Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

Liang Ladi also saw Li Xuewu.

It would be hard for a person standing on the stone pier at the entrance of the cafeteria, wearing clothes other than factory clothes, not to attract attention.

This guy is not only young but also good-looking. He has a confident feeling when standing there. This is Liang Ladi’s first impression of Li Xuewu.

Moreover, she had met him before and knew he was Nan Yi's friend. She had seen him and Nan Yi going out several times on weekends, and when they came back, they brought pheasants, hares and other things. The aroma of the stewed meat made the children very noisy, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it, so she had only met him and was just an acquaintance.

Li Xuewu walked into the cafeteria again after most of the factory employees had finished their meal and left one after another. At this time, Nan Yi was also free. Some of the employees who came late also had their meals served by other people in the cafeteria, so there was no need for him, the chef, to do it himself.

He took two boxes of pre-prepared dishes, made a few steamed buns, and called Li Xuewu to find a place to sit down together: "Our canteen is not as good as your main factory, so let's make do with it. I'll go find some good dishes in the afternoon, and we'll have a good meal in the evening."

"No, let me prepare the food for dinner. Your salary is not enough for you to have a few meals in restaurants. I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, so I won't go back tonight. I'll squeeze in with you!" Li Xuewu said while stuffing a steamed bread into his mouth.

"Okay, I won't be polite with you! Anyway, you are better at making things than me!" Nan Yi nodded, and then suddenly caught a glimpse of Liang Ladi who was walking out: "Hey, Liang Ladi, wait a minute!"

He stood up and took a few quick steps to catch up with Liang Ladi who was already at the cafeteria entrance. The two of them whispered for a long time before Liang Ladi left with a satisfied smile on her face.

When Nan Yi came back, Li Xuewu asked, "How is it going? Is it settled?"

"Well, it's settled! Widow Liang will help me invite Ding Qiunan to my house, and she will prepare dinner for her family in the evening. The leftovers will also belong to her! But you will have to prepare more food!" Nan Yi nodded.

"That's okay. Just consider it as a reward for your cooking on the weekend! I won't suffer any loss either," Li Xuewu said with a smile.

"But, are you really willing to give up the opportunity to go to the steel mill for that Doctor Ding?"

Nan Yi hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, "I finally fell in love with someone, I don't want to give up just like that!"

"I didn't realize you were such a romantic. How about this, if you cook for your boss on the weekend and he's satisfied with you, I'll talk to him and see if we can transfer you and Doctor Ding to the steel mill. It will also make it easier for you to date!"

Nan Yi's eyes lit up again when he heard these two words. There were too many people in this factory staring at Ding Qiunan. The competition was intense, and he didn't have much of an advantage. It would be different if he was in a new environment. At least the two of them were familiar with each other. He still understood the principle of proximity: "Are you serious?"

"More sincere than your love for Dr. Ding!" Li Xuewu looked at him and nodded.

"Thanks, brother. You can see how I perform then." Nan Yi's excitement was beyond words.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's talk about what we're having for dinner tonight. I'll go get something for you in a minute!"

Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll need two pounds of pork, a chicken, a fish, some vermicelli, mushrooms, etc. I'll make four-happiness meatballs, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised fish, some green vegetables, and a soup. Four dishes and one soup will be perfect!"

"Well, you have really high requirements! Aren't you afraid that I can't do it?"

"I knew you would find a way!"

"Okay, wait. I'm leaving now and will meet you at the factory gate in two hours!"

After stuffing the last bite of steamed bread into his mouth, Li Xuewu stood up and left the cafeteria, pushed his bicycle to the factory gate, and went into the mountains. The things that Nan Yi wanted were really hard to find in the village, and most importantly, they were not available just by going there.

If you can’t buy it in the village, you can only buy it from the system mall. I might as well not even go to the village, and just wander around in the mountains for two hours to see if I can come across a pheasant, rabbit or something.

The result was that after wandering around for a long time, they didn't find any wild animals on the mountain.

He found a valley, installed a silencer on his pistol, and practiced his shooting skills against rocks for a while, wasting dozens of bullets. When he saw that the time was almost up, he cleaned up the scene, picked up the fallen bullet casings on the ground, went down the mountain, got his bicycle from his fellow villager's house, and walked back.

When he was almost at the steel plant, he found a secluded place, bought the things Qi Nanyi needed from the system mall, put them in a sack, and clamped it on the back seat of the bicycle.

From a distance, I saw Nan Yi wandering around the factory gate. He stepped on the door a few times and said, "You came out early. There's no work in the cafeteria!"

"Why do you need a chef like me to do the cleaning? It takes time to make the four-happiness meatballs, so we have to prepare them in advance! Otherwise, we won't be able to eat them in time. How about buying everything?"

Li Xuewu patted the sack on the back seat, Nan Yi took it down and opened it: "It's you who can get anything! Let's go, take me with you, and go back and do it!"

After saying that, he jumped on the back of the bicycle.

Nan Yi now lives in the factory dormitory, a two-story row building. Due to the shortage of formal housing, many families can only live here first. Nan Yi's house is close to the middle. On the left is a middle-aged couple with two children, and on the right is Liang Ladi's house.

When they got home, Liang Ladi's children were playing in the yard, covered in mud.

"Da Mao, why are you guys covered in dirt again? Your mother will beat you up when you come back!" Nan Yi said jokingly when he saw the looks on the kids' faces.

"My mother won't beat us!" said a little girl of four or five years old.

"Okay, your mother won't beat you." Nan Yi certainly wouldn't argue with a child.

Da Mao quickly began to brush the dirt off his brothers and sisters: "Uncle Nan, when will my mother come back?"

"I'll be back soon after get off work! Play with your brothers and sisters and don't run around!"

After instructing the children, Nan Yi opened the door and let Li Xuewu in: "Please sit wherever you want. There's water on the table. I'll start preparing it!"

Nan Yi took out the ingredients from the sack and went to the kitchen, leaving Li Xuewu alone in the room. Not to mention that Nan Yi lived alone, the place was relatively clean. At least there was no dust on the table, the quilt on the bed was folded, and there was no smell of stinky feet!

Li Xuewu sat down and poured himself a glass of water. When he looked up, he saw several children leaning against the door and looking towards the kitchen.

"Come on, come in!" Li Xuewu waved at them.

"Uncle, my mother told us not to enter other people's homes casually!" the little girl said again.

Li Xuewu smiled. These kids were pretty good. They were sensible and polite. "Your Uncle Nan is not someone else. I'm still here. Come in!"

Several children came in and approached Li Xuewu: "What are your names?"

"My name is Damao, this is Ermao, Sanmao and Xiuer!" Damao, the oldest boy, introduced.

"You are so good. Come here, uncle has some candy for you!" After touching Damao's head, Li Xuewu took out a bag of milk candy from his bag.

The little girl spoke again: "My mom said I can't eat other people's food!"

Li Xuewu smiled and peeled off a candy wrapper, took the candy in his hand and said, "Then answer me a question and I'll reward you with a candy, okay?"

"Uh-huh"

"Your name is Xiu'er, right? How old are you this year?"

“I’m five years old!”

"Okay, then I'll give you one as a reward!" After saying that, he put the candy into Xiu'er's mouth.

"How sweet! Uncle, you haven't received your reward for our last question yet!" said Xiu'er while eating candy.

The little girl was quite smart. "Oh, yes, come on, there are rewards. Take one piece each first. How old are you guys?" Li Xuewu asked them all after they took one.

"I'm six, I'm seven, I'm eight!"

"Okay, get another reward!"

Li Xuewu asked several questions in succession, got a clear understanding of the Liang family's situation, and distributed the bag of candy on the table.

"Okay, let's go play."

The four children ran out to play with the candies.

Li Xuewu said to Nan Yi in the kitchen, "Old Nan, Liang Ladi is really fertile. She has one baby every year. I guess the couple has done nothing else since they got married!"
