Chapter 195 Can you hear me?
Lin Zhiwan does her housework very well. The dishes have just been served here and she has already washed the pot over there.
The stove is as clean as if it has not been used at all.
There are four dishes on the table. The three meat dishes, squirrel mandarin fish, braised pork ribs, and chili fried pork, were all ordered by Su Chengyi.
Lin Zhiwan couldn’t see the lack of green vegetables on the table, so she fried another portion of cabbage.
Several dishes are beautiful in color and full of aroma.
Having not eaten anything since last night until noon today, Su Chengyi felt hungry after being awakened by the aroma.
Lin Zhiwan brought two bowls of rice over.
Since he lives alone and doesn’t cook, Su Chengyi’s rice bowls are all big bowls for eating instant noodles.
Lin Zhiwan’s rice only took up the bottom of a bowl, while Su Chengyi’s was a full bowl.
Su Chengyi's chopsticks first reached for the squirrel mandarin fish that he had been thinking about.
Lin Zhiwan is obviously a person who pays attention to the presentation of dishes, and is a typical Chinese chef who is very particular about it.
First of all, the presentation is very exquisite, and it looks no different from what the Songhelou chef makes.
The fried mandarin fish has an upturned head and tail shape. The skin is golden and crispy, and it becomes red hot when the sauce is poured on it.
Because the shape was so delicate, Su Chengyi even hesitated where to start with the chopsticks.
In the end, hunger defeated the obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he picked out a large piece from the middle of the fish's belly.
In Lin Zhiwan’s expectant eyes, he blew the hot air and took a sip.
The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is sweet and sour, making it extremely delicious in the mouth.
Su Chengyi immediately gave a thumbs up with his left hand holding the bowl.
It’s really delicious.
Both have their own strengths and weaknesses with the chef from Songhelou, but all in all they are a taste that you will never forget once you try it.
What's more, Lin Zhiwan probably has no professional training and relies solely on her own talent, which is really amazing.
Su Chengyi has always felt that people like her who are missing a certain part will definitely have a new shining point in another part.
Facts have proved that it is indeed true, and what shines in her body is far more than just a certain part.
After seeing Su Chengyi's satisfied expression, Lin Zhiwan put her hanging heart back into her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to the specialty dish of squirrel and mandarin fish, other dishes are also worth ordering.
The braised pork ribs are bright red in color, the meat is soft and tender, and it falls off the bone in one bite. Combined with the spicy and fragrant chili fried pork next door, it is a complete rice elimination machine.
Lin Zhiwan ate little by herself, occasionally giving him a chopstick of cabbage.
As soon as Su Chengyi looked up, he saw her gesturing with a smile:
“You can’t just eat meat, but also eat more vegetables.”
It's like supervising a child's meal.
Su Chengyi is not picky about food, and this plate of fried cabbage is also very delicious, refreshing and soothing.
He originally thought that the instant noodle bowl was a bit too big, but he ate it all very smoothly.
After feasting, Su Chengyi stood up, poured two glasses of water over and handed them to Lin Zhiwan.
Looking at her serious expression on drinking water, he gave a thumbs up and said "thank you".
Lin Zhiwan quickly put down the water glass,
“No, it’s me who wants to thank you.”
Su Chengyi pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, leaning back slightly, saying, “You want to thank me.” What" expression.
The two of them were sitting across from each other when they were eating, but now they are closer to each other.
Lin Zhiwan's expression immediately became a little panicked. She lowered her head and took a deep breath, seeming to have made up her mind.
Then she turned around and took the white canvas bag hanging behind the chair, took out a small object from it, and handed it over.
Su Chengyi took it and saw that it was actually a sachet pendant.
It is round, no bigger than the palm of your hand, worn with a tassel chain, and smells of mugwort.
The pattern on the surface should be hand-embroidered, very delicate, with some bright red embellishments on the green branches and leaves.
There is also the word "peace" next to it.
Su Chengyi took it in his hand and squeezed it. It was soft and soft, and there should be cotton stuffing sewn inside.
“Did you do it yourself?”
Lin Zhiwan nodded slightly nervously.
Su Cheng realized that when she went to the Olive District to find Brother Xiaofei that day, she was teaching embroidery to the old lady next door.
“It’s beautiful, is this a cherry?”
Lin Zhiwan was very happy when she saw him sign "beautiful", but when she saw him asking "is it a cherry", she shook her head in panic.
Not a cherry?
Su Chengyi was curious and looked over and over again.
“What is that?”
Lin Zhiwan still shook his head,
"It's not cherries anyway."
Why are you still so mysterious?
Su Chengyi took it in his hand and weighed it carefully, but still couldn't see what it was.
First of all, it is ruled out that it is durian. Secondly, it is definitely not pineapple or watermelon.
It can’t be Apple, right?
Forget it, it must be some kind of fruit anyway.
Maybe it’s some kind of wild fruit in his blind spot of knowledge.
“Can I hang it on my schoolbag?”
Su Chengyi really liked it and asked with a smile.
“Of course.”
Seeing that he liked it, Lin Zhiwan was even more happy and nodded hurriedly.
Su Chengyi walked back to the room, took out his empty schoolbag, and handed it to her hand.
“I don’t know how to tie this.”
Lin Zhiwan smiled softly, carefully tied the sachet to the strap of his schoolbag, then raised his head and gestured:
"Peace."
"Okay, safe."
Su Chengyi imitated her gestures.
A red and white pendant like this is hung on the black schoolbag, which seems to add a bright embellishment.
Lin Zhiwan watched him lift up his schoolbag to show it to her, and the tension in her heart finally relaxed.
She has been thinking about buying a gift for Su Chengyi. After all, people like him seem to lack everything.
Later, the neighbor's grandma told her that thoughts are the most important thing.
She learned embroidery from her mother when she was a child.
Generally speaking, they embroider some gadgets that are easy to sell, such as small purses and small dolls.
There is a gathering in the town once every half month. She and her mother can embroider a basket together and sell them together.
Both of them are handy and sell cheaply, so these gadgets sell very well, and they are always snatched up by swarms of swarms.
The money from the sales can be used to supplement household expenses. Sometimes her mother will reward her and buy her a piece of candy.
It's not the exquisitely packaged candies nowadays, which are generally a large piece of white. If you ask how much you want to buy, he will break off a small piece and give it to you.
If you let today's children eat it, they will definitely be severely disliked.
It is sticky and rough, and tastes sweet at most.
But for Lin Zhiwan at the time, it was really a huge reward.
She would accept it, but never eat it. She would take it home and feed it to her younger brother.
One time when the weather was too hot, she carried it close to her body. When she came home, it had turned into a puddle of mud and had no original shape.
Lin Tong was still young at that time and was unwilling to eat, so she had to eat it by herself.
It was like tasting sweetness for the first time in my memory.
After knowing what sugar tasted like, she never ate it again.
Even though Sister Yang's salary is now very high, which was so high that she never dared to imagine before, she has long been accustomed to compressing her own needs.
If Su Chengyi knew about it, he would definitely show that "don't understand" expression.
Lin Zhiwan thought this way, and was glad that he would not know these things.
She didn't know that Su Chengyi had already made a guess from the fact that she only bought one lollipop today.
Looking at her in a daze, Su Chengyi put her schoolbag aside, thought about it, and gestured:
"As a courtesy, I have something to give you."
Lin Zhiwan was stunned and shook her head subconsciously.
“No, I’m not giving it to you, I’m giving it back to you.”
Su Chengyi thought about it and rephrased it.
This time Lin Zhiwan was even more panicked and took a quick look at the sachet he had just hung up.
"Close your eyes."
Su Chengyi, however, did not intend to explain any more and made a direct request.
Although Lin Zhiwan was nervous and worried, she still closed her eyes honestly when she saw that he couldn't help but explain.
Su Chengyi took out the hearing aid from his shirt pocket.
He checked the information in advance and knew how to wear this.
But looking back, I still feel a little nervous when I really want to get started.
He held it carefully, but unexpectedly, as soon as his finger touched behind Lin Zhiwan's ear, she bounced away as if she was electrocuted, and her hands stretched out in panic to block it.
Su Chengyi suddenly realized that Lin Zhiwan had no hearing and could not speak, and now he made her close her eyes again.
In her world, it was a completely dark and silent environment.
Originally, she was asked to close her eyes to calm her nerves, but now she seems to be even more nervous.
But despite this, she still kept her eyes closed. Su Chengyi sighed and reached out to pat her, trying to indicate that she could open her eyes. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiwan seemed to have misunderstood, and her fingers trembled as she grabbed his wrist.
Also.
Su Chengyi felt the rough skin on her fingertips, and thought about it and asked Yangliu to give her a few bottles of hand cream.
Lin Zhiwan seemed to feel more settled when she had something to rely on. Su Chengyi no longer hesitated and carefully put the hearing aid into her ears according to the method taught in the video.
What he didn't know was that people with hearing impairments are very sensitive to their ears and are rarely willing to let others touch them.
Lin Zhiwan felt warm fingertips wrapped with a cold object being put into her ears, and then the world suddenly became lively.
Sounds that I have not heard for a long time are rushing into my ears from all directions.
The sound of people pulling chairs upstairs, the chatter and laughter of passers-by in the alley, and the gentle sound of wind coming from the open window.
And the clear and gentle voice of the boy next to him, he said:
"Can you hear me?"
It turned out that his voice sounded like this.
Lin Zhiwan was a little dazed after hearing this, and slowly opened her eyes.
Su Chengyi frowned slightly. He now wondered if there was something wrong with the hearing aid.
Why is there no response?
You know that Wu Bin is not a reliable guy.
He signed again and asked:
“Can’t you hear me?”
Lin Zhiwan shook her head, nodded again, and finally remembered to sign:
“You talk again.”
Su Chengyi suddenly felt that her eye circles were red, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Being looked at by such eyes, Su Chengyi's vocal cords seemed to have malfunctioned, and he almost forgot how to speak.
“Can you hear me?”
He had to say dryly.
Lin Zhiwan nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Ah, that's good."
Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.
“I thought it wasn’t repaired yet, so I was ready to go find that guy.”
“When did you take this to be repaired? How much did it cost to repair it?”
After Lin Zhiwan realized this problem, he immediately took out his wallet again.
Su Chengyi smiled and replied truthfully:
"It didn't cost any money, it was introduced by an acquaintance."
This is indeed a fact, so he didn't feel any psychological pressure to say it.
"Really?"
Lin Zhiwan was still a little doubtful at first, but looking at his calm expression, she couldn't tolerate disbelief.
"Then I should go thank you."
She blinked, looking sincere.
Su Chengyi tried to think about the way Liang Nina saw Lin Zhiwan.
She will definitely regard Lin Zhiwan as an imaginary enemy immediately.
Forget it.
"I've already thanked you."
Su Chengyi waved his hand.
No one would want to see the scene of an asteroid hitting the earth.
Because he was worried that Lin Zhiwan had not heard anyone talk for too long, his tone was deliberately slow, and he felt almost like Lightning in "Zootopia".
Afraid that a loud sound would irritate her hearing.
The cell phone ringtone happened to be ringing loudly at this moment.
Su Chengyi had quick eyes and quick hands. He immediately pressed the answer button and looked at Lin Zhiwan a little apologetically.
The latter was thinking at this time that the ringtone of the mobile phone was so loud.
Her mobile phone always has the vibration set to the maximum level, so the ringtone automatically also goes to the maximum level.
Then others will definitely find it very noisy.
Lin Zhiwan suddenly felt sorry in her heart, and secretly apologized to those who had been disturbed.
It was Xu Yang calling.
“Hello? Mr. Yi!”
The ringtone just now is nothing compared to Xu Yang’s own loudspeaker.
“Huh?”
Su Chengyi silently covered the receiver with his hand.
"Mr. Yi?! Are you listening?? Why is there no sound!"
Xu Yang was very noisy over there, so he probably couldn't hear clearly.
Su Chengyi sighed, but was still afraid of disturbing Lin Zhiwan, so he still lowered his voice and replied:
"You said it, I am listening."
"Oh, you can hear me. Why are you speaking so softly today?
Is there any mistake? I am Xu Yang, your best brother. I am not a pretty sister."
< br>"Dead."
Exhausted of patience, Su Chengyi said the word.
“Hey, don’t, don’t, don’t!”
Knowing that he always gave up when he said it, Xu Yang quickly put away his playful smile.
"We are still active here, when will you come over?"
"Do I have to come over?"
Su Chengyi's words already mean that he has nine percent The possibility of eighteen will not go away.
“That’s not the case, it’s just——”
Xu Yang stretched out his tone and smiled,
"Mu Mu has something to tell you."
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lin Zhiwan who was lost in thought next to him, and released his cover. Hand with receiver.
"Mr. Yi."
Lin Tong spoke in a feeble tone, obviously having suffered a lot.
"What's wrong? What's going on over there."
Su Chengyi asked, holding back her laughter.
Of course Xu Yang will not really embarrass Lin Tong. The only possibility is that the people there are too enthusiastic about him and cannot resist him.
"They are all so enthusiastic. I don't know how to get along with such people. Well, it's my own problem."
Lin Tong sighed while saying.
Lin Zhiwan recognized Lin Tong's voice at this time and frowned, looking very worried.
Su Chengyi looked at her expression, raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
It’s really hard not to go there now.
"Okay, just hold on for a while and I'll be here later."
As soon as Su Chengyi finished speaking, a burst of cheering came from the other side of the receiver.
"Oh yeah!!!"
"This time I can finally see myself!"
"Don't make any noise, didn't you see that I'm already studying at the last minute?"
"What to study? Let me see."
""How to catch Kaizi"."
"."
Su Chengyi was silent for a while.
Is there really such a book in the world? ? ?
Then Xu Yang’s mean voice said:
“Are you ready to welcome me?”
"Stop talking nonsense, push me on WeChat first and then talk."
"I'll add you first, I'll add you first."
"Stop making trouble, you can take care of him later"
< br>Su Chengyi sighed and hung up the phone.
Lin Zhiwan’s eyes became more worried, and she asked worriedly:
"Do you really want to go?"
"It's okay."
Su Chengyi waved his hand pretending to be relaxed.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Lin Zhiwan looked like he was ready to die generously at any time.
But she seemed to be even less able to cope with such a situation than Lin Tong.
"Forget it. Go home and have a good rest and get used to the hearing aid. If you have any questions, contact me at any time and I will take you to the repairman."
This long list He still spoke slowly, and Lin Zhiwan also listened patiently with her ears tilted. After a long moment, he nodded.
