Ruan Mengmeng, who grew up in an orphanage, and her good best friend Zhang Xinxin are a pair of childhood friends who grew up together.
Despite their different personalities, the two girls re...
It was a strange place, and the two of them came to Zhang Xinxin's home for the first time.
Ruan Mengmeng felt a little uncomfortable entering someone else's room when the owner was not at home.
Zhang Xinxin was very quick. It took him less than five minutes to bring out a plate of food.
"Why don't you go in?"
Seeing the brother and sister still standing there, she asked with some confusion.
"Waiting for you!"
Ruan Mengmeng followed her into the house.
Zhang Xinxin thought that her best friend missed her and wanted to see her all the time, and she felt happy inside instantly.
I have to say, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.
Seeing how happy she was, Ruan Mengmeng couldn't bear to tell her the truth, so she could only accept it as it was.
As soon as they entered the house and hadn't sat down yet, Bai Rong, who had finished cooking, followed them in.
She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and poured rice into the bowl.
"Xinxin, go get the two small stools from the kitchen and give them to Mengmeng and Zilong to sit on. The three of you can sit together later!"
When Ruan Mengmeng heard what Bai Rong said, she knew that Zhang Xinxin must have asked her mother to prepare dinner for two people, so she quickly refused.
"Auntie, we just came here after dinner, and our stomachs are still full. We're not hungry at all, and we really can't eat anymore!"
As she spoke, she patted her belly, feeling both amused and helpless, as if to show it to Bai Rong.
She was really full!
The reason for coming out here is, firstly, to get things done, and secondly, to help digest food.
Besides, I ate too much and couldn’t sleep at night!
Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, Bai Rong stopped trying to persuade her.
"Forget it this time, but next time, don't eat before you come. Then, try my cooking!"
Bai Rong is a capable woman. She doesn't like to play tricks and speaks in a practical way.
She said that she invited Ruan Mengmeng and her brother to come to her house to play and eat out of sincerity, and Ruan Mengmeng could feel her sincerity.
"Okay, next time for sure!"
Ruan Mengmeng made a promise-like agreement.
"Xinxin, put down your chopsticks. I'll go call your brother and the others to come and eat!"
Bai Rong served the rice and handed several pairs of chopsticks on the table to Zhang Xinxin.
"good!"
Zhang Xinxin took the chopsticks and worked seriously.
She knew that Ruan Mengmeng and her brother came to see her so late, probably because they had something to say.
However, Ruan Mengmeng didn't say anything now, which definitely means she is not in a hurry.
Then let’s wait until she finishes her meal!
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if we take a little longer!
The two people had a tacit understanding, one didn't ask and the other didn't say.
When Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai came over, they found that there were two more people in the room.
There was no change in Tian Kai. He sat opposite Zhang Xinxin as usual and started eating obediently.
Zhang Sinian, who was standing aside, secretly glanced at Ruan Mengmeng several times.
Recently, Tian Kai and his friends have been busy looking for things in the mountains, and he has no time to go to the Youth League Home to find her.
After not seeing her for a few days, he felt that the little girl seemed to have grown taller and her face seemed to have matured a lot.
The two of them worked hard in the mountains all day, but still didn't get any results.
Tomorrow, we have to go up the mountain to continue searching.
This batch of things is very important to the troops.
Moreover, no useful information has been sent back from there yet.
They have to rely on themselves and explore bit by bit.
Nowadays, technology is not advanced.
In the vast mountains, finding something is harder than climbing to the sky.
He and Tian Kai didn't find anything, and when they went up the mountain, they were scratched all over.
Just before dinner, he was hiding in the house treating his wounds!
……….
Ruan Mengmeng and her brother, who were sitting on the other side, were drinking water from cups.
Since the two of them had already eaten, Zhang Xinxin made each of them a cup of brown sugar water.
Although Ruan Mengmeng didn't like sweet things very much, in this era, the best treatment for guests was probably brown sugar water.
Not wanting to deny Zhang Xinxin and Bai Rong's kindness, she did not refuse.
As for asking Zhang Xinxin to accompany her to the village chief's house, she planned to wait until she finished dinner before talking about it.
During the meal, Zhang Sinian secretly and stealthily glanced at Ruan Mengmeng many times.
Others may not have noticed his hidden gaze, but Bai Rong is old and experienced, so how could she not notice it?
You little brat, are you attracted to that girl? I don’t know how many times you’ve sneaked glances at her while we were eating.
However, although she knew it, she did not say it out loud. She continued to sit there quietly eating, pretending not to notice what her son was thinking.
Ruan Mengmeng sat there drinking water, thinking about other things, and did not notice Zhang Sinian's gaze.
The meal was finished quickly. Zhang Xinxin wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Bai Rong stopped her.
"Go play with your friends, I'll clean up!"
As she spoke, Bai Rong pushed Zhang Xinxin away.
Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai also wanted to help, but were also rejected by Bai Rong.
The two of them were not in a hurry to go back into the house, so they could only sit aside and talk.
"By the way, you came to see me so late, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Xinxin then remembered that Ruan Mengmeng came to see him so late at night, and she was definitely not just here to visit.
"Well, I want you to accompany me to the village chief's house!"
Zhang Xinxin rolled his eyes a few times and remembered what Ruan Mengmeng had said some time ago about moving out.
"Are you planning to move out?"
It would be great if Ruan Mengmeng moved out!
I don’t have to live with those annoying people in the Youth League Home anymore.
In this way, it would be much more convenient for her to go and play with the other person.
Zhang Xinxin's eyes lit up and he raised both hands to approve of her approach.
"Well, that's what I mean. I also want to ask if I can switch to a job of cutting grass for pigs!"
Since we are bothering each other now, we might as well do both things at once.
After he finished speaking, before Zhang Xinxin could say anything, Zhang Sinian, who was standing beside him, put his clenched fist right hand to his lips and coughed dryly a few times.
“Ahem!”
Now, the four people around him looked at him.
"There's an empty house at the foot of the mountain behind our house. I heard it was once inhabited by an old hunter. You can go and take a look someday!"
He also learned about this from Zhang Wende!
When he came back from the village chief's house, he had originally planned to go to the house to take a look in advance.
As a result, I have been very busy recently and have no time to pay attention to this matter at all, so it has been delayed!
Zhang Sinian did not say that he had already asked the village chief.
He just mentioned it at the right time, and people who didn't know thought he was giving a kind reminder.
Only Tian Kai, who was standing by, stared at him with a strange look, then quickly looked away, pretending he knew nothing.
