Life here is all about putting lots of chili peppers in everything you eat. It's very enjoyable, but Lin Xue was so spicy that she kept gasping for breath.
"I'll buy you a can of orange soda!"
Seeing that Lin Xue was suffering from the spiciness, Xie Yuchen quickly ran outside and bought a bottle of soda.
At this point, the soda was made in a very interesting way, with a packaging shaped like a mobile phone.
Many children save up their money and throw tantrums to buy such a soda.
After you finish drinking the soda, the plastic bottle casing of the mobile phone can still be used for fun.
Children back then really cherished these toys.
A marble, a glass bottle, a soda bottle—these are all precious treasures to them.
Unlike children in later generations, they don't just eat and then throw things away.
Nowadays, children will carefully collect and preserve even a candy wrapper.
Lin Xue didn't stand on ceremony with Xie Yuchen and took the orange-flavored soda, taking two big gulps.
"Hiss hiss~"
"Looks like I'll have to use less chili next time. Their chili oil is much spicier than the one I make myself!"
Lin Xue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but did not stop slurping her noodles.
Although the spiciness made her feel like her soul was leaving her body, a strange sense of pleasure also spread throughout her body.
"No rush, take your time eating!"
Xie Yuchen looked at Lin Xue's flushed face, the occasional tears squeezing from the corners of her eyes, and the way she sometimes couldn't help but open her mouth to gasp for air.
This disheveled appearance should have been ugly, but in Xie Yuchen's eyes, it looked good no matter how you looked at it.
It took the two of them 20 minutes to finish their rice noodles and leave the shop.
Lin Xue stopped in her tracks as she passed a stall.
"Brother Xie, shall we go buy some cold noodles to take home and eat?"
Looking at that cold jelly stall, there are so many kinds here.
There are regular jelly noodles, as well as pea jelly noodles and broad bean jelly noodles, each with a different texture.
Which type do you like to eat?
Xie Yuchen looked at Lin Xue's starry-eyed expression and asked affectionately.
"I'd like to weigh out a little of everything, Brother Xie, please wait here for me!"
After saying that, Lin Xue ran to the cold jelly stall, discussed it with the proprietress for a while, and finally weighed out a lump of each item.
"Grandma, could you get me some of these seasonings too?"
"The seasonings I make at home aren't as good as yours!"
After weighing the jelly, Lin Xue asked the old lady selling it for some seasoning.
The chili sauce made by the old lady is exceptionally delicious, and her stall is always packed with customers.
Many children would come with two cents to buy a big lump of it, cut a hole in the middle, and put chili sauce inside.
The children would drag it along with their hands, prying off a piece from the side and dipping it in the sauce as they walked.
Although Lin Xue was already full, seeing the children looking so happy and content, she felt that she might as well have a piece herself.
However, he reached out and looked at his palm.
Forehead!!!
Let's forget about it.
I've been touching and rubbing against everything along the way; if I were to eat cold noodles with hands like that...
yue~
"Little sister, are you done with your work? If you're done, I'll take you to buy some delicious food."
Seeing that Lin Xue had already put several lumps of jelly into her basket, Xie Yuchen took Lin Xue's hand and ran towards the other end of the street.
After they left, the old woman selling cold noodles gave them a sweet, doting smile.
"It's so good to be young!"
"Look at those two young lovers, they're at the perfect age!"
The old lady with the cold noodles glanced at the old man next to her; he had been sitting beside his wife the whole time.
Perhaps due to his age, his hands and feet seemed somewhat clumsy.
"Youth is wonderful! I used to take you to the market like this back then!"
The old man watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a slight smile curving his lips. He then shakily took out his pipe and filled it for himself.
"Ah, that's right!"
"Back then, I wasn't very bright and didn't even think about it that way. But you kept taking me everywhere you went, and eventually everyone knew I was dating you!"
"In the end, I had no choice but to marry you!"
The old lady who made the cold noodles put down her hands that were cutting the noodles, then looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in memories.
Now, let's talk about this side.
Lin Xue followed Xie Yuchen and soon arrived at the market.
After wandering around for a while, the two bought a watermelon and some fresh pork. Then Xie Yuchen accompanied Lin Xue to the fabric shop.
Lin Xue bought herself two bolts of blue cloth, planning to make two sets of clothes when she got home.
Clothes made from this color of fabric are both dirt-resistant and durable.
"Sister, here's a bag of candy for you!"
As the two left the market, Lin Xue suddenly felt a heavy weight in her arms—a large bag of candy.
When did you buy so much candy?
Lin Xue remembered that this person had never been separated from her. When did he buy the candy?
"I still have some here, those were bought for you!"
Xie Yuchen was a little embarrassed. He didn't know what little girls liked, but everyone loves candy, so Lin's little sister should like it!
Seeing the other person's sincere expression, Lin Xue did not refuse, but put the candy into her handbag.
"Thank you, Brother Xie. Have you bought everything? If so, we should head back now!"
The two strolled around for a while longer before retrieving their donkey cart.
They chatted for a while longer. Xie Yuchen first took Lin Xue home before driving his donkey cart back himself.
Lin Xue placed the new jar she had bought in the kitchen, and then tidied up the other things.
