Yunyin and her mother went shopping together, carrying large and small bags. When they got tired, they decided to go to the food street to get something to eat.

As soon as they reached the street corner, the two smelled the spicy aroma of barbecue.

"It smells so good! Let's go see what delicious food it is." Yun's mother took a big sip.

"Hey, Mom, slow down!" Yunyin urged, trying to catch up from behind.

Yun's mother followed the scent all the way here.

She discovered it was a small barbecue stall, surrounded by a crowd. She was a little hesitant, as she had never tried a roadside stall before, and there were so many people around.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Yunyin arrived.

"Hey, isn't that Liu Yihang?" Yunyin spotted Liu Yihang standing next to the barbecue grill.

"Your classmate?" Yun's mother's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's Liu Yihang, who scored two points higher than me on the college entrance exam. He also got into Tianzhou University," Yunyin said somewhat shyly.

"What a coincidence! Since we're your classmates, it shouldn't be a problem for us to cut in line, right?" Yun's mother clapped her hands.

"Mom, no way, this is too embarrassing. If you want to eat, let's line up." Yunyin shook her head frantically in refusal.

"What does it matter? Please, my dear daughter, Mommy really wants to eat some barbecue skewers."

There are so many people here, the line will take a long time. Why don't you go and chat with your classmate, then we won't have to wait in line! Please, please." Yun's mother looked at her daughter pitifully with her hands clasped together.

"You've really defeated me!" Yunyin walked over with a look of utter despair.

Perhaps it was because of the natural aura of a beautiful woman that when Yunyin walked by, the crowd automatically made way for her, as if even squeezing into her would be a desecration.

Liu Yihang picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his head.

The next moment, Yunyin suddenly appeared, wearing a pink dress that made her even more beautiful than the flowers.

The key point is that she was looking at him with a beaming smile.

"Liu Yihang, are you working here?" Yunyin assumed he was working a summer job to earn money.

Liu Yihang grinned and replied loudly, "No, this is my family's stall. Today is the first day we're open. Order whatever you want, it's on me!"

Yun's mother, who had followed, immediately seized the opportunity: "You're Yinyin's classmate? What a handsome young man! You don't need to treat us. Running a business isn't easy for you. Auntie has money. Just help us serve faster."

After saying that, she quickly ordered a bunch of the grilled skewers she wanted.

Yunyin gave Liu Yihang a helpless look.

Liu Yihang, on the other hand, thought Yunyin's mother was quite interesting.

This was the first time Lin Guihua had met Liu Yihang's high school classmate, and such a beautiful young girl at that, she was a sight to behold.

He immediately went forward to greet the two.

When Liu Yihang goes home, he rarely talks about school or his classmates.

During his school years, Liu Yihang was very self-conscious and withdrawn, and had few friends, all because he was poor.

Who would want to be friends with someone who hides in the classroom every day eating pickled vegetables and steamed buns?

It's good enough that they don't discriminate against you.

Yunyin did extend a helping hand to him, but he pushed it away.

She is a white cloud in the sky, and he is mud on the ground; they are destined never to cross paths.

"Is she Hanghang's classmate? She's a very pretty girl."

"Come and sit down, there are two seats left." Lin's mother quickly made room for the mother and daughter at the seats she had just vacated.

The mother and daughter quickly came over and sat down.

Yunyin and her classmates had eaten at roadside stalls many times, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It was Yun's mother's first time eating at a roadside stall, and she looked around with great curiosity.

Although she was a little unaccustomed to it, she did not show any discomfort or disgust, which is basic good manners.

Lin Ma could tell from her attire that she must be a pampered lady who rarely frequented roadside stalls.

The two women sat down at the stall, and instantly, just like what their son had described, that... something about Peng Hui.

Liu Yihang naturally ordered the skewers that the mother and daughter had ordered to be grilled quickly.

He then paid out of his own pocket to have Liu Xiangdong buy a bottle of soda for each of them at the Friendship Supermarket across the street.

Barbecue with soda is also a good option.

The two finally got to eat barbecue, and Yun's mother exclaimed how delicious it was after taking a bite.

"Yinyin, your classmate's cooking skills are amazing."

Yunyin said with pride, "Of course, his fried rice is also very delicious."

The two of them finished off the skewers they ordered while drinking soda.

Yun's mother, still savoring the moment, touched her belly and said, "Let's come again tomorrow! Let's invite your dad too."

When the two finished eating and went to pay, Lin Guihua refused to accept the money. She was joking, because her son had repeatedly told her not to accept money, and she couldn't go against his wishes.

The two refused three or four times, but Yun's mother was unable to hand over the fifty yuan note in her hand.

"Liu Yihang, I'm leaving now, goodbye!" Yunyin said goodbye to Liu Yihang earnestly.

"Yunyin, take care, come again another day!" Liu Yihang took a moment from his busy schedule to wave goodbye to her.

After the two left, the business flourished even more.

The night market was busy until 10 p.m., when it was just beginning to close.

The number of people walking around the food street is gradually decreasing.

Liu Yihang's family was also preparing to pack up and close their stall.

So far, only a few skewers of vegetables are left; all the other meat and vegetable dishes are sold out.

Meat dishes were the first to sell out; they hadn't prepared enough, especially pork belly, which was the most popular.

The two boxes of sausages were mostly consumed by the children.

Liu Yihang was exhausted. Lin's mother felt sorry for her son, who had been grilling skewers all night without taking a break.

On the way back, Liu Xiangdong rode a tricycle behind, while Liu Yihang rode a bicycle with Lin Guihua in front to scout the way. Near the construction site, there was a section of road without streetlights, and Lin Guihua used a flashlight to illuminate the way for the two of them.

Although life is tough for the family, they are happy and have hope for the future.

"Son, do you like that girl?" Lin Guihua suddenly asked.

Liu Yihang slipped, feeling a little embarrassed that his mother had so openly revealed his secret thoughts.

"No, that's not true..." He's not good enough for her yet, so he doesn't dare to mention liking her.

"Really? Then why are you being so attentive? You saw that young girl and you were grinning so hard you were showing your teeth, and you were pretending not to know what you were doing to your mother."

I've known your dad since I was a teenager, how could I not know your little schemes?

I bet this girl comes from a very well-off family; our family probably isn't good enough for her."

Lin Guihua said truthfully.

Everyone has had crushes in their youth, but it depends on the circumstances. The old folks have a point about marrying someone of equal social standing.

"..." Liu Yihang fell silent for a moment. He knew that he was not even worthy of saying he liked her. The two of them were worlds apart.

But if he works hard enough, what if one day he becomes worthy of her?

Seeing that her son remained silent, Lin Guihua was afraid that her words would hurt him.

He added through gritted teeth, "Let's try our best. Mom and Dad work hard to earn money, and you study hard. Maybe a beautiful swan will take a liking to you, this toad?"

Liu Yihang burst out laughing at Lin Guihua's words.

"Mom, if you can't speak properly, then don't bother. You're wasting your breath."
