Chapter 249 How eerie!



Xu Xiangyang sighed. Although the environment was terrible, he had his own space!

A must-have for home and travel!

Looking back at this gloomy, dilapidated room, it's not so unacceptable, is it?

He opened the back window and the front door to allow air circulation and prevent the room from getting moldy again.

With the window open, Xu Xiangyang no longer stayed there.

He went downstairs to Cao Yajun's room and, seeing the obvious difference, almost slammed the door shut.

"Holy crap, this is like heaven and earth!" He looked at the scene before him and really didn't know what to say.

Cao Yajun looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

The condition of this house is just average, isn't it?

Xu Xiangyang shrugged. "You'll know once you've seen my room."

Look at this house. The walls may not be painted well, but at least there are no abstract paintings.

The bunk beds in the room all had the same 1.5-meter iron frames; apart from the different environment, everything else was the same.

A desk and a chair, that's the standard setup?

Cao Yajun didn't ask any more questions, and turned to pack his luggage. "Sigh, why did I bring so much stuff? How can this suitcase hold it all?"

He looked at the clothes in front of him and realized that if he were to carry them all, he would probably need two boxes to fit them all.

But Shen Fangjun packed the clothes from two boxes into one box. That's amazing!

My wife is indeed a good homemaker!

Seeing his lewd expression, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but click his tongue, "Look at you, even tidying your clothes can make you have all sorts of wild thoughts, that's all you've got."

Sure enough, being in love makes you stupid.

Cao Yajun said with a dark face, "Why aren't you cleaning your own room? What are you doing here? Get back home right now!"

See, he's gotten so angry and embarrassed!

Xu Xiangyang shook his head, sighed helplessly, and left.

They act like they want to stay here, how pathetic.

He couldn't help but feel that Cao Yajun had become a completely different person since she fell in love.

He used to seem insincere, but now he smiles from time to time.

That's terrifying.

After he got back, he put everything in the box into his spatial storage. Clothes would get moldy if left out, so he decided not to take them out.

Although the weather was a bit warmer in April, spring had not yet fully arrived.

He closed the window and went downstairs to get some firewood.

After the stove was lit, the room became a little warmer.

It's not for warmth, the space is much warmer now. I just want to prevent the house from getting moldy, otherwise mushrooms will grow in the spring.

Therefore, it's best to use everything that's available.

Besides, even if you don't live here, seeing such a messy environment is still upsetting!

By the time everything was tidied up, it was almost noon.

It was quite lively outside. A thin, small man who lived next door came over and glanced at the house.

"Secretary Xu, lunch is served. Aren't you going to eat?" He was carrying a bowl of food, and his clothes were patched.

Xu Xiangyang was taken aback by his attire. Most of the people here were cadres, and their average monthly salary was at least twenty yuan. How could he be wearing patched clothes?

After all, when you're working, your appearance is a matter of face; if you're not dressed well, people will stare at you.

"I'll go right away," he replied, then took his lunchbox and followed.

If the food isn't very good, he'll send it back, put it in his spatial storage, and cook it for himself later.

It's not that he's used to eating well and is being pretentious; it's just that he has the means, so why not eat something good?

He wouldn't waste the food he brought back; he would divide it up and give it to Qian Wenqing to take back so he could eat it.

Qian Wenqing: ? ? ?

"What's your name? Which department are you from?" Xu Xiangyang turned to look at the young man next to him.

This person is not tall, probably around 1.67 meters, and looks very thin.

"My name is Zhang Lianhe, and I work in the accounting department." He didn't look at people when he spoke, which clearly showed that he had some inferiority complex.

Xu Xiangyang nodded. "You know me?"

He just called me "Secretary Xu", so we know each other. Otherwise, why would I know his surname and why would I call him "Secretary"?

Zhang Lianhe said with a smile, "I was standing behind you and Secretary Cao when we came, but you didn't notice me."

He scratched his head sheepishly, feeling like he was completely forgotten.

Xu Xiangyang was also quite surprised, because he really had never noticed this person before.

Think back, was there really someone standing behind him before?

Holy crap!

This feels so weird!

With this eerie building around him, Xu Xiangyang felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh my god, I want to go home so badly! Mom! I want to go home!

When Zhang Lianhe heard that he was silent, he didn't say anything either, and the two of them walked to the cafeteria.

It's called a canteen, but inside there are just a few large tables and long benches. At the very front are two long tables with food on them.

This big basin really gives off a feeling of cooking in a large pot.

Xu Xiangyang waited in line for ten minutes, but the people in front of him were faster at getting their food.

"Just some cabbage slices will do! And a steamed bun." He glanced at the dishes in front of him; they were either cabbage slices, potato slices, or a radish soup.

Is this how you prepare the food on the very first day?

After getting his food, he found a place to sit down, mainly because there were too many people and there was nowhere to sit.

"Damn it, hey? Dude, stop pushing, I'm getting out." He really couldn't stand it anymore; the people next to him were pushing and shoving.

Xu Xiangyang quickly brought out his lunchbox. "We already have dorm rooms, why do we have to squeeze in here?"

But when he looked back, he seemed to understand; they were all just trying to get another serving.

If we go back and come down again, the food will probably be gone by then.

I really don't know how long everyone has been starving? How did you all turn into demons here?

The thought of this sent a chill down Xu Xiangyang's spine, and he quickly took his lunchbox upstairs.

He returned to the house and passed by Zhang Lianhe's private room, where he saw him sitting and eating.

Goodness, this guy took three big steamed buns made from two kinds of dough. He can really eat!

She eats so much but is still so thin, maybe she doesn't absorb nutrients well?

While pondering, he went back inside, closed the door, and ate.

After airing out the house this morning, the musty smell has dissipated considerably.

There's a smell of firewood in the air now, but it's not very warm.

He closed the door behind him and then locked it from the inside. The "lock" was just a metal plug.

Xu Xiangyang left a crack in the window to prevent poisoning. Burning a fire in a confined space can easily lead to poisoning.

Upon entering the space, he went straight to the dormitory, where various takeout meals were placed.

He took out a plate of braised pork ribs, then picked up the steamed buns made from mixed flour that the cafeteria had given him earlier, and slowly began to eat.

Meat is still the best. I'll put the cabbage slices in a bowl later, and once I've collected a big bowlful, I'll send it to Qian Wenqing.

We mustn't waste food! Wasting food is shameful!

After finishing his meal, Xu Xiangyang went out and opened the window for a while to make sure he no longer smelled before opening the door.
