The Soul Reborn
16. Beware a little



After eating, bathing and cleaning, Zhu Haimei then lay comfortably on the bed. He started counting his money and sighed when he found out that the result of his hard work over these few days was only 20 yuan left. This is the same as he made 3-4 yuan in a day from selling for several days. Making money is really hard. Uh, but actually he's a little skinny. The fat in his stomach had already reduced a lot.


Zhu Haimei then jumped down from the bed to grab a mirror and saw his reflection in the mirror. Why is it that the more he looks, the more he feels that he is getting thinner? Maybe it is also because of the psychological role that wants to be skinny quickly. When he bought rice, he weighed 77.5 kilograms. When viewed from his height, Zhu Haimei had to lose weight until he reached 50 kilograms. "God, when can I lose 25 pounds?" He asked with a bitter smile.


The days after that were still passed by Zhu Haimei busily like before. If tomorrow there was a 'market day' in the village, Zhu Haimei would have free time and relax all afternoon, as there was no need to shop to the big market. And his spare time is usually spent sitting in a lounge chair that is on the edge of the well. He deliberately put the chair there, because it was very cool there. Zhu Haimei would usually sit back and relax while enjoying a cup of lotus leaf tea while reading the two novels he bought in an old bookstore. Sometimes he also enjoys his free time by practicing yoga, and stretching his muscles and bones. His life has become very comfortable.


Although the business was crowded every day, Zhu Haimei still provided three rice basins, eight side dishes and one large bucket of free soup as usual. With the total cost of making his food that remains at 15 to 20 yuan, Zhu Haimei usually earns a net profit of 20-30 yuan.


There were many people who were often disappointed when they arrived late and could not buy their food, but Zhu Haimei had no other choice because he could not afford to increase the portion of his merchandise. He also did not want to work too tired.


The thing that made him happy now was that his fat body was already a bit thin. His weight has now reached 70 kilograms and it makes the original owner's clothes start to loose when he wears. Zhu Haimei should try to maintain this well so that by next summer, she could wear a beautiful dress.


After eating and cleaning, Zhu Haimei rushed home with the large watermelon he had bought. He was very excited to go home, because his bed sheets needed to be washed, the bathroom in his house also needed to be cleaned. He had not seen his vegetable fields for a long time. Moreover, whenever he thought that in his savings he had collected two hundred yuan, he became very confident and excited. If Shen Dongguan would suddenly throw him out of the house, he would not have to fear not having a place to stay.


It's just, the weather is getting hotter and walking in hot weather like this is very tiring. Even though Zhu Haimei was already wearing a straw hat, his facial and body skin were still burning from the sunlight.


Arriving at the vegetable field, Zhu Haimei found that his vegetables grew very well. The small eggplants have been elongated, green peppers have also developed, and the little bok choy has also grown well. But when Zhu Haimei saw the weeds that also grew busier, he decided to pluck the weeds. After that, he will start harvesting bok choy as much as 1-2 kilograms. It would be nice if anyone sold shitake mushrooms here, so he could cook xianggu youcai (bok choy mustache and mushrooms). Unfortunately, here it is very difficult to get a shitake mushroom.


Arriving home, Zhu Haimei opened the door with a bok choy in his hand. How shocked he was to find out that Shen Dongyuan was at home.


"Have you come home?" Shen Dongyuan's.


"Why are you home today?" Zhu Haimei asked as he placed the bok choy in the kitchen. He then soaked the watermelon in cold water. Ever since the dinner party together that day, their relationship had really improved a lot. Shen Dongyuan no longer had any reason to pout at Zhu Haimei. Although they did not talk too much, but at least they did not fight.


"Hmm, I want lunch at home." Shen Dongyuan replied. Then Zhu Haimei remembered that when he came home last night, he had brought the food he had put in the kitchen. Shen Dongyuan didn't think that Zhu Haimei had deliberately given the food to her, did he? Forget it, it is better for me to be quiet than for the atmosphere to turn awkward, Zhu Haimei thought.


"This is for you." Suddenly Shen Dongyuan handed something over.


"What's this?" Zhu Haimei asked as he accepted Shen Dongyuan's gift. Zhu Haimei felt surprised after seeing the writing of the cloth coupon was shaped like this huh, Zhu Haimei thought. "How much?" Zhu Haimei asked who was about to spend the money.


Shen Dongyuan answered immediately. "You don't have to pay for it, it's free." Hearing Shen Dongyuan's words just now, Zhu Haimei thanked him as well. She did not care where Shen Dongyuan got her from, after all Shen Dongyuan was her husband.


When Shen Dongyuan picked up his clothes for wanting to go outside, he suddenly heard Zhu Haimei's cheerful voice asking if he had dirty clothes that needed to be washed. Shen Dongyuan was silent for a moment when he saw the smiling face of Zhu Haimei. Lately the woman's weight is reduced very much, although her face still looks fat, but her cheeks already look a little more tapered.


Zhu Haimei was afraid that Shen Dongyuan would become misunderstood because the man had been silent for quite a long time. "I have no other intention, I just want to return the favor." Zhu Haimei.


He even knew how to use this word 'reply', Shen Dongyuan thought. He replied, "Nothing, next time. I'll go first." But Zhu Haimei said again, "If there's another coupon, can you get it for me?" Shen Dongyuan turned her body in surprise. "What do you still need coupons for?" Ask. "Coupons to buy bicycles, televisions and so on."


Hearing that, Shen Dongyuan's face turned sinister.


"My salary for a month wasn't enough to buy stuff like that." Zhu Haimei then sighed deeply. He thought their relationship could progress a bit, but it turned out that in Shen Dongyuan's mind, Zhu Haimei was still the same as before. "Just calm down, I'll use my own money."


"That's not what I mean." Shen Dongyuan replied in an angry tone then went out. Zhu Haimei shouted from inside the house. "Eat night at home, there's watermelon." But no answer was heard.


The incident just now did not affect Zhu Haimei's good mood at all. After all, he did not care whether Shen Dongyuan replied to him or not, the important thing was that he had already thanked him. With this coupon, he could finally buy cloth to make clothes. And at the thought of that, he almost jumped in excitement.


While washing clothes, Shen Dongyuan went home again. But the man immediately turned his face away when he saw Zhu Haimei wearing only a sleeveless inner t-shirt with two white wings on it. Shen Dongyuan then said, "Wu Tianlei said tonight that he would invite us to eat. He told us to go there together, so don't cook for tonight."


Zhu Haimei who did not feel the slightest embarrassment then replied. "What do I have to bring there?"


"No need to bring anything. How about you go over there to help them prepare some food?" Shen Dongyuan's Advice.


"All right." Zhu Haimei replied. "What if I take the pitcher there?" Its effects.


Shen Dongyuan agreed to it and said goodbye, but before exiting the door he again said, "Although at home, you should be careful a little."


Zhu Haimei was puzzled by Shen Dongyuan's words just now. What to look out for at home? After thinking for a long time, he only understood that what Shen Dongyuan meant was about the inner t-shirt he was wearing. Really outdated. It's very hot in the house, and there's no fan here. If not wearing this, his skin will get rashes due to sweat.


When was there an electric fan in the house? Thought Zhu Haimei. Although he had money, but he did not have the courage to open his savings. He still has to save more.
