Chapter 30: The Joy of Spending Money
It's time to make dinner.
Cheng Jingmo asked them, "I bought flour today, do you want to eat noodle soup?" ”
Both nodded.
Cheng Jingmo scooped two bowls of noodles, added water and formed a dough, rolled them into thin slices, and then cut them into long strips with a knife for later use.
I went and picked a tomato, some shallots, and pumpkin, and washed and chopped them together.
Only then did the fire begin, after the pot was hot, put a spoonful of lard, then put the cut pumpkin and tomatoes into the stir-fry, add salt, soy sauce and other condiments, stir-fry until fragrant, and then add water to boil.
Cut the dough into long strips, stretch them long and thin with both hands, and put them in a pot to cook.
Yu Xiangnian stood by the stove while flipping the noodles in the pot to prevent them from sticking together, while watching Cheng Jingmo's skillful movements.
She's a southerner, she doesn't know how to make pasta, but she can eat it!
After more than ten minutes, the noodles were cooked.
Cheng Jingmo took three large bowls, put chopped green onions in them, and shoveled the noodles in the pot into the bowl, and a bowl of noodle soup was ready.
The three of them sat at the table of the Eight Immortals and ate very deliciously.
"Cheng Jingmo, your noodle soup is as delicious as the one I ate outside." Yu Xiangnian praised from the heart.
"Oh."
Look! This big straight man won't even say the words "If you like to eat, I'll make it for you later"!
After eating, Cheng Jingmo went to wash the dishes again.
Yu Xiangnian somewhat understood that the parents of the original owner had to marry the original owner to Cheng Jingmo.
Cheng Jingmo is excellent in his career, not to mention, even at home, unlike those men, who don't do anything with their legs crossed.
Laundry, cooking, and all housework he does, without rhetoric, and is a good man who lives at home.
There was a knock on the door, and Cheng Jingmo walked over to open the door.
Outside the door was Xiao Tuanjie, holding a brand-new basket and a small dustpan in his hands.
Xiao Tuanjie handed over the things in his hand, "Deputy Head Cheng, I've made up the basket." ”
He didn't go anywhere today, he made up the whole day.
"Why is there a dustpan?"
Cheng Jingmo knew that Yu Xiangnian liked this dustpan, but he didn't tell Xiao Tuanjie in advance, why did he make it up.
Xiao Tuanjie said: "That day, Comrade Yu kept staring at the eggs in my hand, but she didn't want them. I went home and thought about it, she might want the dustpan in my hand, no, I made one together. ”
Cheng Jingmo slandered, no matter how Xiao Lian Lian could see it, he didn't see it.
He took the back basket and dustpan, "Battalion Commander Xiao, I'm sorry for you." ”
"The next-door neighbor, what's polite, what do you need in the future, just ask."
Seeing Cheng Jingmo come in with a dustpan, Yu Xiangnian's eyes lit up, "How does Camp Chief Xiao know that I like this?" ”
"He said, you stared at the egg in his hand, and when you went home and thought about it, you should have taken a fancy to this dustpan."
"Camp Commander Xiao is so smart!" Yu Xiangnian picked up the small dustpan and looked at it, "It's so chic, I have to thank him." ”
Yu Xiangnian grabbed a handful of white rabbit toffee and was about to go out.
Cheng Jingmo didn't know why, he was a little unhappy in his heart, he said: "Neighbors, if you do this, you will be divided." ”
"You know what, I'll ask him to make up something else in the future." Yu Xiangnian said and went out.
She knocked on the door next door, and it was Liu Zhen's sister-in-law who opened the door.
I was taken aback when I saw Yu Xiangnian standing at the door with a smile.
"Sister-in-law Liu Zhen, I'm here to thank you, the basket and the little dustpan are so good." As he spoke, he stuffed the sugar in his hand into Liu Zhen's arms.
The sudden thank you made Liu Zhen at a loss for a while, holding a handful of candy, and said slowly: "What's this, it's just a basket, don't dislike the rough." ”
Yu Xiangnian said: "You don't know that this basket is very important to my family, and it will be convenient to go to the city to buy things in the future, and that small dustpan is very exquisite!" Camp Commander Xiao's craftsmanship is really good! ”
Liu Zhen was relieved to hear this, and said: "If you can use it, just open your mouth, Lao Xiao can't do anything else, this bit of craftsmanship is okay." ”
Yu Xiangnian waited for this sentence, "Then thank you first." ”
"You're welcome." Liu Zhen reacted at this time, and was still holding the candy in her hand, and hurriedly returned the candy in her hand, "If you need it, just tell me or Lao Xiao, how can you ask for your things." ”
Yu Xiangnian pushed the sugar over again, "Sister-in-law, this is for the children, it's not much, taste it, don't shirk it, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to ask Camp Chief Xiao for help." ”
The door of the house was open, and Cheng Jingmo could hear the conversation between the two.
It turns out that Yu Xiangnian is not only scaremoniding, but also has a set of nice words, just depends on whether she wants to say it or not.
Yu Xiangnian went home and took a shower, and Cheng Jingmo also took a cold shower, and then started to wash clothes.
Yu Xiangnian looked at this diligent and clean man, and she was happy, she walked out and squatted beside Cheng Jingmo and said, "Cheng Jingmo, thank you for what you gave me today?" ”
It was the first gift she received when she came here.
Cheng Jingmo didn't know what she was talking about, and asked, "What?" ”
"Lipstick!" Yu Xiangnian said, "I like it very much! ”
Cheng Jingmo remembered Yu Xiangnian's elimination method, and said dryly: "It's nothing." ”
"From tomorrow onwards, make a cup of malt milk essence for Xiaojie at breakfast every day."
After Yu Xiangnian finished speaking, he twisted his waist and went back to the bedroom happily, Cheng Jingmo washed his clothes and went back to the room to sleep.
Lying on the bed and calculating today's expenses, aside from those tickets, the money alone cost more than fifty yuan.
In the past, money was a number to him, and he was not very good at spending money, but today he felt the joy of spending money.
Thinking of today's everything, his heart is sweet.
At the same time, he can also understand why he gave Yu Xiangnian eighty yuan a month, and her salary was not enough for her to spend a few days.
Liu Zhen's house next door.
Liu Zhen put the candy on the table and counted twenty, which must be half a catty.
This kind of toffee, everyone is reluctant to give one to outsiders on weekdays, and they let children hide at home to eat.
That's so much for Xiang Nian!
She said with some unease: "Old Xiao, Comrade Yu next door gave so much sugar. ”
Xiao Tuanjie glanced at the candy on the table, "Either you don't accept it, you can still return it?" ”
"She has to give it!" Liu Zhen said, "I said that I would like to thank you for the basket and small dustpan you made for her family." ”
"Isn't this over, why are you worried so much!"
"But the back basket, isn't it our family to thank her for saving Fangzi? Why did she thank us? ”
Xiao Lian thought about it, but no!
But it's not appropriate to go back now! Give it to something else, and people will definitely not want it!
Xiao Tuanjie is a straight person, "I don't think the two of them are caring people, so they will accept it!" See what you can do to help in the future, try to help a little. ”
Liu Zhen nodded obediently and muttered in a low voice: "I feel that this Comrade Yu has changed a lot, no one paid attention to him before, but today he is very polite." ”
Xiao Tuanjie said: "I told you earlier, don't look at people with old eyes. You women just love to be calculating. ”
