Chapter 383: Arrange, Arrange
The next day, Bai Youwei slept until the sun was high in the sky, finally waking up completely rested and full.
Teacher Chang was preparing lunch.
Without a gas stove, it was inconvenient to cook, so Teacher Chang always started preparing way ahead of time.
Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin were helping out on the side.
Though sometimes their help created more work.
The morning was quiet and relaxed. Bai Youwei brushed her teeth while watching them busily prepare food. She felt like she was forgetting something.
Had she forgotten about Shen Mo? …Probably not, he had told her he was going to visit his father before he left.
What else could it be then?
Bai Youwei continued to ponder.
“Ah!” she remembered, “Let’s have steak for lunch!”
Tan Xiao, Chang Weicai, and Pan Xiaoxin all looked at her, completely baffled.
Bai Youwei took out a golden key, opened the door of the dollhouse, and said excitedly, “Since you are all here, after having the steak, you can help me tidy up the house.”
As the dollhouse door swung open, a dazzling brilliance of gold blazed from within!
All three of them were stupefied.
Tan Xiao was amazed and cried out, “Oh my god! Weiwei, did you get another set of houses?! Is this a reward from a new game?”
“No.” Bai Youwei walked in with her crutch, waving at them from amidst heaps of gold and silver jewelry, “Come in quick, let’s talk inside.”
Exchanging glances, the three of them “squeezed” into the dollhouse
It was indeed crammed. The entire first floor could barely accommodate any people, the floor being covered with gold, silver, jewelry, and fancy clothes. There were at least seventy or eighty hats alone! Studded with gems, covered in fur, adorned with silk flowers, all sorts of hats!
Some exquisite and expensive tableware were haphazardly placed underneath everything, they were in danger of stepping on them and breaking them. Teacher Chang was quite distressed over it.
“If it doesn’t fit in the house, just throw it outside.” Bai Youwei seemed indifferent, she muscled her way through to the fridge, pushed aside the hefty golden bars nearby, and finally managed to open the fridge door——
She took out a few pieces of steak.
The steaks were already cooked, perfectly medium-rare. Although they had lost some of their fresh taste after being frozen, having steak now was a luxury in itself.
“Teacher Chang” Bai Youwei called to Chang Weicai, “Can you take a look at the fridge? If there’s any expired food, throw it out! Keep whatever we can eat! We’re having steak for lunch!”
“Xiaoxin You’re in charge of putting all clothes on the second floor in the wardrobe. If the wardrobe gets full, just stuff them in the study! It’s not like we’re using it much right now!”
“Tan Xiao~~ Your job is to put all the weapons in the storage room. Pile the gold and silver jewelry in the yard! It’s too much in the way piled up here!”
After a round of instructions, everyone was clear on what to do.
Tan Xiao’s task was the heaviest and required the most strength. After hauling several loads of gold, he couldn’t help but ask:
“Weiwei, if you aren’t going to use these things, why did you move them into the dollhouse?”
“It’s nice to look at, don’t you think it’s pleasing to the eye to see a mountain of gold and silver when you open the window?” Bai Youwei said indifferently, “Besides, it’s not bad to use it to hit someone when you don’t have a weapon on hand.”
Tan Xiao weighed the gold bar in his hand and nodded, “You’re right!”
Then he continued moving the gold.
…Only Bai Youwei wasn’t busy.
Once the house had been cleaned up and Teacher Chang heated up the steaks, Bai Youwei opened the door to check outside, but Shen Mo was still gone.
It wasn’t surprising; a father and son meeting would definitely include a meal together.
At the lunch table, Teacher Chang gently cleared his throat and hesitantly said, “Weiwei…”
“Hm?” Bai Youwei was eating her steak.
Teacher Chang said, “On this journey, Xiaoshen has helped us a lot. I heard his father isn’t feeling well recently. Should we… pay him a visit?”
