Chapter 42 Eavesdropping is the most annoying thing
Sitting at the dining table, Xia Zhi looked at the bowl in front of him that was twice as high as a rice bowl because of the various dishes placed there. He also looked at Xiaoyao sitting next to him, who obviously didn't have as much food in his bowl as he did.
Xia Zhi smiled awkwardly while looking at the bowl with nothing but rice by the store manager sitting opposite him. Someone glared at him.
"If you don't finish this whole bowl today, you won't be able to leave."
The store manager made harsh words.
Xia Zhi said that this was an obvious personal jealousy.
Originally, her bowl didn't have that many things. Because Xiaoyao was a bit picky about food, Sister Sayuri had to put a little of each dish into her bowl. By the way, the dishes in Xia Zhi's bowl sitting next to her also changed.
I had to hide. But Xiaoyao was a picky eater, so she put the dish she didn't like into Xia Zhi's bowl with a frown on her face: "Brother Xia Zhi, eat this, mom's cooking is delicious."
Xia Zhi watched dumbfounded as she put the vegetables she didn't like into her bowl, and then piled them more and more. Probably because of her presence, Sister Sayuri just glared at her lightly and didn't say anything more.
.Originally, Sister Sayuri was not very willing to talk about Xiaoyao.
Then it became like this, and the store manager's eyes were red with jealousy.
"Really, how old you are."
Sister Sayuri also brought some food to the store manager, and her face suddenly became happy, which made Sister Sayuri also become shy. Xiaoyao had already started eating, and judging from her unfazed expression, she was probably used to it.
She eats all she can of dog food every day, but I don’t know if she understands the concept of dog food now.
Sister Sayuri's cooking skills are very good, except for a certain dish that can make the store manager doubt his life. That is a test given by Sister Sayuri to the store manager.
You should just get married. The two of you were criticized by a mutual friend, and then you got married.
The world is really wonderful.
The store manager on the other side radiated an unpleasant breath of happiness. Xia Zhi and Xiaoyao ignored them and continued to eat. In fact, strictly speaking, comparing the cooking skills of Sister Sayuri and the store manager, they should
The store manager's is better, but for some reasons that everyone knows, as long as Sayuri-san is at home and not busy, the store manager doesn't want to cook and stays in the store until it's almost time to eat.
go back.
It’s not that he’s lazy, he just wants to eat the food cooked by Sayuri-san. When she’s not busy, Sayuri-san doesn’t mind making a meal or something, but sometimes when she’s busy, she gives the store manager a call.
He often disappears before five o'clock in the afternoon.
Although he was very family-oriented, Xia Zhi, who was such a hands-off shopkeeper, was still wondering how the store would be able to sustain itself if he didn't apply for a job as a waiter. The opening hours were only four hours from 4 pm to 8 pm every day, and he
Sometimes I leave at five o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no plan to recruit people at that time...
He is a very nice person, but his brain is a little bit weak.
It was such a simple meal, and there was no such thing as filial piety. The store manager and Sister Sayuri probably knew Xia Zhi's character. They didn't need to ask. If there were any questions, he would come over and trouble people.
, although it was already a last resort at that time.
After eating, Xia Zhi wanted to help clean up, but was rushed to the living room by Sister Sayuri. Xiaoyao started to do her homework again. The store manager was sitting on the sofa, holding a mobile phone in his hand, probably wanting to start having fun.
After getting up, Xia Zhi walked over.
"Come and sit." The store manager moved to the side, and Xia Zhi did it.
"Oh, by the way. All the customers in the store tomorrow who have free time will come over and have a look. Of course, we will also go over, right, Xiaoyao?"
"Um!"
"Don't disturb Xiaoyao from doing her homework." Xia Zhi glanced at him dissatisfied, and the store manager was stunned.
"It always feels like our two positions are slightly opposite?"
"Are you going tomorrow? To be honest, I don't think there will be many people. After all, it's a working day."
"No, that's wrong to think so." The store manager stretched out his index finger and waved: "Don't underestimate your school's school festival. Although it doesn't seem to be ranked very high, in terms of how famous the school festival is,
That can be compared with many universities. For example, the one that scared people to the hospital two years ago..."
"I know about the haunted house that scares people to the point of hospitalization. I've said it many times."
Although he said that, Xia Zhi didn't know what the actual situation was.
"Don't worry. Although your skills are not very good and cannot reach the level of a first-class barista, you are more than enough to handle these small scenes."
"This is not a cartoon. Is there really such a thing as a first-class barista?"
"Don't interrupt!" The store manager glared at him dissatisfied: "I said yes, you have dreams, you know?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Anyway, we will go and see it when the time comes. Do you understand that you want to give us the best thing?"
"...the best thing is that everything is exactly the same, okay?"
"Even if it's a lie at this time, you still have to say it." Xiaoyao turned around and said.
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then glared at the store manager: "What have you taught Xiaoyao!"
???
"I never taught Xiaoyao such words! Don't slander me casually."
Xia Zhi obviously didn't believe what the store manager said. Xiaoyao smiled and continued writing her homework.
"Speaking of which, have you cooked for Caijiang? She should be going to your house to have dinner tonight, right? You didn't ask her to come too."
"Stop talking nonsense, do you think she will come?" Tachibana Aya is not such an impolite person.
"I think if you call her, she might come." The store manager touched his chin.
"I've already cooked food for her, please give up."
Xia Zhicha changed the topic.
"That's it. It's up to you. It's not my turn to take care of this matter anyway." The store manager waved his hand.
Xia Zhi snorted arrogantly and was about to answer the call when the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out in front of the store manager and looked at who was calling. The moment he saw the name
Xia Zhi's finger subconsciously pressed the hangup button, but to his surprise, the store manager saw it.
"Caijiang called you, please answer it."
He was secretly laughing shamefully next to him. Xia Zhi wanted to take a funny photo on his face, and thought it would be suitable.
The call he originally wanted to hang up failed, so Xia Zhi answered the call and put it to his ear. The store manager next to him wanted to come over and eavesdrop, but Xia Zhi pushed him back with his hand. He changed his hand to hold the phone in the store.
The other side of the phone answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Xia Zhi?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Xia Zhi felt that his actions were a bit redundant. The living room was very quiet now, and the store manager could probably hear the voice coming from the phone.
"What nonsense is this? What if you accidentally lose your phone and someone else picks it up and defrauds me?"
"You have too many preconditions. And even if my phone is picked up, is it useless for you to ask? Who of the fraudsters would admit that he is a fraudster?"
"No." Tachibana Aya answered decisively: "As long as it is your voice, I can hear it in an instant."
…
The ambiguous glances from the side made Xia Zhiru sit on pins and needles.
"Do you have anything else? If not, I'll hang up first."
"Hey, no! We haven't talked about important things yet. Have you finished your meal?"
"It's done."
"Where are you now?"
"Still at the store manager's house."
"When will you come back?"
"I don't know, let's wait a little later...wait a minute, what did you just say?"
"What did I say? When will you come back?"
"...Where are you now?"
"I'm still at home."
Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the lunatic had gone to his apartment again.
"I'm going out soon. I'll take Xiaoxi for a walk around the area first, and I'll call you when I get to your house! Goodbye."
"Fuck! Stop!"
Tachibana Aya hung up the phone without giving Xia Zhi any chance.
...Xia Zhi took a breath.
"I still have things to do, so I'll go back first."
"Go slowly without seeing me off. Hehehe..."
Xia Zhi wanted to punch him in the face, but now was not the time to do such a thing.
"Brother Xia Zhi is leaving?" Xiaoyao turned around and looked at Xia Zhi.
"Well." Xia Zhi rubbed Xiaoyao's head: "Because there is a big evil person who doesn't listen to others and is going to where my brother lives. My brother has to teach her a lesson, so I have to go back today. If you want to blame
If so, just blame that evil man."
"Is this the big sister named Tachibana?"
"Yes, that's her! Next time you see her, just call her bad guy, got it?"
"Well, but..."
"Believe me, brother will not lie to you."
"Hey, what are you teaching my daughter?"
"And this middle-aged uncle is also a big bad guy. Xiaoyao might as well become my child."
"Hey, hey, hey! It's getting more and more excessive! Xiaoyao, don't listen to Xia Zhi, do you understand?"
"Yeah!" This sentence was said to Xia Zhi.
"Damn it! You bastard!" the store manager cried.
Natsuki sneered twice, then walked to the kitchen and said goodbye to Sister Sayuri before leaving. I don't know how long Aya Tachibana is going to take Xiaoxi for a walk. It will still take ten minutes for Natsuki to walk back.
It's about minutes, so it's better to speed it up a little.
Before Xia Zhi walked back to the apartment, he saw Tachibana Aya who was taking a walk, and Xiao Xi who was not tied up with any rope at her feet. Xiao Xi noticed Xia Zhi first, and after a meow, she quickly
Tachibana Aya ran over. Tachibana Aya, who was playing with her mobile phone while walking, realized that Xiaoxi had run away, and then raised her head in surprise. Then she also saw Xia Zhi and walked over quickly.
Buddha.
Xiao Xi meowed a few times at her feet. Xia Zhi bent down and picked her up. Its tail swayed and it soon became quiet.
"Why are you here?" Xia Zhi asked Tachibana Aya.
"Take Xiaoxi for a walk. If you walk over there, you can go to your house in a short detour."
"I seem to have said that I won't open the door for you when you come, right?"
"I told you. But I think you are reluctant to lock me out."
Xia Zhi almost laughed angrily.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's all trivial matters anyway." She put away her phone, trotted up to Xia Zhi's back, and pushed him forward: "I should come out later, it's still so cold outside. Let's go, let's go
Bar."
"You go home and turn on the air conditioner. It won't get colder at night."
"It's so boring to blow the air conditioner."
"When you come out, I asked you to continue writing the novel. Have you finished it?"
"It's finished!"
Who would believe it if she said it? If she sees through it but doesn’t tell it, even if she does tell it, she can still find more excuses.
"Get back before ten o'clock today, do you hear me?"
"It's already ten o'clock, why can't it be later?"
"Do you think this is a bargaining session for buying clothes? If you don't obey, I will send you back now."
"It's wrong to bully girls."
"Then what does it mean for you to bully me?"
"You are not a girl. Although you look like one."
…
As a result, Xia Zhi failed to send Tachibana Aya back to her before ten o'clock, and played Monopoly Rules Enhanced 2.0 version until 11:30 in the evening. Aya Tachibana stepped into the bankrupt mansion and was autistic and was killed by Xia Zhi.
Zhiya returned to his high-end apartment. He returned to the apartment to wash up a little, and finally lay on the bed peacefully before twelve o'clock.
When I got up the next morning, I made something for breakfast. I hesitated whether to make lunch and take it with me. However, when I thought that I would not have to worry about eating and drinking in the past three days, Xia Zhi didn't want to take it.
However, it would be too much to just go there without bringing anything and wait for a meal, so Xia Zhi made up his mind to buy two rice balls from a convenience store when he went out, so as to avoid the embarrassment of having to eat during lunch.
When the time comes, there will be no food to eat and no lunch to eat.
"In a sense, I can be considered a talent."
Xia Zhi put the rice ball into the schoolbag behind him.
Although there are no classes for the next three days, it seems to be more convenient to bring a school bag. Not only to pack a book, but also to study anytime and anywhere, it is perfect for packing lunch.
Wearing school uniform and carrying an empty schoolbag, Xia Zhi blended into the crowd heading towards the same destination.
It was still the same time as when I went to school before. The road to school, which should have been relatively quiet, became less quiet. Students in twos and threes gathered together and discussed things about the school festival. Even if they were occasionally disappointed,
It is not difficult for single students to see the happy expressions on their faces. Such activities are indeed very popular.
This is the first time for me to have a similar experience. No, it shouldn’t be said to be the first time. After all, I had a spring outing experience when I was very young, which was quite exciting. As for other things, such as sports meets and so on... forget it.
Come on, an event held by a school where the number of people who voluntarily signed up can even directly enter the finals makes people feel uninterested.
Junior high schools and high schools without recreational activities are so mysterious.
It's just that I'm lucky. Compared with most people I know, I have more interesting experiences.
