She doesn't have to worry about washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen afterwards. Although these boys are not good at cooking, they have been doing these housework since they were young.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so a few boys who couldn't sit still took their balls and went to play basketball. Xu Manman came to the message room and called Liu Hua.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Liu Hua, I'm Xu Manman."
"Manman! Are you on vacation?" Liu Hua was also surprised to hear Xu Manman's voice. Although he had been writing letters in the first half of the year, the feeling of calling was still different.
"Well, I just got home yesterday. How about you? Did you finish your exams?"
"The exams are over, so we had a break early. We had a break last week. You're back in Hai City now, right? When can you come out and play?"
"Okay, I called to ask you out. How about tomorrow, we go to the City God Temple?"
"Okay, okay, then tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, I'll call Lily too." Her and Li Xiao's homes are very close to Yang Lili and Zhan Tianqi's homes.
"Why not take Pingtai and Youning along? We haven't seen each other for a long time and I miss them so much." Thinking of those two chubby little cuties, Xu Manman felt itchy.
"Okay! It's settled then. I'll go to Lily's house and call for help later."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Manman took the clothes that her mother and aunt had picked out yesterday and went to the tailor shop. She told the tailor the size she wanted to have altered, and the tailor measured her again before going back.
It was still early and there was nothing to do at home, so Xu Manman took a sun-protective jacket and a hat, and filled two water bottles before going out.
When we arrived at the basketball court, there were about ten young men fighting fiercely.
Xu Manman found a shady place nearby and sat down, put her things aside, and quietly watched a group of boys running around with a ball.
The people who played basketball with Chen Ming and the others were all friends who had known each other since childhood, so they didn't find her arrival strange.
But there were a few boys whose ears secretly blushed and they became absent-minded while playing basketball when Xu Manman approached them.
Although Xu Manman is now well protected, her face can still be seen clearly.
The fair and translucent skin, the vibrant red lips, and the bright and delicate facial features when opened make it difficult for these young boys who are full of vigor and vitality to not be moved.
The opponent made frequent mistakes and looked in the direction of Xu Manman. Even the most discerning person would know that something was wrong.
After scoring a goal, Chen Ming put the ball away and said, "No more playing. Let's stop here today."
"Come on, Mingzi, we're just warming up."
Chen Ming ignored everyone's efforts to persuade him to stay, walked directly to Xu Manman, put away the things she brought, and was about to go back.
"Huh? Are you done?" She had just sat down.
"It's boring. Go back and read."
Xu Manman looked at the other side of the buddies who were walking over with gloomy faces, "Did you have a conflict with Gangzi and the others?"
Third cousin Xu Jianmin said casually, "No, they are tired."
Xu Manman looked at the boys still on the basketball court, all of whom were sweating profusely, and believed most of it.
"The kettle is filled with herbal tea that I filled. It's already cooled down, and I added some sugar."
The five boys shared and finished the two pots of herbal tea.
On the way back, Xu Manman told him about her plans for tomorrow.
"I'm going shopping with Liu Hua and Yang Lili tomorrow. You guys have to take care of yourselves for lunch tomorrow."
Xu Jianguo reacted the fastest, "Are you just three girls? Wouldn't that be unsafe? Do you want me to come with you and help carry some things?"
"Hai City is my own territory, how can it be unsafe?" The self-defense skills she learned from Guardian Jin are not to be underestimated, and it is not right to bring such a big burden to a girls' party.
Chen Ming pondered for a moment, "I haven't seen Li Xiao and Tian Qi for a long time. I'll call them later."
When the boys were expressing their feelings, Xu Manman did not interfere.
The other people looked at each other without saying anything, but they all had an idea in their minds.
After returning home, Xu Manman didn’t rest for long because twelve people had to eat in the evening and there were quite a few dishes to cook.
She taught her older brothers how to prepare ingredients and let them know how to prepare different ingredients.
While cooking, she also explained that different dishes require different heat and seasonings. Xu Manman also taught them a versatile seasoning for salads.
Five boys gathered around her and listened attentively, but it was unclear how much they learned.
Finally, Xu Manman handed the stove to the man. They had to eat at two tables anyway, just like at noon, with one dish divided into two portions.
