She went over to knock on the door and told the owner in her hometown dialect that they were staff members who came to inspect the project team and could they have lunch here. Of course, it was not for nothing, and the money was given.

The family's surname is Wang, and only the old couple and a little granddaughter were at home. When Chi Yue said that they were from the project team, they happily invited them in.

Chi Yue asked Mr. Qiao to sit down, and then returned to the car, carried a bucket of mineral water, and gave it to the owner's little granddaughter.

When the old couple saw the clear bottle of water, their eyes lit up.

"Sit down, you guys, I'll go cook." Grandma Wang rubbed her hands, tied her apron and was about to enter the kitchen.

"Grandma Wang." Chi Yue said with a smile, "Why do you take a break and I'll cook it?"

Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment, looked at her, then looked at Qiao Dongyang, smiling, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

Chi Yue doesn't like cooking, but he knows who Qiao Dongyang is. His food, clothing, housing and transportation are outrageous. Within the scope of conditions, as his special assistant, she believes that she has the obligation to take good care of him.

Yes, this is work.

When Chi Yue entered the kitchen, she felt a little possessed by Assistant Hou.

Qiao Dongyang followed in, squatted beside her, watching her make a fire, her eyes full of laughter, "Hey, have you given me a bonus point?"

Chi Yue: “…”

With a glance at her, she stuffed the lit thatch into the stove and slowly added firewood, "How could she have such an illusion?"

Illusion? Qiao Dongyang's face was pulled down, "It's not a bonus point, why are he suddenly so kind to me?"

I brought a bucket of water to cook for her, taking the initiative, enthusiastic and careful. Isn’t this all a sign of feeling sorry for him?

Qiao Dongyang firmly believed that he had guessed correctly.

However, Chi Yue laughed after hearing this, "Don't you understand me yet? I have always been right to things and people."

"?" Qiao Dongyang looked at her suspiciously.

Chi Yue said lightly: "This is my job. I have always done this. If I don't do it, I won't do it. If I do it, I must do my best. So, Mr. Qiao, if you ask me to be an assistant, it will definitely be worth the money. You won't lose money!"

Qiao Dongyang glanced at her, stood up slowly, and looked at her with his arms.

"Assistant Chi has such a strong understanding, I believe that he can do a good job."

"Don't worry."

Chi Yue smiled and looked up at his arrogant look, "Mr. Qiao, go outside and rest. Call me if you have something to do."

Chi Yue has never done an assistant job, but she is very quick to get started, especially her psychological transformation ability, which is simply fast, and seems to be getting into the state before him. Aside from past grievances, she is a professional assistant at this moment.

Qiao Dongyang was both surprised and helpless.

"Oh!" He sighed and stared at her burning firewood. "This is quite interesting, let me try it?"

Chi Yue glanced at him and gave up her seat simply, "Come on."

This was the first time Qiao Dongyang had come into contact with a firewood stove in his life, and he never thought about burning fire.

He imitated Chi Yue's appearance and stuffed dry firewood into the stove, one after another, watching the blazing flames burning, his face was roasted red and sweating profusely, but he was very happy.

Chi Yue looked at him silently, washed rice and put it into the pot, and prepared to cook.

It is winter, and there are no fresh vegetables in the homes of the villagers in the desert.

Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and radish, which are beneficial for preservation, are generally prepared more.

There is also canned dishes, which is a local feature.

When vegetables are in season, locals will fry vegetables, peppers, onions, garlic and other ingredients together, and then seal them in canned bottles. When you want to eat, take out the vegetables in the bottle and steam them and eat them. It is simple and worry-free.

When the distinguished guest came, the old couple brought all the dishes they could take out from home to the kitchen.

Chi Yue repeatedly said thank you, then peeled the potato skins and cut them into shreds of potatoes.

When she was doing things, Qiao Dongyang watched her busy while burning the fire. Dopamine secretion was very fast. This kind of family-like warmth was very satisfying.

However, Chi Yue was a little embarrassed because she was staring at him all the time.

"Mr. Qiao, if you look at me like this, I will cut my hands."

"If you don't look at me, how do you know I will look at you?" Qiao Dongyang's handsome face was bright red in the fire, and his ears looked a bit handsome and innocent. "Besides, if I don't look at you, how do you know if you will poison?"

“…”

The poison tongue mode is turned on again.

"I won't poison." Chi Yue looked at the cutting board and said slowly: "I can spit."

"Why do you have to be so troublesome?" Qiao Dongyang snorted carelessly, "If you want to give me a saliva, you can just make it more straight--"

"Mr. Qiao." Chi Yue suddenly changed her face, which scared Qiao Dongyang.

Just as she was about to regret it, she rushed over and quickly snatched the tongs from his hand, picked up the firewood that fell to the ground and stuffed it into the stove, and then plucked it in the stove, causing the almost extinguished stove fire to burn vigorously again.

She sighed relieved, "You are prone to fires like this, do you know?"

“…is that serious?”

"Yes." Chi Yue looked at him, "Don't be distracted when burning the fire. You can't let the fire fall out. You must stuff it back immediately after falling out. The fire chamber should be ventilated. If the fire is not strong, the cooked rice will not be delicious."

"This...is a lot of knowledge."

Qiao Dongyang no longer distracted.

He looked at the fire very well, and looked at the busy Chi Yue from time to time, and his eyes became warmer.

The food was served soon.

There is no meat, only vegetarian dishes, two or three pots are put together, which looks a bit simple. Grandma Wang and his wife apologized repeatedly, saying that they were not greeting Zhou, and Chi Yue was also afraid that Qiao Dongyang would dislike him. After all, he was a young master who was raised with luxury clothes and food.

But Qiao Dongyang didn't say anything, and he tried every dish and praised it endlessly.

“It’s delicious. This one is delicious.”

Chi Yue tasted it and was a little unbelievable, "Really?"

"We robots don't tell lies."

“…”

Seeing him talking with Tiangou, he looked a little bit like him, Chi Yue couldn't help laughing.

"Who do I think Tengu looks like? No wonder." She glanced at him.

At other people's house, the two of them didn't talk much about their personal affairs, so it was even worse to neglect them. Chi Yue and Grandma Wang chatted with the old couple, looked at the silent little girl, and asked casually: "How old is the little sister?"

The little girl glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "I'm 8 years old."

Chi Yue said oh, and thought about it and asked again: "Why didn't you go to school today?"

Today is Wednesday, and under normal circumstances, the child should be in school.

"It's too far away. Every girl's family is not at ease." Grandma Wang replied.

Now there is a nine-year compulsory education. There is almost no need to pay for going to primary school. All children can enjoy basic education resources. However, the local population has passed a lot, and the primary schools in the village have long been closed. If children want to go to school, they need to go to towns worth more than ten miles.

People who have the means have moved to the city to live. Many families work hard outside and earn money to buy a house in the city or town and get out of this poverty-stricken place.

However, most elderly people choose to stay.

First, there are usually not many people in the city.

The second is that the roots are here, the acquaintances are here, and life in the city is not used to it.

Chi Yue glanced at the little girl and didn't say anything more. However, the little girl suddenly said, "I want to go to my parents' school too."

Grandma Wang looked at her and her tone became sharp, "It's hard for your parents to support your brother. You're going, what to eat, who will support you?"

The little girl curled her lips, as if she wanted to cry, but she endured it again, and counted rice in the bowl with her head hanging down and she was counting rice to eat.

"Isn't studying a lot of money?" Qiao Dongyang suddenly interrupted.

Grandma Wang looked at him and immediately became kind, "Studying doesn't cost money, but his parents have to go to work, so who can take care of her?"

The little girl: "I don't want anyone to take care of me, I can cook."

Grandma Wang glared at her and yelled at the child impatiently, "What do you know about every family of your child? Do you think that the city is like our countryside, so how can you buy vegetables and dress without spending money?"

The little girl pouted, "Why can my brother?"

"Young brother is a boy, you are a girl, can you be the same? Have a meal quickly, adults speak, and children don't interrupt!"

After Grandma Wang trained the child, she sighed and said to Chi Yue and Qiao Dongyang: "It's a difficult life now. Girls will get married sooner or later when they grow up. What's the use of reading so many books? Why not learn to do some housework, find a good man when they grow up, and serve the man well, won't it be a blessing?"

Chi Yue: “…”

She felt a little heavy and didn't know how to persuade her.

Qiao Dongyang immediately lowered his face, "Grandma, I don't like to listen to you anymore. Why can't girls study anymore? Your thoughts are typical of favoring boys over girls!"

Grandma Wang and her husband changed their faces, obviously they didn't like this kind of criticism.

"Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. How can the people in your city understand our hardships!"

Chi Yue stabbed Qiao Dongyang in the arm and said with a smile: "Grandma Wang, what he means is that girls also have the right to receive equal education. Now it is a new society. Many girls have a promising prospect than boys. I think your granddaughter is a clever child with a good face and will be blessed at first sight. If you study again, you will definitely promising when you grow up."
