Chapter 108: Clear distinction
Spinach is 4.5 yuan per pound, and a few heads of spinach cost 3 yuan. Eggplant is okay, 2 yuan per pound. I bought 2 and spent 2.5 yuan. Tomatoes are 2.5 yuan per pound. I bought 5 and spent 6.3 yuan. Eggs are 4.6 yuan per pound. I bought 20 eggs and spent 18.2 yuan.
After buying the vegetables, I also bought two pounds of pork tenderloin, all lean pork. I was thinking of going home to make vegetable and lean meat porridge, which would be nutritious, delicious, and very convenient.
You can drink porridge at night and in the morning, but you cannot drink it without some side dishes. If you drink porridge three times a day, the nutritious food will become worthless.
I should replenish the rice, flour, oil and seasonings at home, so I bought some more.
I bought some apples and bananas. These two kinds of fruits are delicious and inexpensive.
Finally, I bought a box of pure milk and went to the checkout counter to pay.
She felt that she didn't buy much, but still spent 326.5 yuan. After doing the math, she felt that it was more cost-effective for her to just eat grass.
I pushed the shopping cart and put all the items in the trunk, then returned the shopping cart to the supermarket and went back to the car to wait.
He took out his cell phone and opened the chat page. He was originally planning to send Xiao Jingyan a message saying that he was waiting for him, but then he changed his mind and felt like he was urging him. They had already agreed that whoever bought first would go back to the car and wait, so there was really no need to notify him again.
When I opened my phone, I saw the message from Shen Baozhu. Then I remembered that the matter had been resolved and I forgot to tell her.
Thinking that Xiao Jingyan had just moved in and should have a lot of things to buy, he simply took this opportunity to call Shen Baozhu again and told her everything.
Shen Baozhu had been worried ever since she received Lin Nuan's call. More than an hour had passed, and after she hung up the phone, there was not a single message on her phone, so she sent a message to ask about the situation.
The two have been good friends for many years and know each other very well. Shen Baozhu knows Lin Nuan's personality well and knows that she is not good at dealing with people. She is afraid that she will be bullied by others. Just as she is about to go back to check the situation, she sees the incoming call on her phone.
I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the matter was resolved, but the thought of Lin Nuan living with a man made me anxious again.
"Nuan Nuan, how about I go and borrow some money? I can still borrow 30,000 yuan. At worst, we can pay it back together. You've never even had a boyfriend, and now you suddenly have to live with a man. Don't be fooled."
"What else do I have? I have no looks and no money, so no one would be interested in me. Anyway, my house is big, and it would be a waste for me to live alone. Having more people would make me more popular, and I wouldn't have to go into debt. Isn't that good?"
Lin Nuan stated the truth with some self-mockery, but left some things unsaid.
Shen Baozhu disagreed, "That's because you don't want to dress up at all. There are no ugly women in the world, only lazy women. Besides, you have good looks. As long as you dress up well, you can be a pretty little beauty. What I'm worried about is that the man discovered your beauty like me and then plotted against you."
"You think so. He is very well off. Not only is he good-looking, he is also well-educated. If he plots against me, who will suffer the consequences?"
Shen Baozhu had a worried look on her face on the other end of the phone, but after hearing Lin Nuan's words, she became a little teasing.
"You didn't fall in love with him at first sight, did you? You're already 26, and you've never been in a relationship before. You don't know what it's like to be with a man. You're the easiest to be deceived. It's okay if you two really fall in love with each other, but you must pay attention to safety and don't get anyone killed. Get to know each other better."
"What are you thinking? That's not what I meant. Why is your mind full of pornographic garbage? Have you not been in a relationship recently? Go find a boyfriend!"
Lin Nuan naturally understood what Shen Baozhu meant. Xiao Jingyan was indeed a little special, but only a little, and it would not have much impact. After all, whether it was a dream or not, what had happened in the past was over. Even if there were people in this world who looked exactly the same, they were not necessarily the same person.
That little bit of specialness was so special that she didn't know how to explain it even if she wanted to.
Even if there really is past and present lives, or even if there are multiple parallel time and space under the same sky, that is just human speculation and has not been scientifically verified.
If you tell others what you think are the truths, you will probably be considered a psychopath.
Lin Nuan was too lazy to argue with Shen Baozhu anymore. She had said everything she needed to say anyway. As for what she thought, it was up to her!
Wait a couple of days and get everything sorted out first.
As soon as I hung up the phone, I saw Xiao Jingyan walking towards the supermarket entrance pushing two shopping carts.
Lin Nuanneng looked through the car window at the high-spirited man walking towards her. She was still dazed for a moment, but she quickly reacted. She felt that she might have been influenced by Shen Baozhu and even had water in her brain. She shook her head lightly twice, opened the car door and got out.
“Why did you buy so much?”
I asked it out of impulse, but after I finished speaking I felt that it was inappropriate to ask this question given the relationship between the two of us.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyan didn't think there was anything wrong. "I brought very little with me when I came here. I only brought some clothes and toiletries for daily use. I will need more things if I want to live here permanently."
There were too many things to fit in the trunk, so the extra stuff was put on the back seat. The car was packed full. It can be said that he was so rich that people envied him!
On the way back, both of them were much quieter and didn't talk much along the way. It was not until they returned to the downstairs of the community and needed to get something that they had some communication.
After returning home, Lin Nuan put all the things she bought in the kitchen, and then helped Xiao Jingyan take his things back into the house.
If we were to work so hard, it would already be six o'clock in the evening when we get back.
"Take your time to clean up. I won't help you. I'll go to the kitchen to cook. Will you join us for dinner later?"
"I can clean it up myself. You've already helped me a lot. Don't bother me. I have a meeting with friends tonight. I'll clean it up and go out later."
Xiao Jingyan did have an appointment with a friend, so he had dinner with him in the evening to welcome him back.
Lin Nuan was just asking out of politeness. After all, if she ate alone at home and completely ignored the other person in the family, she would seem too stingy.
It’s the best to get this answer now. After all, she can just make some porridge and some side dishes by herself.
However, when dining with guests, it would be inappropriate to be too simple. Even if you cook a pot of porridge, you have to stir-fry two side dishes, which is the minimum standard.
It was just right that Xiao Jingyan didn't eat with her, so she could save time, effort and trouble.
When men and women live together, the best way to get along is to keep clear boundaries.
