As a result, there were many more adults than usual standing in line in front of the candied hawthorn stall.
Lin Zhou arrived at the location around 11:30. The International Foreign Language School dismisses students at 11:45. He came out of the teaching building around 11:50.
Half of the candied hawthorn berries in stock have already been bought up by the parents at the door.
This made the elementary school students who could only come out on time very sad.
The next day, as soon as the school bell rang, he immediately grabbed his schoolbag and ran to the school gate.
They were all moving so fast that the teacher couldn't stop them even when shouting from behind.
"Ahhh, here I come, candied hawthorn!"
"Don't anyone try to take it from me, I want to be first!"
"Charge, kids! Whoever grabs the candied hawthorn is the boss!"
"Why are you running? It's not like there aren't any! Seriously! Hey, wait for me!"
"......"
A group of students, like zombies leaving the city, howled and rushed straight to Lin Zhou's stall.
Today is Friday, and the students will have a holiday tomorrow.
Since school was closed, Lin Zhou didn't plan to set up a stall here anymore. To prevent students from crying because they couldn't find him, Lin Zhou made a point of informing everyone when he sold candied hawthorns.
If he hadn't run into some customers from his previous steamed bun stall this week, he wouldn't have known that his customers would keep looking for him after he moved his stall.
In the future, I should remind him at least once, so that even if some people don't care, it will prevent everyone from making wasted trips looking for him.
"Huh? No classes tomorrow?"
What? Tomorrow's Saturday?
The bewildered elementary school student amused Lin Zhou.
When he was in school, he would start looking forward to Fridays as soon as a holiday came, and he would count down the days meticulously.
Are children today so passionate about learning?
You don't even look forward to holidays?
The next second, the elementary school students all asked Lin Zhou where he was going to set up his stall, and only then did Lin Zhou realize what was going on.
It's not that they don't care about holidays, but rather that they care about whether they can eat candied hawthorns.
Whether you meet someone while wandering the streets and alleys depends entirely on fate.
The elementary school students had never encountered anything like this before, and they were all dumbfounded.
Looking at Lin Zhou, she was almost in tears.
Some of the regular diners in the crowd also twitched at the corners of their mouths, strongly suspecting that this was Lin Zhou's perverse sense of humor.
But it did pique my interest.
Since I don't have to work on the weekend, why not go out and see if I can bump into the boss and have a delicious meal together?
Hehe, it's actually quite interesting when you think about it that way.
Lin Zhou has a knack for coaxing elementary school students.
After selling out 500 skewers of candied hawthorns, he prepared to close up shop.
There were still some roadside stall owners around who greeted him warmly as he packed up.
"Is Boss Lin closing up shop?"
Yes, they're sold out.
When others greeted him, Lin Zhou responded warmly.
I also asked them where they would set up their stall on the weekend.
All told, he'd only been running his stall for a month, and he wasn't familiar with many of the places.
When you meet someone in the same industry, you naturally want to ask them for more information.
"On weekends, I usually go to parks or places near shopping malls, wherever there are a lot of people."
"There are many night markets in Jiangdong City. The university town area is crowded and has good business, so you can set up a stall there."
Lin Zhou nodded in understanding, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then rode his tricycle home to pack up his stall.
Uncle Zhang is back from being discharged from the hospital today, and I've invited him over for dinner. I need to prepare some gifts to take with me when I get home.
......
Six o'clock in the evening.
Lin Zhou brought a bouquet made of candied hawthorns to Zhang Jianjun's house.
Grandpa Zhang's face had gone down in swelling, and he greeted us with great enthusiasm.
"Oh, I've been waiting for you! Why did you bring anything?"
When Zhang Jianjun saw that Lin Zhou had brought something with him for dinner, he was about to tell him to take it back later, but he shut his mouth after seeing the bouquet of candied hawthorns in Lin Zhou's hands.
"You're such a thoughtful child, you know that's what your uncle likes."
Zhang Jianjun happily accepted the bouquet, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at Lin Zhou.
As I entered the living room, Sister Wang came over with tea.
“Let me tell you, your brother Mingyuan is a real scoundrel. I could have just gotten an IV drip, but he insisted on putting me in the hospital and having the dentist fix my teeth. Not only can I not eat, but I'm also suffering.”
"He even brought candied hawthorns to tempt me."
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still eat candied hawthorns every day. Aren't you afraid of ruining your teeth?"
As Lin Zhou listened to Uncle Zhang's incessant complaints, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.
This father and son are really constantly outwitting each other.
Zhang Mingyuan did indeed come to his stall every day to buy candied hawthorns.
I thought I was buying it for my girlfriend, but I never expected to bring candied hawthorns to tempt his dad.
"Candied hawthorns can be frozen and eaten like ice cream in the summer. They won't spoil for a while and have a unique flavor. Don't eat them all at once this time, or your teeth will hurt again."
Zhang Jianjun looked at the bouquet of candied hawthorns in his hand and touched it tenderly.
Over the years, no one has ever sent him flowers. This bouquet of candied hawthorns was made from rock sugar and showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.
"I've been eating candied hawthorn for years. When I was a kid, if I had a string of candied hawthorn, I could brag about it for days. My parents would buy it for me whenever I had an exam. All my friends were so envious of me. It's been so many years since I've had it."
The things we ate as children, we always feel as children's food when we grow up, and even if we see them, we rarely eat them anymore.
I never expected that when I ate it again, he had grown old.
"Back then, there weren't so many varieties of candied hawthorn. There were only hawthorn and apple ones. And the apple ones were made into whole candied hawthorn skewers. They were crunchy and hard to eat, but they were big and red, and incredibly tempting. Eating one skewer could make you happy all day."
