After arriving at the Nanluo Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Lin Yang looked at the non-staple food counter in front of him.
I bought two bags of Friendship brand sunflower seeds, four cans of canned fruit in syrup, and thirty pieces of fruit candy.
A bag of sunflower seeds costs 13 cents, a can of food costs 50 cents, and fruit candy costs 10 dollars and 10 cents.
It only cost Lin Yang less than three yuan in total.
However, when he came out carrying these things, Liang Ladi, Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, and Xiu'er all stared wide-eyed.
"Sister Liang, I didn't bring anything else, just some snacks for the kids to enjoy." Lin Yang smiled and took out four pieces of fruit candy from the bag.
Liang Ladi quickly said, "Yangzi, this is not right. I'm inviting you to dinner, why are you bringing your own things?"
"Hey! Sister Liang, I can't possibly go to your place for a meal empty-handed, can I? These days, you have to bring your own food coupons to eat at your parents' house." Lin Yang said, placing a piece of candy in front of the little girl Xiu'er, "Xiu'er, have a piece of candy."
Although a hint of longing flashed in Xiuer's eyes, she still looked up at her mother.
After hearing this, Liang Ladi could only say, "Then I'll accept Yangzi this time. Don't be shy next time you come to my house."
He then smiled and patted Xiuer's head, saying, "Uncle will give you candy. Eat it if you want."
"Thank you, Brother Lin Yang!" Xiu'er smiled and accepted the candy from Lin Yang's hand.
Upon hearing this, Liang Ladi said somewhat awkwardly, "Xiuer, you should call him uncle, why are you calling him brother?"
"Brother Lin Yang is so handsome, I want to call him brother." Xiu'er said happily as she unwrapped the candy.
Lin Yang, who was giving candy to Da Mao, Er Mao, and San Mao, smiled and said, "Sister Liang, let the children call us whatever they want."
Da Mao, Er Mao, and San Mao rolled their eyes and, holding their candies, happily called out to Lin Yang, "Brother Lin Yang."
Seeing how well Lin Yang got along with her child, Liang Ladi smiled.
It was as if I had eaten the candy myself.
Lin Yang draped the bag over the handlebars of his bicycle and stopped riding.
Instead, they pushed the stroller and walked forward with Liang Ladi and her child.
When they passed by the state-run restaurant, Lin Yang greeted Liang Ladi and went inside to find Yan Zhaolong.
"Brother Yang." Yan Zhaolong, who was still bored and chatting with the other waiters, smiled and said when he saw Lin Yang come in, "You're here so early today. What are you planning to eat for lunch?"
"Ah Long, I won't be eating here for lunch." Lin Yang smiled and took out a cigarette for him, then was about to give some to the other waiters as well.
The other waiters, with their keen observation, remarked:
"Brother Yang, your cigarettes are amazing. We can't smoke them every day."
“Yes, Brother Yang, you’re so generous. We can’t always take advantage of others.”
"Brother Yang, you can give your cigarettes to Ah Long. We can enjoy the smell too."
...........
Hearing what these waiters said.
Lin Yang smiled and took a packet of peonies from the system, putting it in his pocket.
He then reached out and took it out, placing it in Yan Zhaolong's hand and saying:
"Ah Long, you can help everyone disperse later. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!"
"I'll take the Moutai to Uncle Yan again tonight."
"Okay." Yan Zhaolong nodded with a smile, then looked helplessly at the peony in his hand and said, "Brother Yang, you're too kind. You always offer cigarettes when you come. You really don't need to next time."
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it next time." After saying that to Yan Zhaolong, Lin Yang also prepared to light a cigarette.
But thinking of Liang Ladi and the other children, he put the cigarette back.
Waiting to go out.
Lin Yang saw Da Mao breathe on the crossbar of his bicycle, and then he took out a handkerchief and started to work seriously.
Er Mao and San Mao squatted one after the other beside the front and rear tires of the bicycle, wiping the spokes with the snow on the ground.
The little girl Xiuer was also busy, using the snow on the ground to wipe the dust off the mudguards.
Seeing how diligent the children were, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile and look at Liang Ladi, saying, "Sister Liang, your children are so sensible."
Liang Ladi couldn't help but smile when she heard her child being praised.
However, she still modestly said, "No, no, they still need to be educated. Didn't you catch them making a mistake a few days ago, Yoko?"
"Sister Liang, children need more encouragement. It's good that Da Mao and Er Mao know they were wrong last time and can correct their mistakes in the future!" Lin Yang said, patting the children. "Alright, kids, let's go home."
After saying that, Lin Yang picked up Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, do you want to ride a bicycle?"
"Yes!" Xiu'er said in her childish voice.
After Lin Yang put Xiu'er in the back seat of the car, he said with a smile, "Okay, then you better sit tight."
Then he looked at Da Mao, Er Mao, and San Mao, whose eyes flashed with a hint of envy, and said, "As long as you behave in the future, I'll let you experience it later, okay?"
"Okay!" The three nodded vigorously.
The group chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived at a courtyard with a gate.
"Sister Liang, is this your home?" Lin Yang asked with a hint of doubt.
“Yes, this house was just allocated to my husband before he passed away.” Liang Ladi said with a sigh, “It’s a pity he didn’t get to enjoy it for even a day. He passed away before he could even move in after it was allocated.”
After saying that, Liang Ladi couldn't help but laugh and say, "Yangzi, look at my mouth, why am I saying this? Let's go inside and talk about it."
When Liang Ladi pushed open the door.
