Chapter 30 Let’s be friends! (Part )

Freedom is an innate right of human beings and an inviolable right bestowed upon human beings by nature.

Fujii Itsuki believes in Rousseau's famous saying: "Man is born free."

However, housework is a form of regulation, restraint and restriction on individuals.

These two are completely opposite things.

In short, doing housework is equivalent to restraining yourself and giving up your freedom.

therefore.

If you want to be liberated and fight against the oppression and suffering that the world has brought upon mankind, you must resist everything that is opposed to freedom.

In other words – no housework.

".After saying so much, uncle, are you willing to help?"

"."

Fujii Itsuki, sitting across the table from the other side, remained silent.

It all starts from last night.

At dinner time, Jiu Huayue ate simple instant noodles as usual, while he was reading quietly in the living room.

It was a normal, ordinary dinner, but halfway through her meal, a spider fell from the ceiling.

The spider, along with the dust, fell into the bowl of instant noodles that the girl had just made.

Since Fujii Itsuki had not gone out to buy food these days, almost all the food she had bought before had been eaten, and Jiuhuayue's food stock was not much, and the noodles had just been cooked. So the bucket of instant noodles last night was her only remaining food.

The girl's last supper was ruined.

She didn't yell, but just tightened her face, silently covered the instant noodles, picked it up, and threw it away.

Then she lay on the dining table and starved all night.

Fujii Shu felt sorry for her. After all, such a tall child needed enough food to support her body.

"Damn it! How did you come up with the idea of ​​spring cleaning?"

"Those damn spiders are breeding everywhere because I haven't cleaned the house for a long time. I was hungry all night yesterday because of them, so I want revenge and make sure they have no place to live!"

"If you want to do a thorough cleaning, then do it. Why would you drag me along?"

“With more people, it won’t be so tiring.”

"Then why should I listen to you?"

Jiuhuayue pointed at the noodles in front of him.

".It seems that you called me to get up and eat noodles again today just to get me to help you in the afternoon and set a trap for me!"

"Nothing good comes easy! I don't eat my noodles for free!"

"."

Jiuhuayue pouted, "Besides, you also live in this house now! You have an obligation to help me with the spring cleaning."

"Auntie, do you know how big your house is? Regardless of the number of floors, the area alone is more than 200 square meters! The glass windows on the first floor are at least 10 square meters, and they are so big and wide. If you clean them all, you will be exhausted."

"But we can't not clean it. The house is very old. The windows in the inner room are covered with spider webs and dust."

"I think it's okay. It's fine not to clean."

"No, that won't do. Look, a spider fell into my bowl yesterday. Who knows what will fall into my bowl next time? Cockroaches? Rats? Uncle, don't you think these things are disgusting?"

“They are cute.”

"Uncle!"

"No."

"Uncle! I beg you."

"No, it just won't work."

"."

Jiuhuayue stopped talking and just sat opposite with her hands on her legs, staring at Fujii Itsuki.

Her purple eyes made Fujii Itsuki feel a little uneasy.

".what?"

"Uncle, if you don't agree to me, I will keep staring at you."

If this girl forced him to help her clean, Fujii Itsuki would refuse without saying a word.

But she was begging me just now, and I ate the noodles she cooked.

With such a sincere look, Fujii Itsuki felt a little embarrassed to reject her.

Fujii Itsuki sighed, "Is it necessary? I think as long as there is no odor, it is okay to move the cleaning date to two days later."

"You said so yesterday, but you keep pushing it off to tomorrow, and tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. By then, the whole house will be crawling with rats!"

This is true.

Procrastination is not good, and he used to use this to scold several students in the class who always made excuses for not wanting to hand in their homework.

"How about this!"

Jiu Huayue was afraid that he would still reject her, so she seemed to have thought of something and made a suggestion, "Uncle, help me clean the house, and then I will help you clean your room. I know your room is super messy, with plastic bags, empty mineral water bottles, empty lunch boxes, empty potato chip bags, and your ashtray made of beverage bottle caps. Your room is like a garbage dump! It needs to be cleaned too!"

"."

Thank you so much for your evaluation.

"Is it not possible, uncle?"

This girl was clearly just calling me uncle, but why did I always feel like she was acting like a spoiled brat?
Fujii Itsuki was convinced by her, "Okay, I agree. Looking at your attitude, if I don't agree, you can kick me out of this house."

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

"Didn't you glare at me fiercely before and said you didn't want me to live here?"

"The past is the past. Now you just have to agree. If you are diligent, I have no reason to refuse you to continue living here."

Fujii Itsuki lowered his head. "I think you really want to kick me out, and you have ten thousand reasons to kick me out. Did you buy the cleaning tools?"

"I bought it. I went to the convenience store and bought it as soon as I got up. I just can't stand spiders."

".Okay then. I'll help you clean up."

"Okay, without further ado, I'll go get the cleaning tools now, and together we'll clean the house thoroughly, clean and beautiful!"

This girl is quite enthusiastic.

Fujii Itsuki finished eating the noodles and Jiuhuayue changed her clothes.

She put on a thick blue jacket and a pair of khaki overalls. She put her hair up in a bun, revealing her snow-white neck.

This outfit is not the first time Fujii Itsuki has seen her. Is this considered men's clothing?
Last time he wanted to comment on this outfit as “neat and tidy”.

Sure enough, as long as a person is beautiful, he or she will look beautiful in anything.

"Uncle is responsible for the right half, and I am responsible for the left half. We mainly clean the dust and spider webs. We also need to remove the white cloth from the furniture to see if there is any dust or spider eggs inside. After all, many things have been there for more than ten years."

The girl does things vigorously and decisively.

She didn't mind the dirt. She carried a bucket of water, picked up a dirty rag and started wiping the furniture and mopping the floor.

She didn't leave out any dusty corners, including quartz columns, classical paintings, and fireplaces.

For a carpet with thick and heavy fur, she called Fujii Itsuki and together they took it into the bathroom and washed it with plenty of water.

It was tiring to bend over to wash, so she simply went barefoot and used her feet to step out the dirt and water.

I really didn't realize she was so capable.

I had a simple meal at noon, and continued working in the afternoon. Although the process was simple, there were too many things. The cleaning was not completed until the night.

".I've never been so tired in my life."

"Uncle, you don't have enough strength."

"I'm not as energetic as you. I had gout in my legs when I was in Tokyo." "Uncle, you're not even 30 yet. How can you have gout?"

"tired."

"Oh, then you take a rest first, uncle. Actually, we have almost finished cleaning today. We will continue tomorrow. It will be your room's turn tomorrow."

"."

Fujii Itsuki was exhausted. He couldn't listen to anything and just wanted to take a shower and have a good sleep.

The next morning, Fujii Shu felt sore in the back and waist that she knocked on the door and forced him to get up.

"Uncle! Get up and clean your room today! Oh, and the windows you didn't clean yesterday!"

"."

What a shame.

I really don't know where this little girl gets so much energy. She cleaned all day yesterday. Isn't she tired?
But he had no other choice. Since it was something he had agreed to, he had to accompany her and do it.

Jiuhuayue was still wearing the same housekeeping outfit she wore yesterday. When she came in, she glanced at Fujii Itsuki's miserable room and couldn't help but sigh and said:

"I don't know how you can live like this. Do you think sleeping with garbage is comfortable?"

"pretty good"

"How can it be good! It's all garbage and the clothes are a mess."

It is indeed not very comfortable for a little girl to see a single man's room.

What's more, she is a little girl who likes to be neat.

"Actually, if there's no peculiar smell, it's no different from sleeping normally."

Jiu Huayue saw the open suitcase beside the bed. The suitcase was full of messy clothes, including pants, jackets, and ties, mixed together in a half-matched manner.

The girl immediately turned into an expression of disgust and disdain:
"Uncle is so sloppy."

"."

Why doesn't her expression look as pleasing as yesterday?
Jiu Huayue immediately retracted her expression and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing and the whole bed are your wardrobe."

".how do you know."

"Why don't you use the wardrobe that comes with this room? I remember there are a few hangers in it, which should definitely be enough for you."

"It's a hassle. Except for suits, you can just throw your clothes on the bed. When you wake up the next day, you can just grab them and put them on. How convenient."

"But this is messy."

"As long as it's simple enough."

".Sloppy! You don't look dirty from the outside. But when I entered your room, I found you like this. You've only been here for more than a week, and you're a teacher!"

"I've already said that work and life are two different things. No one cares about my private life. I just need to keep it odor-free. Who should I show it to by keeping it so tidy? Besides, it's not like I won't clean when I move out."

"It's really unbearable. The room is full of empty lunch boxes and your snack garbage, as well as the ashtray. Why are you still using that beverage bottle cap?"

"poverty."

"If you are poor, don't smoke"

To be honest, I'm quite ashamed.

It was really embarrassing for a grown man to have his private life criticized so harshly by a little girl.

Therefore, the girl's voice of rebuttal became much quieter.

I am really sorry.

"Yang Kui-san has mentioned many times that she wants the uncle to take good care of her, right?"

"Sorry, over the years, one gets used to it."

"You can't do this even if you get used to it. And it's a completely bad habit."

Jiuhuayue sighed and looked up at Fujii Itsuki with a very serious expression:
"Then I'll clean it up for you today. You must keep it clean from now on. Remember to take off your clothes every day and hang them in the closet. Throw the garbage into the trash can accurately, sort it every day, and throw it away on time. If you want to smoke, buy a proper ashtray. You must take good care of your life even if you are alone."

"It's too much trouble. And why?"

"You are a tenant here! I am your landlord now. I, Jiu Huayue, demand that you take care of your life!"

"."

This girl is quite fierce.

"Okay, there's no point in talking any more! I'll start helping you clean now!"

After Jiuhuayue finished speaking, she immediately started to help him tidy up the room without caring about Fujii Itsuki's opinion.

She first put the snack bags and empty lunch boxes outside into the garbage bags, and then swept up the snack crumbs, hair, dust and other small garbage on the ground and put them in the garbage bags.

The novels that Fujii Itsuki usually read and the materials he used to help Matsumae Shinharu with his questions were all placed on the bedside, and the girl sorted them out for him and piled them on the bedside table.

The lamps should be wiped clean; the corners should be wiped clean; there are still some dirty mildew spots in the corners of old furniture, so wipe them all clean.

Next comes the clothes.

Jiuhuayue asked Fujii Itsuki to check the worn and unworn items first, and then threw them into two different laundry baskets that she brought over.

"These are clothes you haven't worn yet, and they're for summer. I'll fold them for you first, and you can either put them in the closet or in your suitcase."

"Oh"

"Don't just answer without doing anything."

"No problem! Jiuhua teacher!"

The girl took an hour to sort out the follow-up.

When tidying up a room, some embarrassing things are inevitable.

The girl found several treasured magazines that Fujii Itsuki bought shortly after he became an adult, which he still can't bear to throw away.

She twisted it with her thumb, held it in her hand, and stared blankly.

".What's this?"

".Children, don't look at this!"

"."

Jiuhuayue was still in a daze until the magazine was taken away by Fujii Itsuki.

Fujii Itsuki put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, "That's a fashion magazine. Aren't you also a model and can take fashion photos? It's that kind of magazine. It just happens that the person on the cover is wearing a swimsuit. Don't misunderstand."

"Fashion magazine?"

"Yes, that's the thing. It just so happens that the cover is a swimsuit."

"Oh, I see."

Then the girl quietly packed her things for a long time.

His face was a little redder than usual.

Uncle should say that men really like these things. It's really annoying.
He was not disgraced, as Fujii Itsuki had the courage to admit that he was a normal man. What's more, the girl didn't even open it to read.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t maintain his normal uncle persona in front of Jiu Huayue.

“VIVI.”

"what?"

"VIVI, the photos I took as a model will sometimes appear in this magazine."

".I understand, but why are you telling me this?"

"When we were chatting yesterday, didn't you say you were curious about what my work status was like? You can see some of it in the magazine."

"."

VIVI? Fujii Itsuki remembered the name of this magazine.
