401: Late Gathering
As soon as the men's topic was gathered in the army, they couldn't hold back.
Zhang Xiulan said at the right time, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
Liu Cheng found out about this.
Immediately, he also asked, "yes, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
A few people smiled, not caring, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go back and find a place to eat in a while." ”
"How can this work?" Liu Cheng immediately decided, "When you come home, you can't be hungry." ”
When Liu Cheng looked over, Zhang Xiulan also smiled and got up, "You sit, I'll get you food now." ”
"Brother and sister, no need, it's too troublesome." It's past eight o'clock, and everyone is embarrassed to bother.
Zhang Xiulan didn't care, "I remember that there are still hot pot ingredients at home, I'll wash some vegetables and cut some meat, and you can just make hot pot and don't order a bar." ”
"This is good, eating hot pot in winter is just hot." Bai Song refused before, but now he is interested in hearing that there is hot pot to eat and drink.
The others followed suit, and the living room was lively for a while.
Li Meili also stood up and went to the kitchen, "I'll go and help too, I can't sit here and wait for food like you men." ”
then followed Zhang Xiulan into the kitchen.
Zhang Xiulan was not polite, "The two of them are also faster, then you can help me peel potatoes." ”
Now that the person has come in, what is there to be embarrassed to support her?
Li Meili was not unhappy, took the knife and sat at the table peeling potatoes, while asking, "How to eat this shabu-shabu?" ”
"Cut into slices, haven't you ever soaked them? There are also sweet potato slices. All delicious. Zhang Xiulan replied, took out the cabbage in her hand, and put it on the table. Cai said, "I'll go to the warehouse to find a piece of meat, you get it first." ”
"Okay." Li Meili responded with a smile.
Seeing Zhang Xiulan go out, the smile on her face fell, and her eyes looked in the kitchen, although it was no different from the kitchen at home, and even some things were not as good as her own home. But I don't know why, it looks warmer than at home.
And looking at Zhang Xiulan's appearance as a valet guest, Li Meili couldn't tell what it felt like in her heart. It's just that I really don't like this feeling, it's like I'm jealous of Zhang Xiulan.
Suppressing the feelings in her heart, Li Meili peeled four potatoes and cut the Chinese cabbage. Zhang Xiulan also came back with meat. He also had a few pickles in his hand.
In the winter, there is no preparation in advance, there are not many things that can be shabu-shabu, fortunately, tomorrow morning to fry the fungus cabbage, the fungus is soaked out in advance, so that you can also shabu-shabu, cabbage, potatoes, radish, carrots, mushrooms plus five full amount of pork belly, Zhang Xiulan plugged in the pot. Then he called the people in the living room to come over for dinner.
Li Meiyu helped set the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhang Xiulan went to get the wine. Soon the men moved from the living room to the kitchen.
Zhang Xiulan originally wanted to be stopped by Liu Cheng because she was upstairs, "You can also sit down and have a drink together, and there are no outsiders." ”
"yes, my brother and sister can't go up." Bai Song also smiled and kept it.
Zhang Xiulan was afraid that people would think too much, so she sat down next to Liu Cheng, the man drank liquor, and Zhang Xiulan and Li Meili took a bottle of beer.
The hot pot, plus pork belly, without other side dishes, can make the men have a great appetite, Zhang Xiulan has no amount of alcohol, and she is a little dizzy after only drinking one glass, but Li Meili can fight with the men.
In contrast, Zhang Xiulan fell into the picture.
In this regard, Zhang Xiulan didn't care, just sat quietly and listened to the men, Li Meili was still proud before, but slowly realized that she had always wanted to suppress Zhang Xiulan, and wanted Zhang Xiulan to understand that she was not in this circle, but Zhang Xiulan, who was sitting there quietly and listening, suddenly made Li Meili feel that she was a clown.
Suddenly, Li Meimei's enthusiasm for speaking also dropped, except for Zhang Xiulan who found out, the men didn't notice, and the more they drank, the louder they became, but fortunately, Zhang Xiulan had already expected it and closed the kitchen door.
By the time a few people got drunk and left Liu's house, it was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
Liu Cheng and Zhang Xiulan sent someone back, Zhang Xiulan asked Liu Cheng to go up to rest, and went directly to the kitchen, the kitchen smelled of smoke and wine, Zhang Xiulan opened the kitchen window before cleaning up, and then took the door to start cleaning up, and soaked the fungus to eat tomorrow morning, and when the kitchen was cleaned up, it was already half past twelve.
After sitting in the car for four days, and tossing until now, Zhang Xiulan felt hard to go upstairs, and when she returned to the house, she saw that Liu Cheng had taken off and was lying on the bed, with her back to her body, Zhang Xiulan thought she was asleep, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got into bed, she was pressed down by Liu Cheng.
Zhang Xiulan was startled, "You haven't slept yet?" ”
The smell of wine rushed to her face, Zhang Xiulan frowned, "It's too late, go to sleep, you drink so much wine, it won't affect your legs." ”
Liu Cheng buried his face in her neck, "Daughter-in-law, I've worked hard for you today." ”
"Fool, that's what I'm supposed to do." Zhang Xiulan was very moved.
Liu Cheng slid onto the bed and hugged the person in his arms, "Sleep, you don't have to get up early tomorrow, my mother won't call us." ”
This look of a scoundrel can only be seen when he drinks too much.
Zhang Xiulan didn't answer, her mother-in-law wouldn't call them, but the three children would come to them, and Liu Cheng next to her also slept, Zhang Xiulan yawned and closed her eyes.
The next day, Li Meili and her party went to the camp in the army's car, because of the hangover, her head was still aching faintly, and in Li Meimei's mind, Zhang Xiulan's quiet appearance like an orchid kept flashing, and she couldn't shake it off.
Guo Zhenyu sat next to Li Meimei, saw her silent all the way, and said with concern, "Are you okay?" Not feeling well? It seems that you drank a lot yesterday, and Bai Song still has a headache. ”
Guo Zhenyu came back with them, but he just went back to his own house, who knew that they went to Liu Cheng's house again.
"It's okay, maybe I drank too much yesterday." Li Meili reluctantly pulled out a smile.
Guo Zhenyu hurriedly handed over the water cup, "I haven't drunk it yet, take a sip, and then sleep again, and it will be fine when you are in the camp, you are alone here, and you are a woman, but you have to take good care of yourself." ”
"Thank you." Li Meili took the kettle and remembered Liu Cheng's concern when she first came here.
But after beating Liu Cheng back from Shanghai, he became more and more cold, or he kept pulling the distance far away, which may have been an illusion at first, but after so long, Li Meili couldn't find it anymore, and he was a fool.
At this time, she can also be sure that Zhang Xiulan must have said something, otherwise Liu Cheng would not treat her like this, maybe she should find Zhang Xiulan lightly. (To be continued......)
