Zhou Buyan nodded frequently, "Yes, yes!"

I had no choice but to say frankly: "If I plan to leave the island and go to work, I would definitely be willing to rent it to Buyan, but I want to stay and live by myself."

A few people were shocked. Except for tourism and fishing, there is no economic industry on the island. Except for those with special jobs like Jiang Yisheng, the young people on the island can go outside as long as they can. After all, there are more opportunities and more money. .

Jiang Yisheng asked, "What are you going to do when you stay?"

I said embarrassedly, "I'm going to open an inn."

Jiang Yisheng picked up a bunch of barbecue and said slowly while eating, "Although I think it's a little unreliable, but you have to be really determined to do it, I support it."

"Thank you!" I raised my cup and toasted Jiang Yisheng.

Zhou Buyan was gloomy and had an ugly face.

Zhou Buwen picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Xiaoluo opened the inn, you can come and stay anytime you want! Isn't this better?"

Zhou Buyan reacted, hurriedly picked up the cup, and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for Sister Shen's inn to open."

Several people touched the cups and wished my inn to open soon and make a lot of money.

After eating, drinking, talking and laughing, Zhou Buwen and Jiang Yisheng didn't get up until after ten o'clock in the evening to say goodbye.

Standing at the gate of the yard, Zhou Buwen looked at me and said nothing.

Jiang Yisheng is a person. He immediately heard the song and knew the elegance. He coaxed and dragged Zhou Buyan away first, creating an opportunity for Zhou Buwen to talk to me alone. It's a pity that Wu Julan has been standing behind me, Zhou Buwen has to suppress the full of yù and stop talking, and leave melancholy.

I lived with my stepfather first, and then my stepmother. The days of being under the control of others taught me to watch words and expressions at a young age. It’s not that I didn’t feel that Zhou Buwen wanted to say something, but today his appearance was sudden enough, and I haven’t done it yet. Ready to have a deep talk with him, Suoxing pretended not to feel it.

I closed the courtyard door and went upstairs in a trance.

After sitting on the bed for a while, he suddenly rummaged through the boxes, and found things from his childhood from the storage cabinet under the bed. An old tin cake box, which contains some small bits and pieces, and the first qíng book I received in my life is hidden at the bottom.

I didn't read it carefully, just rubbed it in my hand. After a long time, the letter paper has become a little soft, and the words on the paper look more and more childish, but the time condensed between the lines is a beautiful time when two children who are at a loss are leaning on each other to keep warm.

I watched and couldn't help but smile, the joy of reunion after a long absence really emerged at this moment.

In those years, when I lived a peaceful and warm life by my grandfather's side, I worried about him countless times. Afraid that he will be rejected by his stepfather, that he will not be able to continue his studies, that he will go astray if he accidentally learns badly.

Time separates us, time brings us together again.

I know, his stepfather treats him very well. He not only continued to finish his studies, but also went to a famous foreign university. He now has a warm home, a good career, and a cousin who gets along well.

I smiled and thought, no matter what the process is, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we all grew up well, this is the best thing qíng!

The things that have been on my mind for so many years have finally let go. With a smile, I folded the letter and put it back in the old tin pan.

Chapter4 got into the ants in my heart

Obviously his hand is not warm at all, but at this moment, it makes me feel that it is the warmest place in the world.

Early in the morning, after I woke up, I was surprised to find that under the eaves, on the small square table, there were a bowl of white porridge, a bowl of splendid steamed eggs, and a plate of emerald green seaweed.

I couldn't help swallowing and shouted loudly, "Wu Julan, did you make breakfast?"

"It's not me, could it be you?" Wu Julan's cold voice came from the study, a sentence that should have been

easy

If you are joking, it sounds like you are mocking my IQ. However, based on what I know about him, he should simply think that my question is superfluous.

With a little anticipation, I tasted the white porridge and was immediately amazed.

It seems that everyone can make white porridge, and there may not be many chefs who can cook porridge well. A mouthful of porridge is in my mouth, neither hard nor soft, neither thick nor thin, just right, and the rice is so fragrant that I can't bear to swallow it. I have only had such fragrant porridge in an old-fashioned shop in Guangzhou.

The cold seaweed and steamed eggs also have their own advantages. One is mouth-watering and the other is fragrant. It is especially appetizing to eat with white porridge. Without raising my head, I emptied one plate and two bowls.

In the past, I read that the simpler the dishes written in the novels, the more testing the cooking skills, and I always didn’t believe it. Today’s breakfast was delicious, and I finally believed it and finally understood Wu Julan’s attitude towards my cooking. Disgust of art.

After I washed the dishes, I walked into the study and saw Wu Julan playing on the computer.

I dragged a stool and sat in front of Wu Julan, with my elbows on the computer table, my head tilted, and I didn't speak, just stared at Wu Julan without blinking.

After a long while, Wu Julan's eyes moved from the computer screen to my face, and said with calm to indifferent eyes: What are you getting nervous?

Wu Julan's skin is unusually fair, his facial features are strong, his nose is straight, his eyes are deeper than the average East Asian, and his eyebrows are dark and long. When he looks at each other coldly and without expression, he looks like a creature at the top of the food chain overlooking the bottom of the food chain. The cold and arrogant creatures have to be said to be very deterrent.

It's a pity that I've seen him dressed funny, weak and comatose, and I've seen him diligently and virtuously doing laundry, cleaning, and cooking.

I didn't feel scared, but felt like a bravado kid who always likes to scare people. What a ghost, I actually stretched out my hand and pinched Wu Julan's cheek lovingly.

Delicate skin, cold tentacles.

I bared my teeth and grinned for a moment, then realized what I was doing, and was stunned. Wu Julan was also stunned.

The two stared at each other, unable to believe that my hand was pinching his face!

Wu Julan's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the hand that was still holding his cheek, his eyes were very strange, which made me think that he might bite off my hand in the next instant.

I am very aware of current affairs, and I quickly retracted my hand, hiding it behind my back, and gān with a smile: "Haha, haha..."

Wu Julan raised her eyes and stared at me, and I immediately felt my throat gān, and I couldn't laugh anymore.

I resolutely surrounded Wei to save Zhao, "I've finished the breakfast you made, and it was so delicious. No wonder you despise my cooking skills, and I don't despise my own cooking skills anymore."

Wu Julan was completely unmoved by my flattery, and said plainly, "It's good to have self-knowledge, and I'll cook in the future."

Of course I wouldn't object, I immediately nodded vigorously, but my focus was not on this, but: "Wu Julan, your cooking skills are so good that you can be a chef in a five-star hotel without a problem, how can you... What about a small place?"

Yesterday I thought about it but didn't plan to develop him into a boyfriend, and I wasn't interested in exploring his past, but today I can't help but be curious. No way, whoever called him is a mystery from head to toe, even someone like me, who has read novels and TV series, can't think of his experience.

Wu Julan stared at me, squinting slightly, and seemed to be seriously thinking about how he had fallen to this point.

For some reason, I suddenly shivered and stood upside down with all the hair on my body, as if I suddenly found a poisonous snake staring at me, and I was instinctively frightened. I stiffened, unable to move. Fortunately, Wu Julan quickly looked away and looked at the computer in silence.

I let out a long breath and almost collapsed on the computer desk. When I looked at Wu Julan, there was nothing different. I'm very annoyed, this is the second time I've been scared by his eyes. I couldn't help covering the computer with my hand, and said fiercely, "I'm asking you something! Answer me!"

Wu Julan looked at me and said, "Everyone has bad luck. I've had bad luck recently."

He didn't really explain, but his one sentence seemed to explain a lot. My anger dissipated in an instant, and I felt a little sad. I didn't know how to comfort him. After a while of silence, I said: "If you have no idea where to go for a while, just stay here and help me live! When you want to leave, I will I'll give you enough travel expenses."

Wu Julan stared at me for a moment, without saying anything, stood up and walked away.

I stared at his back and muttered cursing: "I don't even feel human at all! At least I'm helping you! I don't even have a smile!"

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the decoration master I had made an appointment with came. His name was Wang Tianlin. He was the husband of my junior high school classmate.

I led him from the upstairs to the downstairs, and took a careful look at all the houses. Wang Tianlin knew that my money was relatively tight, and he spoke very honestly, "The decoration is a bottomless matter. The same house, someone spends money on it. More than one million decoration, some people spend hundreds of thousands of decoration, my idea is that we can save as much as possible, but some places absolutely cannot. One is for safety and health, and the other is that cheap things will break after one or two years of use. In the future It costs more to repair and repair.”

Makes sense, and I nodded "ummmm".

Wang Tianlin took out a notebook and a pen, and wrote and drew to analyze which areas must be renovated and which areas can be refurbished. The house that was renovated eight years ago, many parts are already aging, I pointed out one by one, when the time comes, it should be repaired and replaced. The two discussed and drew up a decoration plan.

I believe in Wang Tianlin, and I know that he has a procurement channel there. The price of the materials he gets must be cheaper than if I go out to buy them. Soxing entrusted Wang Tianlin to help me purchase all the materials I need. Wang Tianlin did a rough calculation and told me that the materials and labor cost at least 80,000 yuan.

The price is a little higher than I expected, but it is normal for the decoration to have a difference of 10,000 to 20,000, and I agree. Because we need to purchase materials and add a deposit, we agreed to pay 50,000 yuan in advance, and the remaining money will be paid in installments according to the progress of the project and the need to purchase materials.

Wang Tianlin knew that I was in a hurry to start work, and after thinking about it, he decided to start work the day after tomorrow. Because it was not a major decoration, Wang Tianlin promised to work at the fastest speed on the premise of ensuring the quality. It is estimated that more than half a month will be enough.

I asked gratefully, "Is the advance payment transfer or cash?"

"Best in cash."

It's just a little troublesome, I'm willing to cooperate, "Then I'll send it to you tomorrow."

Wang Tianlin said quickly: "I will take a boat across the sea early tomorrow to buy materials, and I will be back at night. We are acquaintances, and there is no one who cheats. When the work starts the day after tomorrow, you can just give it to me."

"it is good!"

Wang Tianlin saw that everything had been negotiated, and after a few chats, he was about to leave. I repeatedly thanked Wang Tianlin and sent him away.

The next day, I went to the bank to withdraw money.

In addition to the 50,000 yuan I paid Wang Tianlin in advance, I took an extra 10,000 yuan to buy TVs, tables and chairs. It is inconvenient to connect to the island. Large items often take ten days to half a month to be delivered. It is better to buy earlier than later. If you buy it too early, it's a big deal to find a place to pile it up first; if you buy it late, it is very likely that the goods haven't arrived after the inn opens.

Although I knew that the people on the island were simple and safe, but there was 60,000 yuan in the bag, I was still very careful.

Walking through the bustling vegetable market, I looked up at Mazu Street, which was winding up along the mountain, thinking that I was about to get home, and my vigilance faded a little.

Due to various reasons, the old streets of the island were demolished and renovated. When the government responded and wanted to protect them, only the most remote Mazu Street and Lantern Street where tourists gathered at the wharf remained. The streets of the old street are narrow, and there are no cars. The streets are lined with old houses of local people. Except for a small shop selling tobacco, alcohol, and snacks, there are no merchants doing business, and it is very quiet.
