This barbecue was prepared from noon to three in the afternoon, and we finally had it.

Zhang Kaining marinated the meat and sprinkled some cumin and chili on it before grilling it.

Ye Xiaoxiao took a sip and said, "It tastes good. With your cooking skills, you can try grilling skewers."

Zhang Kaining: "If my family hadn't forced me to study medicine, I would have really wanted to open a restaurant."

Zhang Kaining's long-term ambitions will definitely not be realized, because unless something serious happens to him, who would ignore the boss's misconduct and go out to do dry grilling?

"I bought a house nearby a few days ago, but now I see it's not as comfortable as your house."

The first thing Zhang Kaining did after he became rich was to buy a house.

I wanted to buy a house before, but later I saved some money and bought a villa, planning to bring my parents and grandparents over to live with me.

However, his father is still a busy man in the village and has no plans to live in the city.

"How could that be? The villa you bought must have a yard, right?"

Nowadays, people like to call villas "Western houses", thinking that they are houses built with reference to Western architecture.

"We did bring them, but they are all unified lawns in the community, and we can't grow anything on them."

Speaking of growing things, Ye Xiaoxiao has already built a sunroom in her backyard, so she can grow medicinal herbs in it even in winter.

But planting has not started yet.

"You'll know if it's good once you move in. It's definitely quieter than where I am."

Although the alley is bustling with people, it starts to get busy early in the morning, which is not a good place for lazy people.

"But it's more convenient. Unlike where I live, I have to drive out to buy something."

Zhang Kaining and Ye Xiaoxiao were chatting about a topic that no one else could get a word in.

Duan Hong does have a house, although it is not big, but it is more than enough for her to live in.

But it is not time for Qu Miao and Tang Xiuxiu to buy a house yet.

Zhang Kaining looked at Qu Miao and said, "Miao, do you want to buy a house? I'll lend you some money first and you can pay it back slowly. I won't charge you any interest."

Qu Miao: “No.”

Zhang Kaining: "You won't be able to find a girlfriend this way."

Qu Miao: "I'm not looking for a girlfriend."

Ye Xiaoxiao was determined to buy a house. "Then you have to buy a house yourself. Although you can live in the dormitory forever, it is different from buying your own house."

I don’t know whether Qu Miao needs this sense of belonging, but Ye Xiaoxiao strongly encourages people around her to buy houses.

This is a house in Beijing. If you don't buy it now, you will not be able to afford it in the future.

Qu Miao thought about it carefully and said, "I'll buy it when I save enough money."

Zhang Kaining: "Just look at it first. I've already said I'll lend you the money. Although I don't understand real estate, the prices are getting more and more expensive now.

In the past, the units allocated housing, but now the units pay a few percent at most, and the rest is up to you.”

Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you buy a house, Ren De Tang will reimburse you 20% of the cost."

Tang Xiuxiu was listening nearby and wanted to buy a house herself.

"Okay, okay, if you keep talking, I can't eat the skewers in my hand anymore."

The others then ended the topic.

They ate and drank together, and Zhang Kaining even cooked a pot of noodles.

Ye Xiaoxiao was full, and in the end, the small pot of noodles went into the stomachs of Zhang Kaining and Duan Hong.

It was already past seven o'clock when we finished the barbecue.

It's already dark at around seven o'clock.

Ye Xiaoxiao drove Tang Xiuxiu home. When they came back, she and Duan Hong saw that the lights in the courtyard were on.

"Did we turn off the lights when we left?"

Ye Xiaoxiao has some doubts about her memory.

Duan Hong: "Someone must have come back."

Currently, the only ones who have the key to the courtyard are Ye Xiaoxiao and Lu Hanchuan.

Ye Xiaoxiao is now at the door, and it is obvious who is inside.

"Lu Hanchuan is back."

Ye Xiaoxiao parked the car in the garage and ran into the house.

It was indeed Lu Hanchuan. He had been busy for nearly a month and just returned home.

Lu Hanchuan had just finished taking a shower and changed into home clothes. When Ye Xiaoxiao ran in, he subconsciously caught her.

"When did you come back?"

Lu Hanchuan touched the other person's hair and said, "You are at home. I thought you were not back from Shen City."

"I just came back after drinking the full moon wine. How could I stay so long? Have you eaten? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

Ye Xiaoxiao asked very sincerely.

But Lu Hanchuan laughed without giving any face, "What kind of food can you cook?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you come back earlier, you can catch up with us for the barbecue. But there is still some barbecue left from the evening. I can make you some barbecue rice."

Just heat up the cooked meat and mix it directly into the rice.

Ye Xiaoxiao originally planned to eat it like this.

Lu Hanchuan: "No, I've eaten."

Lu Hanchuan also asked Ye Xiaoxiao how she was doing in Shen City.

"Very good. Haven't you seen how pretty my second brother's daughter is? She's so small and so adorable."

Ye Xiaoxiao gestured with her hands, obviously liking the person very much.

Lu Hanchuan held the person in his arms and asked, "Shall we have a baby?"

Ye Xiaoxiao's face blushed slightly, but the two of them could indeed consider having a baby.

But... not now.

Ye Xiaoxiao pushed Lu Hanchuan away, and without waiting for his reaction, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.

"I think we can reconsider this."

After saying that, he slipped into the bathroom to wash up.

Lu Hanchuan shook his head slightly as he looked at the other party's lively appearance, but he was actually not in a hurry.

Because in his eyes, Xiaoxiao hasn't grown up yet.

It's still too early to have children. It's okay to wait another two days.

…

The next morning, Lu Hanchuan got up to make breakfast.

Ye Xiaoxiao supported herself on her waist and struggled to get up.

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. For the two of them, both of them had been separated for a short time and were newly married. She really felt a little overwhelmed.

In the afternoon, after Ye Xiaoxiao came over slowly, she finally took a shovel and a hoe and turned over the floor of the sunroom.

Of course, she was ready to do it herself at first, but after Lu Hanchuan came over, she took the responsibility of standing and commanding.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Can you please let Sister Hong leave? Won't she feel suffocated staying by my side all the time?"

Lu Hanchuan turned the soil skillfully and looked up in confusion, "She gets paid more than doing dangerous missions, why is she so upset?"

Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "What is a dangerous mission?"

"For example, if you go to protect some senior leaders, you may be assassinated."

"Then Sister Hong should stay here."

Ye Xiaoxiao and the other party get along quite well, and Sister Hong is very hardworking. She gets up before seven o'clock every morning to practice boxing and sweeps up all the fallen leaves in the yard.

Of course Ye Xiaoxiao껩 is looking for a nanny. I don’t want a home-based one, but a part-time one.

She leaves after cooking every day, and cleans the house when she is not cooking. Many aunties in the alley take on this job.
