"Where's the brush?"
"Where are the bamboo sticks?"
"Um, what, what about the sweet noodle sauce I bought last time?"
"Did I just bring up the charcoal? If I did, where did I put it?"
If Xia Yitong was close, she would get it for Lu Yinbing. If Liang Shuyao was close, she would help her get it. She would ask the same question twice, and Xia Yitong would answer her patiently. Liang Shuyao heard it and teased, "Lu Yinbing, you have Alzheimer's disease, why is your memory so...ah!"
Xia Yitong stepped hard on Liang Shuyao's foot.
Liang Shuyao: "Why are you stepping on me?"
Lu Yinbing had her back to the two of them and would soon turn around. It was unknown whether she heard what was said or not. Fortunately, Liang Shuyao spoke in a relatively low voice and there was wind above, so the possibility that she did not hear it was quite high.
Xia Yitong was anxious and winked at her. Liang Shuyao didn't understand, but she was quick-witted and immediately said loudly: "Fortunately you stopped me, otherwise I would have stepped on all those little ants. I have recently believed in Buddhism and I don't kill."
Lu Yinbing stood there and thought for a while, then took the seasoning bottle containing cumin and put it in the correct place.
Xia Yitong breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Liang Shuyao, and said with a sincere expression, "Thank you."
Liang Shuyao frowned and mouthed back, "What's going on?"
Xia Yitong shook her head and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. I'll tell you later."
Xia Yitong announced that he would unilaterally give up his hostile stance towards Liang Shuyao. The two of them had reached a common front for the first time ever, but things could not be discussed now. Everything had to wait until after they finished eating the barbecue and when Lu Yinbing was not around.
The three of them worked for another half an hour before setting up the wire mesh and other things. Everything was sorted and within easy reach. Liang Shuyao was about to ask Xia Yitong when there was a commotion outside. It turned out that the people who went out to buy things had returned. Liu Cheng and the others went to the nearest supermarket. The ingredients for the barbecue were all in that section. They just had to load the carts in.
The Orange Man heard the noise before he arrived, and shouted, "We almost emptied the supermarket freezer. If it wasn't for our eldest cousin stopping us, we could have moved a second freezer. It's terrible."
Lu Yinbing said, "Can you guys eat it? I'll roast it all today. If you can't finish it, I'll give it all to you."
Liu Cheng: "Why? You just know how to bully me. The meat inside was picked up by my eldest cousin. Look how miserable he is. He must have been abused by my cousin's wife at home. He didn't even have a full meal."
Cousin: “…”
Liang Shuyao said coldly: "I think you want to be beaten again."
Liu Cheng glared at her and said, "Do you think your cousin is violent? He is very good to me." Liu Cheng stuck out her tongue and looked at her cousin, "Is it my cousin?"
The eldest cousin withdrew his hand and warned her, "This time it's okay, but if it happens again, I won't be able to say anything."
Liu Cheng: "Hehe, are you going to bring your cousin's wife to our party next year?"
Liang Shuyao, Lu Yinbing, and the eldest cousin said in unison: "You dare."
Xia Yitong was a little confused, so Lu Yinbing lowered his voice and explained to her, "We agreed when we were little that every year we could only go to the reunion alone, without bringing our families. Otherwise, the meaning of the reunion would be completely changed. You happened to be at my house today, otherwise I would have gone to meet them alone."
Xia Yitong nodded.
Lu Yinbing added: "Look at my cousin. He's married and has kids. We can barely forgive him for bringing a wife, but forget about the kids. We still have to tease him and set an example. We can't even hang out, gossip, or joke around. What's the point of such a party? It's so annoying."
Xia Yitong has no relatives like uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts, and has never been harassed like this. But when she compared it to the situation when she returned to the welfare home and was surrounded by a group of children, the hairs on her back stood up. She has a good temper. After her debut, she felt goose bumps all over her body when she was surrounded by such children, not to mention Lu Yinbing who is afraid of trouble. Assuming that in the future, this group of people will get married and have children, and each person will take care of two, then there will be ten children. Even if each person has one, there will be five. The shouting of dad, mom, aunt, and aunt is like tens of thousands of ducks screaming in your ears. It is unbearable for ordinary people. How can they have a peaceful gathering
Xia Yitong smiled as she thought about it. It turned out that they had thought of this many years ago.
"What are you standing there for?" Lu Yinbing called her, "Come, light a fire."
Using solid alcohol as a primer, she burned smokeless charcoal underneath and brushed a layer of shiny oil on the clean wire mesh. Lu Yinbing's movements looked very skilled. Xia Yitong raised her eyebrows in surprise. She should be the kind of princess who would sit there and wait for someone to bring her food.
Lu Yinbing said: "I love labor, and labor loves me."
Xia Yitong cooperated very well and clapped her hands, clapping, clapping.
Liang Shuyao teased her, "Do you know why she monopolizes the grill? She gets to eat the food first after it's done, and she gives us the food she doesn't eat."
Xia Yitong let out an "ah" and burst into laughter.
Lu Yinbing said, "Still laughing? I am doing you a favor. I will give you some delicious food later."
When the wire mesh is heated and oil drips into the charcoal with a sizzling sound, put the grilled wings and steaks on them and use a small brush to brush on the fragrant barbecue sauce, forming a layer of sauce-colored meat. As the heat increases, the oil from the meat itself comes out and blends completely with the barbecue sauce, giving off a strong and fragrant smell.
Several pairs of eyes looked on eagerly.
Lu Yinbing picked up the tongs... and turned the steak over. The splashing sound was particularly loud. The meat was tender and the texture itself was very beautiful. When the tongs pressed on it, it was very elastic.
Xia Yitong swallowed her saliva. She didn't know whether it was because the appearance was so good or because the steak was really appetizing.
After a while.
Lu Yinbing: "Plate."
Five plates were placed in front of her. Lu Yinbing looked around pretentiously and gave the first freshly baked steak to Xia Yitong. Liu Cheng curled her lips and said, "I knew it."
"Why are you in such a hurry? We will have everything." Lu Yinbing opened his mouth and took a small bite of the meat that Xia Yitong brought over. The sauce was rich and smooth, and the meat was chewy and tender. The meat was top quality, and it was chewy and had bones and tendons all over it. Lu Yinbing nodded with satisfaction, "Who bought this meat?"
The eldest cousin said, "I specially asked my secretary to send it from my home."
Lu Yinbing said, "Okay, the next piece of meat is for my eldest cousin, as a reward."
Lu Yinbing grilled a lot of steaks and shared them with everyone. The skewers were placed on the other side, brushed with barbecue sauce and seasonings, and skewered on bamboo sticks. They were rolled up and down in their hands until the skewers turned golden. While eating the barbecue, several people stared at the skewers in Lu Yinbing's hand.
Lu Yinbing sprinkled cumin powder on a grilled chicken wing and took it out from a pile of grilled skewers. Before Xia Yitong could make a move, Liu Cheng came over and snatched it away. In order to prevent Lu Yinbing from hitting her, she ran away with the chicken wing in her hand.
Lu Yinbing cursed from behind: "You are the reincarnation of a starving ghost."
Liu Cheng retorted as he ran: "I am much fatter than my sister-in-law."
Although this angered Lu Yinbing, it also praised Xia Yitong. Lu Yinbing said, "Come back, I'll give you another string."
After one person tried the first skewer to try it out, the subsequent barbecues became much more casual. There were piles of meat and vegetables on the wire mesh and the grill. Everyone sat on the ground, and a large bag of beer was thrown on the ground.
Each person opened a can, and without saying a word, poured half a can down their throats, burped, and then gulped down the wine and ate the meat.
I was bored sitting there, so I just played a game, a very old-fashioned game called Truth or Dare. If you lose, the winner gets to decide who the loser is. Truth or Dare is an even more old-fashioned game, and it tells you who is the undercover. You can play it on your phone.
After losing the first round of Orange, several people discussed asking her to speak her mind. It was a trivial question: "If anyone present could choose someone to spend the rest of their life with, who would they choose?"
Liu Cheng said, "I choose sister-in-law."
Lu Yinbing: "What did you say?"
Liu Cheng said: "The others are all relatives. Close relatives cannot marry."
Liang Shuyao hit her on the head.
The undercover agent won the second round. The undercover agent was Lu Yinbing. According to the rules of the game, Lu Yinbing could choose anyone to punish at random. Lu Yinbing looked around and mentioned Liang Shuyao's name with a faint expression. Liang Shuyao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Lu Yinbing thought about it, showed a sly smile, and asked: "Tell me the truth, who is usually on top between you and your girlfriend?"
Liang Shuyao's face darkened.
Liu Cheng: “Hahahahahaha.”
My cousin just took a sip of beer and then turned his head and spat it out.
My eldest cousin was leaning on the ground and laughing.
Xia Yitong secretly poked Lu Yinbing's back with her finger, thinking that she was mean and mean.
Not long after, Liang Shuyao gave the answer: "...she."
Liu Cheng led the way in cheering, "Well done!"
Liang Shuyao asked Lu Yinbing: "Who is usually on top, you or your girlfriend?"
Lu Yinbing looked at her with contempt: "Wait until you beat me."
The second undercover was Liang Shuyao, who was voted out in the second round. Everyone instructed Lu Yinbing to ask again. Lu Yinbing held his breath, his thin lips moved, and he asked another question: "Truthfully, who is on top and who is on the bottom when you and your girlfriend are in bed?"
Liu Cheng laughed for a long time, then came to her senses and said, "I've asked this before, it doesn't count."
Liang Shuyao took the opportunity to answer her quickly: "She, she, she, she, this question is passed!"
Liu Cheng: "No, this one doesn't count. Sister Yin Bing, please come up with a new one."
Lu Yinbing looked at Xia Yitong, who nodded slightly. Lu Yinbing took a deep breath, bit her lower lip, and said, "I was too nervous and forgot to ask. Let me ask you another question. Where do you think is the most extreme place you and your girlfriend have ever been?"
Liu Cheng: "It's too dirty. I like it."
Liang Shuyao: "In the car."
She answered easily, her eyes flashed, and there was a thoughtful look in her eyes as she looked at Lu Yinbing.
