Song Lili quickly changed her clothes and tied her hair in her room, then grabbed her wallet and went out.
"Alright, let's go. We'll go to the market to buy groceries, and we'll be back just in time for lunch," Song Lili said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go quickly." When it comes to food, Liang Yulin is the most enthusiastic one.
Then, the group, along with Yan'er, went out to buy groceries in a grand procession.
When they arrived at the market, many people recognized Song Lili; they were familiar with her from when she had her stall there before.
Everyone greeted her, "Lili, what brings you here today?"
"I heard you moved your stall? Where did you move to? Has your business grown?"
Song Lili listened with a smile, occasionally responding, looking quite content.
Liang Yulin became even more curious, "Are you familiar with everyone here? And Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan, are you familiar with this place too?"
Many people greeted these three people, so it was hard for her not to notice.
“Lili’s stall used to be here, so we’re all familiar with this place and know them,” Wang Mei explained.
"Oh, I see." Liang Yulin understood, and then remembered, "Song Lili, I want to eat multigrain pancakes and hand-pulled pancakes today. I've heard about them for a long time, but I've never tried them. I'm very curious about what they are like."
Surprisingly, Zhao Honghong nodded and said, "I want to eat it too."
“Sure, since you want to eat it, I’ll make it for you today,” Song Lili immediately agreed.
It's not a difficult thing, there's no need to refuse.
"That's good." Now, Liang Yulin was satisfied, his glasses constantly looking around, searching for the dishes he wanted to eat.
Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan felt more at ease, chatting with the people around them before taking what they wanted to eat.
Zhao Honghong followed silently behind, while Dong Xiaocui felt uncomfortable all over, as if everyone's eyes were on her.
After finally finishing their grocery shopping, the group carried several bags of groceries home. Song Lili washed her hands and started making multigrain pancakes and scallion pancakes, as these would be quicker.
She asked Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan, "Do you two want some?" She had eaten with and met the two of them before, so she wanted to ask.
"I won't eat it," Wang Mei waved her hand.
"I don't want it either," Fan Lijuan shook her head.
“I’ll eat it,” Yan’er nodded happily.
"Alright, I won't make any for you. I'll make one for Yan'er." With that, she went into the kitchen.
She quickly made two multigrain pancakes and a scallion pancake before serving them.
"You two should try it. It's almost lunchtime. Two people, one each. Just have a taste and wait for lunch."
Otherwise, if you're full from eating pancakes, how will you eat lunch?
Liang Yulin had no objections; as long as it was something she wanted to eat, she was fine with it.
Zhao Honghong silently picked up a multigrain pancake, cut it in half, and gave half to Yan'er, demonstrating her support through her actions.
Dong Xiaocui didn't speak, and Song Lili didn't ask her either.
Song Lili went to make lunch, and Wang Mei and Fan Lijuan went to the kitchen to help.
After finishing her meal, Liang Yulin strolled into the kitchen. "Is there anything I can help you with?" Actually, she didn't know how to cook much.
"No need, you go outside and wait, play with Yan'er for a while, there are too many people in the kitchen."
"You guys can just wait outside," Song Lili quickly refused.
The kitchen is big, but it gets crowded if several people come in. It's just one meal, does it really need so many people to cook together? It's not like we're preparing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
The three of them quickly prepared lunch, which consisted of dishes that everyone liked, so they finished it all and ate happily.
"Oh, I finally got to eat Song Lili's cooking! It's so delicious! If I ever have the chance, I'll definitely come over for a meal again," Liang Yulin expressed his great wish.
No one else spoke, but the way they rubbed their stomachs showed that they all liked it.
“If you want to eat it in the future, I can make it and bring it to the dormitory.” Song Lili said with a smile when she saw Liang Yulin like this.
Even if she really wanted to, I doubt the others would feel comfortable doing so. After all, nobody owes anyone anything.
She was happy to do it occasionally; living in the same dormitory and having a good relationship was never a bad thing.
She's not in the dorm at night; she should let her roommates know if something happens.
The others didn't really take it to heart, and no one actually said anything.
After lunch, the group sat around the table, chatting while enjoying the breeze.
They talked about their lives, the fun and funny things that happened around them, and their troubles.
Around 5 p.m., the door opened, and Song Lili guessed that Zhang Shengtian and the others must have returned.
We have guests at home today, and they'll definitely be coming home early. We can't be impolite, can we?
However, to Song Lili's surprise, she actually saw Luo Juan and followed Zhang Shengtian in.
Zhang Shengtian smiled happily. "Lili, I ran into Juanzi and Wang Li on the road, so I called them over."
"We have guests today, so let's all have a meal together. Juanzi is someone we know well, so this is perfect."
Song Lili then gave a formulaic smile and said, "Sure, there are plenty of people anyway. It's the same as cooking for one person. It's just a matter of adding two more pairs of chopsticks."
Let's just consider it an act of overflowing compassion, giving alms to a beggar.
"Sorry to bother you," Wang Li said somewhat embarrassedly, smiling awkwardly.
Luo Juan's expression was rather intriguing. She looked at Song Lili with a half-smile, her eyes filled with smugness, as if she were something special just because she was here.
Song Lili rolled her eyes. "Tch, I can't be bothered with you. You're so ridiculous."
She went back to the kitchen to cook, but before leaving, she gave Luo Juan a disdainful look.
Since you insist on coming here to make me unhappy, how can I possibly make you feel better?
It is impolite not to reciprocate! We should heed the words of our ancestors!
So Luo Juan got angry and watched as Song Lili turned around and went into the kitchen with a livid face, chatting and laughing with the people around her.
Song Lili, what's there to be so proud of? Even if you're unhappy or annoyed that I'm here, what can you do about it?
You still have to listen to Zhang Shengtian, don't you? You still have to smile at me to please Zhang Shengtian, don't you?
What do you have to be so proud of?
Yes, there's nothing to be proud of. I just wanted Zhang Shengtian to be happy. I didn't want to upset him because of my grudge with Luo Juan.
Therefore, Song Lili welcomed Luo Juan and ignored Luo Juan's provocations, all because of Zhang Shengtian.
Otherwise, who is Luo Juan? Is she worth Song Lili spending time and energy paying attention to?
It's not worth it.
Song Lili didn't want to pay any attention to it. She went to the kitchen, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. Who cares about her? Taking good care of her roommates is the most important thing.
As for Luo Juan, I didn't see her, okay?
