The meal was finally finished and Xu Manman breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little choked while eating because someone was staring at her plate.
It was originally agreed that the brother and sister would treat Jin Zi to this meal, but unexpectedly two girls joined in the middle of the meal, so when Chen Ming paid the bill, he still paid for the whole table together.
Although Yang Yang is a rough man and sometimes does things without considering the consequences, he also knows that he cannot take advantage of others easily in this matter, so he immediately said that he would return the money.
Chen Ming smiled politely, "No need. Manman often told me that you two helped her a lot in the dormitory. I should have treated you to a meal a long time ago. It's fate that we met this time."
Yang Yang still wanted to take out his wallet and return the money, "No, I'm already prepared..."
Xu Manman reached out to stop him, "Just give my cousin this one chance. He was supposed to treat us to dinner today. Besides, it's not a big deal to have girls pay for dinner. He can just bring us some local specialties when school starts."
Cai Mei originally wanted to return the money. Although it was not a large amount, they had just contributed the money halfway through, so she didn't want to act like they were deliberately taking advantage of her.
After hearing what Xu Manman said, she no longer insisted, "Okay, you like spicy food, I have some in my hometown, I'll bring you some when the time comes."
Yang Yang also nodded vigorously. "My mother's fried fish is delicious, and the fried chili peppers are so fragrant. I will bring some more for you when the time comes."
When Xu Manman heard about fried chili peppers, her eyes lit up. This was one of her favorite hometown delicacies in her previous life, and it went well with rice.
However, she had never been to Hunan Province, so she shouldn't have eaten it by now. Xu Manman pretended to be curious and asked, "What are fried chili peppers? I've never eaten them. What are they made of?"
"It's made with chili peppers and rice noodles. It's really delicious and more fragrant than meat." Locals strongly recommend it.
Xu Manman took out 5 yuan and a few national food coupons and industrial coupons, "Can you ask Auntie to make more? We don't have to wait until summer vacation. We can send it directly to Hai City. I want my parents to try it."
Yang Yang was still a little confused holding the banknotes.
Xu Manman explained, "We have a large family, and I have to go to Nangang during the summer vacation, so I need to bring some with me. So I need a lot. Consider these tickets as an exchange between me and my aunt. I'll send them to you when the time comes. I'll pay for the postage and give you the address."
Yang Yang gave it, and Cai Mei couldn't be partial. "Second sister, Sichuan Province is also famous for its chili peppers, peppercorns and other spices. Can you help me get some and send them over?" It was also five yuan and some banknotes.
Even though these may not seem like much, in this day and age where money is valuable, you can buy a lot of them by selling local specialties.
Xu Manman took out the notebook again, wrote down two lines of home address, tore them off, and handed them to the second and fifth sons.
"This is my home address. I shouldn't be in Nangang until the end of July, so just mail it to me before then. Express delivery, I'll pay for the postage. My phone number is also written above, so call me if you need anything."
Don't be bound by what I said before. If you think anything is good, you can buy some. If you don't have enough money, I can make up for it when school starts." The phone number left was the reception room of the family compound.
The two people holding the address realized that Xu Manman was serious. Yang Yang looked at Xu Manman, then glanced at Chen Ming who did not express any opinion, and then nodded.
"Okay, I'll let my mom make it for you when I get home."
Cai Mei also collected the money and asked, "Can you eat spicy food? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"I don't have any dietary restrictions, but my family has a relatively mild taste. We can eat a little spicy food, but not too spicy."
"Okay, I understand."
Afterwards, he sent the second and fifth children to take the bus back to school, and the three of them rode their bikes back to the yard.
Only after Jin Zichu rode his tricycle back did the brother and sister have time to chat.
Chen Ming leaned against the door frame, watching his cousin tidying up the room. "Manman, tell me the truth, are you unhappy living in the dormitory and that's why you want to move out?"
Xu Manman kept moving her hands while she replied, "No, everyone is fine."
Although there were some minor frictions and the girls had their own little thoughts, it was okay overall. It was much more harmonious than some dormitories where people had small quarrels every three days and big quarrels every five days, and fought and pulled hair at every turn.
"Is there really no one bullying you in your dormitory?" Chen Ming thought about how during mealtimes, Yang Yang would come up to each of his cousin's dishes and grab a forkful of them. He even snatched away his cousin's favorite cold coffee with ice cream, leaving his cousin with nothing to eat.
