Era: The boss of the end of the world is reborn with material space

Chapter 18 Difficulties in transitioning from luxury to frugality

"Okay!" Zhou Jun's eyes lit up with happiness. Doesn't this mean that Luo Ya has begun to accept him? He felt happy just thinking about it.

Luo Ya looked at Zhou Jun's stupid smile and was stunned for a moment. She actually thought that someone would be so happy because of a word from her.

Then he shook his head. It seemed that comfort really could make people feel restless. It had only been a short time.

But then I came to terms with it. Times have changed. It’s no longer the era where people would kill for half a potato.

"Do you think we should go pick some grass?" Li Dongcao asked Wang Ling quietly.

I heard that the Zhou army is in very good condition. It is hard to find them even in the city. If Luo Ya can catch them, she can escape from her hard life.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If we leave them two in the house, even if nothing happens, someone with ulterior motives will spread the news. There are more than one person in this village eyeing this piece of fat meat, Zhou Jun." Wang Ling patted Li Dongcao lightly.

"Then let's go in quickly." Li Dongcao heard this and went straight into the house without saying a word.

Luo Ya and Zhou Jun had already started setting up the stove inside.

Seeing where the big guy Zhou Jun was going, Luo Ya looked petite and lovely against the backdrop, a perfect match of beauty and the beast.

Zhou Jun never let Luo Ya take any action. It was Luo Ya who made the remarks. Although Zhou Jun acted clumsily, he could hit whatever he was told to do.

Wang Ling and Li Dongcao were breaking straw stalks and mixing mud.

The four of them cooperated extremely well.

Sun Yaowu and Yang Dongjun came back and joined in building the stove.

The small outer room suddenly seemed very crowded. Li Dongcao and Wang Ling were squeezed out and looked inside through the door frame.

Luo Ya stood in front of the two men and directed the three to work.

"It seems that I am more capable." Wang Ling looked at the scene with a hint of pride in her tone.

"Why?" Li Dongcao asked in confusion. Isn't Luo Ya more powerful?

"Look at so many educated youth, who is as smart as me? I can tell at first sight that Luo Ya is an excellent one." Wang Ling held her head high, her face full of pride.

"Everyone knows that you just think Luo Ya is pretty. Don't think I don't know that you always look at Luo Ya secretly." Li Dongcao couldn't help it. It was a good thing that Wang Ling was not a man, otherwise he would have thought that Wang Ling liked Luo Ya.

Before Li Dongcao finished his words, he saw Zhou Jun, who was working hard over there, suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Ling with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Comrade Zhou, don't, don't listen to Li Dongcao's nonsense." Wang Ling suddenly felt as if her fate was being strangled by the back of her neck, and she stuttered when she spoke.

"Zhou Jun, the mud on your hands is about to fall off." Luo Ya stepped forward to block Zhou Jun's sight.

"Hey!" As soon as Zhou Jun saw Luo Ya, the ferocity in his eyes immediately turned into dog eyes, and he turned back happily to build the stove.

"Luo Ya, did you see that? The speed of his face changing is so fast that even the shows in Sichuan are not as fast as his." Wang Ling whispered to Luo Ya.

Luo Ya couldn't help laughing out loud.

After hearing this, Zhou Jun turned back.

Wang Ling hid herself behind Luo Ya, but was accidentally bumped by Li Dongcao, and her head hit Luo Ya's back, causing Luo Ya to take a step forward.

"Be careful." Zhou Jun originally wanted to glare at Wang Ling, but Wang Ling was blocked by Luo Ya. When he met Luo Ya's eyes, his eyes softened again.

"Zhou Jun, what are you looking at?" Sun Yaowu turned around and looked in the direction Zhou Jun was looking, but he didn't see anything and asked in confusion.

Yang Dongjun: "..." How could this silly kid be so stupid? He wanted to pull the person back, but when he saw the mud on his hands, he didn't do it.

"Sun Yaowu, come over and hold the straw." Yang Dongjun finally decided to rescue the silly boy. "Oh." Sun Yaowu immediately responded.

Zhou Jun also turned around and continued to work.

The stove was not big to begin with, and it was even more difficult for three boys to work on it. When they were almost done, Luo Ya and the other two washed the basins and fetched water for the three of them.

"Come here and wash your hands." Luo Ya said to several people.

"Luo Ya, I can wash myself. Why are you still carrying water for me?" When Zhou Jun heard that Luo Ya was going to get him water to wash his hands, he walked a little unsteadily for a moment.

I wondered if Luo Ya was interested in me, otherwise why would she get water for me.

Luo Yake didn't notice Zhou Jun's consciousness. He put the basin aside and went to look at the stove. Although it was built a little roughly, it didn't seem to have any major problems.

Over there, Wang Ling and Li Dongcao also put down basins of water.

Zhou Jun: "..." So I didn't have it alone. Then he saw Yang Dongjun and the other person washing their hands with the water brought by Wang Ling and the other person.

Who cares? This basin was made by Luo Ya anyway. Luo Ya made it specially for me. She said this and started washing her hands happily.

After washing the mud off his hands, Yang Dongjun took Sun Yaowu to clean up the outer room.

There is still some yellow mud and straw left, which will be just enough for use tomorrow.

"Thank you." Luo Ya and the other two hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"I wanted to do the same, but I couldn't wash as fast as them." Zhou Jun glanced at Yang Dongjun and thought to himself, you are the only one who can do it.

Yang Dongjun: "..."

"It's time for dinner. We're leaving first. Luo Ya, if we don't know the answer tomorrow, we'll come and ask you again." Yang Dongjun didn't want to stay here any longer. He was really afraid that if he stayed any longer, Zhou Jun would stab him to death with his eyes.

"You've already taken it once. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll help you tomorrow." Zhou Jun looked at Yang Dongjun with impatience.

It was obvious that this kid wanted to take the opportunity to get along with Luo Ya.

Yang Dongjun: "..." Could it be that you have no idea what's going on?

I'd like to ask you for help. If you help me, you can block my stove.

It was so tiring working with Zhou Jun this afternoon. In more than an hour, he looked back no less than thirty times. Whenever the girls over at Luo Ya's side talked, he turned his head away. Once he even accidentally knocked off a piece of the structure. And this was while working for Luo Ya. If he was working for himself... I couldn't imagine it.

"What's the matter? You're not happy working for you?" Zhou Jun stopped working immediately when he saw Yang Dongjun hesitated.

From childhood on, I have never been looked down upon when I offered to help others.

"No, no, thank you Zhou Jun, let's go eat first." Yang Dongjun didn't want to continue this unpleasant topic. Anyway, whatever he said would be wrong.

"Yes, let's go eat." Seeing the two people running faster than rabbits, Zhou Jun turned around and forced out a self-proclaimed kind smile to Luo Ya.

"Do you feel that Zhou Jun's smile is a bit weird?" Wang Ling whispered in Luo Ya's ear, then immediately pulled Li Dongcao out.

Luo Ya: "..."

"Let's go eat." Luo Ya nodded to Zhou Jun and followed him out.

Dinner was still corn porridge.

Looking at the corn porridge in front of me, the taste of the four-happiness meatballs and braised pork I had at noon suddenly came to my mind. No wonder they say it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After just one meal, I feel that this corn porridge is not so delicious.
