On the afternoon of August 16, at a bus stop near the electric power community in the east of P County, C City, Yuan Shui, dressed in a white dress, was as clear as a graceful hibiscus emerging from the water, or an orchid swaying in the wind in a deep valley.
There was a suitcase at her feet, and a black backpack on the suitcase. Under the scorching sun, she stood in the shadow of the platform, frowning slightly, glancing at the road to the east from time to time. The heat in August made her
There were beads of sweat on her forehead. She was looking at the cars on the road, but the other passengers on the platform were looking at her quietly.
Girls who are so tall are really rare, and girls who are so tall and so beautiful are even rarer. Many people estimate that they have never seen such a tall and beautiful girl in their lives.
At this time, there were five or six men on the platform, of different ages, but these men subconsciously stood far away from her, because none of these men was as tall as Yuan Shuiqing.
Not only the men, but also the women waiting on the platform, especially the young women, subconsciously stayed away from Yuan Shuiqing. As women, the pressure on them to stand next to Yuan Shuiqing was too great. No matter how they looked at themselves, they were foiling this girl.
Sun Quan saw Yuan Shuiqing standing out from a distance.
When he saw her again after an absence of more than a month, he was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face.
The silver-gray Jetta stopped not far from the platform. Sun Quan quickly got off the car and ran over to help her get her suitcase and backpack, but Yuan Shuiqing took the backpack first.
"I can take this myself!" she said softly.
"Okay! Then get in the car quickly. Turn on the air conditioner in the car. It's too hot outside!"
Sun Quan didn't argue with her, just said something, dragged his suitcase and left.
Yuan Shuiqing smiled and followed with her long legs.
After attending the graduation ceremony and staying home for nearly a month, she finally called Sun Quan to pick her up. Sun Quan was very happy about this, and he was finally getting rid of the miserable life of an empty-nest youth.
The Shenxing Computer Training School where she worked would not open until the beginning of September, but she went to City M half a month in advance. Sun Quan naturally understood what she meant, and she was here to accompany him.
In the car.
With the cold air from the air conditioner blowing, Yuan Shuiqing felt much more relaxed, with a pleasant smile on his face. Sun Quan, who was driving, had a similar expression. The two looked at each other from time to time, and each time they looked at each other, they smiled knowingly.
The two of them held one hand together, and the price Sun Quan paid for this was - he drove forward slowly in 2nd gear, and he kept picking up and changing gears without using the third hand.
Fortunately, urban areas have a lot of vehicles and pedestrians, so they are not suitable for fast driving.
"Have you had enough time at home this time?"
he asked with a smile.
Yuan Shuiqing hummed and then asked him, "Did your journey back go smoothly?"
Sun Quan: "Well, today is not a holiday, nor is it a weekend. There are not many cars along the way, so it goes smoothly."
After a pause, he suddenly glanced at her and asked softly: "Do you miss me?"
Yuan Shuiqing smiled slightly and hummed softly.
The corner of Sun Quan's mouth curled up slightly, but he said: "I didn't hear it. Have you thought about it?"
Yuan Shui gave him a blank look, suppressed a smile and returned to his normal voice, "No!"
"Heartless!"
Sun Quan squeezed her palm, but the smile on his face became even stronger.
"Are your grandparents reluctant to leave today?"
He asked and glanced at her expression again. Yuan Shuiqing's expression was normal. She nodded slightly, "Well, every time I leave home, they are reluctant to leave."
Sun Quan hummed and asked again: "Then you went to City M half a month early this time. Did they suspect anything? How did you explain it to them?"
Yuan Shuiqing withdrew the hand held by him and said, "Drive well! Don't be distracted!"
After a pause, she answered the question he just asked, "I told them that a teacher in our school's summer training class was sick, and the principal notified me to help cover the class for half a month. My grandparents didn't know my school, so I
If you say that, they will naturally believe it.”
After saying that, she pursed her lips and laughed at herself, turned to look at Sun Quan and sighed, "I never thought that one day I would lie to my grandparents, but in the past year, I have lied to them more and more often."
Sun Quan exhaled and comforted: "When people grow up, they will all lie. Get used to it slowly! If we tell the truth in life, many things will become very troublesome. Lies are needed in life!"
"Yeah?"
Yuan Shuiqing looked far away in front of the car with a bit of emotion in his expression.
In the evening, when the car drove to City M, neither of them mentioned where they were sending her. Yuan Shuiqing leaned on the passenger seat, squinting her eyes and dozing off slightly. The music in the car made her feel drowsy even more.
Sun Quan drove the car directly to the entrance of the old 99 Braised Chicken shop and stopped, and when he called her to get out of the car, Yuan Shuiqing opened her eyes and saw the sign on the roadside. When she saw that she had come to his old shop, she had no objection and hummed.
, took off the seat belt, sat up straight, arranged his hair and clothes slightly, opened the door and got out of the car.
It was as natural as returning home, and she didn't ask him why he didn't send her to Shenxing Computer Training School.
There are some things that they understand tacitly.
The chef in the store has prepared dinner for them in advance, including a braised chicken, a braised hairtail, a steamed hairy crab, a pearl dumpling, and a lotus root and pork ribs soup.
This is the first time that Xiao Zheng, the new chef in the store, cooks for the proprietress, so he is extra attentive today. He is a commoner...well, he is a chef who prepares dishes for people, and he comes here to be a chef. The most important thing is
Because the dishes here are simple, the things he needs to do every day are not very technical.
But today he has to cook for the legendary landlady, which is really hard for him. Fortunately, although he has no cooking experience before, he is a serious chef after all, and he can still cook a few dishes. For today's meal, he
The dishes he chose were all his specialties. Well, he stole them from others in the past.
The moment he saw Yuan Shuiqing, he was stunned.
Although Zhang Juanjuan and Qu Li in the store today have told him more than once that the proprietress is very beautiful, he never expected that the proprietress of this small shop can be so beautiful. She is at least half a head taller than him, and her face...
A bit like Li Jiaxin, with such a good figure and fair skin...
Xiao Zheng took one look and subconsciously lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Yuan Shuiqing's eyes. It was a feeling of shame.
Even Sun Quan, who was usually slovenly, suddenly had a taller image in his mind. How did he get such a beautiful girlfriend?
While Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing were preparing the meal, Xiao Zheng, who had returned to the kitchen, stretched his head and looked outside from time to time, feeling very nervous.
Although he had heard from Zhang Juanjuan and Qu Li that the landlady had a good temper, he was still nervous. What if the food I cooked was not to her liking and made her angry? Everyone has a temper, right?
This honest kid had quite a lot of inner drama and was walking around nervously alone in the kitchen.
Qu Li, who came to the kitchen to get boiling water, glanced at the expression on his face, was startled, and then smiled. When passing by him, she winked at him with her left eye and joked in a low voice: "Little Master Zheng, you seem to be very...
Are you nervous? Is the boss lady scary?"
Xiao Zheng's face turned slightly red, but he quickly asked her, "Sister Qu, Sister Qu! The boss lady has a really good temper? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Qu Li laughed, glanced at him with a smile, and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry! I've been working here for so long, and I've never seen this boss lady lose her temper once. You really don't need to be nervous!"
"Really? That's good, that's good!"
Xiao Zheng relaxed a little.
…
lobby.
Sun Quan asked Yuan Shuiqing to eat crab roe and crab meat, while he ate the crab legs leisurely. Eating crab legs is definitely a technical job, and most people really don't know how to eat it. At this time, the professional skills he learned in college came in handy.
He used a thin crab leg. He folded it slightly in front of the joint and pinched the end of the joint with his fingernails. A piece of white crab meat emerged from the shell of the thin crab leg.
Come on, he opened his mouth and sucked, and he ate up the thin pieces of crab meat, and then continued to get a piece of crab leg. The eating method was quite pure.
Yuan Shuiqing, who was sitting opposite him, blinked and was surprised, "Hey, you are so good at eating crabs? Who taught you?"
Sun Quan smiled and said, "The teacher taught me!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "..."
She subconsciously wanted to ask: Why is the teacher so boring to teach this?
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered his major in college and felt relieved.
But Sun Quan suddenly became interested and asked Zhang Juanjuan at the bar for a pair of scissors. He returned to his seat, took another clean disposable chopsticks, raised his head and asked Yuan Shuiqing with a smile, "Believe it or not, this hairy crab is mine."
After eating the meat, can you use its shell to piece together a complete hairy crab?"
When he said this, he immediately aroused the curiosity of Yuan Shuiqing and Zhang Juanjuan, and even several diners who were eating in the store also cast curious eyes.
Yuan Shuiqing: "Then eat it quickly and show it to me! Let me see how you eat it."
"haha okay!"
Sun Quan smiled and picked off a few legs of the hairy crab, then used scissors to cut off the joints of each crab leg. Then, just like an ordinary person eating salted edamame, he picked up a piece of crab leg and gently used disposable chopsticks.
With one poke, all the crab meat inside was taken out, and when it was sucked into the mouth, only the clean shell was left on the small piece of crab leg. After eating one piece, he picked up another piece, and he did the same thing.
I quickly ate up all the crab leg meat, and the shell of each crab leg was intact except for the joints that had been cut off.
Sun Quan continued to eat the crab part with a smile, and he felt more comfortable eating this part.
When all the crab meat and crab roe were eaten, he said, "The next step is to witness the miracle!"
He began to piece together the shell of the hairy crab with ease. In fact, when he finished eating the hairy crab, Yuan Shuiqing, Zhang Juanjuan, Qu Li, and all the diners in the store believed that he could piece together the complete crab shell.
Because what he ate was so technical, the crab shell was almost completely undamaged.
When he used those shells to piece together a complete hairy crab that seemed to have never been eaten before, a young diner in the store suddenly started applauding and praised: "Awesome!"
Afterwards, everyone in the store applauded, including Yuan Shuiqing.
"Awesome!"
"Amazing!"
“That’s awesome!”
…
Almost everyone praised it, even Yuan Shuiqing said: "It's simply art!"
