53 Chapter 53 moving house
At noon on Sunday, Qian LAN carried a suitcase and went to the apartment building where Xia Pingan and Xia Ning were staying.
Just as she entered the hall downstairs, she saw a naughty child rolling on the floor of the lobby, crying and acting shamelessly with an Auntie. grandma, I want to eat Yingluo! I want to eat this Yingluo! It smells so good! Yingluo, it’s here again! Yingluo, grandma, I want to eat Yingluo!
The middle-aged woman grumbled helplessly to the security guard in the reception room in the lobby, ” seriously, who would make this soup on a weekend again? every time, it attracts the cravings of my little grandson and he’s going to make a scene.
The security guard in the radio room stuck his head out of the window, sniffed, and swallowed his saliva. it feels like someone upstairs is making it. How can there be such a fragrant soup? it comes once every few weeks. It’s really terrible.
yes, this soup is too fragrant. I don’t know who’s making the steamed bun. the old grandma looked at her grandson with heartache. the last time I went from house to house and knocked on the door, asking for some soup for my grandson, no one opened the door for me. Steamed bun.
Qian LAN had also smelled the fragrance. It was a very special fragrance that would make one’s appetite increase with just a sniff. The fragrance was drifting around the building, as if it was coming down the stairs or from outside.
“Young lady, who are you looking for?” The security guard in the radio room looked up and saw a beautiful girl in a long dress carrying a box into the lobby. Out of duty, he asked, ”
I’m Xia Pingan’s friend. I’m here to look for him, Yingluo, ” Qian LAN replied.
Oh, Xia Pingan. She lives on the top floor. Just go up the stairs! The security guard in the radio room said.
“Alright, thank you!” Qian LAN naturally knew which room Xia Pingan was staying in.
Qian LAN started to go up the stairs. When she reached the end of the stairs, she heard the security guard and the old lady behind her whispering.
finally, a lady has come to look for Xia ping ‘an. I thought Xia ping’ an would be single for the rest of his life, Yingluo.
this lady is quite pretty. Why would she fall for that Xia Pingan? he’s just a mechanic. He’s honest, dutiful, and poor, ” the old lady muttered.
Qian Lan’s expression was strange when she heard the discussion between the old man and the old woman downstairs.
I’m actually the First Lady to come here to look for Xia ping ‘an?
Xia ping ‘an was honest and didn’t have money?
Not to mention whether the first sentence was true or not, the landlord couple, who had paid 500000 Yuan and had to go to jail, would definitely not agree with the second sentence.
The further up he went, the stronger the fragrance reverberated in the building. The fragrance was rich, strong, and had a fresh smell. It seemed to have the smell of seafood. If he sniffed it carefully, he could smell the smell of chicken soup. In short, it was hard to describe.
Although Qian LAN wasn’t an old woman, the aroma still made her salivate like crazy. She felt a little hungry.
No wonder that brat was rolling around downstairs.
Very quickly, Qian LAN arrived outside Xia Pingan’s house. She first looked at the door number and confirmed that it was correct. Then, she pressed the doorbell.
“Ding-dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-dongle”
The doorbell rang twice. After a few seconds, the safety door opened. Qian LAN saw a pretty girl of about 18 or 19 years old sticking her head out from behind the door vigilantly. She looked outside carefully and asked, ” ah, who are you looking for? ”
Qian LAN laughed, ” you must be Xia Ning. I’m Qian LAN. I’ve made an appointment with your brother to come over this afternoon to bring your lost paintings and money to Xuanji.
“Ah, you’re sister Qian. My brother has told me about you before. You’re beautiful and capable. Xia Ning’s eyes lit up when she saw Qian LAN. She quickly opened the door and invited Qian LAN in. As soon as Qian LAN came in, Xia Ning quickly closed the door, as if she was afraid that the air in the room would escape.
The smell of this room?
As soon as she entered the room, Qian Lan’s nose twitched. She realized that the fragrance was even stronger in this room.
Could it be that the fragrance that the entire building could smell was coming from this room?
brother, sister Qian is here, ” Xia Ning called out to the kitchen.
Then, a voice came from the kitchen. okay, please have a seat, officer Qian. The soup is almost ready. We can eat once I bring it out, Yingluo.
The irresistible fragrance was the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
sister Qian, you’re just in time. You can have dinner with us and try my brother’s soup. Xia Ning, who had brought Qian LAN to the dining room, winked at Qian LAN.
Qian LAN originally wanted to refuse and say that she had already had lunch, but when the words reached her mouth, she somehow changed it to, ” that fragrance is brother’s soup?”
“Not bad, it’s fragrant enough, right?” Xia Ning said proudly, ” that’s my brother’s specialty. He’s the only one in the world who can make such delicious soup.
“Then it seems that I’m in for a treat!” Qian LAN smiled.
As they were talking, Qian LAN saw Xia ping ‘an, who was wearing an apron, carrying a large bowl of fragrant soup out of the kitchen.
It was absolutely true that the fragrance was coming from the pot of soup in Xia Pingan’s hands.
Mr. Xia, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be eating right now, ” Qian LAN stood up and said to Xia Pingan.
The Xia Pingan in front of her was like a cute and warm boy-next-door, which even made Qian LAN feel a little unfamiliar.
Was Xia Pingan, who was wearing an apron and exuding smoke and fire, really the same person who had quietly made him and Liu Rui follow him all the way until they finally walked to the gate of the order Committee and turned around to wave at them?
hahaha, I’ve troubled officer Qian to make a trip here for my sake. This place is simple and crude, and there’s nothing much to entertain us with. Let’s treat officer Qian to a simple meal, ” Xia Pingan laughed. you’re welcome. Please have a seat. I’ll go to the kitchen and bring two more dishes!
“Ah, let me help you, Yingluo.”
……
After a short while, Xia ping ‘an, Xia Ning, and Qian LAN were seated around the table. There were three dishes and a soup on the table. The aroma of the soup was simply enough to make one drool.
Xia Ning opened a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine and poured three glasses of it.
this glass is to celebrate brother finally buying a second-hand pickup truck. Our family finally has a car. In the future, we don’t have to take the bus when we go out to set up a stall. Also, thank you, sister Qian, for sending back the money we lost for my painting. Today is a double blessing.
After hearing Xia Ning’s words, Xia ping ‘an and Qian LAN looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
After the three of them toasted, Xia Ning took Qian Lan’s bowl and added two spoonfuls of soup. There were sea cucumber and abalone in the soup.
“Sister Qian, this is my brother’s signature dish, the Xia family’s Secret fragrant pot soup. Try it.”
Whether it was due to her taste buds or her curiosity, Qian LAN couldn’t hold it in any longer. When she saw the fragrant soup in the bowl, she picked up the spoon and took a small sip. The expression on Qian Lan’s face became interesting.
This soup is really too delicious.
With just one mouthful, Qian LAN felt the taste buds in her mouth being opened up. She couldn’t help but want to drink a second mouthful of Yingluo.
Xia Ning raised her eyebrows at Xia ping ‘an. The expression on her face, in Xia ping’ an’s eyes, could only mean one thing-brother, this sister is also not bad!
……
After the meal, Xia Pingan sent Qian LAN out of the community.
Seeing that Qian LAN wanted to say something several times but hesitated, Xia Pingan smiled and reached out his hand, ” officer Qian, let me formally introduce myself. I, Xia Pingan, am a screw in the National Order Committee of Xianghe city!”
Qian LAN was slightly taken aback. Then, she seemed to heave a sigh of relief. She smiled and shook hands with Xia Pingan, ” Qian LAN, first class Superintendent of the Xianghe City Police Department. By the way, can I ask you a personal question?”
“What’s the problem?”
“You’re the summoner of the Pi Xiu?”
“If I tell you, I’ll have to kill you, Yingluo.”
Qian Lan’s heart tightened. When she saw the smile on Xia Pingan’s face, she realized that Xia Pingan was joking with her.
……
In the evening, after the last fragrant pot soup was finished, Xia Pingan and Xia Ning officially started moving.
Although it was called moving, it was actually quite simple. The two of them moved the six suitcases to Xia Pingan’s newly bought second-hand pickup truck. Then, Xia Pingan drove his newly bought second-hand pickup truck, pulled his luggage, and arrived at the Guang Zhou hotel with Xia Ning. They booked a suite and temporarily stayed there.
