Chapter 1
After Wang Erya finished eating 2 bananas, 1 apple, 1 pear and half a watermelon, Jiang Qi took Wang Erya, who was so full of fruit, downstairs and home.
Huang Fugui looked at the fruit that was half gone before he had even eaten it, and said to Old John with mixed feelings: "Brother John, did I misunderstand? The boss just said that Er Yaya can eat whatever she wants, does that mean she can eat here?"
Old John said calmly: "There's nothing to eat at the boss's house, so of course we'll eat here."
Huang Fugui thought it made sense: "Then I have to go out and buy more fruits tomorrow morning. This Erya girl looks quite young, only about eleven or twelve years old, but she eats a lot. Oh, you don't know how pitiful this girl is. She only has one meal a day, and has to get up at dawn every day to fetch water and chop firewood. She has never eaten white flour buns in her life. She only had buns once when she was a child, and they were vegetable buns without animal oil."
"How can her master be so stingy? The maid was bought with her own money, but they don't even let her have a full meal. I didn't do that when I was a landlord."
Huang Fugui, who had also been through hard times, sighed and told Old John that Old John only cared about one thing.
"Maid, is this the kind of job you see in TV shows where you have to clean every day?"
"Almost." Huang Fugui said, "But Erya doesn't know how to clean. I asked her and she is only responsible for chopping wood, fetching water, boiling water and emptying the toilet."
Old John finally felt relieved and continued to do his own thing without saying anything.
Jiang Qi had already gotten a rough idea of Wang Erya's temper and personality when he was chatting with her just now.
Simply put, it means having neither temper nor personality.
She may have some personality traits, but if Jiang Qi shows any dislike for Wang Erya, he will immediately throw away that bit of her personality.
Wang Erya was used to obeying orders. When someone said an affirmative or imperative sentence to her, she would not object even if she disagreed in her heart. At most, she would want to hide the banana peel and eat it secretly, like she did just now.
If you want her to express her own opinion, you should ask her directly, preferably in a commanding tone, so that she will come up with some opinions even if she doesn't have any.
Wang Erya’s biggest problem now is that she can’t read.
A 16-year-old girl, malnourished and illiterate, has such conditions that it is difficult to create an identity.
Jiang Qi initially thought that the card character's inherent skill was literacy. Now it seems that Old John's literacy is based on the fact that he is an educated person, and the game directly switched the language system for him.
Wang Erya was originally illiterate, and no matter how the game was switched, she would still be illiterate.
After returning home, Jiang Qi let Wang Erya stay in the guest room as usual.
The robe Wang Erya was wearing was definitely unwearable. Jiang Qi found Jiang Bing's junior high school uniform in the closet and tried it on Wang Erya. It was a little big but barely wearable.
Although Wang Erya is 16 years old, she looks like a girl of only 12 or 13 years old at most. She is very thin, malnourished, and sick all year round.
After finding clothes, Jiang Qi was extremely sleepy. He hadn't stayed up late for a long time, and his body couldn't bear staying up so late all of a sudden.
Originally, Jiang Qi wanted to introduce the home appliances to Wang Erya and teach her how to use them, but when he felt sleepy, Jiang Qi simplified the teaching to only teach the bathroom part.
"Take a shower first, and then go to bed. I'll turn on the air conditioner for you. If you don't know how to turn it off, wait until I wake up tomorrow. Be sure to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep. Don't touch anything you haven't seen before. If someone comes to my house tomorrow morning, knock on my door and wake me up the first time. Remember?" Jiang Qi repeated everything he could think of to remind him.
Jiang Qi suspected that if he had not ordered Wang Erya to go to bed, Wang Erya would have slept on the floor all night.
He had noticed it just now when Wang Erya followed Jiang Qi into the guest room. Wang Erya couldn't take her eyes off the single bed covered with gray sheets. She liked it so much, but she didn't even dare to touch it, for fear of getting it dirty or broken.
After finishing all this, Jiang Qi, who was already so sleepy that he was about to fall into a sleepwalking state, walked into the room without looking back. He didn't even have time to close the curtains, and fell asleep immediately, sleeping until dawn.
The price of not drawing the curtains is being woken up by the glaring sunlight when you shouldn’t be awake.
The sun in midsummer was extremely bright. Although it was only the beginning of July, the sunshine at eight o'clock in the morning was enough to wake Jiang Qi, who had not gotten enough sleep, from his sleep.
Jiang Qi woke up reluctantly and checked his phone. It was only 8:48.
Jiang Qi, who had fallen asleep in a hurry last night and had no time to wash up, planned to get up and take a shower to wake himself up. However, as he rubbed his eyes and sleepily opened the door, he was stunned.
Did I travel through time?
Is this my home?
When did my old solid wood floor, which hasn't been waxed in more than ten years, become so clean?
You can even reflect a person’s shadow on the floor!
Wang Erya was cleaning the tiles in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she ran out quickly, still holding a rag in her hand, and said nervously, "Boss... am I... am I cleaning the floor okay?"
Looking at the snail girl in front of him, Jiang Qi nodded with difficulty to express his affirmation of her successful work.
Only then did Wang Erya breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Erya woke up early in the morning. As an excellent maid, she always got up at dawn.
The master of the house was not rich enough to ask the maid to light lamps, so Wang Erya could only work during the day. If she didn't finish her work, she would have no food, so she always got up early and started working early.
After getting up, Wang Erya found that she had no chance to work at all after changing her new job.
There is no well to draw water.
Chopping wood, but there is no wood.
Pull out the weeds, there are no weeds. To be precise, there are no green plants in Jiang Qi's house, not even cacti that are easy to grow, so there is no chance to water the flowers.
Before going to bed, Jiang Qi reminded Wang Erya not to touch anything she was not familiar with. Except for the tables, chairs and benches, almost everything in the house was unfamiliar to Wang Erya.
Wang Erya thought about it and found the rag hanging on the balcony and started to mop the floor. This is the floor that Jiang Qi saw when he left the room.
When Jiang Qi finished taking a shower and came out to meet people, Wang Erya had already finished wiping the kitchen tiles and was about to wipe the balcony tiles.
"Arya, stop working, put the rag back, and let's go downstairs for breakfast."
Wang Erya put the rag back and followed Jiang Qi excitedly, welcoming a new life where she could have three meals a day.
Since Wang Erya had never had breakfast before, Jiang Qi took her directly to a standard breakfast shop at the entrance of the community where she could buy various types of breakfast and dine in.
"What do you want to eat? Just say it." Jiang Qi asked after leading Wang Erya to a seat.
Wang Erya looked at the menu on the wall and found that she didn't recognize a single word. She could only say, "Meat buns and white flour buns."
Jiang Qi bought three meat buns, a knife-cut steamed bun, a bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick and a tea egg for Wang Erya, and bought a basket of steamed dumplings, a bowl of soy milk and a bowl of wontons for himself.
After the store served breakfast to the table, Wang Erya couldn't wait to grab the meat bun and take a big bite after Jiang Qi picked up his chopsticks. She was reluctant to let go even though the oil was almost dripping out of her mouth.
"By the way, Erya, I have to change your name." Jiang Qi said while drinking soy milk.
Wang Erya is a name that can be used by people in the family, but it cannot be used by outsiders. It can only be used as a nickname. Especially for Liu Lan and others, Wang Erya must have a well-known name.
"Erya can only be a nickname. You have to give it a formal name. Do you have a name you want?" In terms of naming, Jiang Qi chose to fully respect Wang Erya. After all, he didn't know how to name someone.
Wang Erya thought for a moment and said, "Mantou?"
"steamed stuffed bun?"
"flour?"
Jiang Qi thought he should go and get it.
Jiang Qi took out his cell phone and searched for it, then thought about the names of the female classmates he still remembered over the years. After comprehending the name, he finally decided on Qinghe.
"Green lotus leaves. I originally wanted to name it lotus, but this name sounds a bit like a maid's name, peony, or something like that. Although lotus leaves are not as beautiful as lotus flowers, they are also very eye-catching."
"The lotus leaves connecting the sky are endless and green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are exceptionally red. No matter how bright the lotus flowers are, they will only look good when set against the lotus leaves." Jiang Qi gave Wang Erya an in-depth analysis of his mental journey in naming.
Wang Erya nodded while eating steamed buns, and basically didn't understand anything.
"When someone asks you what your name is, what will you say?"
Wang Erya drank some soy milk: "Wang Qinghe."
Very good, I understood the key points.
After saying that, Wang Erya thought for a moment and added, "Thank you, boss, for the name!"
