Chapter 131: Chapter 131 The He Siblings Come to Say Goodbye
"I’ve already brought everything, hurry up, it’ll all get cold soon."
Song Yi also brought a lot of food, like luncheon meat and half a cabbage.
It was rare to see fresh vegetables, so everyone was very happy.
Ye Mianmian was busy in the kitchen, first cooking a bowl of noodles for Grandma Ye.
Her teeth weren’t good, she couldn’t eat anything too hard, nor too spicy.
Last time, she didn’t join the hot pot gathering, and this time was no different.
Moreover, she didn’t want to join the young people’s gathering.
Everything was soon ready, still very abundant.
Ye Mianmian took out a big bucket of fruit-flavored orange drink and poured a cup for Xiao Nuan.
It was all pre-warmed, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t stop her.
The little one was extremely happy to be out.
"Ah, that’s the taste..."
Zhang Kaiyang sniffed, squinting his eyes, a face full of enjoyment.
"Okay, let’s get the dipping sauces ready, the pot is boiling."
"Alrighty!"
The atmosphere was very cheerful, as having hot pot in this kind of weather was indeed a great fortune.
The gathering was uninhibited, sweeping away the gloom that had been hanging over them.
"Have you all been going out recently?"
While Ye Mianmian put the cured meat into the sesame sauce, she asked what was on her mind.
"Go out for what, it’s so cold, my ears are about to freeze off."
Zhang Kaiyang replied indifferently, then quickly and deftly picked up a piece of luncheon meat from the pot.
"Brother Song, Sister Yuan, what do you think?"
Song Yi didn’t say anything but looked towards Jhiang Yuan.
Puting the pressure on her wasn’t an issue.
"I don’t know, let’s see how it goes. Actually, I’m quite curious about that supermarket."
With her leading, everyone started speaking their minds.
Ye Mianmian was on the opposing side, advising against going.
"Sister Yuan, we have food and drink now. There will definitely be a lot of people going out.
The neighborhoods around here, the villagers on the mountain, the people left in the school.
When there’s a crowd, it can get chaotic. Better not to take the risk."
"Yeah, even our building is a mess now, who knows what it’s like outside.
People are unpredictable, better to be cautious."
The second opposer, Comrade Zhang Kaiyang, also came online.
Jhiang Yuan understood their concerns and didn’t argue the point.
Her motives were not entirely pure, after all.
She couldn’t just say it was for money, or they would surely ask her what she needed so much money for?
How could she answer that, when the secret of the space couldn’t be disclosed?
"Hmm, so that’s why, depending on the situation, I also want to see if there are any fresh vegetables or fruits.
If it’s not safe, I won’t go out.
Let’s eat quickly, this meat is going to get tough."
Saying this, Jhiang Yuan hurried everyone to eat.
Song Yi looked at her, not saying anything but feeling that she would still go out.
"However, that supermarket is really impressive; what kind of person is the owner to be able to open at this time?
Admirable courage, truly admirable!"
Ye Mianmian rolled her eyes at Zhang Kaiyang. This kid still hadn’t entered society, hadn’t been battered by reality, and was utterly naive about some things...
"Don’t be sarcastic here. The owner must be extraordinary, having been in business for so many years, the connections, the channels for getting goods, all of that isn’t something ordinary people can match."
"We won’t go either, so let’s stop thinking about all the what-ifs."
"I’m just discussing it, that’s all... no other intention..."
Jhiang Yuan watched the two of them go back and forth as if they were squabbling, yet somehow there was a strange air of intimacy between them.
Didn’t Song Yi realize that he was taken with Ye Mianmian? Or was he just a slowpoke, completely oblivious to the situation?
She silently served vegetables to her daughter, deciding it was best not to get involved in these matters.
The hotpot meal lasted three hours, and in the end, there was not even any soup left.
"Let’s open the windows to air out the smell. The smoke will go up and nobody will notice."
Ye Mianmian was still very nervous, afraid that carelessness might add new worries to old grudges.
"That’s for sure. It’s so cold; who would open windows just for fun? Don’t worry!"
Zhang Kaiyang took charge, urging everyone to put on their clothes because he was going to open the windows wide.
Worried about her child catching cold, Jhiang Yuan was already tidying up and preparing to take Xiao Nuan home.
Naturally, Song Yi was also planning to follow them. But just as they opened the door, they heard a knock.
The knocks were soft, as if the person outside was hesitant.
They exchanged glances, and Ye Mianmian, who was about to close the door, stopped in her tracks.
She gestured for Zhang Kaiyang to come over, and along with Xiao Nuan, the five of them stared at the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
Song Yi signaled to Ye Mianmian to open the door.
He positioned himself next to the door as a precaution.
Zhang Kaiyang followed suit, taking up a position on the other side of the door.
Jhiang Yuan covered Xiao Nuan’s mouth and retreated into the room, leaving the door ajar.
Once everyone was ready, they gave Ye Mianmian a look, and she took a deep breath.
"Who is it?"
As she spoke, she opened the inside door.
There was no need to open the exterior door to see who it was.
"Huh, Xingxing, Yueyue, what brings you here?"
It was He Xing and He Yue. Jhiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, reminded Xiao Nuan to sit on the couch without making any noise, and then she too went outside.
"Sister Mian, we are going to the assistance center tomorrow. My mom asked me to come over and tell you.
The house has been cleaned up. Thank you for taking us in during this time. Thank you!"
With that, he and He Yue began to kowtow to her.
"Hey, what are you doing? Get up quickly..."
Ye Mianmian opened the front door as well, moving to help the two kids up.
Song Yi, Zhang Kaiyang, and Jhiang Yuan also came over.
"To all the brothers and sisters here, thank you for saving our family of three. We will repay you in the future.
Now that we’re going to the assistance center, we don’t know when we’ll see each other again.
Let my sister and me kowtow to you; it’s our way of showing our gratitude."
The kid was only fifteen and already knew so much about gratitude.
Far better than those who’d lived half their lives and still didn’t understand it.
Ye Mianmian was also moved and quickly helped them up.
"You’re leaving tomorrow. Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, we’ve decided. We have nothing here, and it’s cold. It’s unsafe for us to go out looking for things, so we wanted to hurry over there."
After all, it was an official setup, which naturally would be better, at least providing some assurance of personal safety.
"Alright then, give me a moment."
Ye Mianmian went back inside, while Jhiang Yuan looked at the children, whose facial injuries had healed, revealing fair skin underneath.
No wonder those two were monsters; both kids were attractive.
"Xingxing, Yueyue, listen to me. When you get back, smear some dirt or something on your faces.
Once you get to the assistance center, don’t clean yourselves up too much. Make yourselves look a bit dirty and unattractive, understand?"
