Shi Xuan showed Yao Ran the gas stove and said, "I have repaired several gas stoves. This one is for you."
She took the gas stove and said, "Thank you."
Shi Xuan nodded and smiled, "Miss Yao, my friends and I want to invite you to dinner today to thank you for letting us stay here."
Hearing this, Yao Ran did not refuse. "Alright. I will definitely come. Thank you for inviting me."
Shi Xuan smiled, "This is what we should do. Then I will go back and prepare for the dinner."
After he left, Yao Ran put the gas stove in the kitchen and connected it to one of the gas cylinders there. Then, she went back to her daily training.
A few hours later, Yao Ran finished her daily training and took a shower. Coming out from the space, she harvested a bunch of vegetables and mushrooms from the balcony and the planting rooms. She then left the apartment with a basket full of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
Just when she knocked on the door of unit 2001, Yao Ran saw Long Yu coming out of unit 2002. Seeing her there, he locked the door and walked up to her.
Not long after, Jia Xiang opened the door and smiled at them. "Please come in. Dinner is almost ready."
Yao Ran walked in, handed over the basket to Jia Xiang, and said, "This is a small gift to celebrate the housewarming."
Jia Xiang's eyes lit up when she saw the fresh vegetables, tomatoes, and mushrooms. After the natural disasters began, vegetables, meat, mushrooms, fruits, and other fresh products disappeared from the market.
Not to mention fresh vegetables. Even dried vegetables and pickles were fought over by people as they were a world delicacy. Therefore, this basket of fresh vegetables, tomatoes, and mushrooms is actually more precious than gold in their current situation.
Jia Xiang hugged the basket tightly and smiled at Yao Ran, "Thank you, Yao Ran." Behind her, Long Yu closed the door and followed the happy Jia Xiang to the living room. When Long Yu saw that only Huang Qian and Huang Zhihui were in the living room, he went to the kitchen and placed a plastic bag containing instant noodles and canned food on the counter. Since Shi Xuan and Deng Qiqi were busy cooking, Long Yu left without saying anything.
With the addition of fresh vegetables, tomatoes, and mushrooms, Shi Xuan prepared several more dishes for tonight's dinner.
They sat around the low table in the living room while Shi Xuan and Deng Qiqi brought the dishes out from the kitchen. Looking at the stir-fried vegetables, chili potato shreds, pork dumplings, and a big bowl of mushroom soup, everyone couldn't wait to move their chopsticks.
The dishes were very simple, but Huang Qian, Shi Xuan, Jia Xiang, Deng Qiqi, and Huang Zhihui almost cried after taking the first bite. These two days, they finally live decent lives after the typhoon hits the world.
They finally had a roof over their heads, hot water to wash themselves with, and delicious food to fill their bellies. They even smile in their dreams while sleeping at night. It feels so good to have a house and a full belly.
