Chapter 54: Warm Residence
She rode her bike all the way home, and as soon as she opened the gate, Little Circle rushed forward impatiently, threw himself at her feet and barked at her.
"Okay, I know you're hungry, so I'm back, right?"
After locking the bicycle, Suning walked into the yard carrying the little guy who was clinging to his feet. He quickly glanced around and found that it was not much different from when he walked there, so he praised it with satisfaction.
It seems that the last education was very successful.
She took out the rice bowl that she had specially prepared for Xiaoyuanquan from the kitchen, sprinkled broth on it, mixed the rice with it, and then added two meat bones as encouragement.
"Eat it."
"Woof~"
Wagging its short tail, the little circle with shining eyes barked happily when it saw the meat, and began to eat quickly.
For the next hour or so, I was busy watering and applying fertilizer to the flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables in the yard, and then finishing the work in the Taoyuan space, and time was almost up.
When she arrived at the office on time, Fu Jiaming jumped up on one foot excitedly.
"Suning, you are finally here!"
"Hmm? What?"
Raising two fingers, Fu Jiaming pointed to the bag on the table first, "You forgot about this."
"I heard that you beat Tang Tian up?"
"As a gay man, don't you think you are too gossipy right now?"
He smiled and shook his head, glancing at the paper bag of clothes on the table and remembering his previous proposal, "I invite you and Comrade Yan to come to my house tonight to warm up."
"You're in such a hurry? Can we arrange it tonight?"
Fu Jiaming raised his eyebrows in surprise, but as long as the goal could be achieved, it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.
In short, he has more reasons to pull that kid out of the laboratory, and he is more confident!
Fu Jiaming smiled and clapped his hands, and said cheerfully, "Okay, we will definitely go."
"This is your home-warming gift. If you bring more, don't blame me for being inhospitable and closing the door."
"Hahaha, so we really will get to eat and drink for free~"
"What are you two talking about? Why are you so happy? Tell me what you are talking about, and I'll be happy too."
The half-closed door was pushed open and Hu Yong walked in from outside, saying, "Those two haven't arrived yet?"
"Nothing."
“I don’t know.”
The two of them answered all his questions in perfect tacit understanding, one sentence at a time.
Hu Yong curled his lips secretly: Ha, you really thought he didn’t hear it? It was clearly said that Wen Ju would treat us to a meal, but he actually gave us special treatment and only invited Fu Jiaming?
Isn't it just a pretty face?
Touching his chin, Hu Yong straightened his chest and raised his head instantly. He still had the most standard square face, the most resolute and upright face in everyone's eyes. Was he proud?
Naturally, Suning and the others were unaware of his peculiar and unique focus.
Fu Jiaming gave her a look, and when he saw that she understood and nodded, he changed the subject.
"I'm just telling you that Director Liang has approved a few days of sick leave. I plan to take this time to go home. If you want to bring anything, please let me know in advance."
"That's great! I was just wondering if you would come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. Isn't this a coincidence?"
Hearing this, Hu Yong put down his narcissistic hands and looked at him attentively, "Jia Ming, wait for a moment, I will prepare the notes and bills now."
The eldest brother in the family is getting ready to get married, and his mother is worried about how to deal with the problem that her future daughter-in-law has high standards. If this were something from Shanghai, there would be nothing to say, right?
Hu Yong immediately returned to his desk, took out paper and pen, and began to carefully list the things that needed his help.
"when?"
"It will probably be in the next two days. You know my vision. Do you need it?"
"No need to bring anything. I'll just look at it myself."
Fu Jiaming knew what she meant by that. He looked at her with joy. "Mission? Shanghai?"
"Yes, Director Liang just told me this morning to prepare for a business trip to Shanghai."
"Hahahaha, great, then we can go together, how about I book the tickets?"
The Shanghai Stock Exchange can be considered his territory after all. With someone familiar with the place and someone to look after him, Suning naturally nodded without any objection.
It was almost time to get off work, but there was no sign of Tang Tian and Qin Jianjun. It was unclear whether they were out on missions or for other reasons.
Not caring about the two people who had to go home to prepare for the night, Suning told Fu Jiaming who was still in the office the address and arranged a time, then left first.
On the way back, he also stopped by the City Z Compound to inform Luo Shuangshuang.
…
It had just rained at night, and the Lishui River had lost its usual green color and was now turbid. The wind blowing in my face was filled with a strong smell of earth.
The sound of children laughing and playing came from the dam.
Two kinds of climbing flowers grew wildly beside the courtyard wall. The vines with tender green leaf buds successfully climbed up the wall by bypassing the climbing frame.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
Sitting on a cattail mat on a half-person-high corridor under the eaves in the yard, Suning was picking beans and vegetables when he heard the bell at the door.
"Is Comrade Suning at home? There's a letter for you!"
“Here I come.”
He put down what he was holding, stood up quickly and opened the door.
It had been two days since she had received a letter. The postman smiled and took out the letter from the green postal bag and handed it to her first, then handed her two parcel slips that had been divided in advance in his pocket.
"Thank you, comrade."
After taking the things and saying thank you, Su Ning looked down at the envelope and walked into the yard with a smile, "As expected, it's Yingying who is this girl."
I wonder how long it will take for the package she mailed to arrive?
Receive the letter first, and read it when you have time to reply in the evening.
He quickly picked the remaining vegetables and carried the basin to the kitchen. The rice in the pot would be cooked in about ten minutes.
He raised his hand and checked the time. He estimated that the meal would be ready and they would be here soon, so now was the perfect time to start cooking.
"Little Circle, go to the door and wait for our guests."
"Woof~" Little Circle wagged its tail, ran out of the door very obediently, and lay down behind the gate.
Cooking on the coal stove next to him, Suning bent over and lit the fir leaves for kindling under the earthen stove, then slowly added dry firewood. After the fire was burning, he added a ladle of water to the big pot to clean the pot.
Stir-fried pork with double peppers, braised lion's head, squirrel fish, stir-fried winter melon with beans, and finally seaweed and shrimp soup.
Wen Ju was also a big deal in the new home. Three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup, plus herself and Xiao Yuanyuan, six dishes would definitely be enough.
As I became more and more proficient in cutting, washing and frying, my cooking skills also improved rapidly. In a short while, with the fragrant aroma of vegetables wafting out of the kitchen, there were more and more plates of delicious food on the eight-immortals table.
"It smells so good! Well, it's better to come at the right time than to come in time, Ning Baogai, come quickly~"
“Woof woof woof~”
"Where did this puppy come from? It looks weird... cute."
Seeing that the door was ajar, Luo Shuangshuang pushed it open without hesitation. After shouting, she found that there was a small black ball squatting behind the door.
"Hey, little thing, what's your name? I'm half the owner of this courtyard, you know?"
“Woof woof woof~”
"Hey, if you yell at me again, we'll have to add another dish tonight!"
“Woof, woof, woof, woof~”
Listening to the barking of a man and a dog in the yard, Suning put down the spatula in his hand and leaned out half of his body with a smile in his eyes, "Little Circle, stop barking. Grapefruit, sit down for a while. I'll be ready soon."
"So the little thing is called Little Circle. Okay, you continue to watch the door, and I'll go help your master!"
The hand that was suppressing its head loosened and rubbed it. Luo Shuangshuang stood up with a smile and walked quickly to the kitchen, "Ning Baogai, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Just sit still and don't do me a favor like you did last time, okay?"
"Well, then... wasn't that an accident last time? Okay, okay, I'll just watch and not do anything, okay?"
Touching his nose embarrassedly, Luo Shuangshuang had a smile on his face, and really just looked away from the stove.
It's not difficult to make a fire, isn't it just putting wood in it? So why did she almost set the kitchen on fire?
Like my mom said, I am not only a disaster to animals and plants but also a killer in the kitchen?
"Didn't they say that two more friends were coming? Where are they? You should cook this dish and serve it immediately."
“It should be on the way.”
"Tell me, why did you suddenly invite two gay men to your home?"
"Didn't I tell you everything?"
Luo Shuangshuang, with a look of disbelief, tapped her back with her hand and continued to ask mysteriously, "Is there no other situation? For example..."
"Stop it, you're getting more and more ridiculous."
After slapping her mischievous hand away and serving the soup in the pot to the table, Su Ning breathed a sigh of relief that the task was finally accomplished.
