It was just dinner. Grandma said she was tired from the journey and refused to go to the opera, but she accepted the tickets.
"My son will go check it out. I'll wait for your fourth uncle at home. If he finishes his work and comes over, it won't be good if there's no one left in the house."
Qiu Yuling felt that she should also stay and wait for her fourth uncle.
Li Xingyao said it was okay not to go, "It's just two tickets. Family is more important."
Grandma stopped him from destroying it, "Yuling, your fourth uncle still has to go unload the truck. I guess it's good enough if he can come in the evening so he can make it in time.
Grandma agreed to stay with you this winter, so we have plenty of time together." Actually, the old lady just wanted her granddaughter to be like other children, to go out and play more often and not be so tired all the time.
He kept urging her to go out.
"Well, okay, grandma, don't worry about cooking tonight. I'll bring you something delicious."
Qiu Yuling went in and changed her clothes, wearing a sheepskin coat and a red scarf.
Li Xingyao felt that the little girl looked much better than others even when wearing a sheepskin coat.
Grandma also pulled her over and touched it, "My child has great craftsmanship. This dress you made doesn't look bulky and looks good!"
How could it not look good? She put a lot of effort into it. You definitely won’t find another jacket like it now. The more you wear it, the more fashionable you become.
"Grandma, I'll make one for you too. My second uncle gave me several pieces of leather."
"Grandma, there's no need. If you dress like this, you'll look like a sheep in disguise. My child, hurry up and go, or you won't be able to see everything..."
After leaving home, the two of them walked like ordinary friends, keeping an arm's length apart and not too far or too close.
Li Xingyao asked her if she had received the stamp album.
"Got it, you really have two?"
"Well, the copy I gave you is almost complete, dating back to the founding of the People's Republic of China. I have another copy, except for a set of "A Red Mountain and a Red Big Mountain" in the middle, which is missing due to its small circulation. The rest are mostly old copies torn from letters..."
"It must have cost a lot of money to keep this volume like this, right?"
"Not many. For example, the used ones, besides the ones I saved myself, I used food coupons to exchange with colleagues. The unused ones are the ones I only started buying and collecting with money in recent years..."
There's a sweet potato vendor there. Wait a minute, I'll buy you one to warm your hands."
Before Qiu Yuling could call out to anyone, he had already gone to the window next to the theater.
To be honest, this guy has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. In addition, he works outdoors all year round, so he exudes a sunny feeling. If you just look at his looks, there is really nothing to pick.
Moreover, as we met and got along with each other from time to time, I found that his temperament and personality were remarkable. More importantly, today he showed off his cooking skills.
If it weren't for the nature of his work, this kind of person would be very popular in the marriage market.
So since that's the case, why not give it a try?
She lowered her head and was grinding small stones with her toes when someone suddenly came back and stood in front of her. "Here, it's wrapped in newspaper. It won't get dirty. Don't take off your gloves, or you'll burn your hands."
Qiu Yuling held the sweet potato handed to her in her red woolen gloves, and waves of warmth spread from her palms.
The man pulled out a candied haws from behind him like a magic trick, "I asked, and the old man said it's sweet, not sour."
He found out that Qiu Yuling didn't like sour food, so he made a special trip to ask her about it.
Qiu Yuling had to free up her hands to pick up the candied haws.
"It's okay, I'll hold you and bite you. We'll be going in soon. Don't let anyone squeeze you, or the signature will prick you..."
What a decadent world! The natives dare to feed it to the hungry ghosts, but she, who has seen a lot, doesn't even dare to stretch her neck to take a bite?
She plucked one of the other person's bamboo sticks and chewed it expressionlessly.
Li Xingyao asked her anxiously, "It's not sour, right?"
"You'll know if you try it."
Li Xingyao's face suddenly turned red all the way to his neck.
It's true that the speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. Qiu Yuling realized belatedly that she might have teased the little brother.
But this kind of contrast is actually very funny.
After eating two more with the help of others, Qiu Yuling refused to eat any more, saying, "You can eat it. It's uncomfortable to have sugar residue on your face."
When she spoke, her cheeks puffed up, and no matter how Li Xingyao looked at her, she looked like a cute little squirrel.
Seeing that Qiu Yuling really didn't want to eat anymore, Li Xingyao quickly ate the remaining few pills.
The sweet potato in her hand was no longer so hot. Qiu Yuling originally planned to peel it and eat it, but it was too cumbersome to hold in her hand.
But then he took out a bag of sugar snowballs from his coat pocket and took the sweet potato from her hand naturally. "Eat this. It's not long since we had dinner. If you don't have enough stomach for the sweet potato, then skip it for now."
Qiu Yuling asked him, holding up the paper bag, "Anything else?"
Li Xingyao smiled but said nothing, but it looked like there was something else going on.
The eyebrow lawsuit hadn't been concluded yet, but they had already been approved and released. "Let's go, it's about to start."
He held Qiu Yuling in front of him, and until she sat down, Qiu Yuling didn't feel any pushing or crowding.
When he was about to sit down, Li Xingyao even spread a handkerchief on the chair. Qiu Yuling was really dumbfounded.
At this moment, she really wanted to find a close friend to share this with. When a man becomes attentive, women will have no chance.
That’s not all. Halfway through, he handed over a peeled orange. If he could see inside clearly, he would have picked out all the silver threads on the orange segments.
I thought he had finished performing well today, but I didn't expect there was still room for improvement.
As soon as he left the theater, he asked Qiu Yuling to stand in a sheltered corner and went to buy a hot sweet potato.
"Holding warm hands."
"Where's the sweet potato from earlier?"
Li Xingyao patted his coat pocket. "It's already cold inside. Let's heat it up and eat it when we get home. Come on, I'll take you home."
He said he was sending someone back, but he ended up leading the way to the entrance of the state-owned hotel. "There's no wind here. Wait for me for a while."
"Uncle Qiao, it's me. Please pack me a portion of meatball soup, stir-fried choy sum, and ten large meat buns..."
I'll return the basin to you tomorrow morning."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. Boy, the girl outside is your girlfriend, right..."
Qiu Yuling and others had finished eating the sweet potatoes before this man came out.
"Are you anxious? Come on, I'll take you back."
"What is all this?"
"Didn't you say you would bring some delicious food back for grandma?"
“…”
He even took the restaurant's bowl. Shouldn't he go up and free up the bowl for them?
Once we got there, grandma insisted on leaving some food for us. "We've come all this way, and we can't go back hungry. How can that be justified?"
Without having to ask Qiu Yuling to do anything, grandma went into the kitchen and put out the dishes and bowls. "Let's eat. Your fourth uncle came over, ate the meal you left for him, and then left. He went to your fourth aunt's family's house. He'll come over when he comes back..."
