I don't know what's so interesting about this, but it's made all the children so excited that they're sitting there just to see the expression on Daqing's face.
They felt they simply couldn't understand it.
However, since Lili and the others were willing, the two of them didn't say anything and went back to their rooms, not wanting to disturb Song Lili and the others.
Daqing was the last one to arrive; he had work to do, which took him quite a while.
He had barely managed to finish his work and rushed over, only to find that bad news awaited him there.
"What did you say? You want me to cook? You're not kidding, are you?" Daqing pointed at himself, asking again in disbelief.
Everyone nodded in unison, affirming his answer to the question.
"It's just you two cooking, you and Chu Ci, so think carefully about what you two should do tonight."
"No need to cook for our family, we've already eaten. Just cook for the five of you," Song Lili kindly explained to Daqing.
But the schadenfreude in his eyes was obvious to anyone.
Daqing had no idea how he was pushed into the kitchen. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already standing there.
Daqing stood there stunned for a long time before he finally realized that he was supposed to cook for himself?
Actually, Daqing doesn't mind cooking. He can cook a little bit himself, although the taste may not be that good, but it's still edible.
However, Daqing didn't understand why they were the ones cooking tonight.
So, he looked at Chu Ci, who was also pushed into the kitchen, and asked, "Do you know what's going on today? Why is it just the two of us cooking?"
Chu Ci knew the answer to this question; he had arrived early and had already inquired about the reason.
So, feeling very helpless, she said to Daqing, "It's all because last night, everyone asked Lili to bring us food. Lili felt like we were ordering her around, saying that we were taking it all too seriously, so she got angry."
“After she got angry, she stopped cooking for us, but she said she couldn’t bear to see us go hungry.”
"They provided us with ingredients so we could cook for ourselves and have enough to eat. That's why you see the situation you see now."
When Chu Ci learned of this reason, he felt extremely helpless.
It wasn't him who suggested it last night; he was just joining in the commotion. He never expected it would end up getting him into trouble.
Daqing was even more innocent; it wasn't him who started it, and he began to grit his teeth at the person who did.
Just as he picked up a scallion, Daqing threw it back onto the stove. "No, we can't just let it go like this."
"It was clearly Wang Daming who suggested it, so why can he get away with it while the two of us have to cook here?"
As he spoke, Daqing left the kitchen and went straight for me, Wang Daming.
"You're coming with me to cook too. You were the one who suggested it, and I'm just an innocent victim. So you have to cook this meal, otherwise none of us will feel good about it."
"Besides, if you hadn't abandoned your work and run away today, how could I have come back so late?"
"All of this is because of you. I was punished by being forced to cook, so you have to help me."
Wang Daming was helpless after being caught, but Daqing was right and he couldn't refute her. He also felt guilty towards Daqing.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the kitchen with you and help you cook today. Consider it my apology to everyone. Is that alright?"
Since they didn't have to lift a finger, the remaining few people readily agreed, knowing they would be well-fed and clothed.
At this moment, Song Fang also chimed in, "I'll go help too. If I hadn't left Chu Ci at home, he wouldn't have been the last to arrive."
"I also have a responsibility here, so I'll help out."
Finally, only Song Jianshe was left outside, sitting with Song Lili, while everyone else went into the kitchen to cook dinner for themselves.
Song Jianshe felt extremely uneasy sitting there. "Lili, I'll go help too. You sit here by yourself."
After saying that, Song Jianshe quickly ran into the kitchen.
Song Jianshe felt bad about having others cook for him, so he decided to go and help out. He figured he could manage by lending a hand.
The men aren't very good at cooking; I guess only Song Fang and Wang Daming are capable of it.
So the others assisted the two of them, washing vegetables, handing things over, and chatting in the kitchen, which was filled with laughter and joy.
No one considered it a big deal; they chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly.
After Song Jianshe went to the kitchen, Zhang Qinghua came out of the room and asked, "Aren't you going to help in the kitchen?"
Song Lili shook her head. "Forget it, I won't go. The kitchen is so small. If I squeeze in, I probably won't even be able to turn around. How can they cook?"
"Besides, it's nice to let them chat together. I'll just stay here quietly, drink my tea, and wait for them to finish their meal so they can continue their conversation from last night. I don't want to get involved in anything else."
Actually, Song Lili was just lazy. She had already cooked dinner in the afternoon and didn't want to cook it again.
Besides, there were so many people in the kitchen, there was no need for her to go in and help anymore.
Zhang Qinghua didn't say anything more; after all, he had only asked casually.
Whether the people in the kitchen can get a meal or whether the food is good or not is not within Zhang Qinghua's consideration. He only cares about making Song Lili happy.
It was more than half an hour later when everyone finally ate.
Moreover, they prepared a rather lavish meal, with one dish for each person, which, when served together, made up a table full of food.
Everyone worked together to make it work, so suddenly we felt much closer to each other again.
They greeted each other and sat down to start eating.
Song Lili also took a pair of chopsticks and sat down next to them. When she felt bored, she would pick up a piece of food and put it in her mouth.
More often than not, I'm listening to everyone else while also talking to myself.
So the meal took an unusually long time; by the time everyone cleared the dishes, two hours had passed.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Only then did they sit down and have a serious conversation about what Wu Huan was going to do.
Last night, everyone actually raised some questions.
After a night and a whole day of consideration, they summarized what they said and did last night, so tonight's speech was much shorter.
