"Get up quickly, you lazy pig, or when my older sister's husband comes looking for you, I'll see how you cover it up."
Exposing the space was out of the question, so he immediately opened his eyes, jumped out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom in his slippers.
Gu Sinian chuckled at her flustered appearance, thinking, "I can't handle you."
Before long, Su Ying finished washing up and sat down at the dining table. When she saw her favorite tomato and egg noodles on the table, she was visibly happy.
What delicious food did you make for your older sister, brother-in-law, and nephew?
Gu Sinian shrugged. "I didn't do it."
Her hand holding the noodles paused, and she looked up at Gu Sinian, "Why?"
"Because the people I work with are different from those in state-run restaurants. My older sister and brother-in-law aren't stupid. Do you think they don't know what the skills are like in state-run restaurants?"
“That makes sense. If you cook for them, it’s a bit hard to explain, since we can’t possibly cook for ourselves when we’re traveling.”
"Let's go to the state-run restaurant to pack breakfast for the hospital later, that way we can explain things to them."
"Okay. We'll do it your way. Let's eat quickly, and then we'll go to the state-run restaurant to buy more food."
"Uh-huh."
Half an hour later, the two appeared at the front desk, where the staff greeted them warmly.
"check out?"
"right."
The keys were returned, the deposit was returned, and the two walked hand in hand on the street.
"They have candied hawthorns!" Su Ying shouted, pointing to the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.
"Do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat some. I didn't see any candied hawthorns for sale last time I came. Could it be a new product that the supply and marketing cooperative has added?"
"I'm not sure either. Maybe it's a trial sale. After all, only kids like to eat candied hawthorn, so the target audience is too small."
But she also likes candied hawthorns; they're sweet and sour and quite delicious.
"Buy it if you want to eat it. It's not like we're forbidding you from eating it. Why are you looking so aggrieved?"
Su Ying pulled the man's hand and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative. "Let's buy a candied hawthorn for Bai Yuchuan too. He had such a high fever yesterday. Even if the fever has subsided, he probably won't have much of an appetite. Eating a candied hawthorn might improve his appetite."
Gu Sinian chuckled, "I think you wanted to eat it, so you shifted the responsibility to Bai Yuchuan."
"After being sick, I don't have much of an appetite. I was like that when I was a child. After eating a string of candied hawthorns, my appetite improved a lot. My grandma said that hawthorns are sour, which can promote digestion, stimulate the appetite, and help with recovery."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Okay then, I'll buy two skewers."
He went to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative that sold candied hawthorns and asked directly.
"How much is a skewer of candied hawthorns?"
"One cent for a string of pearls plus a sugar coupon."
Gu Sinian was about to ask for two skewers when Su Ying blurted out, "How many candied hawthorns are left?"
"More than twenty skewers, do you want them all?"
"Complete……"
Before he could finish saying "Wrap it all up for me," Gu Sinian gave an awkward smile and pulled Su Ying a little further away, making sure no one could hear them.
"Are you crazy? Can you finish twenty candied hawthorn skewers? Don't you want your teeth?"
"I didn't say I'd eat them all now. The space can keep them fresh. These candied hawthorns are a rare find. I saw them today, so I'm definitely buying them all. What if I can't buy them again later?"
Since Su Ying has said so, twenty skewers of candied hawthorns are indeed not many. Anyway, the space has a preservation function, so we can just leave them there and eat them slowly.
Helpless, the man pulled Su Ying back and bought all twenty-odd strings of candied hawthorns, spending a lot of sugar coupons.
While biting into a candied hawthorn, Su Ying sighed, "Luckily, my dad left me a lot of candy coupons, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford candied hawthorns."
"Want some?" Su Ying held the candied hawthorn to Gu Sinian's lips.
Gu Sinian shook his head. He didn't like eating such silly things. In his eyes, candied hawthorns were no different from sour yellow peaches.
"I don't like sour food. You can eat it yourself."
"It's delicious."
"Eat more if you like it. I can't stand the sour taste. People who don't know might think you're pregnant if you like sour food so much."
