Comprehensive film: the sweet daily life of urban drama

I looked at the time and it was getting late. The chicken was almost ready to be cooked, so I took out my phone and called Damai.

At Aunt Baoping's house, Da Mai and Xu Hongdou were carrying a small cloth bag each. They were about to say goodbye and leave when Aunt Baoping hurried out: "Hongdou, please help me deliver this to A Yao on the way. His grandmother likes to eat this."

Xu Hongdou quickly took it and said, "No problem, I will definitely deliver it."

Da Mai hesitated for a moment, but still asked tentatively, "Aunt Baoping, can you give me those milk fans I made when they are ready?"

"No problem. After it's dried, I'll pack it up and take it back for my family to try."

"Thank you Aunt Aquarius..."

Xu Hongdou knew that Damai was not good at speaking, so she took the initiative to speak, "Aunt Baoping, thank you so much, we are eating and taking, and we can't help at all..."

"Oh, I'm glad you guys came."

Xu Hongdou nodded and said goodbye, "Then we will go back first..."

"Okay, be careful with the steps..."

"Goodbye Aunt Aquarius..."

As soon as the two of them left the yard, Da Mai's phone rang. He picked it up and took a look. "It's Brother Xiao Wu."

"Hey, what's wrong, Brother Five?"

"I heard that you guys went out to play with Aunt Agui. It's getting dark now. Do you want me to pick you up?"

Da Mai felt warm inside, but he quickly refused, "No, no, let's go back now, we'll be there soon..."

"Well...."

Da Mai put away his phone and said, "Brother Xiaowu is worried that it's not safe for us to go back."

Xu Hongdou nodded, thinking that this guy was well-informed. "Da Mai, let's send the flower cakes over. It should be open yet..."

"Okay..." Da Mai thought, there are two small bags in total, one can give one to his parents, and the rest can be taken back to let Xiaowu and Nana try.

When they arrived at the express delivery point, Xu Hongdou sent the three small packages to her parents, sister, and Nan Nan respectively. She still had a small bag left for herself. She couldn't help but feel grateful that Aunt Agui was enthusiastic enough, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to go around.

Looking at the wilted barley at the entrance of the alley, Xu Hongdou thought for a moment and said, "You go back first. I'll take the things over..."

"Then I'd better accompany you. It's not safe after dark..."

Xu Hongdou felt warm in her heart. This Barley was indeed suitable to be friends. She waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, no, it's only a few dozen meters away. Don't worry, it's okay..."

"Okay then..." Da Mai walked into the yard and was thinking about whether he should go straight back to the bedroom, wrap himself in a quilt and have a good sleep, when he was attracted by the rich fragrance in the yard. When he walked to the kitchen door, he saw Master Ma and Brother Xiaowu sitting at the dining table and chatting.

"Brother Xiaowu, Master Ma, are you guys going to have dinner?"

Ma Ye chatted with Chen An and felt that they were getting along well. He was in a very good mood and couldn't help but joked, "Hey, Da Mai looks exhausted. I'm starving. I'm just waiting for you and Hong Dou to come back for dinner."

"Yes, go wash your hands and have an meal. You can enjoy a delicious meal today." Chen An also hurriedly greeted them.

“Okay, okay…” Da Mai swallowed his saliva. Although he had eaten the flower cake, the chicken tasted so delicious, didn’t it?

Ma Ye then realized that only Da Mai was there, and asked curiously, "You two went out, why are you the only one back? Is Hongdou missing?"

"No, no, she went to Mr. Xie's house next door to help deliver something, and she will be back soon..."

Chen An was not surprised by this. He had already gotten used to the power of plot inertia. He just didn't know if anything else would happen.

Three people sat around the dining table in the restaurant, eating the Northeastern version of chicken stewed with mushrooms. At first, Chen An wanted to make braised chicken, but with mushrooms, it naturally had a Northeastern flavor.

Ma Ye used a spoon to scoop some chicken soup with rice, took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, "Authentic, this Northeastern cuisine is really delicious..."

Barley chewed quickly. The chicken was so delicious, soft, tender and absolutely delicious. "Brother Xiaowu, this is so delicious. Can you teach me when you have a chance?"

"No problem, this is actually not difficult to make, but the heat is the key..."

Ma Qiushan raised his beer and said with a smile, "Let's toast to the chef..."

Da Mai also quickly picked up the water cup and followed suit.

The beer is cool and the chicken is delicious. It is really a treat.

Although Da Mai wanted to eat more, he was a little sleepy, so he only ate a few pieces of chicken, a little mushroom, and half a bowl of rice. "Brother Xiaowu, Master Ma, you guys take your time eating. I'll go upstairs first. By the way, you can just eat the flower cake directly. It's very delicious. You can try it later..."

"Go..." Chen An looked at the time. It had been 20 minutes. He guessed that Xu Hongdou was stuck in Xie Zhiyao's house just like in the original drama. He picked up the beer and said, "Come on, Master Ma, let's go. I'll go see what's wrong with Hongdou. She hasn't come back in such a long time."

"Yeah, go and see if anything happens..."

When Chen An arrived at Xie Zhiyao's door, he saw Xie Zhiyuan holding wine and food in the yard, walking towards the restaurant. He paused, hesitated for a moment, and did not enter the yard...

Xu Hongdou couldn't help laughing while eating. She didn't expect that giving a gift would bring her an unexpected gain. It turned out that Xie Zhiyuan refused to go to school because he had peed in his pants.

"How about trying it?" Xie Zhiyao poured a glass for Xu Hongdou and gestured.

Xu Hongdou picked up the cup and smelled it. It smelled very good. She took a sip and praised, "This cherry wine is good. It tastes sour and delicious..."

Xie Zhiyao reminded, "This wild cherry is too sour. It can only be used to make wine. However, the alcohol content is very high. Don't take it lightly and drink too much."

Xu Hongdou nodded, but didn't take it too seriously. She could still drink quite a bit.

Chen An leaned against the wall and played two games before he heard a voice coming from the yard: "Xu Hongdou, you promised me that you must keep it a secret."

"Don't worry, don't worry..." Xu Hongdou assured again helplessly.

Xie Zhiyao explained helplessly, "He's just a naughty kid, don't take it too seriously."

"It's okay. I can actually understand and sympathize with him..."

"Do you sympathize with him? Or sympathize with me. I am almost tortured to death by him..."

"It's true that children aged 16 or 17 have the strongest self-esteem. In class..." As soon as he said this, he was stunned: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen An spread his hands and said, "There is a missing person in the courtyard. I came to see if he got lost. I happened to see you guys were having dinner, so I didn't disturb you..."

"Well, well, Brother Chen Xu Hongdou, since you're here, I won't see you off."

"Okay, you should go back early." Xu Hongdou waved goodbye.

Chen An didn't say anything, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and walked towards the courtyard. Xu Hongdou looked at Chen An's back and couldn't help but feel a little angry. What does this mean? I didn't ask you to come pick me up. I'm such a grown-up, how could I get lost? You didn't say a word. Are you so petty?

Chen An had no idea that Xu Hongdou had so many thoughts. The main reason was that he didn't know what to say. He couldn't just ask Xu Hongdou why she was having dinner at someone else's house. Was this appropriate? Or was it about what he had just talked about with Xie Zhiyao? Wasn't that inappropriate? So he just kept silent.

When Xu Hongdou walked into the courtyard and smelled the fragrance in the air, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the braised chicken was so fragrant that it could be smelled throughout the courtyard?

Master Ma was drinking tea at a small table in the yard. Seeing the two of them, he smiled and said, "You're back, Hongdou. Come eat quickly. We'll have a drink together later..."

"No, Master Ma, I've already eaten. I'm going back to my room to rest first." Xu Hongdou waved her hand and went upstairs directly.

Ma Qiushan was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen An and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Chen An waved his hand and sat down casually, "It's okay, let's continue chatting..."
