Chapter 162 Don’t get me wrong
Xiao Yangzhi was very busy and dug out a large pile of clothes to be washed.
Xu Mingyuan wanted to help, but Xiao Yangzhi looked around and asked him to help take down the curtains.
Yang Zhi has a strong sense of family. She always keeps the house clean on important holidays to greet the new day.
Xu Mingyuan wanted to remind her that everyone cleaned up the day before the holiday, but seeing that she was working so hard and enjoying it, he simply ignored it.
Yang Zhi firstly wanted to take good care of this family, and secondly, he wanted to prove that he was very useful.
She knew that Xu Mingyuan didn't care about this, but she had to find something to do, otherwise it would be the same whether she was there or not.
Yang Zhi usually cleaned up simply when she came back, sweeping the floor and wiping the windows and so on. Today it wasn't too troublesome, she just needed to wash some things.
Xu Mingyuan had nothing to do, so he logged into QQ and chatted with his old classmates.
During this period, Tao Shuxin secretly found an opportunity to call him and complained to him that her back still hurt after being slapped twice by her mother yesterday.
After being teased by Xu Mingyuan, she hung up the phone in shame and anger.
The curtains are not dirty, just wash off the dust. There is no need to soak them in advance. Just throw them into the washing machine for more than ten minutes, then spin dry and they will be clean.
This saved her a lot of free time, and she could sit next to Xu Mingyuan whenever she had the chance and watch what he was doing.
When the washing machine's timer stopped, I hurried over to change the next item to be washed.
Over and over again, her figure filled the whole room, like a hardworking little bee.
Xiao Yangzhi was busy all afternoon. Even the public clothesline downstairs was hung with sheets and quilt covers.
Smelling the smell of laundry all over the house, Xu Mingyuan felt tired without even looking.
Dinner was simple. Yang Zhi added some salt and boiled the chicken in water.
The freshly killed little stupid chicken tasted okay even without any seasoning.
"Brother, I'm a little tired..."
Yang Zhi rubbed her legs and looked at Xu Mingyuan embarrassedly.
She wasn't lying, she was really tired.
The washing machine was only semi-automatic, so I had to put the heavy, wet curtains into the spin-drying tub myself.
One piece is easy enough, but with a room full of curtains, bed sheets, quilt covers, and clothes, both arms are sore.
"Don't you want to go out and look at the moon?"
“You can watch it at home.”
"Then I won't go."
Seeing that she was so tired that her whole body was sore, Xu Mingyuan didn't want to go out again.
After the millennium, the population has become more mobile. Although the concept of family has not been completely broken down into atoms, the atmosphere during festivals is no longer as strong as it was in the 1980s and 1990s.
Now when I go out, I can only watch others fly Kongming lanterns, which is not very interesting.
Xu Mingyuan knew very well that Xiao Yangzhi didn't want to go out and wanted to stay with him.
The more introverted a person is, the lonelier he feels.
This little girl has been tossed around like a sandbag since she was a child. She is a poor person who is not loved by her grandma and uncle.
She was finally about to grow up, but in the end her biological mother abandoned her. Xu Mingyuan couldn't imagine how big the psychological trauma was for her.
"Teacher Gao asked you to give a speech on the rostrum on Monday, why didn't you go?"
"I can not……"
"Why would you be afraid of that? Just read the speech. Can't you write? Or you can just copy a passage from the Internet."
"Brother, do you want me to go on stage and give a speech?"
Yang Zhi looked up at him eagerly.
"Well... I don't care. Just listen to the teacher. The teacher is doing this for your own good. He just wants you to train yourself."
Xu Mingyuan thought for a moment and said tactfully.
"Then I'm not going."
Yang Zhi answered readily.
"Haha, isn't it good to practice your courage?"
Xu Mingyuan thought she would hesitate and ask her what to do as before, and then he would make a decision for her, but he didn't expect her to answer so quickly this time. "Brother said no matter what."
Thinking of the densely packed crowd below the podium, Yang Zhi felt a little trembling. She didn't want to attract attention and just wanted to blend in with the crowd as a spectator.
"Okay, I won't care about you from now on." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Brother... you still have to take care of it from now on..."
Yang Zhi struggled weakly and hugged his arms tightly.
Xu Mingyuan smiled and rubbed her little head.
Little Yangzhi didn't keep pestering him. She would lean against the window from time to time to look at the moon, and check to see if the curtains and bed sheets were blown away by the wind.
Xiao Yangzhi is too cautious and always worries about trivial things.
Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to take her downstairs to collect all the items.
Bed sheets and pillowcases do not have elastic bands like clothes. After washing, you can spin dry them and hang them outside for a few hours to dry completely.
The hooks of the curtains were a little damp, so I had to leave them at home overnight.
After bringing all the items back home, Xiao Yangzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After spending twenty minutes tidying up the sheets and quilts, Yang Zhi poked her head out and said, "Brother, everything is ready. Do you want to see the moon?"
"What's there to see? If you want to see it, go and see it yourself." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Oh."
Yang Zhi retracted his head.
After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Yangzhi still didn't come out.
Xu Mingyuan walked over and took a look, and found that her head was facing the window, her little face was calm, and she was staring out the window motionlessly.
"You're not asleep? I thought you were asleep."
"No, I really like looking at the stars and the moon. Today's moon is so round and beautiful."
"Is it?"
Xu Mingyuan looked out the window. The window of the master bedroom faced southwest, and he could clearly see a full moon hanging high in the sky.
"Yeah, it would be nice if there were a few clouds. I like it best when the clouds brush past the moon. It's so beautiful."
"I haven't paid attention to these." Xu Mingyuan smiled.
"You can come and take a look, brother, please sit down first."
Yang Zhi jumped off the bed, ran to the living room in her slippers, and turned off all the lights in the living room.
Then Yang Zhi ran back to the room, thought for a while, and turned off the desk lamp switch.
I didn’t hang the curtains tonight and the moon outside is very round, so the room isn’t very dark.
Little Yangzhi sat cautiously on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees and looking out the window, which was flickering with light in the dark night.
Xu Mingyuan obviously didn't have the leisure time like her. He said a few perfunctorily and continued to fiddle with his phone.
After a while, Xu Mingyuan felt a little sleepy, so he said to her, "Go back to your room and sleep."
"Brother, don't chase me away, I just want to stay a little longer, brother, don't worry, I won't do anything to you..."
Yang Zhi mumbled softly.
Xu Mingyuan was stunned and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to say..."
When Xiao Yangzhi heard Xu Mingyuan laughing, her cheeks instantly became hot.
He hemmed and hawed for a long time but couldn't make out a clear statement. In the end, his face turned red and he wanted to slip away in a daze.
But it was not dark in the room, but it was dark under the bed. I stretched my feet and searched for a long time but couldn't find the slippers.
"No misunderstanding, stay here."
Seeing that she was as nervous as a little quail, Xu Mingyuan grabbed it back for her.
