CHAPTER 40

was busy until noon, and Lu Chen barely checked half of the approximate accounts. Straightening up and stretching lazily, he turned his head to look at the money around him.

The other party was lying on the table with his head buried on the table, writing his name on the paper one by one, and he looked a little like himself when he was preparing for the college entrance examination.

Lu Chen smiled and leaned over to the other party, looking at the words that were almost half a sheet of paper, crooked and slanted like a child's handwriting.

"How?" Lu Chen asked.

"It's ugly what I wrote." Qian Duoduo stopped his pen, his face full of depression, "The words in the back are okay, there are a lot of strokes in this Qian word, why didn't my mother give me a name with fewer strokes." ”

"That's right." Lu Chen remembered something interesting, and said with a smile, "Your mother should have named you Wang Yier in the first place." ”

"..... Wang?"

"Wang Yier."

As he spoke, Lu Chen picked up the pen and wrote these three words on the paper.

“...... It's so ugly, I don't want to call it such a strange name! ”

"What's the strange name?"

A thick middle-aged male voice sounded in the corridor, and the two hurriedly looked behind them, the office door was pushed open, and Mayor Wu walked in.

"Nothing, nothing. We had a joke. Hurriedly explained, Lu Chen quickly got up and distanced himself from Qian Duoduo, no matter what, this is considered work time, if his boss repeatedly sees that he is deserting, wouldn't it be digging a grave for himself.

After glancing at Qian Duoduo, who had his back to him, Mayor Wu didn't say anything, handed the blank account sheet in his hand to Lu Chen, and asked, "How are the statistics?" ”

"It's almost halfway there." In reply, he handed the form he had filled out on the table to the other party.

As a result, Mayor Wu flipped through the pages, and his brows were twisted unconsciously.

"Lu Chen, how do I feel that there are more things in here than last time?"

"Well, I've added a little more to the ones who have been victims of the recent accident, and I think they must have a hard time after such a big accident, right? So I gave them more calculations in private. ”

"Hmm." Mayor Wu nodded, put away the list, and walked out of Lu Chen's office.

"I feel that Mayor Wu seems to be a little reluctant." On the way home, Qian Duoduo chatted with his lover.

"What's wrong?"

"When you said that you wanted to give more things to those victims, I felt that Mayor Wu didn't seem to be very happy."

"Didn't he speak, then let's just don't know."

Chatting, Lu Chen walked out of the alley and turned around and walked towards the west side of the road.

"Hey, where are you going?"

After walking for several meters, Qian Duoduo found that the person who had been walking behind him was gone, and he looked around only to find that the other party had gone in the opposite direction to himself.

Trotting a few steps to catch up with the other party, Qian Duoduo tugged on Lu Chen's clothes and asked, "The direction of going home is not this side." ”

"That's not the direction to my house." At the end, Qian Duoduo added another sentence.

"I'm going to buy some sesame pancakes, haven't you liked to eat that lately! And you can't go to your mother's place empty-handed. ”

“....... Whatever you want. ”

"What's the matter, it's your home." Lu Chen smiled and rubbed the other party's hair, grabbed the other party's shoulders and walked towards the noodle shop on the street.

"Hey, you're here again."

In front of the pastry shop, you can see the stalls in the distance, where the heat rises repeatedly, and the smell of wheat that is exclusive to the pasta spreads in the air when you take a few steps, attracting every diner who passes by.

On the wooden table, there are two bamboo dustpans covered with thick white cloth, and one of each style of pasta is placed on the white coarse cloth quilt for those who come to buy it.

A young girl dressed in red with a white-washed apron stood behind the stall, and the quick help put the pasta into paper bags, the girl counted two black braids, and when she moved, the two braids swayed from side to side with the movements of her body, making the girl even more cute.

"Is this time here to sell pancakes or something else?" The girl greeted Lu Chen warmly, "If you burn the cake, it's still in the stove, and you have to wait for a while." ”

"Hmm.... Duoduo, what do you want to eat? Looking at all kinds of pasta, Lu Chen asked his lover beside him.

"Hmm... It's all right, why don't you buy something sweet? ”

"Sweet, there are bean buns and sugar triangles, which one do you want?" The girl asked.

"Let's have two of the same, and five more sesame pancakes." Lu Chen said.

"Okay." The girl replied happily, pulled out the paper bag, quickly lifted the quilt, grabbed two bean bags and put them into the bag, and took out two sugar triangles from another dustpan.

The people who were buying pasta in front of the stall were finally cleaned up, and the girl was on the table with her elbows on the table smiling and chatting with Lu Chen.

"Do you two really live together?"

"Uh...."

The other party's sudden question made Lu Chen a little unsure of how to answer, smiled awkwardly, and turned his head to look at Duoduo beside him. But seeing that the other party looked even more embarrassed than himself, his face was crimson, and he lowered his head and stared at his toes, as if there was some rare treasure there that had to be investigated.

"Wouldn't you live together? Look at the two of you, what's there to be shy about. The girl laughed lightly and plainly.

"Don't you think it's weird for the two of us to live together?" Lu Chen asked tentatively.

"What's weird, if you want to live together, you can live together." The girl replied indifferently.

"Wow, you're not the same as the people here, even in my world, there are three or four people."

"Oh, is it? I don't think it matters. Isn't it just a house and a bed, with firewood, rice, oil and salt? And who is not ever before. Anyway, can you tell me more about your world? Once the girl's chatterbox was opened, she couldn't hold her mouth anymore, she looked at Lu Chen expectantly, expecting the other party to fulfill her wishes.

"What more would you like to hear?" I feel that the baked cakes I want to buy have not yet been baked yet, and I am idle if I am idle, anyway, it is better to chat and pass the time Lu Chen, who has nothing to do, agreed to the other party's request.

"Well, I remember last time you said that all the girls there like to dye their hair in all colors, and no one will think it strange when they go out?"

"No, people think it's commonplace, it's just that the occasional color attracts a surprised look or two. For example, pink, green, blue. ”

"What, someone else dyes that color?!" The girl glared, clasped her hands together and covered her mouth wide open in surprise, "Those people are so bold. ”

Lu Chen didn't speak and smiled, thinking in his heart that he was really still a person with the ideas of the old era, no matter how open he was, it seemed that he still couldn't escape the traditional worldliness.

"I wouldn't dare to dye that color." The girl touched her thick braids and asked, "Are they dressed differently than we do?" ”

"Well, our girl has a lot of clothes. Skirts, pullovers, all kinds of them, you can't see them. ”

"Wow, I'm so envious." The girl's eyes lit up with envy, and she imagined outlining the beautiful clothes that the other party said, "I really want to go to your city to see." ”
