Mi Bao was stunned when she saw the watermelon flesh that had been placed on a spoon fall back into the watermelon.
It said to Li Xiyue, "He wasn't faking it, he was really eating. I could see it clearly, he put every single bite into his mouth!"
"Wow, if that legend is true, he'll definitely turn into a bat and fly away after eating this bowl!"
Li Xiyue said, "Then let's see if this legend is true! Today is the day to witness a miracle!"
She stopped eating and just watched as Du Jingshan drank the whole bowl of pork rib soup.
Cheng Xiaohui asked, "Teacher Du, what do you think of the soup I made? Is it delicious?"
Du Jingshan barely managed to say, "It's delicious! Auntie's soup is especially delicious, the meat is just the right amount of salt and it's very fragrant, and there's so much meat on the ribs!"
Cheng Xiaohui said with a smile, "Just for this piece of pork rib, I gave the salesperson two pairs of socks in advance!"
She specially saved this spare rib for me; she only took it out of the counter when I arrived!
The lady in front of me in line was extremely unhappy; the piece of pork rib she bought had less meat than mine!
Little did she know, the butcher was the daughter of my third cousin's fourth uncle's sister-in-law. We're relatives!
The cooperative has people who are very efficient; they can reserve whatever you want to buy in advance!
"Teacher Du, just let me know if you want to buy anything in the future. I'm going to visit my third cousin's fourth uncle's aunt's daughter!"
Du Jingshan said, "It's always easier to get things done if you know someone. If I want to buy any scarce supplies in the future, I'll have to trouble you, Auntie!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Teacher Du, why are you being so polite? Do we still need to distinguish between each other? Yue'er has caused you a lot of trouble in your class!"
Du Jingshan nodded sincerely, "That's true."
God knows how much trouble Li Xiyue caused him!
Li Xiyue glared at Du Jingshan, as if to say, "Is this guy ever going to stop?"
Her words spilled from the corner of her lips, "Have you finished eating? If you have, hurry back to school for class! It's time for afternoon classes!"
Du Jingshan glanced at his watch and said, "Auntie, I have a few classes this afternoon, so I have to go back to school. Yue'er, will you come with me?"
Li Xiyue smiled and waved to Du Jingshan, saying, "I need to ask for leave. I'm recovering from a serious illness and don't have the energy to attend class. Teacher Du, could you help me ask for a few days off?"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Yes, yes, please ask Teacher Du to help my Yue'er get a leave of absence. She needs to take good care of her health before going back to class."
Du Jingshan said, "Alright, I'll be going now!"
He strode out of the Li family's house, his steps as fast as a jog.
After leaving the Li family, he immediately turned into an empty alley and instantly returned to his own space. It was just too sweet!
He went straight to the bathroom upon returning to his room, vomited up everything he had eaten, and then drank water to induce vomiting!
His body couldn't handle eating so much salt, so he had to use this method to vomit it all out.
He was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. This girl really needed to be taught a lesson!
Li Xiyue enjoyed the pork ribs and winter melon and braised pork that Cheng Xiaohui had made; every dish was one of her favorites.
If she hadn't been in too much time to buy fish, Cheng Xiaohui would have liked to cook another one; her braised fish is one of her specialties!
This braised fish can only be a staple dish; I'll make it for Du Jingshan next time he comes to my house.
Cheng Xiaohui and Li Xiyue said, "What's wrong with Teacher Du? Why can't you stand her?"
Li Xiyue said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with him, it's just that, coincidentally, he doesn't make me feel good about him."
Cheng Xiaohui sighed, "Mu Cangnan has disappeared, and we still don't know his identity. You should calm down and avoid getting hurt in the future!"
She watched her daughter finish eating, then got up to clear the table of dishes.
Li Xiyue was stunned. Cheng Xiaohui was telling her to calm down?
What is Mu Cangnan's identity, and what does it have to do with whether she settles down or not?
Just as she was thinking, Du Guixiang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Yue'er, Yue'er, I heard you're back! Yue'er, open the door!"
Du Guixiang hurriedly pounded on the door, making a loud banging noise.
Cheng Xiaohui hurriedly ran to open the door, not because she was afraid Du Guixiang would break it, but because she was afraid of disturbing the neighbors' afternoon nap.
Cheng Xiaohui opened the door, and Du Guixiang barged in.
Du Guixiang pulled Cheng Xiaohui aside and asked, "Auntie, Yue'er is back, isn't she? She's back, right!"
Cheng Xiaohui said with a smile, "Your brother told you, didn't he? Yue'er is back, she's fine, nothing's wrong with her."
She was in a car accident and lay in the hospital for several days, reportedly suffering a concussion and remaining in a coma.
That was so close! If I hadn't seen that she was alright, I wouldn't have been able to breathe.
Du Guixiang received an affirmative answer and hurriedly ran inside.
As Li Xiyue walked out of the restaurant, she bumped directly into Du Guixiang, who was running towards her.
Du Guixiang picked up Li Xiyue and spun her around, exclaiming, "Hahaha! Darling, you're finally back!"
I knew you wouldn't die! With me praying for you every day, you can't die!
Li Xiyue pinched Du Guixiang's cheek and said, "Of course I won't die. What would you do if I did?"
You even have grand ambitions, to take our domestic products abroad and reap the benefits from foreign consumers! I wonder how advanced foreign countries really are!
Du Guixiang nodded repeatedly. She hugged Li Xiyue tightly, and while she was laughing, she suddenly burst into tears!
"Yue'er, do you know how worried I was about you? When I couldn't find you, I couldn't even sleep well."
I've been watching them work at the factory every day, afraid something might happen if you come back. I wouldn't be able to face you then, and I wouldn't be able to be your best friend!
Li Xiyue hooked her fingers under Du Guixiang's chin; Du Guixiang's face was covered in tears.
She thought that even if they were sisters, they wouldn't amount to much.
She wiped away Du Guixiang's tears and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? You will always be my dearest sister. We are sisters even though we are not from the same father!"
Du Guixiang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we are half-sisters!"
How are you feeling? How far have you recovered? Do you need more rest?
Li Xiyue said, "I don't need to rest anymore. I'm fine now. Let's go to the printing factory. The printing factory needs to start operating as soon as possible. If it doesn't start operating soon, it will be too late to harvest the profits from overseas!"
Du Guixiang said, "Okay, let's hurry up and go! But your house smells so good, it smells like braised pork!"
Li Xiyue quickly turned to Cheng Xiaohui and said, "Mom! Get a big lunchbox for Du Guixiang to take some spare ribs and braised pork. We can eat them on the way!"
She transmitted her voice back into the space and instructed Mi Bao, "Put a car at the intersection for me. Du Guixiang and I will drive to the printing factory!"
Mi Bao immediately did as Li Xiyue instructed, and Cheng Xiaohui also made a big box of delicious food for Du Guixiang to take away.
Two best friends walked out the door together...
