Chapter 176 Moving into the Girls' Dormitory
The two looked at each other in silence.
After getting off the car, they walked one after another, stopping and starting, and returned to the family compound.
Along the way, Lin Yiyi was thinking about how to start the conversation later.
She will start working from tomorrow.
Because she works in the canteen, the working hours are very early and she has to get up in the early morning. Today she has to move to the textile factory dormitory, otherwise she will be too late tomorrow morning.
It takes 6 bus stops from Zhao Sheng’s home to the textile factory, and about 40 minutes to walk.
Zhao Sheng took out the key, opened the door, walked straight to the dining table and sat down, gently rubbing his right arm with his left hand, using a crutch to support the weight of half of his body, which was a bit too much for him after a long time.
Seeing how tired the man was, all because he was accompanying her to buy a job, Lin Yiyi poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of the man.
She picked up another cup and took two sips, then found the unused medicinal oil from the corner of the cabinet.
"Let me rub your shoulders with the medicated oil."
The man didn't touch the water on the table and refused, "Don't bother, just rest for a while."
Lin Yiyi frowned, "Don't be so stubborn, or you'll be the one who suffers. I'll help you rub it, so you won't feel sore and uncomfortable tomorrow."
Zhao Sheng glanced at Lin Yiyi, as if he couldn't convince her, so he took off his coat and shirt and only wore a vest.
Seeing the man exposing his shoulders, Lin Yiyi rubbed her palms to warm them up, dropped a few drops of medicated oil on her hands, and began to massage his shoulders. She rubbed back and forth for a few minutes, and stopped only when she felt the medicine seep into her and cause a slight fever.
Fortunately, she wiped Zhao Sheng's body carefully every day, otherwise mud would definitely come out if he rubbed it like that.
After washing her hands, she took away the man's new clothes and gave him some old home clothes to wear to prevent the irritating smell from getting on his new clothes.
"When are you planning to move out?" Zhao Sheng finally asked after holding it in for the entire journey.
He kind of regretted not kissing her more in the past few nights, and now he couldn't find a chance to get close to her.
"After dinner tonight, I can't move all the luggage at once, so I'll just take the bedding and toiletries. I'll take the clothes when I bring you dinner tomorrow."
"good."
The man looked at Lin Yiyi intently, his voice low and revealing a hint of powerlessness.
What is supposed to come will come, I just didn’t expect it to be today.
Then, the room fell silent, and neither of them spoke.
After sitting for a while, Lin Yiyi got up and went into the inner room to tidy up her bedding, and planned in her mind what she would do that day.
It was almost noon, so I arrived at the canteen early to get my food and a kettle of hot water.
After dinner, I helped the man clean up as usual.
Because she was about to move to a new and unfamiliar environment and was worried that things would pile up and cause confusion, Lin Yiyi went to the bathhouse to clean her whole body.
She had come here so many times, but an accident happened today. Lin Yiyi slipped and fell on her butt.
Lin Yiyi was in so much pain that she sat on the ground for a long time before she stood up. Fortunately, she landed on her buttocks, which had plenty of flesh to provide some cushioning.
If you fall anywhere else like this, you'll probably get bruises all over.
Carrying the wash basket back to the staff quarters, Lin Yiyi felt that she had difficulty climbing the stairs. Whenever she raised her legs, she felt pain somewhere.
When they arrived at the door of their home on the second floor, Lin Yiyi didn't bring her keys with her because she thought Zhao Sheng was at home. She stood at the door and knocked for a long time before the people inside heard the noise.
When Lin Yiyi saw Zhao Sheng opening the door in cool clothes, she knew that the man must have been sleeping.
It's really strange that he also takes a nap.
However, when Lin Yiyi walked into the inner room and saw the scene on the bed clearly, she was so surprised that she became speechless and instantly wanted to hit someone.
He actually unwrapped the bedding she had tied up with plastic film and placed it on the bed, showing obvious signs of use.
This guy has to sleep under a floral quilt? Does he like it that much?
Just leave it to him.
Lin Yiyi fixed her wet hair and said softly, "If you really like floral bedding, I can swap with you. Do you want to change?"
The man looked at Lin Yiyi for a long time, knowing that she had misunderstood, but did not explain, "Switch."
Lin Yiyi laughed helplessly, "If you had said you liked it earlier, I would have given it to you. Now I have to tidy up the bedding again."
This quilt is different from modern ones. This one is sewn on, with small flowers on the front and white edging on the four corners.
It's obviously an old-fashioned quilt made at home.
Otherwise she would just take off the quilt cover and give it to him.
She folded, tied and packed the man's dark bedding, then helped him make his bed. Without the mattress, the bed was much harder.
You can clearly hear the sound of the bed when you sit on it.
Lin Yiyi had dinner early because she was going to move to the textile factory dormitory soon. She was afraid that Zhao Sheng would be hungry at night and bought him two more steamed buns.
It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon after dinner. Lin Yiyi packed up all her things and told him her plan, "Every day after I finish my work in the cafeteria, it's lunch time.
After that, it's time to rest. These two short periods of time are enough for me to come and take care of you. I'll bring you whatever you want to eat."
It only takes more than half an hour to drive from the textile factory to Zhao Sheng's home.
The timelines don't overlap either.
I can work and take care of people during three meals a day.
Nursing work and canteen logistics.
Two salaries, quite high.
"You decide on the food yourself."
The man had a cold expression, and his voice was low and a little hoarse due to sleeping.
Zhao Sheng's eyes were deep, he took out the handkerchief bag he had prepared in advance, handed it to the woman, and said calmly: "This is a week's meal ticket, including yours and mine.
This month when you first start working, if you don’t have meal tickets, you can use mine. The old rules apply, and the accounts will be recorded as usual.”
This way he can always be aware of her daily affairs.
The man was very considerate of her meal, and saved her the embarrassment of asking for it. Lin Yiyi was grateful and smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
It would be best if I could be friends with him in the future.
But having had a strange relationship, it would probably be difficult.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Yiyi said goodbye to Zhao Sheng, put on her bedding and picked up her toiletries and walked out the door.
Only after her footsteps disappeared in the corridor did Zhao Sheng stand up and walk to the hallway.
I watched Lin Yiyi's back in the yard downstairs getting farther and farther away until it disappeared.
The bedding is not heavy, the two items together weigh less than ten pounds. The toiletries are negligible except for two enamel basins which are a little heavy.
We squeezed onto the bus and arrived at the textile factory.
At this time, there are people everywhere. It is the rush hour for people going home from get off work. The girls’ dormitory building was quiet and empty in the morning, but now standing downstairs, Lin Yiyi can feel the hustle and bustle inside.
I went up to the second floor and found the door was not locked. I guess the female comrade living there was in the room.
Lin Yiyi knocked on the door twice, then pushed it open and walked in.
Zheng Xiaoke, who was having dinner and chatting with Liu Lamei in the room, saw the person coming in and asked in confusion, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm the new canteen logistics guy, Lin Yiyi."
Lin Yiyi put down her luggage and prepared to go out to get a basin of water to clean the dust on the bed.
Aunt Ge has taken away all her belongings and made room for her.
The woman had almond eyes, red lips, skin as white as snow, a small face the size of a palm, but an extremely curvy figure. She wore a fashionable waist-length white shirt, Dacron pants, and a pair of black leather shoes. Every move she made was eye-catching.
Liu Lamei looked at the beautiful new comrade carefully, and when she saw the area on her chest, she frowned instantly.
It's so big, but I'm not afraid of being tired.
"Are you the one who took over Aunt Ge's job?"
Zheng Xiaoke glanced at Liu Lamei. Is it necessary to ask such an obvious question?
"I'm Zheng Xiaoke, this is Liu Lamei, we're both cafeteria employees."
Feeling the unfriendly gaze, Lin Yiyi just smiled politely and said gently as usual: "I'm new here and I don't understand many things. Let's get along well with each other in the future. You guys eat first and I'll make the bed."
After saying that, Lin Yiyi took the basin and left the house.
The two were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
