Chapter 39 Qinghe
After Wang Erya finished eating 2 bananas, 1 apple, 1 pear and half a watermelon, Jiang Qi led Wang Erya, who was so full of fruit, downstairs to go home.
Huang Fugui looked at the fruit that had just been bought but half of it was missing before it was eaten. He said to Old John with complicated emotions: "Brother John, did I understand it wrong? What the boss just said about Er Ya Ya girl eating whatever she wants is... Shall we eat here?”
Old John said calmly: "The boss has nothing to eat, so of course he has to eat here."
Huang Fugui thought it was reasonable: "Then I have to go out and buy more fruits tomorrow morning. These two girls look quite young, about eleven or twelve years old, and they have a big appetite. Oh, you don't know how pitiful this girl is. One meal a day, and I have to get up at dawn every day to fetch water and chop firewood. I have never eaten white flour steamed buns in my whole life. The only time I ate steamed buns when I was a child were vegetable buns without meat and oil."
"Why do you think her master's family is so deductible? The maid bought it with her own money and didn't even let her have a full meal. I didn't do this when I was the landlord."
Huang Fugui, who had also been through hard times, sighed and told Old John that Old John only cared about one thing.
"Maid, is this the kind of occupation you see in the TV series where you clean every day?"
"Absolutely." Huang Fugui said, "But Erya doesn't know how to clean. I asked, and she is only responsible for chopping firewood, carrying water, boiling water and emptying buckets."
Old John felt relieved and continued to do his own thing without speaking.
Jiang Qi had almost figured out Wang Erya's temper and character when he was chatting with Wang Erya.
To put it simply, he has neither temper nor character.
She may have a bit of personality, but if Jiang Qi showed any signs of not liking Wang Erya, she would immediately throw away that bit of her personality.
Wang Erya is used to obeying orders. When someone says an affirmative or imperative sentence to her, she will not object even if she doesn't agree with it in her heart. At most, she wants to hide the banana peel and eat it secretly like just now.
If you want her to express her opinion, ask directly, preferably in a commanding tone, so that she will come up with something even if she doesn't have any.
Wang Erya's biggest problem now is her illiteracy.
A 16-year-old girl is malnourished and illiterate. It is difficult to create an identity with such prerequisites.
Jiang Qi initially thought that the card character's built-in skill was literacy. Now it seems that Old John's literacy is based on his being a cultural person, and the game directly switches the language system for him.
Wang Erya was originally illiterate, and no matter how many games he switched, he was still illiterate.
After returning home, Jiang Qi asked Wang Erya to stay in the guest room as usual.
The robe Wang Erya was wearing was definitely unwearable. Jiang Qi found the junior high school uniform that Jiang Bing had not thrown away in the closet and tried it on Wang Erya. It was a little too big but she could barely wear it.
Although Wang Erya is 16 years old, she looks like a little girl of 12 or 13 years old at most. She is still very thin, malnourished and sick all year round.
After looking for clothes, Jiang Qi was already sleepy. He hadn't stayed up late for too long, and suddenly his body couldn't handle staying up so late.
Originally, Jiang Qi wanted to introduce Wang Erya to the electrical appliances at home and teach her how to use them, but when he became sleepy, Jiang Qi simplified the teaching to just teach her about the bathroom.
"Take a shower first, then go to bed after taking a shower. I'll turn the air conditioner on for you first. If you can't turn it off, wait until I wake up tomorrow and turn it off again. Be sure to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep. Don't touch things you haven't seen before. If you don't turn it off tomorrow morning, Knock on my door and wake me up as soon as someone comes, remember?" Jiang Qi told him everything he could think of.
Jiang Qi suspected that Wang Erya would have slept on the floor all night if he had not ordered Wang Erya to go to bed.
He noticed it just now when Wang Erya followed Jiang Qi into the guest room. Wang Erya couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the single bed covered with gray sheets. I obviously like it so much, but I don't even dare to touch it, for fear of getting dirty and damaged.
After finishing all this, Jiang Qi, who was so sleepy that he was about to enter a state of sleepwalking, entered the room without looking back. I didn't even have time to close the curtains, so I fell asleep and slept until dawn.
The price of not drawing the curtains is being woken up by the dazzling sunlight when you shouldn't be.
The sun in midsummer is extremely bright. Even though it's only the beginning of July, the sunshine at eight o'clock in the morning is enough to pull Jiang Qi out of his sleep, who hasn't had enough sleep.
Jiang Qi, who reluctantly woke up, looked at his phone and saw that it was only 8:48.
Jiang Qi, who slept so badly last night that he didn't have time to wash up, planned to get up and take a shower to wake himself up. As soon as he rubbed his eyes and pushed open the door blearily, the person was stunned.
Have I traveled through time?
this is my house?
When did my old solid wood floor, which had not been waxed for more than ten years, become so clean?
People can actually be seen on the floor!
Wang Erya was cleaning the tiles in the kitchen. When he heard the noise, he ran out quickly, still holding the rag in his hand and said nervously: "Boss...I...Is the floor I wiped okay?"
Looking at the snail girl in front of him, Jiang Qi nodded with difficulty to express his affirmation of her work results.
Wang Erya breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Erya woke up early in the morning. As an excellent maid, she always wakes up at the same time.
The master's family would not be rich enough to let the maids light lamps. Wang Erya could only work during the day. If she couldn't finish the work, she would have no food, so she always got up early and worked early.
After getting up, Wang Erya found that she had no chance to work after changing to a new job.
To fetch water, there is no well.
Chopping firewood, there is no firewood.
Pull weeds, there is no grass. To be precise, there are no green plants in Jiang Qi's house, not even cacti, which are easy to grow, and there is no chance to water the flowers.
Jiang Qi also told Wang Erya before going to bed not to touch anything he didn't recognize. Except for tables, chairs and benches, almost everything in the house was unknown to Wang Erya.
Wang Erya thought about it, found the rag hanging on the balcony, and started to wipe the floor. Only then did he have the floor that Jiang Qi saw when he left the room.
By the time Jiang Qi came out to meet people as a human being after taking a shower, Wang Erya had already finished wiping the kitchen tiles and was about to wipe the balcony tiles.
"Erya, stop working and put the rag back. Let's go downstairs for breakfast."
Wang Erya put back the rag and followed Jiang Qi excitedly, welcoming the new life of being able to eat three meals a day.
Since Wang Erya had never had breakfast before, Jiang Qi took her directly to a standard breakfast shop at the entrance of the community where she could buy various types of breakfast and dine in.
"What do you want to eat? Just tell me." Jiang Qi asked Wang Erya after leading him to his seat.
Wang Erya looked at the menu on the wall and found that she didn't know a single word. She could only say: "Pork buns and white flour buns."
Jiang Qi bought three meat buns, a knife-cut steamed bun, a bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick and a tea egg for Wang Erya, while he bought a cage of steamed buns, a bowl of soy milk and a bowl of wontons.
After the store brought the breakfast to the table, Wang Erya waited for Jiang Qi to move his chopsticks, then he couldn't wait to grab the meat bun and took a big bite. The oil almost dripped without covering his mouth and he was reluctant to let go.
"By the way, Erya, I have to change your name." Jiang Qi said while drinking soy milk.
The name Wang Erya can be called by oneself, but it must not be used by others as a nickname. Especially for Liu Lan and the others, Wang Erya must have a good name.
"Erya can only be used as a nickname. You have to choose a formal name. Do you have a name you want to call yourself?" Jiang Qi chose to fully respect Wang Erya in terms of naming. After all, he didn't know how to choose a name.
Wang Erya thought for a while: "Steamed buns?"
"steamed stuffed bun?"
"flour?"
Jiang Qi thought it was better for him to get it.
Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone and searched for it, and then thought about the names of female classmates he still remembered over the years. After thinking about it, he finally decided on Qing He.
"Green lotus leaves. I originally wanted to use lotus, but the name also sounds a bit like a maid's name, peony, peony or something. Although the lotus leaves are not as beautiful as the lotus, they are still eye-catching."
"The lotus leaves that touch the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus that reflects the sun is uniquely red. No matter how bright the lotus is, it only looks good if it is set against the lotus leaves." Jiang Qi gave Wang Erya an in-depth analysis of his thought process in choosing the name.
Wang Erya nodded while eating the steamed buns, barely understanding.
"When someone asks you what your name is in the future, what should you say?"
Wang Erya took a sip of soy milk and said, "Wang Qinghe."
Very good, I understand the important part.
After finishing speaking, Wang Erya thought for a while and added: "Thank you, boss, for the name!"
