◎Live in the Book◎

At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the aroma of rice wafted from the red brick and green tile residential building.

The family members who originally lived here prepared their daily lunch in the corridor in front of their own simple stoves.

Amid the aroma of the crackling stir-fry, there is a particularly different taste.

Whose rice is burnt?

"Is Xiaoxu's mom home? Is Xiaoxu's mom home?"

An older sister shouted several times at the door of a room, but no one answered. She looked anxious and glanced at the pot bubbling with steam on the stove, and saw a burnt smell.

She called out twice more, but still no one answered.

"Oh my, whose rice is burnt? Is the bottom of the pot going to be burned through?"

She didn't even bother to call for help. She just fetched two rags from the stove, folded them up and placed them over the edge of the pot, then took the pot, which was apparently burnt dry, off the stove. Then she squatted down and poked the stove a few times with the tongs to prevent the fire from burning too strong when there was nothing on the stove, wasting coal.

After finishing the pot, Sister Zhao was still worried, so she knocked on Xu Mengxue's door and called out a few times, "Xiao Xu's mom?"

Xu Mengxue woke up from her dream in a sweat, feeling groggy, when she heard someone calling her. She threw on a piece of clothing, got out of bed in a hurry, opened the door and saw that it was Sister Zhao, who had a good relationship with her family. She was still a little dazed.

Sister Zhao: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Xu Mengxue waved her hands: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare and was scared. What's wrong, Sister Zhao?"

Sister Zhao pointed at the stove, and Xu Mengxue saw the bottom of the pot was burnt black and almost burned through.

Sister Zhao: "Your rice is burnt. I called for help but no one answered, so I brought it down. Xiaoxu will be finishing school soon, so you probably won't be able to make new food in time. Why don't you come to my house and eat something?"

Just as Xu Mengxue was about to say "No, thank you", a voice interrupted: "Hey Xu Mengxue, it turns out that your rice is burnt and the bottom of the pot is burnt through? You need to buy a new pot, what a waste."

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was the famous guy in the building.

Qiajianer: "Hey, you said you were cooking and you went to sleep without anyone else, and you just left the pot here. It's okay if it's just your own pot, but if it burns the whole building, that's going to be terrible! Don't you think so, Sister Zhao?"

Sister Zhao was impatient with her bullying: "Neighbors, if you see this, help. Anyone with a conscience would not just stand there and watch the building burn down."

Pinch the tip and choke.

She was really annoyed with this Sister Zhao, who always tried to flatter Xu Mengxue.

Isn’t Xu Mengxue just pretty and works in a department store? Is she still missing out on the iron rice bowl in the residential building?

Doesn’t Xu Mengxue ever look haggard?

Besides, she's not bad.

Thinking of this, she lifted her newly curled hair, calmly showing off her fashionable and beautiful hair.
