Chapter 403 Night Market
The afterglow of the setting sun fell gently like a golden veil, dyeing the earth with a warm and soft tone.
As soon as Ling Yao walked out of the hospital gate, she saw a tall and straight figure, with a brilliant smile on her red lips, walking towards her.
When Lu Qingyun saw Ling Yao, he curled his thin lips and looked at the person walking towards him, his deep eyes full of doting and tenderness.
"Why are you here?" Ling Yao walked in front of Lu Qingyun.
Lu Qingyun stretched out his big hand and held Ling Yao's soft little hand, "I just have time today, I want to take you out for a walk." After coming to Sichuan City, he has been busy and rarely has time to accompany Yaoyao. Yaoyao will be going back to Beijing in two days, and he wants to spend these two days with her.
"Okay, where shall we go?" Lingyao's eyes sparkled with joy, and she and Lu Qingyun walked towards the car not far away.
"You'll know when we get there." Lu Qingyun said mysteriously.
Lingyao glanced at him coquettishly.
Walking to the car, Lu Qingyun opened the door and let Lingyao get in.
After Lingyao sat down, he closed the door and walked to the other side, opened the door and got in.
The car started slowly, drove away, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.
After driving for about an hour, Lu Qingyun finally stopped the car.
It was completely dark at this time, but the town in front of them was brightly lit, crowded with people, and full of the smell of fireworks.
Ling Yao looked out the window at the scene outside, "This town is so lively!" She didn't expect that Sichuan City at night would be so lively.
Lu Qingyun smiled, "This is Furong Town. There is a night market here every night, and the night market will last until one or two in the morning."
The reason why he knew this place was that he had asked his colleagues in the army before. He hoped to find a place suitable for taking Ling Yao to let her experience a different atmosphere and fun.
After getting off the car, Lu Qingyun took Ling Yao's hand and walked around the town with her.
Most of the people who came to visit the town were young people. There were hawking voices everywhere. Some were buying all kinds of snacks, and some were buying small accessories, clothes, shoes... There was a wide variety of goods.
Lu Qingyun stopped and bought a string of candied haws and handed it to Ling Yao.
Ling Yao took the candied haws with a smile, took a bite, smiled happily, and pulled Lu Qingyun to the stall in front.
The two held hands and strolled leisurely in the town.
Soon, Lu Qingyun's hands were full of all kinds of cute little things.
Lu Qingyun saw a wonton stall in front of him, and turned to ask Ling Yao, "Yaoyao, do you want to eat wontons?"
Ling Yao was holding two hand drums in her hands. She shook them gently, and the hand drums made a series of clear and pleasant sounds.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyun smiled fondly.
Hearing what Lu Qingyun said, Ling Yao nodded, "Okay."
She stopped what she was doing and handed the two hand drums to the boss, "Boss, how much is this hand drum?"
The boss looked at Ling Yao with a smile, "One yuan each."
Ling Yao nodded, took out two yuan from her pocket and handed it to the stall owner, then walked towards the wonton stall with Lu Qingyun. These small toys were all bought by her specially to give to her two younger brothers and sisters at home. She hasn't seen them for a long time, and she really missed the two little guys in her heart.
When she left last time, they were already able to recognize people. I wonder if they will still recognize her when she goes back this time?
When they arrived at the wonton stall, they saw that the owner was a middle-aged couple who were busy cooking wontons.
The aroma of wontons filled the air, making people salivate.
Lu Qingyun looked around and found that there was still an empty seat. He took Ling Yao's hand and walked over.
As soon as the two sat down, a little girl with two braids and a pretty face came over.
"Two brothers and sisters, what do you want to eat? We have wontons and tofu pudding here. We make the tofu pudding ourselves and it tastes delicious." The little girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, making people feel particularly cordial.
Lu Qingyun looked at Ling Yao inquiringly.
"Then let's have a bowl of wontons and a bowl of tofu pudding." Ling Yao said.
"Okay." The little girl responded with a smile, walked towards the middle-aged couple, and told them what Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun needed.
The middle-aged man nodded, counted ten wontons, and put them into the pot to cook.
The middle-aged woman took a large bowl and scooped the tofu pudding from it.
After waiting for a while, the little girl came to Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun with a bowl of tofu pudding, "Brother! Sister! This is your tofu pudding. The wontons will take a while to cook. There are seasonings on the table. You can add them yourself."
"Okay." Ling Yao smiled and nodded, reached out to take the chili oil on the side, and poured some into the bowl. The aroma of the chili oil mixed with the aroma of the tofu pudding dissipated.
Ling Yao picked up the spoon and gently stirred the tofu pudding in the bowl, watching it gradually become more delicate and smooth.
She scooped up a spoonful of tofu pudding and put it into her mouth, feeling the tender and smooth touch and the rich bean fragrance. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's really delicious, you should try it too."
Ling Yao said, scooped up a spoonful of tofu pudding and handed it to Lu Qingyun's mouth.
Lu Qingyun took a look at the tofu pudding in front of him, then looked at Ling Yao's expectant eyes, smiled and opened his mouth.
When the tofu pudding touched the tip of his tongue, a fresh taste instantly spread in his mouth. The delicate taste of the tofu pudding and the slightly spicy stimulation of the chili intertwined together, giving people a feeling of endless aftertaste.
Lu Qingyun was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the tofu pudding to be more delicious than he imagined. He is not picky about food, but he avoids soy products, as he always feels that they have an unpleasant bean smell.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Ling Yao looked at Lu Qingyun with a smile. She knew that Lu Qingyun did not eat soy products, so she ordered a bowl just now.
Lu Qingyun nodded, "Not bad." This tofu pudding did not have the bean smell that he hated.
"Then have another bite." Ling Yao scooped another spoonful and passed it to Lu Qingyun's mouth.
"Okay." Lu Qingyun opened his mouth and ate the tofu pudding.
The two smiled at each other, full of sweetness.
The night gradually deepened, and soon it was dawn. The number of people on the street gradually decreased, and the stall owners began to organize their things and put away their stalls.
After a busy night, although they were very tired, they were very satisfied with the harvest.
Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun strolled on the streets of the town, enjoying the rare quiet time.
The night breeze blew gently, bringing a cool feeling and making people feel happy.
When they returned to the family compound, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
The whole family compound was quiet, with only a few street lights emitting faint light. Occasionally, a few patrolling soldiers walked by, and the footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night.
Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao walked hand in hand back to their courtyard.
The moonlight fell on them, creating a beautiful scene. Their figures looked particularly warm in the night, as if the whole world belonged to only the two of them.
