“The two of them are cooking?”

Meng Xi looked at the two people who rushed into the kitchen in surprise. If she remembered correctly, neither of them knew how to cook. Why did they rush back in such a hurry? Was it to blow up the kitchen?

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, they had come back first. The two of them ran in without informing.

Yu Su frowned and did not reply. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not explain it clearly.

“Hey, we came back first. We should be the ones using the kitchen first.” Seeing that Yu Su did not speak, Meng Xi shouted directly at the kitchen.

Not long after, she saw Yu Miao walk out and look at the two of them apologetically. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you guys wanted to use the kitchen too. However, we didn’t eat much in the morning, so let us go first.”

“Why are you wasting your breath on them? Who knew that they would come back to cook? First come, first served. It has to be someone who arrived in the kitchen first, right?” Shen Chun came out of the kitchen and said sharply.

This was what she and Yu Miao had discussed on the way. The kitchen could not be given to them at the start. They had to let Yu Su and the others beg them. After that, they could reluctantly say that they could cook first. However, as they were really too hungry, the two others would agree to cooking all the ingredients together.

The plan was a good plan, but whether it succeeded or not depended on whether the fish took the bait.

“Are you two joking? The two of us were walking in front of you with a pile of vegetables. Even a fool can tell that we’re coming back to prepare lunch, right?” Meng Xi felt that the other party was trying to twist logic.

“You didn’t tell us that you were coming back to make lunch. I thought you were just bringing these back. Anyway, we entered the kitchen first, so the right to use the kitchen should belong to us.”

Shen Chun’s attitude was domineering. It was as if she was saying, “We’ll go back on our word. What can you do if we don’t give it to you?”

As an understanding little angel, Yu Miao definitely had to speak up at this moment to ease the atmosphere. “Don’t be anxious. We’ll be fast.”

Meng Xi looked at Yu Su anxiously. How could they let Yu Miao and the others use the kitchen first? Should the two of them wait here or return to the field to help?

If they didn’t go back, the two boys would still be working hard even though they hadn’t eaten. They wouldn’t be able to stay for long there before coming back. For a moment, they were in a dilemma.

Yu Su looked at the two people standing at the kitchen door. How could the two of them have any intention of preparing lunch? She vaguely had an idea in her heart.

“Then you guys can use it first. We’ll wait for a while. It’s not very urgent.”

According to Yu Miao’s understanding of Yu Su, as long as there was a chance to compete with her, no matter if it was her parents’ attention or a kitchen in the small village, she would definitely not let it go.

Yu Miao did not expect Yu Su to relent so easily. For a moment, she actually could not reply.

She and Shen Chun couldn’t really cook, could they? They would burn down the entire kitchen.

“Ahem, it’s not impossible to let you guys do it first.” Shen Chun was obviously stunned, but she still braced himself and pushed the plan forward.

“Oh? Then what should we do?” Yu Su pulled the extremely anxious Meng Xi to sit on the stone bench and propped her chin on her hands as she asked Shen Chun seriously.

Since she liked acting, Yu Su would not be stingy to continue acting with her.

“I can tell that you’re also in a hurry to use the kitchen. We’re also in a hurry. After all, we have a number of tasks to complete today. Why don’t we do it together? After we’re done, we’ll split it equally. This way, we won’t care who comes first.”

Yu Su sneered. It turned out that they had been waiting for her here with their baits. She had just seen the two of them carrying a small bag of rice and a handful of garlic back. They actually wanted to split it equally with them, and they even wanted her to cook.

“Your suggestion is very good. It’s not impossible. How about this? We’ll contribute the pork belly. This is the only meat we have for lunch. I’ll have to trouble you to make it.” Yu Su had a sincere expression on her face as she really began to rummage through the bag on her side.

“Yu Su, you are only contributing a small piece of pork belly with the number of ingredients you have?” Shen Chun’s voice was so sharp that it had changed pitch.

Yu Su nodded. “Of course. If you guys contribute garlic, we’ll contribute meat. Instead, you guys will be the ones earning an advantage.”
