Chapter 251 Picnic
Zhou Dandan pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Around half past ten, the courtyard door was pushed open and Fang Mingxiao came in first, followed by two teenagers of similar age.
Jiang Yanqing had met one of them before. He was Su Chengyou who had helped her before. The other one was a stranger. He should be Murong Cheng.
Yao Ling ran out behind Jiang Yanqing, and when she saw Fang Mingxiao in front of her, her mouth opened wide, and she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
His chin trembled for a long time, and he pointed at Fang Mingxiao and said, "Xiaoqing, this is Fang Mingxiao from the third year of high school, right?"
Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao raised their eyebrows at the same time. Jiang Yanqing turned around and asked, "Do you know him?"
Yao Ling shook her head blankly. "How could I know him? He's the most handsome boy in our school, and he's also a very good student."
As he spoke, he hugged Jiang Yanqing's arm and shook it, and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Xiaoqing, how do you know him?"
This was not the end. When he saw Murong Cheng coming in behind him, he shouted in surprise again, "Ah, that, seems to be the transfer student from the third year of high school, Murong, Murong or something."
"Hey, why are you here?" He pointed at Su Chengyou who came in last.
Su Chengyou was also stunned for a moment, and asked, "Lingling, why are you here?"
After everyone sat down in the pavilion, Jiang Yanqing realized that it was really a coincidence that Su Chengyou was actually Yao Ling's cousin, and a blood brother at that.
They had just chatted for a few minutes when the door was knocked again. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao looked at each other and asked, "You invited me?"
Shaking his head at the same time, Jiang Yanqing stood up to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, a figure pounced on him and he fell backwards, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, Fang Mingxiao also followed and helped from behind, otherwise both of them would have fallen to the ground.
"Xiaoqing, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!" Since school started, the two haven't seen each other because Qiyun is also in his third year of high school and has a lot of homework.
Yao Ling also looked at the intimate posture of Fang Mingxiao and Jiang Yanqing with a look of horror, and slapped Su Chengyou on the thigh, "Cousin, it seems that Xiaoqing and Fang Mingxiao have a complicated relationship?"
Su Chengyou glanced at his silly cousin and said, "They are an engaged couple."
Fang Mingxiao never hid the fact that he was engaged early, but he did not make it public because he was worried about Jiang Yanqing's reputation.
But as Fang Mingxiao's only friend, Su Chengyou still knew it.
"What? An engaged couple, oh my God!" A scream instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the yard, and even scared Qi Wei, who followed Qi Yun in, and he almost sprained his ankle.
Jiang Yanqing rubbed his ears, looked at Yao Ling helplessly and said, "Lingling, what are you screaming about?"
As she spoke, Yao Ling had already rushed in front of Jiang Yanqing, grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook them vigorously, "Xiaoqing, you are so mean! You didn't even tell me that you were engaged, and to Fang Mingxiao!"
Jiang Yanqing looked innocent, "You didn't even ask!"
Yao Ling was instantly deflated, as if she really didn't ask, but it was so surprising that her good friend and the school hunk were an engaged couple.
To put it in modern terms, it feels like eating a shocking piece of melon.
They were all young people, the oldest of whom was only four or five years apart in age, and they quickly integrated into the group.
Including the Qiyun siblings who showed up later, there were eight of them in total. Cooking was too much trouble. Murong Cheng, who loved to play, suggested, "Now that the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, how about we find a place for a picnic?"
Jiang Yanqing's eyes lit up, "Sure, there are so many of us, and we can even barbecue. I have a stove and charcoal at home."
Qi Wei also nodded and said, "I know a place that is perfect for picnics, fishing, and fruit picking." It is a farm run by a relative.
They were all young people, and they loved to play at heart. Even the usually dull Fang Mingxiao had a look of anticipation on his face.
Jiang Yanqing took out all the vegetables she had bought that morning and a few more pieces of meat. Everyone started cutting the meat, washing the vegetables, and skewering them.
Jiang Yanqing packed the things she was going to bring. Strength lies in numbers, and after less than an hour of hard work, everything was almost ready.
On the way there, Fang Mingxiao and Jiang Yanqing rode in one car, the Qiyun siblings rode in another, Su Chengyou also rode a bicycle with Murong Cheng, and the remaining Yao Ling and Zhou Dandan just rode Jiang Yanqing's women's bicycle.
The farm was just outside the city. With Qi Wei leading the way, the group found a riverside spot, spread out blankets, set up a barbecue grill, and started their picnic.
When the meat skewers are sizzling with oil, sprinkle a pinch of barbecue seasoning on them, and the aroma will instantly burst out and swirl around everyone.
Yao Ling gulped, "It smells so good. I'm so hungry!"
Jiang Yanqing also touched her stomach. She hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time. It was so tempting.
As Murong Cheng shouted, "It's time to eat," the girls who were sitting and resting cheered and gathered over.
Eat a skewer, take a sip of soda, and talk about the ideals of life. Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the green grass, beside the gurgling river, this is the taste of youth.
