Chapter 379 Happy Enemies

Ning Xiyue also picked up a piece of chicken and waved her hand nonchalantly, "What are you calling? Don't bother with us. We don't have time to eat such delicious food. Don't thank us. Just eat it. Without Brother Zhou's cooking skills, you won't be able to enjoy it."

"Yeah, my sister is right. What Brother Zhou cooks is so delicious that I can't stop eating it. I can't stop at all." Ning Qingyuan nodded in agreement while eating the crispy pork.

"Just eat what you like. Eat more. If it's not enough, I'll go cook those other dishes."

Zhou Cheng was happy and satisfied seeing everyone enjoying their meal, as this was recognition of his cooking skills.

Similarly, he also likes to eat the food he cooks. Everyone is of the same age and there is no need for any small talk, so he eats his meal seriously.

There was no crazy toasting session based on personal relationships, and no formal questioning session.

All that was left was to eat. Although the four of them didn't say much, the atmosphere was pretty good. They raised their glasses and clinked them together from time to time before continuing to eat. It seemed warm and comfortable.

It can be said that this was the most comfortable and satisfying lunch Ning Xiyue had ever had.

It was the first time that she had eaten a table full of dishes that were so delicious and suited her taste.

It’s great to have a great chef at home. I envy Baiyu for being able to eat such delicious meals every day.

This reminded Ning Xiyue of a recruitment advertisement for a certain cooking technical school in the future.

Ning Xiyue suppressed her smile while picking up the food, eating the food seriously and getting rid of the magical advertisement in her mind.

There was a table full of food, with twelve dishes and one soup, and four people managed to finish most of it, which was quite impressive.

Zhou Cheng was afraid that the hospitality was not good enough and the food was not enough, so he stood up and said, "I'll go cook a few more dishes."

Ning Qingyuan quickly grabbed Zhou Cheng's arm with one hand and said sincerely, "No, Brother Zhou, this is enough. If you eat more, you won't be able to finish it. In fact, I'm full, but the food you cooked is so delicious that I can't help but reach out for my chopsticks to eat more."

After saying that, he burped and smiled embarrassedly at Zhou Cheng.

Ning Xiyue nodded before Zhou Cheng asked her, "Yes, no need to stir-fry, there is enough here, and I am actually full."

"Okay, then I won't cook. If you want to eat anything in the future, just ask me and I'll cook it for you. This is the only cooking skill I have." Zhou Cheng gave up the idea of ​​cooking, but he didn't sit down. He said, "I'll go peel a grapefruit."

Zhou Cheng went into the house and got a big pomelo and ran to the kitchen. When he came back with the peeled pomelo, the three people who were eating at the table had finished their meal and left.

Bai Yu and the two siblings sat at a small coffee table, drinking tea made from apples and chatting. There were some melon seeds, peanuts and candies on the table.

Bai Yu invited Ning Xiyue and his sister to eat.

Zhou Chengduan brought the pomelo over and asked him to eat it.

To be honest, I ate too much and couldn't eat many of the fruits, tea, melon seeds and peanuts after the meal.

They can't leave immediately after finishing the meal, the brother and sister still pay attention to some basic etiquette.

I ate a little just for the sake of it, and then Ning Xiyue brought up the topic of conversation. After my stomach wasn't so bloated anymore, I ate another slice of pomelo, so as not to waste the effort someone had to peel for me.

"How is it? This pomelo is sweet, right?" Bai Yu asked expectantly.

Ning Xiyue swallowed the grapefruit in her mouth and nodded with a smile: "Mm, it's really sweet and juicy."

Bai Yu was satisfied, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "Take one back to eat later. I also like to eat this pomelo. I can't stop eating it every time I eat it."

Zhou Cheng, who was very smart, heard this and without waiting for Bai Yu to wink, he quietly got up and went into the house to get the pomelo.

Hearing that it tasted delicious, Ning Qingyuan also broke off a petal and peeled it, revealing crystal clear, plump grapefruits. After eating the grapefruit, he said with approval in his eyes, "It is indeed delicious."

Zhou Cheng came out holding a big grapefruit and handed it to Ning Xiyue: "I picked the biggest one, it must be delicious."

"Thank you, Sister Bai and Brother Zhou." Ning Xiyue quickly took the pomelo and handed it to her second brother to hold, and then jokingly said, "Look at my two siblings, we are here with you, eating and taking things, how embarrassing."

Bai Yu waved his hand and ate a piece of grapefruit: "What's this? Just take it and continue eating."

A few people chatted while eating grapefruit, and the previous barriers were reduced a little.

The two siblings stayed here for more than an hour before saying goodbye and leaving, going back to continue their work.

After returning to the Youth League Home, Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan started making dumplings again.

By around five o'clock in the afternoon, I had finally finished wrapping and filled the winnowing basket.

Ning Qingyuan was thinking about the dinner party at the Youth Academy and asked, "Sister, what dishes should we take?"

Ning Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Bring a plate of steamed dumplings and a plate of fried dried fish. The portions should be large since there are many people."

"Okay, that's it."

Ning Qingyuan began to take out the dried sea fish, clean it and cut it into pieces.

Ning Xiyue turned around and went to light the fire.

This time, the educated youths had dinner together and agreed that each person would bring a dish and form a table.

The rice was prepared by everyone and cooked by Wu Guifang.

We agreed to start eating at six o'clock.

Ning Xiyue looked at the time and found that there was still enough time.

Wait until the dumplings are steamed and the spicy fish pieces are fried.

Chen Yechu was waiting for her outside with the dishes in his hand: "Xiyue, what did you cook that smells so good?"

"Haiyu, the one you changed today." Ning Xiyue looked at the dish covered with a bowl lid in her hand curiously: "What about you, what dish did you make?"

"Cut some ham and stir-fry it with dried mushrooms." Chen Yechu showed her a smile.

Ning Xiyue smelled the fragrance through a gap: "It smells so good. Wait for me, I'll be there soon. Let's go together."

Ning Qingyuan brought out two plates of food. Ning Xiyue took the brother and sister's bowls and chopsticks, closed the door, and walked towards the dining area in the front yard together.

In the front yard, lanterns were lit and Tang Xiaohu was still playing with cannons, which made bang bang sounds. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from various places outside.

Wang Jiandong and Xia Zhipeng were taking apart firecrackers and hanging them on tree branches.

Two male educated youth, Li Dabing and Gao Yang, are playing table tennis.

Liu Yao was also jumping rope with Wang Mengmeng in the yard. The lively noises brought the festive atmosphere to the fore.

Liu Yao saw Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu coming over with things and waved and shouted, "Xiyue, Yechu, come and jump rope."

"You play first, we'll put the food on the table." Ning Xiyue declined and walked into the house with Chen Yechu.

Yu Zhiyu and Zhao Jianshe were carrying the steamed rice to the dining room next door.

The steamer is placed in a wooden basin filled with hot water to keep the rice warm and prevent it from getting cold.

When Ning Xiyue walked into the living room, she saw that the table was already full of dishes. Each dish was not just a sloppy preparation. The portions were large, the variety was rich, and they were basically different. They looked good.

When Wu Guifang saw everyone had arrived, she stood at the kitchen door and shouted loudly to the outside: "Everyone wash your hands and eat. The rice is cooked. You can go out and play after dinner."

"Here I come."

Those who were playing table tennis, skipping rope, and playing with cannons all stopped playing.

Wu Guifang then shouted to Wang Jiandong, "Jiandong, you guys can light up the firecrackers now. We'll have dinner after the firecrackers go off."

"Okay." Wang Jiandong took out a match and reminded everyone: "I'm going to light it, please pay attention."

Everyone outside covered their ears and ran under the eaves.

After seeing that everyone had run under the eaves, Wang Jiandong lit a match and carefully placed it on the fuse of the firecracker. After sparks came out of the fuse, Wang Jiandong turned around and ran away.

Ning Xiyue looked ahead with a smile on her face, covering her ears and waiting for the sound of firecrackers.

However, even after Wang Jiandong ran into the yard, the firecrackers behind him still did not go off.

A feint.

Li boldly shouted in a teasing tone, "Jiandong, you are not good enough. You ran away before the firecrackers were even lit."

Liu Yao looked at Li Dabing and laughed, "Dare, why don't you go? Aren't you called Li Dabing? You must be very brave. Let's see."

Li Dabing was choked instantly.

"You are only good at talking," Wang Jiandong replied mockingly.

"Hahaha, you don't know this. Although Li Dabing's name is Dabing, I actually found that he is the most timid. Li Dabing has never been bold. He should be called Li Xiaodan, isn't he Xiaodan?" Tang Xiaohu laughed and ruthlessly revealed the inside story of Li Dabing's name.

Li Dabao started to argue with Tang Hu: "Go away, who is as bold as you, Tang Dahu, who even dares to play with a snake in your hand."

"You are such a coward, even snakes are afraid of you."

The two of them shouted at each other with red faces and thick necks, each voice getting louder than the last.

"Big Tiger..."

Ning Xiyue, who was standing next to them, picked her ears helplessly, looked at them with disdain and smiled: "I told you two to stop making trouble, my ears will be deafened by you two before the firecrackers."

These two bickering lovers keep quarreling when they get together.
