Chapter 518 No Invitation
A hostess came out and looked at Lin Xia with a hint of scrutiny when she saw her for the first time: "Who are you?"
Lin Xia introduced herself with a smile, "I'm sorry, I wasn't home before because of work. I just moved in next door. I made some red date cakes and I'll give some to you to try."
When the woman heard it was a neighbor, she thought of something and asked, "Are you Mr. Lu's lover?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod, the woman thought that she was not someone she could easily offend, so she introduced herself: "My last name is Wu, you can just call me Sijie. I heard my husband talk about your guy, and it just so happens that I didn't have the chance to meet you before, so come in and sit down."
"Would you like tea or coffee?" Wu Sijie asked.
Seeing her hand about to open the tea can, Lin Xia said, "I can do anything."
Wu Sijie was stunned for a moment, and her hand turned imperceptibly to get the coffee.
Lin Xia raised her eyebrows when she saw it, then looked away and pretended not to see it.
When she smelled the aroma of coffee, Lin Xia felt a surge of nostalgia in her heart. In her previous life, she relied on coffee to survive overtime. In this life, she had a regular life and no pressure to survive. She usually drank scented tea and fruit tea.
Now I suddenly smell the aroma of coffee and I feel surprised.
When Wu Sijie saw Lin Xia sniffing the coffee with such enjoyment on her face, she knew that she was not someone who didn't know the value of the coffee, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that she changed it.
"Oh, by the way, there are also milk and sugar cubes." Wu Sijie seemed to suddenly remember and got up to get the sugar cubes from the cupboard.
Lin Xia was secretly shocked. It seemed that she still had to keep her distance. She didn't want to spend her time dealing with these ladies.
The two of them sat together and drank coffee. Lin Xia watched as she didn't touch the red date cake, so she stood up and said goodbye without taking it too seriously.
After all, we are neighbors, so just say hello when we meet.
When Wu Sijie saw Lin Xiaren walk out of the yard gate, she turned around, glanced at the brown red date cake on the table with disdain, and turned back to get busy.
It was not until noon that there was some movement from the family on the right. Lin Xia politely offered the red date cake, and the other party enthusiastically gave some fruit in return. The two chatted for a few words before going home.
Lin Xia sighed in her heart, fortunately not all people are weird, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to live here in the future.
Wait until noon, Wu Sijie's house.
"Mom, this snack is good, buy some more!"
As soon as Wu Sijie came downstairs, she saw her daughter, who was tired from playing, eating something. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was the red date cake that had been delivered from next door in the morning.
"What is it? Let me try it." After hearing his daughter's words, Chief of Staff Hu curiously stepped forward and picked up a piece, nodding: "It's good, where did you buy it?"
When Wu Sijie heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Is the cake I bought not delicious?"
"Mom, the cake is too sweet and my teeth hurt." Hu Yuhua shook her head. She was a little girl who loved sweets the most, but her teeth were not in good condition.
But today she discovered that the sweetness of this red date cake comes from the red dates. It is sweet but not greasy, and she wants to eat it again.
This was made by Lin Xia. How could Wu Sijie buy some more for the father and daughter?
“Nothing to buy!”
Hu Yuhua was puzzled: "Why?" Chief of Staff Hu was also puzzled.
After Wu Sijie finished explaining the origin of the red date cake, Hu Yuhua said, "Then you can make it too, mom."
Wu Sijie was so angry that she almost died. She had to come to someone else's house to learn how to make such a simple red date cake.
But since her husband and daughter strongly urged her, Wu Sijie had no choice but to agree to give it a try.
Lin Xia Ke didn't know that someone had asked her to do this. She was preparing delicious food at home, trying to fatten up An An before she returned to school.
So the family went back to stewing meat or roasting fish every day. The advantage of living in a detached house is that the fragrance is all at home and can only be vaguely smelled outside.
While Yang Hongmei was free to go home, Lin Xia thought about the last time Song Yu called for dinner, so she asked Lu Yuxiu to bring everyone along.
It can be considered a belated warming of the house.
Yang Hongmei brought her children here early when she had time. The children gathered together after a long time. Yang Hongmei and Lin Xia chatted while picking vegetables.
They talked about their children going to school, about family matters, and about their neighbors next door.
"Is he really that kind of person?" Yang Hongmei was surprised. Lin Xia said that there was a sophisticated person living next door. She was very curious because in her opinion, Lin Xia's family was quite sophisticated.
In the past, even such a small home was decorated warmly and lovingly. Now that the house is bigger, the decoration is even more exquisite.
Not to mention anything else, the entire wall of photos on the stairs is quite exquisite, with highs and lows arranged in an orderly manner.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" An An saw a lady standing at the door when he passed by.
Wu Sijie heard the noisy sounds inside and wanted to come back another day, but she didn't expect to be seen. She could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm looking for Comrade Lin Xia."
When An An heard that the person was looking for her mother, she understood and said, "Then Auntie, come in with me."
Because there is a yard, Lin Xia is used to leaving the door open when someone is at home, so there is no possibility of any villains in this place.
Lin Xia was making dumplings with Yang Hongmei. There were so many people that rice was not enough, so they decided to make some dumplings as a staple food.
"Mom, this auntie is looking for you." An An brought people over. Lin Xia looked up and saw Wu Sijie. She was a little confused as to why she was looking for her.
"I didn't disturb you, did I?" Wu Sijie regretted her arrival, but was discovered before she could leave.
Lin Xia shook her head: "Nothing, what can I do for you?"
Seeing that there were outsiders present, Wu Sijie knew that today was definitely not a good day, so she pointed to the cake in her hand and said, "You gave me the red date cake, and I will give you some snacks to try."
Lin Xia turned around to wash her hands, took it and thanked him: "You are so polite, thank you."
Seeing that there were people around today, Wu Sijie estimated that Lin Xia didn't have time to teach her, so she said, "It's okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll treat you to coffee next time when I'm free."
As soon as Lin Xia heard it, she knew she had something to do, so she said, "Okay."
Turning around and sending her to the door, Wu Sijie thought about the father and daughter who had been talking about it for a long time at home, and couldn't help but say, "I ate your red date cake last time, it tasted really good, did you make it yourself?"
Unexpectedly, she suddenly asked this. Lin Xia was stunned for a moment before saying, "I made it myself. It has a short shelf life. Remember to eat it up early."
Wu Sijie looked uncomfortable for a second, and seeing that she didn't understand, she said, "My daughter loves to eat that, I just want to ask if you have any more at home?"
Lin Xia smiled and said, "My three children eat a lot. They finished it yesterday."
How could three young people plus Lu Yuxiu's appetite have stayed until now?
Wu Sijie returned disappointed. As soon as Lin Xia returned to the house, Yang Hongmei couldn't help asking, "Is she your neighbor?"
Lin Xia nodded and talked about what had just happened.
Yang Hongmei curled her lips and said, "From what I saw just now, she didn't look like she was here to exchange things."
He took it for granted and thought he was here to buy something.
Lin Xia felt the same way, but she just smiled and said nothing.
Yang Hongmei shook her head: "You have to receive the gifts in person, tsk tsk..."
There was a sound of talking at the door, and it was obviously Song Yu's voice, and the two immediately changed the subject.
