Chapter 1285 Sharpening the Knife
When Chu Heng got home, it was almost eight o'clock. After parking the car against the wall at the door, he dragged his tired body into the new house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two dogs who heard the noise and came to greet their owner pounced on him, spitting out their big red and wet tongues and licking his palms fawningly.
"I'll take you two to catch rabbits in two days!"
Chu Heng slapped the dog's head fiercely, and after studying the outline with the gunmen for most of the day, his voice sounded like A little hoarse.
After teasing the dog like this for a while, he walked past the screen wall and walked inside.
The front yard was empty at the moment, dark and quiet, with a few fruit trees swaying gently in the breeze, as if welcoming him.
Chu Heng glanced at the plum tree with another bald branch, walked through the hanging flower door and entered the backyard with his bag.
The backyard was quite lively at this time. The lights in the east room were brightly lit and the TV was very loud. Through the glass window, you could faintly see a lot of people sitting there.
He walked to the window and took a look, and unexpectedly saw a few neighbors from the alley here. They were young daughters-in-law and middle-aged women who were usually talkative and had some social skills. Otherwise, They couldn't hook up with Ni Yinghong who had just moved here so quickly.
"Okay, it will be public television again in a few days."
Chu Heng shook his head helplessly, walked into the main room, took out a bottle of cold orange-flavored Arctic soda from the refrigerator, and sipped After biting the lid open with his teeth, he raised his neck and drank it in one breath.
“Tons, tons, tons…”
“Hiccup!”
A bottle of cold soda slid down his throat, and he let out another big belch. Chu Heng just My whole body feels refreshed, and my burning throat is much relieved.
After exhaling, he put the empty soda bottle on the top of the refrigerator. When Sister Guizhi sees it tomorrow, she will put it away and take it to a grocery store to exchange for money.
The temperature is not low today. It is almost forty degrees during the day. Chu Heng, who has been bored in the guest house for most of the day, has even soaked his clothes with sweat so many times. The back of his shirt is even wet. A circle of white salt frost was hung.
He tugged on his collar and felt that his whole body was sticky, as if he had been soaked in a layer of slurry, and his pores could not open.
Chu Heng, who felt uncomfortable, quickly came out of the main room, put his bag in the study, and then went to the east room.
At this time, there was a lot of gloom in the east room. Several women in the family were there. Among the neighbors watching TV, except for a doll who was sleeping in his arms, they were all women.
A group of women were blowing fans and watching TV, each holding a handful of peanuts and melon seeds. From time to time, they would comment on the program content, chattering in a lively manner.
"Oh, Aunt Zhang, Sister Huang is here."
"Oh, you just finished your work?"
"No, it won't be finished until after seven o'clock, I almost died from exhaustion on the line of fire.”
“Haha, you have a lot of things to do”
After Chu Heng entered the house, he just said a few words and hello to a few guests. Yang Guizhi stood up and came over to greet him. She looked at the sweat stains on his clothes and said in a loud voice: "Why are these clothes so dirty?" ?Take it off quickly "Hey, your white shirt is dirty and you need to wash it quickly, otherwise it won't come out."
The old lady didn't even watch TV, so she took off his clothes without any explanation and hurried out. room.
Chu Heng, who has become a white-striped chicken, doesn’t feel embarrassed. These days, the streets are full of young men. They haven’t been put online yet, and no one will think there is anything wrong.
So he walked past the women who were sitting on the bench watching TV, shirtless and grand, went to his wife to get a set of clothes, then went back to the study to get the toiletries and went to the bathroom. .
Entering the house and turning on the light, Chu Heng carried the basin to the faucet, glanced at the mirror mounted on the wall, which was not much bigger than his face, bared his teeth and showed a coquettish smile, appreciating After taking care of her beautiful face, she took off her clothes completely, then took a basin of tap water from the basin, raised it above her head and splashed it from head to toe, and the heat in her body dissipated instantly.
I put some soap on it and rubbed it together, then washed my hair, brushed my teeth, and finally rinsed it with a few basins of water. My whole body felt refreshed.
"Comfortable!"
Chu Heng, who wiped off two ounces of mud, dried himself comfortably, put on a pair of big pants, opened the door and walked out of the toilet.
As soon as he came out, he saw Yang Guizhi sitting on the porch steps in front of his house, washing clothes in a large wooden basin in front of him. In addition to Chu Heng's shirts, there were also some Ni Yinghong, Da My cousin and her own filled a large basin full of it.
“I said, Sister Guizhi, I have bought you a washing machine, why don’t you use it?” Chu Heng stepped forward helplessly. He didn’t know why, but this eldest sister was so dissatisfied with the family. The washing machine is very resistant. She usually doesn't touch it when it's too busy or when it's not washing large items.
"The washing machine is not clean." Yang Guizhi raised her head and curled her lips in disgust.
“Didn’t I say it all? Just soak it for a while longer.” Chu Heng squatted down and looked at the pile of clothes in the basin. What would happen if they were all washed and hung up to dry? It was past ten o'clock, so he advised: "Today It's too late, so don't wash it. You can rest after washing my shirt, soak the rest first, and just put it in the washing machine tomorrow morning."
"It's okay. , it’s hot and I can’t sleep anyway, so I have nothing to do I'm free." Yang Guizhi shook her head stubbornly. Seeing what Chu Heng wanted to say, she impatiently wiped her wet hands on her body, pushed him slightly, and said, "Okay, okay, Go about your business quickly, woman What do you, a grown man, have to worry about? Making money to support your family is your business."
"Okay, okay, then go to bed early."
Chu Heng smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he stood up and returned to the study.
Yang Guizhi glanced at the closed study door, then looked hostilely at the heavy washing machine placed next to the wall in the bathroom with the door open, muttering and continuing to wash her clothes.
"Let it wash? Even if I break my arm from exhaustion, I can't let it steal my job!"...
The next day, it was just six o'clock in the morning Afterwards, Chu Heng came out of the house.
When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. The entire sky was covered by a layer of gray clouds. The wind was also a bit strong, and the eldest cousin's skirt was blown up. Look. It seems that a rain is inevitable.
"It would be nice if it rained a little, it would make it cooler."
Chu Heng, who was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and big leather shoes, looked like a dog. He casually pulled the cigarette butt out of his mouth and threw it on the ground. After stamping out, he took out his car keys and got into the Volga, and soon drove out of Banchang Alley.
At about 6:30, he came to the studio next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs compound.
Knowing that the shop would be officially opened today, the Gao Ling sisters did not go home yesterday. They tidied up the entire shop inside and out yesterday.
When Chu Heng came in, the two young ladies were sitting on the sofa eating breakfast. Each of them held a sesame pancake in their hands, drinking soy milk and eating pickle sticks. The food was delicious.
"Team leader."
Seeing him come in, the sisters stood up in a hurry.
Chu Heng glanced at Gao Yu'e, with a childish face, tall chest, and a drop of milky white soy milk hanging from the corner of his mouth...
"Eat yours."
Feeling a little angry, Chu Heng smacked his lips and turned to look at Gao Ling. Seeing the girl with big dark circles under her eyes, he smiled and said, "What? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"How can I sleep well? If they don't like the clothes I designed, I... wouldn't my job be gone?" Gao Ling said with a worried look.
"Then let's burn incense together and pray that we can open the door today." Chu Heng smiled and did not comfort her, thinking that it would be good to put some pressure on her.
After all, pressure is motivation.
He walked over to the sofa and sat down next to Gao Yu'e. He gently sniffed the faint scent of jasmine coming from the girl, and asked with a smile: "How are you, Yu'e?" Comrade, are you getting used to it these days?"
"Quite... It's good." Gao Yu'e nervously put down the sesame seed cake in her hand, took a sneak look at Chu Heng's handsome face, and quickly turned away with a blushing face. Her back bent unconsciously. Perhaps it was because of shyness or other reasons. She always likes to shrink her back and hide her big breasts.
"Remember, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"Yeah, I understand, Team Leader Chu."
"Oh, by the way, I see many young men in the unit are treating you badly. It’s all interesting. Do you like it?”
“Huh? No one is interested in me.” ? I don’t believe you didn’t notice.”
"...The Lord has arrived."
"Who did you fall in love with?"
"Uh...I...I didn't fall in love with anyone."
"Oh. , you have such high standards? Then tell me, what do you like? Let me ask you, do you want a handsome one or a strong one?”
“Oh, team leader, you want me Can you please stop asking?”
Gao Yu'e finally ran away and ran into the back room with a red face. How could she say such private words of a woman in front of a man?
"Hey, why did you run away? I've been here before, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Heng stared at Gao Yu'e who was jumping up and down and ran away. It wasn't until no one could be seen anymore that he closed the door in disappointment. Looking back, he asked Gao Ling, who was gnawing sesame seed cakes sickly: "How are you prepared?" Just check it again, no problem," Gao Ling said hurriedly.
“That’s good.”
Chu Heng smiled and nodded, and gave some instructions and psychological construction. At about half past seven, a staff member from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to the studio, asked about the preparations, and explained a few things. After saying that, he left in a hurry.
At eight o'clock, the first guest in the studio finally appeared.
Accompanied by two staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a woman who looked to be in her thirties walked in. Chu Heng smelled the curry smell on her body and knew it was Ah San without having to guess. She is from my brother's family. Looking at her relatively fair skin, she should be a high-caste noble.
As expected, after introduction, this woman was indeed from the Asan family, her name was Lulis Sharma, and she belonged to the highest caste Brahmin.
After hearing this name, Chu Heng's eyes instantly brightened. As the highest caste of the Asan family, he was born with many privileges and also had a lot of wealth.
I didn’t expect that the first one would be this big fat sheep!
He glanced secretly at Gao Ling, who was standing nervously aside.
Sharpen your knife!
Update three thousand first. I need to go out for something. If I can make it in time, I’ll be at the code point
