Without Qin Zhao by his side, Cao Xi slept a little uneasily. He went to the shop without eating breakfast. Because it was too early, he could only go around to the back door of the shop and knock twice. The person who opened the door was a buffalo.
"Sister Xi, you came so early today." The buffalo held a green onion in his hand and was about to make breakfast.
Cao Xi: "It's okay, I just wanted to come over early to help. You haven't eaten yet?"
Buffalo: "Just about to do it"
"I'll do it, you go do other things."
Cao Xi took the green onion from the buffalo's hand, saw the chopped vegetables on the stove, and started frying them.
When Li Feng woke up in the morning, he saw Cao Xi holding the bowls and chopsticks. He was in a daze for a while, and it took him a moment to realize what he was doing.
"coming"
"Well, go and wash up quickly, the food is ready."
Cao Xi was busy with the work at hand, still urging him to hurry up.
The buffalo looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table and said with a smile, "It's different when there is a woman at home. The breakfast is so rich."
"The ingredients are all ready-made, I just fry them. It doesn't take much effort."
Cao Xi served each of them a bowl of rice before sitting down to eat.
The buffalo held the soup bowl and took a sip. The warm soup warmed his mouth and stomach. "Qin Zhao must have finished the exam soon."
Cao Xi smiled and said, "Well, tomorrow is the last day."
Buffalo: "That kid has been smart since he was a child. I remember the first time we met, he was very fierce in a fight. He picked up a rock and hit me on the head. It took a lot of effort for me to push him down."
Cao Xi laughed loudly thinking of the past.
"The first time we met was really unpleasant. We started fighting within a few words."
"Isn't that right? You're already riding on Brother Li, and you can't pull him off no matter how hard you pull."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard. Teng Buffalo grinned and looked at Li Feng.
"Brother Li, why did you kick me?" The buffalo felt wronged.
"We talk so much while eating."
Obviously Li Feng also remembered the original scene. He picked up the soup bowl to cover up his embarrassment, and his ears gradually turned red.
"Hahaha"
Cao Xi is still laughing at the buffalo heartlessly. He doesn't open and lift any pot. Isn't this just looking for kicking?
.................................................................
Qin Zhao left the examination room on the afternoon of the third day. Cao Xi had been waiting outside the examination room early. As the bell rang, the examination ended completely.
The courtyard door was slowly opened, and the candidates dragged their tired bodies out one by one, and some were even carried out by officers and soldiers. Seeing this scene, Cao Xi felt anxious.
She kept looking into the courtyard, and when she saw Qin Zhao taking his belongings and walking out two steps at a time, Cao Xi was relieved.
"Qin Zhao, I'm here" Cao Xi started shouting from a distance.
When Qin Zhao saw that Cao Xi was separated by the crowd, he squeezed out as hard as he could. He quickly walked up to her, took her hand and squeezed out of the crowd.
"Thin"
Cao Xi exaggeratedly held Qin Zhao's face and looked around, and pinched his cheeks a few times with his hands.
"Liar, I've lost weight after just two days without seeing each other."
Qin Zhao was a little tired, and his eyes never left Cao Xi, letting her pinch his face.
"Walk home and I'll prepare something delicious for you."
Cao Xi took Qin Zhao's hand and walked home. There were many people on the street, but Qin Zhao didn't care.
Until he got home, Cao Xi didn't ask about Qin Zhao's test results. He only asked about trivial matters, such as whether he ate well and how he slept. When he asked about physical problems, Qin Zhao glared at him before he stopped.
"You go back to the bedroom to rest first, and I'll get you a bath."
When Cao Xi picked him up, he had already boiled the hot water and could just use it when he came back.
During the two days of the exam, anyone would go crazy if they stayed in a place less than two square meters.
Qin Zhao packed up the things for the exam and sent the leftover food to the kitchen.
Cao Xi: "Didn't I let you rest? Why are you here?"
“There’s some food left”
Cao Xi took it and put it on the stove. "You take the bathtub into the house and the water will be sent there right away."
.....................
As soon as Qin Zhao moved the bathtub into the room, Cao Xi came in with a large bucket of water. Qin Zhao reached out and took it, "I'll do it."
Since Qin Zhao grew up, he has taken over all the heavy work at home. He has to go back and forth several times to fill the bathtub.
"Cao Xi, I'm taking a shower."
Qin Zhao shouted at the door to lock it, and pulled it twice with his hands before he could safely enter the tub.
Thinking of the experience of taking a bath for the first time, Qin Zhao had a smile on his face. He couldn't bear to look back at it at first, but now he thought about it, but it was a little funny and he blushed a little.
Qin Zhao was taking a shower in the house, while Cao Xi was in the kitchen making braised pork and cold dishes, which Qin Zhao liked to eat. She sliced the braised meat last night and put it on the plate, and heated up the steamed buns.
After Qin Zhao finished cleaning up, the food was finished.
Cao Xi set out the bowls and chopsticks and said to Qin Zhao, "Come over and eat after pouring the water."
Qin Zhao: "Well, I'll come over after I put the bathtub away."
Three dishes and one soup were placed on the dinner table.
"Why do you cook so many dishes?" Qin Zhao picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
"I'll give you better food"
Qin Zhao was not at home these two days, so Cao Xi ate all his meals in the shop. He came home empty and didn't want to cook at all. But now that Qin Zhao is back, home feels like home again.
Qin Zhao felt sweet in his heart, "Exaggeration, I haven't been home for only two nights."
Cao Xi filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Qin Zhao, joking: "One day without seeing you is like three autumns apart."
When Qin Zhao heard what she said, he raised his head and glared at her, with a blush behind his ears.
Qin Zhao came back and life returned to normal. In the days when the results were not released, Qin Zhao was writing storybooks at home, and Cao Xi went to the shop to help as usual.
After a few days of rest, Qi Qige was too idle. He decided to go to Qin Zhao's house, but the problem was that he didn't know where Qin Zhao lived, so he could only go to the Malatang shop to find Cao Xi.
As soon as he entered the shop, he saw Cao Xi moving a chair and hurriedly went up to help him.
With a light touch of his hand, Cao Xi noticed Qi Qige.
Qi Qige was the first to speak, "Cao Xi, Qin Zhao, are you like this?"
Cao Xi smiled and asked, "Where is he at home? Do you want to see him if you have something to do?"
"I'm bored and want to play with him." Qiqige smiled sheepishly.
Cao Xi: "Then you go find him at home."
Qi Qige: “But I don’t know where you live.”
Although they have a good relationship, they have not been to each other's homes in these years, and they know little about each other's family situations.
Cao Xi led Qi Qige to the door of the shop.
"Follow the street in front of the door, go left and turn right at the first intersection. Go straight until you see a jujube tree in the yard."
Qi Qig: "Thank you, I'll go there now"
Xiaorui: "Sister Xi, it's so boring for Brother Zhao to be at home by himself. Ask him to come to the shop to help out tomorrow."
Cao Xi: "He has his own things to do."
Xiaorui wanted to see Qin Zhao, but every time he came to the store, Buffalo would find trouble with her.
As a result, she never had a complete sentence with Qin Zhao.
Qi Qige followed Cao Xi's guidance and walked for a while before she saw the courtyard with the jujube trees. The courtyard door was closed and she didn't know if he was at home.
"Dong dong dong"
There were several knocks on the door. Qin Zhao, who was doing laundry, was a little confused as to who could come now and got up to open the door.
"Ah, Qin Zhao, I finally found you."
When Qi Qige saw Qin Zhao opening the door, she was so happy that she wanted to rush towards him, but Qin Zhao ruthlessly dodged him.
Qin Zhao turned sideways and asked Qi Qige to come in, "Why are you here?"
"The academy is closed and I have nowhere to go. I just happened to come see you."
Qi Qige walked forward with a smile, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
"Do you do your own laundry?"
There is a basin of clothes beside the well, and Qin Zhao's sleeves are tied to his elbows, and his fair arms are exposed. It seems that he is washing clothes.
Although Qi Qige's father treats him as air, her stepmother will not treat him as air. In order to create an image of a loving mother, Qi Qige has the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is no limit on spending money. According to Qin Zhao, this is Praise and kill.
