Chapter 237 Milk bread and soy milk fritters
Walking into a dilapidated community with red bricks and fruit exposed, the little girl observed the surrounding environment with great interest. Since this is a TV station to raise funds for employees, although it looks a bit shabby, but in Shanghai where every inch of land is expensive, it is An ordinary migrant worker can buy the best house.
"Dangdangdang~ This is our home~"
Climbing up to the third floor, Zhong Xiaoqin stopped at the door of the house and took out the key to show off, shaking it.
Along the way, the little girl was also used to Zhong Xiaoqin coaxing her like a child. She just pretended not to hear her, put her arms around her shoulders, and watched Zhong Xiaoqin fiddling with the door, but she couldn't open the door after a long time of fiddling.
The door of the room opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a rough face and an 'honest face' appeared opposite.
"I knew it was you who came back when I heard the movement in the fish room." Chen Yu's eyes fell on Xizhu who walked out by the wall, and he was taken aback for a moment, "Why did you bring a little girl home?"
"Her name is Xizhu. I just saw that she was dangerous on the road alone, so I brought her back."
Maybe because she was afraid of scaring the little girl, Zhong Xiaoqin suppressed the anger in her heart, and did not quarrel with Chen Yu. As usual, she put down her satchel, kicked off her shoes, changed slippers with Xizhu, and walked into the house.
Chen Yu bent down and put Zhong Xiaoqin's shoes on the shoe rack, then hung up her satchel silently, then walked in, frowned and said, "Then you shouldn't just bring children home?"
"Where can I take it with me if I don't take it with me? I can't throw it on the street!" Zhong Xiaoqin was so angry that she came up.
"I didn't mean that. I mean, if you encounter this matter, you should contact her parents or the police first. If you bring her back so hastily, maybe her parents are looking for her everywhere." Chen Yu looked at her helplessly. Zhong Xiaoqin, as a senior media worker, has also done some program reports on running away from home and teenagers' rebellion. He smiled kindly at Xizhu as much as possible, and then took Zhong Xiaoqin's arm and walked outside.
No matter how brainless Zhong Xiaoqin was, she knew that she shouldn't quarrel in front of children, so she turned her head and said with a smile: "Xiao Xizhu, please sit down for a while, sister Xiaoqin will come back after a few words with your Uncle Chen."
Sister and uncle
The corner of Xizhu's mouth raised a smile, and he glanced at the unkempt Chen Yu and the sweet and tender-looking Zhong Xiaoqin.
But there is some truth.
The door of the room was slightly closed, even though the two deliberately lowered their voices, Xizhu could still hear the general content of the dispute.
All kinds of contradictions in life are like a ball of gunpowder, which may explode on the spot when it encounters a spark.
Xizhu shook his head, wandered around the room casually, and when he walked to the balcony, he found twenty or thirty lucky cats, big and small, on the table in front of the window. Caimao waved his arm, Xizhu yawned, turned and walked towards the door.
"And your door lock, Chen Yu! How many times have I told you to find someone to change it, and you ignore it every time, and forget it when you look back." Zhong Xiaoqin said angrily. "Is it that difficult to change the lock?"
"The lock is not broken, what should I change?" Chen Yu didn't mean to quarrel with Zhong Xiaoqin, he stretched out his hand to open the door, and explained, "It takes a little skill to open it. When you turn the key, you have to go up so far." As soon as you mention it, you can open it~~ Otherwise, I will adjust it tomorrow, if it doesn’t work, I will find a master to help reinstall it.”
After a pause, Chen Yu frowned and said, "But the most important thing right now is the little girl. If you can't find out about her parents and her family, she should contact the police as soon as possible, and her family through the police."
Zhong Xiaoqin immediately denied Chen Yu's approach, as if in her subconscious, she was very resistant to letting the police know of Xizhu's existence.
Chen Yu was about to persuade him again, when he saw Xizhu walking over with his slippers on kicking, a red light suddenly appeared, and Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin froze in place. The red light in their eyes faded, and in the memory of both of them, they both regarded Xizhu as a distant relative of the other party. When they came to their senses, Xizhu was standing at the door yawning, looking at Zhong Xiaoqin sleepily. look.
"I am sleepy."
On the other side, Fanghua Street.
This is also an old town, but the rent is not cheap. Zhou Ji fell in love with a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony during the day. The room is spacious and the lighting is good. Since there are no high-rise buildings nearby, a recliner is placed outside. Insects chirping and enjoying the sunshine.
The rent of 9,000 yuan was just a drizzle of selling a few catties of gold nuggets to Zhou Ji. He handed the temporary identity certificate that he flew to Anhui Province to apply for during the day to the landlord, and then put a stack of bulging envelopes on the table.
"Five months' rent and a deposit, a total of 100,000 yuan."
The landlady’s eyes lit up, and she immediately felt relieved. She was about to reach for it, but when she reached halfway, she heard Zhou Ji laughing, “I wonder if I can live in tomorrow?”
According to the landlord's expectations, the rent of 7,000 yuan can be increased to 8,500 yuan. I didn't expect that the other party didn't counter the price when it was 9,000 yuan. Seeing this thick stack of cash, the landlord's aunt almost burst into laughter , "Yes, of course there is no problem. Young man, don't worry, I will find someone to vacate the house tomorrow and make sure you can move in."
the next day.
Wang Manni had a dull expression, and rushed towards the Misiya brand store in a sullen mood.
After so many years of hard work in Shanghai, she has lived in many places, but the one she is renting now is the most satisfying.
Even though the rent of 7,000 yuan is really difficult for her with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, plus the 2,000 yuan sent to her family every month, as well as all kinds of clothing and cosmetics that show a refined life, she will be stretched almost every month .
But because of the sunshine on the balcony, paired with a bowl of wontons worth 50 yuan and imported handmade freshly ground coffee, this petty bourgeois romance is enough to soothe all her stress.
However, a major change has taken place since the phone call in the morning.
The landlord aunt actually sublet the house to someone else without notifying her in advance, and insisted that she have to move out today!
Although I worked hard and won a customer who was interested in buying a million-dollar necklace, I still felt a little depressed when I saw the landlord's aunt.
"Nini, you are back. Have you packed your things? The new tenant is still waiting to move in." The landlady said blankly.
"Auntie, didn't we cooperate well before? Why did you suddenly sublet it?" Wang Manni smiled and apologized, "Look, I still have three months left on the lease, or I'll renew the lease." Two months?"
Wang Manni was born in sales, and after a while of hard work, it can be said that there are good things to say, and the balance in the landlord's aunt's heart gradually began to shake a bit towards her.
Seeing that the landlord was wavering, Wang Manni took advantage of the situation to chase after her, and acted with emotion and reason.
Speaking of which, she has indeed lived here for a long time, and she takes good care of the room facilities, and it looks very clean and tidy, unlike some tenants who start to wreak havoc on the house as soon as they move in. The landlady sighed softly and said, "Look now How has the house price increased? How can I rent it to you at the original price? How about this, the rent has risen to 9,000, and I will refuse it, so that I can save a lot of worry when renting it to you. "
The rent of 7,000 rose to 9,000, which means that nearly 70% of her income will be used to rent a house. Even if she got a prospective user with an order of one million today, the clothes of the other party are very ordinary. It's not a definite number yet.
The most important thing is that such a big family is not encountered every day, and her average monthly income is about 15,000.
Is it really worth spending an extra two thousand yuan for that ray of sunshine?
Wang Manni looked back at the orange light falling on the balcony, nodded, forced a smile, and said with a wry smile: "Nine thousand. That's nine thousand."
The two re-drafted the contract, and Wang Manni felt that her heart was bleeding when she saw that there were only three-digit deposits left in the mobile bank.
"Okay, Nini, you can live here with peace of mind. I'll go downstairs and wait for that young man. His cell phone has been dropped. I made an appointment yesterday and will come over later."
The landlord’s aunt packed up the new contract, and not long after she came downstairs, she saw Zhou Jishi walking from the intersection.
Knowing that the landlord wanted to go back on his word, Zhou Ji's eyes turned cold, and his gloomy gaze made the landlord a little creepy.
Collecting the rent and deposit returned by the landlord, Zhou Ji didn't quarrel with her. After asking the reason, he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the balcony kitchen, and averted his gaze lightly.
Zhou Ji didn't have the arrogance to kill the whole family if he didn't agree with each other, but he wasn't a pure white lotus.
Turn around and walk out of the community, hailing a taxi.
Bang ~ sound.
Zhou Ji closed the car door.
Wang Manni fell to the ground, staring dumbfounded at the suddenly broken water pipe and the socket that was splashed by strong water pressure and started to smoke and spark everywhere.
"Hiss~ Is this a trip?"
Noticing the sudden extinguishing of the lights in the neighborhood behind, and the crowd of onlookers who suddenly approached, the taxi driver couldn't help but lean out the window and look back.
"It's an old community, and the water pipes haven't been remodeled yet. It's normal to encounter some accidents, as long as no one is injured." Zhou Ji smiled faintly, raised his eyes and said: "Master, take me to the Grand Hyatt Mansion .”
The streets are full of traffic, Zhou Ji sees the bustling crowd outside, and resists the urge to cover the whole Shanghai with his consciousness and search for Si Teng's traces. Since he promised not to use extraordinary power to find her, he must abide by the rules and accompany her to finish this about The game of fate.
Spread out your palm, and slide out a human face pendant from your sleeve.
In the world of Immortal Sword, because of his intervention, Sedum's jade pendant was not snatched away by the mysterious person, but when he went to the God Realm, it was taken back by Xi Yao together with the half piece that Tang Xue saw. .
Maybe it was as a thank you, or maybe it was guessed that Zhou Ji needed it more, so before everyone left the heaven, Xi Yao gave Zhou Ji the pair of human face pendants, and now one is with him and the other is with Si Teng.
TV station family community.
With all the monster power restrained, Xizhu was really sleepy last night when he used the power of the red umbrella one after another. When he woke up, the sky was already bright. Zhong Xiaoqin just took off his clothes from the balcony at this moment, and it was not too late After tidying up, I saw Xizhu come out of the bedroom kicking his slippers. He couldn't help showing a smile, put down the clothes beside him and said, "Xiao Xizhu, are you awake? Go wash up, get ready for breakfast."
"Have a meal."
It has been more than a thousand years since the last time I heard this word.
Involuntarily, that flat face appeared in his mind, Xizhu's originally cold and arrogant expression softened quietly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
No matter how many tricks you have, you will never recognize me.
"Wow~Xiao Xizhu smiled~" Zhong Xiaoqin ran towards her with a look of surprise, regardless of her cold and disdainful expression again, put her hands on her shoulders, swayed the penguin step from side to side, and pushed her towards the bathroom.
The bread machine jingled softly, Zhong Xiaoqin set the tableware, and shouted to the fish room, "Chen Yu, it's time to eat."
Last night Zhong Xiaoqin drove him to the fish room, allowing him to realize his wish to live with the fish and tidy up the bedding on the camp bed.
Chen Yu walked around the fish tank, rummaged through the clothes Zhong Xiaoqin had collected, found his own clothes, picked them up alone, and put them in the closet.
Zhong Xiaoqin has gotten used to Chen Yu's 'selfishness', so she just pursed her lips and didn't say much, but pulled Xizhu to sit beside her, and said softly, "Xiao Xizhu, sister Xiaoqin doesn't know you What do you like to eat, so I prepared milk and eggs for you."
Xizhu looked at the two servings of milk on Zhong Xiaoqin's side, and the soy milk fritters in front of Chen Yu.
I feel more and more that this couple is really interesting.
"Are you like this every day?" Xizhu's cold eyes were full of searching.
Zhong Xiaoqin thought that Xizhu misunderstood that she was accommodating her, and said gently: "Your Uncle Chen likes soy milk fritters, I like milk bread, we are always like this, if you don't like drinking milk, I will prepare something like Uncle Chen's for you tomorrow." Is it good?"
Xizhu shook his head, pushed the egg to Zhong Xiaoqin, picked up the milk and drank it in small sips.
In the past, at such a breakfast time, the two of them must be swiping their phones, and they might not say a word, finish their meal quietly, and then go to work separately.
But now suddenly there is a little girl in the family, who was entrusted by the other party's distant relatives to take care of them, and the communication between the two is much more than before.
"By the way, I didn't come to tell you too late yesterday. The station has arranged for me to go on a business trip for the next two days." Chen Yu glanced at his phone and said hesitantly, "You have to go to work during the day, why don't you send Xiaoxizhu to your parents?" Take care there."
Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head and said: "Then it's better to take her to our company, anyway, Xiao Xizhu is so good~ I can take care of her conveniently."
"With your mindless appearance, you two may take care of the other." Chen Yu showed a rare smile, Zhong Xiaoqin rolled Chen Yu's eyes, made a grimace and said, "You are not brainless, you are neither , and not happy."
While joking, the two still had milk bread and soy milk fritters for breakfast, but in the process there was a long-lost harmony.
(Explanation in advance: Sito will be the main perspective at the beginning of this volume. Only in this way can the plot be cut into the plot reasonably. Zhou Ji's scenes are interspersed in it, and then gradually intensified)
