Xu Manman smiled and took a piece of fruit candy, and handed one to Xu Jianguo as well, "We can be considered to have gotten something out of Zichu today."
Xu Jianguo nodded and said, "Brother Zichu is really amazing." He was once again impressed by Jin Zichu's knowledge today.
"I know your brother Zichu is very capable, so you should learn from him."
It was already late when we finished visiting the Forbidden City. There was still so much meat at home and we hadn't bought a refrigerator yet, so the three of us didn't eat out and went home to cook.
Because they have to go to the compound tomorrow, they will probably not have lunch at home. Xu Manman simply cooked all the dishes in the evening and saved the leftovers for making noodles tomorrow morning.
Stewed tomato beef, cumin lamb, braised pork... These are all dishes with high oil and salt content, which can be kept for a longer time than fresh meat. Xu Manman even specially reserved a portion to pack for Jin Zichu to take back later, so that he would not have to cook separately tomorrow.
Because Chen Ming might come back late after talking, everyone waited for him after eating.
It was already late to go home, and it would be dark by the time they finished cooking, but Chen Ming still waited until they finished their meal and Jin Zichu returned before going home.
Hearing the doorbell ring, Xu Jianguo ran out to open the door, "Cousin, why are you so late? Have you eaten? There are still dishes in the kitchen."
Chen Ming pushed the car into the carport and parked it. "I just sent your sister Wenjun home. I stayed to chat for a while and had dinner outside."
When he came in and saw Xu Manman, she also had a string of the same questions, and Chen Ming answered them one by one in a good-tempered manner.
Even though Xu Manman didn't go out with them today, it didn't stop her from enjoying the melon. "Cousin, where did you go today? What did you eat?"
There was nothing to hide. "I didn't go anywhere. I just walked around the park and had hot pot in the evening."
Hearing this, Xu Jianguo shouted, "Cousin, didn't you say you would take me out to eat yesterday?"
Chen Ming had actually forgotten about this. "Um... I'll definitely take you there to eat next time. Did you guys go to the Forbidden City today?"
When the Forbidden City was mentioned, Xu Jianguo immediately forgot about the hot pot. He had no idea what it tasted like since he hadn't eaten it yet.
"I went there. The Forbidden City is really huge. Brother Zichu is really amazing. He knows everything. He even knows how the scratches on the chair in the Empress's Palace came about."
Chen Ming really didn't know this, "Oh? How did it come about?"
So then Xu Jianguo pulled Chen Ming aside to explain everything, all of which he had learned from his brother Zichu during the day.
After hearing this, Chen Ming said, "Zichu is indeed very good. He has a family background in learning and has built a solid foundation since childhood. You must also study hard in the future."
Xu Jianguo answered seriously, "Of course, I won't embarrass you, senior."
Xu Jianguo also chose computer science as his major, so he is indeed Chen Ming's serious junior. He won't have to ask others for extra lessons in the future, which is very convenient.
During the summer vacation, he borrowed Chen Ming's previous textbooks and notes, and Chen Ming, a senior two years his senior, served as his personal tutor. Compared with others, he had a head start.
Moreover, during the two years he has been at home, Xu Gang has also helped him learn foreign languages, hoping that he will follow the same path as Xu Manman and Chen Ming.
Because we were busy working the night before and then walked outside for the whole afternoon, and it didn't take too long to get to the compound, so everyone tacitly agreed not to get up early the next day.
It was 6 o'clock when Xu Manman came out of the space. Seeing that there was no movement outside, she went back to take a nap. Finally, she was awakened by the smell of meat outside.
After washing up and opening the door, Xu Jianguo was helping Chen Ming in the kitchen.
"Sister, you're awake."
"Hmm, it smells so good." Xu Manman touched her stomach. She hadn't eaten anything in the space and was really hungry now.
Chen Ming took the cooked noodles out of the pot and said, "It's ready to eat. I just heated up some leftovers from yesterday to make the stew."
The noodles I rolled myself are chewy and are topped with the well-seasoned meat and sauce. If you find it too greasy, you can pair it with some cold cucumber salad. This breakfast is also very satisfying.
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the three of them packed their things and prepared to go out.
Now there are three people and two bicycles. Xu Manman doesn't plan to buy a new one for the time being. It just so happens that Xu Jianguo can ride her bicycle if the handlebar seat is raised.
Chen Ming now has dates from time to time, but Xu Jianguo is also from the same school, so they always go out and come back together. They can use the same car, which saves her the effort of walking.
Now that I'm familiar with the people in the compound, I don't need to bring so many things every time. This time, I brought some dry goods they brought back from the island. They are not worth much, but they are a gift from the younger generation.
