Xie Mi's intuition told him that something seemed to have happened.
She gave up the idea of calling Xu Shuangrong's name directly and walked over to see what Xu Shuangrong was doing.
But when he was about to walk behind Xu Shuangrong, he startled her.
Xu Shuangrong, as if waking up from a dream, stood up suddenly, turned around and hid the things in her hand behind her back, then smiled at Xie Mi.
"Teacher Xie, how come you walk without making any sound? You scared me."
Xie Mi glanced at her hands hidden behind her back without leaving a trace, "Miss Lai said she couldn't find you anywhere, so she asked me to help her look for you. What are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed?"
"I just found some interesting things." Xu Shuangrong smiled and said as he slowly walked around Xie Mi and quickly walked out the door.
During this period, she always hid the thing in her hand at an angle where Xie Mi couldn't see it.
"Since Miss Lai is looking for me, I'll go over first."
“…”
Xie Mi frowned slightly and didn't say anything. After Xu Shuangrong left, he looked at the place where she had just squatted.
This is a storage room, filled with all kinds of messy things, including a bookcase that is half leaning against the wall and looks like it will fall apart at any time.
Most of the books on the bookcase have turned dusty and yellow, and some of the pages have even been damaged by mosquitoes and insects. It is obvious that they are quite old.
When she was behind Xu Shuangrong just now, she seemed to hear the sound of turning pages.
What Xu Shuangrong hid was a book?
After pondering for a moment, Xie Mi turned around and prepared to leave, but was caught off guard by Xu Shuangrong's eyes.
Xu Shuangrong, who had just said she was leaving, did not leave. Instead, she stood in front of the door, blocking most of the light behind the door with her entire face in shadow.
The camera might not be able to capture her expression in the dim environment, but Xie Mi could see it clearly.
Unlike the panic just now, there was a faint curve at the corner of her lips, and that smile seemed to hide countless secrets and calculations.
"Teacher Xie, do you know someone named Mu Yihe?"
Xie Mi asked straightforwardly: "What wooden box?"
“…”
Xu Shuangrong just smiled and said nothing. She stared at Xie Mi for a while before shaking her head gently. "I'm just asking casually. Don't take it too seriously."
…
The grocery shopping team returned soon.
As expected, they were unreliable and bought a large bag of Panpan bread and several packets of biscuits.
Liu Woxing hesitated for a long time before speaking in the most tactful tone possible.
"Since we buy ready-to-eat food, what's the point of making a fire and cleaning the kitchen...?"
Yu Jinche blinked obediently and quickly passed the buck, "It was Emperor Xiao who said that our cooking is awful anyway, so we might as well just buy ready-made food."
Lai Bingxuan really gave up this time.
"Then why did I work so hard to pick these vegetables for most of the day?!"
Xiao Jingxi was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Yu Jinche to directly repeat what he had just said.
"I just think that everyone is tired, so it would be best if we could just eat directly..."
"Hey, I have a suggestion." Xie Mi raised a finger, his eyes wise again, "If they don't buy things according to the list, then we won't give them A money. The money for buying bread and biscuits will be theirs."
Lai Bingxuan, who was just mad, immediately responded, "I think it's okay."
Chen Yuqing raised his eyebrows, "I think it's okay."
Although Liu Woxing felt that this was somewhat unethical, he still wanted to do it. "After all, they bought the wrong thing first, so I think... it's reasonable."
"That's settled then!" Qiu Chengye said, "We won't charge you any more money, just go and eat by yourselves."
Capitalist Xie Mi spoke again, "Hey, I only said I don't want money, I didn't say I don't want to eat."
Lai Bingxuan continued: "Then I want to eat too."
Chen Yuqing: "I'll eat too."
Liu Woxing: "Um... is it okay?"
Qiu Chengye: "Why not? They bought the wrong one first!"
[Capitalists, you will all shed tears after reading this]
[It’s so funny, pure exploitation]
Xiao Jingxi, who had used all his money to buy Panpan bread, was so angry that he refused to compromise no matter what. In the end, he took all the bread and ate it silently. It was his last bit of dignity.
Yu Jinche smiled and handed the biscuits to Xie Mi.
"Sister, if I buy you some cookies, would you like to go for a walk with me later?"
Xie Mi turned around and went into the kitchen without looking back.
"Don't let unreliable people buy groceries next time."
Qiu Chengye cursed angrily, automatically judging himself and Liu Woxing to be in the same camp, "Liu Woxing, you have made a list, so you should go by yourself. Forget it, I will go with you tonight."
Liu Woxing didn't give him any face at all.
"If that's the case, I think there are many people who are more reliable than Mr. Qiu. After all, if it weren't for you, I would have finished cleaning the kitchen a long time ago."
Qiu Chengye’s talent—he always stands in the most troublesome place when others are working.
Qiu Chengye was speechless and could only follow Liu Woxing into the kitchen with a lot of anger.
[Why is Brother Mimi so quiet today? Sister Liu confronted him several times but he didn’t refute]
[That's right. Normally, I'd be so angry that I'd jump up and down. What happened today? ]
[I know it’s a bit inappropriate for me to say this, but don’t you think… Brother Mimi is like a good dog around Sister Liu today? ]
[Yes! He didn't refute anything Sister Liu said! He followed Sister Liu all the time! He didn't complain about cleaning the kitchen, even though he didn't help much.]
[I think Mimi is in love. Although I have had this tendency before, this time is different.]
[I second the motion! This time it is really different! ]
Not only did the barrage notice that something was wrong with Qiu Chengye, but soon everyone noticed it.
Due to limited conditions, they ended up gathering around a big stove and stewing a large pot of dark green leafy vegetables.
The specific method is to boil a pot of water first, then wash the picked vegetables and throw them all in no matter what they are.
Then start adding various seasonings, especially the soy sauce that you accidentally added because your hands were shaking.
You know what, even though it looks like a pot of boiled shit, it smells really bad too.
"This is all we have now. Let's just make do with what we have. After we finish eating, we can go check out the surrounding area in the afternoon. I heard from the program crew that this family has a small farm not far behind. Maybe we can get some food there."
Faced with this pot of unknown thick substance, Liu Woxing frowned slightly and tried to stay calm.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Chengye, who was usually very picky, was the first to scoop up a bowl and took a big sip.
After drinking it, before he could even utter a word "fuck", his head tilted and his eyes rolled over and he fell over.
"Shit..."
"poisonous."
