With He Yan joining, they became supporting roles and could only help light the fire and add water.
Because He Yan is a mysophobia, he washes everything he touches again.
It would be better to let him do it himself.
While cooking, He Yan casually asked Meng Si Ning about her trip to Beijing.
"Comrade Meng, I heard you are going to Jing City?"
Meng Si Ning added a piece of firewood to the stove. "Yes, I was admitted to the translation department in Beijing. I plan to take my younger brother to live there. We will leave next week. I have to arrange his schooling in advance, and then I need to look for a house."
He Yan heard this and thought of something: "Didn't your department arrange housing?"
"Yes, it's a double room. It's not convenient for my younger brother and I to go there, and we have a lot of stuff."
"If you want to rent a house, my family has a house in Beijing. My second cousin used to live there to take care of my second uncle."
Jiang Tang asked in surprise, "Your second grandfather? He's quite old, right?"
He placed the washed vegetables on the chopping board, wiped his hands with a towel, and continued, "My mother's uncle has rented the house for many years and has lived there, and no one else has ever suspected anything.
My uncle is over 80 years old. He's going to live on the island with his son, so he's bringing his parents along. My mom called me yesterday and was still talking about how she was worried about asking my aunt to help with the house.
Meng Si Ning's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is the house far from the translation department? Is it convenient for Brother Lin to go to school?"
He Yan picked up the kitchen knife and methodically cut the vegetables, saying, "It's very close, only a dozen minutes' walk away. There's a school nearby, so it's convenient for picking up and dropping off Brother Lin. It's a small courtyard with three rooms, a west wing, a storeroom, and a separate kitchen."
Although the yard is small, it is quiet. When my cousin lived here, it was very clean. You can move in right away."
After hearing this, Meng Si Ning was a little tempted: "This house is indeed quite suitable, but will the rent be very expensive?"
He Yan smiled and waved his hand: "We're all acquaintances, so the rent is negotiable. Besides, the house is empty anyway, so renting it to you can not only help my family solve the problem, but also give you and Brother Lin a stable place to live, killing two birds with one stone."
Meng Si Ning thought to himself that this house was a timely help, and his face was full of joy. "He Yan, thank you so much! If I can rent this house, it will be a great help to me."
He Yan put the cut vegetables on a plate and said seriously, "It's a small matter. I'll call my mother tomorrow and settle this matter. You just need to focus on preparing to go to Beijing."
Jiang Tang praised He Yan from the side: "Ayan, you are so kind. If I hadn't known you, my bestie wouldn't have had such luck. In the end, it's all my credit."
Meng Si Ning nodded and said, "It's all thanks to you. Your boyfriend cooked for you today. Eat more."
He Yan laughed heartily on the side, his eyes tearing as he looked at Jiang Tang.
If Meng Si Ning and Lin Si Yun were not here at this moment, the two of them might be able to hug each other.
For lunch, I made steamed noodles, pork, beans, and bean sprouts.
He Yan was so complimented by Jiang Tang that he forgot to ask. He only remembered it while cooking and asked hurriedly, "Where did you get these bean sprouts? They are really good."
Meng Si Ning said hurriedly: "I bought it before I came here. It just happened to be in stock at the market, so I grabbed it."
He Yan nodded: "This noodle is definitely delicious today."
It was really delicious. After it came out of the pot, even little brother Lin ate a big bowl of it.
Jiang Tang complained inwardly that if she had known he was coming, she would have made more. She could store the remaining food in her space to eat later.
After dinner, He Yan took Lin Xiaodi to the room for a nap, and Meng Si Ning and Jiang Tang also went into the room.
The two of them were lying in bed thinking about what they would have He Yan do that night.
"Hey, it's great that you have a husband who can cook."
"It's good, but you can't keep using him like this. It'll tire him out. What if he doesn't want to move after we get married? Oh, he won't be the kind of husband who is the same before and after marriage."
Meng Si Ning patted her and said, "I don't think He Yan is that kind of person."
"Why?"
"Because he's a germaphobe."
"Oh, yes."
While the two were chatting, there was suddenly a sound in the space.
But only Jiangtang could hear the sound.
[Ding... Congratulations to the host, the mission has been completed, and the reward has been received.]
[Ding... Next mission: Help Shaluo Village achieve prosperity, with each household earning an average of ten yuan.]
Jiang Tang was originally very happy to receive the reward, but after hearing the new task from the system, he sat up and cursed.
Meng Si Ning was puzzled: "Are you crazy?"
"Yeah, guess what task the system just assigned me?"
"What mission?"
"Just after the Youcaoling Ridge ended, it asked me to help Shaluo Village become rich. I'll go."
Meng Si Ning smiled.
"You're still laughing."
"I think the mission system is a bit over the top, haha."
"Tsk, never mind, let's go and check out my reward first."
In an instant, the two entered the space.
Jiang Tang looked at her storage compartment.
One thousand yuan, a lot of tickets, some beef, and a lot of sugar and oil.
"My dear, the rewards you requested from the road builder have arrived. One thousand yuan and fifty coupons, mostly food coupons, some industrial coupons, and a watch as a reward."
Jiang Tang was satisfied. "That's not bad, but waiter, what kind of sign-in system is this? You think too highly of me. You think one Youcaoling is not enough, and you're asking me to go to Zhifu Shaluo Village."
[My dear, our system has been carefully considered. We believe in your ability and you will definitely be able to do it.]
