The Life As It Is Chapter 8

After arriving home, Ryan Shi told Arthur Shi about the move. Arthur Shi was stunned for a moment but said nothing.

He is older and cannot compete with young people. He cannot afford long-distance commuting for a long time.

Arthur Shi's eyes moved around, filled with memories everywhere.

When they first moved here, the father and son moved from a large villa to an old community. The huge gap made them feel endless depression.

Time passed by, and after surviving that difficult time, they lived in this house, living a peaceful and simple life that they could no longer part with.

His father was unwilling, and Ryan Shi was full of reluctance, so he simply said, "Dad, let's keep the house and come back when we are free."

Arthur Shi's eyes burst into joy, and he said three good words: "Okay, okay, okay."

The old community has a lot of human touch. The father and son have enjoyed the care of many neighbors, and the news of moving has to be notified.

Ryan Shi specially made some food for Arthur Shi and asked Arthur Shi to take it with him when he conveyed the message. It was considered as a token of his gratitude.

Ryan Shi was informed that he would be able to move there in two or three days, and he had to start packing.

After that, I would come over from time to time, and most of the things I had to take away were reduced.

Operation Ryan Shi is structured. First, put things into plastic bags by category, then label them and write down the names of the items to prevent them from being found.

His men were busy, and they were thinking about future arrangements without wasting time.

Dominic Gu is a generous boss, and Arthur Shi, as the helmsman of the company's transformation, must have a high salary, more than enough to support the father and son.

Without the pressure of survival, Ryan Shi no longer has to continue writing code.

In his previous life, in order to fulfill his father's last wish, he gradually became the boss of an emerging technology company from a programmer. He gained a lot and sacrificed a lot. He lost his free time and opened his eyes every day to work.

He didn't want to live such a tired life anymore, spending his whole life around computers.

So what’s next?

Ryan Shi was a little confused.

Open a small shop, cook food, and fill the stomachs of every diner?

Ryan Shi has no interest. He likes to make delicious food and enjoys the time when doing housework to free himself, but that doesn't mean he wants to make a living from it.

The kitchen condiments needed to be used before moving away, but Ryan Shi didn't move and went into the bedroom to pack clothes.

It’s still a long time, so I have time to think slowly.

April 18th is auspicious, it is time to break ground and move house.

When he got up in the morning and had a simple breakfast, Ryan Shi sealed the pots and pans in the kitchen, put them in the cupboard, and took away the unpacked condiments.

Someone had already come to move things away. Ryan Shi was carrying his backpack and was waiting for Arthur Shi to go out. He stayed behind and locked the door.

Before closing the door, Ryan Shi looked back for the last time.

The house is much emptier than before, clean and tidy, waiting for the next visit of the owners.

goodbye.

The new home is right next door to Dominic Gu. It has a two-unit design on one floor. The house is bright and spacious, with simple decoration and good ventilation and lighting.

When he first arrived at his new home, Ryan Shi was not busy cooking. He ordered a takeaway and ate with Arthur Shi Jiang. After eating, Ryan Shi made the bed to let Arthur Shi take a rest after a busy day.

I am full of energy and am not in a hurry to rest. I want to clean up the kitchen first.

After briefly browsing the bedrooms, study, etc., Ryan Shi walked into the kitchen expectantly. The kitchen that caught his eye was as clean as new. Someone must have cleaned it in advance. All the spices, bowls and spoons were available.

Both father and son are very satisfied with their new home, and this is all due to Dominic Gu. In order to thank the other party, Ryan Shi planned to invite Dominic Gu to attend the Wen Ju Banquet.

This proposal was naturally recognized by Arthur Shi.

With the lessons learned from the last time, Ryan Shi said before Arthur Shi asked, "Leo An traveled abroad recently."

Arthur Shi shut up angrily and muttered, "I didn't ask you."

Ryan Shi didn't lie to Arthur Shi. Now his circle of friends is full of Leo An's nine-square grid. The photos cover several countries, and the accompanying text is about enjoying vacation and being in a good mood.

But judging from the original work, Leo An broke up with Marcus Li not long ago and was feeling depressed.

Posting these posts to Moments is just to show your anger.

Ryan Shi likes to hear this, and as long as he doesn't harass him, he can do whatever he wants with Leo An.

The Wen Ju Banquet was scheduled for the third day after the move, which was also the weekend.

Ryan Shi got up early. There was a heavy workload today. In addition to preparing lunch, he was also preparing to make some desserts.

In addition to cleaning the house these days, he is reading recipes and learning some sweet meals and desserts.

Arthur Shi was tortured, and the three high-ranking people could only watch and not eat. They tried all kinds of methods but Ryan Shi couldn't let go.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the doorbell rang.

Ryan Shi had flour in his hand, and he thought Arthur Shi would answer the door, but there was no movement in the room for a long time. In desperation, Ryan Shi could only wash his hands and opened the door.

As expected, it was Dominic Gu outside the door. As soon as he met, he saw that there was still flour on Ryan Shi's apron. He put the gift on the porch and asked, "Still busy, where is Uncle Shi?"

Ryan Shi was also puzzled and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

Dominic Gu changed into the slippers specially prepared for him. As soon as he entered, he was dazzled by the decoration in the room.

It's not that it's luxurious, it's just that compared to his home of the same size and decoration, it feels a lot more like home.

He casually walked around the living room and said, "It's well decorated."

Ryan Shi accompanied Dominic Gu and heard this and said, "I added some small decorations. My dad and I both like warm colors to make them more popular."

Dominic Gu thought thoughtfully and said, "Then I'll buy some too."

Ryan Shi still had to cook, so he said, "Brother Gu, please sit down first while I continue to prepare the dishes."

Hearing this, Dominic Gu stood up and said, "It's boring to be alone. Let me help you."

Before he could refuse, Dominic Gu was already on his way to the kitchen. Ryan Shi could only compromise and picked up the unused apron and handed it to Dominic Gu: "Tie this, don't get your clothes dirty."

Entering the kitchen, Dominic Gu put on his apron, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the chopping board eagerly: "What can I do? Knead the dough?"

Ryan Shi was actually not used to having people around when cooking. He handed him a basin of vegetables that needed to be washed and sent him to the sink to choose and wash the vegetables.

Ryan Shi's face was calm and focused, and his slender and powerful hands were like the creator. In his hands, the flour obediently turned into exquisite desserts.

Moreover, he can also keep an eye on the dishes in the pot while making desserts, so he can multitask in an orderly manner.

Dominic Gu was itching to watch.

Ryan Shi felt the hot gaze and felt helpless.

Why is it that Arthur Shi is becoming more and more childish, everyone wants to snatch his meal?

Ryan Shi first baked a batch of pasta. While the oven was running, he left a small ball of dough alone and turned to his left: "Would you like to try it?"

Dominic Gu responded immediately, wiped his hands, came to Ryan Shi's side, and stretched out his hand to the white dough.

Ryan Shi watched from the side and gave some pointers from time to time. As a result, he saw that the originally small and round dough was kneaded into an irregular lump under Dominic Gu's clumsy operation.

Dominic Gu kept rubbing his fingers, trying to save it.

But in Ryan Shi's hands, the noodle was so well-behaved, but in his hands it became completely rebellious. No matter how hard he tried to imitate Ryan Shi's operations, the noodle still looked like that dead.

Ryan Shi glanced at Dominic Gu secretly, and the other person's expression became more and more serious, with a calm aura lingering around him.

The dough was kneaded into shape. Finally, Ryan Shi said, "I guess the ratio of water to dough is not right. Brother Gu, the soup in the pot is almost ready. Help me fill it up."

Dominic Gu's men stopped for a moment, looked at Ryan Shi with peach blossom eyes, and said, "Just tell me why it's so difficult." His tone was full of resentment.

Awkwardly, Dominic Gu put down the dough that had been tossed into a paste, and turned to serve the soup. He caught sight of Ryan Shi from the corner of his eye, and kneaded it in three strokes.

It turned out that it wasn't the problem with the face, Dominic Gu's auricles became hot.

Awkward.

The pastry in the oven happened to be out of the oven, and Ryan Shi took it out and continued to steam it, just in time to finish steaming the rest.

Ryan Shi caught Dominic Gu's gaze and silently took one and handed it to him. Dominic Gu took it a little helplessly and took a small bite, feeling the heat coming out.

Ryan Shi asked: "How does it taste?"

While chewing, Dominic Gu flapped his palms and said inarticulately: "It's delicious, very sweet."

After Ryan Shi cleaned the chopping board, he started cutting the homemade braised pork again, while saying, "I added more sugar, I think it should suit your appetite."

"Really?" Dominic Gu was stunned for a few seconds, looking at the side face that was concentrating on preparing food, and the auricles that had just subsided suddenly felt faintly warm again.

"No wonder it tastes so good." He whispered.

The first time someone cooks at home, the food will be cooked to his taste.

After finishing a piece of noodles, Dominic Gu put down his chopsticks still unsatisfied, and then successively took the braised chicken feet, elbow meat, and bacon sausages handed over by Ryan Shi.

Basically, when Ryan Shi cooked a dish, he would feed it a bite. By the end of the meal, Dominic Gu felt half full.

Ryan Shi watched Dominic Gu take small bites of the food, and felt relieved. Finally, he didn't have to worry about anyone snatching his rice shovel!

Without the trouble caused by the kitchen noob, Ryan Shi moved very quickly and had just finished cooking the last dish when Arthur Shi returned home.

"Dad, where have you been? Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Arthur Shi was carrying the food, and Dominic Gu behind him was also holding chopsticks and following suit.

"It's nothing, I went out for a few steps. Oh, Xiao Gu can also cook, so I have to try it." Arthur Shi took off his scarf and sat at the table, "Sit down quickly, don't be busy."

The three of them sat together again. Arthur Shi looked at the dessert in front of Dominic Gu: "Yo", he teased, "What's wrong? It's specially made for Xiao Gu. Even dad and I can't take a bite?"
