Chapter Forty-Nine: Envy of Others
"Okay."
Lin Cheng had indeed not eaten hot pot for a few days, and when he heard Yu Jingyao say that he was going to make hot pot to eat, he quickly nodded and agreed.
Yu Jingyao took the broccoli in her hand to Lin Cheng to see, "It's fresh." The food here is still relatively cheap, but some meat dishes are more expensive than those sold in Wencheng. ”
"In recent years, I have rarely visited the vegetable market." Lin Cheng said very frankly.
Not long ago, he visited the vegetable market in Wencheng, and he was accompanied by Yu Jingyao. This time, before he arrived at the vegetable market, she bought the vegetables back.
"Hey, gluttonous cat, you have invited me to dinner so generously to buy groceries. Do you still have the money to get a job? The corners of Lin Cheng's lips lifted a slight smile and asked.
"For the time being."
Yu Jingyao bent her narrow peach blossom eyes, and asked with a smile: "Actually, I'm okay, anyway, there are still more opportunities to work here in Jincheng, and I should be able to find a job to make a living." ”
She looked at Lin Cheng with grateful eyes and said:
"It's you, who bought me Big Brother and clothes for me. You spend so generously, but how did you save money? ”
"I can't save it at all."
Lin Cheng's face was embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "That's why I told you on the phone and asked you to help me manage my money." ”
As he spoke, Lin Cheng leaned close to Yu Jingyao's ear and said softly: "You have already come to Jincheng, and you will help me keep my salary in the future." ”
At this time, Mu Zining was standing in the hall on the third floor of the family courtyard. She lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that Lin Cheng and Yu Jingyao had bought a large bag of things and came back after less than two hours.
Are they going to live together for a long time with such a shopping spree?
Mu Zining didn't have time to think about it. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she quickly ran to the sofa, picked up the landline phone and dialed Ning Yuanshu's number.
At this time, Mu Siyuan had already gone to work in the office, and she was alone at home, so she didn't have to worry about talking. After the phone was connected, Mu Zining said:
"Aunt Ning. …… Looking at it like that, I'm afraid that my sister Jingyao won't return to Yi City within a month or two. ”
The implication is that Yu Jingyao is very likely to stay in Jincheng for the New Year.
"Zining, didn't you go to Jincheng to work? Which hospital did your dad find for you? Ning Yuanshu's office happened to walk in two female colleagues, and she quickly changed the topic.
"Thank you Aunt Ning for your concern. I wanted to work at my cousin's big hospital, but my dad wouldn't help. No, I'll ...... Still thinking about it? ”
Mu Zining was puzzled in her heart, she was obviously talking to Ning Yuanshu about Lin Cheng. Why did this topic change and ask her head?
If she hadn't looked at Lin Cheng's military region on Jincheng's side, if she could get closer to him if she came to Jincheng, she wouldn't have come over.
Even if it is to find her a job with a monthly salary of thousands of dollars, she disdains to do it.
In Wencheng, she can also eat delicious meals cooked by her aunt. But when she came to Jincheng, she had to learn to cook under the supervision and teaching of her father.
Cook the rice hard, and her father frowned and wanted to reprimand her.
If the rice is boiled thin, her father said that he has no appetite when he sees it.
Within two days, her father simply took over the work of cooking and stir-frying.
I don't even teach her anymore.
After Mu Zining hung up the phone with Ning Yuanshu, she ran to Aunt Zhou's house. Lin Cheng and Yu Jingyao bought a lot of items, and told Aunt Zhou truthfully.
She whispered to Zhang Zhizhi:
"Aunt Zhou, I'll go and help my cousin pick vegetables first, she seems to have said that she wants to have a treat."
Zhang Zhizhi knew about Lin Cheng and Yu Jingyao's purchase of pots long before Mu Zining came over. After all, the little soldiers guarding the door have told Zhou Mo.
Could she not know?
She grabbed Mu Zining's arm and said solemnly:
"Zining, you must not go up now. You must know that this afternoon was a half-day vacation specially given by your Uncle Zhou to Deputy Battalion Commander Lin to accompany his daughter-in-law at home. ”
When Lao Zhou was still talking to Lin Shengnan on the phone at her house, she knew that the daughter of Mu Siyuan's family was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With her here at this time, she can't let Mu Zining run upstairs to interfere with Lin Cheng and Yu Jingyao's two-person world.
She left Mu Zining in the hall, took peas to peel rice for her, and said:
"You took advantage of the advertising time to help peel the pea rice. Dinner is here. ”
Mu Zining knew that Master Zhou was her father's boss, and Master Zhou was especially protective of Zhang Zhi at home. So Zhang Zhizhi left her for dinner, and she couldn't find an excuse to leave, so she could only sit on the sofa obediently and peel pea rice.
At the same moment, Yu Jingyao and Lin Cheng walked to the door of the dormitory on the fifth floor with the vegetables they bought.
Yu Jingyao moved a little closer to Lin Cheng, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Hey, Lin Cheng." If you didn't go to work in the afternoon, will your salary be deducted? ”
"Yes."
Lin Cheng's eyes became deeper and he said in a low voice. As he spoke, he rubbed Yu Jingyao's shoulder with his elbow and reminded:
"Open the door, what are you doing at the gate?"
Why did this guy wander as soon as he arrived at the door of the dormitory, didn't he see that he was carrying all meat?
I don't know how to feel sorry for him.
Yu Jingyao smiled awkwardly, and quickly took out the key and opened the door. After she and Lin Cheng put the dishes in the kitchen, she went to the bathroom to fetch water and wash her face.
When she returned to the kitchen, she saw Lin Cheng busy in the kitchen. I have to say that when he peels pea rice with his slender fingers, he looks very good.
Industrious men are the most attractive.
It is also for her appreciation.
She approached the kitchen cabinet and carefully opened the bag to remove the cutlery she had bought at the market. Porcelain bowls and plates, as well as chopsticks and spoons, are placed separately in the kitchen cabinet.
When she closed the kitchen cabinet door and stood up, Lin Cheng deliberately stretched out the index finger of his right hand that had peeled pea rice, poked Yu Jingyao's chin, and reminded her:
"Next time you go grocery shopping alone, don't buy so much." Too heavy and she'll get tired.
Yu Jingyao smiled lightly and stretched out her finger to the refrigerator that was placed in the hall. said: "You bought a refrigerator, even if we can't eat a meal, we won't waste it." ”
As soon as Lin Cheng heard Yu Jingyao mention the refrigerator, he couldn't help but remember what she said about eating ice cream. But she was going to make a hot pot to eat at night, so he had to buy a few ice creams and keep them for her to eat tomorrow.
"You go to the living room and sit down for a while, and I'll go downstairs and buy something."
Yu Jingyao smiled obediently, "You go." Before Lin Cheng could walk into the hall, she hurriedly chased after her and asked:
"Do you still have any money?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng was slightly puzzled.
Yu Jingyao took out three hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them to Lin Cheng. Said:
"Take it."
