"Speaking of gatherings, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? It'll be a gathering, and we can have gatherings here every now and then."
Haiyi, bring Qingqing along too; that little girl will definitely be happy.
Ye Yunxi smiled and said to Li Yan and Zhang Haiyi.
“Yes, come over to our house for dinner tonight, it’ll be more lively with more people,” Fu Heng chimed in.
"Alright, then we'll respectfully comply. I'll bring Yunzi with me tonight, so it can have some fun too."
Li Yan laughed heartily as he spoke.
"Okay, then I'll bring Qingqing here tonight," Zhang Haiyi said shyly.
"Alright, let's move the furniture back inside first. It's not good to leave it here any longer. We'll be going back to work soon too," Li Yan urged hurriedly.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng smiled, but their hands were busy working.
It took another hour to move all the furniture from the truck into the house.
But they're all in the living room, so I have to slowly tidy them up and put them back in their proper places.
After Li Yan and Zhang Haiyi finished moving, Fu Heng smiled and said to them, "Captain Li, Haiyi, you've worked hard, and thank you for coming to help."
"Hey, what can I say? We're friends, we're practically brothers in arms," Li Yan said, waving to Fu Heng.
"Brother Heng, don't say that, it's too formal. We've been colleagues and neighbors for so long, this little thing is nothing."
Besides, the insect infestation left us without food, and it was you and Yunxi who brought us food and insect repellent spray. We're so grateful to you.
Zhang Haiyi thought about how good Ye Yunxi had been to them before.
"That's right, we owe you a lot for the insect plague. Don't be so polite with us, we're all friends, no need for all the thank yous, why make it so formal."
Ye Yunxi smiled and said, "Then we won't stand on ceremony with you. It's fate that we can all get together. We are friends and sworn brothers."
"That's more like it. Alright, you guys pack up your things now. We're going back to work, and we'll come back tonight."
"I'll drive straight back. Xiao Fu can stay here and tidy up the house." Li Yan said goodbye to Ye Yunxi and the others with a smile.
"Heng-ge, Yun-xi, see you tonight," Zhang Haiyi quickly added.
"Okay, see you tonight, drive carefully." Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng said goodbye to Li Yan and the others.
After watching Li Yan and the others get into the car, they waved goodbye and watched the car drive away before returning to the house.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng divided the work. Fu Heng took out two or three cleaning robots from his space and quickly cleaned the room.
Ye Yunxi was responsible for first putting the furniture into the space, and then taking the furniture out and placing it in its proper place after the robot cleaned it.
The two discussed it and decided to postpone laying the floor tiles until tomorrow. They decided to tidy up the living room and kitchen briefly first, and then clean them thoroughly after the tiles were laid tomorrow.
In half an hour, the whole house was tidied up. The living room only had simple furniture such as a sofa, coffee table, dining table, chairs, and air conditioner.
The kitchen has a range hood installed, so it contains some kitchen utensils, pots and pans, a refrigerator, etc.
After Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng finished tidying up, they sat on the sofa and rested in the air conditioning.
Ye Yunxi checked the time; it was a little past three in the afternoon, more than two hours before dinner. It gets dark late these days, so people usually eat dinner after six.
Ye Yunxi turned to Fu Heng and asked, "What are we having for dinner? I have some food I made before, and some I stocked up on before the apocalypse in my space."
Fu Heng thought for a moment, "The base is short of food right now, so we can't eat too well. But if we let them eat something good once in a while, I'm sure they won't have any bad thoughts about it."
We won't cook tonight; we have food in the kitchen. We'll make some more another day to keep on hand.
"Okay, then I won't make it. I'll take it out later, around mealtime."
Fu Heng smiled, leaned closer to Ye Yunxi, and prepared to kiss her on the lips.
Ye Yunxi pushed him away, "I'm a little tired now, I don't want to."
Fu Heng leaned on her and held her to rest.
At 6:30 p.m., Ye Yunxi saw that it was almost time, so she took out yam and pork ribs, braised pork, stewed chicken, tomato and egg, stir-fried cabbage, mapo tofu, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and two cold dishes from her space.
Take everything out and put it on the plates we have at home, along with a pot of rice.
Just as they were getting ready, Li Yan, Zhang Haiyi, and Gu Qingqing arrived together.
Li Yan brought Yunzi over, and when Yunzi saw Ye Yunxi, she immediately ran towards Ye Yunxi.
Wagging its tail happily, it seemed to be saying, "I haven't seen my human all day, I've missed him so much, let me lick him properly."
Ye Yunxi burst into laughter at Yunzi's appearance.
"Sister Yunxi, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!" Gu Qingqing said excitedly as she hugged Ye Yunxi upon seeing her.
Ye Yunxi paused for a moment, then hugged Gu Qingqing back, "It's been so long, I've missed you too."
The two hugged briefly before letting go of each other.
"Oh, right, Sister Yunxi, we also brought you and Brother Heng a gift to congratulate you on moving to your new home. Quick, Brother Yi, give it to Sister Yunxi and them."
As Gu Qingqing spoke, she looked at Zhang Haiyi, gesturing for him to bring the things over.
Zhang Haiyi smiled indulgently, "Yunxi, Heng-ge, this is something we prepared with Captain Li. We hope you won't find it offensive."
"How could that be? Fu Heng and I are very happy that you could come," Ye Yunxi said, accepting the gift from Zhang Haiyi.
"Please sit down and eat first. There's not much to offer, so please don't mind."
Fu Heng led Li Yan and the others to the dining table.
"Xiao Fu, you call this nothing to offer? The food is so plentiful." Li Yan said, pointing to the food on the table.
"Wow, Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, you're too kind. You made so many delicious dishes. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Qingqing saw the food in front of her and shouted excitedly.
"Heng-ge, Yun-xi, thank you for spending so much," Zhang Haiyi said shyly.
