When the three of them returned, Jiang Xiaomei's meal was not yet cooked.
Fortunately, when Chen Yan left at noon, he specifically told Jiang Xiaomei to remember to cook for him, otherwise, he would have helped but still be hungry.
......
Friday soon arrived, and Uncle Zhou, Aunt Pei and others set out early in the morning.
Jiang Jianguo also sent them on the train with a lot of luggage before he could go home with peace of mind.
"Sister Ning, Uncle Zhou and the others will arrive at seven o'clock, right?"
Jiang Xiaomei had asked this question many times this morning.
Jiang Ning nodded patiently: "Well, when the time comes, Chen Yan and my second brother will go to pick them up, and we will cook at home."
"Then we can make a little less skewers today so that we don't have too much to sell out."
Jiang Xiaomei was a little worried that if she made too many skewers, Chen Yan and Jiang Weimin would not be able to leave on time to pick up Uncle Zhou and the others.
"Don't worry, little sister. The four of us will go to sell skewers today, so you don't have to worry about the time."
Jiang Weimin shook his head, still stringing dishes with his hands.
"Now all you need to do is focus on skewering the food. We'll leave early and it will be done in no time. Don't worry about anything else now."
Jiang Xiaomei didn't take Jiang Weimin's words to heart. Instead, she said, "Second brother, your sister-in-law is coming over. Why don't I see you excited? You can still sit here and cook calmly. Don't you miss them?"
"It's not that I don't miss them, but there's still so much time left, and they can't come to us all at once. We might as well hurry up and get things done. Then we can go sell skewers early in the afternoon, and pick them up after we've sold them."
Jiang Ning also nodded: "Little sister, second brother is right. Anyway, they can't get to us right away, so we should just do what we need to do honestly. Time flies by, and you keep talking about it, which makes time go by so slowly."
Jiang Xiaomei listened to what Jiang Weimin and Jiang Ning said to her and found that what they said made some sense, so she also started to skewer the dishes seriously.
Without Jiang Xiaomei's chattering in their ears, their movements became faster and faster, and soon the three of them had finished putting all the vegetables on the skewer.
Jiang Xiaomei and Jiang Weimin started to braise the skewers again, while Jiang Ning went to make lunch first.
After a while, Chen Yan finished his work and arrived at their house.
"Brother Yan, why are you here so early?" Jiang Xiaomei asked Chen Yan, who was panting.
Chen Yan took a breath and said slowly, "I was worried that you three would be slow, so I rushed over right after class. I'm not too late, am I?"
Jiang Weimin waved his hand: "It's not too late, come and help."
Chen Yan put down the bag in her hand, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, rolled up her sleeves and started helping Jiang Weimin with the work.
"Little sister, go help your sister cook. Your brother Yan and I are here, we can handle it."
Jiang Xiaomei nodded and walked into the kitchen.
"Sister Ning, Brother Yan is here, so we need to cook more rice, otherwise there won't be enough to eat later."
Jiang Xiaomei sat in front of the stove, lighting the fire and spoke to Jiang Ning who was cutting vegetables.
Jiang Ning nodded: "I know, don't worry, there is enough food and vegetables for us to eat, you don't have to worry. If you have nothing to do, come and help me wash the vegetables."
Jiang Xiaomei nodded: "Okay!"
With the help of Jiang Xiaomei, Jiang Ning quickly prepared the meal.
"Little sister, set the table and call them to eat."
Jiang Xiaomei walked out and said to Chen Yan and Jiang Weimin who were busy, "Second brother, Brother Yan, Sister Ning's meal is ready. Let's eat first and come back after we're done."
Jiang Weimin nodded: "Okay, let's finish the things we have and then come over for dinner."
"Okay, hurry up, I'll go help Sister Ning first."
After saying that, Jiang Xiaomei went back to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Jiang Weimin picked up the last of the skewers from the pot and said, "Okay, Chen Yan, let's go eat first. Come back after you're done. It's fine to leave it like this."
Chen Yan nodded, and the two of them quickly washed their hands and went to eat.
After they finished their meal, Jiang Weimin and Chen Yan started to get busy, Jiang Xiaomei was busy cleaning up, and Jiang Ning prepared the dinner in advance.
Otherwise, if we wait until they finish setting up their stalls and come back to do these things, it will be a bit late.
The four of them divided the work and worked together very quickly. They had finished everything before four o'clock.
Jiang Ning looked at today's task - skewers. "We'll go out at four o'clock today. While the workers are still working, we can sell some to the surrounding areas. That way, we can sell out faster."
All three had no objection: "Okay, no problem."
Jiang Xiaomei smiled and said, "I have no objection even if we leave now. We can sell out quickly and go home early."
Jiang Weimin couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiang Xiaomei.
"Brother, what are you laughing at? Am I wrong? You went home before summer vacation, and it hasn't been three months since you and sister-in-law were separated. It's great to see each other again. But the three of us haven't been home for almost a year. Knowing that Uncle Zhou and the others are coming over, shouldn't I be happy? And you're still laughing here!"
Jiang Weimin waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not what I meant. I miss them too. Don't say anything nonsense."
Jiang Ning looked at them and couldn't help but said, "Okay, second brother, stop teasing me."
Jiang Weimin was laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. "Okay, okay, I won't tease her anymore."
Chen Yan, who had been silent for a long time, also said, "Okay, let's get ready and go."
Jiang Ning nodded.
Soon the four of them arrived at the industrial park.
"Boss Jiang, why are you here so early today? I just happened to be passing by and wanted to buy some of your skewers."
Jiang Weimin smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Li, what do you want?"
Sister Li pointed at the things she wanted, and Chen Yan quickly packed up everything she needed.
Soon, people came over one after another to buy skewers.
Jiang Ning and his team didn't have a moment of rest. Before five o'clock, they had sold one-third of the skewers.
Jiang Xiaomei looked very proud: "Sister Ning, it looks like we can go home around 5:30 today, at least not later than 6 o'clock."
Jiang Weimin didn't argue this time. Instead, he nodded in agreement: "That's about right. We should be basically sold out by 5:30."
Chen Yan was busy packing for others and did not participate in the conversation.
"Okay, it's almost five o'clock now, cheer up."
Soon it was five o'clock.
Jiang Ning and his friends’ skewers were sold out in no time.
In less than half an hour, the four of them could go home.
It was still early, so Jiang Weimin and Chen Yan did not go directly to the train station, but sent the two girls home first.
