Chapter 232 I want to eat noodles
"Has I lost weight?"
Du Xiaodi subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face. Feng Xiaochen sat in front of her only half a meter away. Seeing her raised hand, he was stunned. He couldn't help but reach out and grabbed her wrist.
"What are you doing?" Du Xiaodi was shocked and wanted to shake Feng Xiaochen's hand away, but his arms suddenly became disobedient and could not use any strength. His face turned red with embarrassment.
“…”
Gao Liqian saw this scene next to him and quickly turned his face away, pretending to be studying the cuneiform text on the wall. Damn, I know that I am single and abroad, so I won’t bring such a dog abuser!
Feng Xiaochen didn't realize that there was something wrong with his movements. He turned his wrist and just made Du Xiaodi's hand fall into his palm. He stretched out his other hand and touched Du Xiaodi's back, then looked up at Du Xiaodi and asked, "Why is your hand so rough? What happened?"
"Let go!" Du Xiaodi said viciously in a low voice. Seeing that Feng Xiaochen did not respond, she changed to a pleading tone and said in a low voice: "Can you let go? Let go, I will tell you."
Feng Xiaochen only realized that his actions seemed a bit abrupt. Now it is not as good as the 21st century. In the new century, it is nothing for men and women to strike each other. Some girls at the unit will reach out and ask Director Feng to help see palmistry and other things, and then flirt with this suave director. Nowadays, if you pull the girl's hand for no reason, you will be paraded by signs. Thinking of this, he let go of Du Xiaodi's hand and said silly: "Uh, sorry, I...I don't mean anything else, just... care will be messed up."
In fact, it is no wonder that Feng Xiaochen was surprised. A year ago, when he and Du Xiaodi first met, they also paid attention to her hands. As a welder, Du Xiaodi had calluses on his palms, but the back of his hands was smooth and round, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as "skin like cream". Just now, Feng Xiaochen saw a rough and skinny hand, like a farmer who worked in the field all year round. How could this not surprise and feel distressed about Feng Xiaochen?
"I'm not alone..." Du Xiaodi's heart was beating, and she lowered her head, covering the back of the hand with her other hand, not wanting Feng Xiaochen to see it. Then she thought, the back of the hand also had some old skin, and it was still a little uncomfortable when it fell into Feng Xiaochen's eyes, so she simply turned her hand behind her, as if hiding something. She didn't think Feng Xiaochen's actions just now were offended. On the contrary, she was deeply moved by Feng Xiaochen's words "Care is chaos".
Care is confusing... It turns out that he has always cared about me?
"He is a worker, his hands are thick... not like you are a cadre, with fine skin and tender flesh." Du Xiaodi muttered.
Gao Liqian is not good at pretending to be blind anymore. He pretends to be too much and seems deliberate. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I actually think that after coming to Japan, my skin has become a little rough. Maybe it's because I am not suitable for the local environment."
Du Xiaodi's skin worsens due to many reasons, such as unacceptable environment and poor diet, and these are all taboos in skin care. She understands this herself and is sometimes anxious, but because no one here cares about her skin, she lets it go. Now that Feng Xiaochen has seen this change, she is both embarrassed and worried. What is worried about is naturally because this boy will look down on her because of this.
"I don't know you'll come to Japan. If you ask you to bring me two boxes of clam oil, I'll use up all the things I brought." Du Xiaodi found a reason for himself, and at the same time he had nothing to say.
"Haha, no need."
Feng Xiaochen also came to his senses from the shock just now. He said in front of a girl that he had bad skin, which was quite taboo. Director Feng’s emotional intelligence is not too high, but he still has a little bit. When he heard Du Xiaodi talk about clam oil, he turned his hand and brought the bag of skin care products specially bought for Du Xiaodi from behind, and said with a smile: “Look, do I know that you have used up your clam oil. Wouldn’t you be sent to you?”
"Shiseido!" Du Xiaodi looked at the exquisite paper bag in front of her in surprise and shouted. Although she had been devoted to learning technology after she arrived in Japan, she still took the time to enter the city of Osaka several times and visited the skin care store. Girls have always had the talent to learn without a teacher in skin care, so as soon as Feng Xiaochen took out the bag, she knew what it was, and could even recall the long string of yen numbers on the price tag she had seen.
"I gave it to you, do you like it?" Feng Xiaochen handed over the bag and said.
"Give it to me?" Du Xiaodi's reaction was exactly the same as Gao Liqian. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "This is not possible, I don't want it!"
"You just accept it, just treat it as...well, labor protection supplies." Feng Xiaochen said.
"Labor protection supplies?" Du Xiaodi burst out laughing, and at the same time reached out to take the paper bag. Feng Xiaochen had already stuffed the paper bag into her arms. If she didn't continue, Feng Xiaochen's hand would continue to reach out...
"Oh, this is Shiseido's latest model in 1982. One set seems to cost more than 400 yuan. If labor protection supplies are all sent out like this, our factory will have to be poor." Du Xiaodi looked through the paper bag, and took out a hose or small glass bottle from time to time to play with, looking happy. Although she had not decided whether to accept this set of skin care products, being able to take it to your hands and touch it is also a pleasure.
"This has nothing to do with your factory. We sent it to you by reinstalling it." Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.
"So beautiful. However, Director Feng, I really can't accept it. This is too expensive." Du Xiaodi said, looking like he wanted to return the paper bag to Feng Xiaochen.
"Old Gao, please explain the policy to Xiao Du." Feng Xiaochen did not answer and turned to Gao Liqian and said.
Gao Liqian smiled bitterly, "Oh, I'm short with someone. Feng Xiaochen gave him one before, just waiting for him to help him. Is this considered as an accomplice for Director Feng? Well, I can't say that, Director Feng is a good person, young and promising, has a good personality, and a good character. The junior sister who can get along with him should not be considered a fire pit, right?"
Gao Liqian was fighting with the gods in his heart and said, "Xiao Du, Director Feng is full of thought, you can accept it. To be honest, Director Feng also gave me a set to my wife. He said we have worked hard in Japan, and he came to comfort us in his personal name."
"So my sister-in-law also has one? Then... I'll accept it, thank you Director Feng."
Du Xiaodi happily accepted the gift with a long tone.
A set of high-end skin care products is absolutely lethal for a working girl, not to mention that this comes from a boy who has a good impression of her. Du Xiaodi previously refused, but thought the things were too expensive, and the relationship between the two was not at this level. Now that I heard that Gao Liqian also accepted one, she was not under psychological pressure. Director Feng is right, as for labor protection supplies, there was also clam oil in the factory in the past.
"Let's go, I'll treat you two to a simple meal. You won't refuse, right?" Feng Xiaochen gave the gift, was happy, and stood up and invited.
"Or..." Gao Liqian also stood up. He looked at Du Xiaodi, thinking that it must be the two of them who invited Feng Xiaochen to a meal. When they were at the mouth, they still didn't say it. A meal in Japan was so expensive. A bowl of noodles costs 700 yen, which is 566 yuan. If they want to invite Feng Xiaochen to a decent meal, they had to spend a month's living expenses.
"Don't be polite to me, I should treat you." Feng Xiaochen said.
"Well, okay." Du Xiaodi said, "Senior brother, Director Feng, you guys will go first, I'll change my clothes."
Du Xiaodi changed into a beautiful dress under the box and walked out of the B&B with Feng Xiaochen and Gao Liqian. Feng Xiaochen looked around and asked, "By the way, where do you usually eat?"
Du Xiaodi said: "It was arranged by the company, and it was made by the aunt from the homestay for us."
"Is the company paying the money?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"No, it's the living expenses given by the Ministry of Machinery." Gao Liqian said, "It's 20,000 yen per month, which is 150 yuan per yuan."
"Only 20,000 yen a month?" Feng Xiaochen said in surprise. The living expenses of 150 yuan are of course extremely luxurious in China, but in this place in Japan, I'm afraid even having enough food. A bowl of noodles on the street is 700 yen, and 20,000 yen is equivalent to 30 bowls of noodles. Feng Xiaochen has seen noodles on the street in Japan. With his appetite, he must have at least two bowls of food to eat. So how did Du Xiaodi, Gao Liqian and others live?
"The prices in Japan are too expensive." Du Xiaodi said with his head down, "Actually, the aunt at the B&B is very nice to us. She cooks rice balls for us every day, and sometimes she also puts some meat floss, plums, etc., which tastes very good."
"Don't you have any food?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"Actually, the Japanese are very cheap to eat." Du Xiaodi answered the question irrelevantly, but it confirmed Feng Xiaochen's guess.
"No wonder." Feng Xiaochen knew it. Every day, two rice balls, some meat floss, black plums, etc., and probably some soy sauce will be used to season. This kind of meal is quite fresh after eating it for one or two times. It would be strange if you don't lose weight after three months. I just saw that Du Xiaodi's hands were thick like old tree bark, which is actually related to food. This is a typical vitamin deficiency.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a big meal. Today I'll let you get back all the three-month deficit!" Feng Xiaochen said generously, "What do you want to eat, sushi, tempura, salmon sashimi, just say it!"
Du Xiaodi hesitated for a moment, stamped her feet as if she had made up her mind, and said fiercely:
"I...I want to eat noodles!"
