Chapter 204 asks for a special gift
An hour later, Jiang Chuheng was ready to pack up the bacon and steamed pork with plum. Li Haitang took a small piece with chopsticks and tasted it. He nodded with satisfaction. This time, she added a little cumin powder and pepper to the marinate. The taste was slightly different and more fragrant.
It was just one o' clock and all the dishes were ready. Li Haitang first packed the dishes that he was going to take with him into an enameled box that he had already prepared, covered it with a lid, and wrapped it in a double plastic bag. These were all meat dishes, and there was a lot of oil in them, which would leak out if she was not careful. She packed them carefully.
After washing her hands, she gently went upstairs to call jiang chuheng. In the small space surrounded by curtains was Li Tao's bed. She opened it and saw that she was not there. She continued to go to Li Jianguo's room. She was still not there.
The thought of him sleeping in her bed made her temples pop. She had never experienced a man sleeping in her bed in her previous life and this life. Her brain went down for a moment, and her heart thumped violently.
After a while, she regained her senses and took deep breaths to force herself to calm down. She thought to herself, "Chu heng must not have thought too much. He must have found a bed to rest at will. He must not have thought too much. He must have thought too much. I shouldn't have thought too much. Yes, I shouldn't have thought too much."
After meditating seven or eight times in her mind, Li Haitang was successfully hypnotized and brainwashed by herself. At this moment, she firmly believed that she had thought too much and that her mind was dirty.
After she had succeeded in deceiving herself, she gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in. Looking up, she saw that Jiang Chuheng's handsome and clear face was facing the door. His face, which was sleeping soundly, was softer and more relaxed than usual.
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Li Haitang didn't want to disturb him and wanted him to sleep as much as possible, but when he thought that he had to train at night and had to catch a bus to the provincial capital later, he had to go over and call him up. She walked to the bed and gently pushed him. "Chu heng, it's time to get up."
Jiang Chuheng frowned and moved slightly, but there was no response.
Just as Li Haitang was about to call out for the second time, she caught a glimpse of the belt pants hanging on the hanger next to her. Her face flushed red and her heart thumped again. She pushed him hard in a panic and her voice became louder. "Chu heng, it's one o' clock. It's time to get up."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Chuheng opened her eyes in a daze. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Haitang turn around and walk out in a panic. Her voice came from afar. "Get dressed and come down for dinner."
Li Haitang, who had taken two steps down the stairs, stood in the living room for a long time, not knowing what to do next. When she heard a slight noise coming from upstairs, she came to her senses and immediately went to get hot water and a new towel to wash his face.
After brainwashing herself a few more times, her face returned to normal. When Jiang Chuheng came down with a smile on her face, she immediately came over with a basin. There was only a hint of unnaturalness in her voice. "Chu heng, wash your face first. I'm going to prepare dinner."
"Okay." When she woke up, Jiang Chuheng's voice was a little more lazy than usual and sounded better.
She had agreed to treat him to a big meal. Naturally, the dishes she prepared were all his favorites. She followed the principle of not wasting. There were many kinds of dishes and not many portions of each dish.
Jiang Chuheng only ate two mouthfuls of rice on the train last night, but he didn't eat anything this morning, and the wife cakes he had eaten before were almost digested. Seeing the dishes on this table, his appetite increased greatly, especially when he saw the waxy steam covered with the red tongtong chili shreds, and he could not help but drool.
"Chu heng, try this cured steamed pork. Today, we steamed cured fish and bacon. We added a little more seasoning when we pickled them. I tried one before. It was super delicious." Seeing the delicious food, all the ripples in Li Haitang's heart were thrown out of the sky.
"Yes." Jiang Chuheng put a piece of fat and lean bacon in the mouth, and it did have a different flavor. "Yummy. Is that the same as the last time Zhou Yunyang called?"
Li Haitang replied while eating, "That's right. He needs so much time at once, and he's in a hurry. Fortunately, my classmates and mom help me out, or I'll be exhausted."
"You can ignore him." Jiang Chuheng said something with an ambiguous meaning.
Li Haitang smiled and said, "Nothing. I've heard him say before that his grandmother is from here, and their food is spicy. Ever since his grandmother's health is not good, they rarely eat authentic hunan food, and the whole family misses it. It doesn't take much effort to give him some wax. It's just that he didn't say hello earlier and booked it too late."
Jiang Chuheng ate in silence. He didn't want her to know that he had provoked Zhou Yunyang, or else she would have put the blame on him.
"Steamed pork with plum and bacon. I've packed them for you. It's cold now, so you can save it for a few more days, but don't leave it too long. It's best to finish it in three or four days." Li Haitang warned like a long-winded elder.
Jiang Chuheng thought of a few foodies and big stomachs in the dormitory and smiled helplessly, "Three or four days? Hehe, I can guarantee that after the training tonight, we will be robbed of everything tomorrow."
Li Haitang had long heard of his roommate from his letters. After all, every time she sent him candy, she would have to mail it at one time. It was hard for her to imagine how a group of old men would like to eat it so much. Now it seemed that they were not only greedy, but also had a good appetite.
"Do you want me to get you some more?" In her mind, she was thinking about the ten boxes. How many pieces could Jiang Chuheng get herself?
Jiang chuheng shook his head, "No, that's enough. When school starts, they'll bring some specialties from home. We'll have a good time in the next half month."
"Poof!" Li Haitang couldn't help but smile and said with a smile, "I should be going to the provincial capital in the next two months during the month off. I'll bring you some food then."
Jiang Chuheng's smile deepened. "Send me a letter in advance to confirm the time."
"Okay." Li Haitang picked up some food for him again and chatted with him about the latest interesting things.
After eating and drinking, Li Haitang put away the dishes and made a pot of tea. While the two of them were drinking tea, Jiang Chuheng took out the new year present she had given her and curled her lips, "This is a new year present from the three of us. They asked me to bring it along."
"Hehe, thank you." Li Haitang smiled and reached out to take it. The top translation of a famous foreign book was from jiang chuheng, and on it was his own blessing. "Wow, I like this book very much. Thank you very much."
This time, their new year's gifts were carefully prepared according to her preferences, and she was very satisfied. Xu Yueyang sent a small alarm clock, and Ji Dongming sent a box of chocolates. I heard that his friend brought it back from abroad. It was delicious and authentic.
After receiving their new year's gifts, Li Haitang naturally had to return them. He took out something he had already prepared and handed it to him. "Here, this is my new year's gift for the three of you. It's the same thermos."
Jiang Chuheng opened the box and saw that the design was very unique. He knew that she had brought it back from Yangcheng. He would like anything she gave him, but... He didn't want to be treated the same as the other two. "Haitang, I like the thermos very much, but I came all the way to send you a computer. No extra reward?"
"Extra? Yes, and a kilo of oolong tea, which they don't have." Li Haitang didn't expect that he would ask for an extra reward, and he didn't come to his senses for a moment.
"You bought me oolong tea specially, not counting." There was a hint of childish grievance in Jiang Chuheng's tone.
Li Haitang: ... "Then what do you want? Just say it."
"I want something different." Jiang Chuheng didn't think it was childish to ask for extra rewards for a girl.
"Different?" Li Haitang raised her delicate eyebrows and rolled her glassy eyes. Then she got up and ran upstairs. She rummaged through the cupboard and brought down a beautiful and delicate box. "Here, these are all the little things I found in Yangcheng. They are unique and unique to me. Pick them up as you please."
Jiang Chuheng: ..." He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. She was so smart, why couldn't she guess what he meant? Is she too young to understand that? After thinking about it, it was possible that he didn't know anything at his age. He should wait.
The little things in the box were neatly arranged. They were indeed interesting things, but most of them were girls' favorites. He picked out a metal box with two thumbs wide and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Hehe, chu heng, you have a good eye. You must like this." Li Haitang took it from him and gently pressed a tiny switch on the lower side. The lid on the metal box opened automatically.
Seeing the structure inside, Jiang Chuheng immediately knew what it was. He chuckled and said, "It was a lighter, but it looks pretty good."
"That's right. It's much better and more practical than the lighters on the market." Li Haitang liked this little thing very much. He bought one for himself and two for Li Jianguo and Li Tao. Lighters were essential for smokers.
She rummaged through the box and found a long silver object with a man's middle finger. She happily handed it to him, "And this is for you too. You must like it."
It was a foldable, multi-purpose, sharp camping knife that was easy to carry around. Jiang Chuheng immediately fell in love with it and said with a smile, "I like this one. It's really well designed."
"Well, it was designed and made by a middle school student. He took the finished product and set it up on the street. He offered this knife for ten yuan. Everyone else thought it wasn't worth it, but I thought it was worth it. This is someone else's creative effort, not imitation or theft. Such people and products are naturally worthy of respect, so I didn't hesitate to buy them." In her opinion, talented young people must be supported and encouraged by everyone. The future progress of this society depends on their intelligence and hard work.
Jiang Chuheng smiled slightly. She was really different. What others cared about was superficial value, but what she saw was very deep value. Her spiritual level was far higher than ordinary people, which was what he admired most.
Putting away her "Unusual" new year gifts, Jiang Chuheng briefly taught her how to use a laptop, then took a large bag of food Li Haitang gave him and went to the bus station.
Li Haitang insisted on sending him away, so he was naturally the happiest. Jiang Chuheng took her to the bus station on her bicycle. After he bought the tickets, Li Haitang returned to the shop on his bicycle.
The laptop felt really good, and li haitang spent some time familiarizing herself with it, and then typed all the manuscripts written these days into the computer document.
It was not until evening when the phone rang downstairs that she got up and went downstairs to answer the phone. The call was from Jiang Chuheng, informing her that he had arrived safely.
