That being said, when there is a strong wind, especially in winter when the doors and windows are closed, it is really hard to hear what is happening outside.
"What do you think about me making a homemade alarm device?" That way she would know if someone really came in.
"Sure, you can try it. It doesn't have to be too complicated, just something simple will do."
"Okay, I'll look for it. You're here just in time. I've already got the laundry powder and liquid detergent. You can just go and sell them. We can split it in half like before."
"No need, just give me some money for running errands." The little sister had done everything by herself from beginning to end, and he felt embarrassed to ask for so much.
"No, I can't figure it out without your advice. I still feel like I'm getting the upper hand with half and half. It's just like before. Don't bother me, or I won't do these things anymore."
"Our original purpose was to earn some pocket money," and part of the reason was that we needed it ourselves.
"Don't forget, you said we'd go to college and buy houses next door to each other. How can we buy houses if you don't have money?"
He also knew that Ye Zi was not being falsely polite to him: "Okay, I won't be polite with you. When I make money in the future, I will buy you nice clothes."
"Okay, stop giving me big promises. I'm going to sleep. Drink it yourself."
His little sister is a good girl who goes to bed early and gets up early every day, but he is not like that. It seems like his biological clock cannot be changed.
Anyway, he definitely won't be able to fall asleep before ten o'clock, which is much better than not sleeping until twelve o'clock.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room and savor it slowly. You lock the door," Cen Zixiang picked up the cup of coffee and walked towards the door with the coffee on the table.
"Oh, the candy bar is in the kitchen. I'll find it and bring it back to you tomorrow."
"Okay, lock the door."
It would be inconvenient for him to stay on the first floor while his younger sister was resting, so he might as well go back to his own room and continue.
Three days later, Chen Ye and Cen Zixiang counted the money in their hands. Although they were both very happy, the amount was far less than the money they got from the washing machine last time. They only got 300 yuan each for the two products, which he had to work hard to get.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so stingy." Cen Zixiang shook the big unity in his hand.
Chen Ye put his small amount of money into his pocket: "How much more do you want? This is already a lot. Do you know how much bonus our factory gives for developing a new product?"
"How many?"
"Fifty yuan, that person would be so happy that he would cry, and you took three hundred and you still think it's too little? Do you know how much three hundred yuan is? It's equivalent to my ten-month salary. You should be content, right?"
This guy has become a native, but it seems that he still hasn't corrected his values.
Cen Zixiang thought about it and nodded. Sometimes he always used the perspective of future generations to judge this place. This was not right. He used to be very careful, but recently he has become a little arrogant!
"Sister, do you want to make dishwashing liquid? The kind used for washing dishes?" This was also what he had carefully recalled from his memory when he had nothing to do recently. He still remembered the approximate formula.
There is no such thing as dishwashing liquid nowadays. At least they don’t have it here. They use lye blocks to wash dishes. It can clean things well, but it burns your hands.
"This is possible. Do you remember the recipe?"
"Roughly speaking, you still have to experiment slowly on your own," after all, I have my own studio here, and I have many things here.
"Okay, you write it down and I'll experiment slowly. I've been tinkering with these things for a long time. I haven't been a carpenter for a long time."
Maybe there were too many houses in the house, and a few were enough to live in. Chen Ye lost much interest in this and only tinkered with it occasionally.
"You're just doing it for fun anyway, so it doesn't matter what you do."
"That's true. How many days can you stay this time? Can you come here to celebrate the New Year? Can Gao Erge come with you?"
The time flies so fast, it seems that the New Year will be here soon.
"I'll be back tomorrow. I've been out for several days already. It's hard to say when the New Year will come. Let's see how things go."
There have been strangers appearing in the village recently. I didn’t see him coming alone this time. One of them always has to stay behind to watch over the cowshed, but he shouldn’t tell his younger sister about this.
"Okay, then I'll try to prepare more New Year's goods," Buy as much as you can, anyway, the weather won't be bad for a while.
"Is there anything else you want? If so, I'll have someone bring it to you when someone comes out."
Chen Ye shook his head: "I have everything I need. I couldn't even imagine the life I'm living now."
We lived in a big house made of blue bricks and tiles. The house was warm, clean and tidy. The quilts were filled with new and soft cotton, and the food was amazing.
Other people are very happy to eat meat a few times a year, but she can eat stewed meat every few days, and she wears warm clothes without even a patch on her body.
Cen Zixiang felt bad after hearing this. The longer he stayed in the village, the more he understood. Ye Zi's childhood life was actually almost like a beggar, except for having a fixed residence.
"I'm rich now. What do you want to eat? Come on, I'll take you out to spend some money."
Chen Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be so hasty with just a little money. I would say you should save all the money I give you and never give it to you at all."
"What I'm saying is that Fourth Brother just wants to spend some money on my little sister to make her happy."
"No, we have everything we need at home. But since you have a long sweater, you can always have delicious food every time you come. Today is the day when the state-owned restaurant makes pork elbows. I have already paid for it, so you just need to go and get it."
The two of them had been to a state-owned restaurant together before, and the waitress had asked about Fourth Brother last time, so it wouldn't be a big deal to let Fourth Brother go there himself.
"Oh, and there's blood sausage. I told the chef to leave a piece for me. You can bring it back directly. We'll stew the blood sausage with sauerkraut tonight."
"Tsk tsk, you guys eat so well," he said with a sour taste. If it were not impossible, he would have wanted to move to the city and live with his younger sister's grandparents. The life they lived here was better than 90 percent of the people in the country.
"We usually wouldn't eat like this, but since you're here, we wanted to let you eat something good."
It’s not that they don’t eat this way, it’s just that they don’t have all the good things put together to eat these days. They just eat one thing at a time, thinking about taking it slow and steady.
"Hehe, Fourth Brother is wrong. This is not Fourth Brother's fault. Wait, Fourth Brother will go and get the things I ordered for you now. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Ask the chef for some broth. The pork elbow is more delicious when it's hot in this weather. What else do you want to eat? You can order anything we have at home."
