Wei Wenjie was nervous and didn't do anything else but stare at the food in the pot. He was a good cook, but his family mainly used light dishes, and he didn't know if she could get used to it.
“Do you eat salty food at home?”
Tian Xiaolan looked at his hand that picked up the salt shaker and said, "I'm fine with it. No need to add salt. If you eat too much and drink water at night, you'll have to find a toilet."
"Oh, okay."
I felt an indescribable feeling when she looked at me. I started to get nervous and my hand holding the spatula began to tremble unconsciously.
Li Weimin glanced around his house and came back to see why his hands were shaking. Could he be ill? He had to go arrest someone at night, and with his weak appearance, it was unclear whether he was the one arresting the person or the other.
Wei Wenjie saw the way he looked at him, and could tell it was a look of contempt. Although he was unhappy, he was Xiaolan's brother. "Come and have dinner! If I have anything good to treat you, I will definitely make something delicious for Xiaolan next time!"
The rice in the pot was so hot that the temperature soared.
"Why do you want it hotter? Why don't you just eat it directly?" He was very picky and thought that one should eat cold food on a hot day, but he didn't even say this.
"Because my dad has a bad stomach, he can't eat cold food. If you don't like hot food, just wait until it's cold before eating it." Wei Wenjie spoke to him patiently. It was good enough to have something to eat, why was he still picking and choosing.
After saying that, he took out a few bowls, scooped the rice out of the pot, wrapped the edges of the bowls with a dusty towel, and brought them to the square table outside, doing this back and forth several times.
He was already sweating from the heat of cooking, and after a few more moves, the sweat started to fall into his eyes, stinging slightly. He squinted one eye, insisted on washing the pot, and left a bowl aside for his father.
Wei Wenjie jokingly said, "Why are you still standing there? Do you still want me to treat you to a meal?"
Tian Xiaolan sat down, took a bite, and praised: "Wenjie, your cooking skills are pretty good! Have you ever thought about making some food to sell?"
"Thank you, I still have to help my dad with the stall, so I can't leave!"
Tian Xiaolan advised: "You can find time to do it. Isn't this a ready-made stall?"
"Let me think about it. If it tastes good, eat more." He handed her the untouched bowl in his hand.
"Ah? What are you doing for me?" Tian Xiaolan paused as she looked at the bowl in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Are you full?"
Li Weimin saw his hand was still in the air, so he reached out and took it. "I'm not full, give it to me!"
"Eat your ass!"
"Why are you still swearing? I just ate your meal, and you're still feeling bad for me!"
"I'm not scolding you. I'm giving it to Sister Xiaolan. Why are you snatching it?" Because they came suddenly, Wei Wenjie hadn't prepared anything yet, so he could only make do with what he had at lunch. There wasn't much left for lunch, and there wasn't enough time to cook now, so each person had to eat a little less so that everyone could get a meal.
Li Weimin said confidently, snatching the bowl from his hand with one hand and taking a sip: "You don't want to eat, and she doesn't want to eat either. What's wrong with me helping you share as your brother?"
"You eat what I eat, so why should we thank you?" Wei Wenjie was almost amused by his shamelessness. Sister Xiaolan didn't know how badly she would be bullied at home if she met such a big brother!
"If you don't want to eat it, then I'll eat it and it won't be a waste!" It was he who said he didn't want to eat it, and he didn't force him, so there was no need for him to look like he was dead.
Wei Wenjie wanted to curse, but Sister Xiaolan was beside him, so he had to suppress it and smiled: "It's okay, as long as you are full."
"It's okay, but the porridge makes me hungry easily. I can cook dry rice next time." Li Weimin expressed his feelings at the right time, hoping that he could make some improvements.
"?" Wei Wenjie was speechless. He didn't want to talk. It was enough to make him angry to death.
After dinner, Li Weimin took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them.
It was very hot in the afternoon, and from time to time some children came to buy sweet soup. They drank the sweet taste and felt better.
Wei Wenjie found a piece of charcoal and drew on the ground with it. After a while, the outline of Bao Gaoyuan's home came out. Among the people in the town, he knew the town's terrain best.
After drawing the general terrain, he began to explain without waiting for Li Weimin, "We are now at this location. To get here, we need to stand separately. To the left of his house is a toilet and a pile of pig manure. Each of us should stand in a different direction."
Tian Xiaolan looked at him and saw how he confidently explained what to do, and she couldn't help but look at him with admiration. She had treated him as a child before, but she didn't expect him to be so capable. He found that the terrain and other things on the map were exactly the same as in real life.
Night fell quietly. Wei Wenjie saw that his father had not come back yet and didn't know where he had gone to play, so he called a little boy to help look after him and promised to bring him some delicious candy when he came back.
Nowadays, you can bribe a girl with a piece of candy. But in the 21st century, don’t even think about coaxing a girl with a piece of candy because everyone is very wary.
Tian Xiaolan feels that people in this era are more kind, unlike in the future when there is more internet usage and more hostility. Everyone gets along with each other in a friendly manner and makes a lot of money together.
They did it right away. After Li Weimin washed the dishes, they went to the toilet and went straight to Bao Gaoyuan's house, ready to wait for him.
Speaking of stakeout, Zhou Dayong went home and quickly finished his meal. His mother said that he had worked hard and why did he have to go to see so late.
Zhou Dayong asked worriedly, "Isn't it because Wu Baopi always asks me to do this and that? Mom, have you fed them?"
"Hey!" The mother-in-law didn't dare to say that she didn't go, because she would be scolded to death. The family status of this family seemed to be reversed. It was Zhou Dayong who talked about his mother, not her mother who scolded Zhou Dayong. It was as if whoever earned money was the boss in this family.
"You have to feed them at night." If they don't feed them, they will die. The dog also has to eat, otherwise it will keep barking and disturbing them from sleeping.
"Okay, where else are you going?" The mother-in-law watched him drink two sips of water and tiptoe out again.
Zhou Dayong said casually: "I have to go and watch them again. I may not be back at night, so there is no need to hold the door open for me."
When he leisurely strolled to Zhou Qiaoqiao's house, he found that the door was still locked and it was silent inside. There was no sound when he was waiting there before.
After a while, Zhou Qiaoqiao came back from get off work and opened the door with her key. It was strange that there was someone in the room but she didn't shout to open the door.
She opened the door and went in. When she got inside, Zhou Qiaoqiao imitated Tian Xiaolan's voice and said, "Sister Zhou, you're back?"
His voice returned to his own: "Yeah! How did you sleep?"
"Very good, you must be tired, take a break!"
"Okay, you're really good kids!" Zhou Qiaoqiao sat down and continued, "Sister Zhou, I've been hungry for a long time. Let's eat quickly!"
"Okay, wash your hands!"
