The Soul Reborn
14. Everyone Who Came In Was A Guest



Ever since Zhu Haimei borrowed money and wrote the guarantee letter, Shen Dongyuan could barely see it at home. He did see her once in a while and Zhu Haimei was already not the same as before. Although it was still fat, but Zhu Haimei was now more presentable. Her clothes were always clean, her hair was neatly combed, and even her house did not smell. Now his house has become clean and tidy. Zhu Haimei said that he went to do small business, but what business did he do? I don't know, Shen Dongyuan didn't want to ask. Shen Dongyuan was already very grateful as long as Zhu Haimei did not bother him.


Today Zhu Haimei prepared the items he would use for tomorrow. He came home early with a large bag of meat and vegetables. Zhu Haimei really had gotten quite tired of eating rice these few days, so he wanted to steam mantou (typical Chinese bread). But he forgot to buy yeast, so he had to ask for Kak Huang's yeast. Brother Huang did not say anything and only gave him yeast.


"What have you been doing lately? Every time I go to your house during the day, you are not home. At night, I have to look after Qiang Qiang, so I don't have time to go to your house."


"Not doing anything. I went out and looked for something to do."


Brother Huang was surprised after hearing the answer just now. "Searching for something to do? did what?"


"Finding money to eat." Zhu Haimei did not want to tell Brother Huang that he was selling food. Not out of shame, but he just doesn't know how to explain it. Zhu Haimei then said, "Tonight I will cook a delicious meal at home. What if Brother Huang and Qiang Qiang also come to eat together?"


Brother Huang refused. "No, there's no need. We eat at home."


"In the past, I used to come to Mr. Huang's house to finish food." Zhu Haimei said then grabbed onto Brother Huang's hand and continued his sentence. "Come, so that my heart may not feel guilty."


Then Qiang Qiang came up to them and said, "Mom, I want to eat good. I want to eat well."


Brother Huang was embarrassed too. "You're a really insensitive child." He told Qiang Qiang.


Zhu Haimei then withdrew Qiang Qiang's hand. "Come, there's a delicious meal at aunt's house, there's meat and beans!" At the time, nuts were only for adults to eat and were very rarely given to children.


Qiang Qiang's eyes also shone. He shook his hands relentlessly while whining. "Mom... Ma'am...."


Brother Huang said shyly. "What if I also go to your house to help? In your home what shortage? I'll get it from my house." Zhu Haimei bowed and smiled sweetly, saying, "No need, sister. Just come to the house. How about Qiang Qiang go to aunt's house first and play with aunt? Aunt has an apple in the house."


Actually the apple was a gift from the aunt of the owner of his small house in Shangshui Village. When the aunt's family harvested their two apple trees, there were some immature apples falling. Finally they gave it to Zhu Haimei. Even so, the apple taste is still good.


A child is still a child. If he had been very hostile towards Zhu Haimei before, but when he heard that there was something delicious, he immediately went with him.


Zhu Haimei smiled at Brother Huang and said, "Sister Huang, you clean the house first. Later, you can bring two folding chairs when you go to my house."


Before Shen Dongyuan reached the door of the house, he felt shocked when he heard the happy laughter of a little boy from inside his house. Whose kid is that? Her thought. After entering the house, he only found out that it was Qiang Qiang's voice. But didn't Qiang Qiang hate Zhu Haimei the most? How could the boy come here?


As he entered the house, Zhu Haimei came out with a plate of snacks and said, "Have come home already. Today Brother Huang will eat at our house. Go and call Brother Wu."


Zhu Haimei gave people like Shen Dongyuan the best reputation. Besides, Brother Huang is still in their home. And if Shen Dongyuan wanted to get angry, he would have to wait for those guests to come home first. Shen Dongyuan would definitely not be furious before the guests.


Sure enough, Shen Dongyuan simply agreed to Zhu Haimei's words and walked out to call Brother Wu. After a while, he returned with Wu Tianlei and another person behind him. Zhu Haimei was not at all surprised by their arrival. He greeted them kindly. "Here you go, let's all sit down quickly. The food will be ready in a moment. Dongyuan, I haven't bought a beer yet. Come down and buy some beer." Zhu Haimei even called him 'Dongyuan' very naturally.


The moment Wu Tianlei heard him, he immediately stopped him. "I'm the one who left."


After Shen Dongyuan took the money, he thought, since when is Zhu Haimei smart to speak like this? When he came down and saw the two 10 yuan bills in his hand, he was immediately shocked. Twenty yuan!


When Shen Dongyuan came home with a few bottles of beer, there were two more people trailing behind him. As soon as they heard that Captain Shen's family wife was cooking, they rushed over and joined happily. How could the personality of Zhu Haimei who was a famous slacker and was alone change?


Shen Dongyuan knew they had come with the intent to see the joke, but he was also not at ease to say no to them. Zhu Haimei had no problem with it, as long as it came instead Zhang Zhonghai and Zhong Yan. After all, he had also prepared so much food, he even steamed a pot of mantou.


After Shen Dongyuan made sure Zhu Haimei was alone in the kitchen, he stood at the kitchen door and pensively pensively. When he came home, they greeted each other for a while and then he came out again. During these few days, he had only heard Zhu Haimei's voice and did not see his person directly. Although his face was still stye and his body was still full of meat, but he could see that Zhu Haimei had lost a lot of weight and looked even more presentable His hair that was originally like a chicken nest, was, now it's tied up neatly.


Zhu Haimei laughed as he saw Shen Dongyuan standing at the door. He then said, "What's wrong? Are you worried that the food I prepared is not enough?"


"It's not. I just want to see if there's anything I can help?"


"no need. Isn't there a snack? Open the beer, you drink first. Saute the vegetables that will be finished soon."


Shen Dongyuan replied with, "Alright."


There are four dishes on the table, there are mazhidoujiao (a long bean sauce bean), peanuts, huangguafensi (cucumber and tomato salad), as well as liangbanzhuerduo (pork ear salad). Shen Dongyuan then greeted the few people who had come to his house. They all sat down at the table and the atmosphere started to live. Wu Tianlei pulled Qiang Qiang into his embrace and Qiang Qiang also rambled wanting to eat this and that.


Brother Huang who was in the kitchen said, "I will call Qiang Qiang here."


"Don't, Brother Huang." Prevent Zhu Haimei then hurriedly pull Brother Huang. "They're not here for drinks either. Let Qiang Qiang play there."


Brother Huang did not call Qiang. "Haimei I think your cooking skills are fine too. Many dishes I've never seen before."


Zhu Haimei smiled after hearing Brother Huang's words just now. Moments later, I heard a knock on the door from outside. "Hey, there's a lot of it. I want to join too."


Zhu Haimei felt familiar with the voice just now and asked Brother Huang. "Who is that?"


"That's Captain Zhang."


Oh, it was Zhong Yan's husband, Zhu Haimei wouldn't have been hit by a bowl throw if it wasn't for the couple. Zhu Haimei then involuntarily touched his forehead. It's already a scar, forget it. He thought, everyone who came was a guest, so he should not have to bother about it. Previously he had fried peanuts, so he rushed to ask for help Kak Huang to put it on a plate and deliver it to the front.


Shortly thereafter Brother Huang returned with an empty plate. "Those people can only eat, all the snacks are almost gone."


Upon hearing Brother Huang's words, Zhu Haimei raised a fire and immediately sauteed vegetables.
