After dinner, Xu Manman and Xiao Jin sat cross-legged on the thick carpet in front of the sofa. Each of them held half a watermelon and ate it with a spoon. "It's so comfortable. I don't even want to go out."
In this space, you can just open your mouth to get food and you don’t even need to stretch out your hands to get clothes. You can do whatever you want and no one will bother you. Xiao Jin is always by your side.
Because Xiao Jin can change his skin at any time, to round it off, it means he has eight beauties by his side, which is simply a heavenly life.
But apart from the space, meeting Xiao Jin is just like a liaison. You have to pretend not to know him, and you dare not spend money even if you have it. You also have to deal with so many interpersonal relationships. Thinking of this, Xu Manman suddenly became lazy.
Although she had only worked a little hard when she went to the countryside to do farm work, she had lived a comfortable life at other times and had not suffered much hardship in life, but she still felt very tired. As expected, a salted fish is still a salted fish, and lying down without turning over is her fate.
But she could only think like this. Even if Xiao Jin could always accompany her, no matter how much of a homebody she was, she couldn't stand staying in the same place for her whole life without contacting other people. What's more, she had hundreds of years to live, so she had to face reality.
Early the next morning, when Xu Manman came out of the space, Chen Ming and Xu Jianguo had already started working in the yard of the big house.
At first, she saw that the doors of the west wing opposite were all open, but there was no one there. She looked around the yard but couldn't find anyone. She thought they had gone out, and maybe they had come over after hearing some noise in the yard of the main house.
Xu Manman looked at Chen Ming holding the broom, a little confused, "So early? You don't have anything to do today. You just got home yesterday. Why don't you rest a little longer today?"
"I went to bed early yesterday, so I woke up early this morning. I couldn't fall back asleep, so I just got up. I didn't expect to wake Jianguo up too. It's more comfortable to work while it's not too hot. If I finish early, I can take Jianguo out to play sooner."
Xu Jianguo poked his head out of the room with a rag in his hand. "Cousin, I see you're anxious to see your sister-in-law, right?"
Chen Ming choked, "What are you talking about, little brat?"
Xu Jianguo retorted, "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm an adult. If I want to see my sister-in-law, just say so. We're family. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Chen Ming gritted his teeth. This little cousin seemed quite well behaved at home, but why did he become like Chen Feng when he went out? However, he was not as troublesome as Chen Feng, so he couldn't bring himself to hit him.
It was Xu Manman who patted his brother and said, "I know that my cousin is embarrassed, but you still say that. Hurry up and work. If it's still early, I'll take you to visit the Forbidden City."
"Okay, sister!" Xu Jianguo happily took the rag and went back to the house to continue working.
"Cousin, please call Sister Wenjun later. I'm taking Jianguo out this afternoon, so I won't be with you guys."
"Why don't I accompany you guys?" If Xu Manman was at home, he could still go out without worry, but Xu Manman wanted to take Xu Jianguo out with her, so he still couldn't feel at ease.
Jin Zichu hadn't arrived yet, so Xu Manman couldn't just say she had someone to accompany her. She could only say, "Let's wait and see. If the sun is too strong, we can go another day. The Forbidden City is right there anyway, and it won't leave."
Chen Ming didn't say anything.
"Have you had breakfast?" Xu Manman just glanced at the kitchen and saw no signs of anyone having moved.
Sure enough, "Not yet. I thought I'd buy some when you wake up so you can eat them hot."
"Then I'll go buy it and not disturb you from working."
"That's fine." The breakfast shop was right at the entrance of the alley. The security in their area had always been good, and there was no danger in broad daylight, so Chen Ming didn't compete with her for this job.
Nowadays, the materials for take-out food are not so abundant. For breakfast shops like this one at the entrance of the alley, if you want to take-out food, you usually have to bring it yourself. Considering the appetites of Xu Jianguo and Chen Ming, Xu Manman took out a pot, a pair of chopsticks and a net bag.
They queued up to buy five fried dough sticks, 10 braised pork buns and a pot of spicy soup. The fried dough sticks were pierced with chopsticks, the braised pork buns were wrapped in oil paper and placed in a net bag, and the spicy soup was directly poured into the pot. Because their pot was not small, Xu Manman paid extra money, which was considered a portion for four people.
Fortunately, it is close to home, otherwise she really couldn't handle it alone.
When I got home, I took out the plates, cut the fried dough sticks into pieces, put the buns in a bowl, and took out three large bowls to divide the spicy soup in the pot. Then I could start eating.
Xu Manman came to the courtyard of the main house and called out, "Stop working and eat first."
After working for so long, the two boys were already very hungry, so they immediately put down their tools and went back to wash their hands and eat.
