Xu Lin glanced down at their clothes and saw that they were indeed matching outfits. Not only the clothes, but also the pants and shoes. They had bought them when they went to the supermarket separately to buy things during the heavy rain, only the colors were different. No wonder it caused the misunderstanding.
"We're not..."
"The water's boiling, which should we put in first?" Zhou Pin interrupted Xu Lin before she could say anything.
"Let's cook the cabbage and glass noodles first. It's been so long since we've had any green vegetables!" Zheng Ming quickly said.
The group tacitly changed the subject and started talking about the weather.
"It must be -60°C now, not to mention me, even my ancestors probably never experienced such temperatures. We've witnessed history, hehe." Zheng Ming said carefree.
"I don't know when this weather will end," Old Liu sighed.
"The current temperature is almost at the limit that the human body can withstand. If nature doesn't want humanity to go extinct, it shouldn't continue to get colder," Sun Wei said calmly.
Xu Lin glanced at Zhou Pin: This Sun Wei is quite capable.
"No matter what, it's fate that we're together in the face of such a natural disaster. Let's support each other and make things better in the future!" Zeiss said.
The men chatted about the weather, while the women talked about growing vegetables and gossiping.
"Aunt Ji, your bean sprouts are growing so well! I happen to have a pound of soybeans at home. Could you teach me how to grow them? Xiao Zhi hasn't had any green vegetables in ages," Zhang Min said.
"Xiao Zhang, let me tell you, this is really easy..."
"Xiao Dai, what are your plans for the future?" Aunt Wu, Sun Wei's mother, asked Miss Dai.
"I'm thinking of going to Beijing to find my husband and children when the weather gets better," Ms. Dai said calmly.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine. But even if you're anxious, you should wait until social order is stable before you go. Otherwise, if something happens on the way, it will be a loss."
"I know Aunt Wu, and thank you all for taking care of me recently."
"Xu Lin, how old are you?" Wang Jing asked.
"25"
“You’re two years older than me, so I’ll call you Sister Xu Lin. You’re amazing, still having cabbage at this time of year,” Wang Jing said while eating the cabbage in her bowl.
"It was a coincidence; we found it in a cellar at a farmhouse before."
"You and Mr. Zhou are really not a couple?" Wang Jing asked with a gossipy look. There was no internet or electricity, and nothing else to do, so she finally had some gossip to talk about.
"No, we just met before the rainstorm."
“I think you two are a good match, and Mr. Zhou should like you,” Wang Jing whispered in Xu Lin’s ear.
Xu Lin smiled at Wang Jing, clearly not believing her.
“Don’t doubt me, I’m usually very good at judging people. From the moment you came in, his eyes have been glued to you. When you took off your coat, he took it from you and put it away. When you talk to him, he puts down what he’s doing to listen to you attentively. And he’s willing to wear matching outfits with you.” Wang Jing’s analysis was very logical.
"I bought the clothes at the mall before, I just grabbed them." Of all the things she said, this was the only one Xu Lin could refute.
"So you admit the others are right? Actually, you two are quite a good match. We all thought you two were a couple before."
"What are you two whispering about? The vegetables are almost all gone!" said Grandma Ji.
"Hey, my luncheon meat! Zheng Ming, have you had enough of living?!"
Wang Jing was so engrossed in her conversation that she didn't notice the food in the pot was almost gone, and that Zheng Ming had scooped away her favorite luncheon meat.
