Chapter 72
Xie Wencheng just thought about it casually, he had to do what he had to do. He is a person who can clearly separate personal emotions from things.
For example, he now knows that Yu Tong has a heart for Chu Jie, but he will do his best to help Chu Jie. From Chu Jie’s past behavior, Xie Wencheng could tell that he was a good person, and a good person had to be helped.
“It’s inconvenient for us to talk too much here. We’ll talk about it later. As for today…” Xie Wencheng glanced at the unreliable things in the cage, and sighed in his heart why Chu Jie was so courageous. He said seriously, “The things you sell are unreliable, and the stall must be closed today. How about this, we can’t eat this chicken anyway, why don’t we have dinner together tonight?” Chu Jie looked at Xie Wencheng hesitantly .
Xie Wencheng smiled lightly and said, “How about this, I will cook tonight, and I won’t give you any money, just treat it as if you invited us to eat, how about it?” The stubbornness in Chu Jie’s eyes disappeared a lot.
This made Xie Wencheng sigh in his heart. It seems that Chu Jie is also stubborn. It is because of his stubbornness that he doesn’t care about selling things on the black market. This kind of personality was not flattering in the past, but in the future… maybe it will be able to achieve a big career?
Chu Jie thought for a while, then nodded: “Okay, let me invite you.” It was very strong. It was agreed that Chu Jie took the pheasant and went out first. It was strange to say that Chu Jie shook quite a bit, but the thing didn’t even make a sound. No one noticed the way out.
Yu Tong and Xie Wencheng followed behind, looking at Chu Jie’s back, Yu Tong was a little confused. She quietly pulled Xie Wencheng’s arm, and asked in a low voice, “Are you really asking Chu Jie to invite us? His conditions are not very good, I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it.”
Xie Wencheng glanced at her, his tone neither salty nor weak : “You still care about him.”
Yu Tong didn’t hear Xie Wencheng’s secret thoughts, she said seriously: “Chu Jie is a good person, I only did him a small favor before, and he always wanted to repay me. When they first went to the countryside, The educated youth has had a hard life, but in order to repay me, he went out of his way to do farm work for others in exchange for eggs… How precious are eggs at that time, how much work would he have to do before they would be willing to give them to him?” She said this seriously, which seemed to be Xie Wencheng was a little stingy. He touched his ears, feeling ashamed of himself just now.
“I won’t give it to him, just find an excuse to let him go with us, and you should do things in a roundabout way,” Xie Wencheng said with a smile, “He looks like a person with strong self-esteem. If you just say that you want to buy all his things, he Definitely will not. When we get home later, let’s show that we are in urgent need of meat, so that he can feel that we didn’t mean to help him. Besides, we didn’t mean to help him in the first place. It is very rare, and it is our luck to be able to buy it.”
Yu Tong suddenly realized.
Not to mention, she has been dealing with almost routine men in the supermarket for a long time, and she is living a happy life in Shanghai, so she is really not used to these sophistication.
The man in charge of ordering won’t let her come around, will he? She is shameless and direct bargaining. It was really her negligence.
Yu Tong knew that Chu Jie was still in the early stage of hard work, and he must be very short of money now, so she was a little uncertain how much money to give him. Not only that, how to get Chu Jie to accept the money was also a problem.
Xie Wencheng seemed to see Yu Tong’s distress, he smiled, and patted her on the head: “Okay, you’d better save your little brain to think about tonight’s recipe.” Hearing this, Yu Tong’s heart instantly felt at ease .
Now that Xie Wencheng said so, he will definitely handle the matter well, so she doesn’t have to worry about it. She raised her head and looked at him with a smile: “You can do whatever I want?”
“Of course…” Xie Wencheng was about to nod when he noticed something unusual in Yu Tong’s tone. He squinted at her, “You Give me something to eat.”
Otherwise, God knows what crazy idea she will come up with. “Hmph, you still can’t make it.”
“…How can you not make something for me to eat?”
” You know what I want to eat?!”
“Pig food.”
“…Hey!” Listen Seeing Xie Wencheng and Yu Tong “flirting” behind him, Chu Jie couldn’t help speeding up his pace. The more he listened to it, the worse he felt. He felt sour and uncomfortable, as if something had been snatched from his heart.
But at the same time that he was uncomfortable, he also felt a sense of relief. With a man like Xie Wencheng by her side, Yu Tong will surely have a good life in the future, right? Well, it’s better than suffering with him.
Chu Jie shook his head, shaking off these messy thoughts. Make an exception tonight and have a good meal. Tomorrow he has to continue to think of ways to make money. How can he think about these things.
Since he went to the countryside, there were only a few women left in the family, and there was no backbone. Chu Jie’s mother was also sick, and she was still paralyzed on the bed. The burden on his shoulders is not small, so now he is willing to do anything that can make money, and he has also learned carpentry. The first time he met Yu Tong in Shanghai, he was hired to work.
When he arrived at Xie Wencheng’s house, Yu Tong put the vegetables in the kitchen and arranged them one by one. After telling Xie Wencheng not to be reluctant to buy vegetables frequently, she resolutely gave him the battlefield.
She directly asked Xie Wencheng to stew the chicken, not making it too complicated, for fear that Chu Jie would not be used to it.
Xie Wencheng’s cooking skills are very good, and Chu Jie also ate a few more bowls of rice for an unprecedented time. This chicken is simply the best thing he has ever eaten.
After dinner, Xie Wencheng casually cleaned up the dishes and asked, “How old are you this year?”
Although the dinner was good, Chu Jie’s voice was still muffled, “21.”
Xie Wencheng nodded: “As far as age is concerned, you still have to call me Brother cheng. As a brother, I can’t take advantage of you for nothing. I still have some food at home. Let’s take some away later. Hey, don’t refuse, I can buy your things, I ate them all, can’t you have some of mine?”
Yu Tong glanced at the two people who were talking. It turned out that Xie Wencheng wanted to exchange things with Chu Jie. But Chu Jie is only 21 years old? He… looks really anxious.
There was nothing wrong with what Xie Wencheng said, and Chu Jie couldn’t insist on anything, so he could only nod his head.
Xie Wencheng asked again: “Can you catch hares and the like? My grandma likes this, but I don’t know how to catch them either. Next time you catch them, tell me?” Chu Jie was holding a hand wipe Handkerchief, brow clenched again.
He stared at the desktop, not knowing what he was looking at, and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Yu Tong’s heart was suspended, but fortunately, she was very satisfied with the answer given by Chu Jie.
Chu Jie nodded in agreement.
In fact, he was more or less aware of Xie Wencheng’s purpose, but he was a filial old man, and they were not familiar with each other, so it seemed normal to do some business.
Besides, when Xie Wencheng and Yu Tong said the same words, it felt really different.
After the matter was settled, Yu Tong could finally relax. Chu Jie’s house was far away, he left after a while, and Yu Tong stayed at Xie Wencheng’s house for a while. The more she waited for Xie Wencheng, the more anxious she became.
Yu Tong saw him staring at the door from time to time, and knew in her heart that he wanted her to leave. She tilted her head, puzzled: “You still have plans later? Let me go in such a hurry.”
Wen Cheng heard it amused, he knocked on his watch, “You don’t even check what time it is, is it a question of whether I want to keep you? You are still staying at my house so late, you will be gossiped when you go out.” It turned out that Xie Wencheng was afraid of this. Yu Tong didn’t care.
She used to pay attention to this issue, it was entirely because of the special times, she went to the countryside to do as the Romans did. Now that she knew that she had feelings for Xie Wencheng in that way, what was she afraid of? Yu Tong smiled and said: “It’s okay, I am not afraid, you will be responsible if it happens.”
The half-joking words made Xie Wencheng freeze from the beginning to the end.
He felt that his breathing was not very smooth, and something came in from the sole of his foot, itching unbearably, and he lost all strength in his legs. He stood there helplessly, the roots of his ears were red, his mouth opened and opened again, but he didn’t hold back a word.
It wasn’t until Xie Wencheng saw Yu Tong’s smiling eyes that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cheated by this girl.
Xie Wencheng: ” get up, let’s take you back.”
Yu Tong jumped up happily. She doesn’t know anyone she didn’t like before, so she’s pretty good at flirting? Very good, keep up the good work.
******************
Back to the dormitory, it was getting late. As soon as Yu Tong entered the room, the girls in the dormitory winked at her: “Yu Tong, we all saw it, Xie Wencheng sent you back. Tsk, why not? Confirm your relationship”
Yu Tong blushed, and said seriously: “Don’t talk nonsense, we really have nothing to do with each other now, if someone hears you, they will gossip.”
“You also know that other people can gossip? Yu Tong , I saw it all. When you two walked downstairs, our teacher happened to pass by. Do you still need us to gossip? You are both old and young, hurry up and settle down, so that you won’t be afraid of others talking about it.”
“What are you going to settle on Ah,” Yu Tong said with a smile, “I don’t know what Brother Cheng is thinking, besides his family, I have to think about it carefully, what if his grandfather dislikes me?”
She thinks that Grandpa Xie might dislike her.
“Hey, are you admitting it? You are interested in him!”
“Does she have to admit it? You didn’t see Xie Wencheng’s positive appearance every time he came to see her. But Yu Tong, I’m not talking about you. You two should pay attention. Xie Wencheng’s status is not ordinary, I guess Now the whole school knows that the two of you are engaged, you two should get engaged first, or you will have a bad reputation.”
“Our Tongtong is all about Xie Wencheng in her heart now, so how can we control these things.” Yu Tong knew that all the roommates She cared about her, so she wouldn’t get angry because of the joke. She smiled and said, “I don’t. Don’t talk about it. Let’s have a rest. The lights will be turned off later.” The rest of the people immediately went to their own affairs.
“Where’s my towel, who used my towel… Ah, why did my white towel turn black!”
“Why did the rock candy I hid on the balcony disappear?!”
“.Maybe it was eaten by Mr. Sun ”
Yu Tong looked at the noisy people in the dormitory, and suddenly felt that life is really good now.
In the future, it would be even better if Lin Xianglian could come over and settled properly.
After Yu Tong finished washing, dhe went to the supermarket. There are many things in the supermarket these two days, and she has been very busy, so she comes whenever she is free.
But today she felt the need to speak clearly with the man.
“Although we are good friends, you can’t indulge me too much. Every time I bargain with you, you agree so easily. How can I exercise my emotional intelligence? Next time, you can be more devious, so that I can also exercise my speech Level.”
The man was very happy: “You finally don’t plan to bargain with me?”
“No,” Yu Tong said seriously, “You first pretend to reject me, and then I will negotiate with you again. After a few rounds like this, you agree again That’s fine.”
The man: “…”
He is still a sparring partner for feelings now?
*************
The supermarket will be closed during the renovation period. The man said that if the things used for the decoration on the second floor fall and happen to hit customers, no one can afford it. Yu Tong felt that what the man said was very reasonable, so he felt that it was closed during the renovation period.
If there is no business, there will be no income, and she has to continue to pay the staff’s wages, and Yu Tong’s savings are tight. Fortunately, there is no shortage of goods in the supermarket, and life can continue. But this period of time must not be wasted recklessly.
Yu Tong searched and searched and hid all kinds of bills and money in the supermarket, with only a few cents in her pocket, so as to restrain Herself from always wanting to spend money.
Within two days, Sun Yuying came to see her again, saying that she wanted to make a new set of clothes as a gift.
But Yu Tong hasn’t bought anything in the past few days, and she really can’t pick out clothes that are similar to the style of clothes in the 1970s. She doesn’t have the skill to make them herself, so she can only let Sun Yuying pull the cloth to make it herself. It seems that learning to make clothes is imminent.
Even if she don’t expect to make and sell clothes by herself in the future, it would be nice to be able to make clothes of her own design.
The renovation of the supermarket will take about three months, and Yu Tong has only lived without a supermarket for a month, so she can’t stand it anymore, but the man said that she can’t go in and out of the supermarket frequently during the renovation period, so Yu Tong had to go to Xie Wencheng’s to satisfy her hunger.
Yu Tong went there early in the morning, and Xie Wencheng was reading a book when she went. Coincidentally, Grandma Xie was also there, and the couple, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, stuck together and chatted for almost two hours as soon as they met.
While the two were chatting, Xie Wencheng read quietly without being disturbed at all. Amazing self-control.
Yu Tong spoke dryly, and got up to pour water for Grandma Xie. When passing by Xie Wencheng, she couldn’t help but look at him a few more times, and asked curiously, “What are you going to test? You work so hard, Is it for some important position? ?”
Xie Wencheng said “Yes”, his eyes were still glued to the book, and he replied casually: “Police.”
