Chapter 84 Return to Yantai Temple
Chu Tingbai's hand was held by her, and he was in a very good mood when he heard that she had just affirmed their relationship in front of others.
"Yanrou, you're back from vacation!"
A voice filled with surprise rang out from in front of them. It was a handsome boy wearing a work jacket.
At this moment, he was holding a string of sausages in his hand and whistling as he was about to enter a yard.
He saw Qing Yanrou walking towards him from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was filled with unconcealable joy.
Chu Tingbai looked at that look and immediately understood that this was another person who was thinking about his girl.
Tsk, not happy.
"Hello, Brother Vision, I'm here to buy something from the village chief."
Qing Yanrou greeted him obediently.
Hearing her words, Li Yuanxiang said happily: "Just take whatever you want, no need to buy it. Come on, come in."
Li Yuanxiang stepped back slightly and moved sideways to let her go in first.
She didn't bother to be polite with him, and took Chu Tingbai's hand and walked into the yard first.
When Li Yuanxiang saw them walking hand in hand in front of him, he was stunned. His hand loosened and the string of sausages fell to the ground.
The big yellow dog that had been following him and eyeing the sausages in his hand let out a "woof", ran over quickly, grabbed the sausages and ran away.
Li Yuanxiang came to his senses and was so angry that he picked up the broom beside him and chased after him.
"Da Huang, stop right there!"
The big yellow dog ran faster after hearing his roar.
Hearing his angry voice, Qing Yanrou turned around curiously and saw him chasing a dog, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
Chu Tingbai used his other hand to turn her face over and pushed her to move forward, not allowing her to continue looking.
"Hey, Yanrou is here to look for ingredients for cooking, right? Your uncle Li only remembered this after you left. He wanted to ask Yiyuan to deliver it for you, but the kid went to his second uncle's house to get some sausages and hasn't come back for a long time."
Aunt Li, who heard the noise, came out and looked at Qing Yanrou and spoke loudly.
"Sorry to bother Uncle Li and Aunt Li, I can get it myself. Have you seen enough?"
As she spoke, she handed Aunt Li a few hundred yuan. Because she only had three hundred yuan in cash on her, and Aunt Li and her family were older and didn't use smartphones, she couldn't transfer money to them via mobile phone.
"What do you need this for, kid? Put it away."
Aunt Li told her unhappily that the rice, flour and vegetables in the countryside were not worth mentioning at all. They were all neighbors and there was no need for her to give them money.
"Aunt, your family is in business. How can you do business without charging money? If you don't charge, I'll go to town and buy it."
"Hey, you kid!"
After hearing what she said, Aunt Li accepted the money, and at the same time she saw Chu Tingbai holding her hand.
"Yanrou, what is this?"
Her expression froze for a moment. As a mother, she definitely knew what her son was thinking. Seeing Qing Yanrou bringing her boyfriend back to the temple, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"I haven't introduced you yet. This is my boyfriend, Chu Tingbai."
Chu Tingbai let go of her hand, took the rice from the ground and said to Aunt Li:
"Hello, Auntie."
"Okay, okay."
Aunt Li looked at the young boy's demeanor and the care he took for Qing Yanrou, and knew that he was someone who truly loved her. Although she felt sorry for her son, love has always been a matter of fate.
Her son has known the other person for eighteen years, but Qing Yanrou only treats him as a brother next door. After all, her Li family does not have this blessing.
She thought about all this for only a short while. When she came to her senses, she greeted Chu Tingbai in a friendly manner.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, Chu Tingbai carried rice in one hand and vegetables in the other and prepared to return to the Taoist temple with Qing Yanrou.
Originally, she wanted to help order the dishes, but he refused to give them to her. There was nothing she could do. Anyway, the food was not much, and as someone who exercised all year round, it should not be a problem for him, so she stopped insisting.
As the two walked out of Li's house, they saw Li Yuanxiang squatting on a small mound nearby, holding the sausage that he had snatched back from the dog with great difficulty. He was looking depressed with his head down, and with his other hand he picked up a branch and kept scratching the soil next to him.
When he saw them come out, he straightened up and stood aside embarrassedly.
"Um, Yanrou, my mom originally wanted to give you this sausage, but I messed it up. I'll go get it from my second uncle's house later."
Li Yuanxiang's face was full of apology, and he hid the sadness very well.
"It's okay, that's enough. Let's go back to the Taoist temple first. If you have any problems, you can come to the Taoist temple to find me, or my grandfather will do."
Qing Yanrou noticed someone's unhappy mood and quickly added something.
Then he no longer cared about Li Yuanxiang who was sad alone, and followed Chu Tingbai back to the Taoist temple.
Looking at their receding backs, Li Yuanxiang felt his heart throbbing with pain.
He shook off the remaining half of the sausage in his hand and walked into his home dejectedly.
"You really are jealous of everyone. You might as well change your name to the Jealous King."
On the way up the mountain, Qing Yanrou poked his waist with her hand and whispered.
"He likes you."
"But I don't like him."
She found him incomprehensible, and it was impossible for her to stop other people from thinking.
Chu Tingbai carried and lifted the things without feeling tired at all. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:
"I know, but I'm jealous. I'm jealous that he was your childhood playmate, that he went to school with you, that he..."
"Stop! Who told you he was my childhood playmate? I didn't even have enough time to practice as a kid, how could I have the time to finish it?"
Hearing him mutter about jealousy, she couldn't help but chuckle. This man was becoming more and more childish.
However, this childish possessiveness did not disgust her. On the contrary, she somewhat liked his childish possessiveness, as if deep in her soul she was particularly eager to get his attention.
"Stop being jealous."
But in order to make him feel better and not be jealous to death, she still spoke seriously.
When the two returned to the temple, they saw Han Nianlu and the other three and Xiao Yan having fun in the open space in front of the mountain gate. Even the sleeping Xiao Hei woke up and played with them.
Ignoring them, the two went into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. They had eaten the food he cooked last time in Tianfu Street, but this was the first time they cooked with him.
In the evening, whether it was Han Nianlu and the other three or Master Jianyi, they all praised his cooking skills.
The next day they had to accompany Li Manxiang back to the next county to complete their interview mission, so they all went to bed early and looked forward to the interview in Lijia Village the next day.
I hope they can complete the interview smoothly this time and spend a few more days at Li Manxiang's house.
The ideas of several people are very beautiful, but they don’t know whether this interview can really meet their wishes.
