Novel Bin Chapter 10
It’s something he’s never smelled in the morning since his mother died unexpectedly.
At this time, the door connecting the backyard was opened. Su Ruizhe came in with a tray, which contained a bowl of steaming porridge and two or three small dishes.
“You, you woke up?” When he saw that Zhang Yun had woken up, two lovely red clouds appeared again on his small white face.
Zhang Yun saw his nervous and shy little appearance, and his face also showed a smile unconsciously.
Su Ruizhe first put the tray on a chair, then dragged the table to the bedside, and then put his prepared meals on the table one by one.
The bowl of porridge was boiled into very soft glutinous white rice, decorated with some green shallots, the center poured some fresh soy sauce, there is a thin layer of oil floating on the surface, it looks very appetizing. There are three small dishes of fried spinach, cold cucumber and rose fermented bean curd*, which are suitable for porridge.
“Did you do it yourself?” Zhang Yun asked in some surprise.
Su Ruizhe’s small face suddenly became redder, and with some embarrassment, he said, “I made it. I thought that you should not eat too greasy food when you were injured, so I cooked some porridge for you… I don’t know if it suits your taste. Would you like to try it?”
“Of course.” Zhang Yun is very happy. He likes to cook his own breakfast. Even if it tastes very bad, he will eat it as a rare noodle without changing its color.
“What about you? Have you eaten yet?”
“I’ve eaten!” When Su Ruizhe got up in the morning to cook porridge for Zhan Yun, he boiled two eggs in the kitchen.
Zhang Yun was sorry that he could not eat with him, but he was happy to think that Su Ruizhe had prepared the breakfast for him. It’s just that Zhang Yun didn’t expect much from Su Ruizhe’s craftsmanship. How could a young kid have excellent cooking skills?
However, when Zhang Yun took a spoon and scooped a spoon of porridge into his mouth, he had an amazing feeling. The porridge was very thoroughly cooked, with chicken and fresh soy sauce, which made the whole bowl of porridge more delicious. Then he tasted stir-fried spinach and cold cucumber. These two dishes are not technically rich in cooking, but they are such simple dishes, which make Zhang Yun’s food very satisfying.
*Perfect wifey material! XD*
Rose fermented bean curd with porridge tastes very good. Zhang Yun has eaten everything Su Ruizhe prepared for him cleanly.
“It’s delicious. Thank you.”
“No, you’re welcome.” Hearing the praise of Zhang Yun, Su Ruizhe smiled and bent his beautiful eyes. In fact, he is not very good at cooking. Although he lived with his grandfather when he was young and was limited by the conditions, he usually cooked by himself, but because of the lack of food materials, he did not make too many dishes. Namely, stir-fried vegetables, cooked rice, cooked porridge, the next level of noodles… As for the vegetables with thick red sauce*, he doesn’t know anything about it…
*I don’t know anything about that either but it’s probably hard to make?*
Today, his breakfast can be said to be very simple and ordinary, but Big Brother Yun did not abandon it at all, Big Brother Yun is really a good person.
With that in mind, Su Ruizhe went to wash the dishes happily.
Zhang Yun’s mood is also excellent. He finds that Su Ruizhe is like an inexhaustible treasure mine, which brings him unexpected surprises every time.
After solving the problem of breakfast, Su Ruizhe began to worry about something. Should he go to sell today’s vegetables? If he did not sell vegetables, he would not be able to earn money. In order to cope with the coming apocalypse, he had to find ways to earn money and buy large quantities of materials for reserve. But now that Zhang Yun is recovering in his home, he can’t leave Zhang Yun behind and go out to sell his own vegetables, can he?
What if Zhang Yun suddenly feels uncomfortable? What if it’s boring? What if he wants to find him?
But he can’t stay put. Even if he doesn’t sell vegetables today, he still needs to buy something. Zhang Yun’s clothes are stained with blood, so he has to get him some new replacement sets and buy some daily necessities such as towels, toothbrushes, and slippers. He can’t let Zhang Yun use his, can he? He also wanted to buy a cookbook and a chicken, and come back to try to cook some chicken soup for Zhang Yun. You can’t make a person eat porridge and vegetarian dishes all the time, can you? The wounded need nutrition the most!
After a long time of entanglement, Su Ruizhe decided to go out, but he would come back with the fastest speed.
When Su Ruizhe returned to his room, he told Zhang Yun that he was going out to buy something. But before he finished, he was interrupted by Zhang Yun.
“That’s just right. I wanted you to go out and buy something for myself.” With that, Zhang Yun stretched out his arms, took the clothes he had taken off yesterday from the back of his chair, took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Su Ruizhe. “You take this card with the password 66666, and the money in it is free for you to spend.”
“Oh…” Su Ruizhe dully accepted the card.
“There’s too little stuff in your house. It’s time to add a little more. It’s better to buy a TV set. It’s better to watch the news when you’re free at night. And air conditioning. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Without air conditioning, I can’t stand it anymore. Do you have a washing machine in your house? You see, I’m going to stay at your house for a few days. You can’t let me wash my clothes, can you? Better buy one, too. And change your laundry, and you have to buy a few sets. Look at your clothes, they’re all worn out…” Zhan Yun chattered a lot, listed a lot of things to buy, saw Su Ruizhe staring with a pair of black eyes, the whole person was stupefied, and asked with humor, “Xiao Zhe, did you hear everything?”
“Hear, Heard…” Su Ruizhe returned to his mind and nodded quickly.
“Let’s go.”
“All right!” Su Ruizhe answered and went out.
When Zhang Yun had given him his card to buy a TV sets, washing machine and air conditioner, Su Ruizhe himself refused. He felt that the apocalypse was coming and there was no need to waste money on those things. But then he listened to the meaning of Zhang Yun’s words as if he was going to stay here for a few more days. Su Ruizhe’s heart was in full swing and his mood soared. If it is in his own words, it is casual and indifferent, but through Zhang Yun’s words, he wants to give the best to each other! He will definitely buy everything back according to the requirements of Zhang Yun. Let him live a more comfortable life here.
Su Ruizhe took a bus to the biggest supermarket in town, chose the most cost-effective color TV set, as well as the cheapest washing machine and air conditioner. There’s an old-fashioned refrigerator at home. There’s no need to waste money on new ones. With a last look at the bill, it was almost 4,000 yuan. Su Ruizhe settled the bill with heartache. Maybe that’s all for the big stuff but the supermarket offered free delivery. So Su Ruizhe left his address and went on to buy other things.
He wandered around the men’s area for half a day. Finally, he chose an ordinary T-shirt. He bought five T-shirts for L and S, and several pants for Zhang Yun. They were all made of pure cotton. They should be comfortable to wear. After buying socks, shoes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, brushes, cups, towels, washbasins and other daily necessities, Su Ruizhe went to the fresh area and bought a variety of fresh meat. He planned to go home and try some dishes for Zhang Yun according to the recipe. As for vegetables and fruits, he didn’t need them, and there was no room for them.
At last, Su Ruizhe left the supermarket with his big bag and a small bag. He couldn’t bear to waste money on taxis. He walked a long way, found a place where nobody was, and quietly put everything in his hand into the space. Then he went to the bookstore with ease and bought two cookbooks. One was a book for beginners who specialize in cooking, and the other was a cookbook for homemade dishes. The pictures of the two books looked very attractive.
After getting off the bus and returning home, he found no one in the alley and took the bags out of the space again. He slipped into the house all the way.
“I’m back!” Su Ruizhe put several bags of things on the ground breathlessly.
Zhang Yun wrinkled his brows slightly and looked at his sweaty and laborious manner, he felt a kind of unspeakable pain, “You will not bring it back by yourself, right? Didn’t you take a taxi?”
“I came back by taxi… It’s just bringing it in from the entrance to the house.” After Su Ruizhe said with a guilty heart, he took the things and ran to the backyard.
He saw him run away and shook his head helplessly. Su Ruizhe’s guilty conscience is directly written on his face. He knows at a glance that the child is lying. It is estimated that because he is distressed about money, he is reluctant to take a taxi.
He must find a way to correct his stingy problem in the future.
The author has something to say:
[Write me a little theatre on the street]
Su Xiaozhe: I blushed?!
Zhan Xiaoyun: What a soft, tough, simple and kind child, a shy little rabbit. Want to eat it!
Su Xiaozhe: You can’t be too anxious to jump on it. You can’t eat it now. Ouch, it’s so hard to hold back. My face is red!
Zhan Xiaoyun: I always feel a little cold behind my back. The quilt is covered. Does anyone want to plan against me!?
Su Xiaozhe: What’s wrong with Zhan Xiaoyun? Is it cold? Cover with more quilts, and get well soon! (I’d like to have some of you) (＾＿＾)
Zhan Xiaoyun: Well! What’s wrong with it? No, somebody must be trying to murder me! Only Su Xiaozhe can be so soft and rigid, tough and tenacious, simple and kind!
Su Xiaozhe: Ha ha (＾＿＾)
