Chapter 138 It’s just a coincidence (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
Xu Hongdou, who escaped Xie's grandma, did not escape Xie Zhiyao's father in the end.
After finding out about his son's "gossip girlfriend" in the village, his own mother's praise, and after asking Xie Zhiyao's employees and the aunties in the village whom he had known since he was a child, he still hid it from Xie Zhiyao after dinner.
Zhiyuan came to the small courtyard.
By chance, he bumped into Damai, Nana and Xu Hongdou who were chatting in the restaurant after dinner.
After a patient exchange, Xu Hongdou clearly expressed his views on Xie Zhiyao's career here and his views on the future of Yunmiao Village.
When Xie Zhiyao's father had just left, Nana held Xu Hongdou's hand with an expression of disbelief and said excitedly: "Hongdou, I didn't expect Mr. Xie to be so...so great in your eyes."
"Great?" Xu Hongdou showed a puzzled expression, shook his head and said: "I am just stating the facts. Look at Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin, they both have their own firm goals and ideals to fight for."
"Me, I just envy, or rather admire, people like them who don't just think about themselves, and don't just look at the little road in front of them."
Nana listened attentively and nodded from time to time to show her approval.
But the more she listened, the more strange she became, why Mr. Xie was so good in Xu Hongdou's eyes, but she...
Thinking of it, she remembered every word the other party said in her heart. After returning to the room, she typed it out and sent it to Xie Zhiyao as soon as possible. She thought that even if the two of them would not get together, they would be liked by her.
People recognize it, which is also a joyful thing.
The moonlight blows like a spring breeze.
After a busy day, Xu Hongdou stayed in her room and nestled quietly on the sofa.
Under the yellow dim light, she flipped through the books in her hand, wanting to enrich herself more and stop herself from always having random thoughts.
Just as she was concentrating on flipping the paper, the WeChat notification suddenly rang. After she glanced sideways, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand because the book was too boring.
"I'll be back tonight. You don't have to wait for me in the restaurant."
Seeing the WeChat message on her phone, Xu Hongdou suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart. It seemed that her enlightenment was effective, but soon, she hummed and put the phone back on the table.
Who is waiting for you at the restaurant?
Xu Hongdou wrinkled his nose slightly, he was really narcissistic.
However, before the phone screen went off, she deliberately looked at the time "8:35" and then thought that this time should be the time when dinner was over.
I guess today's dinner is quite busy...
After finishing dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, Zhang Wentao was helping Shi Tiandong. The duck soup was ready, but how to make delicious duck blood vermicelli soup, Zhang Wentao still hoped that Shi Tiandong could show him.
After all, he wanted to make this dish for Xu Hongdou for breakfast.
"You, go to the cold room first and get all the ingredients I prepared yesterday." After saying that, Shi Tiandong looked proud and waited for Zhang Wentao to get the things back with a stinky face. He raised his head and asked, "Why don't you use me to make fans?
Shall I teach you?”
"Well, no need." Zhang Wentao twitched the corner of his mouth, pretending that he couldn't see the other person's expression.
But Shi Tiandong said: "No? What do you think, is it better to soak in hot water or cold water?
"Warm water. If it's cold water, it will take about 1-2 hours." Zhang Wentao gritted his teeth.
Seeing that he had escaped his language trap, Shi Tiandong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then why are you just standing there stupidly? Go get fans."
"..."
Zhang Wentao squinted his eyes and looked at the other person with a smile. After about half a minute, he nodded, walked to the restaurant, brought back a kettle and started to boil hot water.
During this process, Shi Tiandong quietly touched his forehead.
Zhang Wentao boiled the water, and he immediately brought half a basin of cold water over and said with a smile: "I'll do it, I'll do it."
After adjusting the temperature of the water, he let Zhang Wentao touch it and said sincerely: "Basically, a temperature of 40 degrees is enough. Don't soak it for too long, otherwise the vermicelli will easily stick together and taste bad. It's best to add more
A pinch of salt.”
"I understand." Zhang Wentao nodded.
After carefully watching the other party cook it, and after tasting it and feeling that it tasted good, he smiled again and asked: "By the way, when will your Qingtuan and Ye Zi arrive?"
"Tomorrow, send it to the restaurant. Then you can leave some for me..."
Shi Tiandong originally wanted to keep half of it, but when he saw Zhang Wentao's smiling face, he immediately changed his mind.
I was also complaining about this stingy man in my heart. Didn't I just imitate him just now?
"Then let me thank you first on behalf of the people in the courtyard." Zhang Wentao's tone was filled with relief, as a child can be taught.
However, he was very grateful to Shi Tiandong for taking time out after get off work to teach him how to cook some Chinese dishes. The condition he had originally offered to help was for Shi Tiandong to stay and teach him carving.
But when the two of them actually entered the kitchen, they were exhausted from the daily work.
I can only take some time out during my lunch break and after get off work in the evening.
This situation was also one of the reasons why Zhang Wentao decided to change the menu. Otherwise, neither he nor Shi Tiandong would have worked for anything.
This was contrary to his original idea.
After the two finished eating and chatting for a while, Shi Tiandong and Zhang Wentao packed their things, then went to change clothes together, and then waved goodbye at the entrance of the ancient town.
The evening time is always very leisurely.
You Qi walked on the path home, looking at the moonlight and the stone road under the street lights, and thinking about someone in the courtyard. Zhang Wentao couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He just felt that this kind of comfortable life was what he wanted to pursue.
But he quickly rejected this idea and attributed this sudden thought to his tired body and his current state of ease.
Push open the small door of the courtyard.
Except for a few station lights upstairs, the dining room and kitchen were dim.
"Quite obedient."
Thinking of this, Zhang Wentao's good mood became even more pleasurable. He went to the restaurant, turned on the lights, and put everything he had brought back for tomorrow morning into the refrigerator.
I took my time and made a cup of iced coffee before strolling back to the house.
Xu Hongdou's door opened gently, a gray short skirt wrapped her slender legs, and she stepped out of the door.
In the moonlight, Zhang Wentao looked up when he heard the movement and couldn't help but take a second look.
"You're back?"
Xu Hongdou, who was about to go downstairs, noticed something strange about the other party. He looked down at his legs, his cheeks flushed slightly, and said, "I just went downstairs to get a bottle of water. I'm afraid I'll be thirsty at night."
Zhang Wentao, who looked up, regained his composure, swallowed, nodded and said, "Would you like some milk? I'll do it."
"No, I drank today." Xu Hongdou felt that her face was a little hot, and she fixed her hair awkwardly and refused.
She can be 100% sure that she didn't wait for the other party on purpose, it was just a coincidence.
Zhang Wentao turned sideways with some embarrassment. The breeze gently blew Xu Hongdou's hair, and at the same time, he who was secretly cursing himself could smell the fragrance that came with the wind.
Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, when Xu Hongdou walked over with his head lowered, he gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and grabbed the opponent's pair of catkins that he didn't want to miss. When the opponent was stunned for a moment, he said:
