Chapter 19

On the stove next to it, there are all kinds of beautiful and delicious breakfasts, including milk bread, soy milk and fried dough sticks, as well as various porridges and side dishes.

Yu Huai swallowed and whispered, “Mr. Chi, do you want to eat so much in the morning?”

Aunt He wiped the stove with a rag and said, “How can you eat so much? Mr. Chi is always particular about his meals, so I prepared a little bit of everything.”

“What if we can’t finish it?”

“If I can’t finish it, I eat it. If I can’t finish it, I give it to Lao Li and Lao Wang who are building the garden in front and cleaning the garage in the back. Lao Li and Lao Wang both have large families at home, so they won’t waste it.”

Yu Huai brought the food up one by one, and it took him more than ten trips back and forth to finish serving everything. Chi Xu was eating there, and Yu Huai couldn’t leave either, so he stood aside like a maid in ancient times.

This is what Aunt He told her when they were having dinner last night. Mr. Chi needs to be served at the side during meals. When Mr. Chi is at home, he cannot go to the second floor casually, let alone the third floor.

The third floor is Mr. Chi’s private space. You can only go up there to clean it if Mr. Chi says you want to. You can also go up to the second floor to clean it only after Mr. Chi leaves home.

Also, when Mr. Chi is at home, you have to speak softly because he is afraid of noise. After Aunt He finishes her talk, Yu Huai’s job is basically to clean the house. Uncle Wang and Uncle Li are usually there in the courtyard. He then washes Chi Xu’s clothes by hand, helps Aunt He cook, and then goes out to buy groceries. There is nothing else to do.

Chi Xu ate slowly. Yu Huai secretly leaned his back against the wall, looking down, watching him pick up a steamed dumpling with his chopsticks and drink a bowl of seafood porridge.

However, Chi Xu was really elegant when eating, with her back straight and her mouth slightly closed when chewing, making no sound. There was also no sound from the bowl and chopsticks. Unlike her, eating was like a battle. Yu Huai had very little time to break up the day, and he gobbled his food in a hurry. He had been eating like this since high school, counting the seconds, and he still couldn’t change it now.

After eating, Chi Xu wiped the corners of his mouth with the tissue beside him, “Yu Huai.”

Yu Huai hurried forward upon hearing this: “Boss Chi.”

Chi Xu looked up at her. Perhaps because she had slept well, her small face, which was the size of a palm, looked a little rosy. Her hair was meticulously tied behind her head, without a single strand left, revealing the bones of her head completely. Only then did he realize that her lips were thick and slightly pouting, like a ripe fruit.

“Did Aunt He explain everything to you last night?”

Yu Huai nodded, “Yes, Mr. Chi, I understand. You can’t enter the second and third floors casually.”

Chi Xu responded softly, then lowered his eyes and saw that the hem of her clothes had been torn several times. “Go out and buy two sets of clothes. Ask Aunt He for how much money you need. Aunt He has the living expenses I gave her.”

Yu Huai smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Chi.”

She also knew that her clothes were worn out. Firstly, she didn’t have much money and was reluctant to part with them. Secondly, she secretly hoped that Mr. Chi would see it and reimburse her.

Chi Xu added, “Buy two decent ones. Don’t be so rustic as you. People who come here will think that your nanny is a country bumpkin who has never seen the world and is not presentable.”

The fist hardened again.

Yu Huai had a stern face. What was wrong with her being a villager? A nanny had to follow so many rules.

Chi Xu squinted at her, then smiled at the fiery look in her eyes. He stood up and looked down at her: “Why, are you still unhappy after hearing this?”

He pointed at her up and down with his hand, “Look at your body and see if there’s anything worth stopping and looking at. I’m just saying this to help you understand your position.”

Fortunately, Yu Huai was thick-skinned and not the original owner. She wore a polite and appropriate smile on her face: “Yes, Mr. Chi is right. I will definitely clean myself up and not embarrass Mr. Chi.”

Chi Xu snorted lightly, turned around and walked upstairs, then turned back halfway and said, “By the way, if I see you get up so late next time, don’t eat breakfast.”

………

Depend on!!

This man is so annoying.

Yu Huai took a deep breath and put his annoying words behind his mind. If he was really angry, he would treat him as a human being and take his words as human words.

After Chi Xu went upstairs, Yu Huai and Aunt He cleared the table and the two ate in the kitchen. Yu Huai picked out the food that Chi Xu had not touched, and after the meal he ate the two huge mangoes in his refrigerator.

Chi Xu doesn’t eat much fruit, but there must be some at home, so if there is none, he has to buy some. Aunt He also secretly told Yu Huai that there are all kinds of fruits in the refrigerator, so he can eat them without worry.

After biting into two huge mangoes, Yu Huai felt relaxed all over. Aunt He said that this mango is called Luzon mango. Yu Huai had never heard of it, let alone eaten it, not to mention that this mango costs more than 30 yuan per pound.

Yu Huai wouldn’t buy it at more than 30 yuan per pound in the future, let alone now.

She sucked out all the fruit cores, cleaned the kitchen, and then took fish food to feed the fish in the pond.

This pond is located to the right of the courtyard. Yu Huai walked around the entire courtyard and liked this place the most. Not many people go here. After all, if you walk along the road through the gate, you will reach the door of the small building. You have to go around a circle to get to this place.

She leaned against the pillar and scattered a handful of fish food, and koi of various colors swam over. It was a beautiful sight. Chi Xu’s yard was really beautiful. There were lake stones in the pond and a rockery made of yellow stones, which was extremely ornamental.

After feeding the fish for a while, Yu Huai went back to the house and went out to buy vegetables with a basket. From now on, the job of buying vegetables would be hers. Aunt He was getting older and her legs and feet were not as flexible as before.

Yu Huai was going to the farmers’ market two blocks away. Aunt He told her the dishes she wanted to make for lunch, and Yu Huai just bought them according to her instructions.

This farmers’ market is very large, and it not only sells vegetables but also fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc. Yu Huai sighed that it was a good thing that he was not living in the 1960s or 1970s. Back then, people had to rob to buy vegetables, and how could they survive?

After buying the fish, meat and vegetables, Yu Huai’s hands were full. She walked back with the heavy things, wondering if she should also get a special cart like the one that old men and women often see on the street use to buy vegetables.

“Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling—”

A crisp bicycle bell rang behind him. Yu Huai moved aside and pulled the basket in his hand up.

On the bicycle, Xu Jiangshu looked at the people and passed by carefully on both sides. Every time around noon and evening, this road was always crowded with people.

He finished an early morning class and had no more classes that day, so he planned to come back at noon and return to school in the afternoon.

When passing by, Xu Jiangshu was suddenly stunned. He stopped his bicycle and looked back, and saw Yu Huai walking forward with his hands full.

Xu Jiangshu laughed, “Comrade Yu——”
