Code Name: Flame

Chapter 4 Is This Fate?
After finally lighting up the briquettes stove, I realized that I didn't buy all the condiments, so I had to borrow from another tenant. Anyway, she might not be able to tell if she used a little.

Chen Jia likes to cook. He has always believed that in order to be good to himself, he must first be good to his stomach.

When the two dishes were cooked and found that the briquettes were not finished, I murmured in my heart, is it a waste of briquettes?
Turning around and seeing a kettle, I immediately filled the kettle with water and put it on the briquette stove.

I clapped my hands in satisfaction, walked to the table and admired my work, still a little proud in my heart.

It is the first time to use a briquette stove to cook vegetables, and it is already very good to be able to do this.In the previous life, natural gas was very cool when it burned, and the fire could be controlled, unlike this stove, which has always been a firepower.

Suddenly there was the sound of high-heeled shoes, and then stopped at the door, and then there was the sound of rustling the key to open the door.

The door opened, and a tall woman appeared at the door wearing a light yellow short-sleeved cheongsam.

Chen Jia's brain suddenly exploded.

Seeing a man standing in her room, the woman couldn't help taking half a step back.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Chen Jia was startled, and quickly waved her hands, "Don't get me wrong, I just rented a house today, I... I just moved here."

In order to prove that he was not lying, he took out the key from his pocket and showed it to the woman, "Look, the key Mrs. Yao gave me."

The woman looked at it suspiciously for a while, as if she felt that there should be no problem, and then stepped in.

Facing the woman's searching gaze, Chen Jia was a little embarrassed, and forced a smile, "My name is Chen Jia."

The woman glanced at Chen Jia, and suddenly her face slowly darkened. "We seem to have seen it before, haven't we? The night before yesterday, you ate wontons at the shop."

Chen Jia was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know why he was embarrassed, "Yes... yes, what a coincidence."

The woman glanced at Chen Jia again, her eyes fell on the table, "Did you burn it?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes."

"I feel light at night, so I hope...Chen...Chen Jia, right?" Seeing Chen Jia nodding, he continued: "So I hope Mr. Chen's movements will be lighter at night."

"Okay... okay."

The woman walked inside, and the sound of leather shoes hitting the stairs made Chen Jia suddenly realize, why am I panicking?I'm renting a house upright, I'm embarrassed and guilty, what the hell?

Looking at the back of the woman leaving, I felt like I had seen a ghost.

How could it be such a coincidence?Actually in the same room with her?
After eating, wash the pots and pans, it is already dark.The woman upstairs didn't know whether she was hungry or not, so she never came downstairs again.

Hiccupping, Chen Jia lay on the bed contentedly rubbing her stomach.Having nothing to do, he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he sat up, took out his bag from the cabinet, and put the contents on the bed one by one.

The ten gold bars, illuminated by the bright tungsten bulbs, gave off a more charming golden yellow.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to stroke them one by one, feeling much more at ease.It's not a dream, it's really ten golden bars.

But where?Can't keep it in the cabinet all the time?

Chen Jia looked around the room, but couldn't find a place where the gold bars were hidden, which made him scratch his head a little.

Is it possible to carry it on your back all day?

Banknotes are also a headache. These colorful banknotes are not a good thing, and they may depreciate tomorrow.

Also, what about the mobile phone, charger, ID card, and driver's license?Don't let people see it, it will make a big fuss, and you might be arrested to do human body research.

After much deliberation, I didn't come up with a good idea, so I simply put the things back in the bag and stuffed them back into the cabinet to finish.

Before dawn, he heard the rustling of getting up upstairs, and then the sound of people walking.

Chen Jia habitually raised his hand to look at his watch, but he saw a lonely look, and saw nothing except the black outline of his arm.

Come on, it seems that I have to buy a watch, I can't estimate the time by the weather, can I?
When Chen Jia came out to wash, the neighbor happened to come out from the kitchen.

A light blue silk embroidered pajamas set off her beautiful face, simply.How do you say it in one word?Orchid in the empty valley!

Chen Jia smiled flatteringly at the woman, "Good morning."

The woman didn't look at him at all, as if he was air, or a piece of wood.

Floating past Chen Jia, he went upstairs with a thud, leaving behind a faint fragrance that lingered for a long time.

Chen Jia didn't care either, beauties are all of the same virtue.In the school in the previous life, among the female students in the college next door, if there was any kind of beauty, none of them had their nostrils upturned.

After washing up, Chen Jia was about to go out when he heard the sound of going downstairs outside, and then he went out and gradually walked away.

For some reason, Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

After going out, the road was already extremely lively, with cars coming and going, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry.

Chen Jia bought a pair of flatbread fried dough sticks, and gnawed on them while walking.

After spending the whole morning buying a few changes of clothes, a pair of single-layer leather shoes, a small wooden box, a few newspapers, and other messy things, I leisurely returned home.

When I got home, I took a shower in cold water, changed all the clothes inside and out, and felt refreshed all over.

He picked up the changed clothes and smelled them. Fortunately, the smell of sweat was stronger.

After washing the clothes and wiping the furniture again, I was sweating again.After taking a break, drank a glass of cold water, and closed all the doors again.

Gold and mobile phones were wrapped in cloth and placed in boxes, ready to be buried in the bedroom.The best place is under the closet. Because of the structural problems of the room, there is really no other place for the closet to be placed besides this position.

Fortunately, the first floor of the old-fashioned house is paved with bricks. After removing the closet, some bricks were lifted up, and the soil was dug up with a flower planting shovel. After the box was buried, the bricks were restored one by one.

Chen Jia was originally an extremely careful person, so the position of the brick was exactly the same as before, and the height was also observed, trying to keep it as it was.dust on the bricks
Then I went to wash my hands, and then reset the big wardrobe.

After careful inspection, no problems were found, and I wiped it again with a rag, and then whistled and took a basin full of soil, scattered it into the flower bed next to the courtyard wall, and sprinkled it several times water.

After doing all this, it is estimated that noon has passed.

In the afternoon, I went to the watch shop and bought a second-hand watch. The condition is not bad, and the main price is cheap, 37 yuan.I also looked at the price of Tissot watches. The cheapest one was only 300 yuan, and the expensive one was [-] to [-] yuan.

Forget it, depending on the time, this second-hand one is a German product. Although I have never seen this brand, it seems that the quality is still acceptable.

Next to the watch shop is a noodle shop. I ordered Yangchun noodles and read the newspaper while eating. There were a lot of job recruitment information on it.

Momojiji ate a good meal, but I didn't see anything suitable for me, so I couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.

It was difficult to find a job in the previous life, so is it also difficult to find a job in this life?
I bought a dozen copies of messy newspapers in one go and took them home, and studied them slowly, and I could always find a suitable job.

In the afternoon, the woman came home on time, this time she actually came home with a vegetable basket.

Chen Jia still greeted warmly, and the woman gave him the back of the head after putting down the basket.

Damn, that's so rude.

Chen Jia felt a little angry, what are you dragging?I don’t want to see too many beauties in my previous life, let’s just say that there are a few who are prettier than you on the road outside, okay?

Just when she was about to light a fire for cooking, the woman had already changed into a set of clothes and came down, carrying the stove to the yard to light a fire. This move completely stupefied Chen Jia, and she forgot to put down the kitchen knife in her hand.

She used the stove, what should she do?Wait until she finishes cooking?Don't it get dark then?
Forget it, don't bother with her, I'll cook it after she finishes cooking, anyway, it's fine at night.

By the time Chen Jia finished eating, it was already eight o'clock at night.In the previous life, the meal time was normal, but now it was too late.

Having nothing to say all night, Chen Jia deliberately got up a little later in the morning, and after the woman had left, she stretched her waist and went to the dining hall, and saw a note on the dining table at a glance.

"The cost of briquettes is one and a half per person, one yuan and two. The electricity fee is one and a half, one yuan and seven. The water fee is half and one yuan per person. Please use your own seasoning, three cents."

The handwriting is quite beautiful, this content is really... stingy, you can actually find out that I used her seasoning, what eyes? !

No, I've only been here for a few days?How come the water, electricity and gas bills are half of each person?
Why?Just because you are prettier than me?

　Ask for a recommendation ticket!Your encouragement is the driving force for me to move forward.
