"Next, it's time for all the sisters to show off their special abilities."
This was also the result of everyone's discussion after Yang Yang returned to the dormitory. They went to Xu Manman's house for dinner. She provided the venue, and everyone contributed some ingredients and cooked it themselves. This way, it would not increase the food pressure on Xu Manman.
At that time, they had no idea that Xu Manman had such a good family background, but they had no intention of taking advantage of her.
Several people took out ingredients from the net bags they brought and excitedly discussed what dishes they would cook next.
Xu Manman took out various seasonings and ingredients such as onions, peppers, and garlic and put them away. "There are still many ingredients here, feel free to use them if you want."
Huang Lijuan looked around the kitchen and said, "Your kitchen is so clean that I feel a little uncomfortable cleaning it." Her house was in the countryside, and the kitchen was always smoky and the walls were blackened.
"The kitchen is for cooking, isn't it? My cousin and I usually cook here. Let me light the fire first."
They all cook at home frequently, so even Yang Yang was not unfamiliar with the movements, so after getting familiar with them, he quickly got the hang of it.
Xu Manman glanced at her watch and said, "Third sister should be here soon. You guys go ahead and do what you want. I'll go pick her up at the entrance of the alley."
Huang Lijuan nodded, still chopping vegetables, "Okay, go ahead, I'll watch over here."
Xu Manman was afraid that Wang Zhen couldn't find the place, so she walked out of the courtyard and all the way to the entrance of the alley. After waiting for a few minutes, she saw Wang Zhen riding a bicycle.
Wang Zhen slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of her. "Why are you coming out to pick me up? I'm not exaggerating, there's no alley in Beijing that you can't find."
"It's not that I'm worried about not being able to find the alley. Our door is at the back, not on the main road. I'm just worried you'll get lost."
Wang Zhen and Xu Manman came to the side door. "This door is not too far away, and there's a sign hanging on it. If you didn't come to pick me up, I would definitely find it."
"Yes, yes, I underestimated Third Sister's strength. Please come in, Third Sister. The others are already sitting there and are waiting for you."
Wang Zhen was surprised to see such a large open space when she walked in. She saw Xu Manman put the car directly into the shed and said, "There's such a large open space in the yard, and they only built a shed to store the car? It's a bit of a waste."
At this time, she thought that Xu Manman's house was also a slum, and that there were several households living in her house as well. She felt a little strange that such a large piece of land was not occupied by anyone. If it were her house, this piece of vacant land would have been used to build five or six rooms.
"I don't have any other plans for now, so let's just leave it at that."
Xu Manman parked the car and turned around to lock the gate. Only then did Wang Zhen feel something was wrong. The doors of their slum were open during the day because everyone came in and out. Since some people worked the night shift, the gates were basically never closed.
She locked the door right away. It turned out to be a private house with its own yard?
When she entered the courtyard of the second room, her face froze completely. She believed that her family background ranked first among the dormitory students. Not to mention that she and her husband were both registered in Beijing and had a separate room.
Later, when the fourth child got married, she saw her wedding house and re-evaluated it. She put the fourth child on the same level as her. Although she lived in a slum and her house was not as big as the fourth child's, she had given birth to a big fat boy.
But now, seeing that Lao Liu from Hai City had such a big yard at home in Jing City, she was quite shocked.
Everyone in the compound wants to occupy more land, but Lao Liu's family not only lives in a spacious house, but also has a large area left vacant.
Wang Zhen's face turned red when she thought about what she had said before about being wasteful.
Yang Yang poked his head out of the kitchen and saw Wang Zhen, "Third sister, you're here. Come quickly. We've been waiting for you."
Wang Zhen collected his thoughts and forced a smile, "Hey, here I come."
Apart from helping to wash some dishes and bowls, Xu Manman did not get involved in other matters. It turned out that the girls were really good at cooking.
The sun wasn't too strong today, so a few people set up a table in the yard to eat.
Twice-cooked pork, minced meat with cabbage, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, eggplant with beans, and dried tofu with green peppers.
However, there was some controversy over the choice of staple food. Southerners, mainly Xu Manman, Yang Yang, Cai Mei, and Huang Lijuan, advocated having it with rice.
Wang Zhen and Li Xiaochun wanted to have noodles or steamed buns, but in the end the minority obeyed the majority and chose rice.
However, the thoughtful elder sister still prepared some noodles for the two of them.
After dinner, several people came to the living room of the east wing, drank a sip of cold tea, put the cup on the coffee table, leaned back, and lay down like Ge You.
