She said this out of good intentions. She had been in contact with Mu Jiajun and Sister Deng for so long, and she considered the three of them to be friends.
What's more, these two people taught her a lot in study, and they were both teachers and friends.
If her friend had to clean up a house of clutter late at night after her friend taught her to study tonight, she would feel uneasy just thinking about it.
Sister Deng has long been fed up with being crowded by luggage. She feels like she can't continue knitting even if she wants to, but she can't take the initiative to do so.
After all, all the interactions between her and Mu Jiajun came from Chu Ye. The two of them were not particularly close in normal times, and she didn't want to speak rashly. .
What's more, she vaguely noticed that Mu Jiajun's attitude towards Chu Ye was unusual.
Speaking of Mu Jiajun's temper, it is indeed first-class. Whether it is the educated youth or the people in the village, he always has a bright smile on his face.
Not to mention her appearance, she looks like she has the best-looking genes in her family.
However, it can also be seen in the interactions that Mu Jiajun is polite to others because of his good upbringing, and his every move is full of etiquette and cultivation.
Only when he was in front of Chu Ye, he occasionally showed some things outside of his personality, which she had never seen elsewhere.
Because of this, she did not intend to take the initiative to help Mu Jiajun.
But it was different when Chu Ye opened his mouth.
Mu Jiajun helped her a lot in her studies, and it was reasonable for her to repay him with labor.
When Chu Ye asked, Mu Jiajun was stunned for a moment. After a while, he refused, "No, I can do it myself."
It's just a matter of spending more time. His hands and feet are fine, so he doesn't need to trouble others.
Hearing this, Chu Ye did not speak. She tiptoed to the desk, put the cloth bag on it, and then noticed that there were many books missing from the desk.
She comforted Sister Deng first, "Sister, I will help him pack his things first and come to study later."
After saying that, she looked at Mu Jiajun and said seriously, "Normally I have nothing to repay you. Now that there is work that I can do, let's clean it up together. It will be faster this way and free up space for study."
Mu Jiajun looked at Chu Ye and then at the piles in the room. The two faced off for a while, and saw that Chu Ye was determined to help him clean up, and was finally defeated.
"Okay, but let me take a look at my things first, and I'll give you the ones that suit you. How about that?" Mu Jiajun made his final retreat.
Chu Ye was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence. Then she saw Mu Jiajun quickly shuttle among the packages. He opened the packages one by one and took a look at them. After confirming the contents, he put them in one pile next to the bed. By the desk.
Then she saw the fabric exposed from the package. It was soft and shiny. It was the same material as his bedding she had seen before. She looked at another pile, which should be clothes or something.
Then she realized it instantly.
Mu Jiajun should have put the more personal things on his side and tidied them up himself.
On her side, Chu Ye looked down and saw some books and some snacks through the gaps in the package.
When Mu Jiajun was almost divided, the two began to work. Sister Deng watched from the side and felt that it was inappropriate, so she simply put down the stick and needle in her hand and joined Chu Ye's team.
While working, Chu Ye accidentally saw that Mu Jiajun was very skillful in laying out sheets. After he laid out the mattress, he took out a piece of light blue sheet from his luggage. This was still a fabric she had never seen before, and looked at it. Just slippery.
Then I saw him shaking the sheets away, his arms shaking, and the sheets flying in mid-air like a fairy's skirt. Then his hands sank, and the sheets were spread steadily on the mattress.
Then he folded the hanging corners and stuffed them under the mattress, and then ran his hands across the fabric to make it fit the mattress.
After this set of movements, he was so smooth that he looked directly at Chu Ye.
She originally thought that this kind of young master would not be able to do these housework. After all, when Mu Jiajun revealed his family's background before, he said that they had several servants in the family who took care of the family's daily life.
She couldn't believe that this kind of family would let the young master make his own bed?
Chu Ye's eyes were straightforward, and they were full of words about how you are so good at doing housework. Mu Jiajun felt funny for a moment and did not dare to think about what kind of image he had in her mind. He asked back, "You don't think I am an idiot in life." Right? ”
Chu Ye didn't nod or shake her head, but there were a few words in her eyes: It's so strange.
Mu Jiajun laughed angrily, "Even if I don't do this at home, I have seen how the servants do it."
"Besides, after I came here, I did everything by myself. The more I did it, the more I became proficient."
Sister Deng nodded in agreement from behind, and she silently added, "Indeed. He is so skilled because he loves to be clean the most. He changes the bed sheets and quilts once a week. If you go to the well on Sunday morning, you can see him squeaking. He washed these things in a hurry. ”
Chu Ye's eyes were full of shock, while Mu Jiajun looked a little embarrassed because he was exposed, but because he was telling the truth, he chose not to answer the question and turned around to continue spreading the quilt. Chu Ye couldn't imagine the scene of a young master with such a mixed-race face sitting by the well washing sheets.
But seeing that Mu Jiajun didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any more.
The work of the three of them was indeed much faster. After a while, Mu Jiajun's place was tidied up. Chu Ye and Sister Deng also put his books back in place. But when Chu Ye opened another package, there was something inside. Several brown leather notebooks.
Chu Ye didn't move, fearing that there was something private inside, but Mu Jiajun over there saw this.
With joy in his eyes, he walked over in a few steps and took out the notebook.
There were three books in total, all of which were about the thickness of a finger. He picked them up and opened them one by one. After confirming that they were correct, he handed them to Chu Ye, "These are the notes I took when I was in junior high school. They also recorded a lot of question types. You can take them." Go back and look through it more to see if it helps you learn.”
Chu Ye was stunned and blinked. She knew that Mu Jiajun had graduated from high school, so his family would not send him junior high school stuff for no reason.
"How did you..."
"Hey, I looked at your exercise book before and found that some of the questions on it were not very good. It happened that my family wanted to send me something, so I wrote a letter asking them to find my school notes and bring them to me." Jun said it easily, but in his opinion, this was just a matter of convenience.
His notebook was gathering dust at home anyway, so he might as well take it out and put it to use again.
He is not a good person. In his opinion, the word "good person" means randomness.
Putting aside the fact that Chu Ye was his savior, he was sincere and saw in her a desire for knowledge and schooling.
When he was in high school, he was very good at studying. His classmates often asked him questions during class breaks, and many of them knew everything. They were far smarter than Chu Ye.
This is a fact that people have to admit. Even though Chu Ye has been top-notch in studies since she was a child, and even ranked first in her grade in junior high school, she went to a school in the village or town after all.
There is still a gap in education with higher-level schools. Chu Ye is smart, but on the campus where he goes to school, people like Chu Ye are average.
But it was Chu Ye who made Mu Jiajun notice something different about her, which was that she tried her best to study and took exams as if she was burning herself.
He could clearly detect Chu Ye's progress. Taking English as an example, he still needed to speak some phonetic symbols at the beginning. Even when he asked questions the next day, Chu Ye often couldn't answer them.
But now she can have some simple conversations.
Although the accent is still inseparable from the words, it is much better than the beginning.
He turned his eyes and found Chu Ye in a daze.
After Chu Ye reacted, he immediately took it with both hands and bowed deeply, "Thank you!"
Sister Deng sat on the bench and propped her head up to watch the two people's movements. She could feel Chu Ye's inner ups and downs when he received the notebook, and felt sad again a moment later.
In the past month of contact, she knew that Chu Ye was a person who did not dare to give, perhaps because he had not been loved much at home. She carefully contained her emotions, and only showed a little relief when she felt that she had made progress in her studies.
She thought of herself. When she was in school, whenever her grades improved a little, she would happily run home and let her parents reward her.
Seeing that the two people were silent, she took the initiative to pick up the topic, "Hey, Mu Jiajun, what do you have in this bag?"
She pointed to the last package on the ground. The package was not small, and it was too tight to see clearly.
Sister Deng's words broke the atmosphere between the two of them. Mu Jiajun turned his head, took a look, and walked over and said, "The rest should be the food sent from home."
He opened the package, and the contents immediately flowed out like a flood. There were canned meat in iron boxes, malted milk, toffee, dried meat and dried fruits, and there were a lot of each.
Chu Ye and Sister Deng were stunned for a moment. It must be because of how rich their family is and how much they love their little son. They send all kinds of food one after another, and there are new ones every time. I'm afraid it's not the department store that only has fresh food. , they all quickly bought it.
The two were once again shocked by the financial resources of Mu Jiajun's family.
Mu Jiajun was used to it, and he always kept some simple meals at home. Sometimes when people were hungry before meal time, they would take these cushions first.
Moreover, his grandfather is old, and his parents are worried about his health and often buy some supplements home.
However, in the past, the family would not give him so much at once. Firstly, they were afraid that he would get tired of eating it, and secondly, they were afraid that it would not taste good after being kept for a long time. They would rather have someone deliver it a few more times.
And this time it was because he wrote a letter to his family specifically, briefly telling them about falling into the water, and emphasizing that he should buy more and he would share it with his savior.
At this moment, he had already started to divide the food into three equal portions, one for each of the three people.
