Yao Tongjia had no idea what Xiao Gengwu was thinking. She glanced at the soap, and seeing no problems, went into the kitchen: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Xiao Gengwu followed him inside: "Do you still have any instant noodles? How about we have instant noodles for dinner tonight?"
Yao Tongjia searched through a lot of things in her space last time and actually found several boxes of instant noodles. After coming here, she cooked them for Xiao Gengwu once, and he liked the taste!
Yao Tongjia wasn't particularly particular about food, and besides, it was just the two of them there, both complete kitchen novices, so they couldn't possibly make anything else delicious!
Of course, the simpler the better. Xiao Gengwu took out four eggs, washed some green vegetables, added oil to the pan, and while the oil was heating up, he beat the four eggs into a bowl.
Xiao Gengwu quickly stirred the egg mixture clockwise with chopsticks, and as soon as the oil was hot, he poured the egg mixture in, and the aroma of fried eggs immediately filled the air.
Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "Why not wait a moment and just pour it into the noodle soup?"
"Fried eggs are delicious! I see you prefer fried eggs!"
Yao Tongjia felt a warmth in her heart. It felt great to have someone know her preferences! She did indeed like fried eggs, especially since the eggs available nowadays were all free-range, making them particularly delicious.
Place the fried eggs on a plate, add an appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil. First, put the instant noodles in, and after the water boils, add the green vegetables.
Then came the seasoning packet that came with the instant noodles. Xiao Gengwu opened the seasoning packet and looked at it again and again. Yao Tongjia laughed and said, "Why are you changing careers again to study seasoning?"
"No, I was just looking at this bag. These bags are all made of plastic, but they don't smell like the plastic we have now."
Modern plastics do have the drawback of having a strong odor, making them unsuitable for contact with food. Xiao Gengwu sniffed the smell repeatedly, almost forgetting about the noodles in the pot.
Seeing that the noodles were cooked, Yao Tongjia didn't call Xiao Gengwu. Instead, she took a small pot, scooped out the noodles, washed the pot, and started boiling water.
The first thing Yao Tongjia found difficult to get used to after arriving here was the toilet. Every time she went, she had to hold her breath until she was almost suffocating before she could breathe again, because the dry toilet always emitted a foul stench!
The second thing I wasn't used to was taking a bath. In later generations, there were water heaters, so we could take as many hot water baths as we wanted and never had to worry about running out of water.
After arriving here, not only do you have to boil water before taking a shower, but there's only one bucket of water for each shower, so it's never enough! You can only give yourself a quick wipe down.
Xiao Gengwu is so creative, why don't we talk to him and let him create something!
Just as he was about to take the pot outside, Xiao Gengwu came to his senses: "I'll do it, I'll do it. I was just thinking about something. The noodles will be ready soon, right?"
Yao Tongjia: "......" Luckily you were just thinking about a problem, otherwise I would have fallen asleep while you were still standing, and we could have saved on food!
When Xiao Geng was serving noodles, he put a large piece of fried egg into Yao Tongjia's bowl and asked, "What's the environment like where you are?"
Yao Tongjia took a bite of noodles, her eyes filled with nostalgia: "The environment was definitely much better than it is now, with bustling traffic and skyscrapers!"
"Do you want to go back?" This was the question that Xiao Gengwu cared about most!
Yao Tongjia shook her head: "Back then, I was just looking for a place where I could feel at peace, and I planned to go wherever I wanted. I never expected to end up here!"
This can be considered a wish fulfilled, truly leaving that world completely and coming here to have a mother, a master, a younger brother, and this kind brother!
It's really great. I wonder if the original owner of this body switched identities with me.
"I feel good about being here, but I don't know if she's gone to my world! If she has, it will be very difficult for her!"
Xiao Gengwu asked curiously, "Why is it difficult?"
"I told you before that I was on a plane when I came here. The plane had actually crashed, and I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect to wake up here!"
"Maybe my body is already a complete mess, what good did she have in the past?"
Xiao Gengwu imagined that scene and couldn't help but light a candle for the original owner. He didn't want to hear Yao Tongjia continue: "Besides, before I went abroad, I sold everything I could and put everything into my space."
"In the past, she was practically penniless. How do you think she was going to survive?"
Xiao Gengwu: "......" You're ruthless! You left them nothing!
“If I had known she would come and exchange with someone else, I would have left her some!” These words made Xiao Gengwu’s heart tremble: “Why did you leave the place you used to live?”
"I just want to change places, where there's no one I miss!" Yao Tongjia thought of her future life, which, though not long ago, felt incredibly distant.
After arriving here, she was busy with this and that every day, and with people always by her side, it seemed as if she had let go of the shackles in her heart and let go of all the unhappiness of the past!
Sure enough, people can't be too idle; idleness breeds problems. She stood up to clear the dishes, but Xiao Gengwu took them away, saying, "I'll go wash the dishes. You're going to wash your hair tonight, right? Go wash it quickly, or you won't be able to dry it again tonight!"
How did you even know I needed to wash my hair?
"What's wrong with that? Your hair is quite long, so you can't wash it every day. You usually wash it every two or three days. I saw you scratching your hair several times today, so you definitely need to wash it!"
"You even have to observe me when I'm pulling my hair?" Yao Tongjia felt a little embarrassed!
"You're right in front of me, I can see you at a glance, do I need to observe you?"
Yao Tongjia: "..." I was speechless!
When Xiao Gengwu came out after washing the dishes, he was still holding the instant noodle bag. When Yao Tongjia came out, he put down the bag and took a towel: "Let me wipe you down!"
Yao Tongjia was a little unaccustomed to it: "I can wipe it myself!"
Xiao Gengwu gently helped dry your hair: "I'll dry your hair whenever I have time! Will you give me that chance?"
At this moment, Yao Tongjia didn't want to refuse: "Okay!"
Neither of them spoke. One sat and the other stood drying their hair, creating an unusually warm scene under the dim oil lamp!
After drying his hair, Xiao Gengwu was deep in thought again, holding the bag. Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "What are you looking at the bag for?"
Xiao Gengwu put down the bag: "I've seen the current plastic before, and I'm wondering what the difference is between the two!"
Are you thinking about everything you see now?
"No, there's very little access to things now, and even less access to books! I can only think about things that interest me."
These words made Yao Tongjia very regretful. Why didn't she put some books in her space? Otherwise, she could have shown them to him right now.
However, Manager Zhang keeps stuffing things into my hands, and I don't know if he's included any books. I guess I'll have to go look for them later!
