There was a knock on the door, Xu Xincheng stopped, put down the book in his hand, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and at 10:59, it was the time he had agreed with Jiang Shuwen and Xia Mulan.

He hurriedly clipped the bookmark to the page he was reading, put the book back on the shelf, and said "Here, please wait", as he got up from his chair, strode to the door, and opened the door.

Xu Xincheng's rental house is in an old residential building, which was built by a large state-owned enterprise in Guangzhou in the late 80s for its employees, and there are exactly 8 buildings in total, and there are 12 staff apartment buildings, a total of 20 buildings, 20 buildings are connected to form a community.

Each building has 9 floors, each floor has 12 suites, each suite is exactly the same, all 20 square meters, are a single room with a kitchen and a toilet, each building also has 9 floors, each floor has 12 apartments, each apartment has 60 square meters, two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one toilet and a small balcony.

All the employees and their families have long since ceased to live here, and all the suites and apartments have been rented out to the same Guangpiao as him.

There are more than 100 young people living in the building where he lives, and in order to facilitate communication, everyone has set up a WeChat group.

This WeChat group has become a communication platform for everyone, and everyone will discuss matters such as corridor guards, power grid maintenance, network sharing, etc. There are almost all experts in the building, who has a broken computer, a broken TV, or even a sick person, as long as they ask for help in the group, there will always be experts in related fields who will volunteer to help.

This building is more orderly than the dormitory buildings in the university, after 11 p.m., everyone will consciously quiet down, and occasionally there will be people who have too much fun and forget the time, as long as they go over and knock on the door to remind them, they will apologize to everyone, and then immediately quiet down.

Although occasionally a very small number of people will have some conflicts and disputes because of noise, pet dogs and other issues, but the vast majority of contradictions and disputes can always be solved in a short time, if they really can't solve it, others will intervene in time, and under everyone's communication and coordination, the problem can always be solved smoothly in the end.

During the year that Xu Xincheng lived here, there were no major accidents in the building, no serious disputes, and no fights. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is not easy for everyone to work hard in a big city, everyone is Guangpiao, and Guangpiao and Guangpiao should be considerate of each other, humble to each other, and treat each other.

Generally speaking, the relationship between everyone is very good and very harmonious, and the whole building has basically formed a self-organization of self-construction, self-maintenance, self-management, self-restraint, mutual exchange, mutual benefit and mutual care. Everyone often laughs in the group and says that the goal of a harmonious society has been basically achieved here.

On weekends and holidays, everyone will also launch activities in WeChat groups and meet together, but most people choose to play cards and mahjong or play online games, and only Xu Xincheng, Jiang Shuwen and Xia Mulan choose to read books together.

The three of them often go to the bookstore together, read books together, and from time to time they will hold reading exchange meetings to share the books they have just read, and sometimes they will designate a book that all three of them like, and after reading it intensively, they will make an appointment for in-depth exchanges and discussions on that book.

Xu Xincheng opened the door, and Xia Mulan, who was full of smiles, greeted loudly and enthusiastically: "Xincheng, good afternoon! Happy Dragon Boat Festival!"

Jiang Shuwen, who was standing behind Xia Mulan, also said hello: "Good afternoon! Happy holidays!"

He smiled the same way and greeted them warmly: "Mulan, Brother Shuwen, good afternoon! Happy Dragon Boat Festival!"

He opened the door wide and stood against the wall, while raising his right hand and making a standard please gesture, and said enthusiastically, "Come in, two of you!"

Generally speaking, Xu Xincheng is out of the venue, Jiang Shuwen is responsible for grocery shopping, and Xia Mulan is the chef.

The reason why he will be here for every dinner party is because his room is the cleanest, and secondly, because among the three of them, only his kitchen utensils and tableware are the most complete, and his kitchen is also the cleanest and tidy.

From time to time, he cooks his own meals at home, so he buys all the kitchen utensils and cutlery, and he always keeps the kitchen and room tidy and tidy. Xia Mulan once praised his room as a model of hygiene and cleanliness for the entire building.

"What good things have you bought today? So many!" Xu Xincheng looked at the three large environmental protection bags that Jiang Shuwen was carrying, and hurriedly reached over to help carry them as he asked.

Without waiting for Jiang Shuwen to answer, Xia Mulan said with a smile: "We just bought nine zongzi in the supermarket, and also bought white radish, sea cucumber, squid, chicken, mutton, green onions, etc., the old lady is going to cook our traditional Henan famous dishes Luoyang Yancai and scallion grilled mutton for the two of you today, and give you a Dragon Boat Festival with Henan characteristics." ”

Xia Mulan always likes to refer to herself as an "old lady" when she speaks, but she is actually only a year older than Xu Xincheng, she is a native of Henan, majoring in administrative management at Sun Yat-sen University, and stayed in Guangzhou to work after graduating from her bachelor's degree the year before last, and is currently working as an assistant to the administrative director of a medium-sized foreign company.

Xia Mulan has a straightforward and heroic personality, and she is a full female man, but she looks very beautiful and delicate, with obliquely parted shoulder-length hair, Yali face, lying silkworm eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, pointed nose, and small mouth.

She looks dignified and gentle when she is quiet and serious, but when she lets go of her hands and feet, she shows her true colors as a woman everywhere, open-minded, optimistic and positive, and does things vigorously and resolutely, capable and resolute.

Xu Xincheng also smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it! We have a big mouth of blessing today!"

He took the three bags of ingredients in Jiang Shuwen's hand and said, "Brother Shuwen, please take a seat." I'll just get it done with Mulan, and as before, your only task is to eat well. ”

Jiang Shuwen is a typical technical man, he has never fried or cooked in his life, and every time he has a dinner, Xu Xincheng and Xia Mulan cook and cook.

Jiang Shuwen was still the same as usual, and said shyly: "Then it's hard for you." ”

Xu Xincheng said while carrying the dishes to the kitchen: "During this time, I bought a few more books, all of which are on the bookshelf, the second floor. ”

"Good. Thank you!"
