Just when Zhou Yan was changing the method of brushing the map alone, the Mid-Autumn Festival appeared very suddenly.
Last year, Zhou Yan spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital. This year, Zhou Yan could only spend it with a group of friends in the dormitory.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just after dawn, the mobile phone on the bedside table rang.
The caller was Qin Ruoshu, who had returned home the day before. The caller was naturally Zhang comforting her boyfriend who couldn't go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, Zhou Yan could hear a hint of schadenfreude in this person's tone.
"Lao Zhou, the pastry place made a batch of mooncakes yesterday..."
Zhou Yan glanced at the refrigerator in the living room and felt a little proud: "I bought some materials yesterday and planned to make a batch of mooncakes myself."
Qin Ruoshu's curiosity was suddenly aroused: "What fillings did you buy?"
"Bean paste, lotus paste, chestnuts, and egg yolks..." Zhou Yan smiled and twirled his fingers and listed a lot.
"I want to eat, too……"
"Then there's nothing we can do," Zhou Yan smiled mischievously, "How about I keep it for you until National Day?"
"Then forget it..."
Being disturbed by Qin Ruoshu, Zhou Yan couldn't even sleep. He had to get up, ran to the school playground to stretch his muscles, and enjoyed the large bucket of porridge made from a bowl of rice in the cafeteria before returning to his residence.
Adjust the fillings, knead the dough, then wrap the fillings, press them into shapes, and finally bake them in the refrigerator. When the last batch of mooncakes was baked, the mooncakes had just been put into the oven when the cell phone in the bedroom suddenly rang.
Why is it that the more we celebrate the festival, the more things happen?!
Reluctantly, I got up from the sofa and trotted to the bedroom. I picked up my phone and saw that it was Xu Wenqiang who had been out of contact for more than a month.
"Hey, Brother Qiang?"
"Yanzi, are you going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Zhou Yan was immediately confused: "Fly back, stay at home for an hour or two, and then fly back?"
"Then there's no place to go. Why don't you come with me to my house?"
"No need," Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and said, "You are taking your girlfriend home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so what's the point of bringing me with you? Besides, I've already made an appointment with my classmates tonight..."
"It's okay not to celebrate the holidays with us, Yanzi. Our team gave out mooncake gift boxes for the holidays. Anyway, I don't want to take them home. Where are you now..."
Zhou Yan glanced at the golden mooncakes in the oven, smiled dryly and shook his head: "No need..."
"Do you believe that I can dig out your current coordinates with just a phone call?"
Faced with Xu Wenqiang's threat, Zhou Yan had no choice but to tell the truth: "Jindun Community, Building 25, Unit 1, 302."
"You come out and live, I'll be there soon..."
Less than five minutes later, Zhou Yan heard heavy footsteps in the corridor, and then a knock on the door...
"Please come in!"
After entering the door, Xu Wenqiang carefully looked at the furnishings, furniture, electrical appliances, etc. in the room. They were all new.
"Brother, have you bought the house?" Xu Wenqiang is not one of Zhou Yan's inexperienced roommates. It can be seen at a glance that the furnishings in the room are the warmest home style.
“I heard from an acquaintance that the value of the house is going to increase, so it’s cheaper to rent than to buy!”
"By the way," Xu Wenqiang put the mooncake gift box in his hand on the coffee table with a smile, sat down on the sofa, raised his head and smiled at Zhou Yan, "Do you have anything to drink?"
Zhou Yan reached out and took out a bottle of Happy Fat Home Water from the refrigerator and handed it over.
Xu Wenqiang took it, unscrewed the lid, took a deep gulp, and after burping, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "A while ago, I was sent to the SWAT Academy for training by the team, and my cell phone was confiscated."
"Seven two two?"
Xu Wenqiang stared at Zhou Yan in surprise for a long time as if he had seen a ghost. But when he remembered that this guy seemed to be someone related to the security system, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I was shocked."
Zhou Yan glanced at the Mid-Autumn Festival gift box on the table, then looked at Xu Wenqiang: "Brother Qiang, you'd better take this mooncake home!"
Before Xu Wenqiang could refute, Zhou Yan suddenly stood up, turned around and entered the kitchen, then brought out a large plate of mooncakes and placed them on the coffee table.
"Here, try it?"
"Did you make it yourself?" Xu Wenqiang looked incredulous, "You never said before that you could make mooncakes?"
"You didn't even ask!"
"Then..." Xu Wenqiang stood up, ran to the kitchen, and walked around. When he came back, he kept looking at Zhou Yan, "Don't tell me, you can also cook?"
"I just worked as a chef for a month during my summer vacation!"
"You kid, you can do it!"
Xu Wenqiang reached out and patted Zhou Yan's shoulder heavily, ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, carefully picked up a small mooncake with chestnuts printed on it from the tray, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well..." Xu Wenqiang nodded with satisfaction. After swallowing, he gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up, "Not bad, quite good!"
"Another piece?"
"No need," Xu Wenqiang shook his head and glanced back at the gift box on the table, "Brother, let's do this. I'll keep the gift box, and you can put some of the mooncakes you made, and I'll take them home to my parents.
Taste it!”
"all right!"
Both parties are very happy.
After a while, the last batch of mooncakes was baked. After cooling, Zhou Yan bagged the mooncakes and carried them to the dormitory...
A week or two ago, there were only two laptops in the dormitory, but now there are four laptops set up. In addition to Lin Junfeng, Zuo Jiyun, Yan Wentao and the newly joined Yang Haisheng are all sitting on the bed, staring at
Notebook on small folding table.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the brothers have become rich!"
"You kid..." The three people sitting on the bed stretched their heads and looked at Zhou Yan, "Why do you think of going back and forth to the dormitory to visit? Haven't we already made an appointment for the evening?"
Zhou Yan raised a large bag of mooncakes in his hand: "There is a handmade mooncake maker in the community. I thought they tasted pretty good, so I bought some..."
"Classmate Zhou Yan still has a conscience. Even after moving out, he didn't forget his classmates..."
A group of hungry wolves who had not eaten sweets for a long time picked up the mooncakes and had a great meal. Watching the eating scene was like seeing the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
Not long after, Zhao Ruijie, who heard the news, also rushed over...
After playing in the dormitory until about four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people called some classmates with whom they had good relationships at work and went out together and rushed to a restaurant near the military hospital.
After booking the room, organizer Zuo Jiyun called the three boys to leave the room. A few minutes later, four people came back carrying two baskets of nearly a hundred bottles of beer.
"It's a festival today, we won't go home until we get drunk!"
A hundred thousand hands rushed past Zhou Yan's head: Being drunk with beer is much more uncomfortable than being drunk with white wine.
One bottle of primer, then "circling".
After three to five bottles of beer, a group of older boys began to think about the future. Zhou Yan only listened and never expressed his opinion...
After working for more than two hours, the plates on the table have been cleared away, and there are still more than 20 bottles of beer that have not been finished.
"Refunded! I'll give you two cents for returning the bottle of beer!"
After returning the bottles, a group of people staggered and supported each other, leaving a long string of back figures under the dim street lights...
When I returned to my residence, I called my dumpling-eating father and mother a second time to say hello, and then harassed Qin Ruoshu again.
"Daughter-in-law, I miss you!"
As soon as Qin Ruoshu heard Zhou Yan's vague voice, she knew that this guy must be having dinner with his classmates.
"Husband, classmate, how much did you drink?"
"Ten bottles! I drank the most." Zhou Yan chuckled, "They are jealous. They are jealous that I have a girlfriend and a daughter-in-law. For you, I drank several more bottles..."
"You..." Qin Ruoshu complained happily, and then listened to Zhou Yan's heartfelt confession to him...
