Before Qi Zhen could finish his sentence, Qi Yan had already poured the spoonful of sugar into the pot.
“What’s wrong with sugar? You can add sugar to stir-fry dishes too.” After knowing that she had added the wrong seasoning, Qi Yan did not show any guilt or panic.
She put the spoon back into the box of sugar and continued to stir-fry the dishes, completely ignoring her mistake just now.
Qi Zhen stared at the quantity of sugar and frowned unhappily. “But you put too much.”
“Then add some water.”
[I’m dying of laughter. She even knows how to add water, hahaha.]
[She’s the only one who can still speak so self-righteously after using sugar instead of salt. Her answer is really amazing.]
[Qi Zhen’s younger brother is really taking on everything. I can feel his helplessness through the screen.]
[The younger brother expresses: Do you dare to eat this? I really don’t dare.]
[Hahahahaha, I thought that it was a common practice amongst all citizens in the entire country to always taste a bit of the salt or sugar in order to distinguish between them.]
[Sisters in front, how did you know that I did this? Please remove the surveillance camera in my house. Thank you.]
In the afternoon, after lunch, everyone began to clean up and restore the house to its original state.
When the neighbors nearby heard that they were leaving, they even specially sent local specialties over.
This was their fourth day on the island. Everyone basically left early and returned late on the island and they did not have much time to chat with their neighbors, but they knew of each other’s existence.
The four groups of guests received dried seafood from their neighbors and they warmly invited them to come again next time.
Among the group of neighbors who came to give gifts, Uncle Wang from the village happened to be there. When he saw Meng Chuyuan, he stood at his position as the village cadre to send them off. He did not mention the matter of building a shelter to Meng Chuyuan at all.
Meng Chuyuan still remembered this.
She knew that there were definitely many fishermen on the island who used boats as their home. Perhaps she had just not seen them for the time being.
She couldn’t afford to give everyone a boat and build them a house of their own.
Building a shelter for all of them was the only way Meng Chuyuan could think of.
Seeing that Uncle Wang didn’t mention her suggestion again, she could only take the initiative to attack. “Uncle Wang, when you’re free, go and look around the entire land. Then choose a day to find someone to start building the shelter. I’ll be responsible for this fee. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Just do it.”
Lu Qingye had told her that she could spend whatever money he gave her without asking for his opinion.
Now, Meng Chuyuan wanted to take out a portion of it to build a shelter for the fishermen wandering on the sea in case of emergencies.
When Uncle Wang heard her agree so easily, it made it even more difficult for him to make a decision.
That was not a small sum of money. Moreover, once it was confirmed, the project would become very big. It would require a lot of time and energy.
Uncle Wang was silent for a long time. He looked like he did not have much energy left. He sighed and said, “Little Meng, you’re still young. You’re still too rash in making decisions. I’ll treat it as a joke today.”
“This concerns the safety of the surrounding fishermen at sea. How can I be joking?” Meng Chuyuan said to him seriously, “I think they all want a place on land that can accept them.”
This place was really important to them.
[Sister Meng’s considerations are always so detailed. It’s too heartbreaking. Boohoo.]
[Guys, the word ‘generous’ is being used! Sister Meng is indeed Sister Meng.
She doesn’t hesitate at all and focuses on doing meaningful things.]
[It’s rare to hear someone call Sister Meng ‘Little Meng’ hahaha. We don’t even dare to do so. Uncle, you’re our biological uncle.]
[I feel that Sister Meng is a person who doesn’t lack anything, she also hasn’t picked up any bad habits yet. She’s low-key, smart, and good-looking. It’s really rare.]
[Sister in front, don’t be like this. This is a well-known matter. If you bring it up, you will look like a fake reviewer. Hahaha.]
[Although that’s true, it’s still very heartwarming guys. In order for these fishermen to have a safe place to stay on land.]
When Uncle Wang heard this, he looked surprised.
This was because he did not expect this sentence to come out of the mouth of a girl in her twenties.
Meng Chuyuan would always think from the perspective of others first. She was not troubled by other things.
After careful consideration, Uncle Wang realized that he was lacking in consideration. “You’re right. Perhaps they really need such a place. We didn’t do a good investigation in this area.”
“Give me your contact number and card number. I’ll transfer the money to you
later.”
She had not interacted much with Uncle Wang, but Meng Chuyuan could feel from their interaction that he was a reliable person and really wanted to work for the village.
Uncle Wang gave Meng Chuyuan a village phone number. “Don’t be in a hurry to transfer the money to me. I still have to go back and do a detailed investigation to see what they think.”
“Sure. I’ll call you back in a couple of days.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “Also, please tell them more about the subsidies. If they meet the requirements, ask them to apply for it. I think there are still people who don’t know about this or don’t want to do it because it’s troublesome. Try to convince them.”
“Alright.” Uncle Wang nodded.
[Everything is thorough. Sister Meng, good job.]
[My Sister Meng is the kind-hearted one. She hasn’t even met those fishermen who don’t have a home on land, but she’s already worried about their safety.]
[Some of the elders and children in the village don’t even know how to apply for subsidies. Sister Meng even managed to put that into consideration. She’s really putting in the effort. Boohoo, some of them really won’t apply for subsidies because of the trouble. Don’t ask me how I know, because my uncle is that kind of person.]
[Sister Meng’s mind is spinning too quickly. Sometimes, my mind, which is only focused on eating, really can’t keep up.]
[I’m so looking forward to it. Everyone has a new look of happiness in their eyes.]
[The people in this place might have done a lot of good things in their previous life, that’s why they can meet Sister Meng in this life. Boohoo.]
Lu Jinsen had no idea that Uncle Wang and the rest had been here because he was helping Meng Chuyuan move the luggage downstairs.
When he came out, Uncle Wang had already left with the other villagers.
Seeing the bags in Meng Chuyuan’s hands, he frowned and asked, “What are you holding?”
“Seafood from the villagers.”
Lu Jinsen pulled his luggage over and placed it beside her. “I helped you move your luggage down. It’s almost time to leave.”
Meng Chuyuan nodded lightly. “Okay, let’s go.”
Everyone left their residences and gathered at the docks.
When the other guests saw Xu Zeyi beside Liao Jiake, they were a little surprised.
Luo Yunzhou and Xu Zeyi had filmed a movie last year, but it’s release had not been scheduled yet. Now that the two of them were in the same frame, the audience in the live-stream went crazy with screenshots.
Xu Zeyi was more out-going and greeted the other guests politely. “Hello, everyone. I’m Liao Jiake’s husband, Xu Zeyi.”
As they were all in the entertainment industry, they were relatively familiar with each other. Even if they had never been in the same frame or worked together before, they at least knew each other…
