Chapter 551: Going out on a date - The sickly young lady's daily routine of eating melons in the courtyard

"Qingqing, how about we go to the movies tomorrow?" Cen Xi said before going to bed.

When the sleepy Lin Qing heard about watching a movie, he sobered up a bit and asked again and again: "Brother Nan, are you free tomorrow?"

It’s not that Lin Qing didn’t believe it, but Cen Xi was really busy. Sometimes he didn’t even have weekends off, and he would even be late for getting off work on weekdays.

Cen Xi always felt a little guilty towards Lin Qing in this regard. Seeing that she didn't believe him, he didn't say anything, but patiently answered again, "It's true!"

"Oh yeah!" Lin Qing laughed instantly.

Cen Xi also laughed unconsciously, "Okay, okay, go to bed, go to bed early!"

"You will be here when I wake up tomorrow morning, right?" Lin Qing asked, grabbing Cen Xi's hand.

"Yes, I will." Cen Xi nodded heavily.

Only then did Lin Qing feel at ease and threw herself into his arms, finding a comfortable position and preparing to fall asleep.

Cen Xi hugged her tightly, feeling like he was hugging the whole world. This was their habitual sleeping position. To be honest, if they had to sleep alone one day, they would definitely not be used to it, just like when Lin Qing went to study some time ago.

The next morning, Cen Xi did not get up early, which was a rare occurrence for him. Instead, he stayed in bed until Lin Qing woke up.

Lin Qing called out in a daze: "Brother Nan..."

"I'm here!" Cen Xi kissed her forehead affectionately.

Lin Qing took a long time to react before looking up at Cen Xi, "Brother Nan, you are really here!"

"I promised you last night." How could he go back on his word?

"Hehe..." Lin Qing was really happy and rubbed his neck happily.

Cen Xi's eyes darkened a little, "Qingqing, let's get up!"

"good!"

The young couple got up and dressed. Cen Xishen got dressed first and got up to go out first.

As he walked out, he said, "Qingqing, take your time. I'll get you some water!"

"Okay!" Lin Qing moved really slowly. She was always drowsy and slow in the morning.

Cen Xi opened the door and the discussions outside stopped instantly.

It was already past nine in the morning, and every housewife had already gotten up, prepared breakfast, cleaned the house, and went out to do the laundry.

These young wives in the yard always like to sit together to wash clothes, chat and gossip.

They noticed early in the morning that the door of the Cen family's room had not been opened since morning, and they felt both envious and jealous.

Lin Qing's life was so happy. As long as the man was at home, she didn't need to wash dishes or clothes. She even only had to cook occasionally. Her parents and her husband would help with the rest.

No one in their hospital has an easier life than Lin Qing, even when compared with several other women who have the same job.

So seeing this situation, they couldn't help but say a few sour words, but when Cen Xi opened the door, they were already talking about other things. However, they still felt inexplicably guilty, so they stopped talking.

They watched Cen Xi fetching water skillfully as he walked past them as if no one was around, and their eyes followed him secretly.

Sour, really sour!

When have their men ever served them like this?

To be honest, at the beginning, when they saw Cen Xi doing this and that to serve Lin Qing, they were extremely jealous. But when they got home and saw the eldest master in the family, they were not very happy anymore, and the brave ones started to make a few remarks.

Unexpectedly, their men were so angry that they said, "Why did I marry you? I have to do all these things, so why did I marry you?"

"...Won't Engineer Cen also help with the housework?"

"That Mr. Cen is Mr. Cen, and I am not him. If you have the guts, marry him!"

"..." Isn't this nonsense? If she really had a choice, she would not marry him!

Anyway, similar topics always end up in vain, and men don't make any changes.

Cen Xi had never had much contact with the female comrades in the courtyard, and basically had no communication with them.

Just like now, they didn't speak, and Cen Xi himself wouldn't speak on his own initiative. He just fetched water and left.

When Lin Qing came out, she had already put on her clothes. Cen Xi handed her the wash cup and toothbrush, and I took the thermos and poured some water into the basin to neutralize it so that the water would not be too cold.

After doing this, he also went out to wash up.

The young couple squatted together on the stone steps at the door, brushing their teeth. Unbeknownst to them, they had become a part of the scenery in the courtyard.

Lin's father and mother went out early. After they washed up, Cen Xi went to the kitchen to bring out breakfast.

Their breakfast was simple, consisting of pickled vegetables and steamed buns, which were kept warm in the pot, and all Cen Xi had to do was serve them.

Oh! I forgot, there is also Lin Qing's medicine. Lin's mother had already prepared it and kept it warm in the pot.

Lin Qing ate one and a half steamed buns and let Cen Xi take care of the rest.

Not long after finishing breakfast, she took the warm bowl and drank all the medicine in it in one gulp.

"Open your mouth."

"ah!"

Cen Xi stuffed a White Rabbit milk candy into Lin Qing's mouth, which effectively neutralized the bitterness in her mouth.

"It's so bitter!" No matter how many times she drank the medicine, she always felt it was too bitter.

"Almost there, almost there!" After taking it for another half a month, the medicine was finished.

Lin Qing suddenly felt relieved. She felt that she had finally reached the end. This was really a happy thing.

"Are we leaving soon?"

"Um."

"Don't you need to tell our parents?" What if they still cook for us at noon?

Cen Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry! I already told my parents yesterday. Didn't you see they were not here this morning?"

"Well, where did they go?"

"Let's go out on a date, and I'll let them go out and play by themselves." Cen Xi felt that his mother-in-law could always find all kinds of work to do at home, and she was busy all the time, so it was okay to let her go out and play and relax.

"Brother Nan, you are so nice!"

"Okay, let's pack up and go!"

The two locked the door of their house and pushed their bicycles out of the yard.

After they left, the yard became lively again.

"Where are they going?" Wang Damei asked curiously.

"Maybe the couple is out on a date, and the weekend is the only day they are free." Mrs. Jiang guessed.

"Hey, why doesn't my guy take me out on a date?" Wang Damei had never gone out to play since she came to the city from the countryside, and she was very jealous.

After hearing what she said, Jiang Dasao said bluntly, "You have to spend money when you go out on a date! Are you willing to spend money?"

Anyway, she herself couldn't bear to do it. There were so many children to raise at home, and the salary left in her hands every month from Jiang Hai was not much. If she went out for a date, she might have to eat out, and those few dollars would be gone. She couldn't bear to do it.

When Wang Damei heard this, she immediately shut up. She couldn't bear to do that because she still had to save money to have a baby!
