Chapter 545: Friends
"Brother Hyunyun, this is the best longevity noodle I've ever tasted." Manjing's eyes were full of smiles, and she drank all the soup in the noodle bowl.
Seeing this, Qiao Xianyun smiled warmly and said, "If you like it, I will continue to make noodles for you to eat next time." β
Manjing nodded spontaneously when she heard this.
When she was in Nanshan Village and Luzhen, they mostly ate rice, but Manjing was very fond of pasta, whether it was steamed buns, pancakes or noodles, as long as it was made of flour, she loved to eat, and after coming to Kyoto, her staple food gradually changed from rice to cakes or buns.
It's just that she grew up in the south, and she is not very good at making noodles, but now when she eats the noodles made by Qiao Xianyun herself, she only feels smooth and strong, and it is very delicious.
After the two finished eating, they nestled directly on the sofa, each found a book, and read it leisurely.
The quiet time slipped by the fingertips, even if the two didn't talk too much, just leaning together to read a book, but the warmth of the room was so warm that people couldn't ignore it.
And Qiao Xianyun touched Manjing's hair while reading a book, and only felt that such a quiet time was really beautiful, and he couldn't help but want to keep this moment.
In the evening, Qiao Xianyun began to prepare the dishes, and it took about an hour and a half to prepare a large table of dishes.
Manjing really didn't do anything at all, and even the dishes and chopsticks were arranged by Qiao Xianyun.
Looking at a large table of dishes full of color and aroma, Manjing gently hugged Qiao Xianyun and said softly: "Brother Xianyun, thank you for your hard work." β
Qiao Xianyun touched Manjing's hair and said, "It's not hard at all, hurry up and eat, I'll take you out for a walk after eating." β
And when the two finished eating, Qiao Xianyun cleaned up for a while, and then the two went out hand in hand.
Manjing was not familiar with the surroundings, but Qiao Xianyun should have been here many times, so she took Manjing to walk around and told her what was here, what was there, where the vegetable market was, and what new shops were on the street.
Manjing listened carefully one by one and wrote them all down.
When the two walked for almost an hour and came back, Manjing felt that the two of them were like old husbands and wives who had lived for many years, took a walk after eating, and then returned home.
This kind of life is both plain but warm, so the corners of Manjing's mouth are always smiling.
The two spent a good day here, and the next morning Qiao Xianyun sent Manjing back to the courtyard.
After that, Manjing began to study diligently again.
At the beginning of the new year, Manjing continued to study hard, usually except for the school or Qiao's family at home, and such days passed quickly, and it didn't take long for her to usher in the midterm exam.
Hu Xia saw Manjing's efforts in her eyes, and on the eve of the exam, she couldn't help but invite: "Manjing, come to my house for dinner this Saturday, my mother has been talking to you for a long time, and it's not a way for you to push yourself too hard like this, you must always relax and relax, otherwise, you will be very tired." β
The relationship between Manjing and Hu Xia is getting better and better, so Manjing only hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Hu Xia was very happy to see Manjing agree, and then invited: "On Saturday, let Ah Hong and Cattail come over together, it is rare for everyone to get together to talk, and there are more people and more lively." β
After getting acquainted with Manjing, the relationship between Hu Xia and Guo Hong Cattail is also a lot closer, everyone is a little girl of the same age, so they get together on a chatter, and they have a lot of topics, and they all become good friends after a while.
Manjing nodded noncommittally when she heard this.
And on Saturday, the three of them went directly to Hu's house together.
Hu Xia saw that everyone was coming, and hurriedly welcomed them into the house.
And Mother Hu also warmly entertained her daughter's friends, she knew Manjing, and she was not very familiar with the other two little girls, but her daughter had also mentioned it to her before, so she knew who was who after a little recognition.
Hu's mother wanted to prepare lunch, so she directly asked her daughter to take a few little girls to Hu Xia's room to talk.
When it was noon, several people were preparing to eat, but they didn't expect Hu Yun to come back.
When Hu's mother saw her son, she couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say that you had something to do today?" β
"It's done."
Hu Yun replied with a smile, then looked at Manjing and the others and said, "Manjing, it's rare for you to come, but you have to eat more." β
Manjing smiled and nodded.
After getting acquainted with Hu Xia, he also had a few encounters with Hu Yun, but the two were not very familiar with each other.
And Hu Mu asked on the side, "What about you?" Have you eaten? β
Hu Yun shook his head.
Seeing this, Hu Mu immediately got up and went to get another pair of dishes and chopsticks, "Then you can also sit down and eat." β
The three members of the Hu family plus the three of them, and several people talked and laughed and ate a meal.
The Manjing and the others stayed until the evening before returning home.
Hu Xia was a little reluctant, and finally Manjing said: "When we go to school, we will meet again, and there are ...... I'll replace you with a guest at our house next weekend. β
Hu Xia nodded happily in agreement.
And when Hu Xia saw her eldest brother as soon as she entered the door, she couldn't help but say seriously, "Big brother, do you still like manjing?" β
Although it was because her eldest brother was interested in Manjing that she got close to Manjing at the beginning, but now she and Manjing have become good friends, and she also knows that Manjing has a fiancΓ©, so she naturally doesn't want her eldest brother to have such thoughts.
Hu Yun couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "You girl, now you are facing outsiders, not towards your brother at all." β
Hu Xia pursed his lips and said, "Big brother, I'm just talking about things, not to mention that I've also seen Manjing's fiancΓ©, who is really a very good person, so don't have other ideas." β
Seeing his sister's preachy appearance, Hu Yun couldn't help but smile, "Okay, okay, what you said is right, go back to your room and do your homework, I still have something to do, and I will go out later." β
"Why come back if you have something else to do?"
Hu Xia muttered, and then walked to her room.
And Hu Yun couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes were a little complicated, what his sister said was right, he still has a good impression of Manjing, he only felt that this girl was deeply attracted to his attention, but knowing that she had a fiancΓ© and knew that she was doing well, it was enough.
After the three of them returned to the courtyard, they also discussed the affairs of the Hu family.
Guo Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hu Xia's family treats people really well, and Hu Xia's brother is always warm and moist when he laughs, and he is also a good person." β
The Hu family is indeed not bad, and it is rare to make a pertinent comment, then he looked at Hu Xia and said: "Okay, don't talk about Hu Xia's family here, let's hurry up and read the book, the midterm exam is coming soon." β
