Boys always feel poor

Chapter No.17

Fu Man still had classes in the afternoon, and after chatting with them for a while, she paid the bill and prepared to go back to school.Lin Yi was about to go to the market, but seeing that Fu Man seemed to be in a bad mood, he dropped her off at the school gate.

No. [-] High School is the best high school in T City. Although the campus doesn't look big, the enrollment rate is very high.Fu Man instructed Lin Yi a few more words before turning around and entering the school gate.Standing at the school gate, Lin Yi watched her disappear gradually, and watched her peers in blue school uniforms walk into their world in small groups.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, clenched the bag containing the books in his hand, and left without looking back.

Relying on his own memory, Lin Yi found the market that he had visited the day before. At this time, there were not many people in the market. Lin Yi was looking around and thinking about what to buy.Although he did a lot of housework at home, even accompanied Lin Changsheng to collect waste, and picked up trash himself, but he didn't light up the skill point of cooking.

Xia Chunxiang has been cooking for so many years and only ensures that the food is cooked enough to fill her stomach, and Lin Yi has no high requirements for food.But now it is different from before, especially when he thinks about seeing Luo Qi at noon, he wants to cook something delicious.

The food in the market is actually not very cheap. He and Luo Qi came here yesterday to buy some rice and spent tens of dollars. According to the appetite of the two of them, it would be wiped out in a few days. He has Kong should look for a store that specializes in wholesale grain and oil, maybe it will be cheaper.

Lin Yi went back and forth between the stalls, comparing the prices back and forth for several rounds, and finally bought a small piece of meat at the lowest price in the entire market, and bought a few more potatoes, planning to go back to try to make potatoes at night Braised pork.Only then did he carry the bag and staggered back.

Before leaving the market, Lin Yi's eyes were attracted by a fruit stand nearby.He hadn't eaten fruit for a long time. People like Lin Changsheng would rather spend all his money on wine than buy some fruit for their mother and son.Lin Yi still remembered that when he went back to his hometown when he was a child, a relative who came to see his grandma brought a box of oranges. Fu Man grabbed some oranges and put them in front of him, but he just stared at the oranges. I was stunned.

It was the first time he ate oranges. He looked at the orange-yellow fruits in front of him and knew they were fruits, but he didn't know how to eat them. In the end, Fu Man sat beside him and gave him oranges one after another. eat.

With a sweet and sour taste, it was probably the best orange he had ever eaten in his life.

Lin Yi stood in front of the fruit stand for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally bought a catty of oranges and two apples, carried them together, turned around and went home.

The things in his hands were heavy, and so was Lin Yi’s mood. After the joy of buying things dissipated, he calculated that he spent more than 20 yuan on this trip. If it was like this every day, it would be a big deal after a month. A payment has been made.He frowned and thought about it, he should be able to discuss with the boss after work tomorrow, and pack some leftovers from the store at night, so that he and Luo Qi can have dinner.

In fact, Lin Yi also knew in his heart that if he and Luo Qi had a stable job, their monthly income should be enough to ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing, and they could also save a small sum.But maybe it's because he's getting used to being poor, or because he's uncertain about the future, which makes him subconsciously want to save a little more money, and wants to turn those incomes into the clear and definite numbers on the passport, so that he can feel at ease. Some.

So even if I knew that some money had to be spent, I still couldn't help but feel a little pain after paying.

However, it is possible that Lin Yi was influenced by Luo Qi, and his mentality was much better than before. He only felt a little pain after paying, and then he turned his head and left the matter in his mind. He returned home humming a song, After washing my hands, I started to study dinner.

After washing the potatoes, peeling them, and cutting them into pieces with the meat on the side, spread them out on the chopping board. Lin Yi stopped. He stared at the two ingredients for a while, gritted his teeth, and took the phone over. , turned on the mobile network, and searched: how to make potatoes with braised pork?

A row of search results immediately popped up. Lin Yi randomly selected one and clicked on it, read it from top to bottom, frowned and thought for a while, with a smile on his lips. Cooking didn't seem to be difficult at all. ah.

Lin Yi turned on the TV, and the small room suddenly became lively.He actually didn't have any plans to watch TV at this time, but as long as the sound of the TV was ringing in his ears and the smell of fireworks in the kitchen, he felt as if his life had become fulfilled.

Lin Yi followed the recipe step by step to prepare. It didn't take long before he smelled the aroma of braised pork. He picked up a small spoon and tasted the soup. The corners of his mouth turned up. In fact, he still has a talent for cooking.

Lin Yi turned his head and glanced out the window, and the sky had already darkened unknowingly, but it was still early before Luo Qi got off work, and he didn't estimate the time when he cooked for the first time, probably when Luo Qi arrived home, the food should be ready It's cold.

Lin Yi turned off the fire, set the rice cooker to keep warm mode, went back to the bedroom and hugged the pillow to watch TV.

When Luo Qi arrived home, it was already close to nine o'clock in the evening. This was his first day at work, and he was not familiar with the way, nor the order-grabbing software. At the mouth, the last feeling is only physical and mental exhaustion.

But when he pushed open the courtyard door, parked the electric car, and looked at the little light in the bedroom, he still unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.

He was no longer alone, after all.

He pushed open the door, and as soon as he uttered the phrase "I'm back", he saw Lin Yi hugging the pillow and falling asleep in a prone position. In the advertisement, the host was exaggeratingly praising the products in front of him, the voice was extraordinarily noisy, but it made Luo Qi feel extra at ease.

He reached out for the remote control that Lin Yi was pressing down on him, trying to turn down the volume of the TV, but just as he stretched out his hand, the person who had just fallen asleep suddenly sat up, staring straight at Luo Qi, almost Seconds later, he blinked, yawned and said, "Are you back? I'm going to heat up the dishes."

"Hot food?" Luo Qi asked suspiciously, Lin Yi waved his hand, turned on the light in the room, pushed Luo Qi to wash his hands, wash his face and change clothes, and went into the kitchen to heat up the food.

The smell of delicious food made Luo Qi, who was already hungry, find some strength. He had just washed his face, and his face was still wet with water, so he looked into the pot and asked, "Is this what you made?" of?"

Lin Yi pouted: "Why, don't you believe me?"

Luo Qi shook his head: "No, believe me, our Lin Yi can be a chef at first glance."

Lin Yi took a spatula and stir-fried in the pot, and flicked Luo Qi's head with his free hand: "Go and wipe off the water, and then wait for dinner."

Luo Qi looked at Lin Yi's happy look, and couldn't help but also laughed: "Okay."

Two bowls full of rice, and a dish of braised pork with potatoes, although the proportion of potatoes far exceeds that of braised pork, but probably because this is the first time the two of them have had a formal fire, But it is very satisfying to cook or eat.

Lin Yi put a piece of rich braised pork into Luo Qi's bowl, and said casually: "I also found a job today, working as a waiter in a snack bar opposite Sister Manman's high school, but I earned a little less. It’s only 2200 yuan a month.”

Luo Qi swallowed the food stuffed in his mouth, took a sip of water, and then replied: "Anyway, there is enough for the two of us to live now, let's just look for something to do."

"Yeah." Lin Yi didn't worry about the lack of income for a long time. After thinking about it, he asked, "How is your work today, are you tired?"

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Actually, I'm not as tired as I imagined. Think about it, I use an electric car to go out. There are elevators in those high-end residential areas and office buildings. In fact, I don't have to walk much. It's the first one. Tian is a little unfamiliar with the road conditions, but it will gradually get better."

Lin Yi recalled the scene he saw at noon, and lowered his eyes. He knew that it was just the tip of the iceberg of Luo Qi's day's work, especially when they met at dinner time, but it was Luo Qi's busiest time. Lin Yi didn't even know it. At what time did the man in front of him have time to eat lunch?Luo Qi looked very relaxed, probably just didn't want him to worry.He bit the corner of his lips, then raised his head and smiled at Luo Qi, put another piece of meat into his bowl, pretended not to know anything, and said: "Then eat more, after all, It's the first day."

Luo Qi nodded with a smile, and put another piece of meat into Lin Yi's bowl: "Then you should eat more, after all, you will be going to work tomorrow."

"it is good."

It was already 09:30 after a meal, Luo Qi got up to clean up the dishes, but Lin Yi stuffed a remote control into his hand and pressed it on the bed.Then Lin Yi took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash.

Luo Qi sat on the bed, looked at the TV boredly, and couldn't help but lift his ears to listen to the sound of the kitchen. Lin Yi seemed to be in a good mood, humming a strange tune while washing the dishes. After a while, the sound of water After stopping, Lin Yi came in with a wave of his hands, took out two oranges from the plastic bag next to the bed and threw them into Luo Qi's arms, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's have some after-dinner fruit too."

The author has something to say: ah, the holiday is finally coming, and you all feel very happy.
