In his previous life, Lin Chengyu hardly ever went into the kitchen, so he seldom paid attention to it. Jiang Xiao took good care of him, so naturally he didn't care.
After entering the kitchen with a little nostalgia in my life, I have a different experience.
Chai, rice, oil and salt are the most trivial and ordinary things in life. It is actually not easy to cook a meal quietly, but thinking about that person, remembering the taste of the other person, thinking that the other person may like it after eating, so trivial and ordinary things are also interesting.
This is probably where the happiness of food lies.
Sometimes he was in a very restless mood, thinking of Jiang Xiao, thinking of his rebirth, but nothing seemed to change.
When Jiang Xiao was with others, it was like a thorn in his heart. He couldn't avoid it, but he couldn't avoid it. He had collapsed before, but the collapse was useless.
Jiang Xiao had a very happy time in that relationship, if he destroyed it, Jiang Xiao would not forgive himself.
He often felt that there was a string in his head that was tense. When he saw Jiang Xiao, he would relax a little. When he saw him and Lin Heyuan together, he would tense up again. His brain hurt and his heart began to feel sore.
Once tightened and loosened, it was difficult for him to calm down. No matter how hard he tried to say to himself, it’s okay, it’s good that he can be with Jiang Xiao now, but it’s always difficult for people to control their emotions.
Going into the kitchen became a relief instead.
He remembered the trivial and ordinary daily life between himself and Jiang Xiao. When he came back from work outside, he was so tired that he had no appetite when he opened the house. Sometimes Jiang Xiao would wait for him when he came back very late.
"There's hot soup in the kitchen," Jiang Xiao, wearing pajamas, helped him untie his tie, and said softly to him, "Do you want to eat anything else?"
He didn't feel so tired all of a sudden, and when his body returned to his senses, he felt that he was hungry.
At night, if you slowly drink a bowl of soup or a small bowl of porridge, you will feel much more comfortable. With that person in your arms, he rarely suffers from insomnia.
Later, after Jiang Xiao left, there were no such good days.
Lin Chengyu memorized the recipe that Jiang Xiao wrote down at home in his previous life. He has always had a good memory, and now he can copy a copy with his eyes closed.
Jiang Xiao wrote it in detail, and he followed it after he was reborn. Even if he failed the first few times, he was able to make some appearances gradually.
Now he can occasionally taste Jiang Xiao's craftsmanship from the dishes he cooks, after all, he learned to cook, which is already very precious to him.
After discovering Jiang Xiao's death in his previous life, he never went to the company again, work seemed meaningless, he already had enough money, but there was no way to bring the dead back.
Friends can't control him, no one can control him.
He stayed at home for a long time, like a beast hiding in his own den, his eyes were always blurred, Jiang Xiao's figure sometimes appeared at home, he couldn't tell whether what was in front of him was a dream or reality.
If he could see Jiang Xiao, he would rather stay in his dream.
Sometimes Lin Chengyu would not eat for several days, he didn't do it on purpose, but he didn't feel that he was hungry when it was like a dream but not a dream.
So he was fine during the two days of hunger strike after rebirth, he was used to it psychologically, and it was not the first time, he was quite skilled.
Sometimes overeating.
One day, he found a pack of hot pot ingredients in the refrigerator, Jiang Xiao got excited and made hot pot at home, and the two of them seemed lively.
He seemed to have some energy that day, even took a shower and changed his clothes, went out to the supermarket normally, bought a bag of various ingredients, including meat, meatballs and vegetables, and arranged them on a plate by himself , and then boil water to boil the bottom of the pot, like a normal person.
He put two bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Because of the familiar taste, he saw Jiang Xiao sitting opposite him amidst the smoke.
Lin Chengyu ate all the food on the table by himself, until he vomited. Later, he felt unwell for several days. Because of the physical pain, he was really awake for a few days.
It is futile to try to find that familiar feeling after death.
After he was reborn and met Jiang Xiao, he really had the pleasure of cooking.
Especially this moment.
Jiang Xiao said that the chestnut cake was delicious, and Lin Chengyu felt the joy from the bottom of his heart.
He likes it, and that's fine.
What is particularly selfish is that after the semester starts, Lin Heyuan is often absent.
In the training team, he is also one of the top-notch ones, and he will most likely participate in the Asian Games in May. The school has granted him a long vacation, and Lin Heyuan's training has never stopped.
Under such circumstances, Lin Chengyu could deceive himself and others for a while, but even if Lin Heyuan was not around, Jiang Xiao and him would not be able to exchange a few words.
After finishing the small business in his hand, he picked a low point and put the money in the stock market, and then he never cared about it again. He concentrated on his studies and had no distractions. He was the first grader in the liberal arts. Lin Chengyu and others Courses and tasks occupy the second place.
It's not that Jiang Xiao and Lin Heyuan haven't been in touch all the time. He has a landline at home, and sometimes he can make calls with Lin Heyuan when Xia Wanwan is not around.
Although mobile phones are rare these days, letters are still popular. Sometimes Jiang Xiao can receive handwritten letters from Lin Heyuan. What kind of harvest.
There were several pages of letter paper, and it was a bit heavy to hold in the hand. Jiang Xiao secretly read it in the room by himself, and then happily put it away.
In July, it will be the World Championships.
Lin Heyuan is able to participate, and it is already certain that he will be recommended by the top universities in China.
Jiang Xiao was also very happy for him.
At this time, Jiang Xiao was preparing for the final exam. The final exam for the second year of high school was the city-wide joint exam. According to the progress of the school, all the high school courses had been completed in the second year of high school, and a comprehensive review would be done in the third year of high school.
The class teacher was there to tell me to treat this matter as a small college entrance examination.
Jiang Xiao was a little absent-minded, thinking that Lin Heyuan would be back after the game, and then thinking about other things in life.
For example, he, Uncle Ye Bing.
Uncle Ye is not young anymore, about the same age as Jiang Xiao's father, in his forties, truck driver is a very tiring job, most of the time day and night, he has many old injuries, including knee joint problems.
Now that he has saved some money, he doesn't want to do it anymore. He wants to set up a store in the county to start a small business, so that he can spend a long time with his family.
Housing prices in the county are still very cheap these days, and it is still worth buying now. Although Jiang Xiao left in his second year of high school in his previous life, he came back when he was moving his parents' grave, so he has some impressions of the county.
At that time, Houlin had changed a lot, and it was much more lively.
Jiang Xiao remembered the scene on the side of the road when he was driving. The county town developed to the south, and many new real estate, supermarkets and living quarters also moved to the south. I heard that even the No. 1 middle school and several elementary schools moved to the south. new campus.
The south of the county is quite barren now, and there is a real estate under construction, but because of the road construction, it is surrounded by yellow mud and sand, and the house is not very easy to sell.
Ye Bing helped Jiang Xiao a lot, and Jiang Xiao also wanted to help him as a staff officer, so he could live a better life after retirement.
After the final exam, Jiang Xiao carried his schoolbag and went to find someone.
The sales department of this real estate is also a small one, unlike the ones that are packaged in the future that are particularly tall and upscale. There are a few models of the real estate, and there are a few old sofas next to it, and there is no one there.
Ye Bing wants to buy a storefront. He earns a lot as a truck driver. Although he has not saved on various expenses, he has saved five or six hundred thousand in savings at home. It is his savings over the years. The current house price is only one For a store of ninety square meters, the various expenses are in the early hundreds of thousands. After selling the storefront, start a small business with 100,000 yuan, and save the rest.
He didn't want to come here to buy, but it looked like there was no one here, it was very deserted, Jiang Xiao dragged him here.
Jiang Xiao knew that he was conservative in his thinking, but no matter how conservative he was, if he just kept the money in his hands, he would be waiting for it to depreciate. Especially in recent years, the depreciation of money is too fast, and the hundreds of thousands in Uncle Ye Bing's hands will be nothing at all.
He was not in a hurry, he went to the sales department to find out the price, and then took Ye Bing for a stroll. Here are all construction sites, where every step is soil, but the things to be built have already taken shape.
There is a big supermarket to be built opposite, the floors have already been poured, and there is a vegetable market over there. The road here is also wide, with six lanes, which is not the same as the narrow two lanes in the old town of the county. The thing is, there are a few pieces of land nearby that have also been sold. I don’t know what to build. The excavator is running up and down, and it looks like it’s in full swing.
It's not that Ye Bing has never seen the world, he knew what he meant by following Jiang Xiao for a couple of laps.
Houlin County is obviously going to expand here, and buying this place at this time will not lose money, and it is a very cost-effective investment.
He has already started to waver, thinking of buying a 90-square-meter storefront here, which is very big and enough for use.
But Jiang Xiao felt that this was not enough.
He drew a picture on the piece of paper in the sales department and circled four points for Ye Bing.
There is a large shop of 90 square meters, and there are three houses of 60 square meters next to it. There are houses in the real estate. The unit price of the houses is cheaper than that of the storefront.
At first glance, Ye Bing could not accept this number, but in comparison, the housing prices in 2005 can be said to be quite friendly.
Moreover, real estate developers are different these days, especially in such small places, where real estate developers can negotiate prices in order to quickly withdraw funds.
The price of 400,000, if you buy a lot, and find some connections, it can be lowered to about 350,000.
Ninety square meters are reserved for my own small business, and the remaining three shops can be rented out, which is a fixed income. In the future, even in small counties, the monthly rent of popular shops along the street will not be less than three or four thousand, and there is no need to worry about renting. More than 10,000 a month is enough to support Uncle Ye Bing's family.
The old house of the Ye family is also old, and it will be demolished sooner or later. Buying a house here is convenient to go to the store. Don’t choose the ones along the street, choose the one inside, which is much quieter and has a better orientation.
350,000 to buy a house, 100,000 or so of starting capital, and keep 150,000 in the bottom of the box as a backup. From Jiang Xiao's point of view, it is very cost-effective.
Ye Bing hesitated.
