Third Brother raised his glass. "I admit that he's my brother-in-law. Little Sister, bring him back for a meal when you're free. Just treat it as we're acknowledging his identity."
Wen Hongyu poured tea for her brothers with exasperation. "Got it. It's better late than never."
Even if Yue Huaide did not make a lot of money, he was still her lover. Even though life was tough, it was sweet for a family to tough it out together.
Yue Yan was fiddling with seasonings at home. She would work part-time in the food and beverage industry as a dishwasher and vegetable cutter during the winter and summer holidays of high school. She had heard a lot of recipes under the influence.
She decided to make
Initially, she wanted to make cold pot skewers. They could be kept longer and were refreshing in summer.
However, the cold pot skewers did not have any fragrance, which meant that they had to keep shouting to attract the customers.
However, Malatang was different. Its smell was simply fragrant.
There was also the production of starch powder or
The hawthorn slices were not expensive, but the raisins and brown sugar were not cheap. Yue Yan gritted her teeth and bought 50 grams.
Then, she thought of something else. Taro balls.
The brown sugar bingfen and Taro ball were good summer products.
Yue Yan decided to make bingfen first. The fragrance of Malatang was too exaggerated. If possible, she should move into the new house as soon as possible.
The new house was close to the government buildings, and the surrounding area was filled with cadres' courtyards. The police station was nearby, and security was tight.
Yue Yan was making Taro balls when Zhou Boyan came to look for her.
"When is Yueyue going to move over after signing the contract?"
Yue Yan wiped the flour off her face. "I hope it's as soon as possible. Let's see what my mother decides. We haven't discussed the rent yet."
Zhou Boyan nodded. "I might need to move as soon as possible. Our house's rental is about to expire, and my grandfather hasn't been in good health recently."
Yue Yan winked at him. "It's alright. If our timing is different, we can help each other move!"
Zhou Boyan looked at the dough in her hand. "What are you doing?"
"It's delicious. I'll invite you to try it first after I make it!"
The two of them chatted for a while more before Zhou Boyan left.
Yue Yan felt that Brother Xiaofei's family was really strange. His parents should be doing business. Grandma was at home taking care of Brother Xiaofei, while Grandpa was at work and living in the dormitory.
This family was strange.
However, Brother Xiaofei was not a bad person, and he was not a character from the main plot. Yue Yan believed him.
That night, Yue Huaide was in a low mood when Wen Hongyu did not return. However, his wife would stay for a night every time she returned to her maiden home, so he did not let his imagination run wild.
Yue Huaide brought the two children to sign the contract. He had a large sum of money with him and was very nervous.
On the other hand, Zhou Boyan was much calmer. He was wearing a white shirt and knee-length black shorts. His hands were in his pockets, looking extremely carefree.
The house seller finally saw them. The little puppy circled around Yue Yan's feet.
The uncle selling the house chuckled. "This dog loves you."
Yue Huaide was illiterate. Zhou Boyan was worried about the contract that Yue Yan was looking at, so he helped her take a look.
"There's no problem with the contract. You can sign it."
The moment she signed her name, Yue Yan had a feeling that she was finally connected to this world.
Zhou Boyan had the same feeling too.
After signing the contract, this big house with a 400 square meters courtyard belonged to her completely.
It sounded large, but in fact, more than half of the courtyard was occupied. The two-story house with an attic added up to 180 square meters.
The house had a solid wooden floor and white paint on the walls. The first floor had three bedrooms, a living room, and two bathrooms. There was a cellar for storing vegetables. The kitchen was huge, and there was a woodshed in the courtyard. There was a tap and a toilet in the room, and a pressure well in the courtyard.
There were two bedrooms and a study on the second floor. The bedroom had a balcony, which faced the courtyard. She could see Zhou Boyan's courtyard opposite. Yue Yan chose the master bedroom on the second floor as her room.
She could use the study to do her homework. The bookshelves were empty, and the desk and chair were ready-made.
The furniture had just been bought and the quality was acceptable.
Yue Yan came to the courtyard. Her father was sending the man who sold the house away. The little puppies could not bear to leave, and the man stood there in a dilemma.
"Does your family like dogs? My dog gave birth to them. I can give them to you."
Their entire family had moved to another city. If nothing went wrong, they would not return in the future.
Yue Yan liked dogs.
"Okay, I want this one." The puppies were two brothers who looked exactly the same.
"I'll ask Brother Xiaofei if he wants one." It was enough for her family to have one.
Zhou Boyan was changing the door lock.
Yue Yan said in surprise, "You're so fast. You changed the lock just like that!"
Zhou Boyan didn't even look up. "If nothing goes wrong, we'll be staying here tomorrow night."
Yue Yan felt a moment of disappointment. Although she was going to be neighbors with Brother Xiaofei again, she was not used to being separated from him for a few days.
"That's right, Brother Xiaofei, do you want a puppy? Uncle gave me puppies. I can't raise two."
Zhou Boyan thought for a moment. "Yes, I'll let my Grandma have something to do."
The two puppies were still circling around, not knowing that the two brothers would look at each other from opposite houses from now on.
Yue Yan pointed at the second floor of the house. "My room is on the second floor. The balcony is facing your courtyard."
After changing the lock, Zhou Boyan stood up and looked in the direction Yue Yan was pointing. "It's in the middle of the courtyard. Thieves shouldn't be able to sneak in."
Brother Xiaofei's answer was so straight.
"Is your house changing locks? I bought two."
Yue Yan clapped her hands. "Alright, change the locks to guard against gentlemen. Let's buy a few more later. I'll buy you the locks for the living room."
Zhou Boyan nodded.
