is crying when they see each other from the same hometown. Why do you still want to chop me? I jumped into the well with your child?"
Only then did Li Jiangqi react. He quickly put the kitchen knife back in his hand, and then came forward with a smile as bright as a flower: "I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now. Come in and sit down."
She happily took Chu Heng's arm and invited him and Cen Hao into the house.
The smile on her face has never been as bright as it is now since she left the mainland.
soon.
The Chu Heng brothers sat down in front of the old but comfortable sofa in the living room.
"I don't have any tea here, so just drink some water and order it." Li Jiangqi poured two glasses of water diligently, then turned and walked to the refrigerator: "Brother, you chat with Chu Heng and the others for a while, and I'll go get it for you.
Wash some fruit."
"Smoking, Master Chu, Brother Hao." Li Yiqiang took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to the two of them. He said with some embarrassment: "I usually smoke this. I don't have any good cigarettes at home. Don't dislike it."
.”
"Hey, there's nothing objectionable about this. When you, Mr. Chu, and I were soldiers, we didn't smoke on the battlefield, and we could take a few puffs on the leaves of the trees. How can you be so bad?" Chu Heng casually took the cigarette and lit it.
, clicked lightly, looked at the warm furnishings in the house, and said with a smile: "It looks pretty good inside the house."
"It's too shabby for both of us to rent. No matter how much money we save, we can't live in a dilapidated house." Li Yiqiang said with a smile.
"This house doesn't have heating, right? Do you light the fireplace in winter? Isn't it cold?"
"We haven't been through winter yet, and we don't know if it's cold or not. I heard from people that the temperature here is not bad in winter, and a fireplace is enough."
"That's fine."
…
After chatting for a while, Li Jiangqi came over with a fruit plate.
"Here, eat some fruit."
Putting the fruit plate in front of Chu Heng and the others, Li Jiangqi sat down on the sofa opposite and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you here? On business?"
"It's not business." Chu Heng thought that the siblings were no longer insiders, so he didn't hide it from them: "I used the time I had over the years to do some small business, and I came here to invest."
"Business by yourself?" Li Jiangqi was stunned and immediately thought of Chu Heng's spendthrift behavior when he went to Hong Kong Island with him.
Now she understood everything, and she dared to secretly become a capitalist herself!
She couldn't help but be stunned for a while, marveling at his boldness, but she felt that it was very reasonable. This grandson could indeed do such a thing, and then she quickly and kindly advised: "Then you'd better be careful. If you let others do this,
I know, but there is no good fruit to eat."
"It's not a big problem. In this situation, who has time to take care of what's going on outside?" Chu Heng curled his lips.
"That's right." Li Jiangqi smiled bitterly, remembering what happened to his family, but he quickly collected his emotions and asked how he met Li Yiqiang. When he learned what happened, he couldn't help but sigh at what a coincidence.
Then they chatted about their current situation and the situation of other people in the Li family. They chatted until it was dark, and then Li Yiqiang quickly reminded his elder sister: "Stop talking now, sister, hurry up and get something to eat."
Yeah."
"Hey, you guys can chat, I'll cook right now." Li Jiangqi, who was a little selfless in chatting, stood up in a hurry.
"Don't make too much. We came here after we finished eating. Just make a couple of dishes to go with the wine. If you make too much, you won't be able to eat it." Chu Heng was not polite to her either.
"Okay, let's just eat something simple today, and I'll treat you to a restaurant tomorrow." Li Jiangqi nodded, walked quickly to the refrigerator, took out sausages, bacon and other ingredients, and placed them in front of the stove like a butterfly.
