Yu Sui did not refuse and ordered six dishes and a soup. Everyone had good appetites and ate everything without wasting any food.
Especially Xiao Nian, after leaving the store, he touched his belly with satisfaction and talked as he walked.
"Ever since I became friends with you guys, you've made me fat."
When he first came to Beijing from his hometown, he was as thin as a bamboo pole. In the past two years, he has gained weight visibly.
Zheng Xinyue looked him up and down and laughed.
"You better take it easy. Don't eat too much and become fat before you reach middle age. It will be difficult for you to find a wife then."
Yang Niannian laughed and joked, "Then you have to hurry up and get married while your looks are at their peak."
In fact, the two were just joking. Everyone knows that as long as Xiao Nian doesn't do anything stupid, he will have a bright future and many girls will want to marry him.
By the time he graduates, the matchmaker will be able to lower the threshold for him to marry her.
Xiao Nian passed the ball to Yu Sui, "Seniors are not in a hurry, so I am not in a hurry either. I have to build my career first and then start a family."
Zheng Xinyue brought up what Yang Niannian had said before, "Don't say it too early, fate cannot be stopped."
Suddenly thinking of something, she turned her head to look at Yu Sui and gossiped.
"Senior, I heard that Du Jiping wrote you a love letter. How do you feel about her?"
Yu Sui didn't expect Zheng Xinyue to be so well-informed. Seeing Yang Niannian looking at him curiously, he blushed slightly and explained in an unnatural manner.
"I have always been true to myself and I will not fall in love at school."
Zheng Xinyue reminded, “This Du Jiping has better character than Meng Ziyu.”
Yu Sui shook his head firmly, "It's not a character issue, I just don't have that intention. Maybe it's really like you said, fate hasn't arrived yet."
At this point, Yang Niannian also realized that Yu Sui had no emotional feelings for Du Jiping and felt it was inappropriate to continue asking.
So he changed the subject and asked Xiao Nian, "Have you booked a train ticket? When are you going back?"
"I booked a standing ticket for tomorrow morning. Luckily, I only have to stand for a few hours to get there." Xiao Nian said.
If he hadn't gone back home for the Chinese New Year, he wouldn't have wanted to go back this time. He could have earned a lot of money by staying in Beijing and working as a part-time worker for two months during the summer vacation.
Yang Niannian, "Standing for several hours is tiring. I have a small stool at home. You can take one and sit on it on the way!"
Xiao Nian was just hesitating whether to take it or not when Zheng Xinyue spoke up.
"Don't hesitate! Bring a stool and sit on it. It will be much more comfortable! Otherwise, your legs will be broken when you get home. It's not like you haven't been punished to stand in elementary school before. Have you forgotten how it felt?"
Xiao Nian was shocked, "How do you know I was punished to stand in the corner in elementary school?"
Zheng Xinyue snorted, "How many of you haven't been punished? My elementary school teacher was very strict. If you dozed off, talked, or fought with classmates in class, you would be punished by standing."
Yang Niannian and Yu Sui both laughed. The original owner and Yu Sui both had relatively quiet personalities and had never been punished to stand in the corner in elementary school. However, Xiao Nian and Zheng Xinyue had lively personalities and were often scolded.
The four of them were chatting so seriously that they didn't even notice until the bus had passed. Since it wasn't far anyway, they just walked back to digest their food.
After returning to the courtyard, as soon as Yang Niannian opened the gate, Xiao Nian started looking for Xiao Hei everywhere.
Zheng Xinyue said loudly.
"Don't look for him anymore. Brother Lu took Xiao Hei to the army overnight."
Xiao Nian was stunned, "Come here overnight?"
Zheng Xinyue nodded. "I thought Xiao Hei was stolen this morning and was so worried. Who knew that it was Brother Lu who took Xiao Hei away in the middle of the night? He was probably worried that when Nian Nian and I returned to Haicheng, Xiao Hei would be left unattended."
Xiao Nian felt very strange and questioned.
"Didn't Brother Lu call Xiao Hei when he came in the middle of the night? You didn't even know that the gate was opened in the middle of the night? You slept so deeply, you didn't know that a thief came in, right?"
Zheng Xinyue got furious when she heard this and defended herself by pinching her waist.
"If you were here, you wouldn't know that Brother Lu didn't even need to go through the door to come in. He could just climb over such a high wall. If it were you, would you be able to notice it? And I'm sure that Xiao Hei didn't scream last night."
"So powerful?" Xiao Nian was shocked. He was still thinking in his heart, maybe Zheng Xinyue had exaggerated a little too much. Even if she could get in, there was no way she wouldn't alarm Xiao Hei, right?
But seeing that Yang Niannian didn't refute, he immediately believed it.
Yu Sui was also a little stunned. He climbed over the wall into the yard without even alarming the dog. How powerful must he be?
However, when he thought of the time when Lu Shishen pierced Yu Shun's lips with a fishbone in Haitian Yise, he felt that it was nothing.
Lu Shishen is so young. If he didn't have this ability, how could he become the head of the regiment and be transferred here from Haicheng?
Zheng Xinyue was bragging to Lu Shishen at this moment.
"Brother Lu is actually more powerful than I said. Brother Qin told me some things about Brother Lu. You don't know how powerful he is. Just look at your ribs, he can break several of them with one punch."
Xiao Nian touched his chest and swallowed, "Don't use me as an analogy, it sounds scary."
"You're afraid of this?" Zheng Xinyue danced with joy and described vividly, "Brother Lu is not afraid of fighting a grown black bear with his bare hands. In ancient times, Wu Song beat a tiger, and now Brother Lu beats a black bear."
Xiao Nian almost dropped his jaw in shock. An adult black bear weighs at least 100 to 200 kilograms, and one claw can rip a person's intestines and stomach apart. Is Lu Shishen an iron wall?
Is this still a human being?
Yu Sui also found it incredible, and kept comforting himself in his heart that Lu Shishen was a rare genius that only appears once in a century, otherwise he would not have achieved such success at such a young age without any family background.
Seeing how surprised they were, Zheng Xinyue felt a great sense of accomplishment. She winked at Yang Niannian, and her face almost had the words "My promotion is okay, right?" written on it.
Yang Niannian suppressed her laughter, cleared her throat modestly, and changed the subject, "Xiao Nian, the small stool is in the kitchen, go get it yourself!"
Xiao Nian came to his senses and went to the kitchen to get a small stool.
"Niannian, I won't be polite then. I'll bring the small stool back when school starts."
"If you buy a seat ticket, you don't need to bring it. It's very troublesome to carry." Yang Niannian said crisply.
Seeing Xiao Nian got the stool, I spoke.
"I also have to go back to school to pack my things and get ready to go home. See you when school starts."
Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue sent the two to the door. After seeing them walk away, she stretched.
"Take a nap. Jiang Yang should be here in the afternoon."
The two of them slept until two in the afternoon. Calculating the time, Jiang Yang would probably arrive in the evening. Thinking that they must not have eaten anything on the way, Yang Niannian bought some ingredients and came back to cook a table of meals.
At five o'clock in the evening, Du Weili finally drove the car to the courtyard. Surprisingly, he was the only one there.
Yang Niannian suddenly had a bad feeling and asked with a frown, "What happened in Haicheng?"
If nothing happened, Jiang Yang would not have let Du Weili come alone without even making a phone call.
