Chapter 358: Get out of my sight
He Rongrong was so coaxed that she turned around, smiling like a blooming flower, "Then you go and ask Brother Zhou and the others to wash their hands and set up the table. I'll prepare the dishes and chopsticks and we can eat."
The bone soup has been cooked long ago, and the dried vegetables have also been put in. The rice should be steamed and ready to eat now.
"Okay!"
"Then I'll go!"
Wenjiu went to call out happily, "Wash your hands, we are getting ready for dinner, and take your clothes to the side room to avoid getting stained with smell."
"Okay! Let's do it now." Zhou Lian said as he started to clean up. Taking Zhang Cheng with him, they cleaned up the house in just a few minutes.
Lu Qingqing came over with a washbasin, took the kettle off the stove and poured water for them to wash their faces and hands, and also helped to clean up the lint that stuck to their bodies.
There was an unpleasant smell of burning from the threads that had been shaken off the body and dropped onto the stove.
Chen Can wrinkled his nose and looked around, "Whose clothes are burnt?"
Everyone was so scared that they looked at their clothes, fearing that they would burn them. If they did, they would definitely be scolded when they got home.
Fortunately, their clothes were not burnt.
Zhou Lian pulled Chen Can over to check, "Our clothes are not burnt, is it you? You were closest to the stove just now."
Zhang Cheng exclaimed, "Sure enough, you burnt your clothes and you're asking others about it. Look at your knees, they're all melted."
Chen Can wanted to cry when he saw it, "These are my best pants..."
Lu Qingqing smiled slyly and the words came out before she had time to think.
"I can sew so well that you can't tell!"
"Would you consider begging me?"
She regretted what she had said and tried desperately to find something to make amends, but before she could say anything, Chen Can had already started begging her.
"I beg you, sister, please have mercy on me and sew it for me!"
"Otherwise my brother will beat me up when he comes back!"
Chen Hao hated seeing him fighting. Every time he saw his clothes torn and tattered, he knew he had been in a fight and would beat him up without hesitation.
Lu Qingqing turned around and said, "Okay, stop crying and I'll sew it for you."
"Thank you, sister!"
Zhou Lian was annoyed, "You useless person, get out of my sight."
With someone to back him up, Chen Can stiffened his back again and said with his neck stiff, "I won't leave."
Wen Jiu teased him deliberately, "That's fine, you stay here and we'll go out to eat."
She said and walked out.
“Hey hey hey!”
"I'm going to get out of here."
Chen Can hurriedly trotted after him like a lackey.
Everyone couldn't help laughing and thought he was a real funny guy.
Soon the meal was served.
As the table beside the stove couldn't hold all the side dishes, they were placed on the large table. Eight or nine of them sat in a circle around the small stove, some holding rice, some holding bowls of condiments.
As soon as He Rongrong opened the lid of the pot, the aroma of bones wrapped in dried vegetables wafted out, and their eyes lit up.
"There are meat to eat and so many vegetables?"
"Sister-in-law, you are so generous!"
Chen Can looked like he had never seen the world before, his eyes wide open as he stared at the meat in the pot.
Zhou Lian blew a loud whistle, "Follow sister-in-law and you can have meat to eat."
He Sheng reminded: "Xiao Zhou, you can't whistle at night."
"Oh ok!"
Chen Can wailed enviously, "Sister-in-law, do you still need a younger brother? Can you see if I can do it?"
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "We are not short of people now. I will call you as soon as my business grows bigger."
His mouth is unreliable.
But his hands and feet are very reliable.
"I remember it!"
"Waiting for you to take me to eat meat!"
Chen Canyue roared happily twice, and the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became heated.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly. Finish what's in the pot so we can cook more dishes. If you don't eat it, it will melt away." Wen Jiu said as he picked up a bamboo shoot and let out a comfortable sigh when he put it in his mouth.
This is the taste, so refreshing!
She didn't order rice, but a condiment bowl, which contained chili peppers, scallion vinegar and other things. The ingredients were simple but the taste was just as good.
He Rongrong stood up and used a spoon to pick up some food for each of them. Knowing that Aunt Zhao couldn't bite bones, she picked out a few pieces of pure meat for her.
"Alright Rongrong." Wen Jiu pulled He Rongrong's clothes and asked her to sit down. "You have hands and can pick up food by yourself. Hurry up and eat yours."
She was always so busy taking care of others that she had no time to eat.
Lu Qingqing also said: "Yes! We can all grab it, Sister Rongrong, stop busying yourself and eat yours quickly, otherwise it will get overcooked."
Zhou Lian picked up a few pieces of meat for her, "Don't be disgusted by my chopsticks. Eat more meat. You've been tired from cooking for us. Make up for it."
"I don't mind giving it up, I don't mind giving it up."
The smell of the steaming food made He Rongrong feel like crying.
Life is so good now!
In the past, she was not qualified to sit at the table to eat. She could only wait until her stepmother and the others had finished eating. If there was leftovers, she could eat them. If there was none, she would not have any. Her stepmother did not allow her to do it. When she was very hungry, she would eat as much as she could when she went to her grandmother. That's why she had so much fat on her body.
He Sheng originally wanted to take out the wine that Xia Huaishan bought for him and let everyone taste it, but then he thought about the work he had to do in the evening and gave up, for fear of getting someone drunk and delaying his evening affairs.
The guys, both young and old, had big appetites and in the end all the soup was used up for soaking. Everyone had a full belly.
"Sister Rongrong, your cooking skills are really great. Whoever could marry you would probably wake up laughing in his dreams at night." Zhang Cheng sat on the chair and teased with a smile. He knew about Xia Huaishan's existence and said this on purpose.
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, He Rongrong couldn't help but think of Xia Huaishan. She almost dropped the bowl when she realized what was going on.
How could she ever think of marrying him!
It's so embarrassing.
She quickly collected the bowls and went to the kitchen with them.
Zhang Zhou gave Zhang Cheng an elbow and said, "If you have nothing to do, go wash the dishes and sweep the floor. Don't be like that second-rate guy Chen Can, saying nonsense to tease girls."
He has a straightforward personality and hates people making jokes about matters between men and women.
Chen Can was not convinced, so he jumped onto Zhang Zhou's back and grabbed his neck tightly, "How did I become a second-rate person? Speak nicely, or I'll strangle you to death."
Zhang Zhou pushed hard and Chen Can lay on his back, howling.
"Don't move, don't move!"
"I'm going to throw up."
After making a fuss for a while, they stopped to clean the room and took the unfinished clothes from next door to continue ironing.
By the time Wenjiu and He Rongrong finished cleaning the kitchen, they were already working in full swing.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing was about to take action, Zhou Lian quickly snatched the iron from her hand and said, "Alright, you two should go to bed quickly! Girls will look worse if they stay up late. We ate a lot, so it's just right for us to do some work to help digest the food."
"I'll arrange for someone to keep watch after I'm done with my work, so you can just go to sleep without worry."
He has always been reliable in his work, so he had no worries about warming the wine, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou. Please have some snacks tonight and keep the things for us. After this round of work, we can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."
