The boss waved his hand and said, "Okay." He agreed to everything. After a careful calculation, it was six pounds in total, plus the fact that the young lady would be bringing her friends to eat tomorrow.
Tomorrow will probably be the busiest day of the year. I haven't been this busy in a long time, and I'm quite happy about it.
The three of them first finished the stir-fried rice cakes. Rice cakes are made of glutinous rice and are a filling food. In addition, the aunt cut a lot of them. After Xiaohua finished eating, she let out a burp.
Looking at the almost untouched fried rice cakes, my mouth watered, and I really wanted to eat them, but I was too full.
She touched her belly, wondering why it was so weak.
It would be better if my stomach were bigger.
Lu Wanzheng followed suit and touched her, asking the crucial question, "How many months?"
"Sister Wanzheng...you!" Xiaohua's face flushed red instantly, her adrenaline surged, and blood rushed to her head. "I...I...I..."
"Stop with the 'you, you, you' and 'me, me, me, me' stuff. I was just joking." Lu Wanzheng pulled her hand back.
Yao Zijun was already used to Lu Wanzheng joking with Xiao Hua, which made Zheng look at the two of them with a smile.
Life is more interesting when there's playful bickering.
After finishing their stir-fried rice cakes, the three of them were basically full. They picked up their paper bowls, said goodbye to the owner and the aunt, and went to explore other places.
It was probably past lunchtime when a group of children appeared in the alley, playing in twos and threes. Some were playing with bamboo dragonflies, while others were playing "eagle catching chicks." The children's laughter added a touch of life to the alley and a sense of beauty that was hard to describe.
For a moment, she wished that this moment could last forever, and that her child could always be so happy and carefree.
Xiao Hua followed Lu Wanzheng's gaze and felt as if her heart had been struck by something. She immediately picked up her camera and took a picture of the scene before her.
Such raw and natural photos are the most touching.
Yao Zijun tugged at Lu Wanzheng's sleeve. Lu Wanzheng looked at her, understood her intention, and nodded.
"Xiaohua, take your time taking pictures. WeChat can share your location, so turn it on. Sister Yao and I will go look around somewhere else first."
"good."
Lu Wanzheng followed Yao Zijun. She had just seen Yao Zijun pulling an old lady selling rice cakes and asking her for directions to the Temple of the Matchmaker.
The older woman patiently explained the seating arrangement to Yao Zijun.
Yao Zijun led Lu Wanzheng to a mansion with its gates tightly closed. The surroundings were quiet, and the faint smell of candlelight could be detected.
It looked just like the temple of the Matchmaker God seen in TV dramas. They saw a tree with half of its branches sticking out from the high wall, with red ribbons hanging from it.
Two stone lions stood guard majestically at the entrance.
Just as Yao Zijun was about to step forward and knock on the door, the door of a house diagonally opposite opened.
A very young girl, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, was standing at her doorstep carrying a basin of water.
"Are you here to worship the Old Man Under the Moon?" The little girl spoke softly, with a cautiousness and a hint of timidity towards strangers.
Lu Wanzheng smiled at the little girl, "Yes, I heard that the Matchmaker Temple here is very effective."
Seeing Lu Wanzheng's smile, the little girl blushed. This young lady is so pretty, and she looks even better when she smiles.
The little girl was captivated by Lu Wanzheng's smile, and her speech became hesitant, "Today... the Yue Lao Temple... is closed, the old lady inside... is resting."
Her fingers were digging into the rim of the enamel basin in her hand. As she dug, her fingernails hit the enamel edge, making a soft sound from time to time.
