"Everyone is here, let's eat first!"
Grandma Qiao and Su Keke did not directly answer Shi Huan's question, but kept asking everyone to sit down and eat first.
Shi Huan didn't think it was a big deal. As the saying goes, "If you are not active when eating, there is something wrong with your mind."
Except for Lu Mei, everyone else has already started eating beef and tripe enthusiastically.
"Aunt Lu! Eat quickly, or the beef will be gone."
Su Keke used a large colander to scoop a large spoonful of beef from the spicy pot for Lu Mei. She knew that Lu Mei, like Grandma Qiao, liked spicy food.
"Good! Coco is still thoughtful!" Lu Mei ate a piece of beef that Su Keke picked for her, and glanced at her son. The boy was eating happily by himself.
"Come on, Xiao Meng! Let's drink red wine today!" Chen Da and Meng Yi have become drinking buddies now.
The beer that they bought from the supermarket for free during the super typhoon was secretly drunk by these two people. Because of this, Lu Mei scolded Chen Da a lot.
Today's hotpot can be said to be the most sumptuous meal they have had since the natural disaster. Although no one can figure out where Su Keke and Grandma Qiao got these fresh ingredients from?
"Ah! This hot pot is so delicious! Why do I feel like I'm dreaming!"
Chen Li stuffed a big mouthful of tripe into his mouth and spoke while eating.
"I feel like I'm dreaming too. Where can you find such fresh shrimp and beef nowadays?"
Shi Huan looked at Su Keke with his big eyes blinking, as if he was confirming with her whether he was dreaming.
"Ah... it hurts... Mom! Why are you pinching me?" Chen Li pointed at Lu Mei with chopsticks and shouted.
"Didn't you say it felt like a dream? Then I'll let you feel whether you are dreaming or not!"
Lu Mei looked at Chen Li and responded in a particularly domineering manner.
"I was just joking, but you actually pinched me. My legs are bruised."
Chen Li was picking up meat from the hot pot with one hand and rubbing his thigh with the other hand. He looked like a bullied young wife who had been hungry for several days.
Shi Huan quickly pulled her leg that was close to Lu Mei towards herself, fearing that Lu Mei would also pinch her leg for health care.
"Hurry up and eat the food. These meatballs are cooked. If anyone wants to eat them, take them away quickly!"
Grandma Qiao used a colander to scoop a lot of beef balls from the clear soup pot.
“I want to eat!”
“I want to eat too!”
Su Keke and Chen Li both handed their bowls to Grandma Qiao.
Lu Mei then put rapeseed and enoki mushrooms into the pot, reminding her son to eat more vegetables, not just focus on the meat, but also leave some for others.
When everyone was half full, Su Keke slowly spoke and told them that she and Grandma Qiao were going to move to the Lanshan villa area.
"What? Coco, you guys are moving away?"
Chen Li suddenly felt that the meatball in his mouth no longer tasted good. Why did Keke suddenly want to move out when they were living there so well?
"Coco! Are you kidding us?"
Shi Huan is a very emotional person, and tears come easily, which makes Su Keke want to cry.
Lu Mei didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Keke silently, as if she had guessed that Su Keke and Grandma Qiao were going to leave.
Meng Yi and Chen Da also put down their wine glasses. They felt that the news came so suddenly. They couldn't understand why they had to move when they were living well.
"We know that this is a bit sudden. The main reason is that the security there is better. The world is in chaos now, so Coco and I want to move to a safer place."
Grandma Qiao stood up and pulled Su Keke aside to explain to everyone.
There was a moment of silence at the scene, and the soup in the double-flavored pot was still boiling.
Everyone knew what Lanshan Villa District was, and living there was certainly better than living on the 20th floor. But everyone was reluctant to leave Su Keke and Grandma Qiao.
"Everyone, don't be silent, eat quickly! Grandma Qiao and I will come back to see you!"
Su Keke forced a smile and picked up the slotted spoon to add food to everyone's bowls. "Come on! Everyone, eat the mantis shrimps. They are so fresh. These dishes were obtained by Grandma Qiao and I with great effort. It will be a waste if you don't eat them."
"Hmm! This mantis shrimp has a lot of meat and shrimp paste!" Lu Mei was the first one to grab the mantis shrimp that Su Keke put in her bowl, peeled off the shell and started eating.
Among so many people, only Lu Mei lives the most clearly and is the most open-minded.
The saying "All good things must come to an end" has been around since ancient times, so she could only smile and wish Su Keke and Grandma Qiao well as they departed.
"Auntie Lu, another one!" Su Keke picked up another mantis shrimp for Lu Mei.
By this time, everyone else had also gradually recovered and realized that not everyone could live in Lanshan Villa. It was a great thing that Su Keke and Grandma Qiao could move in, and everyone should wish them well.
"Come on! Everyone wish Aunt Qiao and Coco a smooth move!"
Lu Mei poured herself a full glass of red wine and stood up to toast Su Keke and Grandma Qiao.
"Good! Moving went smoothly!"
“The move went smoothly!”
Everyone stood up and clinked their glasses.
Su Keke, Grandma Qiao and Shi Huan drank Coke, and the other four drank red wine, and they all drank it all in one gulp.
As the saying goes, "The deeper the feelings, the more you drink!" Let's drink to our heart's content tonight!
"Ah! These dishes are almost cooked. If anyone of you wants to eat them, grab them quickly and don't waste them!"
"I'll eat it! I love vegetables!"
"Are there any more fat beef?"
"Xiao Meng, come on, fill up your glass!"
…
That night, the people on the 20th floor completely forgot about the natural disaster. They were just a table of good friends eating hotpot together, and the most important thing was to eat and drink well.
In the end, the four people who had been drinking were helped back to sleep by the three people who hadn't drunk.
After settling them all down, Shi Huan ran over to hug Su Keke and Grandma Qiao and said, "I will miss you!"
"We too, please take care of yourselves!"
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao stood at the door of 2001 and watched Shi Huan close the door.
At this moment, the high-intensity flashlight that Su Keke hung above the corridor suddenly ran out of battery, and the corridor became pitch dark.
"Let's go back to the house! Fate comes and goes, sometimes it only takes a thought to come together or separate!"
"good!"
When Su Keke and Grandma Qiao returned to the house, Tangyuan had already fallen asleep in its little nest after eating and drinking its fill.
They began to quietly clean up the plates and dishes on the table. Su Keke didn't know why, but tears suddenly started falling down her face.
In fact, she was reluctant to leave those people on the 20th floor who had lived together. Grandma Qiao's eyes were a little moist. She patted Su Keke's shoulder and said, "You have to believe that tomorrow will be better! We are only parting with them for a short time. The natural disaster will eventually pass, and we will definitely reunite by then."
"Will it pass?" Su Keke asked back, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"It will pass! As long as we have this belief in our hearts, everything is possible!"
Grandma Qiao's words gave Su Keke the courage to overcome the natural disaster.
