Of course, everyone didn't dare to take out the little gift they were carrying right now, for fear of scaring Shi Li.
While Duan Yaojing was setting up the table to prepare the hot pot, someone had already put the small gifts brought by Shi Li into the corner outside the balcony and covered them up to hide the camera.
The living room can barely accommodate the next class of students.
"You guys do your homework first. I'll order the drinks and they'll be brought to you shortly."
As the red pot was powered on, the spicy and fragrant smell gradually emerged in the room.
Everyone came here to eat melon and join in the fun, but no one took Duan Yaojing's hot pot seriously. He didn't come here just to eat melon and rice.
I wasn’t looking forward too much to tonight’s meal.
Whether the hot pot is good depends on whether the soup base is right or not, and the freshness of the ingredients.
The importance of the soup base even ranks before the ingredients.
As soon as the aroma comes out from the bottom of the pot, everyone knows that today's meal is really the right one.
It’s worth it just for this hot pot meal.
Just smelling the fragrant smell in the living room stimulates people to secrete saliva.
"It smells so good."
A classmate expressed what everyone was feeling at this moment.
"Don't wait for the milk tea, don't do your homework. With this smell, I have no intention of doing my homework."
Duan Yaojing said uncertainly, "Then let's eat first?"
She was waiting for her words. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone rushed to the dining table like a hungry tiger rushing for food.
Everyone has a good relationship, and no one wants to sit with their best friends or good brothers at this time. Everyone is a good best friend.
Based on the principle of proximity, everyone sits near the ingredients they like to eat.
Shi Li chose the potato next to his favorite.
Gu Yuqing had already sat down, but when she saw that there were still two empty seats next to Shi Li, she stood up and wanted to change seats to eat next to Shi Li.
However, Xue Xuejia had already taken the lead and sat on Shi Li's left side. It didn't matter that there was still a seat on Shi Li's right side. Gu Yuqing comforted herself like this.
Just when she was about to go over, the seat on Shi Li's right was no longer available.
Sun Yiling was one step ahead of her and pushed Fu Huixing to that seat.
Sun Yiling, female, is the biggest CP fan of Shi Li and Fu Huixing.
Xue Xuejia, this sycophant!
Sun Yiling doesn't mind watching the excitement!
Fu Huixing originally planned to wait until everyone was seated before finding an empty seat to sit down.
As a result, under the influence of a magical external force, he sat down first. Since he had already sat down, it was difficult to get up again.
Sun Yiling achieved her goal, smiling like a little mouse who had stolen oil, and sat opposite Shi Li.
After Sun Yiling took a seat, she solemnly picked up her phone and turned on the camera function as if nothing had happened.
It’s a common problem among urbanites to eat on their mobile phones before eating.
Her camera seemed to be filming hot pot, but it was actually filming her fans.
And everything, Gu Yuqing, who coveted the position, had a panoramic view.
Although Fu Huixing took the position she wanted due to the influence of external forces, Gu Yuqing felt that he was very unpleasant.
Shi Li didn't know all this, all her attention was on the red pot in front of her.
It's really fragrant and delicious.
Everyone was busy cooking, and the only sounds in the room were the gurgling of pots and the chattering of people who were not too loud.
The relatively quiet atmosphere in the house was suddenly interrupted by the noise outside the building.
The sound insulation of the old building is poor, and the noisy voices of men and women in the corridors can be heard indistinctly.
Duan Yaojing's face looked a little embarrassed. She explained, "It's our neighbor's housework. It's very noisy, right? I connected the Bluetooth speaker and we put on some music and we couldn't hear it anymore."
She stood up and prepared to go back to the bedroom to get the Bluetooth speaker.
It was obvious that she was used to this happening from time to time.
Duan Yaojing took out a Bluetooth speaker from her bedroom, and the sound of successful pairing soon came out.
Just as she was about to play the music, the person closest to her quickly held her down.
"Don't worry, it's all just noises, there's no difference between them. Please tell us first what's the reason for the quarrel outside."
Duan Yaojing: In my opinion, the distinction between high and low is false, but your gossip is true.
Everyone has different attitudes towards different sounds. If it is decoration sound, it is collectively called noise. For example, although the sounds outside could not be heard very clearly, everyone could guess from what was vaguely heard that a fierce quarrel broke out outside.
Facing a pair of small eyes full of curiosity, Duan Yaojing did not immediately explain the reason for the quarrel.
Instead, he lay down and looked through the peephole for about half a minute before returning to his position to explain to everyone.
"It was the children of Mrs. Sun's ex-wife next door who came to the door."
Everyone: This relationship is really complicated.
"What I know is not necessarily true. I heard it from my grandma."
"This Aunt Sun was originally a nanny at the old man's house, taking care of the old man and his wife who couldn't take care of herself. After the old man's wife passed away, Aunt Sun became close to the old man."
"The two of them are together. Although they didn't get a certificate, Aunt Sun spent a lot of money on the old man."
"Not long after, the old man became paralyzed. Aunt Sun was unwilling to take care of the paralyzed man, so she left the old man behind and went home."
Facing the wide-eyed eyes of his classmates, Duan Yaojing smiled and said, "She didn't get the certificate from the old man. There is no legal obligation to support her."
"But the old man's children were not happy. All their parents' money was spent on other women. As a result, when the father became paralyzed, the children had to take care of him."
"The daughters are unbalanced and often come to Aunt Sun's house to make trouble."
"I heard the girl said that she would either pay back the money she defrauded the old man, or she would take care of the old man."
This group of young people, all of whom had never seen the world, were so shocked by this kind of thing that they could not recover for a long time.
Duan Yaojing lives with her grandparents in an old-fashioned Tongzi building. There are some normal people here, but there are more weird ones.
Weird things would happen from time to time, and she was used to it.
Finally, she concluded her speech by saying, "It's just the quarrel between the parents and the quarrel. Whose song do you want to listen to? I'll play it."
However, Duan Yaojing’s classmates said that they didn’t want to listen to anyone’s songs, but just wanted to hear Aunt Sun sing.
Shi Li was quite close to the security door. She tiptoed to the door, and then opened the door gently with the slowest movements in her life.
The security door was opened a crack, and the sound spread more clearly to the room behind the door and to everyone's ears.
When Shi Li sat back on the table, he received everyone's gazes, which contained respect and gratitude, as if what Shi Li just opened was not an ordinary door, but the door to everyone's life.
Duan Yaojing closed her eyes and wondered what was going on with her classmates.
Okay, I've known for a long time that everyone has this kind of behavior.
What is she expecting?
