Chapter 12 Shy
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and watched a play.
The living room is furnished with a modular fabric sofa with a chaise longue, covered with a sofa blanket with a fresh pattern, and also equipped with a single sofa chair and two sofa stools.
The golden and green landscape painting was framed and hung on the wall behind the sofa.
Liu Wangxue didn’t buy a TV. Instead, he used a projector, which was connected to the wireless network. It was more comfortable to watch than TV and saved space.
"Mom and Dad," Liu Wangxue hugged the pillow and curled up on the sofa, "I want to go back tomorrow. I need to move some things over."
Gu Xuelan ate an orange slice and said, "We have to go back. We can move clothes and small appliances here. We can't buy everything and waste money."
Liu Nanshan said: "Okay, let's go back together tomorrow."
Gu Xuelan said, "You stay here to look after the house. You've been doing so much work lately, aren't you tired?"
Liu Wangxue looked around and smiled secretly.
Liu Nanshan lay back, crossed his legs, and said leisurely: "That's great, I'll just concentrate on eating and drinking here!"
While we were chatting, Xu Qingsong got a message: [Tao Huayu asked me to ask when the rooftop barbecue party will be held. He has prepared all the gifts.]
Liu Wangxue found it funny: [Why doesn’t he ask himself? ]
During this period, Tao Huayu came to visit from time to time, and Liu Wangxue became familiar with them. Tao Huayu also added Liu Wangxue's contact information as he wished.
Xu Qingsong: [He is shy]
Liu Xu: [I suspect you are harming his reputation]
Xu Qingsong: [I am not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense]
Liu Xu: [Not possible these days, I have to go back to my hometown to move]
Xu Qingsong: [Train or plane? I'll take you there]
Liu Wangxue had already bought a sleeper ticket for tomorrow. Thinking that it would be difficult to wait for the minibus in town, she didn't bother to be polite with Xu Qingsong.
The next day, after sending her to the train station, Xu Qingsong gave her a big bag of snacks, which were all Liu Wangxue's favorite foods.
So, Liu Wangxue basically didn't stop eating along the way and ate more than half of it.
Lying on the berth, I sighed, this kind of life is wonderful, I can eat whatever I want and don’t have to do whatever I don’t want.
When the mother and daughter returned home, it was already dark.
Liu Wangxue received a call from her cousin: "Someone wants to see the car you asked your brother-in-law to put out. When will you be back?"
After buying the house, Liu Wangxue sent a message to her cousin, asking her cousin's husband to sell the red Wrangler since it was probably not going to be needed anymore.
Liu Wangxue immediately said, "I'm back now. You can come and see the car tomorrow!"
Her cousin really didn't understand why she was going to Qiu Shui Town to buy a house. When she first found out, she wanted to lend her money to help her buy the house in her hometown.
Now, she was asked again if she needed help and if she was having financial difficulties.
Liu Wangxue repeatedly stated that no, really not.
My cousin hung up the phone doubtfully.
The buyer really liked this car and was straightforward, so the deal was completed on the same day. After completing all the formalities and paying off the remaining loan, Liu Wangxue still had a small amount of money left in her account.
Afterwards, the mother and daughter packed up clothes, books, commonly used kitchen utensils and small appliances, as well as other miscellaneous items.
The second-hand Chery that Liu Nanshan bought is an SUV. It has a large space and is comfortable to drive, but it is an older model, and he only spent more than 20,000 yuan on it.
Gu Xuelan also has a driver's license, so the mother and daughter took turns driving on the road.
Since we were not in a hurry, we set out late, so the journey of more than ten hours was divided into two parts. We rested in the hotel for one night on the way, and arrived at Qiu Shui Town in the afternoon the next day.
Xu Qingsong came back from outside on his electric bike and saw Liu Wangxue and his family of three moving things, so he went over to help.
Liu Nanshan said warmly, "Xiao Xu, I'm going to make grilled fish tonight, remember to come and bring one back."
Xu Qingsong was carrying a heavy box, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you, uncle!"
Liu Wangxue walked behind with the suitcase, leaned closer and asked Gu Xuelan in a low voice: "What's going on? What's the situation?"
Gu Xuelan hugged the box in her hand and said teasingly, "He must have been drinking with your father. Your father is the kind of person who will get close to you as long as you show your temper to him at the table."
Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong's back and said, "This young man is good. He has the ability to control my dad's temper."
During dinner, Xu Qingsong came over and took the grilled fish back. After a while, he came and knocked on the door again.
Liu Wangxue went to open the door and saw him carrying a small basket of cherries.
"It's just ripened in the past two days. It's very sweet. Let you and your uncle and aunt have a taste." He looked at Liu Wangxue with a smile.
Liu Wangxue likes to eat cherries very much. He started to crave them when he first saw the cherry tree in his yard. However, the seasonal ones are not ripe yet, and a salted fish lying flat does not deserve the freedom of cherries. Later, when he got busy, he forgot about it.
She took the basket with surprise and thanked him.
While watching TV series in the evening, the family of three sat together and ate fruit.
Gu Xuelan sighed: "It's better to grow it at home. It's delicious in season."
Liu Nanshan also answered one by one: "Yeah. By the way, I have some time recently, so I should tidy up the vegetable garden."
Gu Xuelan was also thinking about this and said, "I'll go to the morning market to buy some seeds tomorrow. You can pull out the ones that need to be pulled out."
All the farm tools such as hoes and shovels are still kept and there is no need to buy new ones.
Liu Wangxue replied to Xu Qingsong: [Like.jpg My parents both gave a good review]
Then he asked: [Can cherries be propagated by cuttings? Give me one and I want to plant it too.]
After a while, Xu Qingsong replied: [I don't understand either. I'll ask for you some other day. But my tree is so big that I can't eat all the fruits by myself. You can come and pick them anytime you want.]
Willow catkins: [Isn’t your mother at home? ]
Xu Qingsong: [I'm back in Beijing. She just came to see if I'm still alive.]
Willow catkins: [Well, this is motherly love]
Xu Qingsong: [Yes, my father is always the most important]
Catkins: [hahahahaha]
Xu Qingsong sent a screenshot: [Tao Huayu urged me again]
Liu Wangxue fell on the sofa laughing and replied: [I am sorry for him, so let’s do it tomorrow instead of tomorrow.]
Xu Qingsong: [Thank God, he can let me go]
Seeing that she was having a good time chatting, Gu Xuelan asked, "Who are you? Why are you chatting so happily?"
Liu Wangxue's dimples deepened as she said, "Last time when I bought furniture, I said I would invite Tao Huayu to come for a barbecue after the furniture was installed. He asked Xu Qingsong to urge me."
Gu Xuelan then remembered: "Oh, I totally forgot!" Puzzled but amused, she asked: "Why didn't he tell you himself? This kid is really interesting."
Liu Nanshan hit the nail on the head: "Although he seems to be very slick in business, he is also a pure and innocent person in life."
Liu Wangxue laughed again: "Yes, Xu Qingsong said he was embarrassed, and I thought he wanted to harm his reputation hahahahaha"
When I got up in the morning, Liu Nanshan was already making breakfast and Gu Xuelan was practicing yoga in the living room.
The air is so fresh! It's slightly cool and refreshing. As soon as I got to the yard, I felt as if my lungs were cleansed inside and out, and my brain became clear as well.
Liu Wangxue held a toothbrush in his mouth and walked around while brushing. He even ran to the roof and looked into the distance, letting nature clean his eyes.
When they were going downstairs, they happened to see Xu Qingsong coming out with a small basket, preparing to climb the ladder to pick cherries, so the two of them greeted each other.
