Chapter 125: Each Takes What He Needs

It was almost meal time, Cheng Ming went to touch the fish in name only, no, to prepare lunch.

The moment he took charge of the spoon, Cheng Ming felt that the kitchen was still suitable for him.

In the afternoon, the village chief saw that Cheng Ming and Zhao Lei hadn’t finished, so he helped out, and earlier than expected, he wrapped up after four o’clock.

There was still coal left over and it wasn’t all made into beehive coal at once.

For one thing, given the limited area for drying, you can’t take up all of a road or encroach on someone’s yard entrance.

Secondly, for fear of rain in the next few days, you have to cover the honeycomb coals with tarpaper and plastic sheeting at night, lest the coals be beaten into a puddle by the rain before they get the best sunlight, and also to protect them from the morning and night dews.

However, the size of greaseproof paper and plastic sheeting is limited, so if you make more than one, you won’t be able to cover them all.

Cheng Ming’s arms are sore, his legs and feet are weak, and he is expected to wake up tomorrow with a sore back and grief, but tomorrow is also the day of returning to school.

Again, didn’t stay for dinner today.

“Brother, let’s go bathe in our new home.” Cheng Li, who was sitting in his arms, tilted his head and proposed.

“There’s no need to make a special trip to the new house, we’re covered in soot and feel like we’ll clog the drain in the new house.”

“But there’s hot water in the new house, there’s a bathtub, hot water and a bathtub!” Cheng Li re-emphasized, “It’s only when we clogged the drain in the house that we made mom angry, right?”

“Seems so.”

Cheng Ming is a bit moved, even if not a bath, a hot bath is also conducive to reducing muscle fatigue and help lactic acid excretion, if you can massage massage is even better.

“Then we still have to go buy a buy a couple towels and washcloths.”

Cheng Ming didn’t want to wipe his sister’s body with his top again.

Especially today’s top is dirty not to mention the fabric is poor and stringy, not as soft and comfortable as yesterday’s.

The new home side belongs to the new modern district, in addition to residential areas, there are also cultural plazas and large supermarkets as a supporting, which is a common order real estate model, real estate developers and brand-name merchants to sign a joint expansion agreement.

Wherever there is a blah blah blah plaza, there is a store for them.

Of course, Dad it’s not even a prototype, and the supermarkets are just there to meet the basic needs of the residents.

There are no theaters or hotels, let alone those flagship brand stores.

“New supermarket, new supermarket.”

Cheng Li held Cheng Ming’s arm, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and curiosity.

Cheng Ming roughly counted the things to buy, there were quite a lot of toiletries alone, and directly pushed up the shopping cart.

There are not many national products on the shelves anymore, even though many of the brand names seem to be national, and the factories are in China, but the parent companies are indeed foreign.

The idea of releasing foreign companies to compete with domestic companies, improving the competitiveness of independent brands, and introducing new management experience is a good one.

But some foreign companies unfair competition, can not beat you to buy down the snow, or business is not on the mind, and finally spend more money and the cost of the brand to buy back a lot of cases.

Of course, there are also positive cases of M&A, Mrs. Le chicken essence was acquired by Nestle, the development momentum is good, the brand can be continued, but such examples are only a few.

On the contrary, it is now the foreign investment fever, and it is one of the pains of the times to take pride in attracting investment.

All Cheng Ming can do nowadays is to buy national products to support them, and he doesn’t mind messing with them in the future if he is able to do so.

As soon as Cheng Ming turned around, he realized that there were a lot more snacks in the shopping cart, such as lollipops, potato chips, coke and instant noodles.

“Leigh, we’re not here to buy food, are we?”

“Brother, this you don’t understand.” Cheng Li waved his finger and said, “Some of these are reserve food, what if you suddenly get hungry in your new home?”

“Simply just what you want to eat, I guess, but Dad gave me a pretty good budget to splurge a little.”

“Then I’ll go pick out some more of my brother’s favorite foods.”

Cheng Li again jumped and ran to the food area, Cheng Ming is still in the daily necessities area to select, inadvertently saw the supermarket selling children’s fat, thinking that his sister should not be able to see, too plain.

A shopping cart was stuffed to the gills.

Before sending it to the counter to check out, Cheng Ming Xiang checked to see if his sister had bought anything rare.

“Surprisingly there are no very expensive snacks.” Cheng Ming said in wonder, he thought that his sister would buy that kind of unattractive, useless and even more intolerable food finish.

It’s basically inexpensive, large-volume, filling snacks, like family-size Pan Pan chips.

Cheng Li scratched her little nose, crossed her arms and said proudly, “That’s for sure, who do you think I am! I’m the one who said I’m hardworking and thrifty, brother can praise me as much as he wants, no need to be stingy.”

Having bought so much, Cheng Ming didn’t know whether his sister was a homeowner or a loser.

The newly opened supermarket also has a free membership card for purchases of any amount as well as a dice-throwing raffle.

The grand prize is a TV, the first prize is a refrigerator, the second prize is a washing machine, the third prize is then instantly downgraded to an electric kettle, and the souvenir prizes are the delightful paper towels and toothbrushes, and you can scratch off vouchers in varying amounts up to $88.

Cheng Ming took the small shopping ticket and exchanged it for three Scratchers.

“TV TV TV TV.” Cheng Li couldn’t wait to scratch the first one.

Behind the silver coating are the words ‘Thank you for your patronage’.

“So the guarantee isn’t for souvenirs? That’s too stingy.”

“I feel the same way, give me a scratch.” Cheng Ming said with itchy hands.

“Brother’s luck is so bad, he definitely can’t draw anything good, it’s better to look at me.”

Cheng Li disbelievingly scratched another, souvenir prize, a pack of paper towels, better than nothing.

On the last one, Cheng Li closed her eyes and scraped the card, not daring to look at it, and nervously asked, “Brother, did I win?”

“Bingo, a five dollar voucher.”

It cannot be discounted and is a one-time use.

“Why is it only five dollars, shouldn’t it be eighty-eight?” Cheng Li pouted and said.

Cheng Ming laughed and knocked his sister’s little head and said, “Be content, are you a wolf that can’t be fed? Put it away, don’t drop it.”

Cheng Ming walked out of the supermarket carrying two large shopping bags, his shoulders slumped and his already sore arms were about to be scrapped.

Luckily there was an elevator and room 808 was around the corner from the elevator.

I turned off the electric switch yesterday before I left, for safety reasons, but it also set the stage for not being able to use the hot water right away today.

It takes a while for the water heater to heat up when you turn on the electric switch.

A little dirty and not daring to sit directly on the new sofa, Cheng Ming sat cross-legged on the floor, and Cheng Li rightfully sat in his arms, holding the TV remote control in one hand and eating potato chips with the other.

“The number of TV stations hasn’t increased.”

“It’s the same kind of signal you receive at home, I think, but the screen is quite a bit bigger.”

While still chubby, big-ass color TVs, LCD TVs are just entering the country and are still a luxury item.

The domestic color TV market is also due to the size of the surplus, began to fight the price war, resulting in large-scale losses, the DVD player is more or less the same, the major TV manufacturers have to seek technological upgrades, domestic plasma color TVs and LCD TVs will slowly appear in the consumer’s field of vision.

But for the people, naturally, the more such price wars the better.

“Brother, would it be comfortable to play games with this TV?”

“I don’t know if it’s comfortable or not, but it’s definitely going to get beat up, and actually the TV screen isn’t as big as it could be, it’s all pixelated dots, so if you use it to play ps2 it should be a blast.”

“ps2? what’s that?” Cheng Li asked, cocking his head.

“The most advanced game console available, the treasure of every boy’s dreams.”

There are two bathrooms in the large third bedroom, just one for each person.

The large bathroom with the bathtub was naturally for his sister, so Cheng Ming used the smaller one.

Although he had been appealing to his sister and Rei to take a hot bath, Cheng Ming was rather casual with himself, or too lazy to boil water.

Since his rebirth, Cheng Ming had always taken cold showers, unless there was hot water left over, then he would mix it with cold water to take a warm shower.

Cheng Ming, who coveted the hot water, showered beautifully, took a few minutes longer than a normal bath, put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Cheng Li, who was only wearing a large scarf, revealing her rounded and delicate shoulders and delicate collarbone, was holding a hairdryer in her hand and blowing her long hair “whirring”.

Cheng Ming was really afraid that the bath towel on her body would slip to the ground, after all, there was absolutely no place for the towel to rest on.

“Aren’t you going to take a bath, brother? I didn’t even soak much so that I could enjoy you.”

There’s no reason not to accept it, and it’s rare for a sister to know how to be considerate of her brother for once.

Cheng Ming first unlocked the bathroom door, lest there be an accident.

The bath water that his sister had soaked in was still hot, so Cheng Ming, in keeping with the need to conserve water resources and the time it took to put on the hot water, stopped putting on the water and directly undressed into the water.

The warm water wrapped around his tired body, his whole body and mind relaxed and immersed in the water, and the shower was not at all the same level, more or less understand his sister’s idea of wanting to stay here for the rest of her life.

Cheng Ming was about to close his eyes and take a good rest.

Knock, knock–

Outside there was a knock at his sister’s door.

“Brother, open the door, I forgot my fat ass.”

“How can you even forget this stuff.”

Cheng Ming stood up, stepped out of the bathtub and lifted the towel on the hanger, and underneath it was indeed covered with a chubby.

Cheng Ming tied a towel around his waist and hesitated slightly as he turned the anti-lock knob.

Did that mean my sister was trying to take a bath with herself? All that chatter about bathtubs and baths before.

“Brother, if you don’t open the door, your sister is going to catch a cold, I’m naked and my little butt is cool, ah-choo ……”

It’s a yang plot. Why are there so many ghost ideas? Should I open the door?

Just open a crack in the door, throw your fat ass out and close the door.

But with such a small amount of effort, if my sister is determined to come in, she will definitely stick her arms and legs in, so will closing the door immediately pinch my sister? If she got hurt, Cheng Ming would feel sorry for her.

Forget it. Big deal. He’s not taking a bath.

Cheng Ming opened the bathroom door, and Cheng Li really drilled in sideways, the target not being any fat guy at all.

Unwrapping the bath towel and lying down into the bathtub, she held on to the edge of the bathtub and beckoned towards Cheng Ming, “Brother, come and take a bath together, it’s very comfortable.”

The temptation of the bathtub made Cheng Ming’s judgment questionable.

Run away, or meet your sister.

Keeping running away was not going to solve the problem, Cheng Ming had to face his sister head on, and this was a test.

If there wasn’t any reaction it meant it was safe, a reaction was a sign of crisis and he would have to grasp a degree with his sister, there was no point in skimming the surface.

But certainly not as sticky as they are now, or at least not in the shower together, in case they wipe the floor.

Cheng Ming tied a towel into the bathtub, overflowing some hot water, with a towel this as a barrier to protect, not a vacuum, Cheng Ming’s psychological pressure on a lot less.

It’s great that my brother didn’t run away, as long as I let my brother gradually familiarize and get used to my body, what happens after that is only possible.

After all, there was no way his brother was going to do the same kind of self-immolating truck behavior that he had done in his previous life, turning on himself in order to get himself to hate him.

That’s stupid, brother, and I can’t wait for you to force yourself on me, it’ll only make my love more overwhelming.

Anyway, the two men with their hearts in the right place and their own needs began to soak.
