Uncle Zhang was relieved when he saw Zachary agreed. After all, Zachary hadn't been home for many years, and no one knew what his personality was like.
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, he finally let go of his worries. Then he pulled Zachary and said, "Zachary, they haven't eaten yet, but they said they can cook, so they will come to your house to eat tonight. You can tell the village what they ate and the village will compensate you!"
Zachary smiled and declined, saying, "I am also from the village, and my household registration is still in the village. These people came to the village to teach, and it is normal for me to treat them to a meal as a thank you. One meal won't break the bank!"
Uncle Zhang laughed a few times. They were from the same village, so he was too lazy to argue about a meal. He thought for a while and said, "How about this, there is still a lot of tea oil in the village. I see that you buy oil to eat. I will bring you a bucket of oil later. We are not talking about green food now. The oil we squeeze ourselves is absolutely green."
At this time, Zachary saw that the group of students had already entered the yard. While he was about to receive them, he did not refuse and said, "Well, okay, I just happened to be out of oil, so thank you, Uncle Zhang, and you can come here for dinner later."
At this time, the sun was setting, and the mountains and forests in the distance were red under the setting sun. Zachary's house was at the wind's outlet, and the night wind was very strong. A boy casually said, "This scene is most suitable for a barbecue."
Zachary's heart moved, and he called the boys to go into the utility room next to him. Two boys saw the barbecue grill in the utility rack. One of them whistled happily and said, "Dude, you really know how to enjoy life. Are you here for vacation? This barbecue grill is brand new and has not been used yet."
Zachary smiled slightly. This barbecue grill was brought by Penny when it was repaired. He said that he would come here to barbecue when he had time in the future. Zachary didn't remember it very much at first, but when he heard the boy mention it, he thought of it!
As for the food for barbecue? There was no shortage of food. Zachary was busy studying jade tablets and spiritual energy during this period. Every time he bought a lot of food, the refrigerator and freezer were filled.
The students who came to teach were all excited and screamed, but Zachary didn't drink, and there was no alcohol at home, which made the boys a little regretful.
Zachary turned on all the lights in the yard, and then a large group of people fetched water and started to prepare various ingredients.
The water was tap water. The village built a large water tower in the spring water pool halfway up the mountain. Every household had access to tap water. Of course, the bulk of the expenses were paid by the city's finances. There are still many good policies in rural areas now.
Zachary thought about it and remembered that there were some small bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest behind. Although there were not many bamboo shoots in summer, there were still some. He ran over with a flashlight, dug a few out, washed a few and threw them in the barbecue grill to see how they tasted.
At this time, Uncle Zhang also came over with a bucket of oil and a basket of vegetables. Seeing that everyone was preparing for a barbecue, he smiled and said, "It seems that I came at the right time."
Zachary thought about it, rode his electric bike to the village store, and brought a few cases of beer. Seeing the beer that Zachary brought over, several male students who were teaching came over and said that the big brother was really generous, and their hostility towards Zachary faded a little.
Uh, why were they hostile to Zachary? The temperament of Zachary now was very attractive to girls, especially female college students who were still studying. At this time, several girls asked him for his WeChat. There were a total of twelve people this time. The five boys who came had other purposes. Seeing that Zachary was so popular with girls, it would be strange if they didn't have hostility.
Well, the most popular person in Zachary's house was not Zachary, but the two little furry dogs, the little black dog and the little yellow dog. Girls were born to like furry things, and boys didn't hate them either. After just a while, the two little furry dogs had been petted to the point of suspecting that they were pregnant. At this moment, the two dogs were sitting stupidly beside a pillar, with their heads shaking from time to time. When they saw Zachary coming home from buying wine, they ran towards him with a whimper.
In fact, Zachary also thinks that the current female college students were too enthusiastic. If it weren't for the two little furry dogs to help him divert the girls' attention, he would have been ready to hide in the house and never come out.
Zachary thought about it and felt that he might not be full from the barbecue, so he specially soaked a large bundle of the local unique noodles and prepared to fry a few pots of noodles later.
The atmosphere of the barbecue was still very good. Listening to the songs played outside, drinking cold beer, and eating all kinds of cooked and half-cooked barbecue, Zachary felt that he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
Halfway through, a girl suddenly said, "Do you smell a special fragrance? I just smelled it when I entered the yard, and it smells better and better."
Everyone said they smelled it, and that the fragrance was really good. Zachary also sniffed it deliberately, but he didn't feel it very much because he was often in the yard.
Several curious girls walked around the yard, and finally pointed to the tree that was at least three feet in circumference and said, "It should be the fragrance of the flowers of that tree. What kind of tree is that? Why are the flowers so fragrant? It smells better than osmanthus."
Zachary was stunned when he looked at the tree the girl pointed at, and said, "Are you mistaken? That's a Chinese date tree, and the flowers are not fragrant."
Several girls said if you don't believe it, come and smell it. Zachary got up and walked over. When he walked under the tree, Zachary had already smelled the fragrance of the flowers of the tree. He had been smelling this fragrance for some time, but he had never paid attention to it before.
Looking at this Chinese date tree with a particularly fragrant flower, Zachary's heart began to beat. The flower of the Chinese date tree could not be so fragrant, but this tree was so fragrant. What did it mean? It meant that this tree was likely transformed by spiritual energy.
Thinking of this, Zachary began to observe the tree carefully with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, he found a clue. This Chinese date tree was actually absorbing spiritual energy!!
Zachary was surprised and happy to find this result. He was surprised that this tree could actually absorb spiritual energy, and he was happy that besides himself, there were indeed animals or plants that could absorb spiritual energy. But why did it happen to be this tree? However, they were having a barbecue at the moment, and Zachary thought that he should put this matter aside first and think about it carefully in the evening.
The barbecue lasted until very late. After eating, Zachary ran to the kitchen and fried a large pot of noodles and brought it out. Everyone present cheered. Several girls deliberately asked him what a considerate handsome guy he was. Did he have a girlfriend? Did he need help to introduce him to someone? Zachary just smiled foolishly and did not respond.
