Chapter 158 Xu Hongdou: "You dare to let me wash clothes?!" (Please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
In the windy little courtyard, since Zhang Wentao came, there are more kitchen utensils in the kitchen.
Wearing the apron Xu Hongdou had put on, Zhang Wentao was holding a basin and kneading noodles... Looking at the basin of flour in front of him, he had a headache because he really didn't like eating it.
Everyone in their family has things they don't like to eat.
His father doesn't eat stick noodles, sweet potatoes, or fennel because he ate too much when he was a child...
His mother doesn't eat leeks because eating them causes diarrhea.
And he doesn't like noodles. When he was a child, his mother always made braised noodles without giving him cold water.
However, Xu Hongdou brought back half a pot of pork belly from Xie A'nai's house. As for the rice noodles that he didn't want to eat, he still chose to make noodles.
The dough for making noodles does not need to be fermented. You only need cold water and flour, add two eggs, a little salt, and make it slightly stiff, then let it rise for 20 minutes.
Taking advantage of the time while waiting for his face to wake up, Zhang Wentao got out and came to Xu Hongdou, who had a frown on his face.
Looking at the afterglow of the evening, his pretty girlfriend looked so hesitant after she came back from Grandma Xie's house. He squatted next to her and gently touched her with his elbow.
Xu Hongdou pursed her lips: "Don't make trouble, I'm not in a good mood."
"I'm not making trouble." Zhang Wentao tilted his head, looking at the fiery afterglow in the distance along the direction Xu Hongdou was looking at, and said, "I just came to see you."
"Yeah." Xu Hongdou nodded and stared into the distance.
When she left Xie Zhiyao's house just now, Xie Grandma's somewhat depressed look made her feel uncomfortable.
"Are you ready?"
After a moment, Xu Hongdou asked.
Zhang Wentao shook his head: "No, the dough is awake, probably..."
He glanced at the watch on his hand before giving a positive reply: "It will probably take another 17 minutes."
"So, now you can have me for 17 minutes. You can share your unhappy things with me."
"I have nothing to be unhappy about." Xu Hongdou looked at the fiery red mass and said in a very soft voice: "I just saw Grandma Xie's eyes, and it reminded me of my grandma's eyes every time I went home.
.”
"What about you? Do you have a good relationship with your grandma?"
"I've never seen my grandma."
"Um?"
"My mother is my grandma's youngest daughter. She passed away before I was born. But I was always with my grandparents when I was in elementary school. As for my grandpa..."
One corner of Zhang Wentao's mouth raised slightly, and he stopped talking.
Xu Hongdou could tell that such an expression was a sign of disdain when someone or something was mentioned.
Sure enough, Zhang Wentao mentioned his grandfather and said nothing more. Instead, he changed the topic: "My grandfather passed away very early and his health was not good. My grandma also suffered a lot and didn't enjoy anything.
What a blessing, just leave."
"Then do you miss them?" Xu Hongdou asked with concern.
"I think so, but the longing for your loved ones can't always be shown on your face," Zhang Wentao said lightly.
Xu Hongdou nodded, then immediately frowned and looked at Zhang Wentao and said: "Then you can't keep it in your heart, do you hear me?"
"Um."
"Can it be done?"
"Um."
Zhang Wentao said "yes" twice in succession, and Xu Hongdou smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'm going to call Lao Hu and call Damai by the way. Go to the kitchen and prepare noodles. I'll come over and boil water for you later."
"good."
"My face is not watery."
"..."
…
The setting sun gradually went down the mountain shoulder, and the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dimmed.
When night fell, Damai, Hu Youyu, Zhang Wentao, and Xu Hongdou were already sitting around the dining table patting their bellies. Xie A'nai's pork jerky was delicious, and it tasted good when paired with noodles.
This sauce looks the same, but in fact every household has its own recipe.
The four of them gathered together, enjoying the evening breeze, chatting about what happened during the short separation in the past few days.
Damai didn't seem to be too surprised that Xu Hongdou and Zhang Wentao started dating. In her delicate heart, women are curious about men, and they start to take the initiative, and they are not far from falling.
After all, when a woman pursues a man, there is only a layer of veil between them.
"Mr. Xie, why don't you go home first? Grandma will be anxious if you don't go back after dark."
Nana took advantage of the fact that most of the customers in the restaurant had left and started cleaning the place, so as not to wait until after work to start doing these things.
Both aunties work during the day, and Xu Hongdou used to help. Later, when Damai came to her, she would also help clean up.
But today, neither Damai nor Xu Hongdou are here.
On the contrary, Xie Zhiyao, who rarely comes to the tavern in the evening on weekdays, has not left since he came in the afternoon.
After he finished drinking tea, he communicated with Sunzi and Damai about the script.
While confirming the details, the subsequent shooting plan has been decided, the budget has been prepared, and the next step is to start execution.
"It's okay, let me help you."
"All right."
Nana nodded, picked up a cup, and washed it while paying attention to the emotions on Xie Zhiyao's face with her peripheral vision.
After finishing her work, the other person looked depressed again, which made her feel a little distressed.
Because of online violence, she came here to relax. She first met Xie Xiaoxia, then Xie Xiaochun, and then Xie Zhiyao, Hu Youyu, Ma Ye, Damai, Xu Hongdou and...
It was a pleasure getting along with them, and she cherished the friendship here.
Friendship has no distinction between before and after, but there is importance.
The 'friend' friendship with Xie Zhiyao was very important to her. And seeing her friend show a decadent side due to emotional difficulties also made her a little emotional.
Will proactively show concern and care.
There will also be careful restraint.
"Mr. Xie, why don't we go back together later? What I mean is..."
After Xie Zhiyao heard this, he stopped packing his things.
The hesitant movement made Nana feel awkward, but after hearing the other party's low "Okay", she pursed her lips slightly.
This "ok" didn't make any ripples in her heart, but it made her want to smile happily.
So the action of washing the cups on my hands became a little faster. Yu Guangzhong also hoped that the customers who had not left the hotel could go home earlier and return to their cabins.
…
Also wanting to return to his cabin as soon as possible was Zhang Wentao, who was scolded like a child in the backyard of the courtyard.
After dinner, the chat ended.
He carried his dirty clothes and came to Xu Hongdou's door. After knocking the door gently, the door was soon opened by the other party from the inside. Under his white body, he could see the other party's fairer skin.
And a little bit more…
It can be considered proud.
Xu Hongdou didn't give him time to choose precise words. Thinking that he was here to ask her to do the laundry, Xu Hongdou angrily twisted Zhang Wentao's ears and went down the steps to the small room where the two of them were staying.
"Did you see it? This is a washing machine!"
"It hurts, it really hurts, Xu Hongdou, I won't lie to you." Zhang Wentao shouted that it hurt, and at the same time shouted: "I saw it, I saw it."
"Can't you just look at the signboard? I've posted the route for you." Xu Hongdou put a hand on his waist, acting a little fiercely.
"Let me see what that thing is for...ah...I'll see, I'll see."
"Quick, wash the clothes quickly."
"I know, I know."
"After washing, come to my room and watch a movie together."
