After Zheng Tiansen paid the money and the ticket, the salesperson packed the ladies' watch for him.

After taking the watch, Zheng Tiansen put it back in the car before returning to find Linglong and the others.

Linglong didn't have much money on her, so she came here mainly to buy new cloth for Congcong to make clothes. But Aunt Tong, who hadn't been to the city for a long time, looked around and bought some things she needed.

Although there were many people in front of each counter, Zheng Tiansen was tall and had good eyesight, so he quickly found Aunt Tong and Linglong holding Congcong in the crowd.

As he walked over, he stretched out his hand. "Give me Congcong."

Linglong didn't act pretentiously and held Congcong to him.

Her arms get sore if she holds Congcong for a little longer now. This is because she often swings the spatula in the cafeteria, otherwise she would not be able to hold on.

Seeing that his hands were empty and he had nothing in them, Linglong felt a little strange.

"You didn't buy anything?"

Zheng Tiansen lied calmly, "I just looked at it, but didn't buy it."

"Oh." Linglong didn't think much about it.

After Aunt Tong finished shopping, Zheng Tiansen suggested that they go out for something to eat.

With Congcong in tow, they set out a little late in the morning, and the little breakfast they had was almost digested long ago.

If I wait until I get back to eat, I will be very hungry on the way.

When she heard about eating, Linglong was quite excited.

"Brother Zheng, besides the state-owned restaurant we went to last time, are there any other good places to eat?"

"Well, let me think about it."

"I remember there was another state-owned restaurant that was doing quite well."

It’s still a state-owned restaurant. Linglong was a little disappointed when she heard it, but it was normal after thinking about it. In the current environment, everything is state-owned.

"Then I'll go try that one." Even though they were all state-owned restaurants, she wanted to try another one to see if there was anything different.

Aunt Tong and Congcong had no objection to where to eat.

Since Linglong wants to go, Zheng Tiansen certainly won't refuse.

It was as if Young Lady Linglong had suddenly asked him for something, and he was quite happy.

This made him feel that Linglong was getting closer to him.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, they got on the bus and headed to the state-owned restaurant.

I have to say, there are really a lot of people eating at mealtime.

When they arrived, the place was completely full and there was no room left.

But they didn't just turn around and leave. After waiting for a few minutes, some people finished eating and left, so they hurried over to grab a seat.

Special dishes and staple foods are sold every day, which are written on the small blackboard.

Zheng Tiansen asked Linglong what she wanted to eat. Linglong ordered a bowl of noodles and a special dish.

Aunt Tong rarely ate at a state-owned restaurant, so she was a little afraid to speak after coming in.

When asked what she eats, she says the same as Linglong.

As for Congcong, he was too young, so Linglong didn't ask for his opinion. She planned to ask the waiter for an extra bowl and pick some noodles from her own bowl for Congcong.

None of them ordered much. After Zheng Tiansen ordered a bowl of noodles, he added two more dishes and a plate of the restaurant's specialty meat buns.

There are five buns on a plate, each as big as a fist.

Five buns were served first.

Linglong thought she still had some noodles to eat, so she picked up a bun and split it in half with Aunt Tong.

She originally didn't plan to give it to Congcong, but the little guy started drooling when he saw the meat bun in her hand.

"Mom, eat, Congcong, eat." He was so anxious that he started to pull her with his little hands.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

There was only half a steamed bun, and she gave the other half to Congcong.

Holding his own steamed bun, Congcong took big bites and enjoyed it so much.

"Linglong, there are still a few more here. If it's not enough, we can ask for more." Zheng Tiansen was helpless when he saw that Linglong only had a quarter of the bun left in her hand.

"Let's wait until I finish the noodles and I can still eat more. We can't waste it."

Zheng Tiansen didn't force her.

By the time she finished the buns in her hand, three bowls of noodles were served.

She asked for an extra bowl, picked some noodles for Congcong, poured some soup, and fed Congcong with chopsticks first.

After feeding Congcong half of the meal, several dishes were served on the table one after another.

Congcong ate some buns first, finished the noodles, drank two sips of soup, and then started burping.

Let him sit there and play by himself, and Linglong started to eat.

The noodles in her bowl were soaked for a while longer and were a little bloated, but they were still delicious. I can imagine how they tasted when they were first served, and they must have tasted even better.

As for the dishes, they all taste good.

After eating a bowl of noodles with vegetables, Linglong was already 80% full. If she had eaten a bun, she could have eaten another one, but she didn't want to eat too much, so she didn't take any more.

Aunt Tong had a good appetite. After finishing her noodles, she ate a bun.

The other three buns all went into Zheng Tiansen's stomach, and even with that, he was only half full.

He had to add another bowl of noodles before he was almost done.

Without waiting for Linglong and Aunt Tong to stand up, Zheng Tiansen rushed to pay the bill.

Aunt Tong tried to stuff money and tickets into his pocket several times but refused to give them to him.

"Auntie, if you keep doing this, I'll be angry. I'm a junior, can't I treat you to a meal?"

"Okay, okay." Aunt Tong then put the money and bills back into her handkerchief, wrapped it up, and then stuffed it into her inner pocket when no one was paying attention.

Linglong knew where the old lady had put the money, and was afraid that it would be lost when she went out, so she sewed a pocket on the front of her shorts and put the handkerchief containing the money and tickets in that pocket.

After eating and drinking, we came out of the state-owned restaurant.

Zheng Tiansen looked at Linglong. "Where else do you want to go?" He was hoping Linglong would make more requests.

Linglong shook her head and looked at Aunt Tong again. "Auntie, is there somewhere you want to go?"

"No, there's nowhere else to go in this city."

"There are so many options. You can go to the barber shop, go to the garden, and even go to the movies."

"Then shall we go to the garden?" Aunt Tong became curious.

She hasn't been to a place like Yuyuan yet.

Of course they had to satisfy the old man's small request.

It's a nice spring day, neither too hot nor too cold, just right for a trip to the park.

Perhaps because there were many people with the same idea, there were quite a few people when we arrived at the park.

There is also a soda stall in the corner of the garden. If you want to take the soda away, you have to pay a deposit for the bottle, and the money will be refunded when you return the bottle.

Of course, it’s not impossible to buy the bottle as well, but most people don’t want to spend that much money.

Zheng Tiansen didn't ask for their opinions, but went over and bought three bottles of soda. He drank one and gave one to Aunt Tong and Linglong.

As for Congcong, he was ignored because he was too young.

Orange soda, tastes sweet.

Linglong had met him once and thought he was okay, but Aunt Tong became sentimental after taking a few sips.

"Hey, I followed you guys, eating in restaurants, strolling through parks, and drinking soda. It really broadened my horizons."

Linglong couldn't help laughing. "If you want to come again in the future, we will bring you here."

She spoke from the bottom of her heart. She had no close relatives, and the mother and son of the Tong family were already her relatives. She also planned to treat Aunt Tong as her own elder and be filial to her.

Aunt Tong smiled happily.
