“At the weekend, after I’ve met your parents, I’ll make a trip back to my old house and cut two bamboos to pull back.”
War Yin said indifferently, “No need, I’ll have someone come over tomorrow to put them up.”
The youngest grandmother of the War family went all the way back to the countryside to cut two bamboos and pull them back, just to dry clothes, how dare she think of that.
“That’s fine, I’ll leave it to you then.”
“This is my home too.”
Hai Tong hmmed and walked towards her room with her clothes in her arms, pushing open the door before turning her head to say to Zhan Yin, “If you want, after you take a shower, you can take out the clothes you changed out of, and I’ll help you wash them together when I do.”
“No thanks, tomorrow I’ll ask someone to send two hand washers over and place one in the bathrooms of both rooms, it’s more convenient.”
“That’s fine, let me know how much you spent on the washers and I’ll pay half.”
He had already given her a bank card and said that was the money for the household, and naturally she couldn’t let him pay for all of it when he bought more washing machines.
War Yin said indifferently, “Two washing machines don’t cost much, just a few thousand dollars, I can still afford to pay, besides, it’s for the furniture we bought for our little family.” One second to remember
Afraid that she would think he wouldn’t live a life, he explained again, “I’m usually busy at work, I leave early and return late, my clothes are sent to the dry cleaners, so I didn’t buy a washing machine.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to live, it was that he hadn’t thought that much about it and didn’t know what things he needed to live on; for the past thirty years he had lived the privileged life of a young lord, although he did do what he could.
But washing clothes was something he had never really done.
“Understood.”
Hai Tong also knew that many senior white-collar workers were settling for life because they were busy at work, and would not think about such trivial things as firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long.
“Mr. War, you go to bed early too.”
Hai Tong went into the room and then closed the door and locked it behind her.
War Yin heard the sound of her unlocking the door and his eyes sank, thinking that she was defending herself against him, thinking that he also locked the door to his room at night and closed even the window, also defending himself against her, he felt even again.
It was good to get along like this now.
She has her limits and he has his, respecting each other and giving each other plenty of room to be free.
Mostly, she didn’t expect him to do his duty as a husband.
A few moments later, Zhan Yin took out his mobile phone and called his housekeeper, Uncle Ming. When Uncle Ming answered the phone, he ordered in a low voice, “Uncle Ming, tomorrow, arrange for me to have two washing machines sent to Ming Yuan Garden, what brand, you can arrange, it doesn’t have to be too expensive, but not too cheap either.”
Uncle Ming respectfully agreed.
War Yin quickly hung up the phone, looking again at the closed door of the room, he got up and went back to his room.
There were no more words all night.
The next morning at six o’clock, War Yin was awakened by a voice call.
He took his phone and found that it was Hai Tong calling him. He was a little angry but held back and answered Hai Tong’s call.
“Mr. War, are you awake? We had an appointment to go to the florist at six to buy flowers?”
“Up.”
“Then I’ll wait for you, and you hurry up.”
“Okay.”
Having promised someone last night, now even if he was still sleepy, War Yin quickly got up, changed his clothes, washed and brushed, and went out the door.
Hai Tong was carrying a small money bag with her mobile phone stuffed inside as well as her keys and the bank card that War Yin had given her for her home, later, she had to go to the teller machine to check how much money was inside.
The money will be used to buy things.
