Chapter 386: Sweet Cohabitation
What is it like to see another self working hard?
Chen Xiaoxi is in the process of experience!
Zhu Beini has been out of office for more than a week. In the past week, Zhu Beini got up early and worked very hard.
Chen Xiaoxi, who positioned himself as a logistics officer, also got busy.
Chen Xiaoxi, who insisted that heating in winter depended on shaking, saw that Zhu Beini was wearing cotton home clothes and her hands were cold, so he did not hesitate to buy a 3,000-watt high-power electric radiator after work one day to expel the damp and cold in the southern winter.
At the same time, don't forget to show off happily: the second-hand bought on Xianyu is 9 percent new, which is equivalent to 3% off the original price!
Three meals a day are also well arranged. Buy good ingredients and stew them in a pot for dinner the day before; In the morning, the bread was baked, the jam was spread, and the milk was heated, and at noon, Zhu Beini was instructed to cook the leftovers with the messy soup.
At the same time, do not forget to promote the food culture and tradition in Shanghai: the pickled rice is all high-end, and the average person eats soy sauce pickled rice. Ah, of course it was before.
Zhu Beini's socks and underwear were embarrassed to throw the washing machine through his hands. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoxi is very generous and calm in this regard, and he will not have any habits in intimate clothing.
When she was tired of reading, Zhu Beini would also get up to help and dry her clothes.
Working together will give her the sweet illusion of living a small life. Speaking of which, the vast majority of girls are born with illusions about married life.
On this day, Zhu Beini was smiling shyly and handing Chen Xiaoxi a small piece of clothing for him to clip up, but she was extremely horrified to find that the bra was twisted by the washing machine and the underwire was deformed.
Does it feel like my heart is dripping blood?
Is there a way for this Triumph to cost 420 yuan!
It was Zhu Beini who made up her mind several times before she closed her eyes and bought it back ruthlessly!
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiaoxi looked at Zhu Beini's stiff expression and asked with concern.
"Nothing." Zhu Beini was weak.
In order to prevent future troubles, after thinking about it, it is still necessary to remind me: "That, the bra is actually not machine washable." ”
Chen Xiaoxi was not stupid, and immediately realized something: "Is it washed bad?" ”
"Hmm."
"I'll buy you a new one. I think beige is too plain, and it needs a little color to look good. Let's just collect all the rainbow colors! How much does it cost? ”
"One...... Three or four hundred. ”
"What?!"
Rainbow colors or something, never mentioned since.
A few days later, Chen Xiaoxi called on the way from work, and suddenly his tone became shy: "That, what size are you wearing?" ”
"What's the size...... Oh...... No, I'm embarrassed...... I bought it myself! Zhu Beini actually knew what size he was asking. How embarrassed she is to say that she is actually not big!
That day, Chen Xiaoxi, who was half an hour late, silently handed over a paper bag: "The clerk said that if it is not suitable, you can go and change the size the next day." ”
Zhu Beini silently took it. It's ancient and modern.
Hey, it's clearly not the first love, and there is no audience, but the two of them are hypocritical to the top. One spoke shyly, the other blushing.
Destroy one and return two. Chen Xiaoxi bought two colors, one red and one black.
In the evening, Zhu Beni closes the bedroom door, closes the curtains, and tries on clothes in front of the dressing mirror that comes with her closet.
The size is just right.
There is no room for camouflage.
I really don't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
Zhu Beni routinely calls her parents on weekends. Zhu's mother heard that she was now studying at home all day long, and said quietly: "You can also eat instant noodles and cook rice with an egg." Anyway, it's a review, isn't it good for you to come back and review? I can cook delicious food for you every day. Black chicken, pigeon, mandarin fish, beef, mutton, pork knuckle...... I will make it for you every day! ”
Zhu Beini hiccuped, and finally resisted the impulse, swallowing a sentence that was about to burst out: "I do change the ingredients every day......
Alas, it's a pity that the approach is so uniform that every time I look at the stew pot, I can't help but tremble.
Fortunately, Zhu's father made a negative statement in time: "What year did you really read the books you brought back during the winter and summer vacations?" Comfort and hard work are not a good thing at the same time! ”
Zhu Beini secretly hung up the phone in the quarrel between her parents and me, who did not give in to each other but were not fierce.
"Why don't you go back to your house?" Zhu Beini asked Chen Xiaoxi.
Chen Xiaoxi boiled the ingredients after work, and waited for an hour and a half to be bored, and then took the opportunity to go back and forth to the bar and make off the previous day's ledger. On weekend mornings, I lay comfortably on a rocking chair on the balcony and made transatlantic phone calls to my friends in the United States. Have a morning or lunch, take a break and go swimming. Continue to the bar in the evening to do the accounting.
Zhu Beini counted that since the day he moved in, he had not slept here all night.
"My dad doesn't like me, my mom doesn't like me, and even the rhubarb at home doesn't like me...... Truth be told, the status of older unmarried young men in the family is very low. Chen Xiaoxi complained.
Well, at this point, Zhu Beini was embarrassed to say anything and drove him away.
As for the prospective roommate who came to report after the breakup that she said before she went home? Because she was successfully redeemed by her boyfriend, she completely lost her relationship with Zhu Beini.
In order to consolidate the legal status of his roommate, Chen Xiaoxi took out half of the rent in a serious manner. Zhu Beini looked at the envelope bag containing 2,000 yuan in cash, and felt a lot of emotion for a while.
In the end, a thousand words were turned into one sentence: "How do you know it's this number?" ”
"You told me."
Zhu Beini was skeptical.
She doesn't remember mentioning to Chen Xiaoxi the amount of rent she had confirmed with her landlord, but she doesn't remember mentioning it to him because of her recent dizziness from reading.
Chen Xiaoxi pretended to be very busy, put the envelope containing money on the dining table and turned around to go to the kitchen. As soon as he withdrew from Zhu Beini's sight, he couldn't help but pat his chest to express his shock...... Oh my god, having a careless girlfriend isn't necessarily a bad thing! After all, she couldn't figure it out herself!
In this way, although it is different from the general concept of cohabitation, the days when Zhu Beini and Chen Xiaoxi lived together were staged gorgeously.
About the 13th day of cohabitation, it was a normal dinner day.
Zhu Beini spread out her "Sociolinguistics" on the wiped dining table, and said casually: "I didn't expect you to be quite patient and take care of people." ”
Chen Xiaoxi took a step back with a rag: "I've always been too lazy to take care of people...... I'm afraid that's why Rhubarb hates me, the little fish is dried on the table, and if it doesn't jump on its own, I won't help it take it down. ”
"But you seem to take good care of me......"
Chen Xiaoxi was energetic, he put the rag down, straightened his hands on the table, leaned down, and looked at Zhu Beini at the other end of the table: "I have always been unable to accept religion, but I sincerely admire the Bible." For someone like me who doesn't like to read literature, knowing a little bit about the Bible is equivalent to taking a full literature experience class.
I recall that Northrop Frye, a theologian and literary critic at the University of Toronto, Canada, did say that the Bible was "one of the symbolic sources of literature." ”
"So, what's your point?"
