peach beauty

Chapter 44

Zhuxinyuan is a community with a good location. After leaving the gate of the community, turn left and walk for 15 minutes, and you will see a large warehouse supermarket. After Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu moved their luggage to their new home, they walked towards the supermarket.

In order to ensure that nothing was missed, the two of them had already written a very detailed shopping list before going out, and the contents of the list were on Cheng Wanqiu's phone.

It was still in the afternoon on weekdays, and the passenger flow in the supermarket was not large, and it could even be said to be bleak.

Lin Chu has never been to this kind of place before. He prefers to shop in convenience stores. It is simple and convenient. He can take what he needs and pay for it, and then he can leave. There is no need to line up, crowd people, or be in a pile of shelves. , so much time for you to choose among the dazzling products, so this is actually the first time he has entered the supermarket in his life.

He followed Cheng Wanqiu, watched him go in, pulled a shopping cart and pushed it away, then opened the shopping list written in the memo on the phone and began to search for everything. When he found something, he asked his opinion and asked him what he liked more. Which color, which pattern.

They spent the most time in the kitchen utensils area. Lin Chu stood in front of the shelves looking for the kitchen utensils and pastry molds he needed to make pastries, while Cheng Wanqiu was choosing tableware.

They were not too far away from each other, and they could see each other as long as they turned their heads.

After Cheng Wanqiu picked out the plates and bowls and chopsticks, she pushed the shopping cart towards the serious Lin Chu, "Can you find them all?"

"Some are not here."

"If there's no one here, we'll go back and buy it online."

Lin Chu hummed, and put all the selected items into the shopping cart, and soon the shopping cart was half full.

The whole shopping process took an hour and a half. While waiting in line at the cashier area to check out, Cheng Wanqiu glanced at the adult product cabinet standing beside him, and picked out a few boxes and two bottles of lubricating oil and put them into the shopping cart as if no one else was there.

Lin Chu glanced at the things he threw in, and the pinnae of his ears were red under his pink hair, but he didn't say anything.

Because there are large household appliances among the things they buy, and supermarkets have home delivery services for electrical appliances or relatively large goods. Cheng Wanqiu just needs to go home and wait after paying the bill and leaving her phone number and address. The stuff they buy before six o'clock at the latest will be delivered to the home by the staff of the supermarket.

In order to go back and clean up, Cheng Wanqiu took mops, towels and other things home first. Lin Chu said that I don't want to clean up, but he didn't really intend to just sit and watch Cheng Wanqiu busy, but beat him. Basin Shui went upstairs with a clean towel, he was responsible for cleaning the bedroom, and the living room, kitchen and bathroom downstairs were handed over to Cheng Wanqiu.

Lin Chu usually looks sloppy, but he doesn't procrastinate when it's time to work. He carefully wipes every seam in the bedroom clean, and changes the water in the basin several times.

When he finished cleaning the bedroom and went downstairs with the basin in hand, he realized that the sun outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was about to set, and there was still half of the sun that was about to leave on the white tiled floor of the living room.

When Lin Chu walked past the half of the sun, he suddenly had a whim, put down the water basin in his hand, took out his mobile phone and found an angle to take a picture of the half of the sun.

That afternoon, everyone who had Lin Chu's WeChat account saw him send a rare Moments, without any accompanying text, only a picture, the picture is half of the sun falling on the snow-white tiles, the light and shadow are perfectly cut.

Liu Erjing lightly liked it and left a message: Brother!You took great pictures!

Lin Chu was in a good mood, and it was rare for him to be willing to reply to a comment. Although it was just a soybean emoji wearing sunglasses, Liu Erjing was so happy that he couldn't find Bei in the comments. He didn't forget to greet Cheng Wanqiu: Hello sister-in-law!

Lin Chu replied: Your sister-in-law is washing the bathtub.

Afterwards, Liu Erjing replied to Lin Chu and didn't read it, because the little red dot in his circle of friends reminded him that he had received almost fifty likes and replies.

He put away the screen of his mobile phone, picked up the basin on the ground and went to the bathroom to find Cheng Wanqiu.

After placing a bathtub in the corner of the not-so-big bathroom, adding the sink and the toilet made it a bit crowded. The bathtub had already been washed when Lin Chu entered. Cheng Wanqiu was cleaning the sink with his back facing him when he heard the sound Looking back at him, "Change the water?"

"No need to change it, the bedroom has already been cleaned."

Lin Chu poured out the dirty water in the basin, squeezed to Cheng Wanqiu's side, and stretched out his hand in front of him.

Cheng Wanqiu gently grabbed his hand and stretched it under the faucet to help him wash it. His fingers were tightly entangled in the trickling water. It was obvious that he was just washing his hands, but it made people feel inexplicably hot.

Lin Chu turned his head and looked at the bathtub, "This bathtub is so small, it seems that it can only soak one person."

"Would you like to try it tonight?"

Lin Chu turned around and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Of course."

Before the sun completely set, the supermarket staff in uniform delivered the goods they purchased, household appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves were delivered to the house, and there was also a white beanbag sofa.

Lin Chu couldn't wait to move the beanbag sofa to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and wrapped himself in the softness, watching the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling windows with a full face.

After the supermarket staff left, Cheng Wanqiu took out a mop and mopped the floor that had been trampled by them again, and asked the person lying still on the lazy sofa, "Taotao, are you hungry?"

"hungry."

"Go out to eat?"

"Order takeaway, of course you have to eat at home on the first day."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Seafood fried rice and grilled wings in honey sauce, I also want to drink Sprite."

Cheng Wanqiu ordered takeaway and walked past him, Lin Chu heard his footsteps going upstairs and looked back at him, "Where are you going?"

"Make the bed."

Lin Chu sat up from the lazy sofa, "I'll help you."

When Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu ran away from home together, they did not forget the four-piece suit they brought back to China. They packed it in the suitcase. The dark blue quilt cover was just right on the big bed in the bedroom. The quilt was also covered with the same color pillowcase and duvet cover.

Standing by the bed, Lin Chu restrained himself from jumping on the bed. He was sweating all over and hadn't taken a shower yet. As a result, he restrained himself from jumping on the bed, but he couldn't restrain himself from jumping on Cheng Wanqiu.

Cheng Wanqiu hugged him, "Don't you think I smell bad now? I'm sweating a lot."

Lin Chu chirped and kissed his lips like a bird drinking water, "Me too."

Cheng Wanqiu also kissed him vigorously, and led him back downstairs, looking at the somewhat empty living room downstairs, "Although all the things we bought have been delivered, it feels like the house is still empty, and we still need to buy more things. Come back and decorate."

Lin Chu: "Spend money wisely!"

"Spending Money Jing just wants to spend money for Tao Zijing."

"Then why don't you just give the money to Tao Zijing!"

Hearing this, Cheng Wanqiu took out a brown wallet from his pocket and handed it to him.

Lin Chu let go of his hand to open the wallet, and was stunned with just one glance.

Cheng Wanqiu's wallet is a nostalgic one. When it is opened, there is a compartment for photos, which is protected by a transparent plastic film. At this moment, there is a photo in the compartment. The person in the photo has pink hair covered by the afterglow of the setting sun. It is dyed a light golden color, and there is also a touch of orange red that is not very clear. The side face, which looks familiar and unfamiliar, feels very loose and careless.

... This is clearly him.

Lin Chu looked at the photo in the wallet with a puzzled expression, "When was this taken? Why didn't I know I still have this kind of photo?"

"When shooting teal ducks, I exchanged them with raw marinade for you."

Lin Chu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but he remembered that Cheng Wanqiu didn't say that at the time, "Didn't you say you would give me one?"

"After washing it, I found that I was not willing to give it to you. Anyway, you didn't think about it, so I kept it and didn't give it to you."

Lin Chu looked at him in shock when he heard this, "Aren't you willing to give me my photo?!"

Cheng Wanqiu nodded.

Lin Chu lowered his head and continued to look at the photos in his wallet, "Have you kept it here since then?"

"Well, my wallet doesn't usually leave my body, so I take it with me wherever I go."

"...I like this photo so much?"

"I like people in pictures."

Lin Chu silently looked at the photos in the wallet for a while, then returned the wallet to Cheng Wanqiu with a grunt, "I like you and give me your wallet?"

"I'm giving you the card and money inside, not the wallet."

"Where's your camera?"

"upstairs."

"On the first day of the new home, take a picture together?"

Cheng Wanqiu's heart skipped a beat, "Actually, you can also use a mobile phone."

"Isn't that camera very precious to you? Taking pictures with a camera feels different from taking pictures with a mobile phone."

Cheng Wanqiu actually felt the same way. His camera had been with him for many years. If he could use this camera to take the first photo of him and Lin Chu, it would have a different meaning.

"I'll go get it."

Lin Chu sat cross-legged in front of the French window, waiting for Cheng Wanqiu to go upstairs to get his camera.

He doesn’t really like taking pictures. He always feels awkward and unnatural when facing the camera. When he was a child, no one in his family thought of taking pictures of him to record his growth. He only has a father who is full of hatred for him. He has exhausted himself just to live No, there is no mood to think about such extravagant things.

The person with the most photos of him in this world is Liu Erjing, and then Shen Dong. These two people were the closest people before he met Cheng Wanqiu, but now these two people have to lean back, because he hopes The person who has the most photos of him in this world is Cheng Wanqiu.

He doesn’t have photos of how old he was, and photos of his teens are in someone else’s place, so at least in the future, photos of him in his 20s, 30s, 40s, or even 50s and 60s, he hopes to be available here in Cheng Wanqiu’s place .

Soon, Cheng Wanqiu, who went to get the camera, came back. He adjusted the camera while going downstairs, stood on the stairs and took a picture of the person sitting cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Stupid people compared to the camera.

Cheng Wanqiu didn't recover from the shooting, "You don't like posing when taking pictures?"

"I don't like it, but I will bear it if you shoot it."

Cheng Wanqiu smiled and walked towards him, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, don't bear it."

Lin Chu looked at him, "You can take pictures if you like, and you can take more pictures and organize them into a photo album, so that we can look at them after many years."

"That sounds kind of sad."

"It seems a bit sad for two old men to flip through their photo albums, but there's no other way. An old man is an old man." Lin Chu stretched his arm around Cheng Wanqiu's neck, and leaned over to kiss his cheek. When I see it in the future, I will definitely laugh at myself 50 years ago."

Cheng Wanqiu couldn't help laughing, and with the crisp shutter sound, this scene was frozen forever.

Lin Chu said that he started to learn how to make pastries after moving, and he really planned to do so, because he got up early the next day after moving to Zhuxinyuan, and it was rare that he didn't sleep in, but sat in the living room Turning on Cheng Wanqiu's tablet computer in front of the coffee table, watching the teaching video of ancient osmanthus cake on the Internet while taking notes in the notebook, and yawning sleepily from time to time.

In fact, the ancient osmanthus cake is not difficult to make, and the method can be regarded as simple, but most people would not choose to make it by themselves if they want to eat it, because it is too troublesome and requires a lot of kitchen utensils that are not used at ordinary times.

When Lin Chu went to the supermarket yesterday, he bought most of the kitchen utensils and ingredients he needed. He bought a big bag of glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, sugar powder, and a can of dried osmanthus.

When Cheng Wanqiu woke up and went downstairs, Lin Chu was already competing with the electronic scale in the kitchen. He was meticulous about the number of grams. The instructional video told him to put 200g of rice noodles, but he would not put 201g.

Cheng Wanqiu stood outside the kitchen door and watched for a while, without disturbing him, but walked in quietly, and found the frying pan that was cleaned yesterday for breakfast.

"How many eggs does Taotao want?"

Lin Chu didn't raise his head, "Two."

"What about lunch meat?"

"Two slices."

The two were busy with their own affairs in the kitchen. After a while, Cheng Wanqiu had fried eggs and luncheon meat, and took out slices of bread to make a simple sandwich.

And Lin Chu's sweet-scented osmanthus cake has also reached the step of mixing the poured powder evenly and starting to add water.

Cheng Wanqiu doesn't know how to make traditional Chinese pastries, but he also knows the general steps from the notes written by Lin Chu. He can tell when he shakes his hands and accidentally pours too much water. It's probably ruined.

He couldn't help smiling, and brought him a glass of milk, "Eat breakfast first, don't worry."

Lin Chu took the milk with a thoughtful expression on his face, "It's not difficult, I'm sure I can do it."

The two of them ate breakfast facing a table of glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour, then Cheng Wanqiu tidied up and went out, leaving the kitchen to the future Chinese pastry chef.

When Lin Chu was busy, he was not idle. Instead, he found a piece of white paper and spread it on the coffee table to write and draw. The tip of the pen fell on the paper and rustled. There is also a Q version of the villain dozing off against the big peach.

When Lin Chu came out of the kitchen, he saw Cheng Wanqiu writing something seriously, and walked over curiously to find out that he was painting.

The painting is still beautiful, not particularly professional, but the style is very cute.

Lin Chu knelt beside him and looked at his shoulder for a while, "Do you want to paint?"

"Yes, I will paint when I buy the watercolor."

Lin Chu looked at the silly and cute Q-version villain next to the peach, "You'd better not say this is me."

"It's you." Cheng Wanqiu kept drawing pictures, "I want to use this pattern to customize a poster stand and some pastry boxes, so that it will be easier to attract customers."

Lin Chu was taken aback when he heard that, "Is it so fast? I haven't even made a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake yet."

"It takes time to make poster frames and boxes. When the ordered items arrive, you must have learned it, and we can set up a stall."

Lin Chu was puzzled, "But why is there such a big peach printed on the box of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"Because the person who made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is a peach."

"Then where are you? My pastry stand is called Late Autumn Pastry, not Peach Pastry."

Cheng Wanqiu thought for a while, and drew a few fallen leaves around Lin Chu in the Q version, "I'm here."
