Time passed unknowingly and it was September in early autumn. The people on the 20th floor finally applied to take a day off on the same day.
Su Keke received two satellite calls early in the morning. One was from Lu Mei, saying that someone on the 20th floor was coming to the Lanshan Villa District to see them.
The other call really surprised Su Keke. It turned out to be from Stationmaster Lu.
He said the main person responsible for smashing the car had been found, the violent patrol leader Roger. Su Keke asked him to fix the car or she would complain, so he smashed Su Keke's car window in a fit of anger.
Now the patrol team has expelled him, and the car's tires and windows have been repaired by someone at the rescue station.
I didn’t know Su Keke’s phone number before so I had never been able to contact her. This time I found her through the satellite phone management department of the municipal office.
"Oh! Then I'll drive it back tomorrow. Thank you for troubling Stationmaster Lu."
After hanging up the phone, Su Keke remembered that she had an off-road vehicle parked in front of the rescue station.
But that team leader Luo is really good at finding excuses for himself, and he was so angry for a while, "Pah! It's obviously intentional! Expelling him is a bargain for him."
However, people from the 20th floor are coming over to play at noon today. Su Keke told Grandma Qiao the good news as soon as she got the call.
Grandma Joe has already started making a list for today's lunch.
"Grandma Qiao, do you think we should invite Qin Xiu and the others to come over for lunch? We all know Aunt Lu and the others, so it will be more lively with more people!"
Su Keke held the glutinous rice balls in her arms and watched Grandma Qiao holding paper and pen, making corrections as carefully as a student taking an exam.
"Sure! Of course! I haven't seen the cute little Yingying for a long time."
Grandma Qiao put down her pen and urged Su Keke to go to the villa next door and shout as soon as possible, otherwise if she went to shout at dinner time, lunch would have been ready.
"Okay, okay! I'll go right away! Grandma Qiao, wait for me to come back and help you!"
Su Keke put Tangyuan down and let it play by itself. She drove the car out of the space and drove towards Qin Xiu’s Villa No. 6.
Although their two families are next-door neighbors, they are still 1 kilometer apart. If they walk, it will take at least ten minutes. It is faster to drive.
When Su Keke arrived at Qin Xiu's house, Qin Yufei was writing and drawing with Yingying on an outdoor leisure chair.
Su Keke asked them to come over for lunch at noon, and Qin Yufei happily agreed.
"Xiao Xiu is upstairs, why don't you go upstairs and sit for a while!" Qin Yufei pointed upstairs and said with a smile.
"Sister Keke! Let me take you to see your uncle! He's writing a book, and my mom won't let me disturb him!"
Yingying pouts as she runs over, grabs Su Keke's hand, and starts reporting to her mother.
"Yingying, be good. If your uncle is busy, we shouldn't bother him. Sister Keke will take you to play with Tangyuan, okay?"
Su Keke squatted down and said while looking at Yingying's big, twinkling eyes.
"Okay, okay! I haven't played with Tangyuan for a long time!"
Yingying ran to Qin Yufei again, "Mom! Can I go play with Tangyuan now?"
"If you want to go play, go with Sister Coco first. Mom and uncle will come to see you later."
Qin Yufei touched Yingying's head and handed her to Su Keke.
"Sister Qin! We'll leave first, you and Qin Xiu should come over soon!"
Su Keke took Yingying into the car and shouted loudly when she was about to drive away.
"Then Yingying, thank you for your help! Xiaoxiu will definitely be happy if he knows that he is going to your house for dinner."
When Qin Yufei talked about her younger brother, she gave Su Keke an ambiguous smile.
Su Keke was so shocked by what she saw that she stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away with a whoosh.
As soon as she returned to Villa No. 5, Yingying shouted into the house, "Grandma Qiao! Tangyuan! Grandma Qiao! Tangyuan!"
"Yingying, run slower! Be careful not to fall!" Su Keke ran after Yingying like a worried old mother.
While munching on some delicious freeze-dried rice dumplings in the living room, my ears suddenly pricked up and I heard Yingying's voice. I quickly ran out of the living room.
"Yingying is here!" Grandma Qiao also had a smile on her face, holding a written menu in her hand, watching little Yingying running towards her happily.
Meow… meow…
Tangyuan held a small piece of frozen food in his chubby paws and rubbed it into Yingying's hand like he was offering a treasure.
"Tangyuan! Thank you for the freeze-dried food!" Yingying picked up Tangyuan, took the freeze-dried food and stuffed it into Tangyuan's mouth.
"Meow meow...Ahhh..." Tangyuan talked while eating freeze-dried food, his eyes full of happy little stars.
Su Keke asked Yingying and Tangyuan to go to the living room to play. She took the menu that Grandma Qiao had made and went to the space to choose ingredients.
Grandma Qiao’s menu is divided into five major categories: cold dishes, fruits, hot dishes, soups, and desserts.
Su Keke took a closer look and was shocked. Grandma Qiao's table was even richer than the banquet at the hotel.
There are eight cold dishes: duck tongue with soy sauce, drunken crab, shredded jellyfish, braised chicken gizzards, honey chicken feet, poached chicken, braised pork tripe, and spiced beef.
Six kinds of fruits: strawberry, grape, mango, watermelon, cherry and kiwi.
There are ten hot dishes, including fried shrimp with seasonal vegetables, secret steak, king prawns with tomato sauce, delicious roast chicken, pepper and salt king crab, scallion oil abalone, steamed sea bass, stir-fried squid, garlic okra, and fried yam with black fungus.
There are three soups: black chicken soup, sea cucumber soup, and mushroom soup.
Two desserts, apple crisp and black forest cake.
Su Keke was dazzled by the sight, so she simply followed the menu and picked out the cold dishes and fruits first.
Several cold dishes need to be braised, sauced, or boiled, only the drunken crabs were marinated by Grandma Qiao a few days ago.
When Grandma Qiao saw the ingredients, she started to get busy in the kitchen. The two pots on the gas stove were not enough for Grandma Qiao, so Su Keke went to the space and took out two gas stoves.
Boiled chicken is more troublesome to prepare, as it needs to be boiled and blanched three times. Grandma Qiao went to process the chicken first.
Su Keke washed all the fruits and put them on plates one by one.
Su Keke knew how to make honey-glazed chicken feet, so she volunteered to ask Grandma Qiao for the job.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen for more than two hours before they finished preparing all the dishes on the menu.
Every time Grandma Qiao finished cooking a dish, she would ask Su Keke to put it into the space first.
This way, when it’s time to eat, the food will still be hot.
Qin Xiu and Qin Yufei lived nearby, so they came over for lunch at 11 a.m. with some dry goods.
"We're just having a quick meal, why did you bring anything with you? Put it back in your car!"
Grandma Qiao pushed back the dried shrimps and dried mushrooms that Qin Yufei was holding. She and Su Keke had no shortage of food, so they really couldn't accept these things.
"Grandma Qiao, it's just a small token of your appreciation. If you don't accept it, we will be embarrassed to eat this meal."
Qin Yufei pretended to be angry, as if saying, "If you don't accept my things, I'm going home." Su Keke and Grandma Qiao had no choice but to accept them first.
