Chapter 384: Cohabitation Era

Chapter 384: Cohabitation Era
Yang Zhi really likes to be in a daze, but it is impossible for her to be in a daze for the whole day.

As a hard-working little bee, Yang Zhi rummaged through the drawers and found a bag of new rags before Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin finished their breakfast.

Tao Shuxin didn't notice why Xiao Yangzhi found the rag in the cabinet, she just felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Xiao Zhizhi, don't clean up. You came to Jiangcheng to play, not to clean up."

Tao Shuxin quickly drank the last mouthful of millet porridge, put down her bowl and chopsticks and tried to stop her.

"It's okay. I clean the house at home too."

Yang Zhi took a step to the side, avoiding Tao Shuxin who was trying to stop her.

"This is so bad." Tao Shuxin said awkwardly.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I will move here when I go to college." Yang Zhi said in a flat tone.

"Oh, yes, you also want to apply for a day school..."

Tao Shuxin had been warned about this matter in advance by Xu Mingyuan, so she was not surprised.

But when Tao Shuxin saw Xiao Yangzhi carrying a basin of water and wiping the table in the living room, she still felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Xiao Yangzhi had never lived here before, so it was really unbearable for her to clean up the place.

On the other hand, Xu Mingyuan was still drinking porridge leisurely, not caring at all whether Xiao Yangzhi was working or not.

Because Xu Mingyuan knew very well that every time this little girl felt guilty, she would find something to do.

In the past, I didn’t want to eat white rice because I was afraid of being kicked out of the house. Now, I suddenly intervene in the small family and I am still worried about being kicked out.

Instead of letting the sensitive little Yangzhi guess blindly, it is better to let her do some work. It can not only exercise the body, but also relax the mind, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course Tao Shuxin had no idea about the twists and turns involved. She just felt that Xu Mingyuan was not only shameless, but also felt at ease ordering Xiao Yangzhi, who had just finished the college entrance examination, around. She was immediately furious.

"Hey! Xu Mingyuan, are you still eating there?" Tao Shuxin said.

"Yeah, aren't you going to eat anymore? There's still a big bowl of porridge. The cucumbers pounded by Xiao Yangzhi are delicious. Would you like to eat some?" Xu Mingyuan replied indifferently.

"Aren't you going to help her?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"My brother is very tired every day, but I can do it on my own." Yang Zhi took over her words.

"He's not tired at all, he's as strong as an ox..." Tao Shuxin complained in a low voice.

"But cows also get tired," said Yang Zhi.

"Hehehe..."

Xu Mingyuan chewed a bun and let out a muffled laugh.

"..."

The simple little Yang Zhi naturally didn't understand what the two people were talking about. Tao Shuxin also wanted to laugh when she heard her answer, but when she saw Xu Mingyuan laughed first, she glared at him with a slightly red face.

"Wow, Xiao Zhizhi, you really love to tidy up. Whoever marries you in the future will definitely be very happy." Tao Shuxin said with emotion.

"Ok!"

Little Yangzhi understood what was said and nodded in agreement. She also raised her eyes to glance at Xu Mingyuan who was still eating buns.

Xu Mingyuan, who seemed to be doing nothing, was actually the most clear-headed person among the three. He could understand whatever the two of them said.

The most nervous person among them was Xu Mingyuan himself.

It's just a mixture of pain and happiness, nothing interesting...

In Yang Zhi's eyes, the little home bought by Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin looked very clean at first glance, but it was actually very dirty.

Both of them are relatively lazy. Although Tao Shuxin is more diligent than Xu Mingyuan, compared with Yang Zhi, she is an absolute lazy girl.

Yang Zhi looked down on the nanny at home who took three days to clean the whole room, not to mention Tao Shuxin who didn't do a thorough cleaning for half a month.

Like the dust in the corner, who knows how long it has been accumulated, Yang Zhi took a broom and swept out the small spider web.

Xu Mingyuan was thick-skinned, but he couldn't resist Tao Shuxin's glance at him from time to time, motioning him to come over and help.

The small house looks quite small. The total usable area of ​​the first floor is only more than 80 square meters, which is not as big as the original plastic steel family building.

The main thing is that the attic occupies a certain area, and with the balcony it feels like the area is not small.

The three of them spent the entire morning wiping the cabinet furnishings with rags. They even found one of Tao Shuxin's socks that had been lost for half a year under the sofa.

At that time, the unfortunate child insisted that it was Xu Mingyuan who stole it, as if there was a hole in his brain. If he wanted it, he could just force the girl to take it off. Why would he need to steal it?
The first floor is easy to clean.

Although Tao Shuxin is a bit lazy, he still takes time to clean up once a week, and only the corners and crevices are difficult to deal with.

The attic is quite dirty.

Tao Shuxin had chosen the house with a attic on a whim, but after her interest in it faded, she rarely went there and basically used it as a storage room.

"Sister Taotao, is this still useful?"

Yang Zhi took out a mattress from the cardboard box and said to Tao Shuxin.

"What is this? Oh, it's useless."

Tao Shuxin shook her head. This was the mattress that the school distributed to her when she first enrolled the year before last.

Later, Tao Shuxin took some high-quality pure cotton bedding from home and moved the bedding given to her by the school from the dormitory here. If Xiao Yangzhi hadn't found it, she would have almost forgotten about it.

"Then throw it away."

As long as it was not hers or her brother's, Yang Zhi was not stingy and decided to throw it away without hesitation.

"Oh, throw it away. It's useless to keep it." Tao Shuxin nodded. "You don't want this pillow anymore?"

Yang Zhi pulled out another dusty pillow from the corner.

"This... seems to belong to your brother. He threw it here because he felt uncomfortable using it as a pillow. It hasn't been used for a long time, so throw it away." Tao Shuxin said.

"You can sew two small pillows, they are quite soft."

Yang Zhi pinched it, took off the dirty pillowcase, took out the cotton inside and placed it on the small round table.

"Yes, you are so smart."

Tao Shuxin nodded repeatedly.

Few people treat life better than Yang Zhi. It's not because she has a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, but because her room occupies most of her world, so she naturally takes every detail seriously.

As Yang Zhi rummaged through boxes and cabinets, even the scraps of specialized repairs that had been hidden in the corner for two years were dug out.

"Brother, are these still usable?" Yang Zhi asked with a frown.

It’s not good to have a house that is too small. There is no storage room to store some sundries, and it’s uncomfortable to see them all in front of you.

"Throw it all away."

For example, there is no need to use so many tiles reserved after decoration. It is enough to keep a few for replacement. There are also some decoration tools that are not used at all. Even if they are broken, workers must be hired to repair them.

Xu Mingyuan packed out a small box and took the rest downstairs and threw them away.

In just one morning, a huge pile of garbage was cleaned up.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi's enthusiasm in cleaning up, Xu Mingyuan thought that if he didn't throw away the trash now, he might clean up more in the afternoon.

There was no other way. The girl definitely couldn't carry some of the renovation waste, so Xu Mingyuan had to take it away and throw it away.

The main reason was that Xu Mingyuan also wanted to escape from this place of trouble. Following Xiao Yangzhi around was already causing enough trouble for him, and he felt too embarrassed to play on the computer when he saw the little girl working hard at cleaning.

After strolling downstairs for half an hour, Xu Mingyuan felt that the time was about up, so he went to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes, killing some more time.

When he returned home with the food, Tao Shuxin immediately rushed up to settle the score with him.

"Good job, Xu Mingyuan! You are so nice. What were you doing? Why did you come back so late?"

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was slacking off and leaving herself and Xiao Yangzhi to clean up, Tao Shuxin pinched her waist with great resentment, and even her face was puffed up.

Even if Xu Mingyuan doesn't want to work, it would be nice to just follow him and give him some emotional value.

"I'm going to buy some food. Aren't you hungry after working for so long?" Xu Mingyuan said righteously.

"You'd better go buy food. It took you so long. I guess you went to help in the kitchen?"

Tao Shuxin exposed Xu Mingyuan's lie in a sarcastic tone. After all, they had ordered the food to be delivered so long ago. It took more than half an hour to prepare and deliver the food. Who would have thought that he would not go home for an hour?

"Oh! You actually guessed it. Today's braised pork ribs were made by me. How about going and trying it?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Go aside."

Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes, but still took the bag from his hand and went to eat.

After meal.

Tao Shuxin was so tired that she couldn't bear it any longer. Plus, she went to bed late and got up early. Less than two minutes after she collapsed on the sofa, she began to snore softly.

Xiao Yangzhi was the kind of girl who would feel uncomfortable if she didn't finish the work at hand, so Xu Mingyuan simply followed her and helped her.

Yang Zhi no longer asked Xu Mingyuan to take a rest. Since Tao Shuxin was content to order him around, there was nothing wrong with him accompanying her.

The balcony outside was covered with dust. Yang Zhi looked at the tiles and was afraid of slipping. Although Xu Mingyuan said they were non-slip tiles, she was afraid of heights and didn't dare to get close to the fence.

"Brother, can you flush this place?"

When Yang Zhi saw Xu Mingyuan bringing up a full basin, she pointed to the corner of the balcony.

"it is good."

Xu Mingyuan waited until she finished sweeping and then poured water on it.

After going back and forth several times, Yang Zhi carefully wiped the balcony twice with the mop. The balcony, which had not been visited for a long time, was now cleaned so well that even walking barefoot would not get dust on it.

There used to be several pots of flowers at home, but under the careful care of Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin, even the cactus died. Thinking that out of sight, out of mind, they even threw away the pots.

On the contrary, there is a pot of roses in the corner of the balcony. Because no one has taken care of it for a long time and it has not even been moved into the room in winter, it has been exposed to wind and rain. Now it has formed pink buds. It will probably bloom in a few days.

Yang Zhi doesn't know how to trim flowers and plants, but when he sees dead branches and fallen leaves, he can't resist the obsessive-compulsive disorder in his heart, so he takes a pair of small scissors and cuts them off.

After picking up the dead branches and rotten leaves in the pot, Yangzhi breathed a sigh of relief and his mood became better.

"Brother, it's nice to be with me, right?"

Seeing Xu Mingyuan squatting beside her and watching her clean up, Yang Zhi boasted in a low voice.

"Yes, with you, everything feels comfortable."

Xu Mingyuan looked around and realized that it was like a new home after he cleaned up.

"Ah."

Yang Zhi quietly leaned towards him and let him hug her.

It feels good to be sneaky, and it would be even better if Tao Shuxin saw it...
