After chatting for a while, everyone went to unload the supplies from the truck.
After all the items were piled up in the second-floor storeroom, Chen Siyu took the boy to her great-grandmother to get the keys to the other rooms.
The other four remained in the kitchen.
Cheng Zhi boiled a pot of water and prepared to boil another pot.
Huang Yiyi, standing next to her, was still counting things on her fingers.
Xiao Feiran and Zheng Wan sat down behind them, watching them quietly without saying a word.
Cheng Zhi, with her back to them, didn't notice the gaze, but Huang Yiyi saw it all clearly.
She touched her face, then looked at the back of Cheng Zhi's head, and asked suspiciously, "Something's wrong with you two. Why are you staring at us? Is there something on my face?"
Zheng Wan smiled without saying a word, and placed her hands on the still-warm brazier to warm them.
Xiao Feiran, who was next to Zheng Wan, moved her stool back a little and put her hand under the hood of Zheng Wan's down jacket. "I wonder who's acting strange."
“That must be Chen Yiyi and Qi Yanche!” Huang Yiyi walked over immediately. “Although I admit they encountered a lot of difficulties along the way, I don’t think it would take that many days. Don’t you think that’s a bit strange?”
Zheng Wan nodded, "It is quite strange, but since they are all back, there's nothing we can't get out of them. You were really anxious just now; I was afraid you would rush up and eat Chen Yiyi alive."
Xiao Feiran warmed his hands, then pretended to cough twice, trying to attract the attention of the quiet lady in front of the stove. "Ms. Cheng Zhi, have you lost your connection? Why haven't you said a word?"
Cheng Zhi shrugged and said slowly, "What do I need to say? Pity them, doubt them, or rush up and confront them?"
Judging from Cheng Zhi's tone, she didn't seem angry anymore.
To confirm, Xiao Feiran even walked over to look at her face, and indeed there wasn't a trace of anger in her.
"Goodness, why did you suddenly change your attitude?" Xiao Feiran asked, puzzled.
Cheng Zhi smiled and said, "We have to thank Wanzi for this. Now that we're back, what can't we get out of them? They'll be less vigilant in a couple of days... hahaha!"
Xiao Feiran quickly covered her mouth, "Don't laugh when you're saying things like that. You look like you've been possessed by those two female robbers, it's kind of scary."
Huang Yiyi, sitting in the back row, thought the plan was good. "It's a good idea, but who's going to ask? And who are they going to ask?"
Cheng Zhi put down the fire tongs and thought for a while. "We probably won't get anything out of Qi Yanche and Chen Yiyi, so we'll have to ask Lu Yuan and Shen Lingfeng. Which of them is easier to fool?"
All four fell into deep thought, and finally concluded that the two were evenly matched.
Xiao Feiran slapped his thigh, "Then let's go and get information out of Lu Yuan, Zheng Wan, go!"
When Zheng Wan heard that this task of getting information out of others had fallen to her, she was extremely unwilling. "Why me? I don't want to do this. I've been helping them get information out of each other since we were little. Why am I the one doing it again?"
Xiao Feiran had been waiting for these words. She nodded heavily. "This is exactly what you need. You have a wealth of experience, and with Lu Yuan involved, you'll definitely get it right every time."
That makes perfect sense. After Xiao Feiran said that, everyone felt that Zheng Wan was the perfect candidate for the job.
Cheng Zhi turned her head, took Zheng Wan's hand and patted it, "Ms. Zheng Wan, codename Wanzi, this mission depends entirely on you. The organization awaits your good news!"
Zheng Wan turned her head away, not wanting to pay any attention to them at all.
Huang Yiyi reached out and gently straightened her head, then pressed her face against hers again and asked if she had confidence.
Zheng Wan wanted to escape from the clutches of this group, so she started to give a perfunctory answer, "I'm confident that I can bring the news out. Then we'll share the latest information in Huang Yiyi's room."
Xiao Feiran, who was standing next to him, nodded in satisfaction. "Work hard, and I'll give you a promotion and a raise when you get back."
Zheng Wan: "..." Is this going to go on forever?!
When it was time for dinner, everyone started cooking.
The boys also came down and scattered to help in each family's kitchen.
Lu Yuan's goal was quite clear. He went straight to Zheng Wan's house after getting off the bus and took care of everything, from washing and chopping vegetables to starting the fire.
If he hadn't never used a traditional earthen stove before and was afraid of burning the food, he would have cooked the vegetables himself.
Despite the cold weather, he was busy running around, and although he didn't break a sweat, his face turned red.
Since there was nothing else to do, Zheng Wan told him to go and rest for a while.
Lu Yuan refused to go, saying, "I have to watch the fire for you, and after I'm done cooking, I still have to pack and serve the dishes. Aren't these all chores?"
His little mouth was chattering away, and Zheng Wan didn't know what to say.
The sisters who were originally supposed to come and help are now peeking through the door.
The second sister pushed up her glasses. "You work very efficiently!"
Fourth Sister shook her head, "His real intention wasn't in the wine!"
The third sister snorted coldly, "He practically has those two words written all over his face."
His gaze shifted to his older sister, whose hands, gripping the door, were throbbing with blood. "This kid is no good!"
The four older sisters were secretly observing, and if this guy named Lu Yuan got even a centimeter closer to Zheng Wan, they would all rush up and subdue him on the spot.
But he remained very well-behaved until all the dishes were cooked.
Just as they were about to end their peeping, their father arrived. "What are you looking at here? Why don't you go in and help your sister?"
Fourth Sister's legs were numb from squatting, and she explained through gritted teeth, "We don't need to help anymore. That boy works really fast, he finished the work for the four of us... Hey! Where's Dad?!"
The second sister pointed to the kitchen and said with a smile, "Our father flew in when you mentioned that boy. Next time, open your eyes and speak, so you won't waste your breath."
