Cheng Yaoyao nodded and couldn't help but hiccup. Xie Zhao teased her, "Wipe your tears and snot."
"You're the one with a runny nose!" Cheng Yaoyao deliberately rubbed her tears onto Xie Zhao's face. Crystal clear water beads hung on her eyelashes, her peach blossom eyes were thinly layered with red, her hair was slightly messy, and the resentment towards Shen Jiqiu dissipated unconsciously.
Xie Zhao smiled, put the person back on the bed, picked up the hot water kettle, added water to the basin, and wet the towel.
Cheng Yaoyao touched the blanket on his body and found that it was a soft milk tea-colored cashmere blanket. It was fine and soft, and it was obviously very valuable. "This is a Soviet product. Where did it come from?"
Xie Zhao rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, put a hot towel on Cheng Yaoyao's cheek, and wiped it gently: "I bought it on the black market. This is light and soft, and warmer than a wool blanket."
Cheng Yaoyao wrapped the blanket around himself, raised his face and let Xie Zhao do what he wanted. The warm towel wiped his skin, and the skin that was stung by tears became comfortable and warm: "This blanket is not cheap, right? My wool blanket costs three hundred yuan."
"I also brought this for you." Xie Zhao opened the bag beside the bed and took out two boxes of things.
Cheng Yaoyao's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it, and he stretched out his hand: "It's cheese!"
Xie Zhao raised his hand, but Cheng Yaoyao couldn't reach it, so he just stood up and threw himself on him, grabbing his arm with both hands and snatching it down: "Give it to me!"
Xie Zhao leaned back against the bed and let Cheng Yaoyao pry open his fingers and snatch the cheese. The cheese was wrapped in blue paper, a big hard block, and the aroma of cheese could be smelled through the paper: "How did you get it? Cheese is not common."
Xie Zhao put one hand behind his head and looked at Cheng Yaoyao's happy expression with a smile on his lips: "Someone is trading Soviet goods. No one knows about this cheese. I think you will like it."
"Of course I like it." The fine cheese left a fragrance on his fingertips. Cheng Yaoyao stretched it out in front of Xie Zhao for him to smell: "Cheese can be delicious in many ways, and the fragrance is very authentic. Smell it."
Cheng Yaoyao's wrist was slender, exuding a faint and warm rose scent. Xie Zhao sniffed her wrist gently and said meaningfully: "It smells good."
In her previous life, men had given her countless precious gifts to please her: flowers, brand-name bags, jewelry, but Cheng Yaoyao didn't even bother to eyelid. However, Xie Zhao's piece of cheese touched her heart.
Cheng Yaoyao was happily planning what delicious food to make with the cheese. Xie Zhao lifted the blanket and wrapped Cheng Yaoyao up, saying, "You're exhausted these past few days. Go to sleep first and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Cheng Yaoyao said: "I haven't taken a shower yet."
Xie Zhao laughed: "The water is ready."
Cheng Yaoyao put his hands around Xie Zhao's neck and yawned softly: "I'll carry him."
…
After taking a hot bath, Cheng Yaoyao felt completely warm. Xie Zhao spread a cashmere blanket on the bed, and Cheng Yaoyao rolled into the quilt, which was indeed much warmer than usual.
Xie Zhao sat on the bed, his short black hair still dripping with water, and his body exuded the same soap smell as Cheng Yaoyao and his unique hormone smell. Xie Zhao tucked in the corners of the quilt and patted her twice like a baby: "Go to sleep."
Cheng Yaoyao was already sleepy, and blinked his sleepy eyes, then suddenly looked at Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao understood: "Don't worry about the filming, just go to sleep."
Xie Zhao's voice was deep and charming. Cheng Yaoyao rested his cheek on his palm and fell asleep as soon as he relaxed.
The cashmere blanket was soft and warm, and Cheng Yaoyao seemed to be back in her own luxury bed, sleeping soundly and comfortably. Grandma Xie felt sorry for her hard work in taking photos these days, so she didn't come to wake her up. When Cheng Yaoyao woke up by herself, it was already noon.
Cheng Yaoyao ran out in his pajamas: "Xie Zhao, Xie Zhao!"
Grandma Xie was startled and quickly dropped her work and came over: "Yaoyao, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Cheng Yaoyao looked around the house: "Grandma, where is Xie Zhao?"
"Zhao Ge'er went out early in the morning." Grandma Xie nagging: "Go and put it on. It's cold today. You will catch a cold if you do this."
Cheng Yaoyao stamped his feet anxiously: "Why didn't Xie Zhao call me?"
Cheng Yaoyao looked at his watch. It was already twelve o'clock. The director and the others must have boarded the train.
"What's the matter that worries you so much?" Grandma Xie pulled Cheng Yaoyao, "You seem to be crying anxiously. Did Zhao Ge'er offend you?"
Cheng Yaoyao was about to complain to Grandma Xie when the gate rang and Xie Zhao strode in with a ticket in his hand: "Sister, the role is yours."
"Xie Zhao!" Cheng Yaoyao screamed and ran over: "What did you tell the director! Aren't they leaving today?"
Xie Zhao put his coat on her and said, "The director and his team have changed the time. We'll wait for you tomorrow."
Cheng Yaoyao was so excited that she jumped up and down, and felt that Xie Zhao was like a magician who could do anything. She resisted the urge to throw herself into Xie Zhao's arms and act coquettishly, and just looked at him with admiration: "You are so nice! Why don't you take me with you?"
Xie Zhao dragged her back to the house to put on her socks: "Let you sleep a little longer."
Grandma Xie understood what was said and covered her chest with her hands: "Oh, grandma is old, don't scare me like that."
When Cheng Yaoyao passed by Grandma Xie, he waved his ticket at her and said happily, "Grandma, I'm going to make a movie!"
Grandma Xie didn't look surprised at all. She just said, "Are you in such a hurry? We're leaving tomorrow and I haven't packed my things yet! Xiaopi, Xiaopi! Come and help me pack my things!"
Cheng Yaoyao was going to film a movie, and it was going to a place as far away as Suzhou. I heard that Suzhou was very humid and cold in winter, and I didn't know if Cheng Yaoyao could stand it. Grandma Xie led Xie Fei to pack things, and she wanted to let Cheng Yaoyao take all her belongings.
Cheng Yaoyao put on his clothes and socks and came out, saying, "Grandma, don't worry. The crew will arrange a dormitory for you. It will have everything you need."
"When you go out, you can't have everything you need at home." Grandma Xie has never traveled far in her life. In her imagination, traveling is a very tiring thing. "When Zhao'er's father went abroad, he had two long-term servants to carry his luggage. Every year, he had to send several large boxes of things over."
When Cheng Yaoyao saw Grandma Xie starting to bundle the bedding, he finally looked to Xie Zhao for help: "Xie Zhao..."
Xie Zhao said, "Grandma, my sister's place is well covered, so why not prepare some more food and dry grains?"
"You're right!" Grandma Xie slapped her thigh, dug out some things like paving stones, and called Xie Fei, "Xiao Fei, take out the newly harvested beans and peanuts! Also, the dried vermicelli and pickled vegetables!"
Xie Fei was ordered around by Grandma Xie and ran around the house.
Cheng Yaoyao was also not idle. She reluctantly said goodbye to the little pumpkins - a row of ten little pumpkins were piled under the kitchen window sill. The little pumpkins of various shapes had yellow skin and were so cute.
These small pumpkins were planted by Cheng Yaoyao himself. I don't know if it was the spiritual spring water that caused the pumpkins to mutate, or if it was the wrong variety, but the pumpkins that grew out were very small, but they tasted very soft, sticky and sweet. Each small pumpkin also had its own number. Small 6 was given to the director of the fertilizer factory, small 12 was broken by Qiangqiang and given to the lamb mother and son, and he ate small 2, small 5 and small 7 at home, leaving ten pumpkins.
Cheng Yaoyao warned Xie Zhao earnestly: "Don't let Jianjian dig it up, I still want to keep Xiaoyi as a seed for next year."
"Don't dig up the tomato vines. They can still produce another crop of fruit."
"Jianjian can only eat two of the dried fish I made every day, so eat them sparingly."
"I haven't put away the lotus root starch I made yet. Bring the bottles here so I can put them away."
Before they knew it, the yard was full of traces left by Cheng Yaoyao.
The lotus root powder made that day had already precipitated into powder. After drying, it was ground and sieved with gauze to become snow-white and fine lotus root powder. Three and a half pounds of lotus root can only produce two ounces of lotus root powder. That day, five pounds of lotus root powder were made. Cheng Yaoyao carefully put the lotus root powder into the jar. Some lotus root powder was spilled on the ground, and the chicks swarmed over to peck at it.
Cheng Yaoyao looked at the tender yellow chicks and said sadly, "I hadn't finished sucking them when they were the cutest. When I came back, they had all grown up."
Xie Zhao said: "When the time comes, we will catch new ones and raise them."
"Yeah!" Cheng Yaoyao was excited again, and chattered to Xie Zhao, "The director said it was filmed in a famous garden in Suzhou, and we can go visit. Suzhou's wontons are famous, and there are also cakes and silk, which we can bring back for grandma and Xiaofei."
Xie Zhao said, "I won't go."
"Lion Forest is the most fun, there are so many lions..." Cheng Yaoyao continued to talk out of habit, then realized belatedly: "What did you say?"
Cheng Yaoyao suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao held the pottery jar and helped Cheng Yaoyao to scoop up the lotus root powder. His narrow eyebrows were drooping, and no expression could be seen: "Sister, I won't go this time."
Cheng Yaoyao stood up quickly, and the pot was overturned. Xie Zhao caught the pot in time and looked up at her.
Cheng Yaoyao was completely furious. His peach blossom eyes, which had just sparkled, turned red again, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on: "You...you let me go alone?"
Xie Zhao sighed inwardly, put the can aside, and explained, "You are not going alone. You are going with the crew, it is safe."
Cheng Yaoyao took out the train ticket from his pocket, only to find that there was only one ticket. Xie Zhao had already made plans.
Xie Zhao added, "There is a makeup artist accompanying you. You stay with her and she will take care of you. I will not see you off as I have many things to do this year."
Xie Zhao's words made sense, and since he was younger than her and very busy, she was leaving with the crew, so there was really no need for him to go all the way to see her off. But Cheng Yaoyao just felt a sour smell rushing up her nose, completely dispelling the joy of filming the movie.
"Hmph!" Cheng Yaoyao expressed his anger with just a few words, then turned around and ran back into the house.
Grandma Xie and Xie Fei were busy packing up, and no one noticed that Cheng Yaoyao was angry. Going on a long trip, and going to Suzhou at that, was such a big deal that the whole family was busy.
Grandma Xie remembered what Xie Zhao said about bringing more food, so she took a big bag and put dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, fruit jam, mushroom jam, and various imported canned meats in it. Because she didn't know how long Cheng Yaoyao would stay in the crew, she also brought more than ten kilograms of rice, beans, and vermicelli, saying that if the crew didn't have enough to eat, they could cook porridge in the dormitory.
Xie Fei reminded: "What if my sister doesn't have a pot?"
Grandma Xie slapped her thigh and said, "Yes! Where is our small clay pot? Bring it here!"
Xie Zhao rubbed his forehead and said, "These heavy utensils can be bought there. It's better to bring some light specialties."
Grandma Xie then put down the pot and said, "Zhao Ge'er is right. We need someone to take care of us when we are far away! Go, I have to pack up the dried mushrooms and vegetables that I dried this year. Fortunately, there are more vegetables this year, so I dried a lot of them!"
After being busy until the afternoon, Grandma Xie sorted out two large bags, wiped her sweat and said, "These are enough to take care of the crew. This is for the director, and the others also need to be taken care of, asking them to take care of Yaoyao. I don't know what their dormitory is like, Zhao'er, you have to clean it up."
Xie Zhao squatted on the ground, repairing Cheng Yaoyao's small suitcase, reinforcing the four corners, and said, "I'm not going."
"Ah?" Grandma Xie was also surprised, "You're not going to send Yaoyao to Suzhou?"
"Um."
Grandma Xie hit him with a rag and said, "Why are you getting angry at this time?"
"Don't be angry." Xie Zhao concentrated on his work and said, "My sister will go on the road with the director and the others, nothing will happen."
"No..." Seeing that the expression on Sun'er's face did not seem to be angry, Grandma Xie asked in confusion: "Zhao'er, what are you planning?"
