Chen Cixiu bought the best quality clothes; the fabric was excellent. Before President Jiang returned, he washed and dried the clothes and hung them on the balcony to air them out while the sun was still out.
He then went out to buy groceries.
"Chen Cixiu?"
Chen Ci was buying vegetables at the market when he suddenly heard his name called out to him.
He turned around and saw a female vendor calling to him.
"Who are you?"
Chen Cixiu really didn't recognize who it was.
"Me? Chen Fang."
He searched his memory but couldn't find a match.
I'm not entirely sure, but could the other person recognize me because they watched the live stream?
Even if you've watched the live stream, you shouldn't shout out your own name like that, especially since it sounds so practiced.
He walked over, and the woman smiled. "Don't you remember me? I knew it the moment I guessed."
"I'm really sorry, I don't really remember it."
He couldn't think of anyone who was a good match for her.
"Chen Fang, your elementary school deskmate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cixiu's memory was pulled back to his elementary school days, and he remembered.
His deskmate in elementary school was indeed named Chen Fang.
"You, with a round face?"
The change was so drastic that he hardly recognized it.
Chen Fang glared at him with an annoyed expression.
Chen Cixiu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, he had been called "Little Round Face" for six years and just couldn't shake the habit.
"I'm so sorry, I just blurted it out without thinking. I really didn't recognize you."
Chen Fang used to be a little girl with a round face, and she always wore her hair in pigtails. Back then, Chen Cixiu always called her "Little Round Face" because of her round face.
Now, Chen Fang has no makeup on her face, her face has become thinner, she no longer has her original round face, and her skin looks much older.
Although she's only twenty-two, she looks like a thirty-year-old girl without makeup.
His hands were calloused.
"You've become incredibly popular lately. If I hadn't seen you on TV, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Chen Fang said with a smile, not at all thinking that the shock her changes had caused her classmates was a problem.
"You, what are you doing here?"
Chen Cixiu asked.
"I'm selling chickens here. Do you want to buy some? I'll give you two free."
"Mother!"
Suddenly, a childish voice came from the side. Looking in the direction of the voice, Chen Cixiu saw a little boy tugging at Chen Fang's leg.
"This is?"
Chen Cixiu could hardly believe it; the child should already be around three years old.
“This is my son. Isn’t he adorable?” Chen Fang asked with a smile.
"Your child?"
Seemingly noticing his embarrassment, Chen Fang said frankly, "Yes, it's my child, he's two and a half years old this year."
"That?"
Chen Cixiu looked around the stall but didn't see Chen Fang's husband there.
"Stop looking. I knew you'd be curious when I called you over. I'm raising my child alone now, and I just started this stall today. This will be my stall from now on. If you want to eat chicken, come anytime, and I'll give you a discount."
Chen Fang said with a smile.
Chen Cixiu didn't say anything, just nodded, "I'll buy two, that'll be enough to make chicken soup and poached chicken for my wife."
Chen Cixiu took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
"Hey, I promised to give it to you, so don't pay me."
"No way, you have a child with you, I can't take advantage of my old classmate. I'll definitely come to buy chickens from time to time in the future. What, is it your farm? Can you deliver every day?"
Chen Cixiu paid the money but refused her offer of help.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you a discount next time you come. Do you want the head and chicken butt?"
Chen Cixiu shook his head.
Looking at Chen Fang's very skilled manner, one can only imagine how much hardship this girl must have endured over the years.
"Okay, by the way, if you have time, come and sit down too. Several of our elementary school classmates have said they haven't seen you in a long time. Oh, right, I remember Qin Xue went to junior high, high school and college with you, right? Remember to invite her next time you come."
Chen Fang packed the chicken and handed it to Chen Cixiu.
"Okay, I'll let you know when I have time."
"Okay, I won't add you as a friend. You'll be buying chickens from me anyway."
Chen Fang said with a smile.
I said goodbye to Chen Fang.
Before leaving, Chen Cixiu looked at the child and couldn't tell that she was having any difficulties.
Chen Cixiu murmured to himself, "He's still the same as when he was a child, so prone to showing off."
When he was in elementary school, Xiao Yuanlian was clearly afraid to sing, but after being teased, he said that he could definitely do it.
Then I went up.
She sang terribly and cried afterwards.
But when she saw someone coming, she said, "It's okay, I'll practice and I'll be fine. I'll dare to go again next time."
She seems to be the same now.
They were not defeated by life.
I didn't feel like I was suffering.
Chen Cixiu took a deep breath, treating the reunion with his old friend as a happy occasion, and with a smile, bought the other dishes and went home.
After returning home, he started working in the kitchen.
Since I bought two chickens, I really have to make a whole chicken feast.
After asking President Jiang what time he would be back that evening and confirming that he would be home before 7 p.m., Chen Cixiu began cooking.
The meal was ready at 6:50.
Chen Cixiu wiped his hands clean, went to the balcony, touched the Ghost Girl outfit, and smiled after finding that he could wear it completely.
