Under the dim candlelight, a young couple was busy by the stove, the steam rising reflected two happy faces.
The oil-splashed noodles were so delicious that Zhang Weifang couldn't help but eat half a bowl more. In the end, she had to exercise before falling asleep.
The cold winter was exceptionally long, with strong north winds and heavy snow. When I woke up the next day, the snow on the ground was already two centimeters thick.
When the curtain was opened, cold air blew in immediately. Zhang Weifang shivered with cold. She lowered the curtain and put on a leather jacket over her cotton jacket.
The leather jacket was exchanged by Zhang Weifang in the system. It is very soft, waterproof and windproof, making it perfect for wearing on snowy days.
Li Hongru had cleaned the path in the yard before going to work, but it was now covered with heavy snow again.
Zhang Weifang put on rabbit leather gloves and started sweeping the yard with a large broom. The cement paved area was quickly swept, and the vegetable field was covered with soil and did not need to be swept.
There were two piles of snow. Zhang Weifang used a shovel to shovel the snow into a basket, then carried the snow out and piled it in the garbage dump outside.
By the time all these tasks were done, two hours had passed. Looking at the clean yard, Zhang Weifang was in a good mood.
Now the only thing left to clean was the roof of the bungalow. The roof was very high and Zhang Weifang felt unsafe, so he could only wait for Li Hongru to come back to clean it.
If the snow on the roof is not swept, the room will easily leak. Nowadays, roofs are made of wood and adobe, with a thin layer of cement on the outside, so they must be well maintained.
Snowy days are lucky days for children. They don’t have to go to school and can build snowmen together. Zhang Weifang has already heard the laughter and scolding from next door, and there are children clamoring for snowball fights.
They don't feel the cold or the wind, they just want to play happily.
Zhang Weifang doesn't have that childish innocence. In such a cold day, she really wants to eat hot pot. If that doesn't work, instant noodles with sausage will do.
Zhang Weifang didn't waste any time and went straight back to the house. He exchanged a bucket of braised beef noodles and a sausage at the Titong Mall.
Open the lid and pour in hot water. Two minutes later, the fragrant instant noodles are out of the pot. The ham sausage is also soaked in the soup. The noodles and sausage are so delicious. Zhang Weifang feels warm and comfortable in his stomach.
There was only one bite left. Zhang Weifang picked it up with a fork and was about to put it into his mouth when he heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted.
Today's curtains are made of a whole piece of black cloth, with a wooden strip at the top, middle and bottom. They are not thick, but they are enough to block the wind.
As soon as Li Hongru entered the door, he saw Zhang Weifang holding a fork he had never seen before, with a pile of crooked noodles on the fork, and a round barrel on the table.
The two men looked at each other and were stunned. Zhang Weifang didn't expect Li Hongru to come home before the end of get off work today. There was curiosity in Li Hongru's eyes. He wanted to know what those things were.
Zhang Weifang was startled. She put down her fork and her mind immediately called the system:
"Qiqi, what should I do now? How should I explain?"
"Host, the Yue Lao system is at your service in every aspect. It only costs 99 points to solve the problem. Do you want to use it?"
"Use it, use it, hurry up." Zhang Weifang was so scared at the moment that when she heard that the problem could be solved by spending points, she agreed without hesitation.
Five seconds later, the Yue Lao system replied:
"Host, it's okay. You can directly tell your partner about the existence of the system. He will keep it a secret."
Zhang Weifang looked at Li Hongru, paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then slowly began to explain:
"Hongru, please sit down first and let me explain it to you."
Li Hongru sat down obediently. He knew that Zhang Weifang would not harm him, so he was not worried at all.
"Look, there's a system mall in my mind with a lot of future stuff in it that I can redeem with points. This noodle is what I just redeemed."
"Weifang, there's something in your head. Are you in danger?"
"There's no danger. The system and I are already connected. We are mutually beneficial. I will earn points by completing tasks, and I can use these points to buy things. Do you understand?"
Li Hongru has a high IQ and he understood it a long time ago, but he just wanted to confirm whether there was any danger.
"As long as there's no danger, then it's okay for you to tell me?"
"Why don't you try to tell this story out loud." Zhang Weifang wanted to test whether it would work.
Li Hongru opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out. He shouted in panic, but it was useless. He suddenly became mute.
After 15 seconds, Li Hongru gasped and shouted:
"I'll keep it a secret. I won't say anything."
He shouted this sentence in a loud and urgent voice.
Zhang Weifang felt relieved now. As long as there were restrictions, it would be much more convenient for her to buy things in the future. She wouldn't have to hide it from him anymore.
"Weifang, I can't even say... "
"That's fine, just the two of us know it. We have to keep it a secret, otherwise I'll be in danger."
Hearing that there was danger, Li Hongru was so frightened that he quickly hugged the person in his arms:
"Don't scare me, don't worry, I will keep it a secret."
Next, Li Hongru also ate the delicious instant noodles. He chose tomato and egg noodles. The noodles were smooth and chewy, and the noodle soup was fresh and rich.
After the meal, Li Hongru felt that he had lost a lot. He only then realized that there were such delicious foods in the world.
Zhang Weifang also exchanged a leather jacket, a pair of suede shoes, and thermal underwear for him. Li Hongru was so amazed that he almost missed work.
In the afternoon, Li Hongru walked through the thick snow to go to work. As soon as he entered the office, Wang Yang ran over with sharp eyes:
"Hongru, your shoes are nice. Where did you buy them?"
Li Hongru had already thought of an excuse, and he said naturally:
"It's from Northeast China. My wife's relative mailed it to me."
Wang Yang looked at it back and forth several times. The short brown hair looked particularly fashionable. The base was thick and non-slip. He touched it with his hand and it felt soft and comfortable.
Wang Yang's face was filled with envy. He rubbed his palms awkwardly and asked tentatively:
"Hongru, look, can you bring me a pair? I'll pay for the postage myself, and I won't let you suffer any loss."
Li Hongru deliberately pondered for a moment before saying:
"Actually, I have another pair at home, size 41, but I'm not sure if you'd like them. They're a bit pricey."
"I want it. I'm a size 41. The price is negotiable. I'll take any price. Please bring it back to me tomorrow." Wang Yang made a reservation immediately, fearing that someone else would get it first.
"Okay, I'll bring it over tomorrow so you can take a look at it."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Hongru. We will be friends from now on."
After returning home in the evening, Li Hongru asked Zhang Weifang to buy a new pair of suede shoes in the system mall. They were reddish-brown and very eye-catching.
