The World I’m Wearing is Wrong

Chapter 42: Help

Bu Tian remembered the black USB flash drive that Yan Zhengxiang was looking for, but he looked around in the study and asked him to pay attention when cleaning the Lantern Festival, but in the end he found only four USB flash drives, none of which were black. There are some internal information related to the Bu family, but they are not important secrets.

Blink of an eye to the 23rd, just one month away from the Lantern Festival.

In the evening, Butian was still developing and preparing an “egg mask” in the study. The door of the study was not closed, and the door of the Lantern Festival Station knocked on the door and put a head in.

“Come in.” Bu Tian didn’t lift his head.

During the Lantern Festival, I can smell the medicines in the past two days, and the cleaning work is also focused on the study. Naturally, I can see more and more medicinal materials in the study. Although I am curious about the reason why Butian is tossing the medicinal materials, he does not want to cross the border, so he keeps his curiosity in mind. .

“Mr. Bu, I paid my wages two days ago.” Seeing that he was not busy with meticulous work, Lantern said directly, “I will give you this month’s arrears.” The stack of red banknotes was handed over.

The movement in Bu Tian’s hand paused, his gaze followed the money in his hand and landed on his face.

Yuan Xiao was looking at him expectantly.

Bu Tian hesitated for a few seconds, released his hand holding the pestle, took the stack of money, and asked casually, “Didn’t you say that this month’s working hours are short, and you have enough money to pay me back?”

“Enough is enough.” Lantern nodded again and again, “I do a lot of work, three to three hundred and five a day, seven thousand in twenty-three days, and I have more than two thousand left after giving you five thousand, absolutely Enough.”

“…300 to 350 a day’s wages?” Bu Tian felt that this amount was a bit low, “Is it okay if I don’t work?”

“Yeah.” Lantern nodded and sat down on another lounge chair, “Employees of the company ask for leave to deduct their wages during non-holidays. Although our physical work is not fixed, it is similar. Only labor can be paid. Regular unit employees, our welfare is not very good, especially the bottom brick mover like me, the money is not too high, if you get into the position of the contractor, it will be much better.”

Bu Tian asked casually, “Will your foreman take the commission from his subordinates?”

Lantern rested his cheeks with one hand, his eyes fell on the small medicine mortar, and he replied calmly: “It can also be understood in this way… The contractor has a concept of a middleman. The person in charge of the construction site contacts them to find people to work, and they are responsible for negotiating wages and finding people. The price given is generally lower than the price they negotiated, but for those of us who do not have serious jobs, we can work on conditions that are within the acceptable range of our hearts.

“Are you satisfied with your salary?” Bu Tian asked again.

“Satisfied.” Lantern nodded, “If I work for a month, I will basically have more than 10,000 in my account. Excluding the rent and living expenses, I can save 7,000 to 8,000 a month, and I can have almost 100,000 a year. I am a millionaire cough…” He coughed strangely and stopped talking.

Bu Tian looked at him strangely, and he also looked at him silently.

Bu Tian didn’t know why: “?”

Lantern Festival said quietly: “All the net worth of a millionaire can’t afford a bathroom in your house.”

Bu Tian: “…”

Lantern Festival sighed again: “Alas, the rich are really rich these days, and the poor are really poor, they can’t compare to it.”

Bu Tian: “…” He regretted bringing up the wages for Lantern Festival.

“By the way, Mr. Bu, I see that you have been working on these medicinal herbs and… boiled eggs for the past two days,” Lantern said with great interest, his eyes fell on the eggs that are consumed a lot every day, “In addition to boiled eggs, there are also… Is there anything I can do to help?”

Hearing that, Bu Tian hesitated a bit. In Tang Hui’s words, the “egg mask” is an “exclusive secret recipe.” “Egg Mask” is not difficult to obtain except for the materials, and it is not difficult to make mistakes in the procedure. However, Tang Hui told him to cover the recipe, at least before the patent application is filed.

But soon Butian was relieved. To make a finished egg mask, the proportion of medicinal materials should not be wrong, and Lantern Festival did not know what medicinal powder was put into the water when cooking eggs. If the first step is wrong, the boiled eggs will become genuine. The hard-boiled eggs, the kind that can be eaten by peeling the shell.

Right now, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive for him to manually make medicine every day, and it is a good thing to have someone to help.

So Bu Tian handed the small medicine mortar to Yuanxiao. After Yuanxiao took it, the corner of his mouth twitched and he said, “Isn’t there an automatic grinder now? Why doesn’t Mr. Bu use an automatic grinder?” It sounds like he is complaining about Bu Tian’s tossing and rushing to save: “Mr. Bu, I have no other intentions!” It sounds more like there is no silver and three hundred taels here…

Bu Tian stared at the small medicine mortar for three seconds, and also realized the problem. When he bought medicine in the Chinese pharmacy, he bought the medicine mortar because he was accustomed to manual operation in Heishi Village, and there was no automatic industrial equipment. Can rely on his hands, but now that there is an easy way, why does he still take the time-consuming and labor-intensive way?

“I’ll buy it tomorrow,” he said.

Lantern Festival: “Huh?”

Bu Tian: “Pulverizer.”

Lantern Festival: “…”

After a while, Lantern Festival asked weakly, “Mr. Bu, can I ask you a question?”

Bu Tian put the eggs in the water containing the herbs, and responded, “Mm.”

Looking at Bu Tian, Lantern looked like he was bored playing with eggs, and he really couldn’t connect this kind of naive thing that even children would not do with Bu Tian’s concentration at this time, his mood was somewhat subtle, he was clear Throat, asked: “It seems that there are still two eggs left in the refrigerator. Do I want to… buy more tomorrow?” Otherwise, Butian boils more than ten or twenty eggs a day, which is really unbearable!

The key is that these eggs were boiled by Bu Tian and then fiddled with medicine for a while, and they were lined up in the bookcase when they were finished. He couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with Bu Tian, but he was not infected by the surname Cui, right?

Bu Tian read the suspicion from his expression, and thought in a different position. If a modern person who had not been exposed to Miao medicine and prescriptions suddenly saw someone fancy-boiled eggs and tossed eggs, he would probably think that this person had a sick mind. …

“What’s wrong with your face?” Bu Tian suddenly asked.

“Ah?” Lantern didn’t keep up with his rhythm for a while.

Bu Tian stretched out his finger, saw that he didn’t hide, and moved forward a little bit, his fingertips touched the position of his cheek, and lightly touched twice on the skin that seemed to be darkened again—

A little itchy and a little sore.

Yuanxiao felt that his heart was also tickled a little, covered his face in embarrassment and shrank back, but Bu Tian didn’t chase after him.

He quickly adjusted his mood and explained, “The temperature has risen abruptly in the past two days, and the sun is also poisonous, and the skin has peeled off.”

No wonder it’s been dark again these two days. Step Tian thought.

“The temperature will only get higher and higher. At this level, you peel off your skin. What about when it’s hotter?” he asked.

Lantern Festival replied: “It’s too hot to bear the construction site and won’t start work. If a bunch of people come to the construction site, they have to be responsible… I’m actually fine, I’m not afraid of the heat, but I’m more afraid of the sun, and the skin peels off when the sun is too hot. .”

Bu Tian doubted that if he continued to bask like this, he would not only peel off his skin, but might even turn into an African.

He thought of the white and clean appearance on the Lantern Festival ID card, as well as the photos of Yuanchen he had seen with almost identical facial features but fair skin, and then contacted Manxintang Man Gaochao and his son who were clearly Man Rufeng relatives but could not recognize the Lantern Festival. Zhang face… Is it possible that Lantern Festival was deliberately tanned?

While thinking about it, Lantern raised his hand to touch his face again and said, “I’m thinking of buying a sunscreen for a few days. Is it called sunscreen? Or sunscreen?”

“Well, both.” Bu Tian said.

Lantern pounded the medicine and sighed: “I feel like I won’t dare to look in the mirror if I continue to bask in the sun like this.”

Bu Tian: “What?”

“You know, as soon as I take off my clothes, the contrast between black and white is stark. The key point is that I feel that the clothes will roll up when sweating on the construction site, so the abdomen is also tanned, and it becomes black and white, and it has evolved into a zebra. Trend, this is going to be more tanned, am I really a zebra?!” Lantern pointed to the color status of several parts of his body and was full of resentment.

Bu Tian followed his hand and looked over, and the picture automatically appeared in his mind…

Laugh out loud.

Smiles melt like ice and snow, mountain flowers bloom, and the spring breeze blows your face… The beauty is like a painting, which is very infectious and makes people sink.

Lantern’s little heart was caught off guard by an arrow, which was called Cupid’s arrow. In his mind, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over” swiped. Even though Bu Tian quickly restrained his smile, that smile was like The imprint was generally deep in his mind.

At the critical moment, his expression management was still successful, without showing the slightest clue, so Bu Tian didn’t see anything different.

Bu Tian put away his laughter, got up and went to the bookcase. He took a whitening egg he prepared yesterday from the bookcase, and a brand new soft brush from the drawer, and then said to Lantern Festival: “Come on. living room.”

Lantern Festival: “???”

He took the medicine mortar and pestle and followed Bu Tian to the living room. Bu Tian took two tools from him and said, “Let’s lie down on the sofa.” He didn’t give him a chance to ask questions after he finished speaking, put down the tools and went back again. kitchen.

Lantern soon heard the sound of the egg breaking, and wanted to go to see it, but he was afraid of making Butian unhappy, so he just stretched his neck and probed his head to look at the kitchen, but unfortunately he didn’t see anything.

Two minutes later, Bu Tian came back with a small bowl and a writing brush. Lantern lay down on the sofa while staring at the bowl in his hand and asked curiously, “Mr. Bu, what is this, I seem to smell honey.”

Bu Tian: “Mask.”

Lantern was surprised: “Mask???” Is that the mask he thought?

Bu Tian: “Lie down.”

Lantern Festival: “…Oh.”

The sticky liquid mixed with the aroma of medicine and honey was brushed on his face with a brush, and Lantern Festival almost held his breath. He was twenty years old and applied a mask for the first time in his life!

Applying the mask is not the point, the point is that the one who put the mask on him is the high-cold abstinent Bu Tian! !

Isn’t he being too caring?

Did he deliberately hook me up?

Bu Tian, would he mind having a boyfriend?

Lantern looked at Bu Tian who was so close, so close that he could hear his breathing, and could clearly see the tiny fluff on his face, that 360-degree face with all kinds of frontal and sideways killing, in his mind. The three questions went round and round, and beyond that, there was nothing left in his mind.

Bu Tian put the last bit of egg mask on the neck of Lantern Festival, so as to avoid the contrast between the face and neck after the effect, and really sent him to the high position of the zebra.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “It’s nine fifty-seven now, and I’ll wash at twelve o’clock.”

“…Do you want to apply it for so long?” Lantern didn’t dare to move, he lay up straight, his voice was hard, and he looked like a zombie.

Bu Tian nodded: “The longer the time is, the better the effect will be. If you are sleepy, you can put it on to sleep and wash it tomorrow morning.” After a while, he said, “Relax, your body is too tense and prone to cramps.”

“Can, can you move?” Lantern was cautious, afraid that the mask on his face would flow away if he moved.

Seeing that he was really careful, Bu Tian said, “You wait for about fifteen minutes, it should freeze by then, you can go back to your room to rest.”

“What should I do if I hit the pillow sheet?” Lantern asked immediately, and then answered himself, “Why don’t I sleep on the floor today?”

Bu Tian: “…”

He was a little amused and said, “You can wash it if you get dirty, or you can put a towel on it.”

“Oh, okay.” Lantern should be obedient.

Bu Tian suddenly realized that he talked a lot to Lantern today, and even put a mask on him. He was not as active as usual, he frowned and quickly concealed his discomfort, and said, “You have to go to work tomorrow, Rest early.” He picked up the medicine mortar and pestle, and went to the study.

“Mr. Bu, don’t be too busy, rest early!” Yuanxiao also followed.

Bu Tian paused in his footsteps, didn’t look back, just raised his hand and waved it casually.

Looking at his back disappearing at the door of the study, Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes: a man with handsome appearance, long legs, a cold and abstinent appearance and a gentle heart… Can you really look forward to it? ? ?

Yuan·Xiaoji·Xiao fell into a dreamland with a certain eagerness in his arms, and this dream—

Also beautiful.

The next day when the beauty was just dawn, he ran to the bathroom with a blushing face.

At the end, after brushing his teeth and reminiscing about the sweet dream, when he washed his face, he remembered that he had put a layer of mask on his face, and pressed his hand to his face. , recovered from the dream, he was really startled when he saw himself in the mirror.

The soft mask seems to form a complete protective film, and it is like a mask with a little thickness. Surprisingly, the skin does not feel uncomfortable when it is covered on the face.

Lantern found an edge to open a small opening, and found that it could be peeled off as a whole, and it was very firm!

but!

When the whole dark brown mask was removed from the face and neck, Lantern looked at the person in the mirror and fell into a mess.

Bu Tian packed up and walked out of the room to the study as usual. When he passed the bathroom, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed out quickly. If he didn’t have time to stop his reaction, his arm was held by a pair of cold hands.

Immediately after that, Lantern Festival’s voice could be described as distraught: “Mr. Bu, help me—”
