Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 149: Unable to Achieve Cooperation

"..."

He said nothing and walked to Anjiu naturally.

"Point that way."

Anjiu moved to make room for him with a rolled-up mattress that he could use as a stool.

Pu Huai sat down, his eyes falling on the small, simple stove in front of him.

Then he looked up along the cigarette outlet.

Anjiu's heart was lifted.

The windows were open at home, and even though it was raining outside, the smoke was still slowly drifting towards the window.

Pu Huai stretched out his hand and waved it in the air above the cigarette outlet.

The light gray smoke was dispersed with his movements.

Everyone was already a little nervous, and when they saw him move, they all looked over at him.

An Jiu was mixed in with them and also looked over.

Pu Huai was still wearing black clothes, which might have shrunk after washing and were slightly tight, making his skinny waist extremely eye-catching.

Under the orange-red light, those eyes and brows looked less stern and more gentle.

He frowned slightly, intending to get up and follow the direction of the smoke.

An Jiu spoke at the right time, "Captain Pu, drink some hot water to warm yourself up and drive away the cold."

Pu Huai paused and lowered his eyes.

In her hand she was holding a cup of water from which steam was rising.

Grandma also said, "Drink some, it will warm you up in no time."

Ji Zhenzhen followed up by saying, "That's right, I just took a sip and I felt warm. Captain, please don't be polite. Drink more. If it's not enough... I'll go downstairs and buy some water!"

Having said that, she stood up and was eager to leave.

An Jiu glanced at her several times, but failed to stop her.

When Ji Zhenzhen saw Pu Huai, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. An Jiu couldn't understand why he had never seen her like this before?!

"Ji Zhenzhen," she said with a fake smile, "Now is not the time to sell water. The water store is not open yet."

Ji Zhenzhen didn't even turn her head. "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I'll go and queue up first and try to be the first to buy water. Everything should be based on the captain's health. I'll go down and queue up first, captain."

Pu Huai picked up the water cup and took a sip without moving his brows.

Not saying anything means agreeing.

Ji Zhenzhen just wanted to whistle loudly.

At this time, Gan Qi also stood up and said, "Um, Captain, Xiaojiu, I have to go home too, otherwise my dad will be worried."

Anjiu: “?”

A fish can't be tempted, right?

"Here are two fish. Captain, you can't finish them all by yourself. Are you sure you don't want to take some back for your uncle?"

Gan Qi's eyes met hers and then separated again.

With those dilated pupils, Anjiu wondered if his true meaning was not received at all? !

"Have some wine." Pu Huai said lightly.

She turned around with a sweet smile on her face, "Captain, you say."

Pu Huai: "They have something to do."

Ji Zhenzhen: "Oh, yes, Xiaojiu, I really have something to do!"

Gan Qi: "I'm worried about my dad being alone at home."

Anjiu: “…”

Grandma noticed something was going on and started to smooth things over, "If you're not in a hurry, just stay and eat a little more. It's a rare opportunity to have a hot meal. Why don't you sit for a while?"

Ji Zhenzhen and Gan Qi: "No, no, grandma, we really have something to do."

Pu Huai gave a brief order: "Go back."

The two left in a hurry.

There were only three people left in the room.

She, grandma and Pu Huai.

Anjiu moved to the side, and the three of them sat in a corner, surrounding the simple stove in the middle.

Without Ji Zhenzhen to adjust the atmosphere, it suddenly became a bit stiff and uncomfortable.

But obviously, Pu Huai didn't have that feeling.

I started chatting with grandma about random things.

Anjiu silently turned the fish over.

"This stove is too crude and not practical, Anjiu."

But as we were chatting, the topic suddenly turned back to her.

Anjiu looked at him, "Hmm?"

Pu Huai: "I'll take you downstairs later to pick out a more practical stove."

An Jiu refused: "I think this is quite useful. It's a one-time thing anyway, so there's no need to spend contribution points."

Pu Huai said: "I will pay the contribution value."

An Jiu paused, "No, it's not necessary."

The last three words were spoken completely subconsciously.

An Jiu heard clearly what he said and wanted to slap himself hard.

What are you talking about!

Why does she sound so angry and coquettish?

damned!

That's not what she meant at all!

Pu Huai's expression indeed became intriguing.

After more than ten seconds, he continued, "Don't rush to refuse. This is a deal. You have firewood here. You can help me dry my clothes."

This time Anjiu hesitated.

To her, it seemed like a good deal, because the simple stove was too small and the heat it could emit was limited.

If I could get a bigger one, I could not only dry clothes and roast fish, but I could even dry all the fish in the space.

Grandma understood, and although she was tempted, she couldn't make the decision for Xiaojiu.

Everything should be based on Xiaojiu's wishes.

Pu Huai sipped the hot water without any hurry, giving Anjiu enough space to think.

"The fish is cooked, Captain Pu, let's eat something first."

Grandma handed him a pair of washed chopsticks.

Pu Huai thanked him, took it and ate the fish slowly.

Anjiu's scattered thoughts were gradually drawn back.

When he eats, he looks pretty...

Pu Huai noticed it, looked up, and raised his eyebrows, "Why, have you thought about it?"

This was an action that would never appear on his face, at least Anjiu had never seen it.

For this, she looked at him twice more.

Pu Huai followed her.

He turned to his grandmother and said gently, "The fish you grilled is delicious."

Grandma was delighted and said, "If you like it, eat more."

Pu Huai didn't hesitate to eat both fishes.

While he was taking a break to drink some water, Anjiu said, "I agree to the deal you just mentioned."

Pu Huai was not surprised by this result.

Anyone with a sound mind would agree.

He put down his teacup and added, "There is one more condition."

Anjiu frowned, "What?"

Grandma also looked over, curious about what the other condition he proposed was.

"It's very simple," Pu Huai said calmly, "Just help me grill a fish every time, just like tonight."

"..."

Anjiu didn't think this was a simple task at all, because the dry firewood at home was very limited and he had to use it sparingly on ordinary days.

I really went all out today and grilled three fish in a row.

If the firewood is gone, the deal cannot go on.

She said expressionlessly: "Your request is completely reasonable. I have no reason to refuse. However, there is a fatal factor that will prevent us from cooperating."

Pu Huai: "What do you mean?"

Anjiu raised his chin and motioned him to look over there.

Three fifths of the dry firewood had been consumed, and the remaining firewood would not last long.

Pu Huai understood.

"This is indeed a problem."

Anjiu nodded.

At first she hadn't expected the rainy season to last so long, nor had she expected the firewood to be consumed so quickly.

Due to insufficient preparation beforehand, I am unable to make this deal now.

It seems that it will still be yellow.
