Song Jingchuan watched Cheng Xiaokui ride away on her tricycle.
The night breeze carried a slight chill.
A jeep sped back and came to a stop in front of Song Jingchuan.
Jiang Bin opened the car door and jumped out. He grabbed Song Jingchuan and ran towards the restaurant, shouting, "Is the food cold? Let their chef heat it up for us!"
Du Ziqiang followed, saying, "I'm starving! That kid Wu Jianguo is so bad at playing around! I can't go crazy with him next time, or I'll miss out on eating bear paws!"
Song Jingchuan grabbed Jiang Bin's arm and said, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Bin said, "Let's go to the restaurant! Hurry up and go in, or the restaurant will close!"
Song Jingchuan said, "The restaurant is about to close, and it won't do you any good by going in; all the food is gone!"
Jiang Bin's face twitched violently. He said, "What? All the food is gone? How could the food I ordered be gone?!"
"We're here, aren't we? You're here, aren't you? They should have brought you the food!"
Song Jingchuan said, "It's here, and we've eaten it all!"
Du Ziqiang stared at Song Jingchuan like a monster and asked, "What? You ate it all? Are you a mythical creature? You can eat so many dishes?"
Jiang Bin said, "No way, there's even bear paw that I specially ordered! Those bear paws are really hard to come by! If it weren't for my dad's connections, they wouldn't have reserved any for me!"
Song Jingchuan said, "The bear paw was delicious. Cheng Xiaokui and I ate half of it, and we took the rest with us."
Du Ziqiang's eyes widened to their maximum. "What did you say? You took all the bear paws with Cheng Xiaokui?"
Song Jingchuan said, "She took not only the bear paws, but also the rest of the food, about half a pot."
She brought home enough for her whole family to eat two meals! Oh, and she said the bear paws were delicious!
Jiang Bin's lips twitched violently. "What the hell? You gave all the food we ordered to Cheng Xiao Kui?"
"You can invite her to dinner, but don't give her all the food. What about us? Don't we eat too?"
Song Jingchuan said, "Go home and eat! Are you worried that your mom didn't leave you any food?"
Besides, you guys smashed up their stall today, so you shouldn't apologize to them, especially that bastard Wu Jianguo!
Bring him here tomorrow, and I'll personally witness him apologize to Cheng Xiao Kui! Make him bring 100 yuan to compensate Cheng Xiao Kui!
Du Ziqiang scratched the back of his head, his mind not quite processing what was happening.
What does this mean?
Why does it feel like Song Jingchuan is on Cheng Xiao Kui's side?
He said, "Is Cheng Xiaokui's stuff worth 100 yuan? Is it that expensive?"
Song Jingchuan said, "The items weren't that expensive. Shouldn't we be fined for smashing someone's stall? This 100 yuan is the fine."
The meal I treated Cheng Xiao Kui to was my way of making amends. So, let's call it even!
He walked toward his jeep with his hands behind his back.
Du Ziqiang shouted at Song Jingchuan's retreating figure, "Young Master Song, you can't do it like that! You're using the food Jiang Bin and I ordered to treat us?!"
Song Jingchuan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said, "Who smashed Cheng Xiaokui's stall? Of course you have to pay for it!"
He opened the car door, got into the jeep, and drove off.
Du Ziqiang and Jiang Bin stood bewildered in the wind.
Make them pay for whatever they have to pay for. The point is, they weren't the ones who ruined the business!
Du Ziqiang said, "Jiang Bin, I feel like there's something wrong with this calculation? It seems like I'm the one who got the short end of the stick!"
Jiang Bin punched Du Ziqiang on the shoulder and said, "Does this even need to be calculated? Even a fool would know we're at a disadvantage!"
"We didn't smash the stall, we provided the food, and Young Master Song is the one playing the good guy! Damn it! We're the ones who ate it!"
No matter how he calculated it, he felt it wasn't worth it!
I've been completely screwed over by Song Jingchuan!
Du Ziqiang said, "No way! I'm making Song Jingchuan bring the meal back! He's unbelievable. For a girl, he doesn't even care about our brotherhood!"
Jiang Bin ran his fingers lightly across his chin and said, "But this girl... is Si Muyang's ex-wife! The one rumored to be a vicious and shrewish woman..."
He and Du Ziqiang exchanged a glance; something was amiss here!
With his hands on his hips, Du Ziqiang said, "This can't end here! I'm going to settle accounts with Song Jingchuan tomorrow!"
Jiang Bin said, "He wants the two of us to take Wu Jianguo to apologize to Cheng Xiaokui tomorrow! You should think about what to do about this first."
Wu Jianguo hates Cheng Xiao Kui to death! Even if you knock him unconscious, he wouldn't apologize to Cheng Xiao Kui!
Du Ziqiang's eyes darted around, and he said, "Ouch, my stomach hurts! I have to go! If I don't leave now, I'll have diarrhea on the way. Maybe I ate something bad at lunch, Du Zi."
"It probably won't be better anytime soon. Tomorrow, take Wu Jianguo to apologize to Cheng Xiaokui!"
He opened the jeep door, got in, and drove off.
When Jiang Bin came to his senses, he saw the jeep drive away in front of him.
He took two steps forward and shouted, "Du Ziqiang, you bastard! You have diarrhea? Did you eat something bad at noon? You're only getting diarrhea now?"
You coward! You don't dare go to Wu Jianguo, so what's with this talk of diarrhea?!
You don't dare go and confront Wu Jianguo, but I do?! You bastard! If you don't go, what am I supposed to do?!
He put his hands on his hips, spun around in place, and then rolled his eyes.
If Du Ziqiang can get diarrhea, does that mean he can't?
I got sick from eating at home tonight, so I can't go!
That's a perfectly valid reason!
If Song Jingchuan wants to appear nice in front of Cheng Xiaokui, he should go and apologize to Wu Jianguo himself.
He glanced at his watch; it was still time to catch the last bus.
He hurriedly ran towards the bus stop.
There were no taxis back then; if you missed the last bus, there were no more buses!
Cheng Xiaokui held a flashlight in one hand and the handlebars of the tricycle in the other, pedaling the tricycle home.
Hearing the knocking, Cheng Qiuqiu quickly ran to open the door.
She grabbed her sister's arm and said, "Sis, you're finally back! You scared me to death!"
I waited and waited at home for you, but you didn't come back. Your mother-in-law and I even went out to look for you twice!
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Don't even mention it. Today, my stall was smashed by Wu Jianguo. His good brother, Song Jingchuan, who is also the doctor who treated his brother, treated me to a meal at a restaurant to make up for it."
We still have a lot of food left over. Have you and Mom eaten it?
If you haven't eaten yet, hurry up and heat up the food. I guarantee they're all dishes you've never tried before!
She pushed the tricycle into the yard and took out the large pot containing vegetables.
It was a dish that none of them had ever eaten before; even the simplest dish smelled so good that it made their mouths water.
Cheng Xiao Kui deliberately divided the bear paw into pieces so that everyone could have a piece.
The family enjoyed a happy meal together.
The next day, Si Muyang delivered the classified data to the Ministry of National Defense, and he finally completed his mission.
He can go home and see Cheng Xiao Kui and his mother!
He drove his Jeep to the courtyard house where Cheng Xiao Kui now lives.
