Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 46 Boy
After leaving the dessert shop, they first went to the bookstore to put their things down, and then took a taxi to IKEA. Because it was Sunday, there were many people in IKEA, and Jiang You and Chen Nan were not in a hurry. They slowly looked at the model rooms one by one. When they saw something they liked, Jiang You took a photo and numbered it, and sat on the sofa and lay on the bed from time to time.
"Are you planning to stay in the hotel forever?" Chen Nan asked.
"It's convenient. What do you think of me making the second bedroom like this?" Jiang You pointed to a dark-toned model room. "13 square meters, about the same size. Put the bed by the window, like this room, and make a corner cabinet, a small table next to the bed, a large-screen TV on the wall in front, and a lazy sofa. It's comfortable for playing games and watching movies."
Chen Nan looked at the dark model room and asked, "Second bedroom?"
"right."
"It's quite comfortable."
"I think so too." Jiang You took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the furniture and numbers he wanted.
"Are there any friends coming to stay for a long time?"
"No, I thought, if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it all at once. I also happened to be going to Suning to look at electrical appliances, so I might as well get them all."
"What about the master bedroom?"
"The master bedroom is a little bigger, so I'm considering putting cabinets on one wall, putting two small sofas by , buying a small table and floor lamp, and then turning the living room into a studio with bookcases and a computer."
"This is really going to be a big deal. We also need to buy a car. Do we have enough money?"
"About that. When the cruise ship was on the high seas, I made a little money in the casino, about fifty or sixty thousand."
“So powerful?”
"The first time I went to the gambling table, I had good luck. Isn't it said that money won from lottery or gambling should be spent as soon as possible?"
"That's what they say. No wonder you're so diligent all of a sudden. Otherwise, with your personality, you should rest for half a month after you come back."
"It's OK. It's OK."
As they were talking, they walked to the exit.
The IKEA restaurant is right next door and the line is already forming.
"Let's eat something here," Chen Nan looked at the pictures of the dishes on the billboard, "I haven't eaten their meatballs for a long time, I'm craving for them."
"Okay, the queue will be quick anyway."
I followed the line forward to the food selection area and got meatballs and mashed potatoes, braised pork with rice, grilled chicken wings, shrimp fillets and two glasses of juice.
Find an empty table and put down your tray.
"I'm going to the bathroom. You eat first." Jiang You pointed to the bathroom sign.
"Go ahead."
Chen Nan sat down. She picked up the fork and picked up a piece of meatball. Just as she was about to take a bite, a man with a yellow shopping bag came over and asked, "Why are you here?"
This is her ex-husband Sun Rui.
She put her fork down, her eyebrow raised, "Why can't I be here?"
"Where's Yunyun?"
“I went to summer camp in Europe.”
Sun Rui sat down in front of her. As soon as his butt touched the stool, he heard Chen Nan say, "Someone is sitting here."
Sun Rui stood up again, embarrassed. "Xiao Nan, what do you think about what I said last time?"
"What's up?"
"Remarry, and you raise the child alone..."
"Speaking of which, you haven't paid child support this year yet. Do you have to pay half of the money for this European summer camp?"
"I have already made an agreement with Mom. We will live a good life from now on..."
"Tell it to your new wife."
"Why are you acting so angry? I heard you were dating a pretty boy recently..."
Jiang You happened to hear this when he came back from the bathroom. He touched his face. After the summer, he had been working in the yard and sunbathing on the cruise ship. His face was so tan that it was almost shiny.
Chen Nan also saw him and she burst out laughing.
Jiang You sat down directly in his seat without even looking at Sun Rui.
"Anything else? No, I need to eat dinner. Remember to transfer Yunyun's child support and tuition to me. I see you can't afford the money for summer camp, so forget it."
After saying that, Chen Nan didn't even look at Sun Rui, picked up the fork and started biting the meatballs.
Sun Rui looked at Chen Nan, then at Jiang You, then at the people around him, stomped his feet and left.
"Very spicy." Jiang You also picked up a meatball.
"Girlface?"
"I used to be quite fair and handsome."
"Narcissistic." Chen Nan glanced at him.
"Really? When I was in college, the most beautiful girl in class was chasing me." After eating a meatball and taking a sip of drink, "He still hasn't given up?"
"He's not a bad person, just a bit clingy," Chen Nan picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it on the plate. "I thought about what you said last time. You're right. I finally got out of the quagmire. If I go back..." She shook her head. "I just want to save more money now so that I can give Yunyun more dowry."
"You can still take care of this little black face of mine."
"You need eight pack abs to do that."
"I have them," Jiang You picked up a shrimp steak and took a bite. "As for the abdominal muscles, they are all there. The only difference is whether they can be seen with the naked eye or not. If you don't believe me, why don't you touch them more often at night?"
"Rogue." Chen Nan cursed in a low voice.
"I have a college classmate, Zhao Shiqi, who will be here next week. He has only one tendon on each of his two rectus abdominis muscles, so no matter how much he trains, he only has four abdominal muscles, commonly known as window abdominal muscles."
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Nan asked with doubt in his tone.
"Yes, at that time he made a bet with me to see who could develop eight-pack abs first, but I didn't expect the result," Jiang You smiled and shook his head, "If he wants to have eight-pack abs, he has to have surgery and then have four tendons cut out the next day."
"It seems like you two have a good relationship."
"We're in the same dormitory, living together for three years..." He squinted his eyes and saw a little boy of five or six years old in front of him, wearing a yellow T-shirt and denim overalls, walking around in the crowd crying, as if looking for an adult.
Chen Nan was sensitive to the change in Jiang You's eyes, and she asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang You retracted his gaze, "Nothing, I just thought of something." He watched Chen Nan put down his fork and almost finished eating, "Let's go, we still have to go to Suning."
They walked out of the dining area. After arriving at the self-pickup area, they found a staff member, pressed the code they had taken with their mobile phones to make an order, took the order to the counter to pay, and then went to the window to handle the delivery. Then they left the mall empty-handed and called a taxi to Suning.
Following Chen Nan's suggestion, Jiang You bought two televisions, a double-door refrigerator, a capsule coffee machine, a fully automatic oven, a microwave oven, and an electric pressure cooker.
After paying the money, Jiang You still ordered delivery for tomorrow.
Jiang You looked at the balance on his bank card and said, "It's like going back to the days before liberation. Sister Nan, I really want to be supported."
Chen Nan pinched the flesh on his waist and said, "It's all fat, not worth much. I'll give you 20 yuan per pound."
"That's more than 3,000 yuan, enough to last until the end of the month."
He saw a boy sitting under the street light, wearing a yellow T-shirt and denim overalls.
No shadow.
The taxi stopped in front of them. Jiang You opened the back door, and after Chen Nan got in, he got in too.
