806 had no idea about these things, so Cheng Zhi started making things up, saying she wanted a few fish that were easy to raise and delicious.

After the uncle made his selection, the five of them searched and finally found enough cash to pay the bill.

The five people loaded the things into the car, and as they drove away, the fishpond gradually disappeared from sight. Huang Yiyi's tense nerves finally relaxed. "Goodness, I wasn't even sure our school had an aquaculture major. I was just making things up."

Chen Siyu's eyes widened, and she patted Huang Yiyi admiringly, "You improvised quite well! Hey, what about Cheng Zhi? Was Cheng Zhi also made up?"

Cheng Zhi smiled and shook her head. "I did have a senior colleague in my department who was in this major. She mentioned that there were fish ponds near the school. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known about these things."

We arrived back at Honey Lake Villa just in time for dinner, but since we still had a lot to do, 806 simply ate some instant noodles.

Cheng Zhi and Chen Siyu retrieved a ladder from the basement and began installing curtains. They installed curtains primarily for privacy, so instead of using a sliding rod, they directly glued the curtains to the wall, preventing any light from getting through.

Making a fish tank in the living room was no easy task for Xiao Feiran. She tried to search her memory, recalling that her father had made the fish tank at home when she was a child, and she had been there the whole time. However, it seemed that her memory was still too small, and she could only recall a few fragments of the scene.

Unable to recall, Xiao Feiran chose to give up and started assembling the glass herself. After all, there was so much glass; if she failed the first time, she could try again.

Zheng Wan and Huang Yiyi were planning the land in the space. The space had become larger, but the number of chickens and rabbits had also increased. Now they also wanted to raise fish. If they didn't rearrange the space, it would be too messy, not only unsightly but also a waste of land.

After a busy afternoon, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran finished making the curtains and then helped Xiao Feiran build a fish tank. They finally managed to make one that didn't leak.

Zheng Wan also cleared out some space, and with the fish in, the small vegetable garden looked even more vibrant.

Everything was tidied up inside and out, which pleased everyone. Cheng Zhi remembered seeing a barbecue grill and charcoal while looking for a ladder in the basement and suggested having a nice meal that evening.

Zheng Wan thought of the freshly harvested baby bok choy and the chicken wings that had been in the refrigerator for a long time, and immediately agreed.

Upon hearing that they were going to have barbecue, everyone stopped being tired. Cheng Zhi brought out the tools to clean them, while the rest of the people went to wash the vegetables.

As the sun set, 806 set up a barbecue grill in the garden outside the villa.

The charcoal grill was set up, and the ingredients were laid out. Soon, the aroma of barbecue sauce and cumin powder filled the air. Cheng Zhi thoroughly enjoyed the moment. A gentle breeze caressed her face. She had food, drinks, and friends to keep her company. This was definitely the most comfortable day she had had in over ten months.

The neighbors in room 835 weren't so happy. The four of them had cooked two meals, and neither of them was edible; they were all culinary disasters.

Qi Yanche was in agony. Why was cooking so difficult? If the heat was too high, it would burn; if it was too low, it wouldn't cook through. And with so many ingredients, how could anyone remember what was what?

Chen Yiyi was also numb, and weakly punched Lu Yuan, "Aren't you an agronomy major? How come you can't even cook?"

Lu Yuan was speechless, his eyes rolling to the sky. "Big brother, I studied agriculture, not cooking. I only know how to grow crops, not cook them!"

After a busy day, only French fries are happily eating dog food, and the four of them are very resentful.

Suddenly, Shen Lingfeng, who was near the window, twitched his nose, pulled the curtains open a crack, and saw that there was a barbecue going on in the garden next door.

Shen Lingfeng burst into tears, "Waaah, we all came from the same university, how come they can eat barbecue while we can't even steam a pot of rice properly?"

Chen Yiyi also smelled the odor, pressed her face against the window crack and inhaled deeply, then turned to Qi Yanche, "Brother Yan, should we give up? Anyway, what we're cooking is garbage. Why don't we talk to the girl next door?"

Qi Yanche remained silent, clearly disagreeing with the suggestion. Lu Yuan also objected, "What's there to talk about? What we have, others also have; what they have, we might not even have. We have no advantages whatsoever, so what do we have to negotiate with the girl?"

Shen Lingfeng sat up and retorted to Lu Yuan, "You can't say that. They are girls after all, and their fighting ability is definitely not as good as ours. We give them food and protect them in exchange for three meals a day. Is that not allowed?"

Lu Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "You all didn't see it clearly yesterday, but I did. That girl wasn't holding an ordinary stick; it was an electric baton. She could shock all three of us with one hand, so she didn't need our protection."

After he finished speaking, all four of them fell silent, and a faint sadness filled the air.

Chen Yi sighed deeply, "We're just a bunch of useless men."

Suddenly, Qi Yanche remembered something and started rummaging through the supplies they had looted yesterday. At the very bottom, he found a bag of grilled sausages. "Could we borrow a light from them?"

When Cheng Zhi saw the dog's head stuck in the crack of the door, she was puzzled. Looking back, she saw four timid men who dared not step forward.

"What do you want from us?" Cheng Zhi asked, holding up the pliers.

As the leader of 835, Qi Yanche was pushed forward again, holding two bags of grilled sausages. He stepped forward and said, "We smelled that you were grilling. We just happened to have two bags of grilled sausages that we snatched back yesterday, so we wanted to borrow a light from you. We won't borrow it for nothing. We'll eat one bag and you can have the other one."

Zheng Wan, Huang Yiyi, and Chen Siyu were busy preparing for the barbecue, while Cheng Zhi discussed it with Xiao Feiran for a while. They had been neighbors for some time, and during that time, they hadn't done anything inappropriate, always treating each other politely. They were all classmates, so why not just agree?

Cheng Zhi took the sausage and gestured for them to go back and wait. She said that Gouzi would come and get it when it was ready.

The four boys were overjoyed and said they would wait outside instead of going back, as the smell made them happy.

Cheng Zhi didn't say anything more, patted the dog's head, and fed the dog the chicken wings that hadn't been seasoned.

Whether it was because the dog's fur had grown a little and made it look better, or because she had simply gotten used to it, Cheng Zhi didn't find it ugly anymore.

Qi Yanche sat on the steps by the door, watching the interaction between French Fries and Cheng Zhi, and couldn't help but say, "Its name is French Fries, it's my dog, it's two years old."

Cheng Zhi was taken aback by Qi Yanche's words and paused for a moment before following up with the question, "What breed of dog is French Fries? A mixed breed? Or a mongrel?"

Now it was Qi Yanche's turn to be dumbfounded. His handsome face changed expressions many times in a short while, and finally he said helplessly, "Can't you really tell? The fries are from a Samoyed..."

Cheng Zhi: "..."

What the heck?! This thing is actually a smiling angel Samoyed?!
