Chapter 201
When they met the next morning, I didn't know if they were really a little embarrassed or if they were just feeling guilty about each other.
During the day, everyone went to the printing shop to help out, so no one could take care of each other. This week, she was the one who cooked, and she had to go home an hour early to cook.
Everyone came back to eat at six o'clock. Their lives were relatively hard, but today, in addition to the usual dishes, there was an extra dish of steamed sea bass and a dish of bitter melon scrambled eggs.
You Yuankai said, "We don't have much money to live on, so we shouldn't be so extravagant."
Wang Jiazhi smiled and said, "I suddenly wanted to eat fish and bitter melon, so I bought them with my own money. I didn't use any public funds."
Lao You was about to speak, but she smiled and said in the same tone as him, "Don't worry, I've also deducted the cooking water and gas bills from the company account. You can check the account at the end of the month."
He laughed and said, "Stop joking around, you two. You're being so petty. You paid for the extra dishes for everyone, so why should you pay for the cooking yourself?"
Lao You laughed and said, "I don't know who added to the bill. None of us has to pay her back for the meal, but someone should."
He picked up some food for Lao You and said with a smile, "Eat."
"Why are you giving me some green onions and ginger?"
"Why should a grown man be picky about food? It's good for the body and can help relieve heat."
After saying that, everyone laughed.
Their seating arrangement for dinner was three boys on one side and three girls on the other.
They had noticed the signs early on, so the others deliberately avoided sitting in the leftmost seat, and then the two of them sat facing each other.
She looked up and glanced at him, and found that he was also looking at her. In the instant their eyes flashed, they immediately avoided each other's gaze and ate as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Xu said: "Why are you still peeking?"
He turned his head and gently raised his fist towards Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu put his fingers on his mouth, made a zipper motion, and lowered his head to eat.
He wondered how she knew he liked bitter melon and sea bass. When had he told her that?
In the evening, he went to help her wash the dishes. There were only the two of them in the kitchen. He said, "Where do you get that kind of money? Keep it and buy something for yourself."
She smiled and said, "I still have some money, and I'm not buying anything, so it's okay."
She suddenly thought, wouldn't he mind me not dressing up enough? It's true, his taste later on was all about those gorgeous ladies. But he didn't say he didn't like her plain clothes.
She was originally wiping the dishes. He saw her holding the dishes in one hand and the rag in the other, distracted.
"Are you too tired? Go back and rest, I'll do it."
She came back to her senses and said, "Do you think I should dress up? Don't I look tacky like this?"
"No, it's so beautiful to be like a lotus in clear water. When girls put on makeup, it's like putting on pounds of powder, covering up their true charm."
She thought to herself, "When you get older, you'll like to find someone who wears heavy makeup and looks bright."
The next day he went back and planned to wash the pile of dirty clothes. He had been very busy and tired recently, but if he didn't wash them, he would really have no clean clothes.
He found that the dirty clothes were gone and a pile of washed clothes was neatly folded next to the pillow.
He went to the attic and knocked gently on the door. Seeing her writing at her desk, he said, "Um..."
Before she knew how to start, she turned around and said with a smile, "I washed your clothes."
"Isn't the iron broken?"
"I folded the half-dried shirt and put it under my pillow. There are fewer wrinkles, aren't there?"
"Don't wash my clothes like this anymore. You're tired too."
"It's okay, I want to wash you~"
She was standing at the door at this time, with her head down, fiddling with the corner of her clothes.
"Did you see that the Snail Girl came into the room?"
"yes."
Everyone was used to it. These two cooked together, cleaned the house together, did laundry together, and worked together. Besides the fact that one lived in the attic and the other in the dark room, their relationship was no different from theirs.
