At around 5:00 p.m., Xiao Baozhu and Ye Xiaotian'er went home together, and after returning to the community, Xiao Baozhu waved at Ye Xiaotian'er and said, "Brother Xiaotian, see you tomorrow!" ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at Xiao Baozhu's cute appearance, and he didn't want to leave, but he still nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Xiao Baozhu returned to Tina's house and found that Chen Lan had returned, Chen Lan was boiling water at this time, Xiao Baozhu greeted Chen Lan with a smile, and then saw a bucket of instant noodles on the dining table, Xiao Baozhu was surprised, "Sister Chen Lan, are you still eating instant noodles today?" ”

Chen Lan smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, do you think I'm willing to eat?" But what can you eat without instant noodles? There was bread, ham, and canned food in the fridge, and I was tired of eating it, so it was not as delicious as instant noodles. ”

Xiao Baozhu said, "Before we moved in, didn't we have a rule with Sister Tina, and she wanted to take care of our two meals a day? We've given all the money. ”

Chen Lan looked dejected, pointed to the refrigerator and said, "Tina, she doesn't like to cook, and the food she cooks is very unpalatable, she eats fast food herself, or canned food, bread and other things, so... You can also see that there are a lot of things in the refrigerator, and she doesn't care how much you eat, you can eat whatever you want, but she basically can't cook. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Baozhu was a little surprised, and then thought about it and said, "Then Sister Chen Lan, you can make it yourself, it's not good to eat instant noodles every day." ”

Chen Lan spread her hands helplessly and said, "I don't know how to cook, and I hate cooking since I was a child." ”

Chen Lan said, about to make instant noodles, Xiao Baozhu thought for a while and said, "Then Sister Chen Lan, let's go to the supermarket together, I'll cook." ”

"Oh my God!" Chen Lan looked at Xiao Baozhu in surprise and said, "Do you still know how to cook?" ”

Xiao Baozhu nodded with a smile and said, "My mother's cooking is very delicious, she taught me." ”

Chen Lan stared at Xiao Baozhu in disbelief and said, "I didn't expect that your parents were willing to teach you to cook, I thought you were also a young lady at home." ”

"How so?" Xiao Baozhu said with a smile, "Every year during the festival, my mother will take the three of us brothers and sisters to the kitchen to help grandma cook." ”

Chen Lan asked with interest, "Do you still have a brother?" ”

Xiao Baozhu nodded, "I have two older brothers." ”

Chen Lan put down the kettle, wiped her hands, and asked, "Then what does your brother do?" Are you in college too? At home or abroad? ”

Xiao Baozhu shook his head and said, "My two elder brothers are also abroad, but they have already graduated with doctorates and have their own jobs. ”

Chen Lan nodded, and then said with a smile, "You have two elder brothers who spoil you, but you are so happy, your two elder brothers have graduated with doctorates, they must be almost 30 years old, they must treat you as a daughter." ”

Xiao Baozhu shook his head and said, "My two elder brothers are only 22 years old this year. ”

"Graduated with a PhD at the age of 22? This is too good, isn't it, what kind of college did your two older brothers go to? ”

Xiao Baozhu said, "Harvard." ”

Chen Lan exclaimed, "Your whole family's IQ is so high!" Even if you are only 15 years old, you will be able to take the university entrance examination next year, which is really enviable. ”

Xiao Baozhu smiled.

Chen Lan changed her clothes, and then said to Xiao Baozhu, "Let's go, I'll take you to the supermarket, you come to cook, and when you're done, I'll wash the dishes, although it's not good to cook, but I can still wash the dishes." ”

Xiao Baozhu nodded, and the two girls left the villa with a smile and went to a supermarket not far from the villa.

Chen Lan pushed a small cart and followed behind Xiao Baozhu, Xiao Baozhu first bought spices, then vegetables and meat, and finally spent nearly $150 in total, which was paid by Xiao Baozhu.

Chen Lan smiled and said, "When I go back, I'll give you the money." ”

Xiao Baozhu nodded and did not refuse.

The two of them carried two large bags of things and returned to the villa.

Chen Lan washes vegetables, Xiao Baozhu skillfully chops vegetables, just looking at Xiao Baozhu's skillful chopping action, it can be seen that it is not the first time for her to cook, she is very skilled, the knife work is very good, the shredded potatoes are cut thin and thin, and two chili peppers are cut.

Xiao Baozhu first steamed a pot of rice, then stewed tomato and beef brisket soup, fried a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of sour and hot shredded potatoes, a plate of back to the pot meat, and a boiled pork slices.

Bringing the fragrant dishes to the table, Chen Lan looked at the dishes in front of her that were full of color and flavor, and couldn't help but praise, "Baozhu, you are really amazing!" ”

Xiao Baozhu smiled, filled two bowls of white rice, handed one bowl to Chen Lan, and took two empty bowls and two bowls of soup for himself.

Chen Lan couldn't wait to start picking up rice in her mouth, as if she had been hungry for a long time, while Xiao Baozhu drank half a bowl of soup before starting to eat.

Although Xiao Baozhu is young and slender, he doesn't eat a lot, and he directly eats two bowls of rice, but no matter how much Xiao Baozhu eats, the four dishes were eaten cleanly by the two of them, and after eating, Chen Lan lay on the sofa with a satisfied face and touched her round belly and said,

"I'm so happy, it's still delicious H national food, and when I graduate from college, I must return to China."

Xiao Baozhu went upstairs, took out a pot of tea from his suitcase, made a pot of tea, and then brought Chen Lan a cup and a cup for himself.

Chen Lan was pleasantly surprised, "Baozhu, I didn't expect you to bring tea?" ”

Xiao Baozhu said with a smile, "Our family likes to drink tea very much. ”

Chen Lan took a sip and felt that her lips and teeth were fragrant, which was better than the tea she had drunk before, and after slowly drinking the tea, Chen Lan consciously went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Just when Chen Lan was washing the dishes, the door was opened, Tina came back, and as soon as she entered the door, she smelled a smell of food in the room, Tina frowned instinctively, and then walked into the living room, and saw Xiao Baozhu sitting in the living room, watching TV and drinking tea, while Chen Lan was brushing pots and washing dishes in the kitchen.

Xiao Baozhu saw that Tina was back, and greeted Tina with a smile.

Tina's expression was a little cold, nodded and said, "Did you cook?" ”

Xiao Baozhu smiled and nodded, "Yes, you can't eat bread every day, ham, right?" ”

Tina took it for granted and said, "What's wrong with eating ham and bread?" And isn't there a canned food in the fridge? If you want to eat vegetables, you can eat canned food, you see because you stir-fry, the whole house is filled with a smell of vegetables, it smells so bad......"

The smile on Xiao Baozhu's face disappeared, although Xiao Baozhu has a gentle temperament, he is not completely out of temper.

Xiao Baozhu said directly, "Sister Tina, when we signed the contract before, you promised two meals a day. Tina said confidently,

"I promised, so I bought a lot of things and put them in the refrigerator, you can eat as much as you want, I don't limit the amount of food you eat, you tell me when you're done, I'll buy it again."

Xiao Baozhu pursed her lips and said a little unhappily, "But you can't let us always eat raw and cold food, right?" ”

Tina was also a little unhappy, "I eat like this myself on weekdays, what do you want to eat, you tell me, are you tired of eating canned beef?" Why don't I change the canned sardines for you next time? ”

Xiao Baozhu took a deep breath, and then said, "Sister Tina, it's okay to eat canned food occasionally, it's not good for your health to eat it often, so I hope you can cook for us, otherwise, I hope you can return our living expenses to us, and we can buy and cook our own vegetables, okay?" ”

"Of course not." Tina didn't back down, "We signed a contract before, and I will take care of your two meals a day, as well as three meals a day on weekends, and I have the final say, you can't cook for yourself, because I don't like the smell of food floating in the house." ”

Chen Lan saw that Xiao Baozhu and Tina were about to quarrel, so she hurriedly ran over, stood beside Xiao Baozhu, and said to Tina, "Don't be angry first, let's talk about it." ”

Tina insisted, "This matter is non-negotiable, you are not allowed to cook without my permission in my house, and you can eat as much food as you want in the refrigerator." ”

"But Tina." Chen Lan persuaded with good words, "If we often eat raw and cold food, our stomach will be sick, our body will be unhealthy, and you will be responsible for our health." ”

"Honey, you're worrying too much, I've been like this for so many years, do you think I'm uncomfortable? I think you people from country H are too squeamish, and since you have come to country M, you have to abide by our rules here. ”

With that, Tina turned and went upstairs.

Xiao Baozhu looked at Chen Lan, "Sister Chen Lan, how long have you been living here?" ”

Chen Lan sighed, and then said, "It's been more than half a year. ”

Xiao Baozhu was surprised, "You really have been eating instant noodles, canned food, bread, and ham for most of the year?" ”

Chen Lan nodded helplessly and sighed, "No way, our family's conditions are not particularly good, in order to allow me to study abroad, my parents took out all the old bottoms." ”

"When I signed the contract, I paid a one-time payment for a year, and if I left early, Tina wouldn't have returned the money to me, so I had no choice but to continue living."

Xiao Baozhu said, "Then you didn't find an intermediary company?" They should defend your interests. ”

Chen Lan shook her head and said, "I called them, but the contract only said that Tina would eat and live, and it didn't say that she had to cook for us." ”

Chen Lan patted Xiao Baozhu on the shoulder, "Okay, don't be angry, when we live here for one year, we won't live here for the next year." ”

Just moved in, Xiao Baozhong didn't want to find trouble, although he was a little depressed, he still nodded, but thought in his heart, is there any way to improve their current situation.

Before going to bed at night, Xiao Baozhu received Ye Xiaotian's WeChat.

"Baby, are you sleeping?"

The baby is Xiao Baozhu's nickname, although now that she has grown up, there are not many people who call her nickname, but when she was a child, Ye Xiaotian often called Xiao Bao Jewelry, and sometimes when she sent WeChat, she also called Xiao Bao Jewelry, and Xiao Baozhu was also used to it.

Xiao Baozhu sent a voice, "I'm going to sleep, good night, Brother Xiaotian." ”

Ye Xiaotian received Xiao Baozhu's voice and listened to it several times before he whispered, "Good night." ”

On the second day, Xiao Baozhu still got up very early, went downstairs after washing, opened the refrigerator and sighed, could only take out bread, and still made three sandwiches.

Xiao Baozhu finished the sandwich before Chen Lan and Tina got up.

Tina saw that Xiao Baozhu still made her a sandwich, and her face softened slightly.

Chen Lan held a sandwich in one hand and a schoolbag in the other, and went out with Xiao Baozhu.

Ye Xiaotian was still waiting for them at the intersection not far from the villa, Ye Xiaotian saw the sandwich in Chen Lan's hand at a glance, Ye Xiaotian asked Xiao Baozhu with a smile, "Do you feel unaccustomed to eating sandwiches every day?" ”

Chen Lan was quick and said directly, "Of course we won't get used to it, but what can we do, Tina doesn't cook, we can only eat sandwiches." ”

Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Xiao Baozhu and asked seriously, "Hasn't Tina never cooked?" ”

Xiao Baozhu told Ye Xiaotian that the owner of this villa is called Tina.

Chen Lan on the side immediately said, "Of course, Tina doesn't like to cook, and she doesn't like the smell of food wafting in the house when cooking, so we can only eat bread or canned food all the time." ”

"How can this be?" Ye Xiaotian directly turned cold.

Ye Xiaotian looked at Xiao Baozhu, "Baozhu, what are your plans?" ”

Xiao Baozhu thought for a while and said, "I want to call the agency and ask them to come and talk to Tina about this." ”

Chen Lan said on the side, "Baozhu, didn't I tell you?" There is no way for the intermediary company to do this. ”

But what Chen Lan doesn't know, Chen Lan is just an ordinary student, and Xiao Baozhu is Xiao Zhan's daughter, and Xiao Zhan is the boss of the intermediary company.

The matter has not yet come to an end, Xiao Baozhu didn't say anything, just smiled at Chen Lan, and the three of them went to the car together.

Chen Lan called a taxi and left first, and soon the school bus of Trinity Middle School also arrived, sitting on the school bus, Baozhu picked up the phone and called Shen Ning.

Before leaving, Susie asked Xiao Baozhu to write down Shen Ning's phone, after all, she is now in country H, far away from country M, if something happens to Xiao Baozhu, she can't come over in time.

As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Ning answered the phone, "Hello, is it Miss Baozhu?" You called me, is there something wrong? ”

Shen Ning was very enthusiastic, Xiao Baozhu told Shen Ning about the matter, and then said, "I hope you can communicate with Tina, we don't have the habit of eating raw and cold food all the time in our country, and he doesn't allow us to cook by ourselves......"

Shen Ning listened, and her heart was a little drumming, after all, Tina's family was what she was looking for, if something happened, the boss would not have to trouble her!

Shen Ning immediately said, "Miss Baozhu, don't worry, we will send someone to contact Tina and do her work." ”

Xiao Baozhu nodded, "Okay." ”

Ye Xiaotian, who was sitting on the side, praised, "It's right to do this, if you are wronged, you can't hold it back." ”

Xiao Baozhu smiled and nodded.

At lunchtime, Xiao Baozhu received a call from Shen Ning, "Miss Baozhu, we talked to Miss Tina, she still doesn't agree to cook at home, but she agrees to return the money, and then I will help you find a host family, do you think you live in Tina's house?" Or can I help you find another one? ”

Xiao Baozhu sighed when she heard this, she didn't expect to move out after only living in Tina's house for two days.

But the issue of cooking is a matter of principle, Xiao Baozhu quickly made a decision and said to Shen Ning, "Then return the money, I agree to move out." ”

Shen Ning immediately said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a good home next time." ”

Just when Shen Ning was about to hang up the phone, Xiao Baozhu suddenly said, "And my roommate Chen Lan, she also wants to return the money, you can talk to Tina again, Chen Lan has been eating raw and cold food for more than half a year, which is very bad for her health." ”

When Shen Ning heard this, he naturally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll discuss it with her again." ”

Xiao Baozhu hung up the phone, and then called Chen Lan.

"What? Did she really agree to give the money back? ”

"yes." Xiao Baozhu nodded with a smile, "Sister Chen Lan won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" ”

Chen Lan smiled and said, "How come? I don't want to live in Tina's house anymore, and it's my own idea to get my money back. ”

Xiao Baozhu said, "Then I'll ask the intermediary to help Sister Chen Lan find a good host family." ”

"No need."

Chen Lan said with a smile, "I have a very good friend, the host family he lives in is very warm, the family is very friendly, she has invited me to live with her.

It's just that Tina didn't refund the money at that time, and I couldn't help it, and now Tina actually agreed to return the money, so I went to live with my friend. ”

Xiao Baozhu smiled and said, "That's great." ”

But soon, Chen Lan was a little disappointed and said, "It's a pity that I can't live with you anymore, I'm really reluctant!" ”

Xiao Baozhu smiled and said, "On weekends in the future, Sister Chen Lan can come to play with me!" ”

"Okay." Chen Lan said happily, "Then we will make up our minds!" ”

Xiao Baozhu hung up the phone, and Shen Ning's work efficiency was very fast.

At 2:00 p.m., Shen Ning sent a message to Xiao Baozhu, found two good host families, and asked Xiao Baozhu to go with her to have a look.

Xiao Baozhu was surprised, "Is it so urgent?" ”

Shen Ning said embarrassedly, "Miss Baozhu, because this incident angered Tina, she hopes that you and that Chen Lan can move out today, and our intermediary company has also terminated the continued cooperation with Tina." ”

Xiao Baozhu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask the teacher for a leave of absence in the afternoon, and you will come to pick me up at the school gate at 3:00." ”

"Okay, no problem."

After class at 2:45 p.m., Xiao Baozhu and Ye Xiaotian asked the teacher for leave together, Ye Xiaotian was not at ease, and planned to go with Xiao Baozhu to have a look.

The two left the school together, and Shen Ning was already waiting at the school gate in a car.

After the two got in the car, Shen Ning handed the information of the two host families to Xiao Baozhu.

Xiao Baozhu saw that the two host families were divorced single women, the first was a white mother with two children, and the second was a Chinese woman with a daughter.

The first white woman, her two children are still young, and the second Chinese woman, her daughter is 17 years old this year and is also in high school.

Xiao Baozhu said to Shen Ning, "Let's go to the second house first." ”
