Cheng Mengying didn't object. She knew that she couldn't ask her family for help now. Otherwise, they were likely to be involved, and it would be a big problem.
After breakfast, they packed up. Cheng Mengying thought for a while and decided to take Invincible Dog with her. Its strength was very high now. If there was any danger, it might be able to help.
When she returned to the Tang Family, she bought the place where she used to live. After all, it had left her and Xiao Chen a lot of good memories. So no one lived there and it had been vacant.
Xiao Chen opened the door with his Primordial Qi and walked in.
"How long has it been since someone lived here? And there is only one room and one bathroom. How can two of us live here? "Cheng Mengying followed Xiao Chen and looked around. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Looking at the corridor that was covered in cobwebs, as well as the dusty desk and bed, the young lady was about to collapse.
On the way here, Cheng Mengying saw the dilapidated outer wall of the community, and her heart was faintly worried. Originally, she secretly prayed that this was a special period, and she couldn't ask for too much. As long as the place could be a little cleaner and brighter, it would be enough. She didn't expect the real situation to be so terrible.
"Uh … It's not that bad, is it? But it's a little dirty. It's okay. Wait a minute. I'll clean it up. " Xiao Chen scratched his head and took the initiative to pick up the broom. He began to clean the room inside and outside.
Cheng Mengying stood at the side and watched for a while. When she saw Xiao Chen busy himself, she felt a little apologetic. She mentally prepared herself for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to put on the rubber gloves and apron from the villa. Then she picked up a rag and a bucket and began to help Xiao Chen clean.
After working for about half an hour, the two of them finally cleaned the whole house. Cheng Mengying looked at the clean house and admired the results of her labor. She nodded with satisfaction. In the past, when she was at home, she basically didn't do housework. Now that she finally had the chance to do it, her heart was immediately filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Aiya, Eldest Miss, your face is covered in dust, you look like a big tabby cat. Stand there and don't move. I'll help you wipe it! "Xiao Chen said as he took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped the stains on Cheng Mengying's face.
"Oh, thank … thank you." Cheng Mengying closed her eyes in embarrassment and let the wet tissue gently wipe her cheeks. A strange sense of happiness suddenly welled up in her heart. She felt that she and Xiao Chen were like a loving couple.
Ah! What am I thinking! Cheng Mengying's heart skipped a beat and she quickly held her breath, fearing that Xiao Chen would notice something wrong.
"Alright, it's all cleaned up!" Xiao Chen threw the wet tissue into the wastepaper basket, then took out the mat he brought from the villa and laid it on the narrow corridor.
"You … what are you doing?" Cheng Mengying, who had just enjoyed the feeling of happiness, asked in astonishment.
Xiao Chen pointed to the room and said, "You sleep in my room from now on, and I'll sleep here!"
"Ah? No way! It's so narrow that I can't even turn over. How can I sleep here? You … you'd better sleep on the floor in the room. It's more comfortable than squeezing in the corridor! " Cheng Mengying didn't expect that Xiao Chen would take the initiative to sleep on the floor in the corridor. She was a little bit reluctant and said hesitantly.
"That's not good, is it? You're the eldest miss, of course, you should sleep in the big room. I'm just a servant. How can I sleep in the same room with you? People will think that I'm taking advantage of you! "Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head.
Originally, Cheng Mengying was a little hesitant, but when she heard what Xiao Chen said, she suddenly became stubborn. She put her hands on her waist and said, "If I ask you to sleep, you should sleep! You're a man, don't be so wishy-washy. What servant? I'm your fiancée! "
Cheng Mengying stared at Xiao Chen with hatred. She didn't know if this guy did it on purpose. He didn't sleep in the room, but in the corridor!
"Oh? You want me to sleep with … you? "Xiao Chen pretended to be ignorant and teased.
"You … How dare you! Believe it or not, I'll kick you into the sky! Just like the horse dragonfly! " Cheng Mengying's face immediately turned red. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen in annoyance and said while gritting her teeth. She even raised her leg as if to show off.
"Ugh … I'm just kidding. Why did you take it seriously?" Xiao Chen laughed.
He picked up the mat again and took it to the room to lay it. Then, he walked out with the basket. As he walked, he said, "Mengying, I'm going to buy some daily necessities and things for tomorrow's stall. Then, I'll buy some vegetables and prepare for tonight's dinner. You stay at home and play with Invincible Dog! "
"Wait for me. I'm going too! There's nothing here. I'll be bored to death if I just stay here! " Cheng Mengying quickly followed. She wanted to watch a few episodes of "School Belle's Bodyguard" on iQIYI, but this broken place didn't even have WIFI.
"Woof!" Invincible Dog, who was originally sleeping in the corner, also barked and ran over. It followed closely behind them. It seemed that it didn't want to stay at home.
"Well, then let's go together." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that after he made money from selling breakfast, the first thing he needed to do was to install WIFI.
Now that the price of broadband had dropped and increased, he could still afford it …
Two people and a dog strolled to the vicinity of the morning market. They walked into the market and began to stroll. They looked like a young couple, a perfect match, which attracted many envious gazes.
This was the first time Miss Cheng went to the market in her life. As she walked, she looked around. No matter what she saw, she felt that everything was very fresh.
Xiao Chen had been here many times, so he was already familiar with the place. He first bought some vegetables and meat for dinner. Then, he bought a bag of flour and a bag of soybeans for tomorrow's breakfast. Finally, he bought some daily necessities.
Feeling that he had bought almost everything, Xiao Chen carried a few big bags and left the market with Cheng Mengying and Invincible Dog.
The shopping process was very smooth, but what surprised Xiao Chen was that although it was the young mistress's first time shopping in the market, she was very experienced in haggling, as if it was a natural skill she had. Sometimes, just for the price of a few cents, she would argue until the other party had no choice but to compromise.
"Hmph! How is it? I'm good, right? I helped you save a few yuan this time! "Cheng Mengying was also carrying two bags of fruits in her hands. She looked very proud. I didn't expect to bargain with those hawkers. It seems that it is quite interesting. It seems that I can often come here to practice in the future!
"I say, young miss, although we really don't have much money now, you don't have to fight with others for a few cents, right? Those vegetable hawkers are actually not having it easy. We don't lack that little money. " Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. Recalling the scene of Cheng Mengying arguing with the hawker, he still felt that it was a little unbelievable.
Who would have thought that the young miss of Songning's first aristocratic family would actually bargain with a vegetable hawker in the market for a small profit? No one would believe it if it was said out.
Cheng Mengying didn't wait for the praise, but she heard a criticism instead. She was suddenly furious. She stared at Xiao Chen and said angrily, "Wow, Xiao Chen, when you were down and out, in order to buy a few packets of instant noodles, you had to bargain with others. In the end, you only saved thirty cents after dawdling for an hour. Now you are actually criticizing me? "
"Ugh … Well, it seems that our bargaining skills are not good. Enemies really don't meet each other!" Xiao Chen shook his head and teased. He took one of the bags of fruits from the young mistress' hands and suddenly made a turn. He did not walk into the neighborhood that the two of them lived in. Instead, he walked toward a grocery store not far away.
"Tsk! Who is your enemy? Don't think so highly of yourself! " Cheng Mengying pouted. She was about to belittle Xiao Chen a few more words when she suddenly saw him walking to the grocery store. She thought that Xiao Chen was going to buy something again, so she quickly chased after him and asked, "What else do you want to buy? We've spent a lot of money today! "
Xiao Chen didn't have time to explain to Cheng Mengying. He directly greeted the old lady sitting outside the grocery store, "Auntie, do you still remember me?"
The old lady, who had been basking in the sun, raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen carefully. She nodded and said, "Yes, I do! Aren't you my boyfriend? "
Xiao Chen put the fruits on the table and said with a smile, "Thank you for looking after our tricycle and equipment for me and Tang Tang. These fruits are for you to eat. Please like them."
After Tang Tang left, the old lady of the grocery store kept her tricycle and equipment very well. In order to prevent them from getting wet in the rain, she specially covered them with a plastic sheet. Xiao Chen had seen it just now with his sharp eyes.
The old lady waved her hand and said with a little embarrassment, "Hey! It's good enough that you remember to visit me. Why did you spend money to buy fruits? Don't you know how sorry I am? "
"Haha, it's my pleasure! I've troubled you for so long. It's a little gift from me and Tang Tang! "Xiao Chen replied with a smile.
In fact, Xiao Chen originally wanted to give the old lady a sum of money so that she could enjoy her leisure life. She didn't have to work from dawn to dusk to open the store. But considering that he didn't have much money on hand, he had to put it aside for the time being. He would give it to her when he made money in the future.
Cheng Mengying stood beside him for a while. Only then did she understand Xiao Chen's intention. Although she was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's humble and polite attitude toward the old lady, when she heard "Tang Tang's boyfriend", she got angry again.
Since even the old lady said so, it meant that these two people had been secretly having sex for a long time! This … This Xiao Chen obviously didn't take me, his fiancée, seriously!
Cheng Mengying, who was in a bad mood, glared at Xiao Chen and snorted coldly from her nostrils.
