"Oh, let's go faster. It's like there's a little alarm clock in my stomach, urging me to go to the bathroom!" Zhao Qunying stomped her feet anxiously in the car, and her facial features were almost wrinkled.

Liu Nian couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Look at you, you can't hold it back even after just a short walk."

Zhao Qunying glared and immediately retorted, "You're still laughing at me. Didn't you eat so much too? I guess the food in your stomach is no less than mine."

Liu Nian was speechless for a moment, curling his lips and saying, "Yes, yes, it's mainly because the captain is so enthusiastic. The food is so delicious that I can't help but eat a few more bites. By the way, Jiang Tang, do we have to eat at the village chief's house for the next few days?"

"You can also cook for yourself. My kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and everything else. Does anyone here know how to cook? I'll let Captain Luo know right away, and we won't have to bother the villagers with making arrangements tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qunying and Liu Nian raised their hands in unison like two children fighting for candy.

"I can!" Zhao Qunying said loudly.

"I can do it too." Liu Nian was not to be outdone.

Meng Si Ning also wanted to go to the toilet and was walking forward with Jiang Tang. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up like stars in the night sky. The sizzling barbecue skewers instantly appeared in his mind. He said excitedly: "Okay, let's cook for ourselves these few days."

So Jiang Tang went back to Captain Luo's house and explained the situation to him. Captain Luo laughed heartily: "Okay, Jiang Tang, it's a good thing that you girls want to cook for yourselves. You can use the ingredients in our village. If you need anything, just ask."

After returning to their residence, they took turns going to the toilet, and then immediately boiled water for a bath.

Zhao Qunying and Liu Nian felt that it was very convenient without a man, and felt that they had made the right decision to come this time.

When girls get together, it's like they open up their chatterboxes and have endless topics to talk about.

"Jiang Tang, the fabric of your quilt feels so comfortable and soft. Where did you get it from?" Zhao Qunying asked curiously while touching the quilt on Jiang Tang's bed.

Liu Nian also came over, staring at the mosquito net beside the bed: "And this mosquito net, it looks exquisite, I haven't seen such a beautiful one in the city, which department store did you buy it from?"

Jiang Tang smiled and made up a lie.

Meng Si Ning on the side pretended to be stunned.

...

---beep--beep--

"Hello?"

"Siyun? Where's your sister?"

"Brother Lu, my sister is on a business trip and just left today."

Lu Cheng on the other end of the phone tightened his grip on the phone: "Where did you go?"

"I went to Jiangzhou County and will be back in four days. It's unfortunate, Brother Lu."

Lu Cheng, who was originally feeling regretful, was amused by his words: "Heh, your sister always leaves you alone at home when she goes out?"

"Um."

"Close the door at night, go to bed early, and pay attention when serving food."

"Brother Lu, don't worry. Sister has prepared a lot of food for me, and I can cook myself."

“Well, Siyun is awesome.

I sent you some food. It should arrive before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tell your sister not to forget to pick it up."

"good."

"Go to bed early. I'm hanging up now."

"Goodbye, Brother Lu."

Lu Cheng felt a little lost when he didn't hear the voice of his beloved.

He has been quite busy lately and hasn't spoken to Si Ning on the phone for several days.

I finally found some time today, but...

Seeing his frustrated look, Liang Jing came over and teased him, "You've been exchanging food coupons with others these days. Did you buy something delicious for your sister-in-law? What? She's not satisfied?"

Lu Cheng pushed him away in disgust: "She's not here."

"Oh... So you didn't hear your sweetheart's voice. No wonder you look unhappy."

"Go away. I'm upset. Be careful or I'll beat you up."

“If you think about it urgently, get the personnel done quickly.

Their parents are here with us now, you are so stupid, hurry up and arrange for the family to meet."

Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Liang Jing and smiled: "You are really smart..."

Liang Jing said narcissistically: "Except for my fighting ability not being as strong as yours, I think I am better than you in other aspects."

Lu Cheng stabbed him: "Are you as handsome as me?"

"..." This congenital condition can only be blamed on his parents, huh.

"Unfortunately, my parents can't come recently because my second brother is getting married."

Liang Jing slapped himself and said, "How could I have forgotten about this? It's a pity we can't go back. What did you give him?"

"money."

"Brother, you are too direct."

"Apart from money, I don't think Xiao Chi needs anything else."

"You are awesome, brother, I admire you."

...

Youcaoling Village

The next morning, the kitchen was bustling with activity. Zhao Qunying and Liu Nian, wearing aprons, looked like two professional chefs, busy at the stove. Meng Si Ning and Jiang Tang assisted by washing and chopping vegetables.

"I have to show you my cooking skills today and let you taste my cooking skills." Zhao Qunying said confidently while waving the spatula.

Liu Nian was not willing to be left behind: "My cooking is also excellent, I'm just waiting for your praise."

Meng Si Ning watched them from the side and said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it now. I have to eat a few more bowls of rice today."

Jiang Tang looked at the lush vegetable patch in the backyard and said, "The vegetables in the backyard are growing well. We won't have to worry about not having fresh vegetables to eat these days. I'll get a chicken today and make some chicken soup. It's sure to be delicious."

Meng Si Ning's eyes turned and he suggested, "Let's get some more meat, then we can have a barbecue tonight. If we can have a fish, it would be even more perfect. The taste of grilled fish is so good."

"Okay, let me see who's fishing."

After dinner, Jiang Tang went to the brigade headquarters, where she saw Captain Luo and several villagers busy weighing the goods they had collected.

"Jiang Tang, you are finally here." Captain Luo smiled when he saw Jiang Tang.

"Captain Luo, Old Secretary, our jujubes are well preserved."

A villager nearby said, "We dry our jujubes several times a year, so they're guaranteed to be bug-free."

As he was speaking, Zhao Qunying and Liu Nian came running over in a hurry.

"Jiangtang, we are here to help too!" Zhao Qunying shouted.

Liu Nian also said: "Yes, there is strength in numbers. Let's see what we can do."

Jiang Tang looked at them and said with a smile, "That's perfect. You two can go to the village and ask if there's anyone selling eggs. Write down the exact quantity."

"Okay, we promise to complete the task!" The two said in unison, and then like two happy little birds, they followed Wenlan and ran towards the village.

Meng Si Ning watched the two people running very fast, and asked in confusion, "What should I do?"

Jiang Tang was busy sorting the list in his hand. Without even looking up, he replied, "You've been craving fish, haven't you? Why don't you go ask someone who can cast a net and get us a fish so we can barbecue tonight?"
