Zhou Chunmei swayed as she walked out and went to Feng Chao's side.
Feng Chao felt a slight, almost imperceptible unease. He raised the egg in his hand and then tilted his body to look at Lin Qingyu.
"Qingyu, look at these free-range eggs I specially found for you. Eating these is good for your health."
He tried to stay away from Zhou Chunmei, and continued to shout at Lin Qingyu, who was ignoring him.
"Qingyu, look at this egg! It's such a beautiful color! I've heard that if pregnant women eat free-range eggs, their babies will be smart!"
Gu Shi grabbed Feng Chao by the collar and dragged him outside.
Lin Qingyu sat there and sighed, utterly exhausted.
Zhou Chunmei covered her mouth and laughed as she followed, "Xiao Gu, wait a minute! Qingyu won't eat the free-range eggs, but I will. I love free-range eggs!"
Then the door was pushed open, and before it could close, it was pushed open again, and finally the door was slammed shut.
With a "smack," the noise made Lin Qingyu's head buzz. Day after day, she kept seeing these annoying people.
Outside the gate, Gu Shi shoved Feng Chao aside, but didn't dare to use too much force for fear of breaking the eggs and wasting food.
Feng Chao took a few steps back and finally managed to stand firm when he hit a pole. He was both angry and anxious.
He was angry that he wasn't as strong as Gu Shida, and anxious that his eggs hadn't even reached Lin Qingyu's hands yet.
"Gu Shi, why are you like this? Can't I even bring you something?"
"unnecessary!"
Zhou Chunmei added fuel to the fire, saying, "Xiao Gu, that's not right of you. Even if they're just Qingyu's fellow townsman, it's only right to give them something!"
Gu Shi finally had a chance to glance at her, and the old feelings he had for her were slowly fading away.
Zhou Chunmei didn't dare to go too far, so she shut her mouth and dared not say anything more.
Seeing that Gu Shi was distracted, Feng Chao tried to push his way in, but someone grabbed his collar from behind and pulled him back.
"Gu...cough cough! Gu Shi..."
This time the force was quite strong; he didn't fall, but he was strangled, and Feng Chao couldn't breathe for a moment.
"I'm warning you, don't indulge in wishful thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about!"
After Gu Shi finished speaking, he went straight into the restaurant and bolted the door shut from the inside.
A crowd had gathered outside the restaurant; wherever you are, there will never be a shortage of onlookers.
Especially since there was a young woman with a good figure like Zhou Chunmei standing in front of this restaurant.
However, Zhou Chunmei didn't care about any of that. She half-squatted down, making sure her line of sight was level with the person who was bending over and coughing.
"Are you alright? You must be Teacher Feng from Pear Blossom Village!"
Zhou Chunmei took out her handkerchief and wiped away Feng Chao's tears as he coughed.
It has a light fragrance, which smells very nice.
Feng Chao, somewhat flattered, straightened up and took two steps back to keep his distance from Zhou Chunmei.
By this time, the crowd had gradually dispersed, and Zhou Chunmei became bolder.
She stepped forward, grabbed Feng Chao's arm, and started to walk away.
"Girl, what are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Feng Chao was a little anxious; he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit today.
"Oh, Professor Feng, don't be so reserved! I've heard so much about you and would love to get to know you!"
Zhou Chunmei kept pulling on the person, and it was unclear where she was taking them.
Feng Chao, being a man, shoved Zhou Chunmei aside and took a few steps back to maintain a safe distance from her.
"Teacher Feng, I was just kidding. I'm just curious about your Pear Blossom Village. I've never been there before! I've heard the scenery there is beautiful, and I wanted to ask you about it."
Zhou Chunmei looked at Feng Chao with a smile. She was naturally charming, and with her affected manner, most men would find it hard to resist.
Oh! Gu Shi is no ordinary man.
Feng Chao blushed slightly and coughed to cover up his embarrassment by touching his nose.
"Girl, you should speak properly, you can't do this!"
"Teacher Feng, you're really funny! Hahaha!"
Zhou Chunmei suddenly laughed, then walked closer to Feng Chao, startling him so much that he tried to back away.
"Teacher Feng, don't be nervous. I just got the eggs for you. If Qingyu doesn't want them, that's fine. But I love them. How about you give them to me?"
Faced with Zhou Chunmei's overtures, Feng Chao was indeed unable to resist and quickly gave in.
"Here you go! These are genuine free-range eggs, very nutritious!"
Feng Chao handed the eggs to Zhou Chunmei with both hands. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Chunmei took them, it was unclear whether it was unintentional or intentional.
Her fair and delicate hand gently stroked Feng Chao's rough and large hand, causing Feng Chao's heart to flutter.
People living in the countryside usually have rough and dark hands, and Gu Shi was no exception.
However, Lin Qingyu often used hand cream to moisturize him, which made him a little better.
Feng Chao's hands were different; they were really rough, but Zhou Chunmei didn't mind.
"Teacher Feng, you've worked so hard! Looking at your hands, it breaks my heart!"
Zhou Chunmei pretended to pity him and grabbed his hand, which startled Feng Chao so much that he immediately pulled back.
"Girl, if you keep doing this, I'll... I'll!"
Feng Chao couldn't say anything after trying for a long time, so he just did what he was doing, which made Zhou Chunmei laugh out loud.
"Hahaha! Teacher Feng, you're so funny! My name is Zhou Chunmei, you can just call me Sister Mei!"
"Chunmei? The plum blossoms herald the approach of spring! It's a very elegant name, but you look so much younger than me..."
Feng Chao showed off his literary talent, which suited Zhou Chunmei's taste quite well.
"Teacher Feng is so cultured. Actually, my name was just something I picked up randomly. It was already springtime, and a plum blossom in the corner of my wall had bloomed, so that's how I got my name!"
Zhou Chunmei continued speaking with a smile, then changed the subject, saying, "I'm already thirty years old (by Chinese reckoning), how am I young?"
Feng Chao really couldn't tell; he thought Zhou Chunmei was just dressing maturely, but he didn't expect her to be genuinely mature.
Later, Zhou Chunmei used the excuse of asking about the scenery of Lihua Village to bring Feng Chao to her dance hall.
This was also one of Gu Shi's businesses, but Lin Qingyu never knew it, and not many people around him knew it either.
He was both giving Feng Chao drinks and trying to make him happy.
Zhou Chunmei found out a lot of things she wanted to know, and she was overjoyed.
The two people in the small restaurant had already started tidying up the shop after Gu Shi closed the door.
Lin Qingyu went to check the kitchen and found that many of the ingredients were moldy and spoiled.
Although there is a Snowflake brand refrigerator in the kitchen, it is not very large, and almost all the ingredients in the store are fresh.
When business was booming, it wasn't enough to just buy groceries once a day; I also had to go out to shop again in the afternoon.
I never imagined the kitchen would turn out like this; it's smelly and filthy.
Lin Qingyu couldn't clean it up either, so she could only wait until everyone was at work the next day to deal with it.
Gu Shi checked the shop's accounts, and the amounts matched; there were no problems.
Lin Qingyu came out and looked at Gu Shi with a bitter expression.
"Oh dear, I still have to go find Master Zhang. I don't even know if he'll be willing to come back!"
Gu Shi said confidently, "They'll definitely be willing to come!"
