In Li Dongyang's words, "Did they come to my house for breakfast?"
This is way too early!
He wasn't even fully awake yet.
Li Dongyang rubbed his eyes and grabbed his phone from the bedside table. "Hello!"
"Brother Dongyang, it's me, Cai Cai. I'm already at your door. Please open the door for me."
Li Dongyang took his phone away and checked the time; it was only 7 o'clock. He then put the phone back to his ear, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Brother Dongyang, I'm already at the door. I wasn't joking with you."
Li Dongyang stayed up late writing the script last night. He finished writing episode 12 at 1:30 a.m. and by the time he finished washing up and lay in bed it was almost 2 a.m.
He was sound asleep when he was completely stunned by Cai Cai Gao.
Li Dongyang opened the door, still half asleep.
Cai Cai stood at the door, her hands full of things, her face beaming with a smile. "It's our custom to give gifts to the matchmaker. I didn't know what to give, so I just gave these."
Looking at Cai Cai, she has a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right, and all that's missing is a baby on her back.
Li Dongyang couldn't help but want to laugh.
I thought to myself, this kid is really a simpleton.
Li Dongyang opened the door, and Cai Cai came in carrying chickens and ducks tied with a net.
“This is what my mom brought back from her hometown yesterday. It’s fed with our own grain. Dongyang, you don’t look fully awake yet. Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
"I'll go downstairs and see if they've slaughtered any chickens."
Knowing Li Dongyang's understanding of him, there was no way to persuade him otherwise, so he simply stopped trying. "The key is hanging at the door, so I'll sleep a little longer."
"Um!"
Li Dongyang went back into the house intending to sleep for a while longer.
He couldn't fall asleep again while lying in bed.
I yawned, washed my face, and went to the balcony.
Cai Cai was still distributing the things she had brought.
"Brother Dongyang, aren't you going to go take a nap?"
"I can't sleep."
There's no reason for the host to be asleep when guests arrive.
"Let's go, let's go to the supermarket together and buy some groceries."
Have you had breakfast?
"I've already eaten, I'll go with you."
It was a little chilly in Wancheng at the end of October. The elderly and children wore thin jackets, while the younger people could handle it, feeling only slightly cool.
The two of them each carried a plastic bag downstairs.
As soon as I arrived at the shop entrance, the proprietress greeted me familiarly.
"Handsome guy, having breakfast?"
What should we eat today?
"Fried dough sticks? Steamed buns, plus a side dish?"
After eating here so many times, Li Dongyang naturally started complaining to the proprietress.
Beneath her cheerful exterior lies a body full of scars.
This woman was originally a company executive. After getting married, she quit her job to become a full-time housewife for the sake of her child. She took care of everything at home, big and small. However, in her husband's family's eyes, she was lazy and always spent their son's money. She endured this life of compromise and humiliation for three years.
Finally, unable to bear the in-laws' sarcastic attitude any longer, she divorced her husband and is now raising her child alone here.
This year, her child went to school, and she borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from her parents' home to open this breakfast shop downstairs in the community.
Because she is warm and hospitable and her portions are generous, construction workers from the neighborhood come to her place for lunch and dinner every day.
In her words, she was a little tired, but she was very happy now.
Looking at the warm smile on the proprietress's face.
Li Dongyang felt nothing but admiration for this woman.
Therefore, many things cannot be judged by appearances alone.
At first, he thought the woman seemed a bit frivolous.
Later, as he had more time to eat, Li Dongyang realized why the landlady had asked for his opinion the first time he came to eat breakfast there.
"Is this your first time here, young man? What would you like to eat?"
"We have congee, poached eggs, fried dough sticks, side dishes, and steamed buns. Since it's your first time here, I'll give you a free fried dough stick."
Most of the people having breakfast here are regulars.
So people's hearts are still warm.
"No need, I've already had breakfast at home." Cai Cai smiled brightly at the proprietress.
"Okay, then I'll give you a fried dough stick too."
With such a warm and welcoming proprietress, wouldn't anyone want to come back and patronize her business again?
This made Cai Cai very embarrassed.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and order breakfast.
Li Dongyang smiled as he ate breakfast while watching Cai Cai.
"How does it taste?"
"It's much tastier than the breakfast place downstairs."
Li Dongyang looked around; he had already walked through the small shop twice.
As long as there's foot traffic, the owner knows how to handle people, and the food is decent, there's no chance the business won't succeed.
The two had a simple breakfast, killed a chicken, bought vegetables, and returned home before 8:30.
There was a knock on the door at 10 o'clock.
It goes without saying who it is.
Cai Cai got up and tugged at her T-shirt.
Somewhat bewildered, she walked towards the door.
He took a deep breath, opened the door, and flashed what he considered his most charming smile.
"Hey Dongyang, why are you only opening the door now?"
"My hand is about to break."
It was Cai Cai who opened the door.
Tangxin looked puzzled, took two steps back, and looked up at the house number. "That's right! It's Dongyang's house!"
"Hello, my name is Cai Cai, and I'm Dongyang's colleague."
Tangxin and Cai Cai exchanged a glance.
"Oh! I remember now, you were there when I picked up Dongyang that day."
"What are you standing there for? Help me get my things."
Compared to Cai Cai, Tang Xin is much more generous and natural.
