The meal took them more than half an hour to finish.
Just as Zhang Sinian said, there was no way any food would be left over.
After all, there are two big eaters here, so they won’t be unable to finish even if we give them a few more portions.
Touching her full stomach, Ruan Mengmeng secretly glanced at the waists of Zhang Sinian and the other man.
It's strange. We both ate quite a bit, but our stomachs are still flat. Did the food get eaten somewhere else?
Feeling her gaze, Zhang Sinian became a little nervous. He sat there with his body tense and dared not move.
His face still had a serious expression, and those who didn't know him would think he was facing something important.
What does this little girl mean? Why is she suddenly staring at me?
There can't be anything wrong with him, or maybe there's something on his face!
Before he could think about it, Zhang Xinxin burst into laughter;
"Don't look at Mengmeng. Don't you know that they exercise every day and everything they eat is converted into energy and muscle?"
Ruan Mengmeng suddenly understood, touched his forehead and nodded;
"That makes sense, how could I have forgotten that?"
Forget that they are both soldiers.
Soldiers are strict with themselves and exercise every day. No matter how much they eat, they are not afraid because it will all be converted into energy and muscles!
But if that’s the case, do both of them have abdominal muscles?
Is it eight yuan or six yuan?
Ruan Mengmeng was lost in her own fantasy, with a shifty look in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Xinxin, who knew her very well, poked her with a sly smile;
He leaned over to her ear quietly and asked in a low voice;
"Hey...are you really curious about how much it is?"
“Hmm…”
Ruan Mengmeng nodded foolishly, immersed in her own world and unable to extricate herself.
Her mind was now full of the abdominal muscles of the handsome guy on the cover that she had seen before, and she didn't hear clearly what Zhang Xinxin said at all.
When she came to her senses, she was a little embarrassed, and quickly shook her head and explained anxiously.
"Oh, no, I didn't..."
The two men had lowered their voices a lot, but since they were two soldiers on the other side, their ears were still very good.
After listening to their conversation, although he didn't know what they were talking about specifically, he still stared at the two of them with strange eyes, especially Ruan Mengmeng.
This made Ruan Mengmeng speechless. It was not right to explain, and it was not right not to explain either. She hung her head in embarrassment and fell into autism!
"Okay, no one's laughing at you!"
Zhang Xinxin patted her shoulder to comfort her.
This made her laugh to death. She didn't expect that her best friend could be so funny.
After dinner, Ruan Mengmeng had nothing left to buy, so she prepared to go back.
The other educated youth still had things to buy, so they were not in a hurry, as the ox cart would not return to the village until around four in the afternoon anyway.
So, Ruan Mengmeng said goodbye to Xia Xiaojing and prepared to go back with Zhang Xinxin and others.
Several people walked out of the state-owned hotel together and headed home.
The bald man's ox cart couldn't move now. The few people had bought everything they wanted and didn't want to wait any longer.
I had no choice but to walk back. Anyway, I was full, so I might as well consider it as exercise.
After more than an hour, Zhangjia Village appeared vaguely in front of us.
"Oh, I'm so tired, but we're finally almost there!"
Zhang Xinxin bent down, supported his knees, and let out a long sigh.
“Drink some water!”
Ruan Mengmeng handed over her kettle.
"Yes, thank you!"
After taking a few big gulps, Zhang Xinxin felt much better.
After entering the village, Zhang Sinian and others first went to the Youth League Home with Ruan Mengmeng to deliver the things she bought.
The Youth League Home was quiet and there was no one there. At this time, everyone went to work in the fields.
If the new educated youth hadn't had a day off, Ruan Mengmeng would probably be in the fields at this time.
Only after entering the Youth League Home did everyone gain a new understanding of the Youth League’s residence.
There was almost nothing in the empty yard.
Ruan Mengmeng said that they cooked separately, and there was no shed built, let alone a stove.
Fortunately, there is enough space for us to live in here, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable if we were crowded like in other places.
It was not convenient for two grown men, Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai, to enter the girl's room, so they could only hand the things to Ruan Mengmeng.
There was nothing wrong with Zhang Xinxin going back. Anyway, she had already reported to her mother Bai Rong before leaving.
She just had to go back before night, so she stayed to accompany Ruan Mengmeng.
"Xinxin, you're familiar with the village. If you have time later, come with me to see if there's anyone who can make cabinets. We can also find someone to tidy up the kitchen shed and stove!"
Ruan Mengmeng thought about it and decided to do everything she needed to do today while it was still early.
They have to go to work tomorrow, so they won't have any extra time.
"Why rush? My brother can do all this, just leave it to him. As for making the cabinet, I'll take you there later..."
"That's not good, I've already taken advantage of your family!"
Ruan Mengmeng frowned, a little reluctant.
From the moment she met Zhang Xinxin, she kept taking advantage of him.
She felt that it was really inappropriate for things to continue like this.
In this way, even the best relationship will eventually fall apart.
"What's the difference between you and me? Okay, that's it!"
Ignoring Ruan Mengmeng's refusal, Zhang Xinxin made the decision immediately and turned to Zhang Sinian behind him and said;
"Brother, I'll leave the shed and stove to you. I won't be going back yet!"
Then he added something else:
"Oh, by the way, brother, don't forget to bring over the iron pot and water tank we agreed on earlier!"
Holding Ruan Mengmeng's arm with a warm look on his face, Zhang Xinxin gave orders to his biological brother without any hesitation.
Zhang Sinian had no objection to this, as he had always had a good relationship with his sister.
It's because he was away on military duty for the past few years and wasn't at home very often that their relationship gradually became unfamiliar.
Now seeing her slowly returning to her former cheerful self, he was happy to see it happen.
What's more, the other party is that girl Ruan Mengmeng, so he would have even less objection.
"Um!"
He still responded to Zhang Xinxin's words with just one simple word.
He glanced outside Ruan Mengmeng's room and thought to himself that he would have to go back and find some wood, straw bricks, etc. to bring over.
The wooden door of this room is so broken, how can we survive the winter?
Besides, it doesn’t seem safe for two girls to live in there!
I looked outside again, and there really was nothing there.
We have to cook tomorrow, and this is no joke.
I also have to help her with the stove and other things today.
After making their plans, Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai turned and left.
After putting away the things she bought today, Ruan Mengmeng took her brother and Zhang Xinxin to the carpenter's house in the village.
Zhang Xinxin is quite familiar with the village.
She told me that there was a family at the east end of the village who specialized in making cabinets, tables, chairs and weaving baskets.
