Chapter 116: Gifts
"Help me make your bed, are you a boy going to do this?"
Amy hasn't been in contact with many boys, but in her heart, boys don't know how to do a lot of housework.
In addition, the two of them have a good relationship, and Mingke has helped her so many times, so she didn't even think about it, so she directly started to help him get out of bed.
However, Mingke blushed in the drowsy night.
It was only when he was very young that his mother did it for him.
Later, when he arrived in Mao'er Village, he lived in a cowshed, and he could only rely on hay for heating, and there was no quilt at all, let alone the problem of making beds.
Now, Amy was standing in his new house, skillfully tidying up where he was going to sleep next, and he felt strange in his heart.
But now that it was getting dark, there were no candles in the house, so Amy didn't notice his anomaly at all.
She made the bed in twos and threes, then turned back and said, "Okay, I'll make up for the broken parts of the house tomorrow."
Also, there is nothing to do tomorrow, we will go to the old branch secretary to open a certificate, and then go to the city to have a look, and buy you something to use and come back. ”
Amy saw that it was not early, and she didn't stay long after speaking, so she went back to the princess's house and got some cold water for him to drink and left.
After Mingke cleaned up, as soon as she lay down, she smelled the unique fruit aroma of Amy's body.
Is this the quilt she covered?
Mingke couldn't help but think of this thought in his mind, and then he couldn't settle down, and he couldn't sleep peacefully all night.
The next day, Amy was startled when she looked at the cyan in his eyes.
"What's the matter, isn't it appropriate to be covered with a quilt? Or are you not used to living in the house? ”
Mingke thought of the fragrance of the quilt, and the tips of her ears immediately turned red when she asked like this.
"You, why are you so nice to me?"
"Huh? You're my best friend, not good for you, good for whom? ”
Amy replied heartlessly and didn't think much of it.
Mingke's breath stagnated, then he lowered his head and showed a mocking smile, pressed the unspeakable thought in his heart, and followed her to the village party secretary's house.
The village party secretary was so happy that he didn't fall asleep last night because of the letter of commendation from the province, and he was as happy as seeing Mingke as if he was seeing a big ingot, and he opened two certificates without saying a word.
Because his movements were fast enough, the two of them also caught up with the car entering the city and happily went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Amy had just poured a lot of tickets when she went to Jiangcheng before, so she didn't feel distressed at all when she bought things.
She bought some food and cloth, as well as daily necessities such as basins and face towels, and she bought them all.
If it weren't for Mingke's careful thinking, Amy would have planned to take all these things from the supermarket.
Mingke followed behind and watched her look at the way she was buying, and felt a little uncomfortable.
In his heart, boys should spend money on girls, and they should never spend girls' money.
However, now Mingke really needs these things, and he has just come down from the cowshed, and he has no money at all.
He has always had a bright brain, and when he thinks about it, he thinks it can't be done.
He still has to live in the future, he can't always use Amy's, right?
So, while Amy stopped to rest, Mingke secretly went to inquire about the market, and then helped people carry a big bag and make a few bucks.
There is not much money, and he still earns it by selling his physical strength, and he knows that it is not a long-term solution.
But at least the emergency is enough for now.
Mingke knew that she wouldn't ask for the money directly to Amy, so she took the money and went to buy a headband worn by a young girl.
"Wow, it's so pretty, is it for me?"
Amy was really happy to look at his carefully selected headband, but didn't ask him where he got the money.
This is also the tacit understanding that the two of them have developed after knowing each other for so long, if the other party does not take the initiative to say, they will definitely not chase and ask, so as not to embarrass the other party.
After buying daily necessities and food, Amy also wanted to buy more things for Mingke.
She usually stays in Mao'er Village, and she can take food directly from the supermarket, and there is no place to use the money and tickets in her hand.
Amy knew that if she let others know that she was disgusted with money and tickets, she would definitely beat her up, but it was true.
However, Mingke stopped her directly.
"These things are enough, the bus that will go back soon is leaving, and we won't be able to catch up if we are too late."
Amy didn't insist anymore when she heard this, and the two of them returned to the village with large bags and small bags.
With so many things in my hands these years, it is indispensable to be pulled and asked.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the village, an aunt came over and asked.
"Tsk, so many good things, all bought by Xiaomi?"
Amy smiled, "Where did my aunt say, where did I get this ability, these were all bought by Comrade Mingke."
Didn't he just move to a new house, and there was nothing, so I helped take him down, afraid that he wouldn't be able to find where the supply and marketing cooperatives were. ”
Although Amy had never dealt with anyone, she knew that no boy wanted to be known that he had used the girl's money.
In fact, if she didn't know that Mingke really didn't have any income now, she wouldn't have rushed to pay, because that would hurt his self-esteem.
When the aunt heard this, she opened her mouth wide and looked at Mingke, and said yes.
"It's worthy of being praised by the big people in the province, you are really capable, these things cost a lot of money and tickets."
Amy had dealt with the people in the village a lot, and she immediately understood what she meant.
It shows that Ke used to be in the cowshed, and he didn't even have a job, how could he have money.
Auntie is afraid that Mingke will find things in the mountains and sell them, after all, the things in the mountains are usually nothing to eat, but if they are sold, they will be collective things.
Amy was about to help Yuan come back when she heard Mingke say, "Helping the factory director repair the machine saved them a lot of money in the factory, so the factory director gave me some tickets and money as a reward." ”
When the aunt heard this, she gave him a thumbs up, and stopped asking questions, because she didn't know anything about machines or anything, and she was afraid that asking too many questions would make people see jokes.
Amy didn't expect him to have the ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open, and after separating from the aunt, he kept staring at him curiously.
"What's the matter, do I have flowers on my face?"
Amy smiled and shook her head, "No, I just think it's magical." You've always looked very serious, but I didn't expect it to be so cute. ”
"Yes...... Lovely? ”
Mingke didn't understand what Amy's logic was all about, but she didn't bother with her.
The two of them entered the house with the newly bought things, and together they decorated the house, and finally gained some popularity.
"Okay, go down to the mountains and pick up some firewood, and you can cook and eat in the evening."
When Mingke heard this, he immediately thought of the feeling of everyone having dinner together yesterday, and his heart was alarmed.
"Ahem, can I eat with you, in fact, I don't know how to cook, I'm afraid of ruining the food."
"Can't cook?"
Amy looked at him in surprise, because when they were in the cowshed before, they ate the things that needed to be cooked, and Mingke had always been making them, and they tasted pretty good.
So, it occurred to Amy that he might not be able to make a bed, but never thought that he would not be able to cook.
Mingke's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he nodded.
"Well, I really won't do it."
"And how did you eat it on it before?"
"It's just roasted and eaten, and some can be eaten raw, just gnaw it directly."
Mingke said very seriously, Amy couldn't be suspicious at all, and immediately patted her heart and said, "Then I'll go back and talk to Grandma Wang to see if we can eat together." ”
Mingke nodded.
"Well, I'll bring something to eat."
Amy thought of the situation of the princess's family, did not refuse, and readily agreed.
When she brought the words back, Mrs. Wang immediately said to let Mingke eat with them.
"The kid was so old when he came to the village, and I remember that he had a good relationship with Xiaojun before, and Xiaojun said that he was a capable person.
Leaving his family at such a young age, alone in this village, and still living in the cowshed, I feel pitiful when I think about it, so let him come and eat with us in the future. ”
In Mrs. Wang's opinion, it is good for Mingke to stutter on weekdays, and it is normal for him not to be able to cook.
In the whole room, only Niuniu blinked, a little confused and puzzled.
When everyone was busy, she ran to Mingke's house.
"Big brother, why did you lie to Sister Mi that you can't cook, is it because you want to eat soft rice?"
Niuniu didn't quite understand the meaning of this word, but I had heard the villagers say it before, and it happened to be a man who went to someone else's house to eat, so she picked it up and used it.
Mingke's face turned pale, and he replied seriously, "I really don't know how to cook, and didn't I bring rabbit meat with me yesterday?" ”
Niu Niu tilted her head and thought about it, thinking it made sense.
"That's right, my grandmother said, now that meat is expensive, I can't buy it, and that rabbit meat can be exchanged for a lot of food."
Mingke breathed a sigh of relief after explaining Niu Niu, he didn't want Amy to think that he was really going to eat soft rice.
However, now that he had left the cowshed, he could not go to the mountains to get food as he had done before, so after collecting some firewood in the afternoon, he went to the village party secretary's house.
"Old branch secretary, look at my current situation, I can't do nothing and eat the food given by the big guys like before, otherwise if I let the province know, I will definitely take back the praise."
The village party secretary took two puffs of cigarette and nodded, "That's the reason." Otherwise, Mrs. Wang's family has no strong labor, and the assigned work can never be completed, and I can't say it, but it's not a matter to let others help me do it all the time.
When you are young and strong, you will help you with the work, and I will give you more of the work that you deserve. ”
In Mao'er Village, the village party secretary has great rights.
In addition, the atmosphere has indeed been more relaxed recently than before, so Mingke dared to ask.
Sure enough, in a sentence or two, the village party secretary gave him a way to get his work, and everyone knew the situation of Mrs. Wang's family, and no one would object.
After all, with his help, others will be able to spend more time on their own, and no one will be unhappy.
