"Yeah, I arrived yesterday afternoon. I thought I'd come over before school started."
Liu Li stepped aside to let the two of them in. "My aunt and uncle are at work today, so there shouldn't be anyone at home."
Xu Manman nodded and greeted Zhou Ming in the living room, and replied to Liu Li, "Well, when I first came here, the door was closed, so I came over first."
"Then I'll have Zhou Ming go to the army to call people, and we can eat here at noon, okay?"
"No, no, we just came over before school starts. My family asked me to bring some things. I have something else to do soon, so I'm afraid I won't have time to come. It just so happens that there's a copy for your family too. Please help me bring it to your aunt later."
Xu Manman handed over the net bags that she had divided up at home in advance. Some of the items were not commonly seen in Jing City, so she took them out and told Liu Li how to eat them. "Some are specialties of Hai City, and some are bought by my classmates in Hunan and Sichuan provinces." The package from Nangang is still on the way, so we'll talk about it later.
"That's a lot! You're all living out this semester, so you should be cooking for yourself. Why don't you keep it all for yourself?"
"I kept it for myself. I only brought a part of it with me. My family sent some more that are on the way yet." Xu Manman said as she took out a notebook from her bag, tore off the page with the address and handed it over.
"This is my home address. Come visit me when you have time."
Liu Li took the paper and said, "I must go and take a look. I heard from my uncle yesterday that your yard was specially built by someone and it's very beautiful."
Xu Manman and Chen Ming looked at each other helplessly. There was no need to think, it must be the uncle showing off.
Under Liu Li's warm invitation, the brother and sister stayed for lunch. Liu Li used the ingredients they brought today.
I have to say that she is talented in cooking. Xu Manman roughly told her how to cook it, and the final product was really good. It was just a pity for Zhou Ming, who couldn't eat spicy food very well. Not only did his mouth turn red from the spiciness, but his eyes also turned red.
Before dinner, Xu Manman and Chen Ming took some things to Uncle Zhao's house, but still did not see Uncle Zhao himself. They were received by Aunt Zhao, a housewife. They did not stay long, just chatted for a few words, drank a cup of tea and left.
Although she had to treat Xiao Jin to dinner in the afternoon, it was still early. After dinner, Liu Li took Xu Manman out shopping again. However, this time they did not take the bus. There were four people and three bicycles, and Liu Li sat on the back seat of her husband.
Xu Manman brought a lot of clothes this time, and some of them were sent by her mother.
She said that it was her own home anyway, and she had a whole dressing room, and it would look ugly if the space was too empty, so she might as well empty out the wardrobes at home and bring them to her so that her mother could make her a new one.
After accompanying Liu Li to buy some clothes, they went to a thrift store. Xu Manman bought some beautiful vases and ornaments to decorate the house.
It was a rare opportunity for Xu Manman to use the treasure hunting function again. After careful selection, the things she bought were naturally not second-hand goods. This time, Xu Manman really liked this place. Although she couldn't find a big bargain, it was also nice to buy some interesting gadgets to collect.
You have to know that the current price of these second-hand goods is nothing compared to their future value.
The two ladies were very satisfied, and the two gentlemen were also very loaded. It was not until the bicycles could no longer accommodate them that the four of them parted ways.
On the way back, the two of them also bought a lot of meat and eggs.
When she got home, Xu Manman first cleaned and put away the ornaments she had bought today. She was very elegant and cut flower branches from the small garden in the middle courtyard to put in the ornaments.
Xu Manman supported her chin with one hand and looked at the wall behind the vase. She seemed to understand a little bit now why her grandmother liked to put up celebrity pictures in the room in her previous life. This big white wall really looked a bit empty.
She was still thinking about what to get to decorate the wall when she heard the sound of bells in the yard.
Xu Manman walked out of the east wing and looked at Chen Ming who was walking out of the west wing opposite.
"Zi Chu must be here. He made the doorbell sound. Judging from the sound, he should be at the back door."
Xu Manman came out and followed him to the back door. "There is actually a doorbell. Can I tell the back door from the front door by the sound?" She really didn't notice this.
"Well, when Xiao Jin was building the yard, he said that our yard is a bit deep, and if there's movement outside, we might not be able to hear it inside. So he installed this doorbell. The small bell for the back door has a crisper sound, and the big bell for the front door has a muffled sound."
