Chapter 443 Tao Tao
"We're all family, that's how we should call each other!" Xia Zhizhi said as she wanted to help Tao Tao carry his luggage.
Tao Tao quickly stepped aside: "It's okay, it's not heavy, I'll take it."
The car was just a few steps away, and Xia Zhizhi didn't bother to argue about it. She just walked in front and helped them open the trunk.
Xia Zhuoyue put the luggage away and several people got in the car. Xia Zhizhi sat in the passenger seat and gave the back seat to the young couple.
After the car started, Xia Zhizhi seemed to casually take out two bars of soap she had prepared and showed them off to Xia Zhuoyue.
"Third brother, look, my classmate sent me some soap. I wanted to give two bars to my sister yesterday, but I forgot. Fortunately, my sister is going home tonight, so I can ask her to take it back herself.
You don’t know that this is very useful for both bathing and washing hair. It also smells very good after washing. Last time, after I used it in a bathhouse, several people came to me and asked for it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough for myself, so I couldn’t share it with them. ”
Xia Zhuoyue became interested and stretched out his hand to Xia Zhizhi: "Really? Let me smell it."
Xia Zhizhi stuffed both pieces into his hands: "They both smell different, one smells like pomegranate, the other smells like orchid, they smell so good."
"It smells quite good." Xia Zhuoyue came closer and smelled it, then passed it to his girlfriend to smell. Which girl could resist the soap produced by Aju?
Tao Tao also nodded and asked Xia Zhuoyue, "It does smell good. The packaging looks a bit like the soap you gave me in the middle of the year."
"Haha, that was sent to me by our little sister." At that time, Xia Zhuoyue had not been dating his girlfriend for long, and he was still more concerned about his reputation. He was embarrassed to tell his girlfriend that he asked his sister for things for love, so he just said that he got it for her through his connections, to show that he had a wide network of contacts and seemed very powerful.
After being in this relationship for a long time, he naturally couldn't hold it back anymore and his true nature was exposed.
As soon as he saw that his partner liked it, Xia Zhuoyue immediately became a take-it-all party and said shamelessly: "Big sister has it all, so third brother should have it too, you can't be partial to one, right?"
Facing Xia Zhizhi's accusatory gaze, he saw the bathhouse sign in front of him and immediately said, "Comrade Tao Tao and I have been riding in the car for several days. We have already discussed that we will find a bathhouse to wash after getting off the car. Look at your soap. It happens to be useful to us. Let's take it as a meeting gift."
The things were prepared for them, but Xia Zhizhi asked them to take a bath. If it was only the third brother, it would not matter, he could just ask.
But as a young girl, she was shy and would probably think too much, thinking that she had stinked Xia Zhizhi. Besides, it was the first time that Xia Zhizhi met her, so she would probably be too embarrassed to ask Xia Zhizhi to help her find a bathhouse.
People in the north are not that diligent in taking a shower these days. They look for a place to take a shower as soon as they get off the bus. Others think they are too careless to keep themselves clean and only take a shower when they are tired.
Since Xia Zhuoyue brought it up, there is no such concern anymore.
Xia Zhizhi originally wanted to guide him to take a bath, and seeing that he asked, she naturally would not disagree.
After letting Xiao Zhang stop by the roadside, Xia Zhuoyue and Tao Tao searched for some clothes in the luggage. She also told Tao Tao: "Don't rush out after washing. Let your hair dry. The weather is so cold. Don't let the wind blow you. It will give you a headache."
Tao Tao nodded, a little embarrassed: "I have to make you wait again."
"It's okay, don't worry." Xia Zhizhi pointed to the bookstore across the street and said, "I'm planning to buy some books. If you don't see us when you come out, go find us in the bookstore."
When Xia Zhizhi is willing to take other people's feelings into consideration, it's easy to make people feel warm and happy.
After hearing her say this, Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the bathhouse.
It's not that the girl doesn't like cleanliness, but the sanitary conditions of green-skinned trains are so poor these days. It has been marinated for so many days that it would be hard for anyone to get used to it. Fortunately, they were sitting in sleeper berths, not to mention the seats they were sitting on.
It's cold now, so it's okay to stand in the open space, but once you get in the car, in the closed environment, you can smell your own odor.
Moreover, Xia Zhizhi smells good. She is usually marinated, so when she smells herself, the fragrance is not that obvious.
The conditions in Xinjiang are much harsher than other places. No one is willing to buy daily necessities such as soap as daily consumables. When Tao Tao first came into contact with Xia Zhizhi, he only felt that she smelled fragrant. Compared with himself, he felt as rough as a big man.
We are all girls, so we would pay attention to our image unless the conditions allow.
Xia Zhizhi strolled around the bookstore for a while and bought a few ancient books. These days, ancient books are sold as second-hand books and are quite cheap. It's really a good deal.
She returned to the car when she thought it was about time.
After returning home, Xia Zhuoyue was waiting in the car. When he saw Xia Zhizhi, he stretched out his hand to let Xia Zhizhi smell it. He even said shamelessly: "Think about it and see if you can ask your classmates to send me some more. I couldn't bear to use the ones you sent me before."
Xia Zhizhi stared at him in silence for a while before he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
After a while, Tao Tao also returned to the car. The ends of her hair were not completely dry yet, but she was afraid that everyone would wait for a long time, so she came out too.
Xia Zhizhi took out the facial cream made by Ah Ju from her pocket and handed it to her: "Sister Tao Tao, wipe your hands and face. The weather here is dry. If you don't apply something after washing, your face will be chapped."
Tao Tao thanked her and stretched out his hand. Seeing that she felt embarrassed, Xia Zhizhi simply scooped a big one for her.
Xia Zhuoyue was not shy. Seeing that there was more, he quickly leaned over with his big face and said, "Give me some, too."
Tao Tao evenly smeared the excess cream on Xia Zhuoyue's face. Seeing that Xia Zhizhi seemed to be reading a book, Tao Tao leaned over to touch Xia Zhuoyue's face and whispered to Xia Zhuoyue: "Your sister is so nice. She is so beautiful, nice to me, and nice to me."
Xia Zhuoyue talked to Tao Tao about his family members, but he didn't go into detail.
Tao Tao knew that his partner was from Beijing and that all family members had jobs, so the conditions were better than his own, but he didn't expect it to be so good that they could pick him up at the station directly by car.
What's more, my sister-in-law actually came to pick me up in person. Nowadays, sisters-in-law are pretty scary creatures. Some of them are even more difficult to deal with than mothers-in-law.
When Tao Tao found out that Xia Zhuoyue had a spoiled sister, he actually wondered in his heart, what should he do if he was bullied by his sister-in-law?
But fortunately, they are far away in Xinjiang after all, and it is rare for them to come back. They don't have much time to spend together on weekdays. Even if they don't get along well, life won't be too difficult.
Now that I have been with Xia Zhizhi for a while, all the worries in my heart have completely dissipated.
Xia Zhuoyue was a little proud: "My sister must be as good as me."
Tao Tao: ...
To be fair, Xia Zhuoyue is certainly not ugly, but he has a dark complexion and tough features. His skin is rough from the wind and sun in the frontier. But as a gay, even so, he is still handsome.
But look at Xia Zhizhi again, her skin is fair and tender, her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, her hair is shiny, and her whole body is fragrant, and the smell of money is exuded from head to toe.
For those who don’t know the situation, it’s hard to imagine Xia Zhizhi and Xia Zhuoyue are siblings. The only similarity between them that can be seen with the naked eye is their surnames.
Just like a porcupine and a pig, although they both have the word "pig" in their names, they are not the same breed at all, so the difference between them is quite small.
