When I was cooking the last dish, the mobile phone on the table rang suddenly. It was a video call from my mother.He got through and asked, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

 In the video, my mother said, "I have eaten, how about you, have you eaten?"

 "It's in the process." He pointed the camera at the dishes that were already cooked, as well as the ones that were being fried in the pot.Then put the phone on the wall and stand it up.Stir-fry the vegetables a bit so they don't get mushy.

 Mom asked, "How do I do it myself?"

 "It's Chinese New Year, I don't want to eat out."

 "I would have gone to your place with your father if I had known."

 "Aren't you and dad busy too? It's okay, anyway, you can go back on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." He said that it was a bit strange to hear a knock on the door outside. How could someone knock on the door at this time?

 "Someone knocks on the door, I'll open the door." He told his mother, turned off the fire, dried his hands, and opened the door outside.

 When the door opened, he was a little surprised, "Why are you?"

 The one standing outside the door was actually Yang Jinxia. She was wearing a red dress and said, "I happened to be passing by here, so I came up to have a look. Why, you're not welcome?"

 "Of course you're welcome." A smile appeared on Chen Xu's face. She always did things unexpectedly.Open the door, "Come in."

 Yang Jinxia walked in, looked around the room, and said, "It's pretty clean. Have you eaten yet?"

 "I'm working on it." Chen Xu pulled out the chair in front of the computer desk and said, "You sit down first, I still have some dishes to cook."

 She sat on a chair, looked at the few dishes on the low square table, a pot of white-cut chicken, a fried fish, and a meatball soup, and said, "It looks pretty good."

 Chen Xu entered the kitchen, and the mother in the mobile phone video asked curiously, "Who is it, it sounds like a woman."

 "A friend of mine, Mom, I'll call you after I finish eating."

 As Chen Xu said, he hung up the phone.Then he picked up the dishes in the pot, took them out, and put them on the table.He asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

 "not yet."

 "Or else, together."

416 Chapter 413 Ugly words first

 "This is CCTV, good evening, viewers..." From the computer speakers, came the voice of the live host of the Spring Festival Gala.

 Yang Jinxia said, "Okay."

 Chen Xu put his bowl and chopsticks in front of her, turned around and went into the kitchen, and took a stainless steel basin.Almost no one from his family came. Originally, there was a pair, but one was dropped, and only one remained.The chopsticks are the same, one is missing, and there are three chopsticks left.

 He remembered that when he was eating takeaway a few days ago, he had an extra pair of chopsticks and put them on the computer desk. When he came out to look, he found that they were still there.Take it and take it apart, sit on the edge of the bed, and start eating.

 The room is small, and once a table is placed, there is not much space.

 Seeing the stainless steel basin and disposable chopsticks in his hand, Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "You're quite frugal."

 "There are very few guests at home." Chen Xu said while helping her pick up a piece of chicken.

 "Have you lived here long?"

 "I've been living here since I graduated. I plan to move out after the new year."

 "Have you found a good place? Well, your craftsmanship is quite good. This boiled chicken is better than those made by some big restaurants." Yang Jinxia said in surprise after taking a sip.

 Chen Xu said with a smile, "Eat more if it tastes good."

 She tried fried fish and soup again, and said, "Not bad, I can't imagine that you can still have such good cooking skills."

 "I have a lot of interests, but I just don't have much patience. I learn a little bit about this, and a little bit about that one, but I don't know much about it." Chen Xu picked up another piece of chicken.

 Yang Jinxia picked up the meat, dipped some soy sauce soaked in coriander, and asked, "Is it also in the field of artificial intelligence?"

 "It's for making money, so naturally it takes more energy."

 Yang Jinxia looked at the computer screen, watched the opening program of the Spring Festival Gala, and asked, "Is there any beer?"

 "I'll go down and buy it." Chen Xu said, standing up.

 "No need." She picked up her phone and sent a message.

 After a while, someone knocked on the door, and it was her female driver who came up with several bottles of beer.

 Chen Xu opened the door, he took the beer and said, "Otherwise, let's come in and have a drink together."

 "No, I've already eaten." The female driver said with a smile on her face, turned around and went downstairs.

 He found two cups, washed them, and each poured a cup.

 Yang Jinxia took a cup, took a sip, and said, "When I was young, my grandma and I would spend the New Year together. At this time, she would open a bottle of beer and drink one by one. When I grow up , I drank with her. Later, she fell ill and could no longer drink.”

 As she said, she finished drinking a glass of wine, and Chen Xu filled it up for her.

 She suddenly asked, "How much do you know about me?"

 Chen Xu said, "It's not much."

 "That's pretty familiar." Yang Jinxia picked up the cup again, "Tell me about you."

 "Me? You should have checked everything about me. There's nothing to say."

 "Then tell me what I don't know."

 "One must have some secrets, which cannot be told to anyone."

 Yang Jinxia held the cup, shook it lightly, and said, "We are about to start working together, and there must be some basis for mutual trust."

 "You should know the value of those materials, which is enough to represent my sincerity."

 She shook her head and said, "It's so important, how do I know, aren't you making up a story?"

 "You can treat these as a story. I have written novels on the Internet before, and I have a big brain."

 "Hmph, it's fine if you don't want to say it."

 After that, the two didn't talk much, they watched the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala while eating.

 Finally, when the food was all gone, Chen Xu started to pack his things. After washing the dishes, he came out after drying his hands. Seeing that she was still drinking, he knew that she was drinking well, so he did not persuade her. He put away the table, folded it and put it in end of bed.

 "Have you found the place yet?" Yang Jinxia asked again after waiting for him to finish his work.

 "not yet."

 "I have an empty house, let me borrow it from you."

 "Let's forget it, in case we break up in the future, we have to move again."

 She turned to look at him and said, "You are really courageous, you dare to say anything."

 "The ugly words are up front, which is good for mutual cooperation."

 She didn't mention this matter again, and watched the Spring Festival Gala with relish.

 Chen Xu didn't speak any more, just sat on the side with her, watching the program on TV.

 After returning to reality, there may not be many opportunities to have New Year's Eve with her like this, and then watch the Spring Festival Gala.

 During this period, his mobile phone rang from time to time, there were several calls, and more WeChat messages.The call was from Liu Kun and Xiyun, and the WeChat was from some relatives, classmates, friends, and mainly colleagues who sent New Year greetings.

 He also made a few phone calls, mainly to a few elders, and sent out some red envelopes.

 In comparison, Yang Jinxia's cell phone never rang.

 It wasn't until the countdown to zero that she stood up from her chair and said, "I have to go."

 Chen Xu sent her downstairs.

 "After the Lantern Festival, you can come to my office to discuss cooperation." After getting into the car, she said.

 "Okay, let's make an appointment then." Chen Xu watched the car disappear around the corner, and felt that this new year was not bad.

 Back at the rented house, the smell of her still seemed to remain in the house. He looked at the computer, the host was announcing the official end of the party, and stepped forward to turn it off.

 He pulled up the chair, went to the computer, took out his mobile phone, saw a few unread messages on QQ, clicked on it, it was from Bai Jinxuan, he saw it just now, but he didn't click on it.

 This is his basic principle, in front of one of them, try not to contact the other two women.

 After he opened it, there were some New Year greetings on it.He couldn't help but smile, he saw her on TV just now, it's really thoughtful to be able to send him a message at a time like this.

 He replied a message, put down his phone, opened the webpage, and started looking for a house.

 After a while, Bai Jinxuan replied, "It's so late, are you still busy?"

 "When there are guests at home, they will look for a house online."

 "What, do you want to buy a house?"

 "Renting a house, after the new year, ready to move."

 "By the way, I haven't asked yet, which city are you in?"

 "G City."

 After a while, the other person replied, "I have a friend who just wants to rent out a house, do you want to see it?"

 Chen Xu rubbed his chin, she didn't have any friends, she must be talking about herself.She is not very good at managing money. After earning money, she used it to buy a house. Due to the relationship between the purchase restriction policy and money, she has only bought two houses in City G, one in her name and the other in her mother's name. Down.

 Naturally, he had no reason to refuse, and replied, "Okay, you can give me your friend's contact information at that time, and I will contact you after the Chinese New Year."

417 Chapter 414 Response

 "The God of Wealth is here, the God of Wealth is here, good intentions will be rewarded..."

 When Chen Xu passed the convenience store at the intersection, he heard the sound of festive music coming from inside, and finally felt a touch of the New Year.

 Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the neighborhood is much deserted than usual. Many of the people who live here come from other places to work. Basically, they all go home for the New Year, and there are relatively few people who stay here.

 Even the shops on the street were basically closed.That convenience store was the only one open.

 This is the first time he has stayed in this city for the Spring Festival, and it feels quite novel.

 He saw a few children in the store, picking out plastic guns around there, couldn't help laughing, went in, and bought a few packs of chicken feet and drinks.

 "Why didn't you go home for the New Year?" When paying, he spoke to the boss.

 He usually comes to buy things, and he is familiar with it. The owner and his wife run this store. They open after six o'clock and don't rest until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. The couple take turns to look at the store, which can be very hard.

 The boss is a man in his thirties with a crew cut. He heard the words and said, "The children have been taken over, and it's the same here for the New Year."

 "That's right." After Chen Xu paid, he said goodbye with a smile, and left with his things.

 He just turned around the intersection, saw the car parked downstairs, walked over, looked at the fallen car window, and said, "Just passing by here again?"

 Sitting in the car was Yang Jinxia, ​​holding a hand warmer in the shape of a penguin in her hand, and said, "I came here specially to find you, get in the car."

 Chen Xu said, "Wait for me." He entered the corridor, went upstairs, put away the things in his hand, and changed his clothes.

 He just went for a run and was sweating all over, so he couldn't just follow her like this.

 He changed his clothes and went downstairs, got into the car directly, and asked, "Where are you going?"

 She clasped the hand warmer with her hands and said, "Yesterday you treated me to a meal, and today it's time for me to treat you back."

 "From what you mean, do you want to cook yourself?"

 "I disappoint you, I can't cook."

 Chen Xu felt warm when he thought of the scene where she learned to cook from 2003 in the dream when he first met her.

 Yang Jinxia looked at the expression on his face and said, "When I learn it later, I will invite you again."

 "Okay." Chen Xu smiled. At this time, the car passed by a square, which seemed to be engaged in activities, and there were many people, and said, "It's quite lively here."

 "Well, the flower market is more lively, especially at night, if you are interested, you can go shopping."

 "You usually celebrate New Year in this city, right?"

 "No, when I was young, I went back to my hometown with my grandma for several Spring Festivals."

 Chen Xu remembered that she mentioned that her grandma's hometown is in the north, north of the Yellow River, and asked, "Is the Spring Festival in the north particularly different?"

 The light in Yang Jinxia's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's really different. The temperature and customs are completely different. If you have a chance, you can experience it."

 "It's okay to go on vacation in normal times, but it's fine during the Spring Festival."

 The two chatted and chatted, and the place arrived.

 Chen Xu looked up and saw that it was a hot pot restaurant.

 After entering the store, there were quite a lot of people inside, most of them were young people, Yang Jinxia made a reservation in advance, it was not a box, it was in the lobby.

 After the two sat down, the waiter came over with the menu, and Yang Jinxia motioned for him to order.

 After Chen Xu ordered, he handed her the menu, and she added a few more items. After finishing, she said, "This is my first time eating hot pot."
