Chapter 572 So-Called Happiness
After the event, Xu Ye rested in the hotel for a whole day.
The next day, Cai drove to the supermarket twice with Chen Qingqing and bought a lot of bits and pieces. In the afternoon, the two of them started washing and getting ready for tomorrow.
Fruits were piled on the glass tray, and various snacks were placed beside it. Xu Ye was studying how to use the dishwasher in the kitchen, while Chen Qingqing was concentrating on organizing the refrigerator on the other side.
Hearing the dishwasher making noise, Chen Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Is it ready?"
"Yeah, it's done. There are steps in the instructions."
"Bring me the eggs."
"Coming."
Xu Ye found two cartons of eggs from the supermarket shopping bag and handed them to Chen Qingqing. Chen Qingqing quickly put the eggs one by one into the refrigerator. She put them in her mouth and muttered: "I should buy one specifically for eggs." That kind of rack, otherwise the eggs won’t be stable.”
As she spoke, she handed over the job to Xu Ye and ran outside to get her mobile phone to place an order online.
October in Shanghai is still summer.
However, the big trees on the roadside blocked most of the sunlight, and scattered sunlight passed through the gaps in the leaves and reflected on the ground, just like the starry sky at night.
In the small western-style building directly opposite the door, a little girl who looked about six or seven years old ran out of the house wearing a small pink dress and holding an ice cream that she had just stolen from her refrigerator.
She deftly unwrapped the ice cream, stood at the door of her house, and secretly ate it like a thief. After a while, her mouth was covered with traces of chocolate. She even reached out and wiped it twice, but this wipe , she immediately transformed from a fair and clean little girl into a colorful-faced cat.
At this time, she discovered that the door of the neighbor's house across the road finally opened. Out of curiosity, she jumped across the road on a pair of sandals inlaid with crystals, and then walked into the yard. His eyes looked at everything in the yard with curiosity.
"Is there anyone?"
The little girl didn't dare to go directly into the living room, so she shouted loudly outside.
Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing in the room heard the sound, looked at each other, got up at the same time and walked to the door of the living room. When they saw a little cat girl with a colorful face standing in the yard, Xu Ye said with a smile: "Little sister, where did you come from? ?”
The little girl was quite courageous. She pointed outside and said in a sweet voice, "My house is right across the street. Are you new here?"
"yes."
"Your house is so beautiful, a hundred times better than mine." The little girl obviously didn't have a specific concept of multiples, and she spoke with all her teeth and claws.
Both of them were amused. Xu Ye leaned into Chen Qingqing's ear and whispered, "Go get some snacks."
Chen Qingqing nodded, quickly walked to the coffee table, took out a lot of snacks, and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl became polite at this time. She shook her head and said very reasonably: "Mom said, you can't just take things from strangers."
Xu Ye also stepped forward and said, "We will move here tomorrow. From now on, we will be neighbors, not strangers."
"Hmm." The little girl felt that Xu Ye's words made sense, so she said "Okay" in an old-fashioned way, and then she caught all the snacks handed over by Chen Qingqing.
And at this moment.
The hostess of the house across the road also discovered that her daughter was missing. She first called out twice at home, but when she received no response, she immediately ran out. When she saw the courtyard door opposite was wide open, the woman immediately ran out. After running over and finding her daughter in the yard, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huanhuan!"
The little girl was startled when she heard the voice, and her submissive look really made people want to laugh.
Xu Ye took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, we just moved here."
The woman walked up to her daughter, took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped her daughter's mouth, and replied with a smile: "We met at the express station. I didn't expect that we are still neighbors."
"Ah, really?"
Xu Ye had no impression, mainly because he was in a hurry every time he went to pick up the express delivery.
The woman was not that old, she looked to be in her early thirties. The last time she was at the express delivery station, she was wearing a sun hat. It was normal that Xu Ye didn't recognize her.
"Huanhuan, who gave you these snacks?"
"It's this sister."
The woman thought that Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing were already married, so she quickly corrected herself and said, "You have to call me aunt."
Chen Qingqing just wanted to explain, but then she thought that there was nothing wrong with calling her aunt. After all, she was only six years old, so when the little girl said thank you to aunt, she smiled and praised her for being so good.
"Then you are busy, I will take her back first."
"Walk slowly."
The mother and daughter turned around and left. After walking out of the yard, the woman immediately lectured: "Did you sneak some ice cream just now?"
"I don't."
"He said no. Go back and look in the mirror and see what's on your face."
"I don't."
"If you eat two today, you won't be able to eat them tomorrow."
"You bullied me again, I'm going to complain to my father."
"Your father is out of town and he has no time to take care of you."
"..."
yard.
"Everyone is gone, don't look anymore."
"The little girl is so cute."
"Isn't it cute?"
"Um."
"We will also have a baby in the future."
Chen Qingqing turned around and rolled her eyes at Xu Ye, then turned back to the living room.
The two of them had been busy all afternoon, and when everything was ready, they collapsed on the soft big sofa, not wanting to move.
Chen Qingqing lay on the sofa for a while, and found it uncomfortable, so she tilted her head and leaned on Xu Ye's shoulder. Looking at the home she had decorated with her own hands, she felt very satisfied.
"I want to make a video call to my mother."
"Call."
Chen Qingqing took out her mobile phone and looked at the time. She thought her mother should have been off work at this time, and was about to send a video invitation.
Xu Ye added: "Send it in the group, let my mother see it too. When she came last time, many things were not done."
Chen Qingqing did it obediently.
She had just started a video chat in the group, but she didn't expect that the first person to come in was not Lao Zhang or Jiang Meilin, but her old father Chen Hansong.
"Qingqing, have you eaten?"
It seems that when sending a video to family members, the first question the elders ask is always: Have you eaten?
Chen Qingqing said honestly: "Not yet, we were busy all day."
Chen Hansong asked excitedly: "What are you busy with?"
Just as Chen Qingqing was about to tell what she had done today, Jiang Meilin and Lao Zhang appeared on the phone screen. Chen Qingqing paused, continued the previous topic, and then stood up with her phone to show them her results of the day.
Xu Ye closed his eyes and listened to their conversation with a smile.
The so-called happiness,
is probably like this.
