"It smells so good! We are in for a treat today!"
Tian Kai, a foodie, walked over here, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and praised with sparkling eyes.
"If you like, eat more later. I made more!"
Knowing that there were two grown men present, she deliberately prepared a little more food, fearing that they would not have enough to eat.
By the time Ruan Mengmeng brought out the food, everyone had wiped their hands.
"Everyone, sit down!"
Ruan Mengmeng glanced at the few people and didn't understand why they were standing there stupidly.
"There are only four stools, so I'll just eat standing up!"
Tian Kai looked at the four stools around him and volunteered to speak.
If there is something delicious, he has no objection to eating it while standing or even lying down.
"Brother Tian Kai, please sit down. I'm short and can't reach the food if I sit there. It's just right to eat standing up!"
Ruan Zilong, who was helping to place chopsticks on everyone's bowls, expressed his thoughts.
He was quite short, and couldn't reach it at all when he sat there to eat.
A wasted spot.
Moreover, these people are all good friends of my sister and him, and can be considered guests in the house.
As the host, he also has his own way of entertaining guests.
However, he did not lie. He ate while standing up on his own accord.
"Hurry up and sit down. Zilong is short, so he can eat while standing!"
If you hesitate any longer, the food will be cold.
When a few people heard this, they thought it made sense, so they stopped talking, sat down one by one, and started eating.
"Wow, today they have my favorite spicy and sour fish!"
Zhang Xinxin's saliva was almost flowing out.
It has been so long since she last had this dish that she couldn’t even remember!
The moment Zhang Xinxin saw the spicy and sour fish fillets, her eyes instantly became bright.
"Well, eat more!"
Ruan Mengmeng picked up a large piece of fish and put it into her bowl, and added another piece for Ruan Zilong who was standing next to her.
The fish tasted sour, spicy and chewy, and Zhang Xinxin felt very comfortable after eating it.
“Mmmmm, delicious!”
While eating, she kept nodding at Ruan Mengmeng, and did not forget to give a thumbs up with the hand holding the chopsticks.
Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai didn't say anything at all, but expressed their taste directly through actions.
Seeing that the food she cooked was so popular, Ruan Mengmeng felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Is there anything more gratifying than having your achievements recognized?
The whole meal took several people about half an hour.
Not only did they finish the whole pot of rice, but even the few big white steamed buns that Ruan Mengmeng brought out were eaten up clean.
Patting his bulging belly, Zhang Xinxin burped.
"It's so delicious, I accidentally ate a little too much, hehe..."
"Yes, we are in for a treat! The cooking here is even better than at a state-owned restaurant!"
Tian Kai raised his thumb and echoed.
"Eat your fill, come and work!"
Zhang Sinian's devilish voice came.
Zhang Xinxin and Tian Kai looked at each other.
No way, is this guy a Zhou Paopi?
They had just finished their meal and they were already being called to work!
However, the two men did not dare to resist. They obediently picked up the tools on the ground and walked towards the room.
"Mengmeng, where is the key to this room?"
Ruan Mengmeng, who was cleaning up the dishes, suddenly remembered that the door of the room was still locked!
"for you!"
She took the key out of her pocket and threw it over.
Tian Kai stretched out his hand and caught the key accurately before Zhang Xinxin.
Like Ruan Mengmeng, he tried the keys one by one before finally opening the wooden doors of all three rooms.
After collecting the dishes, Ruan Mengmeng first put everything into the backpack she brought.
Then, cover it with a rag and place it in an empty place.
Then she picked up the tools on the ground and walked into the house with the others.
Inside the room, the windows were broken into pieces, there was a musty smell all around, and all kinds of weeds grew on the ground.
There were worn-out clothes, and tilted cabinets, tables, and chairs on the floor of the room.
The sunlight filtered through the cracks in the tiles, illuminating several people and the floor of the house, leaving a mottled scene.
Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai picked up their sickles without saying a word and started harvesting the weeds on the ground.
After all, inside the house is not like outside, so there is not much sunlight coming in.
Therefore, the weeds do not grow so aggressively, only slightly yellow patches.
It is not as tall as the weeds outside, and its roots are not as strong.
Compared to the weeds outside, it looks a little malnourished.
Two men mowing weeds.
Ruan Mengmeng and Zhang Xinxin took shovels and slowly shoveled together all the broken tiles, dirt and weed roots on the ground.
Even Ruan Zilong was not idle. He squatted there and picked up the garbage on the ground bit by bit.
After cleaning up this room, several people started moving to the next room.
By the time all three rooms were cleaned, it was already a little after 5:30 when the sun was setting.
The large thermos of warm water that Ruan Mengmeng brought was almost finished.
Several people were sweating and their bodies were dirty.
Still, the results were good.
Looking at the empty house and the neat and clean yard, everyone's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Everyone has worked hard today, let's call it a day!"
Ruan Mengmeng leaned the shovel in her hand against the eaves, signaling everyone to finish.
A few people put all the tools away and took the remaining garbage out the door to throw it away.
Finally, Ruan Mengmeng asked the three people to go back to the Youth League Home with her for dinner, but they refused.
The reason was that Zhang Xinxin felt that Ruan Mengmeng had been busy all day and must be tired, so they decided not to go.
Not to mention Zhang Sinian.
Ruan Mengmeng worked non-stop, and he felt tired just watching her. He definitely didn't want to trouble her again.
It was just a matter of a meal, and the three of them thought that they could just go home and eat.
In addition, after what happened to Liu Jianing last time, the two men really didn't want to go to the Youth League Home again.
I'm afraid of meeting her again and being harassed by her, which would be disgusting.
"Once you've cleaned up here, we'll come over for a meal even without you treating us!"
Zhang Xinxin patted his chest and made the promise.
"That's fine, it's a deal. Once I'm done cleaning up, I'll treat you guys to a delicious meal!"
Seeing that the three people were tired after working all day, Ruan Mengmeng did not try to persuade them. After all, there would be plenty of time later.
After moving out, it is indeed much quieter.
Eating together at that time can also avoid a lot of trouble.
"No problem, it's settled!"
