Chapter 186 Gifts from Each Other
The two men entered the yard, all the windows were open, and there were a few green coconuts in the bamboo basket on the table.
Xie Yi took his lunch box to the cafeteria to get food, and Lin Xiaotong put the food in the inner room first.
There was a cool mat on the bed, and the thin quilt was neatly folded into tofu blocks.
The room was bright and spacious. I sat on a chair at the door, closed my eyes and felt the breeze. It was very comfortable.
"Come, it's time to eat."
Xie Yi came over with a lunch box. He had asked for leave from the company commander this morning and would continue training in the afternoon.
"Here it is, wow, there's also mung bean soup."
When the lunch box was opened, the aroma filled the air.
Inside was braised fish fillet, cold kelp shreds, steamed egg, brown rice, and a can of mung bean soup.
"Eat quickly. After you finish eating, rest in your room for a while. I still have training in the afternoon."
Xie Yi picked up a piece of fish.
"Well, are we going to the cafeteria to eat tonight, or should we go get food?"
"It's hot now, and the cafeteria gets really stuffy when it's crowded. We usually eat after getting our meals."
"By the way, should we invite Xiongchuan over for dinner?"
I scooped a spoonful of steamed egg into my mouth and could taste the dried shrimp mixed in it.
"No, he's been in a bad mood lately."
"What's wrong?"
"He's heartbroken."
It’s better not to let him come here and get upset. Xie Yi felt that he was a really good person, hehe.
"By the way, our mom went to work at your place?"
"Yes, Mom also learned to ride a bicycle..."
Time passed quickly while we ate and chatted.
In the afternoon, Xie Yi went to training first. Lin Xiaotong ate a full meal, took a light nap, and came out stretched.
The sun is scorching outside and there is not much to do here.
I remembered the things in my backpack, ran to the room, and took out the gifts.
It was a watch that she bought with her salary. The style of the watch was quite simple and elegant.
The first time I saw it, I thought it was very suitable for Xie Yi, so I saved up three months' salary to buy it.
There is also a red rope, and she is now wearing one on her right hand.
I looked around the house but couldn't find a suitable place, so I decided to wait until Xie Yi came back in the evening to give it to him.
…
When Xie Yi finished training, he went back to the dormitory first and happened to run into Xiong Chuan who came back to get a towel to take a shower.
"Xie Yi, why are you so anxious today?"
"Are you stupid? My wife is coming."
As he said this, he found a box in the cabinet, held it in his arms like a treasure, wiped the non-existent dust off it with his sleeve, and gave a perverted smile.
"Should I leave the door open for you tonight?"
When Xiongchuan saw the man's appearance, his teeth ached.
He takes out the box and wipes it every day. It is cleaner than his face.
As Xie Yi walked to the door, he gave him a look that indicated he would figure it out, and then left.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Xiongchuan and the others left. Thinking about having to stay alone in the empty room tonight, the pain of losing love surged into my heart again.
"Woo woo woo, I want a wife too."
He had finally mustered up the courage to express his feelings to Dr. Chi, but he didn't expect that she would look down on him for being young and reject him outright.
…
Xie Yi came over and found that there was no one in the yard. He sneaked into the room and put the box away. When he came out, Lin Xiaotong had just returned from the cafeteria after getting food.
"Come over for dinner?"
"Here I come."
Meal for two, simple.
After dinner, Xie Yi boiled water for a bath, while Lin Xiaotong packed her clothes in the room.
The pajamas I brought this time were simple short-sleeved nightgowns made of white cotton. The neckline was a bit large and the length reached a little above the calves.
Someone outside was running a bath for himself. Listening to the sound of the water, my face turned red and I felt a little embarrassed.
"The water is ready, you can wash first, and I'll wash your clothes later."
Xie Yi came in and spoke seriously. His eyes accidentally caught sight of the small clothes in her hand. He coughed a few times and went out with his hands and feet together.
She could clearly see that the man's ears were red.
I chuckled a few times and quickly went to wash up. The water temperature was just right, so I washed my hair. Finally, I took a comfortable bath to wash away the fatigue of the day.
She wrung out the ends of her hair with a towel, changed into her nightgown and went out. Her little face was warmed by the heat and her skin was a faint pink.
Xie Yi came over to wipe his wife's hair, very carefully, not daring to use too much force for fear of pulling her hair.
One is standing and the other is sitting, and if you are not careful you will see the leaked spring scenery.
Lin Xiaotong finally felt that she was about to fall asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Yi wearing a white vest and shorts.
This person's hair had been washed and was still dripping with water, but his eyes were very clear.
Both of them smelled of the same soap, and when they got close enough, they were almost dizzy from the fragrance.
She received Xie Yi's look and said, "Do you want me to wipe it for you?"
"Thank you, wife."
Xie Yi sat down without hesitation, his head wrapped in a towel, gently and softly.
As he was wiping, a strand of hair accidentally touched his eyes. When he turned around, he found that the people under the light were all looking at him.
He couldn't help but hold her hand, stood up, and the towel fell to the ground.
The two of them gradually got closer, so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats, thump thump.
As she stood, her body softened, and Xie Yi fell onto the bed, protecting his head.
In a daze, the gift had not yet been given, and he pushed his furry head.
"I brought you a gift, but you haven't taken it yet."
While Xie Yi was taking a shower, she put it in the pocket of the clothes he would wear tomorrow.
I had been thinking of leading him to look for it, but now there is no chance.
"It'll be the same if I take it tomorrow."
It was dark outside the window, and the waves were coming in waves, sometimes pushing to the shore and sometimes pushing away.
Sinking with the waves.
…
The next morning, Lin Xiaotong missed breakfast. When she woke up, it was already noon and she was the only one in the room.
He looked down and saw the red mark on his collar, and he picked up his clothes to cover it like a guilty thief.
I tilted my head and noticed a box on the bedside table. I reached out to take it. It felt heavy in my hand.
Sitting on the bed, he opened it and exclaimed in surprise.
There was actually a camera inside, which must be the gift from Xie Yi.
It is a Seagull 203 folding 120 camera, a top-notch brand.
This was the mission bonus that Xie Yi had saved for a long time, and it cost him eighty-six yuan and seventy cents.
Cameras are a hot commodity these days. Most people can’t buy them, and they are reluctant to buy them.
Fortunately, the goods were available on the day he went there, and he spent all the money he had.
I went there with Xiongchuan that day, and after buying the camera, we had no money left to buy film.
I borrowed money from Xiongchuan. There were a lot of Shantou full-color black-and-white films on the counter, one yuan and one and a half and two cents each, so I bought three first.
He still remembered the envious look in her eyes when she looked at the camera when their family went to the photo studio to take family photos during the Chinese New Year. He secretly remembered it in his heart at that time.
Lin Xiaotong gently touched the leather cover of the camera with her hand. Her chest felt swollen, her eyes were sore, and she felt like crying.
…
Xie Yi has been rolling up his sleeves today and walking around in front of Xiong Chuan.
"What's wrong with you today? Brother, you're blocking my light."
Xiong Chuan looked at the man and saw that he looked very energetic today. He glanced at his wrist and curled his lips.
"When did you get a red string on your hand?"
"Why did you just see it? I told you this was written by my wife, specially for me."
"Look how well it's woven, and it's the perfect size for me."
Xie Yi was still talking and talking, and Xiong Chuan felt so jealous that his stomach hurt.
"What are you two talking about here? Go train."
