Good news! My sister Lin finally stopped being abstract today!

During the meal, Shi Xingchen seemed preoccupied and moved slowly.

Seeing his expression, He Manman looked at Lin Zhihao and asked with her eyes why.

Lin Zhihao shook her head.

The four of them ate their fill, and everything on the table was eaten clean.

"Hiccup~"

Satisfied, Lin Zhihao burped, got up, and brought out two more plates of ribs and vegetables from the kitchen, placing them in front of Shi Xingchen.

Shi Xingchen looked at the plate, then suddenly looked up at Lin Zhihao.

"Send it over."

Shi Xingchen's eyes lit up, "Mmm!"

After Shi Xingchen left, only three people remained at the dinner table.

"Brother Lou, who did Teacher Shi give it to? She looks so happy." He Manman asked, covering her mouth with a tissue.

"Sister Xianxian and Sister Shuyue, it's not convenient for them to eat, so Xingchen was worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat, so he thought of sending some over."

After hearing Lin Zhihao's explanation, He Manman was puzzled, "Why not just have them come and eat with us?"

Lin Zhihao finished her water and looked up. "Because this is everyone's contribution, we must ensure we have enough before we can generously give some away. If we don't even have enough for ourselves, yet we're thinking of giving more, then that's..."

Lin Zhihao raised an eyebrow.

He Manman understood what she meant and nodded, "Yes."

"No wonder he seemed so preoccupied while he was eating."

After cleaning up the mess, the three of them decided to go to the thatched house to call the two girls to go out for a walk to digest their food.

When Lin Zhihao and the other two arrived, Wu Xianxian and Hua Shuyue were already eating the meal that Shi Xingchen had brought over.

Shi Xingchen sat at the dining table with a happy expression, occasionally chatting with them.

"Susu, you're here."

Wu Xianxian was the first to spot the three figures and grinned from ear to ear.

Lin Zhihao and the other two nodded slightly in response.

"Thank you so much! Waaah, if it weren't for you, my sister Shuyue and I would probably be starving today."

Wu Xianxian expressed her gratitude.

"Especially Xingchen. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to send it over."

Shi Xingchen shyly touched the back of her head, "Hehe, this is not my achievement, it was everyone's suggestion, I just ran errands."

"Haha, thank you anyway."

Wu Xianxian quickly finished the meal, which she had already eaten quite a bit of.

Looking at the empty plate in front of her, she shrank back shyly, "It was so delicious, I couldn't help but finish it all. But luckily I digest quickly, hahaha, finishing it all won't make me fat. But Sister Shuyue, you..."

Seeing that Hua Shuyue's plate was also empty, Wu Xianxian asked with concern, "I remember your manager wouldn't let you eat... saying you're prone to weight gain?"

"But it shouldn't matter, Sister Shuyue, you can just walk around a couple more times later, hahaha."

He Manman felt something was very wrong when she heard this, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She glanced at Lin Zhihao beside her and saw that she had no expression. He Manman thought to herself, "Is she overthinking this?"

With the addition of Wu Xianxian and the other two, the "Digestion Team" became a group of six.

“It seems we haven’t visited each other yet. Why don’t we go find Anya and Teacher Xinyao?” He Manman suggested.

The other five all agreed.

Before going there, I passed by the vegetable house. Just like its name, the yard was full of vegetables, but they were still in the germination stage. Two strings of chili peppers were hanging on the door.

"Gu Gou... Teacher." Shi Xingchen quickly swallowed the word "Gu Gou" from her throat and called her "Teacher" instead.

Lin Zhihao, who was closest to him, glanced at him sideways and wondered why she had overheard someone talking about their dog.

Gu Xiuzhe had just finished cleaning up the dishes in the room when he heard someone calling him, so he immediately came out.

"Hey, Teacher Shi~" Gu Xiuzhe recognized the voice and couldn't help but tease him as soon as he stepped out, drawing out the last syllable.

Shi Xingchen was speechless.

"This place has such a rural, rural feel to it, it's like a real-life version of playing house, hahaha. Seeing that string of big chili peppers reminds me of the days I spent with my grandma when I was a child."

Wu Xianxian pointed to the chili peppers hanging from the roof beam and began to share her childhood memories with everyone with great interest.

He Manman: "Sister Xianxian, did you suffer a lot when you were little?"

Waaah. If I suffer a lot, I'll become even more like her.

"No, although the conditions weren't very good and we were always hungry, my grandma was so good to me. She would always save the best things for me, so even though I was a left-behind child, my childhood was very happy."

Speaking of her grandmother, Wu Xianxian's face was full of nostalgia; she was a very kind old lady.

"It's all in the past." He Manman patted Wu Xianxian's shoulder, as if to comfort her, or perhaps to comfort herself.

As she spoke, Hua Shuyue stared blankly at the roof beam, lost in thought. She, too, had lived in the countryside, with that person.

Wu Xianxian turned around and saw Hua Shuyue's eyes. "Sister Shuyue, these are chili pepper skewers. People in the countryside like to keep them fresh this way. You've never seen this before, have you? Hahaha."

Hua Shuyue smirked, "Who has as much experience as you?"

Wu Xianxian choked for a moment, but then started laughing happily again in a second.

"Life is much better now, hehe, I have someone to back me up."

He Manman's eyes widened. Is this something you can say in front of the camera?

"Ah, Sister Xianxian, is it what I meant?"

Wu Xianxian tilted her head in confusion, then seemed to realize something and poked He Manman's forehead. "What are you thinking about? I meant family. I have family with me, taking care of me."

When the word "family" came up, Wu Xianxian glanced at Hua Shuyue again.

Noticing Wu Xianxian's gaze, Hua Shuyue frowned, as if she had remembered someone, and then she fell silent again.

Hehe Manman: "Let's go, let's go see the cave room. I'm so excited. I wonder if it will be the same as the ones I've lived in before."

Wu Xianxian: "You've lived in a cave?"

As far as she knew, He Manman, who had been a child star since she was young, probably wouldn't live in a cave.

He Manman realized she had misspoke, "I meant when we were filming, in the movie, in the movie, hehe."

"Oh, oh."
