"Since we're not going back today, how about the four of us play some mahjong?"
"You have these kinds of activities at home?"
"Occasionally, but usually we can't get enough people together."
After dinner, the four of them went to the mahjong room. The mahjong table was powered on, the dice were rolled, and seats were chosen. Qi Jingchen sat opposite Qin Zifu.
Soon after, the maid brought over fruit and the milk tea that Qin Zifu had ordered.
"I can tell from Fufu's hand placement whether she's ready to win or not."
Yan Li watched as Qin Zifu pondered over the cards in her hand, the way the cards were arranged made it seem like she had revealed her hand.
"Why?"
"You put these cards together to form a deck, separating them from the others. Three cards together make a deck, two cards together on the far left make a pair, and the two cards that don't make a deck are on the right. If they're left alone, they're not a deck."
"Mom, you know better than to say it. I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't do it this way."
Qin Zifu pondered for a long time, then played a five of bamboo, took a sip of milk tea, and thought, "This is too difficult."
Qi Jingchen's lips curled up slightly. He had won several rounds already, but at a time like this, he was still playing cards that were easy to give away points.
When it was Qi Jingchen's turn to draw a tile, he drew a two of bamboo and pushed the tile away.
"Self-touch"
Qin Zifu glanced at the table and saw that she had played both the two and five of the bamboo suits before, and had played the two of the bamboo suit twice. Qi Jingchen, on the other hand, wanted the two and five of the bamboo suits.
"Then why didn't you push the tile when I played the five of bamboo?"
"If you want to win by drawing the winning tile yourself, you'll win more."
That's ridiculous. If he's going to keep playing cards with her, how can they possibly have a good time? He'd better rely on himself.
That night, Qi Jingchen didn't want any cards except for self-draws. Qi Zheng did the same. Qi Zheng was more like a mahjong partner. Not only did he not win, but he also had to calculate which cards would give them a winning hand.
I'm so tired.
The four of them didn't leave until after 11 p.m.
"Fufu, is it fun?"
"That was fun! I'll play again next time. It's not that hard!"
At first I didn't quite understand, but later I seemed to get it right and it became easy to use. Now I'm even a little addicted to it.
Qi Zheng and Qi Jingchen didn't want to play anymore. Sitting for hours on end was mentally exhausting.
"Okay, we'll play again next time you come back. Go and rest."
"Okay"
They've been married for so long, and she's never stayed here at night. Of course, Qi Jingchen hasn't stayed here for the past few months either.
Qin Zifu only took a nap in Qi Jingchen's room the first time she came.
"What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't been here before."
"Let me take another look. I've never stayed here before, so I'm a little curious."
"You can come back often if you like."
I like it.
Qi Jingchen took a nightgown and underwear from the wardrobe for Qin Zifu.
"I took a shower."
After taking a shower, she lay on Qi Jingchen's gray-black bed, which made her skin look cold and pale. She hadn't slept on sheets of this color in a long time.
Because Qi Jingchen's four-piece suit had already been changed to her favorite color.
The overall style of Qi Jingchen's home has gradually become more fuzzy.
"Baby, three times a week is within the recommended limit."
"This won't work."
Why not?
Qi Jingchen placed his hands on either side of her body, looking up at her.
"No, I'm not used to it."
"You'll get used to it sooner or later, good Fufu."
"..."
…………………
He gradually eased her anxiety, and her tension slowly dissipated.
"Sweetie, relax."
"Hmm..."
"It's okay to speak a little louder."
"No... Ugh, you're so annoying!"
"I can't hear them, they're upstairs, the soundproofing is very good."
Of course they couldn't hear them, because Qi Zheng and Yan Li were too busy to care what they were doing.
The elderly couple were much more relaxed.
Qin Zifu was still a little reserved in the unfamiliar environment.
Qi Jingchen is very good at developing things; he can do anything and still thrive.
Early the next morning
When Qi Jingchen got up, Qin Zifu also woke up. She hadn't been sleeping soundly and felt that he was about to leave.
"Why did you wake up today?"
"Yeah, just wake up for a moment."
"Go back to sleep"
Qi Jingchen lay back on the bed and pulled the person into his arms.
Are you going to the company?
"Go to sleep later, don't worry about going downstairs for breakfast."
"oh"
Qin Zifu only spoke a few words to him in her mind. She didn't even remember talking to him in the morning after she woke up, and thought she had never woken up.
He turned over and fell asleep. Qi Jingchen got up, went downstairs to eat, and then went to the company.
He has made it a habit that he always gets up at this time, no matter how late he goes to bed.
Qin Zifu woke up more than two hours later.
When they went downstairs, neither Qi Zheng nor Yan Li were there.
"Is Zifu looking for Madam?"
"Hmm, where did they go?"
"The lady is with the gentleman feeding the birds in the yard."
"Feeding birds? Wild birds?"
Qin Zifu glanced outside and saw the two of them standing around a birdcage.
"No, it was sent by your friend. They said it will be able to talk in the future."
"..."
It's not that raising crickets is raising birds.
While she was waiting, the aunt took out the bird's nest that had been kept warm in a water bath.
"Have some bird's nest soup."
"Thanks"
"Don't be so polite with me, I feel bad. Breakfast is still warm, or I'll make you something to eat."
This is an aunt who has worked for the Qi family for decades. The master of the house never treats a servant like her so politely.
"I'll just wait for lunch."
"Shall I go get some snacks?"
"OK"
Qin Zifu usually eats bird's nest on an empty stomach. At this time, it won't be long before she has to eat lunch, so she skips breakfast.
After she finished drinking the bird's nest soup, she went to the courtyard.
"Mom and Dad"
"Fufu's awake! Have you had breakfast?"
"I'm not eating anymore, I'll have lunch later. What kind of bird is this?"
"Two grey parrots are teaching it to talk."
"Have you learned it?"
"No"
"Then what should we teach it?"
"Teach it to swear, haha."
"That's not a good idea..."
"Are you kidding? I don't know how to teach it, let alone teach it to say auspicious words."
"oh oh"
She was surprised by Qi Zheng's humor; she almost didn't realize it was a joke and thought he was really going to teach her to swear.
"I'll be able to chat with you in the future."
"..."
That's not necessary.
Qin Zifu stroked the parrot's feathers through the cage, played with it for a while, and then sent a photo to Qi Jingchen.
"From home?"
"Yes, Dad said it was a gift from a friend. He's still young, so we need to teach him to speak every day."
"Take it if you want it."
"No need to take care of them, just stay here."
Qin Zifu didn't have the energy to take care of them, but if she put them in the rooftop garden, she wouldn't have to keep them in cages anymore, and they would have some freedom.
"Then we'll take them away when they can talk."
"It would look great if it dyed its hair; it's all grayish now, let's see."
It's all gray and a bit dull.
"Dye this thing green?"
"Pfft... If they could talk, they'd definitely curse you."
Qin Zifu played for a while longer and was still quite cute.
"Fufu, time to eat. Don't you have to go to work at the hospital later?"
"That's right."
I got up, washed my hands, and went inside to eat.
"Fufu, will you have the driver take you there?"
"Okay, then I don't need to take a taxi there."
