When Ling Ran saw the three clean and tidy rooms, he became more determined to learn how to do housework.
The east room is more than 20 square meters, with a wooden bed, a desk and chair, a large standing cabinet and a chest of drawers.
Although the main room is empty, it feels clean and bright, with the windows and tables spotless.
The west room has a large antique bed, a large standing cabinet, a chest of drawers, and a desk and chair, all of which are also clean.
"Tomorrow morning, let's go to the scrap yard together and buy some furniture that can be placed in the main hall. Then we can see what is suitable and buy what the family needs."
Zuo Heng nodded. "Then you won't be back until tomorrow afternoon?"
"Yes! I'll keep you company. I'll go buy some meat and bones early tomorrow morning."
Zuo Heng was happy, but Ling Ran was depressed.
When Zuo Heng went to the kitchen to get some hot water, Zhou Xiang briefly told him about Zuo Heng.
"He's lonely. The loneliness of not having family is very heartbreaking, so I always come to see him when I come to the county town."
Ling Ran finally remembered who Zuo Heng was. The richest man in his previous life! He was an orphan, and if he hadn't heard about his life story, he really wouldn't have been able to associate him with the richest man.
Does the little girl know this too? That's why she helps him from now on. After tying him up, hehe, he will be the little girl's money-making machine in the future, so she won't be jealous of him anymore.
Moreover, the little girl was so nice to him, she must have been thinking about her later years in her previous life. Thinking of this, Ling Ran's heart ached.
However, I still have to learn from his shining points. My little girl must be lacking warmth after her past life, so I also have to follow the path of a warm man.
Zhou Xiang nudged Ling Ran, who seemed to be lost in thought, and said, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing? I'll go get some water and bring it to you for washing up."
"No, I can do it myself." Zhou Xiang felt that he could not accept the service of the devil.
"It's dark outside and the basin is heavy, you can't lift it. We're going to wash in the kitchen. You'd better wash in the west room!" He rubbed her head again.
Zhou Xiang felt a little flattered. How could it be so unreal that the little devil recognized by the whole town was serving him and bringing him water to wash?
Ling Ran quickly used a clean basin and turned on the hot water. "Zuo Heng said this is a wash basin, new, specially prepared for you."
His tone was still heavy. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went out, bringing a larger basin with hot water in it. "This is the new footbath that Zuo Heng prepared for you."
After saying this, he stood by and looked at Zhou Xiang with a wronged look on his face.
Zhou Xiang was baffled. He was so happy just now, but now he's unhappy after carrying two loads of water. He's so fickle. He didn't even ask him to serve him.
Seeing him act like he was unhappy, come and ask me, he sighed helplessly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Ran was just waiting for this sentence! "When I go buy old furniture tomorrow, buy a few more basins. When I come here, I'll need new basins, as well as new towels, toothbrushes, and so on."
Looking at him from head to toe, could this guy have a fever?
"Why? You don't live here."
"I will come here often in the future. I will come to see Zuo Heng and keep him company occasionally to make him feel warm."
Humph! When I can't find you in the future, you must have come here, so you have to prepare some things here. Well, when I buy old furniture tomorrow, if you see a bed, buy another one for yourself to sleep on when you come here.
Zhou Xiang felt even more that something was wrong with him. How could a demon make people feel warm?
Seeing Zhou Xiang's disbelieving look, he said angrily, "I want to take care of Zuo Heng with you. I can't help with anything else, and he certainly won't be willing to accept financial support from others, so friendship should be okay, right?"
If you become friends with him and you know that you cannot tease your friend’s wife, he won’t have any other thoughts about you.
Seeing that he was getting angry, Zhou Xiang had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, let's go to the department store tomorrow and buy whatever you think you need. We have a lot of new towels, toothbrushes and other things here."
After saying that, she took out a new towel and a new toothbrush from the drawer of the chest of drawers and handed them to him.
Ling Ran took it and turned to go to the kitchen. Zhou Xiang touched the two basins of cold water and sighed. Demons don't understand humans, and humans don't understand demons.
Zhou Xiang was about to go to the kitchen to fetch some hot water when Ling Ran came in with a basin of steaming hot water, smiling.
"Is the water cold? I scooped some more. Come on, I'll add more for you."
Zhou Xiang was speechless, wondering who was delaying the time so unpredictably that the hot water turned cold.
After filling both basins with hot water, Ling Ran went out.
Zhou Xiang closed the door and started washing up.
In the kitchen, Ling Ran chatted with Zuo Heng and found out that Zuo Heng currently treated Zhou Xiang as just a sister, which made him feel relieved. However, he still had to be careful.
If we can't find the little girl, we have to come here to prevent any trouble.
After Zhou Xiang finished washing up, he poured the water, took the basin back into the room and put it under the bed.
He took out a quilt from the large cabinet, made the bed, took off his down jacket and stuffed it into the quilt, then entered the space.
The next day, Zuo Heng got up early to make breakfast. When Zhou woke up, the meal was almost ready.
After washing up and going into the house to eat, Zhou Xiang saw that there was no stove yet, but there was already a small pile of dried coal in the corner of the kitchen.
Well, let’s go buy it together later.
The three of them had their meal, fed Dahuang, asked him to look after the house, and then locked the door and went out.
The first stop is the vegetable market, which is the only place that opens early.
He bought two pounds of pork, two large ribs, radishes, dried black fungus, bean curd sheets, and Chinese cabbage. Zhou Xiang paid for everything.
Ling Ran looked at Zuo Heng, who took it for granted, and felt a little angry. He asked him to carry the heaviest dishes.
After buying groceries, they went to the department store. As soon as the building opened, Zhou Xiang looked at Ling Ran and said, "What do you need? Choose it and I'll pay."
"Where did you get the money?" Ling Ran couldn't help but ask when he heard Zhou Xiang's wealthy attitude.
Zhou wanted to tug at him, asking him to lower his head, and whispered in his ear, "We found a lot of small yellow croakers in the old furniture we bought. Zuo Heng didn't want them, so they all belong to me. So I'm not short of money, and I can afford to keep him."
Ling Ran's eyes widened, and his ears turned red from Zhou Xiang's breathing.
Is there a treasure hidden in old furniture? Should I look for it at the junkyard later?
Ling Ran unceremoniously selected the daily necessities he would need in the future. After paying, the three of them looked at so many things and resigned themselves to their fate, each holding a basin and the things inside.
Only Zhou Xiang's bowl contained towels, toothbrushes and soap, while Ling Ran and Zuo Heng's bowls contained heavy items such as cabbage and pork.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a stove, an aluminum pot for boiling water, and a small iron pot for cooking.
Looking at all these things, the three of them had no choice but to call a cart to take them and their things to the scrap yard.
