Chapter 17

Seeing Xia Xiaochi in a daze, Li Liancheng got out of the car from the left side, and looked at her across the car, a little out of breath, and said, "What are you in a daze for?"

"Hurry up, Xiaoxia! Don't be too angry!" Bi Luochun poked his head out and said.

Xia Xiaochi didn't even have the right to be angry, so he sat in the passenger seat silently, and the BMW finally drove out.

Along the way, there was no conversation, only Bi Luochun said a few words occasionally, and Xia Xiaochi seemed to have nothing to say, but she was thinking about the people in the back seat.

"Xiao Xia, you live so far away!"

"well enough!"

"Why don't you live in another place? It's better to be closer to the company, so it's more convenient to go to work!"

"I'm used to it!" It's not that Xia Xiaochi wants to live in such a remote place, but because the conditions are limited, and now he only needs to fill his stomach.

"Xiao Xia, how old are you this year?"

"It's almost 23!"

"Oh! You are three years older than my sister!"

"Assistant Bi, do you have a younger sister?" Xia Xiaochi asked.

"Yes, my sister Bi Leizhen, she is studying in the south now!"

"Lightning rod?" Xia Xiaochi burst out laughing, she found that the names of Bi Luochun's brother and sister were both weird.

"Hehe! It's not the "lightning rod" you think, it's the bud of the flower bud, the pearl of the pearl, Bi Leizhen!"

An hour later, the BMW parked at the entrance of Wujia Lane.

"Thank you, I'm home! Goodbye!"

"Hey Xiaoxia, do you want me to give you a piece?"

"no need!"

Xia Xiaochi ran into the rain with her bag on, and quickly disappeared into the dark alley. When she ran back home, her clothes were basically wet.

She spread out the bag in her arms, put it on the chair by the door, and started patting the rain on her body again.

While patting the water, she looked up at the gloomy night sky and the light rain, feeling very helpless, she disliked such rainy weather the most.

"Mom!" After entering the door, Xia Xiaochi called out.

"Xiaochi, you're working overtime again!" Peng Yuzhen came out to greet her leaning on a cane.

"Mom! You go inside and rest, I'll cook!"

Xia Xiaochi took out the apron from behind the door, tied it around her waist neatly, and went outside.

The kitchen is built with asbestos tiles outside the house, and there is a set of liquefied gas stove, pots and pans and other kitchen utensils inside. Because there are few people, Xia Xiaochi only needs to cook a bowl of rice, which is enough for the mother and daughter.

Usually, rice is steamed with water. After the rice is put into the pot, Xia Xiaochi starts to pick and wash the vegetables. The vegetables are all bought the day before, and the amount bought at one time is enough for two or three days.

There was the sound of running water washing vegetables in the sink. At this time, her mother appeared at the door and said, "When washing vegetables, you should turn off the faucet. It will waste water if it keeps running!"

"Oh! I see, Mom!"

Xia Xiaochi started chopping vegetables, ready to fry them in an oil pan, when her mother's voice sounded behind her: "Put less oil! Don't fry the vegetables so old!"

"I see, Mom!"

Xia Xiaochi looked back at the pitch-black house, and said, "Mom, it's getting dark, you can turn on the lights!"

"Wait a little longer, wait for you to cook!"

Xia Xiaochi stopped talking, and continued to turn the cooking spatula. She has lived this way for many years, and she has long been used to it.

Every day when I open and close my eyes, I live in the mother's careful planning and frugality. Because of this, they know how to cherish life more than others.

Xia Xiaochi and her mother have lived here for four years in a small alley in Wujia Lane on the outskirts of the city. Although the family conditions are not good, the neighbors are very polite to them.

My mother sews handmade flowers all the year round, and has also made friends with a group of old sisters who have a good relationship. She is not lonely. Therefore, it is quite peaceful to spend these years in the short life of her parents.

The light rain didn't stop, and Li Liancheng, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, was hidden in the darkness, silently watching the hut where the incandescent lights were finally turned on.
