Several girls happily took the cat away.
Yan Heqing closed the door and continued reading.
This observation continued until the afternoon.
Yan Heqing finally put down his book, went into the kitchen to cook rice, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to buy groceries.
The small supermarket at the entrance of the residential area is now open.
Yan Heqing selected several tomatoes, some leafy greens, a bag of old-variety small potatoes that would be very soft and tender when cooked, with a strong potato flavor, and also picked out a piece of very good quality beef. He also took a box of mini blueberries and a bag of vacuum-packed fragrant mini pineapples.
As he passed the daily necessities section while checking out, Yan Heqing suddenly stopped, pondered for a few seconds, then turned around and walked a short distance further in, where he saw slippers.
Both men's and women's styles are available.
Yan Heqing carefully selected a pair of plain black men's slippers in the largest size.
Back home, Yan Heqing made a delicious clear beef hot pot.
He ate two bowls of rice, washed the bowls, cleaned the kitchen, studied until eleven o'clock, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After washing and drying my hair, I changed into my pajamas and weighed myself before bed.
I've finally gained weight.
121.

After finishing his work, Lu Lin returned to the Lu Family home after a long absence.
He didn't go back to his room; he went to his study.
It was called a study, but it was actually a small library with a very rich collection of books. He went straight to the innermost bookshelf, and with his superior height, he easily took down the complete set of comics from the top shelf.
Superhero.
This comic book was a reward from his grandmother for him getting first place in his entire grade in elementary school.
He later stopped liking to read comics, but he kept this particular comic book series.
There are 36 books in total.
After placing it in the prepared cardboard box, Lu Lin carried it out of the study.
I went downstairs to leave, and just as I changed my shoes, the door opened.
Lu Muchi was helping Lu Changcheng. Lu Muchi was making up jokes to make people laugh when he suddenly bumped into Lu Lin. Lu Muchi immediately stopped laughing and respectfully greeted, "Hello, Uncle."
Lu Changcheng snorted when he saw Lu Lin.
Lu Han lagged a few steps behind and entered the house. Seeing Lu Lin there, he immediately put on a smile, " A-Lin's here too? That's even better! Why don't you stay tonight? We're having dinner tomorrow."
Lu Changcheng retorted sarcastically, "He's so busy, he wouldn't have time."
Lu Han stepped forward and grabbed Lu Lin, saying with a smile, "Dad's been discharged from the hospital. Even if you're busy, A-Lin, you have to make time for the celebratory dinner."
Lu Muchi only just found out he was hosting a dinner party tomorrow. "Who are you inviting?"
Lu Han picked through the list, saying, "Some family friends, oh, and the Lin Family too. Aren't you on good terms with their youngest son?"
At this moment, Lu Lin spoke up, "What time tomorrow?"
Chapter 57
Yan Heqing learned about Lu Changcheng's upcoming banquet through his WeChat Moments.
Knowing that Lu Lin would be attending, Lin Fengzhi excited that he posted more than a dozen updates on his WeChat Moments.
This development occurred three years earlier than the original text.
Lu Changcheng invited the Lin Family to a banquet with the intention of first giving Lin Fengzhi a warning and announcing Lu Muchi's engagement.
This was an unexpected bonus for Yan Heqing Hospital.
Lu Muchi left the hospital for a day and a night, Lu Changcheng mistakenly thought he was going to see Lin Fengzhi, so he arranged this dinner party.
Yan Heqing stood against the wall, and after 15 minutes, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After washing his face in the bathroom, Yan Heqing went back to bed to rest.
He first booked a car to Songxian Vegetable Market at 3:10 pm, and then set his alarm for 3:00 pm, two hours earlier than his usual routine.
Yan Heqing was already awake before the 3 a. m. alarm went off.
He finished washing up before the alarm clock went off.
Yan Heqing didn't cook breakfast; she changed her clothes and went out.
The car arrived a few minutes early, and Yan Heqing also came downstairs a few minutes early, so they set off a few minutes early as well.
Seeing that Yan Heqing didn't look like someone buying or selling vegetables, the driver started a conversation while driving, "Young man, going to the wholesale market so early?"
Yan Heqing replied politely, "I have work to do."
The driver suddenly realized, "I see, he's helping with chores at home." He exclaimed, "So early in the morning, how filial!"
Yan Heqing smiled faintly and didn't reply.
Songxian Vegetable Market.
The place where the Lu Family's chef buys groceries.
Lu Changcheng's meals consist of ten dishes, and they cannot be repeated unless he specifies the dishes.
Only the tenderest pieces of vegetables are used; usually, only one or two ounces are used from several pounds of vegetables. The same applies to meat; even the tenderest tenderloin is only used for seasoning, with only one or two of the tenderest pieces selected.
It must also be fresh on the same day.
The Lu Family has a vegetable garden in the suburbs, but it cannot meet Lu Changcheng's high demands. Every morning, the Lu Family's head chef personally goes to Songxian Vegetable Market to buy the day's ingredients.
Especially since Lu Changcheng is hosting a banquet, the ingredients he needs today will require at least several truckloads to be sent to the Lu Family.
There were very few cars on the road in the early morning, and the driver drove fast, arriving at Songxian Vegetable Market more than 40 minutes ahead of schedule.
Although it was still dark, the Songxian Vegetable Market was already bustling with activity.
Truckloads of fresh vegetables from all over the country were delivered to the market.
Nowadays, apart from some small vegetable vendors, most of those who come to wholesale vegetables are vegetable buyers from major hotels and restaurants.
Yan Heqing paid the fare, got out of the car but didn't go into the market, instead went to the delivery station next door.
Large quantities of vegetables are delivered by vehicles arranged by the delivery department.
The delivery shop owner was a woman in her early thirties, and she was arranging orders at the cashier.
"Hello."
A clear and crisp tone.
The woman looked up and saw a smiling young man. She asked in surprise, "What is it?"
"Are you hiring temporary workers?" Yan Heqing asked politely.
They're hiring, but there's a severe labor shortage during the Chinese New Year period. Even with triple pay, they can't find anyone. Yesterday, she even did it herself, helping to load and unload goods from the truck, working herself to exhaustion, but...
The woman looked at Yan Heqing's fair and clear skin and his Qingqing demeanor.
You must be a college student!
Can you do this kind of physical labor?
A basket of potatoes and a bag of cabbage weigh at least 100 pounds.
Yan Heqing smiled gently, "Please try it out first. If you're not satisfied, I won't charge you."
