Chapter 193

"It's the first day you work as a free laborer for me. I have to try your skills." Tao Chen was helping me. He was familiar with Sheng Xiao's cooking skills. He learned a lot of dishes from Aunt He when he was impressed by the emperor.

Within an hour, there were several home-cooked dishes on the table.

Sweet and sour short ribs, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, tomato scrambled eggs, crucian carp and yam soup, and a New Orleans grilled wing, just heat it in the microwave.

"You're done." Mo Shengxiao took off her bib, and Tao Chen put the prepared meal in front of her.

"I won't eat, I have something to do when I go back." Sheng Xiao declined.

"What else can you do so late? My boss will take care of the babysitter's meals." He pressed Sheng Xiao's shoulder and let her sit down.Mo Shengxiao looked at Tao Chen, "Teacher Tao, you are quite good at joking."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the man's face seemed to be stiff, and Mo Shengxiao hurriedly fell silent. She always called him by his name every time she met, just because she didn't want Tao Chen to be trapped in the memory of the time spent in Hua'er, "I'm sorry."

"You're right to call me that. I'm still a teacher now, but I teach kindergarten." Tao Chen put the ribs into the Shengxiao bowl, showing a rare sense of disappointment in his tone. Seeing that Mo Shengxiao's expression darkened, he hurriedly He smiled, "However, you should still call me by my name in the future. I think my name sounds nice."

"En." Sheng Xiao nodded heavily.

Mo Shengxiao almost forgot how long she hadn't had a good dinner. Ever since Xiangsi's accident, she had trouble sleeping and eating. She left Baisha City and came to Linshui Town. She lived on a pack of instant noodles every night. His appetite was so good that he ate a whole bowl of rice.

After dinner, she cleaned up the kitchen and covered the unfinished meals with a table cover. Tao Chen asked Sheng Xiao to sit on the sofa in the living room, "Sheng Xiao, will you go back to Baisha City during the Chinese New Year?"

Mo Shengxiao shook his head, "No."

"That's just right, how about we go buy new year's goods when you are on holiday? My parents will also come over, or you can live here, everyone has fun and lively."

Sheng Xiao didn't even want to refuse, "No."

"Why? Since you won't go back to Baisha City, there will be no one around during the New Year's Eve."

"I..." Mo Shengxiao didn't want to trouble Tao Chen, besides, she still couldn't adapt to the lively environment, so she made up a lie, "My sister will come, we agreed."

Tao Chen said softly, with a disappointed expression on his face, "Okay then, but can you go to the shopping mall with me when you have time? My parents will come over on New Year's Eve. I have some things to prepare, and I'm worried about being in a hurry."

Mo Shengxiao nodded, "Okay, I'll go shopping with you."

The two sat for a while, and Sheng Xiao stood up to leave.

Tao Chen sent her all the way to the stairs, Mo Shengxiao raised her face lightly, "Good night."

"Shengxiao." Tao Chen called her on the way to go upstairs. He took out something from his pocket, took Mo Shengxiao's hand, and put the thing in her hand into her when she didn't respond. wrist.She only felt a slight chill on her wrist, Tao Chen rolled up her sleeves, and when Sheng Xiao raised her hand, she saw that it was a watch, the wristband was wide enough to cover the scar on her wrist.

"It's for you." Tao Chen withdrew his hand, "This way, you don't have to deliberately buy clothes with long sleeves to cover it up."

Mo Shengxiao's heart suddenly had a source of heat, that kind of warm temperature carefully cared for her cold and thorough heart, she stared at the watch with ecstasy, and the color was white, which she liked, so that no one would suspect that she hid What appeared was a hideous wound.

"Tao Chen, thank you." Sheng Xiao's voice trembled a little, she raised the back of her hand to press against her sore nose.

"I'm tired after going out for a day, go back and rest."

Mo Shengxiao stood at the entrance of the corridor, the dim light was very dim, Tao Chen waved his hands away with her, Sheng Xiao stroked the watch with his left hand, and tightly clasped his five fingers.

Tao Chen had already seen that the sleeves of each of her clothes were very long to cover the wound.

Going to work on Monday, Mo Shengxiao received the first month's salary, 2000 yuan, and a 300 yuan Carrefour supermarket shopping voucher.

As the end of the new year approaches, colleagues always discuss how to spend the Spring Festival in their spare time. Some are old employees who have received year-end bonuses and plan to go on a trip with their families. Sheng Xiao quietly tidies up the desktop. She never participates in their discussions because They all have warm homes waiting to go back, but she doesn't.

On the first day of the holiday, Sheng Xiao woke up very early, but hid in bed and didn't want to get up.

She sleeps very little every day. She falls asleep after 12 o'clock and wakes up at 6 o'clock.

Mo Shengxiao promised Tao Chen to go shopping, she would get up to wash up after lying down, and when she went downstairs, she saw him standing at the entrance of the corridor, "When did you come?"

"I just arrived too." Tao Chen's hands were numb from the cold, his smile was a little stiff, Sheng Xiao put his hands in his pockets, "I'll give you my phone number, next time you need something, just call me."

"Okay." Tao Chen hastily took out his mobile phone and entered Sheng Xiao's number.

The past few days are the peak season for buying new year’s goods. Office workers are on holidays, and the discounts in shopping malls are very strong. People who come to shop squeeze in as if they don’t have to pay. After a short stroll, they feel chest tightness and shortness of breath No wonder the air is overloaded.

Tao Chen wanted to buy a down jacket for his parents, and Mo Shengxiao helped him choose, "How about this one? The color isn't too dark, and the elderly generally have bad waists. This one is mid-length and can cover the waist."

"It's not bad." Tao Chen walked over to take a closer look, and chose a piece with a size of 165 on the shelf. "Sheng Xiao, is there anything you want to buy?"

"I don't need it." Mo Shengxiao looked around, even if the discounted clothes were still several hundred, her salary had to be kept for the family, and besides, Mo Xiangsi, she still had to spend some money, "I bought it when I went to work. After a few sets."

Tao Chen came back after paying the payment, and when Sheng Xiao passed Only, he couldn't help but stamp his feet. Mo Shengxiao followed his line of sight, and saw a model standing at the door wearing a long camel-colored coat. The price was clearly marked, and the discount was 1600. Tao Chen wanted to go forward.

"Do you want to buy it for your girlfriend?"

"No, where did I get a girlfriend?" Tao Chen smiled slightly.

Mo Shengxiao avoided his gaze, and sensitively sensed that Tao Chen might want to buy something for her again, "Actually, a piece of clothing that is so expensive is not worth it, it costs nearly two thousand, and I guess I always think about how not to get it dirty. It, how tired it is."
