Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian had just changed into lighter clothes when Zhou Jiadong and Zhou Jiahong, who lived in the next room, came over.
"Mom, why is it so hot here? I was dying of heat on the train." Zhou Jiahong and Zhou Jiadong had also changed their clothes. The temperature here was so different from home. They were wearing sweaters and cotton-padded jackets when they boarded the train, but now they were only wearing two thin layers of clothing.
"The temperature is quite comfortable." Zhou Cailian doesn't like winter, but she finds the climate here very pleasant.
Yu Qiuying checked the time; it was already past six o'clock.
She said to the three of them, "Let's go out for dinner."
Zhou Cailian was a little reluctant to spend the money. "Mom, aren't there still some steamed buns left? Let's eat the steamed buns instead. Eating outside is definitely expensive, and the weather here is warm. If we don't finish these steamed buns, they won't taste good tomorrow."
Before Yu Qiuying could say anything, Zhou Jiahong said, "I don't eat steamed buns, I want to go out to eat."
Actually, he mainly wanted to go out for a stroll. He was only now realizing how lively it was outside at night, with bright lights and bustling activity everywhere.
Zhou Jiadong didn't say anything; he was fine with eating anything.
Yu Qiuying had been eating steamed buns all day and wasn't really hungry anymore. "Let's go out to eat, and then we can go for a walk."
So the four of them went out to eat.
The outside was brightly lit, and it was even more lively at night than during the day.
Not far from the hotel, a street was lined with night market stalls and open-air restaurants, with all sorts of tempting aromas that made people's mouths water.
“So many people…” Zhou Cailian nervously grabbed Yu Qiu’s arm, feeling a little scared. She didn’t know what she was afraid of, but she felt uneasy because there were strangers everywhere and she couldn’t understand a word the people around her were saying.
Zhou Jiahong was so excited that he looked around everywhere, feeling like he couldn't take it all in.
Zhou Jiadong followed behind Yu Qiuying inconspicuously, neither as uneasy as Zhou Cailian nor as excited as Zhou Jiahong. He simply looked around curiously, finding it quite novel.
Yu Qiuying went into a small stir-fry restaurant, and the four of them ordered three dishes: stir-fried bok choy, minced meat and tofu, and stir-fried green peppers with meat.
The portions of each dish were quite large, and the taste was decent.
However, Zhou Cailian and the other two felt that the dish was not as good as the one made by Yu Qiuying.
Zhou Jiahong whispered to Yu Qiuying, "Mom, why don't you open a small stir-fry shop? I think your cooking is much better than this shop's. The business will definitely be very good."
This wasn't flattery; he genuinely thought his mother's cooking was better than the restaurant's.
"Eat your food." Yu Qiuying has no plans to open a restaurant for the time being; it's too hard work. She'd rather open the breakfast shop first.
The meal cost fourteen yuan, and each of us bought a bottle of mineral water.
Zhou Cailian was extremely distressed. "Sigh... even drinking water outside costs money, and such a small bottle is so expensive."
It's 50 cents more expensive than a soft drink.
If this were at home, you could ask anyone for water to drink, no matter where you were.
Sure enough, you have to spend money everywhere when you're out in the world.
Since it was still early when they left the store, Yu Qiuying took Zhou Cailian and the other two to stroll around the area. Beyond the night market street, there was a street full of stalls selling clothes, shoes, various trinkets, books for rent, ear piercing, fortune telling, and so on.
There are a lot of people here, and most of them are young people.
"Come and take a look! The latest fashionable spring clothes in Haicheng, you'll be the most stylish person on the street when you wear them!"
"Factory direct sales! Factory direct sales! Jeans are only 15 yuan a pair! Don't miss out!"
