Xue Zhenzhen exclaimed, "He Zhiqing, you're such a spendthrift! You're going to eat up half a year's worth of food in one meal!"
He Wan laughed and said, "What, you're complaining even though I'm treating you to dinner?"
"I'm doing this for your sake." Although she felt sorry for him, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva several times as she looked at the braised pork and shrimp.
Su Ranran said, "You didn't do this on purpose, did you?" She pointed outside.
He Wan didn't answer, but she smiled.
Zhang Cuicao said, "It's too much of you to treat us to a meal. We can't possibly accept it. How about I give you some money instead?"
"Why would I give you money? Just eat whatever you want, I can afford it. Also, I went to your garden to pick some vegetables today."
Su Ranran said, "Go ahead and pick them. We can't possibly eat all the vegetables in our garden right now."
Xue Zhenzhen pointed to a plate of meat and exclaimed in surprise, "This can't be beef, can it?"
"yes."
"Oh my, I haven't had beef in years."
"Enough for today."
Where should we eat?
"Outside."
"No, that's too conspicuous and will attract unwanted attention."
"I did it just to spite Chen Qing."
Xue Zhenzhen said, "The aroma coming from your house just now is enough to make me angry. I just passed by and saw that there were eight dishes: six vegetable dishes and two meat dishes. One was stir-fried pork with green peppers, and the other was stewed whole chicken. There were three tables in total, and three chickens. Tsk tsk, her ostentatious feast is bound to cause gossip in the village."
"Praise her?"
"What praise? They're definitely going to say that their banquet is too good. If they start this trend, how will other families in the village prepare for their weddings? The village isn't as rich and well-off as her."
"The brigade leader, the party secretary, the deputy brigade leader, the accountant, and Aunt Juhua are all here. They're officiating at their wedding."
The group didn't go out; they just leaned against the windowsill and watched for a while.
Xue Zhenzhen asked, "Where did Chen Qing buy that red dress? The fabric is nice; you can't find it in the city."
Su Ranran said, "She can always bring out some overseas Chinese goods from time to time, I guess they're not from any legitimate channels."
Zhang Cuicao suddenly chimed in, "Liang Shurui is just so-so."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.
She felt uncomfortable seeing this and quickly explained, "I just suddenly realized it."
He Wan nodded: "Sister Cui Cao, you finally realized that he wasn't that great to begin with."
Su Ranran quickly chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. Although he's very refined, it always feels like something's missing."
He Wan said, "He lacks a bit of spirit and a bit of sunshine."
Her first love in high school was nothing like this; it was completely different.
Xue Zhenzhen said, "He's not as aloof as Shen Guoqing, nor does he have Shen Guoqing's beautiful eyes. Didn't Cui Cao notice that?"
Zhang Cuicao's face became somewhat unnatural when Shen Guoqing was mentioned.
He Wan let out a silent "Oh my!" to herself. Was something going on?
They originally planned to go out for a meal, but some people thought the food was too good and they were afraid people would be jealous. Besides, the brigade leader, the party secretary, and several other leaders were present. If they were to go out for a meal, should they let them have it or not?
I can't bear to part with it.
In the end, the girls refused to move out, and the four of them stayed at He Wan's place, eating to their hearts' content.
She ate even more than the men usually do, and after putting down her bowl, Xue Zhenzhen was too weak to walk.

Yun Shudai was busy from morning until afternoon.
The production crew selected items for her from niche brands, not just one. They would buy whatever suited her best.
Yun Shudai spent the entire afternoon discussing clothing with Sister Yao and the teachers from the clothing department.
Since most of the shoots were done indoors, the children wore mostly casual clothes and had their hairstyles quite relaxed.
Yun Shudai said she also has a few nice sets of loungewear, which she will bring to show the teachers tomorrow.
Just as she was discussing this with her teacher, a prominent blogger posted news about her online.
