Chapter 85 Light a lamp for me
"Why did you come back suddenly?"
In the car, Hu Li, whose mood seemed to have stabilized again, asked with a nasal voice.
"Do you want to hear lies or the truth?"
"...a lie."
"The lie is, the reason I came back to pick you up was because it was hot and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to get a taxi."
"...Just like that time?"
"Yeah."
"What about the truth?"
"The truth is... not only me, but Sister Chu also saw that you were suppressing it. Neither of us felt at ease, so when we led the masters to the Garden of Fortune, we agreed that she would help you Go through the formalities and I’ll be back.”
"...Am I fragile?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie this time?"
"I want to hear what you have to say."
"This is not vulnerability, just your tenderness."
"..."
Hu Li stopped talking.
Lean on the seat and look ahead.
In this way, she drove in silence all the way to Fortune Garden. In her house, she saw Xu Ruochu, who was arranging for workers to unload trucks and arrange furniture.
Seeing the two people walking in, Xu Ruochu subconsciously looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao nodded slightly.
Xu Ruochu understood instantly, so he asked in a normal tone:
"Is this arrangement okay?"
"Yeah."
There was not much furniture to begin with, and when the whole home was originally designed, there was no very systematic division of areas.
Just like her previous home, the furniture is attached to the walls and the location is reasonable... it is the living environment she thinks is the most comfortable.
Moreover, the master who installed the air conditioner also came over and was busy installing the outdoor unit on the balcony.
Soon, all the masters had finished moving.
Lu Yao handed over the water he bought, thanked him for his hard work, and paid the bill.
The masters take the money and leave.
It's past 1 o'clock.
"Shall we go to dinner?"
Hu Li said.
Naturally, the two of them had no objections.
At this time, Lu Yao saw the mess left by the masters who installed the air conditioner, so he said:
"Sister Li, do you want a cleaner?"
"No."
Unexpectedly, Hu Li firmly refused this time:
"I clean up my own home, no need to clean it!"
Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.
Because...she saw Lu Yao's strange eyes.
She thought with her toes and knew what the other person was thinking about.
Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lu Yao's eyes quickly returned to normal and he nodded:
"After dinner, let's go to the supermarket to buy some housekeeping supplies."
"Well, there are also doghouses and the like. This place is reserved for Xiaobu."
She pointed to a floor tile about 80 centimeters between the armrest of the sofa and the wall.
"Okay."
At this time, Xu Ruochu's phone rang.
"Hello...huh?"
"...Okay, I understand, then I'll go back."
"Well, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao asked:
"Sister Chu, where are you going?"
"You..."
Xu Ruochu thought for a while and said:
"You go with her."
After saying that, he looked at Hu Li:
"There are guests at home and my dad is not here. I have to go back."
"Okay. Do you still want to eat?"
"I won't eat."
"Okay."
With her agreement, the three of them went downstairs together.
Xu Ruochu drove the SLK and left, leaving the X6 to the two of them.
After Hu Li got in the car, he said:
"I have to buy a car."
"Then...go to the 4S store?"
"No, I'll ask them to send one over... What car do you want to drive? How about the Bentley last time?"
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
I'm afraid that this sister will get a headache and really save one for herself.
He quickly shook his head and asked:
"What kind of car does Sister Li like?"
"I..."
She tilted her head again:
"Emmm... MINI. That car is small and easy to drive. I usually don't like driving, and this time we are driving ourselves and driving that big off-road car. To be honest, it is too big and uncomfortable to drive. ”
"Then MINI."
"What about you? What car do you like?"
Obviously, she didn't plan to let Lu Yao go yet.
But this time Lu Yao learned his skills.
After seeing this sister's "consumer desire", he was afraid that the other party would say "I'm in a bad mood, please let me vent".
He quickly said:
"I love trucks."
"The Ford one?"
"No, a big truck, the kind my dad pulls goods."
"..."
This time it was Hu Li's turn to be speechless.
"How do you drive in the city?"
"No, I don't really care about small cars, but I really like big trucks. I've been very happy following my dad's short-distance runs since I was a child."
"But you're about to start school."
"...whose college students drive to school?"
"That's right...you should keep a low profile in school. It's not good to be too high-profile."
"What shall we eat?"
"Let's go to the mall."
She said no more and made a phone call.
Just a few sentences in total:
"Hey, I want a MINI."
"The color... pick something good-looking. I'll take a look first and send it to you later. Is there a car available?"
"Okay, I'll tell you later."
So, she spent all the way to the supermarket choosing the color of the car, and asked Lu Yao to help her make reference.
In the end, she chose a car with a black roof and cyan body color.
It’s called Glass Sea Green.
Lu Yao thought she would choose red, but he didn't expect that she would choose such a relatively conservative color.
But...not to mention, the color is not ugly either.
After arriving at the mall, she couldn't walk on the first floor.
Because the clerk at a nearby snack shop gave her a small piece of duck neck to try.
Zhou Hei Ya in Hubei Province has become popular in the past two years, and the sweet and spicy taste is really good.
In addition, she was also hungry, so she simply chose this hot dry noodles restaurant.
After eating the hot dry noodles, duck neck, tofu skin, and a bowl of sweet rice wine per person, her lips pouted again and turned into the color of jelly.
She really likes spicy food.
But I really can’t eat spicy food.
After eating, the two went directly to the supermarket.
There are a lot of people in the supermarket right now.
When Lu Yao was holding the trolley, she was not paying attention and bumped into a couple who were walking towards the exit from the opposite side.
"Ah, I'm sorry."
She was the first to apologize.
The guy who got hit quickly said it was okay.
The three of them passed each other.
Hu Li rubbed his forehead.
Seeing this, Lu Yao suddenly said:
"Sister Li, come in."
"Huh?"
Hu Li was stunned, looked at Lu Yao pointing at the inside of the trolley, and said in a dumbfounded voice:
"I'm not a child."
"It doesn't matter, come."
He held out his hand.
"...How can I sit here? My legs can't fit in."
"It's not about letting you sit in a baby seat, it's about letting you sit directly in the car."
"Uh..."
Hu Li was stunned for a moment, and finally held Lu Yao's hand.
He raised his legs, pushed hard, and sat in.
She was still a little uncomfortable, but Lu Yao suddenly started to speed up:
"Let's go!"
"Ah!!"
She screamed.
But immediately a smile appeared on his face:
"Duck! Hahahaha..."
There was a silver bell-like laughter in the supermarket.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Lu Yao drove back to Fortune Garden, he saw two buddies in suits and ties standing in front of a MINI with red flowers hanging on it at the basement door of Hu Li's unit building.
Hu Li, who was also holding a bag of things in his hand, waved his hand:
"Don't want this mess, take it away quickly. Where is the key."
The two of them, who were about to exchange greetings when they saw the rightful owner, were embarrassed by the speechlessness.
Lu Yao quickly said:
"Please tell me the procedure. Do you need our signature?"
He gave a step.
One of the people quickly took out the car's paperwork.
"There are two places where you need to sign."
"Okay."
Hu Li quickly signed the formalities, and the other buddy respectfully handed over the key.
"Thank you both for waiting for so long, bye."
She took the key, opened the unit door, and walked in.
Lu Yao nodded politely to the two of them:
"We're in a bit of a hurry, so we'll go up first. Goodbye. Thank you for your hard work."
After hearing his words, Hu Li paused.
As he walked forward, he took out his mobile phone.
When entering the elevator, Lu Yao heard her voice:
"Hey, I received the car, and they gave me a handover ceremony. It was hot today, so I had to wait for a long time. These two people worked hard, and I have a good impression of them."
"Well, just look at the reward, I'm dead."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she smiled at Lu Yao and said:
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Lu Yaoxin said what's wrong with me...
Still, he gave a thumbs up.
She thought that maybe with this call from her, the two of them could get at least a thousand yuan more in salary next month.
All the way to her house, Lu Yao showed her arms and sleeves:
"Shall we begin?"
"GOGOGO, you have a house, I have a house, let's compete!"
"..." Lu Yao rolled his eyes directly:
"Division of labor, I'll clean the windows, you sweep the dirt off the floor, then wipe the furniture, and I'll mop the floor."
"Then be careful. You don't need to wipe the outside."
"It's okay. There is this magic window cleaning tool... If you insist on buying it, it's more than two hundred. I want to see if this thing is an IQ tax."
"Hmph! Let's see!"
Inexplicably, Lu Yao found that she was becoming more and more cute.
So, the two people with a clear division of labor began to clean up.
He concentrated on cleaning the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the front and back with this two-hundred-dollar thing, but Hu Li would often glance at him from time to time while sweeping the floor.
Then bursts of smiles will appear on your face.
He even hummed a song happily.
When Lu Yao heard the news, he said to his heart that you have a dog face, and you have changed so quickly.
After humming for a while, Hu Li said:
"Put on a song... Oh, yes, let's go buy a home theater in the next two days?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Okay."
Lu Yao agreed casually, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and started playing songs.
He remembered that Hu Li liked to listen to "Song of the Eagle" very much, and he chose this song as the first song.
After putting the phone aside, he listened to the melody she was humming on the phone and continued to clean the windows.
Not long after, suddenly, there was a song and the phone rang.
Hu Li, who just happened to walk up to him and hand him some water, took a look, then connected directly and handed the phone to him.
Xu Ruochen's voice sounded inside:
"Hello."
"...Are you awake?"
"Well, I just woke up...Brother Ruochen..."
"..."
"..."
Listening to what was happening on the phone, Hu Li and Lu Yao's expressions froze as they held the phone.
The sound on the phone was soft.
To say it's cute is an understatement.
Lu Yao felt cold sweat running down his back in an instant. He was afraid that the young master would do something else, so he quickly said:
"I'm helping Sister Li clean the house."
"...Ah?!"
The movement on Xu Ruochen's side became visibly chaotic.
Then he quickly said:
"It's okay, I'll just tell you to hang up."
Toot.
The phone hangs up.
"..."
He was speechless, pursed his lips, and secretly glanced at the woman next to him.
But Hu Li's expression became meaningful:
"Oh~"
Lu Yao's scalp gradually began to feel numb.
"Lu Yao~"
"...Eh."
"Classmate Xiaoji."
"What...what..."
"Didn't you say this morning...that it was just him and a few of his classmates?"
"I..."
Looking at Lu Yao's embarrassed look, Hu Li sneered:
"Haha, no wonder you didn't take me with you last night... Tell me the truth, did you go home last night?"
"...Sister Li, the breakfast you ate was made by my mother herself!"
He was categorical.
"Is Xiaochen upstairs at Xiaochu's house now?"
"He...is here."
He defends his teammates without hesitation.
But this time I am not so confident.
But his mind was spinning wildly, thinking about how to make amends.
"I can't tell, you are quite honest. Humph!"
Suddenly, she grabbed Lu Yao's ear.
But...
It doesn't hurt.
He just pinched and pulled gently, and then let him go.
Lu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Mr. Xu, you owe me a meal.
Otherwise...you may die without a burial place.
……
It's almost six o'clock, almost seven o'clock.
Lu Yao, who was covered in sweat, breathed a long sigh of relief again. Looking at the house with bright and clean windows, he felt quite accomplished.
"Cooking?"
she asked.
But Lu Yao looked embarrassed:
"Are you sure?...Sister, we have to choose an auspicious day to open the new house. This is called burning the bottom of the pot. We also have to steam buns, which means prosperity...How about going out to eat?"
"I don't pay attention to that. Life...is a human life. Don't you say that your cooking is delicious? Otherwise, why would you buy so many ingredients?"
"...Okay."
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Lu Yao had no choice but to nod.
The big purchase this afternoon is all kinds of pots and pans.
Not to mention, although this home still needs at least a month or two to taste suitable, it does look a bit like home.
After taking out all the ingredients he bought, he looked at the brand new kitchen. After making sure that the gas stove and everything were fine, he started to use it.
While he was performing, Hu Li was sitting on the old sofa, drinking water and looking towards the kitchen.
The more I look at it, the more I find it pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, listening to the clinking of pots and pans, she felt like she was at a symphony concert called "home".
I feel so good.
Lu Yao was busy for a while, and it was past seven o'clock.
At this time, it gradually started to get dark.
Lu Yao saw this and saw that Hu Li had not moved, so he urged:
"Sister Li, Xiaobu is still at Sister Chu's house."
"Oh yes."
Then she remembered, quickly woke up from the melody, and walked out quickly with the room card handed over by Lu Yao.
After Lu Yao covered the pot of braised pork, he looked at the dim living room and turned on the lights in the inner and outer rooms.
There is always a sense of ceremony in a new home.
The lights are bright and I hope the days ahead will be prosperous.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Coming out of the unit door of Xu Ruochu's house, Hu Li found that it was almost dark.
Xiaobu, who had been locked up for a day, saw the lawn and started to have fun again.
She originally wanted Xiao Bu to play, but her eyes subconsciously turned and looked in the direction of her home.
Suddenly he was stunned...
Her home, at some point, had lights on.
For a moment, she fell into a trance.
Reminiscing about my childhood again.
At that time... whenever I got out of school and walked into the community, I would always look at home like this.
You can also see the lights coming on in your own home.
Occasionally, you can even see your father or mother standing on the balcony looking over. When they see themselves carrying a schoolbag, they will smile and wave and call her:
"Lili, come on, the meal is ready."
Then he will speed up and run towards the light left for himself.
Thinking of this, she gradually woke up from her trance.
Shout to Xiaobu who is having fun:
"Xiaobu, hurry up, we're going home. It's time to eat."
Hearing her shout, Xiao Bu ran over in a hurry.
Hu Li picked it up and walked quickly towards home.
Go all the way into the elevator and open the door.
When the door opens...
She suddenly got goosebumps.
A long-lost feeling of homely fireworks came to my face.
Like a cannonball, it hit the door of her heart unreasonably.
Let the memories and senses begin to boil and surge.
At this time, Lu Yao, who heard the sound of the door opening, stuck his head out of the kitchen with an apron hanging on his body and a spatula in his hand.
"Come back..."
he laughed.
"Are you hungry?"
He actually said this to Xiao Bu.
After all, the newly bought dog food and rice bowl are here.
But he didn’t know...
As Xiaobu whimpered anxiously after smelling the aroma of meat, Hu Li stared at him blankly...
These two words he said kept echoing in my ears.
So familiar.
So...familiar.
As a result, her originally happy mood suddenly turned.
After placing Xiaobu on the ground, her mouth appeared in the shape of "W" again, and then...
She opened her arms towards Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was stunned, looking at Sister Yu who was looking over here and looking "wanting a hug" with a look of grievance on her face, and couldn't react for a moment.
But he was still hugged.
Instead of him hugging her, she hugged him.
Embrace.
breathe.
He even felt... the other party's hot breath penetrated the apron and spread to his chest.
At the same time... there was also a sense of restlessness, which made him subconsciously distance himself...
Then...
Hu Li hugged him for a long time.
Until Lu Yao reminded him:
"Sister Li, pot..."
"...Hmm."
Hu Li nodded, but didn't let him go.
After a while, I let him go.
Wiping a handful of tears, he said:
"Sorry..."
Her eyes were filled with guilt.
But the tips of the ears were red.
Some even dared not look directly at Lu Yao.
But after hearing this, Lu Yao was stunned...
Then, he pulled out the paper towel he just bought today in the kitchen and handed it to her with a smile:
"It's okay...Sister Li, happy to move into your new home. I hope...you will have a prosperous life in the future! Be happy!"
"...Hey."
Hu Li's eyes turned red again.
But this time, she smiled happily.
Nod vigorously:
"Hmm!"
This volume will end tomorrow.
