Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 145 Cleaning the study
There was a knock on the door, and Shangzi came to open the door.

Looking at her turban, as well as the dust on her body and face, Hai Xing asked, "Have you started cleaning?"

"Two rooms have been cleaned. Come in first."

She patted the snowflakes off her body and walked into the house.

Naruse also came out of the room.

"You didn't even change your clothes. It seems that you are really short of money."

"..."

Hai Xing didn't really want to talk to him, but when it came to money, she still had to speak up.

"Anyway, I have to change this set of clothes afterwards... Do you really give it?"

"If you see Shangzi like this, think she is working hard, and if you are willing to help for free, of course I will not object."

"..."

Hai Xing glanced at the disheveled Shang Zi, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Don't bully Hai Xing." Seeing her perplexed face, Shang Zi smiled.

Naruse also laughed, and then said: "Don't worry, I was asking you to take the time to come over, and of course I will pay you."

Hai Xing pursed his lips, thankful that he didn't take the opportunity to say that he didn't want money just now.

"How about [-] yen an hour? The hourly salary of a part-time job in Tokyo is about the same," Naruse said.

"Really?" Starfish asked casually.

Naruse wasn't quite sure either, he had never worked part-time, and the hourly salary was mentioned by a classmate by chance, so he only remembered a rough figure.

"Don't compare the salary you get working at home with outsiders."

Of course Hai Xing also understood, "One thousand is one thousand, I didn't say low... Shall we start now?"

"Yeah." Naruse took out his phone and looked at the time, "It's past three o'clock, so let's start counting at three o'clock. Come and clean the room first."

Shangzi also put a scarf around Haixing, wrapping her beautiful blond hair.

And the three of them cleaned together, divided the work and cooperated with each other, and the efficiency was improved a lot.

It took more than 20 minutes after the room was cleaned up.

Seeing the doors and windows cleaned by himself, Hai Xing wiped off his sweat and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"With the help of starfish, the cleaning is faster." Shangzi said.

"Uh-huh."

She nodded, her smile suddenly froze.

wrong……

If you clean up too quickly, the final reward will be less!
Seeing that she suddenly fell silent, her eyes rolled wildly, as if she was thinking about something, Naruse said, "Don't use your brain."

"..."

Starfish turned her head and looked aside, pretending not to hear.

Naruse was a little helpless.

"How about this... Shangzi's house also needs to be cleaned, limited to [-]:[-] pm tomorrow, and I will give you an extra [-] yen for every hour before the cleaning is completed, and if it is less than an hour, it will be counted as an hour. How about it?"

"..."

Hai Xing was stunned, calculating quickly in his mind, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't get the result.

Is the faster the better, or the slower the better!
"If you can clean everything today, you can get at least [-] yen." Naruse continued to incite.

"...how could it be so fast."

Can't figure it out, don't want to.

Starfish asked directly: "Where do we want to clean up next?"

Naruse smiled slightly, "The study."

When he came to the study, Hai Xing looked around and was about to start cleaning from the bookshelf.

Just after unloading a few books, Naruse suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll clean the bookshelves, and Haixing will clean the windows."

She looked back at him, "Oh."

When he came to the window, he used a chair to clean the glass above. Before he came down, Hai Xing looked back again.

Moving the books off the shelf, he was wiping them one by one.

And every time he wipes a book clean, he will turn it over and look at it a few times, then pick up the next one, and repeat.

He showed no expression, but Hai Xing saw nostalgia on his face.

When her eyes fell on those books again, she also felt a little nostalgic.

She still remembered that one day in the distant past, he dragged her into this study room and asked the adult who seldom showed up behind the desk to show them a book.

"My father has read all the books here."

That's what he seemed to say at the time.

"Dad has published several books himself, isn't it amazing?"

Hai Xing no longer remembers his reaction at that time, only his complacent expression is left in his mind even though he can't even reach the desk.

That look that was gone forever, never seen on his face again.

"--What's wrong?"

She was in a daze, not noticing that he had already looked over.

"fine."

Hai Xing turned his head away, and turned back after a while, "Are those books written by your father still in this study?"

"..."

Naruse was visibly taken aback.

"Starfish!" Shangzi, who was cleaning the door, was also startled, and walked over quickly.

"fine."

Naruse shook his head at her, and looked at Haixing: "No one has touched the books here, so they should still be there. What's wrong?"

"It's okay... I just want to see... I mean, I want to see what kind of book Uncle Naruse wrote."

Naruse smiled, "I'll show you if I find it later."

"Um……"

Starfish turned around and climbed off the chair, continuing to clean the glass.

Shangzi looked at her, then at Naruse for a while, and after he smiled to himself, he also returned to the door to continue wiping.

After wiping the doors and windows, Haixing and Shangzi wiped the desk and bookshelves clean, leaving all the books on them to Naruse.

The two then went to clean Song Qianqiu's room, which is Shangzi's current bedroom.

When Naruse came over, he was holding several books of different thicknesses.

"The book you want."

"Ah." Hai Xing quickly wiped his hands on his clothes and took the book.

She scanned the covers one by one, and she flipped through them a few more times. They were all professional books related to screenwriting.

"can't read……"

He smiled.

"But now I know what books these are." Hai Xing said with her head down.

Naruse glanced at her, then his eyes fell on the book in her hand.

"Ah."

After flipping through it for a while, Haixing solemnly returned the book to him.

Naruse sent the book back to the study and put it away, and came back soon to continue cleaning.

After the three of them cleaned the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room, the sky outside was completely dark.

Because his body was not clean, Naruse did not sit on the sofa, but sat on the floor directly.

"It's already this time..."

His back was sore and his arms were a little weak. He raised his hand and quickly lowered it.

"Remember the time, don't blame me for undercalculating the reward."

Hai Xing was also sore all over, and took out his phone with difficulty to take a look.

"Seven twenty... counts as eight o'clock, right?"

Naruse shook his head.

"Let's say it's eight o'clock."

She snapped her fingers and began to calculate her pay for these few hours.

"Three, four, five, six, seven, eight... six hours, six thousand yen!"

"..."

Naruse looked sideways, "You're not serious, are you?"

"Is there a problem?"

Shangzi smiled, supported his shoulders and back, and stood up.

"I'm going to prepare dinner... Starfish should also stay and eat."
