Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 15 Musical Instruments
Jiang You put down his phone, "You feel stupid too, right?"
"How about signing you up for a musical instrument class? Guitar, zither, or violin, which one do you like?"
"Neuropathy."
Jiang You laughed out loud.
The door of the room opened automatically. Jiang Mo stood up, walked out and closed the door again.
The lights were also off.
The home purchase qualification review takes about ten days.
Jiang You stays in the store, reading novels and watching videos every day, liking and voting for his little idols, buying various endorsed foods, and teasing Jiang Mo from time to time. He lives a very comfortable life.
During the Double Ninth Festival, he made an appointment with Chen Nan.
I placed an order on Taobao in advance and bought eight crabs and Shaoxing rice wine.
After getting up in the morning, he cut a few chrysanthemums and put them in a pen holder, and placed it in the middle of the long table together with rice wine.
After the delivery guy delivered the crabs, he took the box to the kitchen.
All the crabs are alive.
Fill the steamer to 70% with water and place the washed crabs on the grate.
Cover the lid and turn on the fire.
Find a bowl, cut the ginger, put the minced ginger and sugar at the bottom of the bowl, pour in balsamic vinegar, add a little salt and soy sauce, and stir well.
Soon after the water boils, the aroma of crabs comes out.
Turn to low heat and steam slowly.
He heard some noise, "Sister Nan..."
He turned around and saw Xue Bei standing at the store door.
With her hair down and wearing a light grey knitted skirt.
Jiang You walked out of the kitchen and came to Xue Bei. "Why did you come here? You didn't even tell me in advance."
"I've been here once before. The door was closed in the yard," Xue Bei turned her head and took a look outside. "I happened to pass by today. Is everything almost done now?"
"They are all newly bought , and the grass was just laid. They may not survive. Sit for a while."
Xue Bei looked around the store.
Very clean.
There were some postcards on the shelves, not many, and it seemed like they hadn't been restocked for a long time.
She walked to the table and sat down, looking at the chrysanthemums on the table.
She smelled a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen.
She asked, "Have you arranged to have someone over for dinner?"
"It's the Double Ninth Festival."
Xue Bei was silent for a moment, then she stood up and said, "Then I'll go first."
"I won't entertain you today. I'll invite you next time when you're free."
Xue Bei understood what Jiang You meant. She smiled and said, "Okay."
When Xue Bei walked out of the insect house, Chen Nan just walked into the yard.
Jiang You turned off the fire and brought out a plate of four crabs and a bowl of crab vinegar.
"These two are yours, and these two are mine. One male and one female for each of us." Jiang You pulled a chair and sat down. He first took a female crab and placed it in front of him, then broke off its legs .
"Do you know the one who just went out?" Chen Nan also took a female crab and started peeling it.
"College classmate."
"classmate?"
"Ex-girlfriend."
"Why did she come to see you?"
"She also went to the last classmate's wedding."
"So we started chatting?"
"Dip it in crab vinegar." Jiang You pushed the bowl towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan dipped the crab legs in it, and after eating, she said, "Where did you buy the crabs? They're pretty good."
"I bought them on Taobao. They are all bath crabs anyway. If they are dead or bad when they are delivered, I can still give them a bad review on Taobao," Jiang You peeled off the shell. "Look at this yellow crab. It's quite plump."
"It's better than what I bought at the market last week. It's from a store I often buy from. The meat is empty. Please send me the link later."
"I might go to Xueshan Lake Resort for a few days soon, and I'll bring you some crabs from there. Even if they're bathing crabs, they're for bathing, not showering."
"I've made a note of that."
Jiang You poured two glasses of rice wine and pushed one in front of Chen Nan.
“I was actually quite hesitant,” he said.
"What?"
"My ex-girlfriend, she looks quiet, right? In fact, she is the type who will take the initiative to do it once she has set her sights on a goal, and she does it very measuredly. I don't know why she fell in love with me."
"So how did you split it?"
"Something happened at home at that time, so I couldn't take care of her."
"Excuse."
"It's true. It's been six years now, almost seven. I thought she was married and her children were old enough to help with cooking, but who knew she was still single."
"Since you still like her and she's so nice, just get back together. I mean it."
Jiang You took a sip of wine and said, "I'm too tired."
"Why are you so tired?" Chen Nan peeled the crab meat and crab roe into the crab shell, poured crab vinegar on it, and placed it in front of Jiang You.
Then she took the crab from Jiang You's hand.
"Hey, Sister Nan, you are the best to me."
Jiang You picked up the crab shell and used chopsticks to sweep all the crab meat and crab roe into his mouth.
He breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
Then he began to remove the legs of the male crab.
"I've sold my house in Lanxinyuan. The buyer paid in full. I'll get the money after he passes the qualification review. When the time comes, please keep an eye on Qingshui Bay for me."
"Okay, I was originally thinking about sending Yunyun to study abroad, but after seeing this old couple, I don't want to do that anymore."
"Why?"
"I just found out that they don't live with their daughter and son-in-law abroad, but in a nursing home, and they have to go back every week to do housework for their daughter ."
“Is it so miserable?”
"That's right. They both tried to take all the money out and give it to their daughter. But when they arrived in the United States, they were too embarrassed to ask their daughter for living expenses, so they had to find a job... They both had good retirement salaries in China, and they used to be teachers."
"There is nothing we can do if our children are unfilial."
"Yunyun is my only daughter. She is going to settle down abroad. I will definitely go with her to help her take care of the child. But I am not used to Western food and my English is not good. If I live in a nursing home abroad, I will really have no one to talk to."
"What will you do if she passes the exam on her own?"
Chen Nan took a sip of rice wine and said, "If she wants to make herself proud, there's nothing I can do about it."
Jiang You thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Mo will definitely not go abroad. It's OK for him to inherit my shop in the future."
Chen Nan smiled, "He's upstairs?"
"We went to the park to play."
"Who did you ask to help you take care of the child ?"
Jiang You broke open the crab body and took a bite of the male crab's roe. "I have a lot of friends."
Jiang Mo was in the second bedroom, listening to the noise . After hearing footsteps coming upstairs, he silently picked up the noise-cancelling headphones and put them on his ears.
