After distributing the items, it was already past eight o'clock. Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci helped Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao wash up and then told them to go back and rest.
Huang Zheyue still had homework, so she reluctantly took her books back to her room to do it.
Jiang Ci closed the door, shut the window, and drew the curtains before changing into her pajamas and lying back in bed. She was still jet-lagged and not sleepy at all. She said to Zhou Mingli, "Tomorrow afternoon we'll go to the Cheng family to tell them I'm back and also deliver the things to them."
Zhou Mingli readily agreed, "Okay, wait for me to get off work?"
"Of course, and while we're at it, I'll have Huasheng call Ergou and ask if he can bring Xiaohuai over this weekend. I also brought her some things, so I have to give them to her," Jiang Ci said. "The day after tomorrow, I'll visit Sister Tao's house and deliver the things they bought."
Jiang Ci didn't bring much when she went there, but she came back with three or four more suitcases. Apart from the things she bought for her own family, everything else was for the Cheng and Shen families.
Zhou Mingli climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed) and pulled her over, asking, "Aren't you tired from carrying so much stuff all the way?"
Jiang Ci then raised her hand to show him.
After leaving the Shanding Brigade, Jiang Ci didn't have as much work to do. She applied snow cream every day, and as she took care of herself, her skin became much fairer and smoother. Not to mention being tired, the calluses on her hands also disappeared a lot.
Zhou Mingli grabbed her hand, held it in his own, and then lowered his head to kiss her fingers and the back of her hand.
Jiang Ci leaned against him and said, "The road to Guang City by bus is difficult, but the waterway after that is very smooth."
"Those European countries are quite different from when I went there before. The eastern and western districts of the capital of Y country are very different. It's a pity I don't have a camera, otherwise I could have taken some photos to bring back."
Zhou Mingli then had another item he needed to buy.
He said, "We'll go together after we buy a camera."
Jiang Ci: "Let's talk about it when you've made some money!"
Zhou Mingli said firmly, "We will make money."
Jiang Ci pinched his earlobe, "With such a good opportunity, even a pig can fly if it stands in the right place at the right time. I don't doubt that you can make money."
Zhou Mingli fell silent. "Could you use a different analogy?"
Jiang Ci paused, "Awesome?"
Zhou Mingli couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "You little rascal."
Their eyes met, their laughter stopped, Zhou Mingli tightened his arms around her waist, lowered his head to kiss the tip of her nose, then kissed her cheek, eyes, and forehead.
Each time it brushed against her lips, it was like a gentle breeze, light and fleeting, elusive and elusive.
Jiang Ci chased after him, slightly annoyed, "What are you doing?"
"Let's finish what we didn't finish today," he said with a light laugh, capturing Jiang Ci's lower lip and gently rubbing it.
Jiang Ci mumbled indistinctly, "Turn off the lights..."
When Zhou Mingli turned off the lights, he was determined to buy a separate courtyard house so that he wouldn't have to worry about anyone spying on him even if he left the lights on all night.
"You...you have to go to work tomorrow, don't bother me for too long."
Zhou Mingli kissed her back and placed his hand on her stomach. "It won't be too late."
"Baby, I still need to help you adjust to the time difference."
Zhou Mingli's loose hair brushed against her back, sending waves of tingling sensation through her.
Jiang Ci sobbed and buried her face in the pillow, thinking to herself that this person really knew how to make excuses for his recklessness.
The summer night wind carries a sweltering heat, let alone a room with its windows and doors tightly shut, where the heat is mixed with an inexplicable commotion that keeps lingering.
Like two fish, they swam intertwined.
Thoughtful people might even take the initiative to carry her to replenish her fluids, preventing her from expending too much energy.
People who are supposed to adjust to the time difference get to bed at 8:30 and don't fall asleep until 1 a.m.
Still dazed, Jiang Ci kicked Zhou Mingli and said angrily, "What kind of time zone adjustment is this?"
Zhou Mingli laughed, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her still-blushing cheeks.
Jiang Ci was able to catch up on sleep the next day, but Zhou Mingli couldn't. He had to get up early for work anyway, and after sleeping for less than four hours, he had to get up as soon as the sky outside was just beginning to lighten with a bluish-white glow.
When the young and energetic Zhou Mingli woke up, he saw Jiang Ci sleeping soundly. He leaned over and kissed Jiang Ci's face repeatedly, pulled down her pajamas that had piled up under her chest as she turned over, covering her navel and waist, and then covered her with a blanket before tiptoeing out the door.
Zhou Mingli made a simple breakfast, glanced at his watch, and headed off to work right on time.
At around 5 a.m., besides the kitchen staff, only the security guards on night duty were still in the unit.
"Brother Zhou is here." A young man from the security department opened the door for Zhou Mingli while yawning.
"You're here. Are you on night duty today?" Zhou Mingli asked casually, as they were quite familiar with each other.
"Yeah, I'm so sleepy after staying up all night!" the young man complained.
Zhou Mingli smiled and said, "The cafeteria makes breakfast very quickly. Why don't you eat breakfast before you leave?"
“Sure! I’ll go check what time it is.” Just as the young man was about to go into the duty room to check the time, Zhou Mingli raised his wrist to look at his watch. “It’s only 5:30.”
The young man turned his head and saw the watch on Zhou Mingli's wrist. He walked over in surprise and exclaimed, "Wow!"
"Brother Zhou! You took it with you to buy a watch!"
Zhou Mingli smiled modestly, "I didn't buy it."
“My husband was away on a business trip and came back yesterday. He brought me a gift from abroad.”
"The watches over there are cheap, and you don't need a ticket."
She bought one for me.
This young man from the security department still doesn't know what it means to deliberately show off.
He looked on with envy, "Brother Zhou, your wife treats you so well!"
Zhou Mingli's smile widened. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to get back to work. Remember to go to the cafeteria for breakfast at 6:30."
"become!"
Zhou Mingli rode his bicycle into the workplace.
After Chef Mo taught Zhou Mingli how to make breakfast, he stopped coming in the mornings very often. Now, Zhou Mingli and another kitchen helper make breakfast at the company.
Zhou Mingli has been doing this for a month now, and he's gotten quite used to it.
Another kitchen helper came over, saw Zhou Mingli, and lazily greeted him.
It's summer now, and everyone is wearing short sleeves, so Zhou Mingli's extra item on his wrist is quite eye-catching.
But the cooks only glanced at it before Zhou Mingli said, "This is a gift my wife brought back for me from abroad, a watch."
"My wife came back yesterday."
Kitchen helper: Who asked you? I just said so.
He raised his hand to scratch his head and gave a somewhat confused "oh".
Zhou Mingli smiled and said, "Let's start preparing breakfast."
The kitchen helper watched as Zhou Mingli, looking refreshed and energetic, changed his clothes and began preparing breakfast with a cheerful and relaxed attitude.
He belatedly began to compare Zhou Mingli's state some time ago with the Zhou Mingli of today, noting the differences between them.
My God, this is so different!
Zhou Mingli was quiet and diligent a while ago, going to the telephone room every single day. But what about now?
Zhang Jun's face was filled with obvious joy, and he worked with great energy!
They're like completely different people!
