During this period, Meng Zhen’s small courtyard was almost renovated.
There is a big tree next to the terrace in the yard providing shade. Meng Zhen likes to eat on the terrace during lunch or dinner.
The aroma of the food wafted from far away.
This caused the employees and their families passing by to look inside frequently.
In addition, the flowers and plants transplanted into the landscape area are growing well and blooming in a riot of colour.
It is so pleasant to eat and enjoy the flowers at the same time.
This leisurely little life is particularly enviable.
Today, Geology Team 1 and Team 2 are going out into the field.
Liu Yuzhou went out early and told his wife not to wait for him for lunch before leaving.
Once he goes out into the wild, he doesn't know what time he will be back.
By lunchtime, Meng Zhen had no appetite and decided to make a salad to satisfy his hunger.
I opened the refrigerator and was about to pick out vegetables for the salad.
Several family members' voices were heard outside the door.
"Xiao Meng! Are you home?"
"Comrade Meng!"
A group of Zheng Qiang's men stood at the door of Meng Zhen's house and shouted into the yard.
Zheng Qiang's partner was arranged by his family, and he had met her once when he went home to visit relatives.
The two kept in touch through letters.
As a result, feelings gradually developed between them.
The two families immediately arranged a marriage for the two.
In Zheng Qiang's hometown, getting engaged is equivalent to getting a marriage certificate.
Since it was already a done deal, Zheng Qiang simply asked the woman to join the team.
It’s the same if you take some time to get the certificate here.
Zheng Qiang's girlfriend is Yu Shu, who is tall and thin with a pretty face.
I am an elementary school teacher in my hometown.
However, after confirming that he would join the team, Yu Shu resigned and came here directly.
It just so happened that the geological team's children's class was short of an elementary school teacher, so she filled the vacant position.
Everything went so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.
As a teacher, Yu Shu is naturally loved by the families in the team.
After all, many employees have children in elementary school.
Who doesn’t want to have a good relationship with teachers so that they can pay more attention to their children’s studies?
So after Yu Shu came here, he became popular.
Many family members took the initiative to make friends with her.
After Yu Shu met Meng Zhen, he always liked to ask her to join him when he had something to do.
So, the geological workers who were out in the field couldn't come back at noon, and their families were bored, so they made an appointment to go and deliver lunch to their men.
Yu Shu thought of asking Meng Zhen if he wanted to go together.
It takes half an hour to drive out of the wilderness.
Just at noon, a Dongfeng truck came back from the field transporting soil samples.
I will go there again in the afternoon and can bring my family members with me.
Meng Zhen opened the yard door.
"Xiao Meng, let's go and bring food to your Captain Liu."
Several family members already had lunch boxes in their hands. After explaining their purpose, they smiled and invited Meng Zhen to join them.
It’s okay to deliver food.
The weather is hot and the body consumes a lot of energy. I don’t know if the man brought any food when he left in the morning.
Meng Zhen nodded, two dimples on her cheeks faintly visible: "Everyone, come in and sit down first. I'll go in and serve some food."
Fortunately, she had some pre-prepared meals in her space refrigerator.
Just take it out, process it a little and take it away.
Several family members did not hesitate to visit Captain Liu's small courtyard.
After entering, several people sat down on the chairs on the patio in the yard.
There was a glass of lemonade freshly taken out of the refrigerator on the small coffee table next to it.
Meng Zhen pickled it himself, it is sour and sweet, and very refreshing.
She poured a cup for each of them and said, "It's hot, everyone, drink some water. You're welcome."
The family members' gazes had not yet been withdrawn from the yard:
"Xiao Meng, your garden is so beautiful!"
"Yes, it's a bit like a park. It feels so comfortable sitting here."
Everyone praised the garden and drank iced lemonade.
Yu Shu took a sip, and his expression immediately relaxed, with a look of surprise: "Wow! What kind of water is this? It tastes so good!"
The others were also amazed.
Drinking a glass of cool and refreshing water on a hot day is really thirst-quenching.
Meng Zhen explained, "This is called honey lemonade. I made it myself. One small spoonful can be mixed with a large glass of water. It tastes even better when chilled."
"Xiao Meng, can you teach me this recipe? I want to make it too!"
"And me! I want to learn too!"
Several family members were eager to try.
"Okay, I'll write down the recipe for everyone later."
There is nothing to keep secret about the recipe, as almost everyone can find it online in later generations.
While everyone was drinking water, Meng Zhen went into the house to prepare the food to take away.
It’s easy to lose your appetite in hot weather, but you’re also physically exhausted, so you have to eat.
Meng Zhen took out cold mung bean porridge, hot and sour jelly and ice glutinous rice balls for dessert from the space.
The porridge and dessert are both soup, which is not convenient to use a lunch box, so I just took two thermos cups to serve them.
This way it won’t get hot during the journey and it will still be ice cold when you take it out to eat.
I remembered that everyone just praised lemonade for being refreshing and delicious.
When exposed to the sun outdoors, everyone definitely needs a drink to cool down.
Meng Zhen directly filled a thermos with a large pot of lemonade and added another thermos full of ice cubes.
This should be enough for the team, right?
Is it considered an employee benefit for the captain?
The corners of her mouth curled up as she packed her things happily.
Then he changed into a sun-protective jacket, put on a sun hat, and set off with his family.
Fortunately, they had a Dongfeng car. Meng Zhen brought a lot of things with her, so Xiao Wang, who was driving, asked her to put the two thermoses on the passenger seat.
Then she and her family sat in the large open carriage at the back.
In the open-air rear compartment, there were already six or seven family members sitting on one side, including those from Team One and Team Two.
