Chapter 007: Settle Temporarily
"Oh, husband, aren't you going to work? Who is this little brother? ”
The door was opened by Goodman's wife, Mrs. Molly, with curly black hair, well-rounded features, and an apron on her body, who looked like she was busy with housework.
"This is Brother Daya and his cat Tom, I'll talk about it later, anyway, let's help them get some food first." Goodman urged.
Molly nodded and let Goodman and Zhang Da in, poured two cups of tea, and prepared a small saucer for Tom and poured water.
"Let's drink some water first, the food will be ready in no time."
"Thank you, Sister Molly." Zhang Da doesn't remember who he heard it from, when he sees a strange woman older than him, he just calls his sister, and he can put it aside depending on the situation.
In fact, Mrs. Molly is 37 years old this year, and for a woman in this world, she is at her most domineering at this age.
After the age of forty, there is a high probability that they will be infected with a virus called 'Oda curse', and their figure and appearance will gradually change, just like a different person, and I don't know if Zhang Da can still call his sister when the time comes.
"Oh, my little brother is really good at talking!" Mrs. Molly held her face and went to the kitchen with a look of delight.
Zhang Da also sucked hot tea, and Tom also licked and drank water in small sips, it was rare for him to act like a normal cat.
"Well, Molly, she's as good as I say, right?" Goodman took the opportunity to continue to talk about how he was handsome at the time and made Molly fall in love with him at first sight.
In less than ten minutes, Mrs. Molly came out with two plates, one large and one small, and placed them in front of Zhang Daye and Tom.
"You're bragging to people again, aren't you?" Mrs. Molly ruthlessly dismantled Uncle Goodman, and said to Zhang Daya with a smile,
"I believe about a tenth of what he said! Come and try it, seafood fried rice. ”
"How can you say that......" Goodman grumbled discontentedly, muttering in a low voice, "Remembering when I was younger."
Zhang Da also thanked him calmly, then picked up the spoon and prepared to eat, in a short time, he had become accustomed to Goodman's character, this is probably an enthusiastic uncle who likes to brag.
"It smells so good!" As soon as he took a bite of fried rice, Zhang Da couldn't help but praise him, fortunately, he didn't set up any flags, and he was not an incarnation.
Tom also picked up the spoon and tasted it, his eyes lit up.
"It's good to your taste." Mrs. Molly smiled and looked curiously at Tom, who could use a spoon, and was not too surprised.
Zhang Da also ate sashimi for several days in a row, and at this time, eating a fried rice was like eating some kind of delicious food, and he couldn't stop spoonful after spoonful.
Tom's eating habits are actually very similar to those of humans, even if he has some preference for fish and birds, he still likes to eat cooked food.
While the two of them were eating, Goodman told Mrs. Molly about how he met Zhang Daye.
In fact, he went to the shore to put some water on the shore after finishing the work at hand, and then found Zhang Daye and Tom paddling on the plank.
Goodman didn't look like a bad guy when he saw Zhang Daya, so he kindly reminded him of the login location, and saw that he was not in good health and brought him back.
"Thank you for your hospitality, it's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious meal, Uncle Goodman said before that Sister Molly's craftsmanship is good, and it really comes from the heart." Zhang Da also finished the last bite of rice, and there was not even a grain of rice left on the plate.
Tom licked the grains of rice hanging from his beard and slumped on the table and rubbed his little belly with a comfortable expression.
"Oh, what a little brother is exaggerating!" Mrs. Molly covered her mouth and smiled merrily.
"It's just telling the truth." Zhang Da also stood up, and after eating enough, he felt that his strength had recovered, "After bothering me for so long, it's time for me to say goodbye, thank you Uncle Goodman and Sister Molly for taking care of you." ”
"Are you in such a hurry?" Mrs. Molly asked, "Goodman just said that the little brother wants to find a place to work, right?" ”
Zhang Da also nodded: "Well, at least solve the problem of eating first, and then think about the rest." ”
Goodman silently shook his head and said with a smile: "In that case, I have a job here that suits you." ”
Zhang Da also thought that he was going to take himself to work in the dockyard, shook his head and said: "I can't do it if I don't know how to work as a carpenter, and if I don't understand carpenter's work, I will only make trouble for you, uncle, right?" ”
"Haha, rest assured, it's not for you to be a boatman, little brother, you can't do it with a physique." Goodman laughed, Zhang Daye's small body was really weak like a little chicken in his eyes.
I'm so sorry I'm so weak...... Zhang Da also complained silently in his heart, even if he was a fitness expert in the original world, in front of this shipwright uncle, I am afraid that it is also a monster level with one punch.
As if suddenly realizing that it was not good to make fun of others like this, Goodman coughed lightly and continued: "That's the case, I look at your appearance, little brother, I feel that you have a good education, right?" ”
Zhang Da also nodded: "Before I came here, I was still a student. ”
Goodman looked at him expectantly and said, "That's great, in fact, I want to ask you to teach that stinky boy in my family for a while." ”
"Me? My level may not be as high as you think...... "Zhang Da doesn't know what to teach, and we don't know much about the knowledge of this world."
Goodman didn't care, "It's okay, just teach him literacy and simple arithmetic." ”
You may not believe it, but I have just learned the words of this world...... Zhang Da also thought to himself that it was not a big problem to just teach literacy and arithmetic, and the Goodman family seemed to be quite reliable, and it was possible to meet a black-hearted boss if they went out to find a new job.
"In that case, then bother for a while." Zhang Da should also accept it, so that at least there is a place to settle for the time being.
As for sending people under the fence or something, he doesn't have the money to live in a hotel now, does he?
……
Whoa......
Zhang Da also took a bath in the bathroom of Uncle Goodman's house.
After agreeing to be a tutor here, Mrs. Molly immediately went to clean up a guest room, and prepared a change of clothes and toiletries for Zhang Daye.
When asked about their son, Mrs. Molly said that Bayer had gone to play with Bob Sr., and asked Zhang Da to take a good shower and rest first, and then start class tomorrow.
And Goodman wanted to go back to work, and before leaving, he said that he would go back to inquire about the salary of the tutor, and he would definitely not treat Zhang Da badly or anything.
Zhang Da had no choice but to be glad that he had met a good person, and then he was a guest.
After applying shampoo to himself, Zhang Da also rubbed Tom's body into foam, and the whole cat was covered with white foam, revealing only two eyes.
I heard that the shampoo for cats is not very good, but ...... Tom is no ordinary cat.
At this time, Tom was sitting on a small stool, holding his cheek with one hand and enjoying Zhang Daye's scrubbing service.
Rinsing the foam off Tom's body, Tom shook the water, and in the blink of an eye, it was a brand new cat again.
Next, Zhang Da also squatted down, Tom stepped on a small stool, and took a towel to rub Zhang Daye's back, don't look at Tom's small size, the strength in his hands is not bad at all.
Zhang Da also enjoyed Tom's back rubbing service while looking at his sunken cheeks in the mirror.
"It's just that you don't have enough to eat for five days, can you really starve people like this?"
Because he didn't have such an experience, Zhang Da couldn't judge it, and he always felt that such a big change was really exaggerated.
"But since Tom is hungry and thin, I should be fine like this......"
Zhang Da also suddenly sensed that something was wrong, turned his head and asked, "Tom, why did you recover so quickly?" ”
