Comprehensive film: the sweet daily life of urban drama

Xu Hongdou served herself a bowl and sat opposite Damai, looking at the breakfast on the table. There were two cold dishes, one was cucumber, the other was spinach and peanuts, a few luncheon meat fried eggs, and a plate of small steamed buns. Compared with her usual fussy breakfast, this was considered very rich.

After taking a sip of the soup, Xu Hongdou's eyes lit up. "I never knew he had such a skill."

"Can you cook?" Barley asked curiously.

Xu Hongdou pinched her fingertips and said, "I know a little, but I rarely have time to do it. Besides, the small apartment I live in has some problems with the drainage. Every time I finish cooking, the sewer will smell bad."

"You seem to be very busy, why are you here?"

"I quit my job and just wanted to come here to relax and unwind."

After Da Mai came here, he basically stayed in his room every day, or basked in the sun in the yard. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you relax?"

Faced with this question, Xu Hongdou didn't know how to answer. After all, she didn't make any specific plans for herself when she came here. Her original purpose was just to lie down here.

Seeing that Xu Hongdou didn't answer, Da Mai guessed, "Go somewhere else to play with your phone?"

"Not really. The scenery is so beautiful. You can try to stay away from your phone."

"So where are you going to play today?"

"Repair my phone." He said with a bit of embarrassment, and quickly explained, "My phone is broken."

Barley frowned. "Isn't that a good way to stay away from your phone? When your phone is next to you, you always want to use it. If it breaks, you won't want to use it anymore, right?"

Xu Hongdou smiled awkwardly. She could tell that this girl wasn't very good at chatting, but she was a simple person. She quite liked her. "Da Mai, judging from your accent, you are from Hunan?"

"You can hear that too?"

"Who else heard it?"

"It's the Xiaowu brother you mentioned. He recognized it after just two sentences. Is my Mandarin very poor?" Damai was a little curious. She had never noticed it before, but after someone recognized her accent twice in a row, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Seeing Da Mai's serious expression, Xu Hongdou explained, "Is that so? Actually, it's not. Your Mandarin is pretty standard. It's just that people from every place have certain speaking habits. The easiest to tell apart are people from the Northeast, just like Brother Xiaowu. Basically, you can tell them apart after just a few words."

Thinking of Chen An's words, Da Mai asked, "So your previous job also involved frequent contact with people from all over the world?"

"I used to work in a five-star hotel in Beijing, so I came into contact with a lot of guests."

"Oh, so you are from Beijing?"

"No, no, I studied there and have been working there since graduation. I have been here for nearly ten years. My hometown is Shandong."

After a few awkward casual chats, Da Mai finished his meal. Although Chen An said he would wash the dishes together when he got back, he felt that this was not a good idea. After washing the dishes, he said hello to Xu Hongdou: "Take your time to eat. You can wash the dishes over there."

"Okay, got it. Go to bed early."

After finishing her meal, Xu Hongdou returned upstairs and saw a book hanging at the door of the room with a note on it. She picked it up and took a look at it. She couldn't help but laugh. She was right. Although Damai was not very good at communication, she seemed to be a nice person.

When Chen An was running, he received a message of thanks from Damai, but he did not reply. It seems that this girl was probably lying in bed when she sent the message and could fall asleep at any time.

I returned to the courtyard, walked into the kitchen and sat at the dining table. Just as I was about to eat, I saw Nana hurried downstairs. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Did this girl get up so early?

"Nana, have you eaten?"

"Xiao Chen, you got up so early?" Nana was a little surprised.

Chen An invited, "I've finished running and made breakfast. Didn't I say yesterday that I'd let you try my cooking? Now's the perfect opportunity."

I thought to myself, no wonder she has such a good figure, but I still waved my hand and said, "Then how about..."

"Be generous, what's the point of this and that? I've already eaten barley and red beans. Don't you want to give me some face?"

"Have you all eaten?"

Chen An stood up and scooped up the soup, which was just right. He placed it opposite and motioned for Nana to help herself.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, which was very homely but looked very appetizing, Nana was still very surprised, "Did you make all this?"

"I bought the small flower rolls, but I made the rest. Try them."

After taking a sip of Tremella soup, Nana nodded and praised, "It's delicious. If I didn't know you were the author, I would have suspected that you were a chef."

"The chef hasn't made it, but he has made something similar. I'll let you try it when I have the chance."

Nana pouted, "You're still keeping me in suspense."

"By the way, whose eggs are in the refrigerator? I forgot to buy them yesterday, so I used a few this morning. I'll buy them back later."

"That one belongs to Master Ma. He usually gets up early to cook eggs for dinner. But he can't get up at this time. He usually has to be around eight o'clock."

Chen An looked at Nana's dress in a strange way, "Why do you usually get up so early? There shouldn't be many tourists in the restaurant at this time. How come you, a volunteer, seem to care more about the restaurant than the boss?"

Nana looked at Chen An, her eyes narrowed into a crescent, "Xiao Chen, what are you going to do today?"

Looking at Nana's expression, Chen An asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you have a conspiracy?"

Nana was discovered to be thinking about something, and snorted a little embarrassedly, "What conspiracy is there? I was just asking casually."

Chen An pinched his fingers and joked, "I calculated with my fingers, you are planning to make me a laborer."

"You're so smart. I'm going to the warehouse to help Sister Xiaochun. If you're free, come with me?"

Chen An thought about it and thought that Xu Hongdou was most likely going to the ancient city to repair her cell phone today. Moreover, today was Sunday and the stock market was closed. He was not in a hurry to write, so he could take the opportunity to visit the e-commerce warehouse. After all, it was an industry he had never been exposed to before, so he still needed to learn more about it. What's more, he could get in touch with Nana more.

"Is there any benefit? I won't do anything that has no benefit."

Nana rolled her eyes at Chen An, "What benefit do you want?"

Chen An pointed at the table and smiled.

"Haha, just like Barley, you don't like washing dishes, right? Okay, I agree."

After dinner, Chen An took advantage of Nana washing the dishes to go upstairs, take a shower, change clothes, and pick up his phone to check. Nannan sent a message with a simple message, "363 days to go, Xiao An, the horse farm matters have been dealt with, and the house has been vacated. I'm going back to Nanjing with my parents today. Take care of yourself outside. I miss you."

Chen An was not surprised to see that the child was not mentioned. No one knew this gentle and considerate woman better than himself. After hesitating for a moment, he took a sexy selfie and sent a smiley face.

On the bus from Manzhouli to Hailar, Chen Nanxing saw the photos on her phone and her face turned red. Even though they were not together for only three short days, she still missed her man very much. She could see his strong chest. Even though there was no text on it, she was still very happy. She was really worried that this stubborn man would ignore her for a whole year.

Touching her belly, Chen Nanxing wanted to tell Xiao An the good news, but she held back. Although her parents agreed with their relationship, understood her approach, and planned to give them money to start a business, she still didn't dare to tell him directly that she was pregnant.

On the one hand, she didn't want to put pressure on her man. Buying a house was already a hurdle. When she talked to him about having children, Chen Nanxing was afraid that this guy would be exhausted. One year after another, by the time she had given birth to the child and recovered, she would probably be able to work. Her parents would help take care of the child, and if the two of them worked hard, there would still be hope for their daily life.

"Take care of yourself and don't be too tired. Don't forget, I can make a lot of money." After sending a message, Chen Nanxing put away his phone.

Mother Chen hugged her daughter lovingly and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry, we all support you."

"Well, thank you, Mom." Chen Nanxing leaned his head on his mother's shoulder, feeling at ease.

After looking at the message on his phone, Chen An smiled and set a small goal for himself: to have at least a car, a house, a certain amount of savings, and his own business within a year. It seems that he still needs to work hard.
