Although they were not arrogant, at least they had a strong sense of self. They had never been bullied anywhere and were never willing to be wronged.
Jiang Xingyuan turned on the electric fan and blew it at Li Lan, "Is it cooler?"
Li Lan took off his shirt and bared his upper body. "Turn it off. The rumbling is annoying."
He moved a small stool to sit at the door and waved at Shiba Inu, "Dumbass, come here and see if you still know him."
Shiba Inu turned his head away proudly and ignored him.
Jiang Xingyuan clapped his hands and Shiba jumped onto Jiang Xingyuan's lap.
Jiang Xingyuan laughed and said happily, "Look, I didn't raise it for nothing. It knows who it's close to. Do you mind if I call a few more friends to share a table with us tonight? "
Li Lan said, "It doesn't matter. The more the merrier."
Jiang Xingyuan took out his phone and made three consecutive calls. Then he stood up and said to Li Lan, "I'm going to buy something. Watch the door for me."
Li Lan put his coat on his shoulder and tightened his belt, "I'll go with you. It's boring to be alone here."
The two walked and turned a few corners. It turned out to be a small street.
Jiang Yuanhua squeezed into a vegetable shop. Li Lan saw cooked food on the side of the road, so he went over and bought some pig head meat and salted duck.
On the way back, there were more than two people. The owner of a small shop followed behind them on an electric scooter. There were four boxes of beer piled up on the pedal, reaching up to his forehead. He rode carefully.
When they arrived at the door, Li Lan helped him unload two boxes of beer. Then he stopped the scooter and unloaded the other two boxes.
Jiang Xingyuan went into the small kitchen at the door and was busy with his bare arms. He was a big and rough man, but when he did things, he was much more meticulous than a girl.
He said to Li Lan, who was leaning against the door, "Tonight, I'll make a whole fried pig's stomach and intestines. It's absolutely authentic. If it's not delicious, I won't charge you."
Li Lan said, "If it's delicious, I'll give you a few yuan."
He chatted with him for a while and then continued to play with his phone on the small stool.
A black Cayenne turned in from the side road. When it was about to reach the door, it honked loudly. Jiang Xingyuan came out of the kitchen and greeted with greasy hands.
Two people got out of the car, a man and a woman. The man was tall, wearing floral shorts, pea shoes, and a white singlet. The woman was wearing blue denim shorts and a shirt that exposed her navel, revealing her fair waist and slender legs.
Li Lan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Jiang Xingyuan introduced them to each other. "This brother is Liu Linpo. His family is in the coking business. This sister is Wang Ou. Her family owns a gas station."
Then, he pointed at Li Lan. "My classmate from university. His family runs a junkyard, but he's pretty good himself. You can search for him on the internet. He's a national champion in China! He has won many championships. "
When Wang Ou saw that Li Lan was about to put on his shirt, she waved her hand casually and said, "Don't, I'm not afraid with my upper body bare. It'll be fine. I didn't expect you to be so skinny, but you do have some substance. Your muscles are pretty good."
Being teased in return, Li Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He threw his shirt onto the sofa in the house and smiled. "Then you guys can sit in the house. There's a fan."
Liu Linpo said, "He can't even bear to install an air conditioner. He's really stingy."
Jiang Xingyuan said, "I want to install one, but the wiring here is not good. It trips at every turn. If I want to install an air conditioner, I'll have to change all the wiring. It'll be troublesome."
Wang Ou said, "Who told you to rent such a crappy house?"
"Ask Wang Kun and the others when they're coming. They haven't been here before, so you guys have to go out and fetch them." With that, Jiang Xingyuan went back to the kitchen.
"We'll talk about it later. I just asked on Penguin. They haven't even left the house yet." Liu Linpo washed a cucumber and took a bite. As he ate, he said, "There's Jinkela at home. What a sumptuous meal."
Jiang Xingyuan said, "Eat it or leave it."
His phone rang. He didn't have time to answer it. He said to Liu Linpo, "Pick it up and see if it's Wang Kun and the others."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ou's voice came from the living room. She had already picked up his call.
"I think it's them. I'll go pick them up." Liu Linpo started the car, turned around, and drove away.
Ten minutes later, the car reappeared at the intersection. There was a sports car following behind it, and two people alighted from the car. This time, Wang Ou was the one who introduced them. She pointed at a chubby bespectacled boy and said, "Wang Kun, his family runs a pharmaceutical factory."
She then pointed to a short, dark-skinned boy and said, "Du Shixin. His family really runs a mine."
"I'm Li Lan. Student Jiang Xingyuan." Li Lan threw a cigarette at them.
Du Shixin sniffed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "It'd be a pity if this guy didn't become a chef."
Without anyone's help, Jiang Xingyuan prepared four dishes by himself. Including Li Lan's cooked food, there were actually six dishes.
The sun had already set, leaving only the last bit of light.
They moved a table out of the house and placed it in the middle of the yard. They each found a plastic bench and started drinking around the table.
Liu Linpo sat beside Li Lan and patted him on the shoulder. "Bro, you'll get used to it. Don't stand on ceremony. Cheers."
"Cheers to you." Li Lan raised his glass and clinked it with him.
Wang Kun took out a white bun from a plastic bag and asked Jiang Xingyuan as he ate, "What have you been up to recently? I can't find you?"
Jiang Xingyuan said, "I bring a box of chewing gum every day and sell it everywhere. Brothers, help me think of something or I'm really done for. I can see that if we split up in the future, this Chewing Gum factory will definitely fall under my name. I haven't even done anything yet and I'm already in debt. "
Wang Kun said, "If it's xylitol, I can still find some connections in the pharmaceutical factory to help you digest it. As for chewing gum, even if I eat it like rice, I can't finish it."
Jiang Xingyuan looked at Du Shixin. Du Shixin finished his glass and spread his hands. "I only have an aunt who runs a supermarket. Didn't she help you deliver some goods the last time?
You have to find a chain supermarket. "
Jiang Xingyuan sighed.
Li Lan smiled and clinked his glass with Wang Kun on his right. "You guys are pretty good to be able to gather in such a faraway place."
Wang Kun pointed at Wang Ou and Liu Linpo and said, "Seeing that the two of them are here, Du Shixin and I came too. Since we've never been here before, we might as well come and have some fun."
Li Lan said, "If you want to play, go to Quan City. This place is too far."
Du Shixin pouted. "It's so unsophisticated. What's so fun about it?"
The others also nodded in agreement.
