Although the house is not small, it was very lively when so many people came at once.
While everyone was admiring the home-warming gifts brought by Du Chengran and his wife, a set of porcelain plate landscape paintings by famous artists, the doorbell rang again.
Lu Beicen glanced at Fang Nan and said with a smile: "Hurry up and open the door. It must be your doctor Zhan Da."
Fang Nan's cheeks fluttered with a hint of blush, and he quickly opened the door. But outside the door stood Chen Ke, who had not been seen for a long time. The joy and expectation in his eyes quickly turned into surprise: "I said you, the dragon has never seen you before."
Come on, just in time for the fun."
Chen Ke stretched his neck towards the living room, saw Du Chengran and Li Yang, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "What kind of wind is this that brings these two great gods to our house?"
Fang Nan pursed her lips: "Do you have any sense of what you say? When did Xiaobei's house become yours?"
"It's a big family in the community, right? Let's talk about the three of us, who follows whom? Mr. Du, do you think there's nothing wrong with what I say?"
Du Chengran took a few steps towards the entrance and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, come in quickly. I kept asking you to drink, but I didn't even make it."
Chen Ke took off his shoes and went barefoot, and slipped in from Fang Nan: "Look what you said, when I'm with Teacher Du, I'm always on call, or I'm always on business trips, and I can't get together. Otherwise, next time
If Mr. Du makes another blockbuster, take me with him to study."
Chen Ke didn't need an introduction from Lu Beicen. Looking at a room full of unfamiliar faces, he nodded and introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, my name is Chen Ke, and I am Xiaobei Xiaonan. We are junior high school classmates and now live in the same community.
My best friends, oh, by the way, Teacher Li and Teacher Du are the teachers that Xiaobei and I share in our workplace, seniors, and the great masters in our station."
Li Yang laughed out loud: "Okay, Xiao Chen, if you blow it again, you will blow our faces, Lao Du's and mine's face."
Chen Ke laughed and said: "I only tell the truth," and then his eyes fell on Lu Beihao: "Are you Ahao? You are much more handsome in person than in the photo."
Lu Beihao nodded in surprise: "Hello, Brother Chen, I am Lu Beihao. Have you seen my photo?"
"That's necessary. Your sister and I have a strong relationship."
Fang Nan saw Chen Ke's attitude of being a master, curled his lips and said: "Chen Ke, that's it. Now that you're here, you can't eat for nothing. Is there a bar at home?"
"Hey, Xiao Nan, maybe we just have a good understanding of each other, so I'll see if I can have a meal together. If I have some, I'll go home and get some wine. There are so many people, why don't you bother Ah Hao and me to go over there?
Next door, let’s go get some wine.”
Lu Beihao looked at Lu Beicen: "Sister, do you have wine at home?"
Lu Beicen nodded: "I prepared a few bottles of red wine..."
Chen Ke waved his hand: "Come on, just prepare your bottles of wine first. I have a private collection. There are two great masters in the house today, so I have to contribute."
Fang Nan said to Lu Beihao: "Ah Hao, go quickly. Listen to Sister Nan, keep your eyes bright, and take the good wine when you see it. You can't take advantage of this kid."
Lu Beihao didn't say anything when he saw Lu Beicen, and followed Chen Ke neatly.
Looking at the closed door, Du Chengran smiled and said: "Not to mention, you old classmates live in the same community, so it's good to have someone to take care of you."
Wen Mengran nodded with a look of longing: "Auntie, you said that I want to tell my mother to buy a house in this community and live with my colleagues as neighbors. Can my mother agree?"
Li Yang smiled gently, but his words directly knocked Wen Mengran's thoughts away: "I think there is nothing wrong with your mother's place. Your father has decided to move here with you."
Wen Qing also added something later: "Well, it seems like something that uncle can do."
Wen Mengran glared at Wen Qing angrily: "Forget it, Xiaobei, look where you put the meat I bought for you."
"Don't hold Xiaobei behind. She is the chef today. Come on, Xiaobei, do you need my help?"
Fang Nan took a few steps inside and greeted Wen Mengran: "Let's go, I also like to raise more meat."
Lu Beicen smiled at Sister Li and shook his head: "I'm almost ready. Now I just need to steam the fish heads brought by Mr. Wen and stir-fry a few side dishes." As he spoke, he glanced at the peeled fish heads on the table.
Half of the broad beans were filled, and Jiang Zhongze got up from the sofa with a tacit understanding: "Teacher Du, Mr. Wen, you can do whatever you want. I still have a task to complete."
Du Chengran put the porcelain paintings into the packaging box and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you're welcome, but Xiaobei really knows how to find helpers. Mr. Jiang probably doesn't do much housework at home."
"Teacher Du, just call me Zhongze. Usually there are not enough people at home, so it's not my turn."
Wen Qing seemed to be in a hurry and asked: "I wonder what industry Mr. Jiang is engaged in?"
Jiang Zhongze smiled a little distantly: "I am temporarily unemployed, so I have been free to shell beans recently."
Li Yang walked to the dining table and said with a smile: "Zhongze, why don't you go talk and I'll peel it off."
Jiang Zhongze shook his head, looked at the kitchen with a smile, lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Li, I am just a freeloader. If I don't do anything, I will be disliked."
Li Yang opened the dining chair and sat down, and said funnyly: "Is Xiaobei so cruel? I've been in the same office with her for so long, why didn't I notice it?"
Jiang Zhongze kept moving his hands, nodded and said: "Well, it's very fierce. I almost didn't get the meal today."
"It's normal for girls to be pampered at home. For a girl like Xiaobei, who has a good personality, is good at reading, and is good at cooking, the boys in your family will definitely let her...
…”
Jiang Zhongze stopped moving his hands, glanced at the kitchen and said softly: "Teacher Li, Xiaobei and I are not related. I am just Ahao's cousin."
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding Jiang Zhongze's intention, but obviously it was difficult to continue this topic, so he just nodded and stopped talking.
Listening to the sound of the range hood in the kitchen, Jiang Zhongze suddenly asked: "Teacher Li, did Xiaobei encounter something at work? She seems to have suddenly changed her job."
Li Yang even felt that Jiang Zhongze was a bit hard to see through. He just shook his head and said, "It's nothing. She just wants to get some real front-line experience. There are many types of directors on the stage."
Jiang Zhongze was deep in thought, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wen Qing sneaking into the kitchen.
Lu Beicen was concentrating on stir-frying the vegetables in the pot. When he turned around, he saw Wen Qing standing next to the refrigerator, with a gentle smile on his face and the light soy bottle in his hand shaking.
"Mr. Wen, this place is full of oil fumes. You'd better go out and sit down."
"It's pleasing to the eye, Xiaobei, you look good cooking." Wen Qing was ready for a showdown at any time.
Lu Beicen's heart twitched, but he could only pretend as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Wen was joking, the kitchen is a bit crowded, don't get Mr. Wen's clothes dirty."
"It's just a piece of clothing, it's not worth anything. Xiaobei, please don't be so polite to me..."
"Xiaobei, are so many beans enough? Mr. Wen, Xiaobei is right. Your outfit is almost worth the price of half the kitchen. It's a pity that it's dirty." Jiang Zhongze's voice suddenly sounded.
