Chapter 189 Buy, buy, buy! 】
She did not stop or spoil the fun when they went to buy things. Lu Jinghe nodded silently in support of whatever they bought.
If you have money, just buy it. You really have money. What's more, the things you buy are practical and real, and they won't be wasted.
Looking at the more and more things piled up on the cart, she smiled and shrugged. Anyway, she didn't have to push the cart.
In fact, she was also greedy. When she thought of Lu Jinghe's good cooking skills, Qin Yian pointed at the peppers and various spices inside when passing by the door of the grocery store.
"Buy some more spices, some dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. Since we're already making mutton hotpot, let's make another spicy hotpot. Winter is coming, and we need to eat something hot."
"Okay."
Lu Jinghe put down the cart he was pushing and went in to pick out a lot of seasonings and spices that could be used in the kitchen.
Thinking that Qin Yian wanted to eat spicy hotpot, he went to buy more vegetables of different kinds and also bought a piece of beef. He
also went to buy two pig's trotters, saying that he would go back and make her cold pig's trotters, which were especially delicious.
Qin Yian's mouth became even more greedy after hearing this, and she kept buying more!
Every time he bought a dish, Lu Jinghe said what dish he would make for her, such as four-happiness meatballs, chopped pepper fish head, chestnut roast chicken, etc.
In fact, she was a foodie, so she had no reason left, and could not stand the temptation. She bought everything and cooked everything!
Money and bills were spent like water, all paid by Lu Jinghe. As soon as she made a move to take out money, she was pushed back. Qin Yian was really worried that this meal would empty all the money and bills in his pocket. After
leaving the farmers' market, Qin Yian took out her wallet and wanted to take out some pocket money for him.
But Lu Jinghe seemed to know what she was thinking, and said that he really had a lot of money and bills in his pocket, and even opened his wallet for her to see. He
whispered to her,
"I work part-time as a truck driver for a department store. I pick up whatever I want on the road and sell it to other people. I don't have to worry about anything but collecting money and receipts. I've driven five trucks this month and made a lot of money. I keep all of it for this good day today."
Qin Yian poked his head out to look, and his eyes widened. My goodness, there are more bills in this pocket than in her bag, large and neatly stacked large bundles, and a thick stack of colorful bills. Well, even if I give her the deposit, she's still a big spender.
Why does she need pocket money?
Then give her something else in return.
Qin Yian pulled up his bag, took out two martial arts secret books he had compiled from his own space and handed them over, saying, "Be careful. I compiled one book of boxing and one of kicking. Practice more. I will teach you the book after I learn the one given to me by the public security comrade."
"Okay."
After hearing this, Lu Jinghe rubbed the words on the cover of the two books. He felt happier than holding a bunch of money, and happier than anything else.
His smile was even brighter than the sun in the sky.
So easy to satisfy, so easy to keep!
"Okay, put them away quickly. Let's put all these things into sacks. We should be able to take them away with our two bicycles. Come, let's try it first."
Qin Yian took out two empty sacks and two hemp ropes and handed them to him. She went to pull out the bicycles parked in the shed beside her.
There were six sacks of things, and three sacks were stacked on the back seat of a bicycle. Winter clothes were not heavy to begin with, and they were just thrown around. Once tied with ropes, they fit perfectly. They were not too heavy to ride, and they could be ridden very fast.
After Lu Jinghe returned the bus, he said, "Let's not go back yet. Let's go to the house where I lived in my childhood first. I'll go get some things."
"Okay."
She had never been to Lu Jinghe's house. He said that this was the house where he lived when he was a child.
"This courtyard is the first house you helped me get from Lu Jianlin. I cleaned it up. When I have nothing to do, I come here to sit. Sometimes I come here to light the stove. The environment inside is not bad."
After entering, Lu Jinghe told her the stories of his childhood there one by one.
Looking at the places and listening to what happened, she seemed to see with her own eyes the scene of the little Lu Jinghe sitting in those places and playing. She understood Lu Jinghe better and had an inexplicable sense of participation.
Lu Jinghe took her to a big peach tree in the backyard and stopped. He touched the trunk of the peach tree, and his eyes were filled with distance, nostalgia, warmth, and a little tears.
There must be some good memories, Qin Yian thought.
Sure enough, he said slowly:
"This peach tree has been planted here for twenty years. My mother and I planted it on my first birthday. My grandmother told me that it was my mother who dug the hole for the tree. I held the peach tree, and then saw my mother burying the soil. I happily jumped down, used my hands and feet to dig the mud in the hole and bury it, and planted this peach tree together."
Lu Jinghe looked at Qin Yian and smiled:
"At the same time, my mother also buried two jars of peach wine under the tree, saying that she was waiting for me to dig it out and drink it when I grew up and got married. Today we will dig out a jar and take it over to drink."
"Wow, your mother is so romantic. She even saved wine for you. Where is it? I'm so curious." Qin Yian curiously walked around the tree, looking for a place to bury the wine.
Lu Jinghe took her hand, squatted down five meters away from the southeast corner of the peach tree, and knocked with a hoe: "It should be here. Do you see this big stone slab on the ground? This is the mark." "
Then let's start digging." Qin Yian went to find a steel pry and was eager to pry the stone.
"I'll do it. You don't know the exact location, just stand by and watch."
Lu Jinghe took the steel pry and pried the stone slab.
Qin Yian listened to him and stood by with a hoe, watching curiously: "Do you think the wine buried underground for twenty years will go bad?"
Lu Jinghe smiled gently and shook his head: "No, it is well sealed and rainproof. The winemaker was a master winemaker at the time. It is considered a top-grade wine. After being stored for twenty years, it will only become more mellow and delicious. It should be especially delicious. The most important thing is that peach blossom wine is good for beauty and health."
"Then I must have a good taste." Qin Yian leaned against the big peach tree behind her, looking at the many small saplings growing under the sturdy peach tree, and then asked: "Have you eaten the fruit of this peach tree? Is it delicious? I see a lot of saplings growing here, and I want to dig a few and plant them back, and plant one in the yard of all the properties I own."
The key is that she wants to plant a tree in the space, and if she is going to plant anything, she wants to plant delicious peaches.
Lu Jinghe carefully dug the wine while answering:
"Two peaches grew on it the second year after planting. They were big and red. I still can't forget the taste of the honey peaches. It was so sweet that it touched my heart. Unfortunately, I only ate it once and never ate it again."
"If you want to plant it, we can dig it. The taste should be good. Next year, we will come and taste the fruits of this old peach tree. If it doesn't taste good, we will pull out the tree we planted this time and find delicious peaches to plant. Find the kind of saplings that have grown for three years. We can eat them the same year we plant them."
Lu Jinghe had already seen the wine and squatted down to dig with his hands.
