Chapter 185 Who washes the dishes is a matter of face (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
After preparing dinner and placing the food on the wooden table in the yard, Grandma Xie looked at her grandson in front of her with distress.
Xie Zhiyao had a busy day, with fatigue written all over his face.
He prepared things last night and got up early this morning to go up the mountain. After being busy on the mountain, he had no time to relax when he came down the mountain. Not only did he have a meal with Sunzi and others, but he also went back to his office with Xie Xiaochun to do some work.
After a hard day's work, he looked exhausted.
"Ayao, use your chopsticks. After you finish eating, go and take a rest."
Xie Zhiyao nodded and dealt with it for a while, but had no intention of moving his chopsticks.
Seeing her grandson like this, Grandma Xie felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "You're not still thinking about that girl Hongdou, are you?"
After hearing this, Xie Zhiyao remained silent, put down the hand holding his temples, and forced out an ugly smile: "Let's eat, grandma."
He was worried about it, but he really didn't want to talk about it in front of his grandma now.
He understands why some things can only be thought about but not done.
Thoughts return to thoughts.
There are some things that, for an adult, you don't want to think about, and you deliberately don't let yourself think about them.
"Yeah." Grandma Xie responded, handed the chopsticks to Xie Zhiyao, and said in a slightly comforting tone: "What are you doing, it doesn't matter what you eat. People are iron, and rice is steel."
Listening to the ancient words coming from his grandma's mouth, Xie Zhiyao pursed his lips.
I agreed in my heart: Indeed, even boredom and sadness require strength.
Feeling a little more enlightened, he glanced into the small courtyard next door. Listening to the cheers of Damai and Hu Youyu inside, he guessed that it was probably time for them to eat now.
…
After receiving a text message from Damai, Zhang Wentao and Xu Hongdou walked back to the windy courtyard with a bag of flower cakes and yellow beef ribs.
On the way, the two of them chatted about Aunt Agui.
He also kept smiling.
She seemed to be the catalyst in the courtyard.
I am very familiar with every resident in the courtyard and can chat with everyone.
The distance between her house and the courtyard is not very close, it takes about ten minutes to walk, but compared to Xie A Nai, who is just across the alley, everyone is more familiar with it.
"Hey, at this point, I don't have time to make black rice."
The sky was already darkening. Zhang Wentao, who had been busy all afternoon at Aunt Agui's house, scratched the back of his head and suddenly said.
"Then we'll eat it tomorrow." Xu Hongdou said softly.
When Zhang Wentao heard this, his face became even more embarrassed: "Lao Shi will have a rest tomorrow, and I will be busy in the restaurant until evening."
In order to go to the mountains with Xu Hongdou to pick mushrooms today, he had already arranged for him to take a vacation.
He would be somewhat embarrassed if he asked the other party to go tomorrow.
"Then just teach me and I'll do it." Xu Hongdou said without hesitation.
She understood the other party's intentions and asked her friends to get these seasonal and unique snacks just to give herself a taste.
She likes to eat and is a bit greedy.
But she cares more about the other person's feelings.
Just like mushrooms, she hopes that the other party can use the mushrooms she picked together to make a delicious dish that will satisfy her taste buds, but the other party really does not have time, and she will not be disappointed.
Rather, try to understand the other person as much as possible.
Listening to the gentle whispers in his ears, Zhang Wentao nodded slightly: "How about this? I'll get up early tomorrow morning and prepare breakfast for you.
If you happen to be exhausted from going up the mountain today, don't get up early for a run.
How about it?"
"Get up early?"
Xu Hongdou shook his head hesitantly, then stopped and stared at the other person after thinking for a moment: "How has your sleep been... recently?"
"It's always been like that, but I slept more deeply."
Zhang Wentao stopped, pretending to be dumbfounded and preparing to mumble over.
What he said was half true and half false.
Mainly, the anxiety on the other person's face made him feel a little nervous, and he didn't want the other person to worry too much about this matter.
After all, he felt that his body was used to such a routine.
Biological clock disorder no longer tortures him as it used to.
At the very least, he feels much more energetic when he wakes up now, and his temper is better than before.
It is no longer like before, where it was a little unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory.
I start to think wildly or get sulky.
"You promised me, do you still remember?"
Xu Hongdou, who was staring at Zhang Wentao, noticed the dodge in the other person's eyes. Under the moonlight and street lights, she stared at the other person with her bright eyes and her voice was very soft.
The expression on her face gradually turned from uneasy and worried to serious, with some anxiety in her eyes.
"Remember."
Zhang Wentao was shocked and pursed his lips.
Xu Hongdou asked: "How is your sleep now?"
"It's really getting better, and it's very heavy." Zhang Wentao looked at the other party seriously, his eyes no longer wandering: "You see, if I don't sleep well, I won't be so energetic, right? I just don't have enough time, so I lie in bed at night
It needs to be brewed and brewed.”
He really didn't tell lies.
The previous brewing, I wish I could brew until dawn.
But now, I can at least get three or four hours of peaceful sleep, a very, very, very, very deep sleep.
Basically, you can enter deep sleep directly as soon as you fall asleep.
Xu Hongdou noticed that he spoke this time and did not show any signs of guilt. Then he withdrew his gaze and nodded thoughtfully.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at the watch on the other person's wrist, and he squinted.
She made up her mind and said nothing more.
She blamed herself a little for neglecting this very important thing.
When I first came here, I was not used to the cockcrow in the morning and the "chirping" sound coming from the bird's nest.
She didn't sleep well either.
In addition, the reason for my resignation was because after losing Chen Nanxing, I suffered from physical exhaustion caused by a long period of poor rest and irregular diet...
"Okay, don't worry. I go to bed quickly every day when I come back from your house."
Zhang Wentao felt a little distressed when he saw the sad look on his girlfriend's face. He touched her head and gave her a smile, trying to ease his embarrassment and her partner's worries.
"Well, let's go back first."
Xu Hongdou silently looked at the other person again, nodded, and then held the other person's hand.
The two returned to the small courtyard. Hu Youyu, Nana and Damai were surprised and waited for a long time.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Xu Hongdou felt relieved, and a faint smile appeared on his face again.
Zhang Wentao said hello and quickly heated up the beef ribs he brought back with the soup.
Soon, everyone started to move.
After a tiring day, everyone had a good appetite, and this meal was much quieter than before.
They were all focused on filling their stomachs first.
The yellow beef ribs made by Aunt Agui taste very good, and the fried mushrooms made by Nana are also good. In addition, the braised chicken bought from Gesanghua's house and two vegetables stir-fried with barley.
Soon, everyone had eaten the pot of rice.
Hu Youyu and Zhang Wentao, who felt they could still eat something, took out Qingtuan balls from the refrigerator while the women gathered around the courtyard to eat fruits after dinner.
You and I, one by one, stared at the table full of dishes and chopsticks in a daze while eating.
It was obvious that neither of them wanted to wash the dishes, and they were competing to see who would finally have the guts to open his mouth.
And women are not idle either.
Eating fruit and chatting in the yard. Damai even ran back to the house, took out the printed photos and admired them. When he came down, he quietly gave one to Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou took it and took a look. In the photo was
After reading it, she put the photo into her pocket with a smile, and then took out her mobile phone.
While Xu Hongdou, Nana and Damai were admiring today's harvest.
Zhang Wentao and Hu Youyu are still competing with each other.
