Sheng An Ning was choked by the thick smoke and her eyes were filled with tears. When she heard the door open and turned around, she saw a tall and straight figure appear at the door, but she couldn't see his face clearly because of the backlight.
However, we also know from the original owner's memory that this is the original owner's husband Zhou Shixun.
He showed up so suddenly that she hadn't figured out how to greet him.
Zhou Shixun had already walked in quickly, put down his lunch box, quickly went over to open the door and window, then went over to check the stove. The black coal blocks had already extinguished the flaming branches.
Knowing that Sheng An Ning would not pay attention to him and would not take the initiative to talk to him, he silently picked up the tongs and started to light the fire again.
Sheng An Ning stood up awkwardly and stepped aside. The smoke in the room dissipated, the light became brighter, and she could see the man in front of her clearly.
His eyebrows are cold and elegant, his nose is straight, and his lips are flat, which shows a sense of seriousness and uprightness.
The skin is a very healthy wheat color.
Sheng Anning, who has always been picky, feels that Zhou Shixun's appearance and temperament are in line with her aesthetic taste. However, she is not in the mood to have a time-traveling love affair in this era, but is thinking about how to improve her relationship with this man.
After all, if she wants to survive in this era that she knows nothing about, she still needs the help of this man.
While he was stunned, Zhou Shixun lit the fire again. Flames could be seen faintly in the furnace. He then stood up and looked at Sheng Anning who had been standing next to him.
Feeling a little surprised, Sheng An Ning did not slam the door and go back to the room after he came back. Seeing that her usually beautiful and fair face was covered with cigarette ash, she turned around and washed her hands in the washbasin rack at the door, then came back with a new basin of water and poured the hot water from the thermos.
Then he turned his head and looked at Sheng An Ning calmly: "Do you want to wash?"
Sheng An Ning was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes lit up as if she was flattered. She nodded repeatedly: "Okay, thank you."
After all, the original owner treated him so well and even poured her water for washing her face. This was an extraordinary demeanor.
Sheng An Ning smiled brightly at Zhou Shixun with bright eyes, and hurried over to wash her hands and face.
Zhou Shixun looked at Sheng An Ning calmly for a few times. She actually said thank you to him and smiled at him. It was the first time in history. I just don't know what she was thinking.
He went over to the stove to warm up the lunch box he had brought back from the company cafeteria, then rolled up his sleeves and went to get a cabbage.
When Sheng An Ning washed her hands and looked up, she saw a small round mirror hanging on the wall in front of the washbasin rack. Her face covered in soot was reflected in it. No wonder Zhou Shixun asked her to wash her face. She did look a little embarrassed.
She quickly washed her face with water, and then looked at the fair and beautiful face in the mirror. She didn't expect that the original owner actually looked somewhat like her. However, she was almost thirty years old, and with the fast-paced life she led, she was thinner than the original owner, and her skin was not as translucent and shiny as the original owner.
It’s just that the original owner might often lose his temper, and his frown hid a sense of hostility, making the whole person become a little erratic.
He reached out and stroked his brow, thinking that it’s not good to get angry and lose your temper often.
Sheng An Ning washed her face and saw two towels hanging on the washbasin rack, one army green and one white. She guessed that the white one should belong to the original owner, so she used it to wipe her face.
Turning around, I saw Zhou Shixun cutting cabbage. The sleeves of his army green velvet jacket were rolled up at his forearms, revealing a strong arm with smooth lines and full of strength.
The cutting action was skillful and quick, and the cabbage shreds were cut very evenly.
Sheng An Ning sighed inwardly, it turns out that good-looking people look good in anything they do.
However, due to the relationship between the original owner and the man, she didn't know how to start a conversation. She stood with her hands behind her back for a while before moving over: "Um... do you need my help?"
Zhou Shixun paused for a moment, then looked up at Sheng Anning: "What you said yesterday is impossible."
Sheng An Ning was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the reason why the original owner quarreled with Zhou Shixun last night was that she wanted to go back to the city to work, because Zhou Shixun's unit would arrange jobs for his family members every year.
The number of places to work in the city is even more limited. She heard that there are two places to return to the city this year, one is to work as a nurse in the Municipal People's Hospital, and the other is to work as a teacher in the Municipal Red Star Kindergarten.
These are arranged based on ability and qualifications, as well as the degree of family difficulty.
No matter how you look at it, it's not the original owner's turn. What's more, the original owner's mind is not on work at all, but on going back to the city to see her ex-boyfriend.
So I told Zhou Shixun that I wanted the job of kindergarten teacher.
Zhou Shixun rejected her calmly, and then the original owner started making a big fuss and throwing things at home.
Sheng An Ning felt a little annoyed when she thought about it. What was going on? How could she still have a lover in the city after getting married?
Seeing Zhou Shixun's cold expression, he quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I know I'm not qualified for the job, so just give it to someone who needs it. I just want to help you cook."
Zhou Shixun glanced at her and said, "No need."
Sheng Anning stood aside and watched Zhou Shixun cook. When he was frying the last dish, Zhou Shixun saw that the oil in the oil tank was gone. He just frowned, went to the cupboard to take out a can of lard, scooped out a piece and put it in the pot.
The onions, ginger, garlic and dried red peppers are stir-fried in a pan, and the aroma instantly explodes in the air and goes straight into your nose.
Sheng An Ning felt that she must be too hungry, and she was swallowing hard while looking at a pot of ordinary stir-fried cabbage.
Lunch was simple. Zhou Shixun brought back a portion of braised pork from the cafeteria. It had more fat and less lean meat, and the color was pale and it didn't look very tasty. Then there was stir-fried cabbage, and the staple food was hot coarse grain steamed buns.
Sheng Anning watched Zhou Shixun heating up the steamed buns, and actively cleaned the table, put the stools in place, and went to get the chopsticks.
Zhou Shixun looked at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table in surprise. Sheng Anning was too abnormal today. After all, usually when he breathed in front of her, she would feel that the air was becoming dirty and turned into the stench of country people.
After silently arranging the steamed buns and dishes, Sheng An Ning had already sat down opposite him consciously, staring at the coarse grain steamed buns on the table: "They look so fragrant, you are really amazing."
Zhou Shixun's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed that Sheng An Ning's change might be because she wanted to change her strategy to achieve her desired goal.
Still without saying a word, he sat down opposite Sheng An Ning, picked up the steamed bun and started eating it.
Sheng An Ning didn't think she was asking for trouble. Judging from the original owner's efforts, the man opposite must be on guard at this moment, wondering what tricks she was playing.
I took a bite of the steamed bun silently. Looking at the golden bun, it was dry and hard in my mouth, and it was a bit irritating to my throat when I swallowed it.
It was nothing like the soft and sweet cornmeal steamed bread she had eaten in the restaurant.
He stretched his neck to swallow it, then quickly picked up the bowl and drank two sips of water.
Zhou Shixun glanced at Sheng An Ning, lowered his eyelids and continued eating.
As the two of them were eating in silence, a woman called out from outside the door, "Captain Zhou, are you home?"
The voice was a little anxious and even had a crying tone.
