The monthly rent for a house with two bedrooms and one living room is 800, because the water and electricity bills for cooking will definitely be higher.
Wu Ya and Li Xiangxiang said: "If you don't plan to cook, I will pay ten yuan for the water and electricity bill every month; if you do it occasionally, I will give you fifteen yuan; if you do it regularly, we will split the cost equally."
The eldest sister has said that matters involving money must be explained clearly first, and you should be a villain before being a gentleman. This can avoid subsequent conflicts.
Li Xiangxiang also cooked when she lived in an urban village before. But without a kitchen, she could only use a rice cooker to cook instant noodles or stew a pot of rice. Now that there is a kitchen, she will definitely cook, both to keep it clean and to save money.
.
Although Li Xiangxiang is frugal, she doesn't like to take advantage of others, saying that her utility bills are flat.
Wuya said: "From Monday to Friday, whoever comes back first gets to cook first. On Saturday and Sunday, we take turns doing the cleaning. We take turns from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday we do the cleaning."
Li Xiangxiang felt that she made the distinction too clearly, and felt a little weird, but she still agreed.
Wuya always makes breakfast by herself, including porridge, noodles, noodle soup, pancakes, steamed buns or dumplings, which are interchangeable words. She has made the buns and dumplings on Sunday and put them in the refrigerator, so that she can eat them in the morning at work and cook them.
It's ready to eat.
Li Xiangxiang took a bite of the steamed bun, and then picked up a pickle with chopsticks: "Tian Fu, the pickles you make are really delicious, they are better than those bought outside."
Wu Ya smiled and said: "The pickles, pickled radishes and pickled bamboo shoots made by my aunt are all delicious. But now is not the season for radish and bamboo shoots."
Her eldest sister and fourth sister both love to eat it. They both say it is delicious, and the taste is imaginable. The eldest aunt also passed on this skill to her eldest cousin, and she made it and sold it with braised vegetables, and the sales volume was considerable.
.
After Li Xiangxiang had eaten, she said: "Tian Fu, your family has a really good relationship with relatives. It's not like our relatives. Alas, it's hard to describe in just one sentence."
Wu Ya said that every family has a hard time settling accounts: "My uncle is very good, but my second uncle and second aunt are not only snobbish, but also unfilial. Because they abused my grandmother, my mother and uncle severed ties with him.
.”
In the past, the relationship between her family and her grandmother, second uncle, and third uncle were not good, and they would fight each other when they met. After the eldest sister became successful, the grandmother lowered her head, and the third uncle and the third aunt also tried to please her mother, so the relationship eased. Of course, it was just
In order to prevent others from gossiping because of their good looks, the sisters did not get too close to them.
Li Xiangxiang was a little sad.
The house they rented is very close to the company, less than ten minutes' walk. The two of them calculated the time every day, walked there after breakfast, and chatted while walking.
Li Xiangxiang said: "Tian Fu, how much is the refrigerator? I will get the money for you later."
Wuya chuckled and said: "The refrigerator, pots and pans have been used for almost two years, how can I ask for your money!"
"Isn't that taking advantage of you?"
Wu Ya said with a smile: "I have to use it even if you don't come. I can't count it as money if you come. But in the future, if we buy public things, each of us will have to pay half.
"no problem."
Li Xiangxiang got off work first that day, so she cooked rice and stir-fried vegetables. She had just finished frying the vegetables and came back. She smelled the aroma of the food and thought it was good for two people to live together. But when she was waiting to eat, she found that the fried pork with peppers was bland and the tomatoes
The egg soup was salty again.
Wu Ya said: "Xiangxiang, from now on you have to come back first to prepare the dishes and wait for me to come back to fry them. If I work overtime, I will tell you before I get off work."
Li Xiangxiangba had to cook! Although she was born in a rural family and could do all kinds of work outside the home, she didn't like cooking, so the taste was just like that.
The next day after eating Wuya's cooking, she was overjoyed: "Tian Fu, if I knew you were so good at cooking, I would have moved here to live with you."
Just for the craftsmanship, the extra three hundred yuan in rent is worth it! The food here is much better than before, and the most important thing is that the cost is about the same.
"Eat more if you like it."
On the way to the company, Li Xiangxiang said: "Tian Fu, let's go shopping on Sunday! I haven't gone shopping for a long time and want to buy some clothes."
Wuya smiled and said: "You don't have such a heavy burden now. You need to buy more clothes and dress yourself up."
Speaking of this, Li Xiangxiang pushed her and lowered her voice and said: "Tian Fu, Zhou Jian from the marketing department is interested in you!"
Wuya talked about her criteria for choosing a mate: "He is over 1.76 meters tall, good-looking, and his salary cannot be lower than mine. If he meets these conditions, I will contact him."
Li Xiangxiang clicked her tongue after hearing this and said: "Tian Fu, these conditions are easy to find separately, but it is difficult to find them together."
Wu Ya thinks these conditions are pretty good. Unlike her fourth sister, who has a bachelor's degree or above, and is looking for someone from a well-off family. In fact, many men have shown interest in her in the past two years, but none of them have met her liking.
“You can always find someone you’re satisfied with.”
On Sunday, the two of them went shopping for clothes. Wuya took her to the wholesale market, where she and Sanya had been.
Li Xiangxiang originally thought that going to the wholesale market would be very cheap, but ended up buying five sets of clothes for more than 1,600. After buying them, her body ached so much that she shouted that she would never go shopping with Wuya again. She had never been so luxurious when she was so old.
Pass.
Wuya smiled and said: "You get what you pay for. Good clothes will make you look more elegant when you wear them. These clothes of yours look much better than your previous clothes."
Li Xiangxiang did not deny this, but she thought it was too expensive and spent nearly half of her salary.
Wu Ya advised: "Don't be reluctant. Let's take care of ourselves while we are still single. If nothing else, dress up every day and you will feel better. Otherwise, when you get married and have children, you will be around all day long.
I can’t even think of dressing up properly because of my family.”
Of course, this situation only applies to people in ordinary families. For example, her eldest sister had a child and asked two aunts to take care of her. She took good care of herself and went to work as usual, and she dressed up beautifully every day. She didn't ask to be rich.
But I can’t earn less than her, otherwise I’ll be too tired.
"I listen to you and dress better from now on."
Wuya smiled and said, "If you really listen to me, just replace your black-rimmed glasses with contact lenses and go to the barber shop to get a haircut."
"Didn't you say before that no man has ever pursued you after so many years of working? You have to follow what I say, and I guarantee that the people who pursue you will line up from our department to the gate."
Li Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "How can it be so exaggerated?"
"If you believe me, let's go."
Li Xiangxiang thought that she was twenty-three years old and it was time to find a partner. If she didn't change her image and it remained like this, no one would pursue her. In two years, her parents would urge her to get married.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll listen to you and buy a pair of contact lenses first, and then get my hair done."
Seeing her looking like she was about to go to the execution ground, Wu Ya was overjoyed. She remembered that her mother used to be like this, spending money as if it would cost her her life. Fortunately, in these years, she was more willing to do so than before.
