Chapter 35 Teasing
“This is our home from now on.”
Ji Zheng pointed at the shabby but clean thatched house in front of him and sighed.
"Yeah!" Ji Hean nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling with hope for the future.
The two of them don't have much furniture, so they have to go to town to buy something tomorrow.
You need to buy quilts, mattresses, and tables.
"Do you know the idiom 'a house with nothing but four walls'?" Looking at the empty house, Ji Zheng couldn't help but joke with Ji Hean.
Unfortunately, Ji Hean had never been to school and didn't understand his cold joke.
"I don't understand." Ji Hean shook his head honestly.
"It means that the house is so poor that only four walls are left." Ji Zheng explained patiently.
At the same time, another idea came to my mind. When I made enough money, I would send Ji Hean to school. I didn't expect him to learn much, but at least he had to be able to read.
After hearing the explanation, Ji Hean immediately understood the self-mockery in Ji Zheng's words.
Ji Hean smiled, "As long as I'm with Alang, I'd be happy even if I had to sleep outdoors, let alone live in poverty."
The sudden confession is like a warm current flowing from the heart to every organ of the body, bringing warmth wherever it passes.
She pinched Ji Hean's cheek and said, "It turns out that Hean likes me so much." There was a hint of teasing in her eyes.
Before Ji Hean could shyly lower his head, Ji Zheng held his jaw and said, "Since Hean likes me so much, I have to work harder to earn money and buy a bigger house for my Hean."
After saying that, he smiled and kissed her.
The sudden kiss made Ji Hean a little stunned. His eyes widened and he stared blankly. Ji Zheng looked at him with the rest of his eyes, smiled in his heart, and covered his eyes with his hands.
With her eyes covered, her other senses became more sensitive. She could clearly feel how Ji Zheng's tongue pried open her teeth, broke in ferociously, and acted domineeringly as if no one was around.
After the kiss, one of the parties had a satisfied expression on his face, while the other party had a flushed face and was breathing heavily.
"Why don't you breathe after such a long time, my He'an?" Ji Zheng gently stroked Ji He'an's back with his big hands to help him breathe.
Hearing this, Ji Hean couldn't breathe. He looked up and glared at him, complaining: "Every time you act like you want to eat me up, I never get a chance to breathe."
Originally, those were words of complaint and anger, but his face was red and his voice was a little breathless, which sounded like coquettishness to Ji Zheng's ears, making him want to do it again.
Although the two of them have not spent a long time together, Ji Hean is particularly sensitive to certain aspects of Ji Zheng, such as Ji Zheng's deep expression now.
He couldn't stand it again, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where did you borrow those tools outside?"
Ji Zheng felt helpless at the way Ji Hean abruptly changed the subject. It was just a kiss and nothing special, so why did he act like he was trying to avoid it?
Although I was angry and helpless, I still answered, "I borrowed it from the store in front of us."
The one in front? Ji Hean walked out and stretched his neck to take a look. His eyes lit up. Isn't that Xiaohua's house?
It had been a long time since he last saw Xiaohua. "When are you going to return it?"
He wanted to take this opportunity to meet Xiaohua.
"Could his family be the Xiaohua family you mentioned?" Ji Zheng followed up and asked.
Ji Hean nodded, "Xiaohua is a very nice person, and her husband Alang treats her very well."
Ji Zheng clicked his tongue and said, "You mean I'm not nice to you?"
"No! I just...I..." Ji Hean was a little incoherent, he really didn't mean that.
Ji Zheng naturally knew that Ji Hean didn't mean that. He just wanted to bully Ji Hean.
"Don't say anymore, I understand." Ji Zheng pretended to be lost and looked so pitiful.
This made Ji Hean feel guilty and helpless.
"I really didn't mean it like that, it just came out of my mouth."
Ji Zheng tilted his head and made a look that said, "I don't want to listen and I'm very sad."
"Don't be like this, I really don't mean..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sound outside the yard.
"He'an! Are you home?" It was Xiaohua's voice.
The two were stunned. Thinking that Ji Zheng was still sad, Ji Hean gritted his teeth and took the initiative to kiss Ji Zheng, begging in a low voice, "You are the best."
After saying that, he hurriedly responded to Xiaohua's call outside the door and walked towards the door.
The corners of his mouth still had the residual warmth of Ji Hean's kiss just now. Ji Hean's soft and low words of pleading still seemed to linger in his ears, and he couldn't help but smile.
His Ji and An are really stupid. He needs to keep a close eye on them, otherwise they might be sold out with their IQs without even knowing it.
The visitor was Ji Hean's friend, a girl, so Ji Zheng did not go forward to greet her. Instead, he turned around and went to the back with a hammer, as there were many other things waiting for him to repair.
"Xiaohua, why are you here?" Seeing my friend, all the messy emotions just now were thrown behind me, and now only happiness remained.
Xiaohua smiled back, "I came to see you."
She didn't mention the Ji family's affairs.
The two talked as they walked, "I'm sorry, Xiaohua, we just moved here today, so we don't have anything to treat you at home." Ji Hean was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Hua giggled and patted Ji Hean on the shoulder, "Hey, I guessed that you guys just moved in today and you must have nothing, so I came to bring you something!"
As he spoke, he raised the basket in his hand and said, "You probably haven't found dinner tonight yet, so I brought you some food so you can have dinner with me tonight."
It's not that she didn't want to invite Ji He'an and Ji Zheng to her home for dinner, but her husband A Lang had gone to town and would be back very late, and she was alone at home. If she invited them to her home for dinner without permission, it would be bad if the villagers saw them.
The basket is filled with scallion pancakes. Looking at the greasy appearance, I think Xiaohua put a lot of oil in them.
This is too expensive. Ji Hean doesn't want to accept it, and he is embarrassed to accept it.
Seeing the rejection on Ji Hean's face, Xiaohua said quickly: "Don't refuse. If you refuse, I will no longer recognize you as my friend."
The words of rejection died in the blink of an eye. Ji Hean looked a little embarrassed, "Xiaohua..."
Xiaohua put the basket on the table and said, "Oh, you're acting like this. Just think of me when you have something delicious to eat in the future."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched the flesh on Ji Hean's face, "It seems that you have gained weight recently, and your skin has become whiter."
"Really?" Ji Hean touched his face subconsciously.
"Yes, it seems your husband has taken good care of you."
Ji Hean's ears felt a little hot when hearing Xiaohua's teasing tone, but he still fought back: "Your father has taken good care of you. You are much prettier than when you first came last year."
I thought Xiaohua would be shy, but she admitted it directly and generously, "Yes, he is my Ah Lang, so of course he should be nice to me."
Ji Hean: “….”
Seeing Ji Hean being speechless, Xiaohua burst into laughter again, "Hean, you are so cute!"
Ji Hean looked at Xiaohua laughing so ungracefully that he couldn't help laughing too.
He was not a silent person to begin with, and could even be considered lively, but the environment did not allow it before.
The two men were fighting so loudly that even Ji Zheng, who was repairing the windows in the back, heard it.
Thinking of Ji Hean's happy face, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upwards, and his hands moved more quickly.
Xiao Hua suppressed her smile and asked, "By the way, where is your A-Lang? Why didn't I see him?"
When Ji Zheng was mentioned, Ji Hean thought of what had just happened. A hint of worry flashed across his eyes, and he didn't know if Ji Zheng was still angry.
"He should be repairing the windows at the back." Ji Hean put away his thoughts and answered.
Xiaohua nodded, indicating that she understood.
The two began to talk about other issues, but Ji Hean was a little absent-minded. Ji Zheng's aggrieved look always appeared in his mind.
After chatting for a while, Xiaohua naturally noticed it and tactfully suggested leaving.
Ji Hean didn't try to persuade him to stay. Firstly, his house didn't have much to offer as a treat, and secondly, he was still thinking about Ji Zheng.
After Xiaohua left, he went to the kitchen first to put the cakes away, and then followed where Ji Zheng worked.
"She's gone?" Ji Zheng's hands kept moving.
Ji Hean nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked directly: "Are you still angry?"
Hearing this, Ji Zheng was confused for a moment. He turned around and looked at the cautious look on Ji Hean's face, and immediately realized that this man was trying to coax him.
It turned out that he held such an important position in Ji and Anxin's heart. He was a little excited, but he didn't show it on his face.
"If you kiss me I won't be angry anymore."
As he said this, he turned his face towards Ji Hean, as if waiting to be kissed.
It was broad daylight, and they were still outside. Ji Hean's cheeks were flushed and her eyelashes drooped slightly, covering her eyes.
Seeing that no one had moved, Ji Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if he had gone too far. After all, his family member Ji Hean was an ancient man with traditional ideas.
He asked people to do it in broad daylight and in public...
The softness on his cheek interrupted his thoughts. It was a very light and quick touch. Ji Zheng turned around quickly, but only saw a figure running away in panic.
A smile appeared on the corners of his mouth again, and his heart seemed to be gently pinched twice.
When Ji Zheng thought about how Ji He'an was obviously very shy, but was afraid of getting angry so she suppressed her shyness and kissed him, he felt his heart melt. Is this the feeling of being cared for and loved?
Recalling the tenderness just now, Ji Zheng suddenly felt itchy and wanted to catch the person back and kiss her hard.
....
On the second day, Ji Zheng wanted to go to the town to buy some things, but he found yesterday that many things here could still be used for repairs, and Ji Hean's condition was still unstable, so he gave up the idea of going to the town.
As for food, it is very simple. You can just take money and exchange it with the villagers, and you can basically get it.
After staying at home for several days, he always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what it was.
This feeling continued until he went to town to buy something and saw Xiangxianglou, which reminded him of what he had forgotten.
He forgot the job he had found with great difficulty!!
That day he made an appointment with the boss of Xiangxianglou to go to work the next day, but some things that happened later were too complicated, so he forgot about it.
This was a job he had found with great difficulty. Ji Zheng was really speechless about his own memory.
I don’t know if the shopkeeper is willing to give me another chance. After all, he is still very satisfied with this job.
The working hours are short and the salary is high, so the cost-effectiveness is very high.
Ji Zheng hesitated for a while, but finally decided to go and take a look. He thought that the shopkeeper was very satisfied with the book he mentioned that day, and maybe he would give him another chance.
Thinking of this, Ji Zheng strode towards Xiangxianglou.
Gu Lulu was still the one welcoming guests at the door. When she saw Ji Zheng, she ran up to him and greeted him enthusiastically, "Ah, you're finally here. I haven't seen you for a while!"
"Something happened suddenly at home." Ji Zheng explained with a smile, "By the way, is your shopkeeper here?"
Speaking of the shopkeeper, Gu Lulu clapped his hands, "By the way, our shopkeeper said that if you come, go to the second floor to find him."
After hearing what Gu Lulu said, Ji Zheng was delighted, thinking that there was still hope for this job.
After talking to Gu Lulu for a few more words, Ji Zheng went upstairs to find the shopkeeper.
"You're finally here. Didn't you agree that you would come to work the next day?"
The shopkeeper was quite resentful about Ji Zheng's failure to keep his promise. If it were someone else, he would definitely not give him a second chance.
But Ji Zheng happened to be a capable man. Based on the story he told that day, the shopkeeper was thinking about the follow-up content every day.
Unfortunately, Ji Zheng's contact information was not left that day, only his name was known, so he couldn't find him even if he wanted to.
I could only hope that he would come again day by day, and sometimes I would wonder in my heart whether Ji Zheng didn't come because he thought the salary he paid was too little.
What if Ji Zheng went to his rival's house, wouldn't he... Thinking of this, the shopkeeper became extremely anxious and even had blisters on his mouth.
Fortunately, Ji Zheng finally came.
Hearing the complaint in the shopkeeper's tone, Ji Zheng felt a little embarrassed. "I'm very sorry. Something important happened at home, so I didn't come here. Please forgive me, shopkeeper."
These words were spoken with great sincerity, and the shopkeeper's complaints disappeared.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Zheng is a person who can bring him huge benefits. In front of benefits, nothing else is worth mentioning.
"Forget it, let's just let it go." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Since you're here, let's go through the necessary procedures."
The procedure the shopkeeper was talking about was the work contract. Xiangxiang Teahouse was the largest teahouse in the town. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, employees working there had to sign a labor contract.
Ji Zheng didn't plan to sign the contract. After all, he didn't want to keep telling stories here.
Storytelling is just a small way for him to make a lot of money.
"Shopkeeper, can we not sign this contract?"
"Why not sign it?" In fact, it is better for merchants not to sign the contract. After all, the content of the contract is to protect employees, and it can only be said to be harmful to them.
