GTKAWF – Chapter 18.2

She only earns 20,000 yuan a month, she knows how to bargain (2)

The cold wind was blowing and the sky was gloomy, Sheng Qiao wrapped herself tightly in her jacket and went left when she went out. The filming crew followed them with four people.
Zhong Shen was shivering in the cold and asked her: “Do you know where they sell vegetables?”
“I saw it on the way here, it’s not far.”

The two started to walk faster to fight off the cold and soon arrived at a farmers’ market. At this hour, there were not that many people but when they saw the filming crew they all shouted. Sheng Qiao looked around and started to shop and bargain with her signature smile. For less than fifty yuan, she bought two large bags of various vegetables.
Meat was more expensive and Zhong Shen felt distressed: “Maybe we should just eat vegetarian and not buy meat.”
Sheng Qiao: “Xiaohan is still growing up, no matter how little money we have, we can’t let the kid suffer.” She shouted at the boss: “Two pounds of pork belly and two pounds of tenderloin, please.”

Lu Yihan’s fans were very satisfied.
[Thank you for thinking about our brother.]
[The child is still growing, I can’t bear to see him suffer either.]
[Sheng Qiao bargaining to buy vegetables looks like my mom.]
[Watching her bargaining skills, she’s an expert housekeeper!]
[After all, she only earns 20,000 a month.]
[hahahahaha, 20,000 a month, it’s so miserable.]
[Then I want to be miserable too! Twenty thousands a month! You say it’s miserable!]
[Of course it’s miserable for a star. Sheng Qiao’s clothes look really cheap.]
[When she unpacked I noticed her skin care products were all CHANDO.]
[What’s wrong with CHANDO? I also use it and it hydrates very well.]

Soon the barrage started exchanging their own hydrating lotions…

After buying the vegetables and the meat, Sheng Qiao and Zhong Shen bought rice, noodles and oil and spent less than the two hundred for everything.
The cleaning back at the house was still ongoing. Le Xiao was tired and her back was aching and when she saw Sheng Qiao and Zhong Shen come back, she suddenly felt unhappy. She should have gone shopping instead, the house was so big she felt exhausted.
She dropped her broom in a hurry and ran over to pick up the bags and put them in the fridge. As she put things away, she noticed three plastic pots and did not know what they were here for. She raised her head and asked: “Xiao Qiao, why did you buy these pots?”
“It was cheap, ten yuans for the threes I think…”
Before she could finish, Le Xiao interrupted her: “Even if it’s cheap, you can’t just spend money like that! We don’t have a big budget and you go buy useless things!”
Her tone was full of accusation and Zhong Shen got angry: “Why is it useless? There are so many plants outside, shouldn’t we transplant some inside to purify the air?”
Sheng Qiao tugged at his clothes and her warm voice softened the current mood: “It was only ten yuans which were saved bargaining for the vegetables. Everyone will spend time in the living room, it would be better to put some plants.”
Le Xiao accepted this explanation but she was still annoyed with Zhong Shen and said: “Why purify the air? It won’t be as effective as opening a window to ventilate.”
Zhong Shen sneered: “Then can we at least embellish the environment?  Don’t you think the house needs a little green? You look good but you don’t have any fun, ah!”
Le Xiao wanted to cry: “Zhong Shen! Why do you keep targeting me?”
Sheng Qiao pushed Zhong Shen away: “No, he praised you for your good looks.”
Le Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Sheng Qiao pushed Zhong Shen into the living room and lowered her voice: “It’s a live broadcast, can’t you be less aggressive? You are not allowed to talk to Le Xiao anymore!”
Now it was Zhong Shen’s turn to feel lament: “Qiao Qiao, you have changed, you weren’t like this before. You used to be so good to me, am I not your favorite person anymore?”
Sheng Qiao gave him a blank look and went into the kitchen.

Le Xiao had said she knew how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and Sheng Qiao had believed her. She had not thought she would just try to mix the eggs with tomatoes. Sheng Qiao stopped her and looked at Feng Wei who was standing next to her and sighed.
“Forget it, you all got out, I will do it.”
The Qiao family thrived on maintaining independence and she would cook for herself when she was studying abroad. Although the taste was not the best, it was good enough to fill her stomach.
She quickly served two meat and three vegetarian dishes and a soup. The group was screaming they were hungry but if the three boys had normal appetites, Le Xiao and Feng Wei did not eat much. Female artists paid attention to their weight and figure more than male celebrities. Sheng Qiao looked at her bowl and ate her rice silently.

After eating, Le Xiao said: “Chef Qiao, I will leave the cooking to you in the future, it’s so delicious!”
Zhong Shen immediately responded: “Qiao Qiao is not our cook! Next time you cook, we will learn! If she’s the only one cooking, aren’t we freeloading?”

After lunch, Le Xiao and Feng Wei took the initiative to wash the dishes. After all, it was a live broadcast and they all knew they had to look good.
Sheng Qiao took the flower pots and went outside to transplant some plants. She was busy and did not notice someone coming up behind her until he asked: “Do you need any help?”
Huo Xi squatted down beside her and Sheng Qiao’s muscles tensed immediately and she said in a low voice: “No, I’m okay. Go inside, it’s cold.”
Huo Xi looked at her for a while and smiled.
He turned off his microphone and asked her: “Sheng Qiao, why do I feel like you are a little afraid of me?”
