160: The little girl almost had a stroke
When the big enemy returned home, Yu Xiaoye was not in the living room, and the cloth on the sofa had been torn off. Yu Xiaoye was squatting in the bathroom washing the sofa cloth.
Seeing that the little girl was quite sensible and knew that she had made the sofa cover dirty and took the initiative to help wash it, the resentment in the heart of the big enemy was slightly relieved, and he said:
"Okay, stop washing, let's go, I'll take you home."
Yu Xiaoye rubbed the sofa cloth and whispered:
"I'll be done in a minute."
"Don't wash anymore, let's go."
Zhou Ziheng was worried that Yu Xiaoye would catch a cold from washing things with cold water, but when Yu Xiaoye heard this, she just wanted to get rid of this plague goddess as soon as possible.
Yu Xiaoye was not a person who did not care about the value of things. Seeing that the other person disliked him and wanted to drive him away, he did not dare to stay any longer. He put down the work in his hands, got up and left the bathroom obediently.
When I got outside, I felt a little embarrassed. I wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it.
Seeing her shy face, Zhou Ziheng didn't think much about it and said directly:
"I'm going out now and will drive to the gate of the compound to wait for you. In a few minutes, you leave the house and go find me. Remember, it's the 212 Jeep I was riding in earlier. It's parked on the side of the road. Try not to be seen. Also, lock the door for me when you leave."
"Yeah." Yu Xiaoye nodded obediently.
After Zhou Ziheng finished his instructions, he turned around and was about to leave.
Yu Xiaoye immediately called him:
"Director——"
Zhou Ziheng frowned and asked with an expression that said, "This lady is really hard to please."
"What's wrong?"
Yu Xiaoye lowered his head, pinched his fingers hard, and asked shyly:
"Um, my pants are dirty, can I lend you a piece of clothing?"
Zhou Ziheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Yu Xiaoye's two legs that were as slender and straight as cranes, and said:
"You can't seem to fit into my pants."
Yu Xiaoye almost had a stroke after hearing this:
Holy shit, is this the legendary straight man's train of thought?!
How did he figure out that I wanted to borrow his pants?
"No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to borrow your shirt to cover myself, not your pants."
Zhou Ziheng finally understood the meaning, oh, oh, oh——
I see.
This is so fucking embarrassing!
With a red face, he went straight into the inner room, picked up a shirt and stuffed it to Yu Xiaoye, then left the room in a shameless manner.
Yu Xiaoye took the clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
She tied the clothes around her waist to cover her soiled pants, and then followed Zhou Ziheng's instructions and went out after a while.
Although Director Zhou sometimes has a bad temper, he is still a good person and even drove her home personally.
But then I thought, that’s not right, she hasn’t gone out to buy things yet?
She couldn’t buy fried dough sticks, but she still wanted to go to the department store. She had already picked out the things she wanted to buy yesterday and planned to buy them today. If she didn’t buy anything, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
Ah, this——
What should I do? Should I sneak away when the manager isn't paying attention?
But wouldn’t it be impolite and immoral to leave without saying goodbye?
Director Zhou was already very suspicious of her. If she slipped away quietly, wouldn't it be an even greater crime? Would Director Zhou still be nice to her in the future?
This week the manager is not someone to be trifled with.
After thinking it over, Yu Xiaoye chose to compromise and decided to act better in front of Director Zhou in the future. So he decided not to run away and go home directly with Director Zhou.
Next time I come to the county town, I will go shopping there again.
Yu Xiaoye calmed himself down and went back to the bathroom to quickly wash the sofa cover that he had not finished washing.
The director's family used tap water, which was very cold. She knew that she couldn't touch cold water during her period, but she couldn't care less. She couldn't be so delicate at this time. She endured the cold and washed the blood stains on the sofa cover, rinsed it twice, wrung it dry, and put it in the washbasin.
Looking at the wet sofa cover, I estimated that it would take at least tomorrow for the sofa cover to dry completely.
Knowing that the director would not be back at this time, Yu Xiaoye simply took the sofa cover back to the space yacht, used the washing machine on the yacht to dehydrate the sofa cover until it was almost half dry, then took it out and hung it on the clothesline at the door.
The director lives in a Soviet-style tube-shaped building. The corridor at the door is actually a large balcony. If you hang it here, it will probably dry completely in an afternoon.
After washing the sofa cover and seeing that there were few people in the corridor, she quietly locked the door and went downstairs to find Director Zhou.
After leaving the government compound, she looked to the right and saw Zhou Ziheng's jeep parked not far ahead. She ran up quickly and slipped into the front passenger seat like a thief.
Seeing her come in, Zhou Ziheng didn't even look at her. He started the car and the car drove forward with a hum.
Zhou Ziheng took out three buns from somewhere and handed them to her:
"Eat it."
"Thank you, Director." Yu Xiaoye took the bun with both hands and thanked him sincerely.
Then he peeled a bun from the corn husk and took a big bite.
After being hungry for such a long time, I finally had a bite of hot buns. I felt so satisfied!
The buns are filled with tofu and cabbage, and taste very fresh. Although the bun skin is not made of pure white flour, it is very chewy, unlike the flour in later generations that is very fermented and has no chewiness.
She only ate one and put the remaining two buns in her pocket.
Zhou Ziheng drove silently without saying a word. He caught a glimpse of her putting the buns into her pocket and said,
“Isn’t it delicious?”
"tasty."
"Why don't you eat it if it's delicious?"
"I'm full."
"I was so hungry I couldn't stand up, and you were full with just one bun?"
Yu Xiaoye knew that the director was not easy to fool, so he told the truth:
"I want to take some back home for my parents to eat."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng, who had originally had a cold expression, instantly broke down.
It’s just two vegetable buns, but he actually wanted to take them back to his parents. Is this family’s living condition so poor?
Moreover, this girl was obviously very hungry, but she was able to endure the hunger and leave the buns for her parents. This kind of filial piety is truly rare.
Zhou Ziheng's voice became gentle:
"Didn't I give you twenty dollars?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell the director that I didn't want the twenty yuan. I returned it to Secretary Jia. If Secretary Jia didn't return the money to you, then he embezzled it."
"No, why not?" Zhou Ziheng seemed a little unhappy.
"We can make a living in the company. We have food to eat and clothes to wear. I heard that our salary will be paid soon, so I can't take this money. My parents won't take it either. Also, the director previously paid for my father's medical expenses in the hospital, and the five dollars you gave me. When I have money in the future, I will pay you back."
"No need to pay it back."
"Dad said that the manager has already arranged work for us and this is already compensation, so there is no need to ask for the money."
"Your father is quite sensible, but I won't take the money."
Yu Xiaoye didn't argue with the director. She leaned her head against the backrest of the car seat and stopped talking.
Zhou Ziheng asked again in an interrogative tone:
"You haven't told me what you did last night."
“——”
No movement.
Zhou Ziheng asked again:
"say."
Still no movement...
