"Quack, quack, quack..." The duck with its feet tied kept shouting loudly, as if asking for help, or expressing its dissatisfaction.
"Let me catch you, right?"
"Everyone, come on, let's work together to catch the remaining guys..."
"good..."
"Hey hey hey...here's my dinner..."
Then, the yard was filled with the sounds of running footsteps, chickens and ducks flapping their feet and shouting again.
Erlangzi and the Wolf King, who were standing by, saw Zhou Zhiguo and his group having fun and wanted to rush over to join them several times, but Chen Ruoruo forcibly grabbed their ears or tails and stopped them in time.
The few guys could only huddle nearby and watch with a very aggrieved look on their faces, sweeping the ground with their tails, and drooping their eyelids, no longer looking at Chen Ruoruo.
Chen Ruoruo found this funny and took out some snacks from the space and fed them to the cats. Only then did the cats happily grin at her and wag their tails to please her.
Finally, two hours later, the group caught all six guys, tied them up, and sat aside to rest in silence.
"Before, I was the one who spoke unpleasantly, please don't mind..."
“Actually, we have problems too…”
"Then let's just forget about it..."
"Yeah, okay..."
Again, there was a silence.
“Puff…”
"You looked so funny just now, falling all over the place..."
“Hahahahahaha…”
"Hehehe... You haven't even reached that point yet... I don't know who fell and made a fool of himself..."
"Hahahahaha...your face..."
"Pfft... Aren't you the same..."
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
A group of people looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter. For a moment, the whole yard was almost filled with laughter. At this moment, it seemed as if something had broken directly among everyone, and everyone seemed to have really become a whole.
"There's water here, pour it out and drink it yourself..." Chen Ruoruo looked at the group of people who were laughing happily, pointed at the kettle not far away, and said to them.
"Well, okay, thank you Ruoruo..." Then, several people came up and poured two glasses of water respectively. They drank while walking back and handed the other glass of water to another person.
"Thank you..." The person who was still sitting on the ground to rest saw the water handed to him by the visitor, and took it without hesitation and thanked him sincerely.
“So sweet…”
“It feels so good…”
"Yeah...indeed..."
After a while, a few more people stood up with kettles and helped everyone fill their empty cups.
Zhou Zhiguo, Han Xiao and Qi Jiang looked at the happy scene in front of them, then turned to look at the person sitting next to Erlangzi and touching his furry head again and again. After looking at each other, they stood up and walked over.
"Thank you..." Several people looked at Chen Ruoruo and thanked her sincerely.
"It's just a pot of water. Thank you for your hard work in preparing dinner..." Chen Ruoruo looked up at the few people, paused her hand movements, and then said with a smile.
"Okay..." several people responded.
Afterwards, when everyone had rested enough, they continued with the unfinished work, and the yard became lively again.
Although everyone was busy, it was unusually quiet. Only occasional sounds could be heard. Everyone subconsciously lowered their voices and movements, trying not to make too much noise, so the yard did not seem noisy.
And, with the help of Li Xue, Tao Wei and others, or to be more precise, Zhou Zhiguo accompanied Tao Wei and Li Xue, they started to wash rice and cook porridge.
At the same time, Li Xue took Tao Wei and a few others, took out everything in the hut, and started killing chickens and ducks and preparing fish and shrimps.
Qi Jiang took Xia Xiaoying and others to continue installing the fence door at the entrance of the small bungalow. After everything was done, they came over to help Li Xue.
Han Xiao, along with Mou Jiao, Ma Qian and others, busily reclaimed several plots of farmland next to the small bungalow, but the area of each plot of farmland was not large.
At the same time, they also considered that if the area of arable land was too large, firstly, Chen Ruoruo might not be willing to help them with irrigation at that time, and secondly, they planned to start with small plots of land to see the situation first.
Chen Ruoruo sat aside and watched quietly, leaning on Erlangzi, and fell asleep unknowingly. When the people around saw that Chen Ruoruo had fallen asleep, they moved their hands and feet more cautiously, and even moved the cooking stove to a farther place in order not to disturb Chen Ruoruo.
When Chen Ruoruo woke up again, she smelled the fragrance in the yard and immediately became alert. She stood up, looked around curiously, stretched her body, and then looked at the fool who was looking at her with a wronged look on his face. It seemed that she had to put a recliner in front of her.
At this time, Zhou Zhiguo and his men moved a large rectangular stone to the center of the yard. It was cleaned with water and filled with various plates and bowls filled with red, green and colorful things. Some of them were emitting wisps of white smoke.
Li Xue and others were still busy, stirring the pot with spatulas in their hands, while others were picking vegetables, cleaning up, or passing bowls and plates.
Chen Ruoruo stood up and walked over slowly, curiously looking at the dishes laid out on the rectangular slab. There were stir-fried diced chicken, boiled fish, Kung Pao chicken, duck stewed with potatoes, stir-fried duck with ginger, dry-pot chicken, steamed fish, double-pepper fish head, steamed sweet potatoes, dry-pot shrimp, boiled shrimp, stir-fried shredded potatoes with green peppers, potato chips, and even potato flowers...
The portion of each dish was very large, and one dish almost filled two or three plates. Chen Ruoruo saw that it was no wonder that they had to find such a large stone slab. The small table she had before was indeed not big enough.
"Ruoruo, are you awake?" Xia Xiaoying asked Chen Ruoruo with a smile when she saw her.
"Ruoruo, wait a minute, the dish will be ready soon. You can eat it first if you are hungry..." Li Xue said to Chen Ruoruo while stirring the wok
"How about it? Do you like these dishes?" Tao Wei brought over a plate of stir-fried mutant green leaves.
"Yeah..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Tao Wei and nodded at him.
"Isn't this too much?" Tao Wei asked nervously when he saw Chen Ruoruo looking at the table full of food and touching her head.
When he was helping Li Xue before, he always asked her to do less, but Li Xue insisted on doing more and he didn't stop her. Now he didn't know whether Chen Ruoruo would be angry when seeing this. After all, things are not as good as before and supplies cannot be consumed like this.
