As soon as Zhang Wentao came back, before she could chat with Hu Youyu, Damai and Ma Ye, she asked Zhang Wentao to take a bath and change clothes.
I saw her thoughtfully walking up to the clothes drying area on the second floor and bringing over the clean bath towels.
After smelling the faint fragrance, when Zhang Wentao closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm water on his face while taking a bath, Zhang Wentao's selfish feelings for Xu Hongdou were beating.
The hot water sprayed from the showerhead collects from the top of the head and flows along the hair tips and onto the cheeks.
Water drops mixed with a certain name's emotions dripped onto the ground.
After a moment, Zhang Wentao opened his eyes and squinted at the water droplets hitting his face.
He was full of selfish thoughts towards Xu Hongdou.
…
After washing, come out and change clothes.
He wiped his hair haphazardly with a wet bath towel. After confirming that it was dry, he hung up the bath towel with satisfaction and placed it in the place designated by the other party.
Go out, come to the platform, and look down.
Barley and Xu Hongdou were gone in the garden, leaving only Hu Youyu and Ma Ye.
When Mr. Ma saw Zhang Wentao coming out, he narrowed his eyes, waved and said, "Wen Tao, come down and have tea together."
Zhang Wentao pursed his lips and nodded.
After coming down, he turned his head and saw Xu Hongdou and Damai busy in the kitchen. He refused Ma Ye's tea cup, but picked up his own bag of milk tea from the table and drank it.
"Master Ma, did your return go well this time?" he asked with concern as he sat down.
"It went well." Mr. Ma showed a spring-like smile and said, "Look, my hair has been cut, my clothes have been changed, and I feel energetic. Doesn't that mean it went well?
But this time I went back, I was deeply touched.
You should communicate with your parents more often and let them know your thoughts, so that they will not think twice."
Zhang Wentao nodded thoughtfully.
Hu Youyu looked at the sky, drank milk tea, and muttered: "It takes courage to chat with your parents and speak your mind."
"Indeed." Zhang Wentao agreed.
It seems that as people age and their minds mature, a feeling of shame will arise.
Ashamed to express my love in front of my parents, ashamed that I had failed to live up to their expectations.
Doesn't seem that open-minded.
Mr. Ma, who was here, knew what the two meant and said with a smile: "Timing is very important. Come on, let's meet one by one."
Hearing this, the three of them smiled, picked up their drinks and clinked a glass.
"By the way, Wen Tao, are you going to pick plums tomorrow?" Hu Youyu asked after drinking.
He still hoped that the other party would accompany him. After all, the two of them could be lazy together and work while talking and laughing.
Zhang Wentao shook his head: "I can't go. That's why you are so active."
"He..." Mr. Ma smiled mysteriously and turned his attention to Hu Youyu. After listening to the other party's nonsense, the smile on his face became more charming.
A few minutes after sitting down, Damai came over from the restaurant. Seeing the three of them there, he said, "The rice has been steamed. Sister Hongdou is going to start cooking. You can start eating later."
"What kind of food are you cooking, barley?" Master Ma asked.
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. These are the two dishes that Mr. Ma you praised so much last time. They also have some steamed ham."
Sitting down, Barley started to introduce.
Hearing this, Mr. Ma glanced at Zhang Wentao and said, "Then we will eat more."
"really."
Zhang Wentao smiled and thought, it turned out to be these two home-cooked dishes.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes…hot and sour shredded potatoes…
After sitting for another two minutes, Zhang Wentao patted his butt, walked into the kitchen, and came to the other party's side.
"Why, are you in a hurry?" Xu Hongdou paid attention to the cooking in the wok, saw him coming over, and asked with a smile.
Zhang Wentao said "hmm" and wanted to go up and hug the other person in his arms, but saw that the three people at the door were positioned just enough to see in, so he had to give up.
Standing beside the other party honestly, he said softly: "If Mr. Ma had told me about this dish last time, I would definitely not have left."
"Huh?" Xu Hongdou looked at the other party.
Zhang Wentao did not hide anything: "My grandma makes this dish very delicious. This is the first dish I learned."
Hearing this, Xu Hongdou smiled and her eyes grew more hopeful: "This is also the first dish I learned and the one I am best at."
A few seconds after she finished speaking, she stir-fried twice and felt that the tomatoes were almost ripe.
I picked it up skillfully and kept it aside. The most important flavor...dark soy sauce.
"Our family always makes this dish. What does your grandma's recipe taste like?" Xu Hongdou asked while pouring the food.
"Take it salty, I'll put some sugar in it."
"That's similar to what I had at BJ's."
"Well, when you come home with me, let my aunt cook it for you. Her cooking is delicious."
"…Um."
Dinner time is short but enjoyable.
Hongdou and Damai, who couldn't stop talking at the dinner table, loved chatting while eating.
In addition, when Mr. Ma came back this time, it was a small reunion party, so during the meal, I took out a few more cans of beer from somewhere.
Drinking beer and eating simple dishes, everyone was very relaxed.
When listening to Mr. Ma talking about his return home, Hu Youyu occasionally made some jokes.
It made Xu Hongdou and Damai giggle.
After waiting for the food to be eaten and cleaning up together, Hu Youyu unexpectedly took over the task of washing the dishes.
When Xu Hongdou returned to Zhang Wentao's room, his first sight fell on the hung bath towel when he entered the door, and he said with satisfaction: "Not bad, obedient."
Zhang Wentao smiled: "When did I stop listening to you?"
After Xu Hongdou heard this, she pursed her lips and looked back at the other person: "Then go and take back all your clothes, including mine."
Zhang Wentao said yes with a smile and walked out of the room.
The place where clothes are hung is a platform. Standing on it and looking around, you can not only see the sunset hanging on the top of the mountain, but also overlook the Erhai Lake along the eaves.
The breeze was blowing Xu Hongdou's hair here, and she followed her out.
Taking the clothes basket, the two of them collected the clothes together.
As clothes were put in one by one, Xu Hongdou asked: "Do you think the food on the meal is delicious?"
Xu Hongdong couldn't help but feel happy at this, and then said: "Then I want a reward, will you agree?"
Zhang Wentao smiled when he heard this. He looked at the other person with a playful look in his eyes. After saying to himself how old you are, he lowered his head and prepared to kiss.
Unexpectedly, the other party quietly pushed back two steps and whispered: "Isn't this what I want?"
"Uh?" Zhang Wentao frowned, a little unhappy because there was no kiss.
"Fold the clothes later, ah." Xu Hongdou said, stood up on tiptoes, kissed his cheek, put down the clothes basket, and looked at him with a smile: "I'm going to take a bath and change clothes.
, and then let’s go for a walk.”
"good."
After Xu Hongdou returned to the room with his bath towel, Zhang Wentao happily put his clothes into the clothes basket one by one, and then stood to watch the sunset that was about to set.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on my face.
He looked at the looming plum forest in the distance and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a moment, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Si Qing: The bayberry is about to ripen, can you buy some for me and send it to Yunnan?
Si Qing: Make money!!!
However, the scene where Hu Youyu and Damai make a bet with Ma Ye and Xu Hongdou is very interesting.
