Although the food street is still ten days away from opening, the people of Xingfu Community have been extremely busy during these ten days, making various small items for the food street every day.
So the neighborhood is bustling with people coming and going.
Some people are responsible for making banners and small decorative flowers, while others take care of potted plants and make pots and pans.
Although everyone looked tired, they were all genuinely smiling.
When Zhan Siyu and Nangong Chen entered the residential area, they saw that everyone inside was beaming with happiness.
They both genuinely laughed; they hadn't felt this joyful atmosphere in so long.
"This food street project is really important. Whether it's for the future or for everyone in the Xingfu Community, it's like a timely rain after a long drought!"
Nangong Chen breathed a sigh of relief; Nan Xiangwan's decision was indeed the right one.
At first, he had some doubts about whether the food street project could succeed, or what kind of obstacles the project would face.
Especially when Nan Xiangwan, Ouyang Qian, and dozens of other pregnant women in the community are all pregnant, projects like the food street have to be postponed, otherwise something bad could easily happen.
Nangong Chen originally wanted Zhan Siyu to first advance the homestead project, secure investment from various parties, and then prepare for the food street.
By then, most of the children in the Happiness Community had probably been born, so Nan Xiangwan would have some free time.
But to his surprise, Nan Xiangwan insisted on pushing forward with the food street project and even wanted to personally handle it, leaving Nangong Chen with no way to stop him.
Even Zhan Siyu was persuaded, so Nangong Chen naturally had nothing to say.
"Yes, I knew my wife made the right choice, so I've always stood behind her and supported her!"
"Look at how vibrant the whole neighborhood is now! Everyone's face is filled with anticipation for the future. That's what hope is!"
"When I was at the experimental base, no matter what difficulties I encountered, as long as I thought about my wife and children waiting at home, what difficulties couldn't I overcome?" Zhan Siyu said from the bottom of his heart.
Nangong Chen smiled and agreed with Zhan Siyu's statement.
Just as the two were enjoying the atmosphere, Nan Haochen saw two familiar figures at the door.
At first, he thought he was seeing things, since Zhan Siyu hadn't said he was coming back, and he should be at the military base right now.
Nan Haochen rubbed his eyes and realized that he hadn't seen wrong; there really were two people standing there, and those two figures were very familiar.
He patted Nan Xiangwan next to him, "Sis, look at this!"
Nan Xiangwan was busy with something at the time, so she reluctantly opened his hand.
"What are you doing? You brat, instead of helping, you're just causing trouble, aren't you?" Nan Xiangwan said with a hint of disdain.
Nan Haochen said, "No, I saw my brother-in-law!"
Nan Xiangwan thought this was a joke, since Zhan Siyu hadn't contacted him for half a month while he was at the research base. However, they were both busy with their own things and only thought of each other when they had a spare moment.
Therefore, she certainly wouldn't believe what Nan Haochen said.
"I've been so busy today, are you still messing with me?"
“If it’s really that salty, then we might as well wash this basket of potatoes and peel them…” Nan Xiangwan said, looking up.
But he didn't continue speaking because he also saw two familiar voices at the entrance of the community.
After only a two-second pause, Nan Xiangwan immediately put the ingredients back on the table.
After all, he knew the ingredients were precious and dared not leave them lying around. No matter how excited he was, the safety of the ingredients was always his top priority.
After placing the ingredients, he took two steps back and slowly walked towards the entrance of the residential area.
Zhan Siyu also saw Nan Xiangwan's actions, so he opened his arms.
Nan Xiangwan quickly ran up and hugged Zhan Siyu.
"Why are you back? Didn't you say that research project would last at least thirty days? I said I'd bring you some food, but the general said the secret research institute isn't open to the public. I was worried you'd have to eat nutritional supplements for thirty days..."
Nan Xiangwan rambled on, but what she really was saying was expressing her longing.
Zhan Siyu hugged her tightly and said, "Thanks to my outstanding performance, I got a two-week vacation. I definitely have to be with you for the opening of the food street!"
Is this news surprising enough?
Nangong Chen deliberately didn't tell Nan Xiangwan the news beforehand, because he wanted to give them a surprise.
At this moment, Ye Chaoqun also noticed the change at the entrance of the community. He turned his head and saw the person he had been thinking about all along.
Ye Chaoqun was almost going crazy. He ran to Nangong Chen as fast as he could.
"You're actually back? My grandpa said he couldn't see you, and I was even angry with him. When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Ye Chaoqun was also very happy.
Nangong Chen smiled and told him about the two-week break he would be taking.
"Zhan-ge and I both have a two-week vacation. After all, the food street is opening, and we definitely have to come back to help!" Nangong Chen said.
Ye Chaoqun was as happy as a child, which meant that he would be able to spend half a month with Nangong Chen.
"That's great, that's really great! From now on, I'll have to come to the food street to help out every day!" Ye Chaoqun said.
When they saw the two of them return to Happiness Community, everyone applauded.
Normally, Nan Xiangwan could occasionally go to the experimental base to see Zhan Siyu, but the people in Xingfu Community rarely saw him. However, they knew very well that Zhan Siyu was their true savior.
If it weren't for Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan, they would likely have died on Water Blue Star.
Even on this Rose Star, Zhan Siyu is the one who helps them create a better life.
Zhan Siyu noticed that the atmosphere in Xingfu Community was a bit serious, so he cracked a few jokes with them.
"Everyone, don't be so serious, okay? I finally got to come back for a meal, don't treat me like a monster!" Zhan Siyu said.
Nan Haochen quickly stepped forward and, imitating Zhan Siyu, cracked a few jokes with everyone, which eased the atmosphere.
"You two are back just in time. You probably haven't eaten much before, have you been taking nutritional supplements all this time?"
"I just made a few new dishes, why don't you come and try them!"
"Qianqian, it's getting late. You have a habit of having afternoon tea, why don't you come over?" Nan Xiangwan said.
Zhan Siyu nodded and took Nan Xiangwan's hand as they walked into the makeshift kitchen.
