The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

When Zhou Quan came out of the East Wing after a full meal, he faced a problem that made him scratch his head.

Looking at the two people in the eyes, Zhou Quan asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you talk about it?"

The guy who came here with the head of the male dormitory of Phoenix University thought that the boy was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Zhou, it's like this, we want to hold a sorority, do you know if there is a suitable venue in the village? Don't worry, we have already raised the expenses, and the venue will be tidied up and cleaned by ourselves, so we will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Fellowship?Holding a social gathering in the village in the freezing weather?What are these young people thinking?

Probably because of Zhou Quan's expression, are you kidding me?

It turned out that after they checked into the homestay, they discovered that most of the guests in the surrounding rooms were single, young men and women who found an excuse to join a group and come out for fun.

Later, they followed the girl up the mountain to pick flowers, and found that the people who came and went back and forth on the mountain road in the flower shed were mainly young people in their twenties.

Later, the head of the dormitory met his cousin again on the mountain. This one also found a reason to come out chic with a group of homeless bachelors in the company.

They didn't book a room at Bao's B&B, so they found a farmhouse with a good reputation in the village to live in. Coincidentally, a group of nurses from the health school who were practicing were living next door to this group of young people.

This local tyrant in his cousin's unit fell in love with one of the nurses at first sight and wanted to get to know him very much.

However, when they were away from home, the nurses were very vigilant, and although they were very polite to strangers who came to strike up a conversation, they absolutely did not want to contact them.

The local tyrant is very helpless about this, but those "dog-headed military advisers" beside him, for the sake of their colleagues and themselves, actually encourage the local tyrant to hold a social gathering, so that everyone can get to know each other in a legitimate way.

The local tyrant who was eager to get to know his sweetheart agreed, and asked the eloquent cousin of the dormitory manager to contact him on his behalf, saying that all expenses can be negotiated.

The corners of Zhou Quan's mouth twitched again and again when he heard this, he lamented in his heart how good it is to be young, to be able to mess around with random thoughts.

But this is the request of the guests after all, so Zhou Quan first asked politely: "How many people can confirm that they are interested in joining the fellowship? How big a venue and what kind of help do you want?"

"Our dormitory and my cousin's colleagues must have come. When I told the school girls just now, they also intend to participate. The room next to my cousin's is also a group of singles who came out to celebrate Singles' Day. After listening to us After thinking about it, I said that as long as it is held, they will definitely participate, that is, there are many people. If the fraternity is really held, the number of people will only increase and never decrease, so I have to trouble you to help us find a more spacious place."

Zhou Quan thought for a while when he heard the words, and then said helplessly: "I'm afraid we can't meet your request. You have also seen that there are no rooms in the village that can accommodate more than [-] people, or even more people." ? Of course you can squeeze in any larger room, but since it’s a friendship, there must be some activities, whether it’s eating, drinking or chatting to show off your talents, it’s not suitable in that kind of crowded room.”

"It doesn't have to be a room, an open-air one is fine, as long as the space is spacious enough."

"What, open-air socializing in this weather? Are you afraid of catching a cold?"

"Don't be afraid, what is it if someone catches a cold?"

In mid-November, the lowest temperature in the Northeast has already exceeded zero. Even if the sun is good these days, the northwest wind is also strong, and the temperature has been showing a steady downward trend.

If you really want to hold a social gathering in the village, no matter how simple the preparations are, you still have to have an afternoon, so the time for the social gathering can only be chosen in the evening.

These guys really have the perseverance to socialize outdoors in the sub-zero temperature at night.

Now that they have already said so, Zhou Quan is also willing to help, but what he said earlier, he just went to the village committee to ask if he could borrow a place, and he couldn't guarantee it.

But the young people were already very grateful for his words, and the head of the dormitory expressed his sincere gratitude to Zhouquan on behalf of his roommates.

On the side of the village committee, the village chief Chen Youde was also very surprised after hearing Zhou Quan's intention. He held his teacup and asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about? Those young people want to take advantage of the space to have a social gathering in such a cold day? What's all this?" Thinking? Is it too cold to be silly?"

Zhou Quan shrugged helplessly when he heard the words and said, "What can I do for this restless youth?"

"Nonsense, really nonsense, you will go and tell them, just say that we... er, agreed."

Chen Youde originally wanted to refuse, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Zhouquan standing on the other side of the desk.

If he remembers wrongly, Ah Quan will have 25 or [-] this year?There are also Bao Yan from Grandpa Bao's family, and Wen Li from my own family. They are one year older than Ah Quan, and they are still single.

These children are considered to be in good condition. Since they don't like the girls around them, are there any girls from the city who can fancy them?

Thinking of this, Village Chief Chen, who was originally opposed to the sorority, suddenly connected. He felt that it would be a good thing for single men and women to get in touch with each other.

Originally, after hearing what his cousin said earlier, Zhou Quan had already planned to go out and tell the two people waiting outside that their idea would not work, but who knew that at a critical moment, his uncle would make a magical turn.

Zhou Quan, who stepped forward and then retracted, almost twisted his waist. He supported his big hip and asked in disbelief: "What did you say, cousin, did you agree?"

"It was agreed by the village. Don't you want a spacious place? The threshing floor is the most spacious. Use it, and there is no rent. Just clean it up after use."

Now that the eldest cousin had already said that, Zhou Quan went out to answer the people waiting outside.

The few young people who were waiting for the notice immediately cheered when they heard that the village allowed them to hold social gatherings and that the venue was provided free of charge.

Just as they were walking out excitedly, the loudspeaker in the village suddenly blared, and a few minutes later, in the loudspeaker of Zhouquan, his uncle said in a rough voice: "All the villagers have it, we have it. The guests of the village will hold a social gathering at the village threshing ground tonight, and everyone is welcome to participate. Whether it’s guests who come to play or men and women in the village, as long as they are single, they can participate. I wish you a happy time.”

The young people who suggested holding a fellowship looked at each other, and then looked back at Zhouquan together.

Zhou Quan, who didn't understand what his cousin was thinking, smiled awkwardly and said, "This is a public announcement, and our village will definitely support the request of the guests."

"Great. Outside of the venue, we still need some fruits, dried fruits and candies, tea and snacks, and disposable paper cups. Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Where can I buy these things?"

"Driving for ten minutes, the supermarket in the town has everything, and you should be able to buy it all at once."

"Okay, we'll go right away. If there is anything else we need, we may bother you. By the way, I heard that you can book roasted whole lamb at your hotel? If we want to eat at night, I don't know if it's too late to make a reservation now." ?”

If you want to eat the Roasted Whole Lamb at Bao's House, you have to make a reservation four hours in advance. Zhou Quan heard the words and checked the time. It is already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Uh, it's really hard to say at this time. The main reason is that I don't know if I can buy a suitable whole lamb. I have to go back and ask our chef."

"That's right, then I would trouble you to ask for help. If not, roast leg of lamb is also fine. This should be available, right?"

"The roast leg of lamb is fine, you can definitely have it tonight. I'm asking, if you can't order the whole roast lamb today, will you order it tomorrow?"

The head of the dormitory looked at the cousin next to him. His cousin called and asked, and then replied: "I don't need it tomorrow, and we have to leave tomorrow. In fact, the roasted whole lamb was not ordered for us. We ordered it." I want to hold a bonfire party at the threshing ground, roasted whole lamb is the main course, if not, I can only invite everyone to eat melon seeds, peanuts, and drink some tea."

"Then, that roast leg of lamb?"

"Oh, that's our little selfishness, thinking that if the friendship can be successful, we will invite the girls over to eat the roast leg of lamb."

"So that's how it is. You guys really thought about it comprehensively."

Full of admiration, Zhouquan returned to the B&B. Chef Bao, who was making soup, said with certainty after hearing his words: "It must be too late to roast the whole lamb. The mutton at Lao Ou's side is sold out in the morning." , not to mention the whole lamb. The leg of lamb is fine, now it’s time to marinate and roast at night.”

After flipping through the ingredients in the soup pot, and checking the ingredients in the storage room, Chef Bao thinks there should be enough and there is no need to add more.

Just when he was planning to take Ah Quan back to Sijin for a rest, Uncle Wen, who was supposed to be on vacation today, suddenly came back.

"Hey, Uncle Wen, why are you here?"

"Oh, Youde called me, saying that you and the chef are going to attend the fellowship meeting tonight, let me come over first."

"Whoever wants to participate in the fellowship is organized by the guests and has nothing to do with us."

"I don't know if it has anything to do with it. Anyway, the village chief asked you to attend, saying that if you don't go, Ah Quan, the Chen family's aunt will be very angry."

The aunt of the Chen family that Uncle Wen was talking about was Zhou Quan’s little aunt, and now he had pinched Zhou Quan’s roots, making him open and close, and finally said: “Since my aunt has spoken, I will definitely go, but I have to say something.” Well, I already have a partner, and I am only going to help the guests, not to participate in the fellowship."

"You have a date? Who is it?"

"It's not just Ah Quan, I also have a partner. Ah Quan is willing to help, just go. It's just for fun. I don't have time to play. Today's homestay is full. The guests must have ordered more than 180 dishes for dinner. You can't do it alone. Come."

"You all have a partner, when did it happen? Oh...okay, I'll work."
