Chapter 218: "Pain..." [Fourth update]
Chen Xiang was sitting in the tricycle.
She raised her head and glanced at Zhou Dongmeng who was pushing the cart, then looked at Cheng Gong who was following beside him.
"Boss Cheng?"
Chen Xiang suddenly called him.
Cheng Gong heard her sweet voice and became extremely alert: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
"Boss Cheng is still single, right?"
“…”
"How old are you this year?"
“…”
Cheng Gong pursed his lips, a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, you have good eyesight. You can tell at a glance that I am single. However, seeing that you and Mengzi have such a good relationship, I am really jealous. I also want to live a life with a wife and children as soon as possible."
"Since I was 20, I have wanted to marry a virtuous wife who would give me some plump sons. But now, 20 years have passed and I am already 42. Who is willing to marry me?"
Chen Xiang smiled and said, "It's not difficult to get a wife, but Boss Cheng should quit the dance hall first."
Cheng Gong: “…”
Well, after all the twists and turns, I still can’t leave the dance hall.
Zhou Dongmeng, who was pushing the cart, narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly. Chen Xiang heard his laughter and pulled up a little flesh on the back of his hand with her fingertips.
"hiss……"
Zhou Dong took a deep breath and whispered affectionately: "It hurts..."
Chen Xiang made a face at him.
Cheng Gong: “…”
He was in his forties, and it was a bit embarrassing to watch a young couple being so affectionate. He coughed and said loudly, "Li Zi, today is the first time I meet your wife. I should have prepared some gifts, but I was in a hurry. How about this, I'll take you to a restaurant and we'll have a good meal."
Zhou Dongmeng paused slightly: "Boss Cheng, let's forget about it today."
Chen Xiang also explained: "Boss Cheng, thank you for your kindness, but there is no need to have dinner. Zhou Dongmeng and I have to rush to the cinema entrance to sell sweet potatoes this afternoon. We can have a good gathering later when everyone is free."
Cheng Gong saw that they were busy, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, you guys are busy, we'll get together another day."
Chen Xiang took out a few wrapped sweet potatoes from the pot, handed them over, and said with a smile: "Take these sweet potatoes and save them for Brother Cheng and your young driver to eat on the road."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much."
The man walked over quickly, took it with both hands, then called for the car that had been gliding slowly behind them. Before getting in the car, Cheng Gong showed his most amiable smile and waved to Chen Xiang.
Then he bent down and got into the car.
The driver stepped on the accelerator, increased the speed of the car, and whizzed past them.
…
Cheng Gong sat in the back seat, holding a sweet potato.
He blinked, turned his head and looked through the car window at Zhou Dongmeng and Chen Xiang standing on the side of the road. The car was going very fast and the young couple was left behind in a blink of an eye, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
The figures of the two people became smaller and smaller.
Only when he could no longer see it did Cheng Gong retract his gaze, sit up straight, lean back in his chair, and let out a long sigh of comfort.
When I lowered my eyes, I saw the sweet potato in my hand.
Each one had a plump round belly and was wrapped in emerald green rice dumpling skin. The sweet smell mixed with the fragrance of the rice dumpling leaves gradually spread in the carriage. He curled his lips and smiled, picked up one and threw it to the rat driving in front.
The hot sweet potato fell right into his arms.
Haozi was startled. He held the steering wheel with one hand and took the sweet potato with the other hand to look at it. He asked, "Boss, what is this?"
“Baked sweet potatoes.”
"Boss, did you buy it?"
