Chapter 114: Handsome Men
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the room full of coconuts and felt like she had no idea where to put her feet. Even Fu Qi was already kneeling on the bed.
"Sister Jiaojiao, didn't you buy too much?"
"Um...it seems like there are indeed a few hundred million."
When they first came back, Fu Qi used a hemp rope to secure the clothes on top. Now it was almost done, and he really wanted to change into a comfortable and cool short-sleeved shirt.
Now that the boat had sailed, she sat on the floor and put the coconuts one by one into the bedside cabinet.
Finally, there was only a bamboo basket of coconuts left outside. She picked up the machete from the basket. She took it out of her backpack. She brought it from home and it looked a bit old.
If Fu Qi wanted to ask her something, she could easily cover it up. As for the iron spoon, she just handed him one. However, he did not ask any more questions but looked at the coconut in her hand expectantly. He wanted to taste what it tasted like.
Instead of dealing with the coconut husk in the house, she took a coconut and went to the trash can in the hallway to peel it.
After finding the technique, she started peeling the coconut quickly, took the peeled coconut back into the house, and knocked open the top shell in front of him.
"You can drink this directly from your mouth, and then use a spoon to scrape out the coconut meat to eat."
"Okay, Sister Jiaojiao, you drink first."
"Take it and drink it. I'll take care of this basket first and come back later."
He carefully took it and looked at the clear water in the coconut mouth. Curious about how the water got in, he held it to his lips and tasted it.
"Sister Jiaojiao, try it too! It's delicious!"
As soon as she put the bamboo basket on her back, he put the coconut to her mouth and looked at her with joy and expectation.
She took a sip and pretended to be surprised, "Wow, it's really delicious! Fu Qi, drink more."
"Ok!"
But it really tastes good. I haven’t had coconut water for a long time. I really miss the days when I was on vacation at the beach.
Look at her now, she is squatting next to the trash can and chopping coconut shells. What a reversal.
"Boss Lin, your machete is pretty good! Can you lend it to me after you use it?"
Boss Zhang from the room next to Lin Jiaojiao came out to use the toilet and saw her squatting there processing a coconut skillfully. He remembered that she had to use a knife to chop the head off with great effort.
"Okay, I'll lend it to you when I'm done."
"Okay, thank you Boss Lin. I'm going to go to the toilet first and will be back later."
Halfway through the process, Boss Zhang came back and went straight into the room to pull her basket over.
"Boss Lin, I really envy you. You have a handsome man by your side every day. It makes me want to bring a male companion with me next time."
"Um... that's my husband, not some male lover. Boss Zhang, please be careful with your words."
Boss Zhang looked unconvinced, but still pretended to apologize: "Look at my mouth, I'm really sorry, Boss Lin, your husband is very brave, he dares to go out to sea with you, but it's too difficult to do business with your husband."
Lin Jiaojiao quickened her movements. She didn't even want to lend her the machete. She just laughed and ignored her.
Boss Zhang saw that she ignored him, so he stood behind her and rolled his eyes at her. He really didn't know what she was so proud of. She didn't come out to interact with them normally, and she was hanging out with men every day.
And they were not doing that. When she first learned that there was a man in the room next to her, she would lean against the wall from time to time at night to listen for any noise, but she heard nothing. She seriously suspected that this man was all show and no substance.
Just as Boss Zhang was looking at the person in front of him with suspicion, Lin Jiaojiao finally finished processing the fifteen coconuts in the bamboo basket.
"Boss Zhang, give it to me. When you are done with it, just knock on the door and leave it at the door."
"Okay, thank you."
Because she didn't have the heavy coconut husk, she just carried the bamboo basket into the room.
She returned to the room and placed the bamboo basket under the table. She took out a peeled coconut from it, but found it was difficult to open without a machete. However, she was too lazy to go find Boss Zhang again, so she just picked up the knife and stabbed it in hard.
Fortunately, she was strong enough that it split after two pokes. She cut directly along the crack. Fu Qi quickly handed her another spoon, but she drank it all in one gulp. She had been busy for a while and was already very hot.
This coconut water is really refreshing to drink!
Then she took the spoon and pushed it directly between the coconut meat and the coconut shell, and she got out a whole piece of coconut meat.
"Amazing! I scooped this meat into pits and holes. Sister Jiaojiao, teach me."
She ate the coconut meat in one bite, then picked up his coconut shell and spoon to demonstrate to him. Seeing his surprised look on his face, she took the coconut shell and tried to do it himself.
"It's really much easier this way."
...
Fu's house in Nanshan City.
Fu Ling was kneeling on the floor in the study. Fu's father had fainted when he heard the news. Now only Fu's mother was anxious.
"Ling'er, Ling'er! Is this how you take care of your brother? You didn't even know he hadn't been seen for so long? Mother didn't agree to let you go out to sea because she was afraid that something might happen to you at sea! But you just left your brother at sea! Losing your innocence is a small matter, but if something happens, how will you let your father live!"
Fu Ling clenched her fists. That day she received a reply saying that the person was indeed on the boat and was being protected by Lin Jiaojiao. Her tense nerves finally relaxed a little. However, the boat would not return for about two months, so she had to let Tongfu pretend to be Fu Qi and return to the mansion.
After returning home, she asked everyone to leave and told her mother and father what had happened. Father Fu fainted on the spot, and she was called to the study by Mother Fu and severely reprimanded.
But it was too late to say anything now. They could only ask Lin Jiaojiao to protect him well and come back safely as soon as possible.
Fu's mother sat on a chair and rubbed her aching temples. After thinking it over again and again, she picked up the pen and prepared to write a letter to the Jiang Mansion in Qingzhou. It was impossible for her younger brother and sister-in-law to ignore Xiaoqiu.
Lin Family Village.
Lin Yizhi was making cakes in the bakery. He didn't know if his work was successful, but everyone thought they were delicious. The taste was completely different from bread.
It would be great if my wife was here, she could point out any problems right away. Now they can only figure these things out slowly.
He also made a friend, Qiu Xilan's husband, Song Jiajia.
Song Jiajia was assigned to the maltose factory, where his main job was to plant wheat and water it every day, which was easy work. Song Jiajia failed the first interview and the second one, but Lin Dadan finally assigned him this job because he was so persistent.
Thinking back to when he was told he could come to work, he burst into tears of joy and hugged Qiu Xilan.
When they are free, they will chat together, and of course the topic is about how good and smart their wives are...
He missed his wife so much, and wondered if everything was going well for her.
