Chapter 2 2. Villa Space and Plane Mall
Cheng Xi arrived home soon.
The easternmost side of Lin'an Mansion is a residential area. Because it is close to the East City Gate, you will often see villagers outside the city coming in and out.
At this time, a slim figure was pacing back and forth around the gate.
It was a girl two years younger than her, wearing a light green dress, with a slender waist and delicate eyebrows with a faint bookish air.
She looks like a standard beauty in ancient costume.
"Xingqi, why are you standing here?"
Shen Xingqi seemed to be relieved to see her, and her worries were immediately replaced by a gentle smile.
"Sister Xiaoxi, you are back now. Has anyone bullied you?"
The other party's first words were concern, which made Cheng Xi stunned for a moment, and a feeling surged in his heart. Warmth.
"I'm fine. It's cold outside. Let's go in first."
"You should wear more clothes. It's cold over there at the pier. Are you freezing?"
"I'm wearing thick clothes. Have you eaten?”
“I have eaten, and there are two scallion pancakes left from this morning. I didn’t know Sister Xiaoxi was such a good cook.”
Cheng Xixiao. He smiled and didn't answer.
The original owner's cooking skills were not very good, that is, he could cook the food well.
But as the sister-in-law, Shen Xingqi didn’t know about this.
That’s right, it’s my sister-in-law. She, Cheng Xi, followed the fashion and traveled through time, and they actually got married!
As for her cheap little husband.
He is still lying on the bed with his life and death unknown. She, a newlywed, has a faint tendency to become a widow.
Shen Xingqi was afraid that she would be frozen, so after entering the door, she told her to go back to her room to rest.
Cheng Xi thought there was still something to do, nodded in agreement, returned to the room and closed the door.
She untied the small black bag around her waist and placed it on the table. The crisp copper plates jumped out.
There are three taels of broken silver in the alley from "robbing the rich and giving to the poor", and the rest are copper coins.
Perhaps because of the idea of cheap and not greedy, most of today's customers bought two pieces, and the 100 scallion pancakes sold for a total of 243 Wen.
Except for the cost
Almost forgot, she has no cost.
Four, salt and oil are all taken from the space, and even chopped green onions are harvested in the ground.
I never expected that the vegetables I had grown diligently in my previous life would be cheaper than others at the first bite.
Cheng Xi sighed deeply. After working hard early in the morning, he earned more than 200 copper coins. Nowadays, he only has two red Mao Zedong coins, which is not enough for a meal of hot pot from a certain Di Lao.
And this family is so poor that they can't get rid of the problem because there is a sick person. They have eaten one meal but not another.
The little face showed a melancholy expression that did not match his age.
“It’s hard to make money——”
It would be nice if I met a few more idiots like today
Cheng Xi looked outside through the window and saw Shen Xingqi went to the kitchen to be busy, and disappeared into the room with a sudden movement.
The next second she appeared in front of a modern villa covering an area of 500 square meters. The attached yard was planned into vegetable plots. Various vegetables, melons and fruits were lush and growing gratifyingly.
The little girl in ancient times stood in the courtyard wearing a slightly tattered dress, but she became the one who was out of place.
However, the person involved didn’t take it seriously. He picked a crispy cucumber and ate it while pushing the door open and walked in.
The villa is decorated in a modern and simple style, with one basement and three floors above ground. It is her modern home.
The parking lot and storage room in the basement are equally divided. In addition to a black commercial vehicle that is often driven at work, there is also a very durable off-road vehicle, mountain bikes, travel tents and other outdoor survival equipment.
The entrance on the first floor is a hallway covering an area of more than ten square meters. The clothes rack and shoe cabinet are located on the right side of the entrance. The living room is spacious and bright, with soft sofas and soft carpets covering the floor in similar colors. A 90-inch LCD TV is hung in the center.
The open kitchen is connected to the dining room. Common kitchen appliances such as ovens, ovens, and dishwashers are mounted on the wall. Two large double-door refrigerators are placed separately on the east side. Milk, eggs, drinks, snacks Arranged neatly.
Thanks to her modern habit of stocking up, the rice, flour, grains, oils, seasonings and other long-shelf life foods in the kitchen can be consumed by one person for three years.
The second floor is the gym and audio-visual room. Cheng Xi took over the company after graduating from university and was busy with work. He saves time in shopping malls for fitness on weekdays. Therefore, there are many downloaded entertainment programs in the audio-visual room. For recreation.
The third floor is the bedroom and study room. The master bedroom occupies an area of 100 square meters. A large bed over two meters wide is placed against the wall. The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and casts a layer of brilliance on the soft fabric. , in addition to spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes, there are also many jewelry and cosmetics in the cloakroom.
There is a large bookcase on the west wall of the study room, and four curved-screen computers are connected in front of the desk, which are used to follow the stock market trends on a daily basis, but the data will always stay on the day of time travel.
The villa is fully equipped with household appliances and daily necessities, but they are still usable after traveling through time. I don’t know why.
But with this place, you won’t be afraid even if the sky falls.
Looking at the familiar furnishings at home, Cheng Xi's heart that had been hanging around suddenly calmed down a lot.
“This damn sense of security.”
The little girl was a little confused when she saw her facial features clearly through the mirror. This was clearly what she looked like in high school.
Just a little malnourished.
Cheng Xi pulled out a handful of yellow hair on his head in distress, decisively took out a bottle of pure milk from the refrigerator and drank it.
***
In the bedroom that is only separated by a wall, the male owner is also in a difficult mood.
Shen Xingluo's black eyes stared at the dusty wall, with a hint of solemnity in the depth. A deeply visible scar on the side of his face gave him a bit of elegance.
He is back.
Heart-piercing pain came from his abdomen, and the clear perception seemed to indicate the reality of his existence. He didn't expect that one day he would return to the turning point of his life.
[Host, host, you have to thank me for this, I brought you back! 】
A soft voice sounded in his mind again, successfully bringing Shen Xingluo back from his thoughts.
“I don’t think there is any point in returning to this time. It is nothing more than starting the same journey again.”
At first, he was very wary when he heard the voice calling himself [System]. , anyone who has been hit by a meteor for thirty years and returns to his youth would be shocked.
However, after one morning of confrontation, Shen Xingluo dispelled most of his worries.
A fool who knows everything and talks about everything is really not worth his brain.
[Dear, your health was too bad before. Toxins and heart-attack medicines are ineffective. If I hadn’t taken you through time and space, you wouldn’t have lived long! 】
“I’m afraid you won’t live long?”
If it weren’t for the fact that he lost consciousness after being hit, how could he agree to be bound to an external system?
The system paused for a moment, ah, this is not unreasonable.
The immature electronic music sounds a little guilty, [Aiyou~ We are partners, we should share more with each other~]
The twists and turns of the tone echoed in my mind.
Shen Xingluo closed his black eyes unbearably, and his voice was low and dangerous:
"Please speak normally."
【.QAQ】
< br>Who told it that humans all like cute things? See if I don’t find it and kill it!
"So you can change this way of speaking?"
The unusual silence made Shen Xingluo realize this.
The system shivered suddenly, feeling that its code was trembling slightly.
Huh? Why?
[Plane Merchant System 666 is here to serve you wholeheartedly. The voice function can indeed be changed, but your balance is insufficient. Please pay off the balance and try again. 】
"Arrearage?"
[Yes, in order to save your body that was riddled with holes in your previous life, 666 can only overdraft the limit to activate the shuttle function. 】
【Warm reminder: Paying back debts is a matter of course. You still have an outstanding balance of -100000000 interstellar coins~】
“.”
Shen Xingluo cut off contact directly.
With a "squeak" sound, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Shen Xingqi, who was holding a bowl at the door, looked at him for a moment, then cried with joy.
"Brother, you finally woke up!"
The girl put the food aside and ran quickly to the bed, crying and laughing.
“You scared me to death. Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?”
"I'm fine."
Xu Shi didn't speak for a few days, and Shen Xingluo's voice was low and dull.
"The doctor said that you can get through it as soon as you wake up. I will ask him to come over and show you later."
Shen Xingqi looked at the scars on the side of his face that were deeply visible. He hesitated to speak.
“Brother, don’t lose heart.”
This scar not only ruined his handsome facial features, it also ruined his career.
My brother became famous at a young age, and his mentor and clan members had high hopes for him. This time Qiu Wei even won Jieyuan in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that he would encounter a thief on the day when the list was unveiled.
Eighteen years old should have been a high-spirited age, but unfortunately, a sudden disaster caused him to fall from being the proud son of heaven into the depths of the quagmire. This blow is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Shen Xingqi was worried about her brother, but she didn't know that she was no longer the innocent boy who only knew how to study.
Shen Xingluo's dark eyes flashed slightly, then lowered to hide the deep meaning in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"You must be hungry after being in a coma for two days. Eat something first."
Bite into the layered scallion pancake, which is crispy and mixed with chopped green onion. The oily aroma explodes in the mouth, full of salty aroma.
Shen Xingluo, who didn't pay much attention, was stunned and stared at the round cake wrapped in oil paper for a moment.
“Isn’t it delicious? I didn’t expect Sister Xiaoxi’s cooking skills to be so good. She even sold 100 cakes at the dock today.”
"Who?"
"Sister Xiaoxi, your wife."
Shen Xingluo gathered his thoughts and rubbed the fabric with his right thumb and index finger thoughtfully.
