When I opened the entrance door, I saw the familiar layout and furnishings. Oh, you can remove the furnishings, because except for the kotatsu that was placed there before you left, everything else was already there. Talk about it.
There are no decorations. Not even potted flowers.
Half a month has passed, and this self-enclosed space is filled with an old smell. Although it is not to the extent that you can raise a pile of dust when you open the door, if you look carefully, you can see that it is covered with dust on both the floor and the walls.
If there is a thin layer of dust, it will basically be uninhabitable if it is not cleaned.
There is no need to figure out where to put the luggage first, the whole apartment needs to be cleaned.
"You should go back first. There is no place for you to sit in this situation." Xia Zhi put the luggage next to the wall of the entrance and opened the shoe cabinet embedded in the wall, because before leaving, he had thought that something might happen.
In such a situation, I used newspapers to clean the slippers that I didn't usually wear and covered them with newspapers. It seems to be of some use now.
Tachibana Aya hesitated, and then her eyes caught sight of another pair of washed shoes that Xia Zhi was about to hide: "Isn't there another pair?"
"Tsk..."
"Hello!"
Xia Zhi took out another pair of slippers and placed them in front of the entrance: "There will be a lot of dust when we clean it later. Are you wearing a mask?"
"Of course, no."
"...That's right. You wait here while I wipe the sofa. Don't run around later."
"I know. By the way, do you really not want me to help you clean it?"
"No thank you."
Xia Zhi resolutely refused her help, and then walked into the bathroom. The rags, buckets, mops and detergents used for cleaning were all here, but they were usually kept in the cabinet under the sink. It was natural after such a long time.
It was also covered with some dust. I didn’t dislike it much, so I turned on the faucet and rinsed it before use.
He filled half the bucket of water with a bucket, poured some detergent into it, threw the rag in and carried it out, and then he saw Tachibana Aya wandering next to the kotatsu, keeping his eyes on this
It was something she had always cared about, but she still knew that it couldn't be used now, so she didn't dig into it.
Even so, Xia Zhi is obviously not going to change the order of cleaning. He will also remove the kotatsu later and take it to the public clothes drying pole downstairs for ventilation. Although there is no sunshine and no warm air now.
, but a little ventilation and a pat should be enough. I wasn’t planning on cleaning it now, and it’s only been fifteen days, so it shouldn’t be so bad that it can’t be used without washing it.
Xia Zhi came to the sofa with a bucket. There was only a light layer of dust on it, which was something to be happy about. Xia Zhi wrung out the rag and wiped it gently on the sofa. Although it was a sofa style from several years ago, it was not
For Xia Zhi, who pays attention to these things, there is no difference. It is better to say that the sofa a few years ago was easier to clean, which is really popular.
After the wipe test, there were still light wet marks on the sofa, which was not a big problem.
"Wait for the sofa to dry before you sit on it." Natsuki told Tachibana Aya, threw the rag into the bucket, pulled up his sleeves, and prepared to dismantle the kotatsu, take out the quilt set and go outside to blow some air.
There was a lot of dust on this thing, so Xia Zhi had to open the window. The cold wind blew in, and Tachibana Aya shrank.
"It's so cold. Do you want to open the window?"
"Of course you have to open the windows when cleaning, otherwise when the dust kicks up and is inhaled into the lungs, you may get very troublesome diseases. And half a month has passed, so you have to ventilate it anyway, right?"
"I think it would be better if I came over later."
"I told you, there are a lot of things to do today." Xia Zhi spread his hands.
The order of cleaning is generally from top to bottom. If you mop the floor first, the dust on the desktop or other objects may fall to the ground when you clean it, which will greatly reduce the cleaning effect. And in order to facilitate cleaning, you can
Try to put everything away as much as possible, especially this kind of more thorough cleaning work. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move the bed, Xia Zhi would even want to put all this stuff downstairs for cleaning.
The curtains need to be disassembled and washed, as do the sheets and quilt covers, but now is not the time to wash such large pieces of fabric. You can put them away temporarily until the weather gets warmer, then wash them, and then put them outside. It is only January, and it can happen at any time.
When it snows, if the clothes have been washed and dried for more than ten or twenty days, they will have to be washed again, which may cause damage to these things.
This is the wisdom of cleaning!
Although it cannot be disassembled and washed, it is still necessary to take it off and shake it out. Regardless of Tachibana Aya sitting on the sofa doing nothing, Natsuki walked into the room, wiped the tabletop first, and then stepped on it after the water marks disappeared.
I took down the curtains with my feet. Although I also thought about asking Tachibana Aya to help me, this is not my style, and I am also a little worried that if she pulls the curtains off clumsily, it will be a disaster.
"Xia Zhi, where is your wireless network?"
"Ah? Oh, I turned off the router, please wait."
Xia Zhi got down from the table, threw one side of the curtain on the chair, then lowered his head and looked under the table. There was nothing where the router should have been. It seemed to be put away.
Xia Zhi rummaged through the cabinet and found the router. By the way, he also saw two photo frames placed next to it. They were a family photo (real) and a family photo (fake). The real one was Xia Zhi himself plus Xia Zhi.
In the dream, there were four people including his father and mother. In the fake picture, it was Xia Zhi himself and the store manager’s family of three. It had been almost a year, and many, many things had happened.
Xia Zhi sighed, put the two photo frames on the table, knelt down and got under the table, and put the router out.
"It's connected, check to see if it's there." Xia Zhi shouted, and it took almost ten seconds for Tachibana Aya to reply, "It's connected." Xia Zhi shook his head, stood on the table again, and said
The curtains on one side have not been taken down yet.
When Xia Zhi took down the curtains on both sides and walked out of the bedroom with them in his arms, Tachibana Aya was already lying on the sofa, although Xia Zhi couldn't figure out why she could do this when she was lying on her side.
She was so happy lying down with her head and legs hanging in the air, but she could still look at her phone while covering her mouth and laughing.
Won't she get tired just lying down and playing with her phone like this?
But he had other things to do, and Xia Zhi didn't want to worry about her. He took the curtains downstairs to the public clothes drying pole to dry them. In the past few days, the weather in Chiba was not very suitable for drying clothes, although it was not
It's almost raining, but the temperature is not high, and the wind is cold, so the efficiency of drying clothes is not very high. There are not even clothes of other residents of this apartment to dry on the public clothes drying pole, and it is summer now.
Got it.
When I went back to the apartment, I took out the sheets, quilt covers, pillows, and other items, hung them on them, and patted them with a clothes hanger. I just took them back when I was about to go to bed at night. I still had to clean them now.
Facts have proved that when a person is cleaning seriously while someone next to him is laughing and lazing around, a kind of nameless anger will indeed arise in the person. Xia Zhi wiped the table in the bedroom, and Tachibana Aya originally covered her mouth.
The deep laughter got louder and louder, and now it was laughing "hahahahaha" unscrupulously.
I'm so angry...but there's no good way.
Xia Zhi lowered his head and continued to wipe the table. Because there was only a thin layer of dust, he didn't clean it very hard. A gentle wipe was enough, but the tatami couldn't be cleaned like this.
It's quite comfortable, but all this comes at a price.
Although it is tempting to bend down like some animation works, press the rag with the palm of the hand and then step back and run, using the weight to achieve efficient relaxation, this is generally a cleaning method used in relatively large spaces, Xia Zhi's bedroom
It's obviously not such a good place, and it doesn't have the space to allow him to clean it so easily, which is a pity.
I wiped it with a rag bit by bit. Although the room was not big, the amount of exercise was still quite large. After wiping, there was a lot of sweat on my forehead. Tachibana Aya was still laughing, and she couldn't calm down. She had to find a way to do it.
She just needs to find something to do.
But it can't be cleaning, because I have seen her terrifying cleaning ability with my own eyes. She can't be allowed to run errands either. Except for snacks, she may mix up any similar-looking ingredients, and she will never bargain.
, although generally you can’t get a bargain even in convenience stores.
What she can do is extremely limited...
Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something he had brought from home.
Throwing the rag into the bucket, Xia Zhi stood up, walked out of the bedroom and came to the entrance. His suitcase was still thrown here. Putting the suitcase down, Xia Zhi saw the small box on the top at a glance.
, this is a gift bought for Tachibana Aya.
I took the box and walked to Tachibana Aya. She was looking at the phone screen and grinning. Although it was a bit abstract, her face shape was somewhat similar to funny. This was too scary.
"I almost forgot, this is a gift for you." Xia Zhi handed the box over.
Although she was looking at her phone, Tachibana Aya's focus was not on it. When Xia Zhi came over, she had already looked at him. She was stunned for a while until Xia Zhi handed over the small box.
"A gift? For me?"
"That's right. I originally wanted to bring you something to eat, but it's not easy to bring something like that on a cross-border flight, so I bought this for you. It just so happens that you can use it too."
"Wow..." Tachibana Aya took the box: "Can I open it now?"
"Whatever you want."
Then Tachibana Aya violently opened the box, and she tore off the entire corner of the box. Xia Zhi's eyes twitched.
"What are these...glasses? Blue light protection?" Tachibana Aya looked at it and quickly identified the true identity of the gift.
"Anyway, you have to look at computers and play with mobile phones all day long, so it's just right to give you this. But you already have it, and I can't afford something too expensive. If you don't use it, just give it back to me, and I can use it myself.
Yes. If you want other gifts, I will find a way to buy them for you after a while." Xia Zhi spread his hands.
"How can there be any reason to take back a gift given out? And isn't this just right? My pair of glasses has been used for a long time, and it's almost time to retire." Tachibana Aya looked at the glasses: "Me too
It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or not, I’m very happy if a gift is given to me. After all, I’m not short of money myself.”
"That last sentence is redundant." Xia Zhi couldn't help but said.
"How's it going? Does it look good?" Tachibana Aya didn't care what Xia Zhi said and just put on the glasses she just got. Xia Zhi felt that at least she bought the wrong glasses frame. Tachibana Aya's face is thinner and her hair is too.
She dyed her hair a little bit and turned it into brown, so she chose light blue bright glasses frames, which now seem to suit her very well.
"Not bad." Xia Zhi said to herself. Tachibana Aya sat there and giggled.
"Go and try the glasses to see if they work. I'll call you later during dinner."
"Understood!" Tachibana Aya stood up immediately: "Then I'll go back first and come back later."
After saying that, she took the glasses case and left. It could be seen that she was quite happy.
But... Xia Zhi glanced at the fragments of the cardboard box she threw on the ground and was speechless.
Although Tachibana Aya is indeed easy to deceive, and this way he can send her home, which makes Xia Zhi feel that her IQ may have dropped off after the Chinese New Year, but she will feel happy when she sees the person being given the gift happy.
It's not just the person who is being given the gift.
Xia Zhi sighed: "Forget it, let her go this time."
Then he turned around and walked back to the bedroom to clean. As the laughter that challenged people's patience disappeared, Xia Zhi felt that cleaning was much more comfortable, at least he would not feel unhappy, although the cleaning speed was slightly slower.
There has been some decrease, but the quality has also increased, which is generally a good thing.
Although the cleaning efficiency of one person is not very high, the apartment Xia Zhi rents is actually not very big. Except for cleaning the tatami, which takes a lot of time, other things can be solved quickly. Cleaning everything in the apartment
After cleaning, I threw the pots, dishes, chopsticks and other tableware into hot water to soak them. More than an hour had passed.
Although it was still a bit early, it was already time to start preparing dinner. Xia Zhi took her keys, wallet and mobile phone and walked out of the apartment. While thinking about what to cook tonight, she looked at the familiar face of herself.
Walk to the nearby convenience store.
"I don't really want to make too many things...but I have to go to school tomorrow, so it would be better to buy more ingredients? I also need to buy some eggs, drinks, meat and green peppers, and I don't seem to have enough salt...
"
Life has returned to a pattern that Xia Zhi is still familiar with.
