Chapter 122: The Suburbs of Toronto

"Be careful on the road, help me ask my sister-in-law Okay, I won't go over to make trouble on this cold day." Hong Tao shook hands with Zhou Dajiang and said goodbye, watched him get into the car, and drove away.

When Hong Tao turned back to look for Zhou Xiaoli, she was already bowing to an Asian next to a car, don't ask, this is the person sent by their company to pick up the airport.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and from the airport to Zhou Xiaoli's home, Hong Tao tried to lie on the car window many times to find the surrounding landmarks, but all failed, and there were only two colors outside, white and black, the black one was the road, and the rest was all white.

"Is it because the weather is bad today so there is no one, or is there no one on weekdays?" After getting off the car, Hong Tao's first feeling is that this place is too desolate, although there are many houses with yards scattered around, but there are basically no people, it is good to see a car in half a day, this is a ghost town.

"Let's take the luggage first, let's go into the house, I didn't sleep on the plane, your broken mouth and that Zhou Dajiang actually talked all the way, tired me to death." Zhou Xiaoli looked really tired and couldn't speak.

Zhou Xiaoli's house is big in China, a 2-story independent building, in front of the house is a large yard, the courtyard wall is a circle of waist-high small pine trees, and the area of the yard alone is about to catch up with a basketball court, but Hong Tao didn't see the parking place and garage, it is estimated that it is behind the house.

As a result, Hong Tao was a turtle again, and it wasn't until he entered the house that he knew that the yard he had just passed was the backyard, because he was carrying things and Zhou Xiaoli through the kitchen to the foyer, and no one would design the living room behind the kitchen, and the guests came to the kitchen first, obviously, this is the back door.

The room was cold and gloomy, most of the furniture was covered with white cloth sheets, Zhou Xiaoli only lifted the cloth sheets on the sofa, and then shrank on the sofa without moving with a blanket, leaving the rest to Hong Tao to do.

"I said, don't sleep when it's so cold, I can't even find the bathroom, how can I clean up the house!" Hong Tao put his luggage in the middle of the living room, looked at the large living room, and was a little worried.

"I've turned on the heating, it'll be warm in a while, I've lived in your house, and I still have confidence in your ability to clean up the house, you should treat it as your house, how do you like it, don't talk to me, I have a headache and need to rest." Zhou Xiaoli really shrunk in the blanket herself, not even showing her head.

"Hey, in a foreign country, you have to be a servant when you come, what's this called!" Hong Tao complained again, but saw that Zhou Xiaoli really didn't move, so he had to do it himself.

I don't know where the heating in her room came from, Hong Tao just finished cleaning up the white cloth list in the living room, and the room was not as cold as when she first came in, and there was a trace of heat. Hong Tao said that he was not familiar with the layout of the house, it was all an excuse to be lazy, no matter how big the house was, it was also a house, as long as you wanted to find it, it was not difficult to find a bathroom, a utility room, or a storage room, as for the broom and dun cloth, there must be no one here, but Hong Tao was embarrassed to use it, as soon as this thing was opened, Zhou Xiaoli didn't plan to sleep.

Hong Tao is a little obsessive-compulsive, but it is not heavy, as long as his physical condition allows, he will tidy up the house, otherwise he will not be very comfortable staying. Now that the vacuum cleaner didn't work, he found a clean cotton cloth from the kitchen, then found a stainless steel pot to use as a basin and began to mop the floor.

"Gurgle, cluck, cluck...... "Whenever you're forced to do something you don't want to do, you think about something you like.......

This is Hong Tao's way of self-anesthesia, he took off his thick coat and pants, put on a down vest and a warm underwear, and then knelt on the floor, humming the song that Brother Yixiu sang when he wiped the floor, and began to advance one by one in the living room.

"You living ancestor! Mopping the floor and singing, I curse you! ¥@#¥! ¥@#¥! Zhou Xiaoli on the sofa finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up from the sofa with a cloak, and ran upstairs with a blanket, speaking in Japanese while running, no need to ask, there must be no good words.

"Gurgle, cluck, cluck...... Gurgle ......! Hong Tao didn't see this person, but raised his voice by an octave, and Brother Yixiu was suddenly resurrected on the first floor of the house.

After wiping the living room and hallway, Hong Tao was also tired, and he felt hungry in his stomach, he ran to Zhou Xiaoli's kitchen and rummaged through it, there was nothing to eat, the refrigerator was the same as the newly bought, and there was not even a hair in it. However, in the cupboard, Hong Tao found a small bag of flour, and now Hong Tao was happy, finally he didn't have to go hungry, as long as there was flour and salt, he could eat well and eat well, and he also found a bottle of Japanese seafood soy sauce.

Hong Tao poured the noodles into a pot, combined them with water to make a dough, and then buckled them in the pot to wake up. Then pick one out of the pot hanging on the wall, wash it briefly, then put half a pot of water on it and sit on the gas stove. A few minutes later, Hong Tao successfully found the valve of the gas stove, lit the fire smoothly, and began to make water.

While the water is still boiling, sprinkle a little flour on the stainless steel table, then roll out the dough into thin slices in a wine bottle, cut it into two finger-wide strips with a knife, and set aside. In fact, he wanted to find a panel and a rolling pin, but he couldn't find it, so he had to make do.

After the water is boiled, these long noodles are cut by hand, stretched by the way, and thrown into the pot, this is a kind of pasta in the north, Beijing is called "pulling the dough sheet", of course, if you can have green onions and shrimp to choke a pot, add some cabbage leaves or something, and then use oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, mustard diced to make the seasoning, put it in the bowl will taste better, but there is no trouble, people are hungry and eat everything is fragrant.

Lying on the stainless steel table in the kitchen, Hong Tao wiped out all the pots of noodles, as for Zhou Xiaoli upstairs, let her sleep, and if she fell asleep, she didn't know that she was hungry.

After eating a full meal at noon, smoking a cigarette, Hong Tao also began to feel sleepy, at this time the temperature in the room has come up, not only is it not cold, but it is also a little hot, but Hong Tao is too lazy to find the heating switch, the hot spot is the hot spot, he also studied Zhou Xiaoli's appearance, lying on the sofa, without a blanket, he used the sofa pillow and his coat as a quilt, and just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long Lu Dao slept, Hong Tao woke up once in the middle, ran to the bathroom in a daze, and then came back to continue sleeping, at that time it seemed to be dark outside the window. In his sleep, Hong Tao returned to the boat where he was fishing, but the boat was replaced by Yang Ke, Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian were also there, they caught the big carp in the sea, and then Hong Tao planned to release the carp, but Zhou Xiaoli suddenly appeared, took a hook, looked at him viciously and said: The fish and you only have one life, choose yourself!

"Hiss......" Hong Tao inhaled the cold air and woke up in the cold light of the hook, and found that there was indeed a beam of light shining on his face, but it was not the reflection of the hook, but the light from the kitchen.

"Good! Secretly eat eggs yourself, where did it come from! Hong Tao tiptoed to the kitchen door and saw that Zhou Xiaoli was standing in front of the stove in pajamas to spread eggs.

"Oops...... You turtle, you can't walk silently! Hong Tao's sudden appearance startled Zhou Xiaoli and almost knocked over the frying pan.

"Don't interrupt, where did you get this egg? The house is clear, why didn't I find it? Hong Tao walked over and saw that there were a total of 2 eggs in the pot, obviously without his own.

"I just borrowed it from a neighbor, this house is old and no one lives, there is no food, I forgot to buy it at the airport, it is all for you and that Zhou Dajiang to chatter, this is mine, yours is in the refrigerator." Zhou Xiaoli was like a hungry wolf, blocking in front of Hong Tao, protecting her two fried eggs.

"Cut, stingy, I'm not hungry, I've already eaten it, if you're willing to give me one of these two eggs, I'll make something delicious for you to eat, if you don't give it to me, then you don't eat it if I do." Hong Tao walked to the dishwashing sink and deliberately teased her while brushing out the pot and bowl where he ate noodles at noon.
