After hanging up the phone, Nanzhou went straight to his boss' office.
"Are you asking for leave again?" Nanzhou's boss looked at him in disbelief. In the past, it was good enough for him to take a leave once a year. Why did he ask for leave again and again this year?
Seeing that Nanzhou just nodded without saying anything, he continued to ask, "Is it about your sister?"
"Well, my sister is going to bring her boyfriend home next week."
Nanzhou's boss took a deep breath, and he knew that Nanzhou was the boss of everything, but he couldn't calm down when it came to this sister. He also knew that he had to bring gifts to his sister when he went on missions in the past, but it didn't delay anything and he never said anything. But now that his sister is going to bring her boyfriend back, shouldn't he also consider getting married? After all, the higher-ups are interested in promoting him recently, and marriage is also a consideration.
"I'll give you ten days off. After you've dealt with your sister's affairs, you can also think about your own lifelong affairs."
Nanzhou frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't mind this, but he had been in the army all these years. It was not fair to the girl to get married after just one blind date, so he had never considered this.
But anyway, the leave was granted, so he planned to go home early. There was a direct train from Kyoto to Shanghai, and Nanzhou wanted to go back early to see his parents' attitude, so he did not go to Qing City to find Nanqiao.
Meanwhile, Nanqiao looked at the hung-up call.
Nanqiao was very worried. What was going on with her brother? Was he angry? Or was he not angry? She thought that after she told her brother about this, he would get angry with her.
Sheng Yanchuan, who had been keeping a close eye on Nanqiao, saw her hang up the phone and immediately stepped forward to pay while nervously asking what Nanqiao had said on the phone.
Nanqiao, still a little confused, stared at the phone blankly. "My eldest brother didn't say anything. He just said he was going to ask for leave and would be home in the next few days..."
Sheng Yanchuan felt a little numb when he heard this. He didn't think that Brother Nanqiao was just going home to take a look...
"It's okay, let's wait until we go back next week. There will always be a way out when you get there."
"Well, I'll ask Brother Wu Wei for help tomorrow to see if he can get me a sleeper ticket."
"Okay, I'll go back to the village and get the letter of introduction."
"Okay," Nanqiao responded, and went home with Sheng Yanchuan. It was almost time, so they went back to get the ingredients out in advance. They estimated that Shen Nian and the others would be there soon.
After returning home, Nanqiao picked up some of the ingredients available at that time. As for beef and mutton, Nanqiao only took some hand-cut ones, and did not take out the beef and mutton rolls made by modern machines.
As for the yellow throat tripe that Nanqiao likes... there is none. This hot pot is a bit lacking, but it is better than nothing.
I took out the old-fashioned barbecue grill I bought in my space because I haven't used it yet. Iron skewers are hard to use, but bamboo skewers are still possible.
In order to make it easier for him to eat, Nanqiao had someone prepare the meat for him when he bought it. They were all small pieces. He took out a pot of mutton and put it aside, then started looking for other food.
The vegetables he brought out this time were all grown by himself in the Nanqiao space. Just when he had finished cleaning them and was about to cut and wash them, there was a knock on the door. Sheng Yanchuan took down the bolt and opened the door.
Then I saw Shen Nian and Li Zhuoran carrying large and small bags.
Nanqiao followed behind Sheng Yanchuan and came over. Seeing the scene in front of him, he sighed.
"Wow, you two have quite the purchasing power."
"They are all hers." Li Zhuoran pushed the bicycle and patted the package tied to the back seat.
"Hey, we already agreed to share it with you when we get back, why are you still so stingy? Isn't it just helping me get it?" Shen Nian looked back at Li Zhuoran a little embarrassed. Didn't she complain to her family last time, so her family sent more things this time? This guy kept talking endlessly, which was embarrassing.
"No, no, these are snacks for girls. What am I going to do with them? You can keep them for yourself." Li Zhuoran said as he parked his bicycle in the corner of the yard under the guidance of Sheng Yanchuan. He was just joking with Shen Nian, and he didn't really miss her things.
Li Zhuoran set up his bicycle, took down the package and put it aside, and then went to help Shen Nian, put everything aside and put it away, and then took out the things they brought to Nanqiao. "Qiaoqiao, we bought soda and a chicken."
"Let's put the soda in the ice well so it will be cool when we drink it later."
Sheng Yanchuan took the soda and hung it in the well, while Shen Nian and Li Zhuoran washed their hands and began to pick and wash the vegetables consciously.
"Qiaoqiao, what are you going to do with this?" Chen Nian pointed at a pot of meat on the side and asked.
"That's lamb, let's grill some lamb kebabs."
"Wow, Qiaoqiao, you even got mutton!" Shen Nian said in surprise. After coming to the countryside here, she rarely ate pork and chicken, let alone beef and mutton.
Cows are even more precious now, and it is rare to kill them for meat. However, although they are rare, they are not rare. So although Shen Nian was surprised, he did not doubt other people.
"Then I'll skewer the mutton," Shen Nian said as he picked up the pot of mutton and came to the table.
The three of them were busy in the yard, while Nanqiao was preparing the hot pot base in the kitchen. The whole yard was filled with the spicy aroma of chili peppers.
Sheng Yanchuan had already lit a small charcoal fire and placed it in the yard. He also put the charcoal from the small oven into it. Nanqiao called Sheng Yanchuan to bring out the shabu-shabu pot and put it on the charcoal fire to heat it.
He then took the skewered lamb and grilled it. With the sizzling sound, the aroma of meat wafted in. Shen Nian and Li Zhuoran, who had not eaten lamb for a long time, smelled the aroma and drooled.
