The three young men worked together, and soon the room felt warmer. Maybe it was because the wolf skin was furry. Several of them even sat on the ground to feel it. It turned out to be much warmer than the floor.
The old man drank the tea with a smile: "Okay, let's go back and have some rest." The old man still felt sorry for his grandson. Besides, it was time for his granddaughter to go to bed.
Ever since the old man and the old lady came, Chen Ye's life after get off work has become much more colorful. At least he doesn't just eat a bite and then dive into the house to start decorating.
Now I only do it when I’m interested, and the speed of decoration has slowed down a lot.
Xiao Wang lives in the wing next to the old couple, which is closest to them. He can arrive first if there is any sudden situation. The house is decorated similarly to the one Chen Ye lives in, and has floor heating.
The old couple always complained that the floor heating in their house would cause them to get burned, otherwise they would not have had a fireplace.
"Fourth brother, do you want to come back with me and live in my yard, or live with Brother Wang?" Anyway, every well-maintained house has two floors, so even if two grown men live together, it won't be crowded.
"Is there a fire in the house in your yard?"
"It burned. I opened the valve when you came over. You stayed in the same room as before. You didn't even move your bedding."
"Then I'll live in your yard," and let his little sister live in a yard alone, which would be so lonely.
"Have you ever thought about moving here?"
Chen Ye shook his head directly: "No, I like the house I live in now. The key is that it faces the street. I can see what's going on outside from the second floor."
This place is not as familiar to Chen Ye as the village. She always remains alert to this place and always feels that being near the street can allow her to know the situation outside more quickly.
"Okay, then if grandpa and grandma come home, wouldn't you be scared if there's not even a neighbor nearby in such a big yard?"
To be honest, Cen Zixiang felt that if he lived in such a big house without any neighbors, he would be very nervous and scared. Who doesn't fear ghosts?
"What's there to be afraid of? What could be scarier than a human?"
It seems to be true that sometimes people are scarier than wild beasts.
When they arrived at the yard, Cen Zixiang glanced at the police station with lights on across the wall. Cen Zixiang went straight to Chen Ye's house with Chen Ye. He forgot to ask about the situation next door.
I heard from my grandparents that the last time someone broke in here, no one from the police station next door came out and they all pretended to be dead. I don’t know if there was any explanation after this incident. Don’t say I can’t hear anything. If the voices over there are louder, I can hear them here.
My little sister screamed at the top of her lungs, but how could she not be heard through a wall? Are you trying to fool a fool?
Chen Ye was not surprised to see Cen Zixiang following him. This guy was a night owl and could stay up later than any of them. It was quite difficult for him to go to bed early.
"My second aunt sent me some coffee last time. Do you want to drink it?" Chen Ye only drank it once, but she didn't like it because it was too bitter.
"Oh, my mother is so partial. Why didn't she mail it to me?" Cen Zixiang smacked his lips with a sour taste.
Chen Ye went to the cupboard and took out a box of coffee and placed it on the coffee table in the middle. He pointed to the thermos next to him and said, "Make it yourself. If you like, take it away when you leave. I'm not used to it. It's too bitter."
In her previous life, she watched videos where many people talked about how fragrant and delicious coffee was. She had always been curious about it, but she couldn't buy this foreign stuff here.
Last time I saw her couldn't wait to get it to drink. If she hadn't adhered to the principle of not wasting, she would have poured it out directly. It's better than drinking it with her nose pinched, and her mouth was bitter for a long time.
Cen Zixiang glanced at the coffee that was all in foreign language. He was pretty good at foreign languages, so anyone who wasn't too technical could understand it. "How do you drink it?"
"Just drink it with boiling water."
"Have you ever thought of adding some sugar or something?" This is the pure bitter taste of espresso, and most people are really not used to it.
"Yes, I put a big spoonful of sugar in it, but it's still bitter. I wasted that big spoonful of sugar."
"No, there's nothing to match, just this box of coffee?"
"What matching items? You mean the small cubes of sugar? What's the difference between that and white sugar? Wouldn't it still be bitter if you put them in?"
"Shouldn't there be a companion, a powder similar to milk powder?"
"Yes, I thought it was imported milk powder. Let me think where I put it," Chen Ye went to look in the small cabinet, which was full of nutritional supplements and snacks.
After a while, she took out a red box and asked, "Look, is this it?"
Cen Zixiang took it and took a look: "Yes, you have to add sugar with this, otherwise it will only taste bitter."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out it's so troublesome. I remember seeing it before, isn't it just a small packet put directly into the cup, add boiling water and rinse it."
"How can they be the same? That's three-in-one coffee, it's already mixed for you. This is pure coffee powder. Do you want it?"
"No, it's hard to sleep if you're not used to it. Last time I pinched my nose and drank a cup, and I fell asleep in the second half of the night. I think it's not as good as our master's tea." At least that one has a little sweetness and not that bitter taste.
"Okay, I have to try a glass. I remember the last time I drank it was four years ago. I feel sorry for myself when I think about it. I used to be able to buy it easily, but now it's so difficult to drink it."
Chen Ye grinned and watched Cen Zixiang take a sip of the dark coffee with a look of intoxication on his face. Chen Ye couldn't understand, could this stuff really be so delicious?
Cen Zixiang was amused by Chen Ye's expression. This little girl's expressions are much richer now.
"What are you laughing at? It's normal if you're not used to it. You'll take it with you when you leave anyway. It would be a waste to let it expire." She still preferred the sweet malted milk.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll just lend it to you. I've told my mom so many times, but she never responds to me."
"Seriously," he said, raising his chin towards the police station. "What do they say over there?"
Chen Ye frowned when talking about the previous police station. Who would have thought that for safety reasons, he bought a house next to the police station, but it turned out that this place was more dangerous than anywhere else and was almost becoming a spy nest.
"I don't know the details, but I know I saw a lot of new faces. The old ones were almost gone."
"It should have been cleaned. Tell me, when you buy this house, who would have thought that the safest place would turn out to be the most dangerous place."
"Luckily, nothing happened to you, but you still need to be careful. If those people are not caught, they might cause more trouble."
"Don't worry, I'm a light sleeper. If there's any noise, I'll be able to hear it."
