After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

Chapter 149 Creating opportunities to be alone together

Cheng Eryu is usually a dull person and doesn't speak much.

So Xia Duo took the initiative to start the topic and said, "You didn't go to sell sachets today. Doesn't it affect the business?"

"It doesn't matter. My sachet is not a necessity. There are people who buy it, but not many. And I just bought it. The sachet will need to be used for a while before I buy it again, so I will take a rest for a day or two. It’s okay.”

"If you are like my elder brother and sister-in-law, you have to go out to the stall frequently, and you only have one day off a week at most. Food is the most important thing for the people. People don't need to smoke incense, but they must eat."

Although Cheng Eryu was talking, the movements of his hands did not stop.

Xia Duo was very surprised. This was the first time Cheng Eryu said so many words to her in one breath.

"Speaking of your sachet, I have to say that it smells really good. You taught me how to embroider before. You won't forget it, will you?" Xia Duo asked.

"No, remember."

"That's okay. Sister Xiao Xi can make clothes. If you teach me embroidery, I can embroider the patterns I like on my clothes in the future." Xia Duo said with a look of longing.

Speaking of clothes, Cheng Eryu suddenly thought of the clothes Xia Duo wore yesterday.

So, he said with emotion: "Actually, the clothes you wore yesterday were very nice and matched you very well."

"Really? Do you really think I look good in that outfit?"

Cheng Eryu didn't dare to look at Xia Duo. He nodded his head sullenly: "With that hairstyle, she really looks like a rich lady from some house."

Xia Duo was amused by him, "You made fun of me too."

Hearing what she said, Cheng Eryu immediately raised his head nervously, looked at Xia Duo, and explained with a serious face: "I'm not making fun of you, I really feel that way!"

Seeing his nervous look, Xia Duo couldn't help but snicker and thought to herself, Cheng Eryu is too cute!

"Okay, okay, thank you very much for saying that. If it looks good, then I will wear that dress more in the future." Xia Duo said with a wink.

Cheng Eryu touched the back of his head and laughed innocently.

"The tables and chairs are all ready, then I'll mop the floor. Brother Eryu, please sit next to me and rest for a while." Cheng Eryu has been working so hard now that it's time to take a rest.

We can't let him work alone.

Cheng Eryu shook his head, "I'll do the mopping, this kind of rough work..."

Xia Duo knew he was going to say this, so she interrupted him in time, "Sister Xiao Xi kindly took me in and gave me this job. I have to take it seriously to repay Sister Xiao Xi.

You are just here to help today. You have already done a good job in what you should do. Go and have a rest. Otherwise, I will be angry!

I can still do this bit of work. When you weren't here, I would do it every day!Practice makes perfect now! "

After listening to her words, Cheng Eryu had no choice but to let go of the hand holding the mop and sit aside obediently.

Xia Duo was born into a poor family, and her parents favored sons over daughters. She had been doing these housework since she was a child.

The palms of teenage hands should be soft and tender, but now they have a thick layer of calluses.

"Actually, I have been doing these jobs since I was a child. Unlike you all, I have some skills. I don't know anything, so I just do these menial jobs. I can only earn a living by doing such menial jobs."

Those who heard these words felt very bitter when they came out of Xia Duo's mouth, but Xia Duo didn't know whether it was because she was numb or because she was used to it. She said it with a smile, without any resentment.

This made Cheng Eryu feel very distressed after hearing these words.

After a while, Xia Duo finally finished her work, washed her hands, locked the door, and then walked side by side towards Cheng's house with Cheng Eryu.

When they came back, Su Xiaoxi and Cheng Shubai had just finished washing and entered the room.

It was very late at this point, and the town had begun to fall asleep.

In the dead of night, the sound of the door "squeaking" seemed clear and loud in this dark night.

Su Xiaoxi heard it very clearly. She immediately ran out of bed, put her ear behind the door, and listened attentively to the sounds outside.

Seeing this, Cheng Shubai couldn't help but smile.

She still hasn't gotten rid of this problem.

Soon, Su Xiaoxi heard footsteps outside her door.

You don't need to think about it to know that it is Cheng Eryu and Xia Duo.

Mrs. Cheng specially sent them away today and let the two people get along alone. She didn't know how the two people got along.

There were only footsteps and no other sounds in the corridor outside.

This made Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a little anxious, muttering to herself: "What's going on with these two people? Why don't they say a word? Could it be that something happened?"

"Is it so fast? Xia Duo is pretty good!"

After Cheng Eryu sent Xia Duo back to his room, he returned to his room.

Su Xiaoxi listened to the footsteps getting further and further away, but the two of them still didn't say a word and sighed in confusion.

Then he returned to the bed and sat down, with unsolvable doubts and knots between his brows: "Ms. sir, do you think these two are a success?"
