In the morning, Shan Sinuan woke up fifteen minutes earlier than the alarm clock. The rain was still falling and it did not slow down at all.
She sat up from the bed, looked at the rain outside the window, and let out a long sigh. When will this heavy rain stop?
After sitting in silence for fifteen minutes, the alarm on her cell phone beeped. She turned off the alarm, changed her clothes, and left the room.
The door to Su Jincheng's room was closed, and it seemed that he was not awake yet. The sound of news could be heard faintly from Zhuang Xiaomeng's room, so he must have woken up.
After Shan Sinuan went to the bathroom to wash up, she went directly to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. Looking at the various ingredients she purchased in the supermarket yesterday, she thought for a while and planned to make vegetable porridge with a pot of fried dumplings.
, and stir in some pickled vegetables.
She usually doesn't cook at home, so it's still difficult for her to do these things. She opened the cooking app on her mobile phone and followed the steps above clumsily.
She stood in front of the sink, lowered her head and carefully selected the vegetables, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "If I know that I am preparing breakfast for them here, I will be so angry that I will scold me. But I am willing, I like it!"
Suddenly, Zhuang Xiaomeng's voice came from behind, "Sinuan, why did you get up so early?"
Shan Sinuan, who was concentrating on his work, was startled and trembled.
"Auntie, you're up too."
Zhuang Xiaomeng said apologetically: "I scared you, didn't I? What are you doing?" She asked as she walked towards her.
Shan Sinuan said: "Let's prepare breakfast. Make vegetable porridge with fried dumplings in the morning, okay?"
Zhuang Xiaomeng said quickly: "Sinuan, you are a guest, how can I let you work? Stop doing it, I will do it."
"Auntie, your feet haven't healed yet, how can you do it?" Shan Sinuan said, helping her to sit aside, and said: "Don't be polite to me, Jincheng doesn't know how to do it.
, I'll do it, it's nothing." After she finished speaking, she walked back to the sink and continued to choose vegetables.
"Actually, I'm not very good at cooking. My brother usually makes breakfast at home and I eat ready-made breakfast. If I don't cook it well later, don't laugh at me." She said, turning to Zhuang Xiaomeng.
said with a smile.
Zhuang Xiaomeng laughed twice, "We eat ready-made food, how can we laugh at you? It's too late to thank you. You are also a child of a wealthy family. You cook for us, and I feel very sorry."
"What kind of wealthy family? They should be better off than those below." Shan Sinuan washed the vegetables and started washing rice. While chatting with Zhuang Xiaomeng, he said: "Our ancestors are not from a famous family. Compared with the seventh brother-in-law's family,
Incomparable."
Zhuang Xiaomeng said: "You can't say that, you are pretty good too."
Shan Sinuan smiled, scrolled with her fingers on her phone, looked at the steps, and continued cutting vegetables.
Zhuang Xiaomeng watched from behind as she was busy banging her hands here and there, hitting here and there, and it was obvious that she didn't know how to work. She couldn't sit still, so she stood up with crutches and walked towards her.
"What are you going to do next?" she asked.
Shan Sinuan said: "The rice is in the pot, just wait for the vegetables and lean meat to be boiled. Now I am going to make fried dumplings. I bought the raw fried dumplings in the supermarket yesterday. Just fry them and eat them."
She said a little embarrassedly: "But, I am a little afraid of oil pans and afraid of being splashed by oil."
Zhuang Xiaomeng said: "I'll fry the dumplings, and you can just watch the porridge."
"I also plan to make a small dish."
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at her with a smile, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: he was not very good at cooking, but he had some ideas.
"Then you mix the vegetables and I'll fry the dumplings." Zhuang Xiaomeng said and walked to the stove.
Frying slowly over low heat, this semi-finished product is very convenient to make. After a while, two boxes of fried dumplings were ready. The aroma filled the entire kitchen.
Over there, Shan Sinuan also mixed the side dishes and brought them to the restaurant along with the fried dumplings.
After Su Jincheng got up and came out of the room, he heard voices in the kitchen and dining room. He walked over curiously and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw breakfast on the table.
At this time, Shan Sinuan came over with porridge and said, "I was going to call you. Come and eat."
"You did all this? You can do it, Shan Sixuan." Su Jincheng held a fried dumpling between two fingers and threw it into his mouth, smiling and asking.
Shan Sinuan said, "Auntie made it together with me. Otherwise, how could I be so fast? Auntie fried the dumplings."
"Ah," Su Jincheng smacked his lips twice and said, "I'm going to wash my face first."
When he came back from washing, Shan Sinuan and Zhuang Xiaomeng sat down and started eating. He said nothing more and lowered his head to eat.
"It's raining so hard, can you two still go to work?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked worriedly.
Shan Sinuan said, "I don't know. It's raining too much. It's impossible to drive. I have to walk to the subway station to have a look."
"The subway won't be any better," Su Jincheng said.
"What should we do?" Shan Sinuan asked.
"What should we do? Let's go out and take a look first. In this extreme weather, it's not safe to take the subway."
The two of them had dinner, took their bags and left the house. When they came out of the unit, their feet were soaked by the rain before they even got down the steps.
"My high heels." Shan Sinuan cried out distressedly.
Su Jincheng held an umbrella and looked back at her in front, reminding her, "Be careful and walk forward through the water."
"Yeah!" Shan Sinuan answered from behind, holding an umbrella.
When we arrived at the gate of the community, a few young people from the community gathered there and were talking to the security guard.
"If we are not allowed out of the community, how can we go to work? Where is the order from?" Several people asked in confusion.
The security guy explained, "We have just received the order from the superiors. Now because of the heavy rain, the whole city is paralyzed. Even if you go out, there is no transportation, and the subway has stopped. How do you go to the company? You are not allowed to leave the community now."
, but also for your safety."
A girl asked doubtfully: "The subway has stopped? Is it true?"
"Can I still lie to you? Look, the leader sent this to our group." The security guy raised the phone in front of them.
Shan Si Nuan and Su Jincheng stepped forward and took a quick look, and it was indeed the case.
"If I'm not allowed to leave the community, what will I eat and drink? I don't have anything at home." Another girl said excitedly.
"Yes, I don't even have any supplies at home. No, I still have to go out. I have to go to the supermarket to buy something to eat."
The security guy was busy trying to persuade them to calm down.
When Shan Si Nuan and Su Jincheng saw this situation, since they couldn't get out, they had no choice but to go back obediently.
Zhuang Xiaomeng had just finished cleaning the kitchen at home when she heard the door open and the two of them came back.
"You can't get out, can you?" she asked.
Shan Sinuan took off her high heels, her feet were wet, and said, "We are not allowed to leave the community. The security guard said that the subway has stopped."
