Chapter 123 Lantern Festival 1



"I'm already in talks. At present, the other party requires us to make samples first before considering whether to cooperate with us."

As soon as Song Shishi finished speaking, Uncle Zuo swallowed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth and asked calmly, "Who are you looking for? Is he reliable? Don't come back and not only don't make back your money, but also lose your clothes and design drafts."

"that……"

Song Shishi was still thinking about the wording, afraid that she might not say it well and cause trouble for Zuo Jin.

But just as she opened her mouth, she saw Master Zuo's eyes wide open and exclaimed: "What? Did I guess it right? Did you really find someone unreliable?"

"No." Song Shishi waved her hands repeatedly.

If she didn't explain it clearly, even Su Yaqin and Li Chengde would start to doubt her.

"Actually, it's your grandson, Zuo Jin."

"Who are you talking about? Whose grandson?"

...

...

Uncle Zuo was a little excited for a moment. Seeing that he was about to knock over the lunch box of dumplings at hand, Song Shishi quickly stepped forward and picked up the lunch box.

If the dumplings are spilled, the worst that can happen is that I can buy Uncle Zuo something else to eat.

But if it was knocked over, not only would the quilt he was covering himself with get dirty, but he might also get burned.

It is difficult for older people to recover, and burns are painful.

"Your grandson, Zuo Jin." Song Shishi repeated it while holding the lunch box and breathing a sigh of relief.

"Why are you asking that kid for help? What skills can a half-grown kid like him have?"

Uncle Zuo totally disagrees with Zuo Jin's ability and thinks Song Shishi is just a joke.

"Uncle Zuo, your grandson is very good and will be successful in the future. He lacks opportunities now, while we have talents. Isn't this just right?"

As she spoke, Song Shishi glanced at Su Yaqin and her husband again.

Fortunately, although they did not express their opinions, their expressions did not change, and it was obvious that they were not deceived by Uncle Zuo's words.

"Haven't you just met my grandson once? And you already know how good he is? You know about things that haven't happened yet. Do you think you're a prophet?"

"Grandpa, you were just eating the dumplings made by someone, why are you talking so harshly now?"

Although Uncle Zuo meant well, his words were indeed unpleasant to the ear. Moreover, the person he was talking about was Song Shishi, so Su Yaqin naturally felt uncomfortable.

She was about to speak, but was held back by Li Chengde. Now she couldn't help but want to stand up for Song Shishi.

"People say that people are soft-hearted when they receive favors from others. Although I am very grateful to you, you can't say that about my sister."

Grandpa Zuo laughed angrily and leaned back, "Hey, I haven't said anything yet, and you're already defending me? You don't want to worship the big Buddha, but go to worship the small Buddha."

"I……"

Su Yaqin wanted to explain, but Song Shishi grabbed her, shook her head at her, and signaled her not to continue.

Song Shishi turned her head, not paying any attention to what Uncle Zuo had just said to her. With a smile on her face, she put the lunch box in her hand back into Uncle Zuo's hands.

"Uncle Zuo, please don't bother with us youngsters. Although I am not a prophet, I think Zuo Jin is your beloved grandson, so there must be no problem with his character.

As for his abilities, I can only say that I am willing to believe in him.

And I want to ask, what you just said, do you mean that you actually have a way to help us?"

Uncle Zuo lowered his head and stared at the glutinous rice balls in his hand. Only after Song Shishi finished speaking did he look up at her.

"You are still smart."

Li Chengde saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he tried to smooth things over. "Old man, my wife is very straightforward. My sister has done us a favor, and my wife can't stand others saying anything bad about my sister. Please don't mind. If there is any offense, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Su Yaqin actually felt a little regretful the moment she finished speaking.

After Li Chengde finished speaking, he immediately bowed solemnly to Uncle Zuo to apologize, "I'm sorry, old man, I'm too impatient. You've worked hard to teach me this afternoon, and I was just too aggressive just now."

Grandpa Zuo wasn't really angry. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. You guys are talking back and forth. What else do you want me to say? Since you guys have been taking good care of me these days, I won't argue with you."

After saying that, he glanced at Song Shishi again and said, "Zuo Jin is still immature and doesn't understand many things. You can directly process and produce the clothes in your garment factory according to the drawings. I will help you with the rest."

After eating the dumplings, Uncle Zuo took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Li Chengde.

"You should be able to be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. When you have finished making the samples, contact this person and he will discuss the sale of the clothes with you."

With Uncle Zuo's intervention in this matter, Su Yaqin and her husband felt much more at ease.

Su Yaqin slapped her thigh and said to Grandpa Zuo, "Grandpa, when you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you to Xiangyang to play. There are a lot of delicious food there."

"Who will pay? I, an old man, have no money." Uncle Zuo glanced at Su Yaqin and said unhappily.

Su Yaqin didn't care and said with a smile: "If you come to Xiangyang, we will definitely entertain you. I will pay, not you."

Uncle Zuo snorted twice, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

Seeing that it was almost time, Song Shishi took Xu Li and Li Haoyang out of the hospital.

They also have to go to the lantern festival.

"Sister, isn't Brother Meng back? Aren't he and Xiaoqi going to the Lantern Festival with us?"

Before leaving the hospital, Xu Li thought of Meng Xunzhou and Meng Xiaoqi and asked curiously.

Song Shishi held Li Haoyang's hand and smiled without answering.

It was not until they walked out of the hospital and stood on the side of the road that she raised her chin towards the five figures on the side of the road and said, "Look, isn't it over there?"

Xu Li and Li Haoyang looked in the direction Song Shishi pointed and saw Meng Xunzhou, Meng Xiaoqi, Xu Qiang, Meng Yinting, and Lin Yaowen standing on the side of the road.

There were four bicycles parked next to them.

There were many people at the Lantern Festival, and it would be inconvenient to drive a car to visit the festival, so Meng Xunzhou and his friends decided to ride bicycles.

Lin Yaowen and Meng Yinting are husband and wife, so naturally they ride together.

When Meng Xiaoqi saw Song Shishi and the others, she immediately raised her hands.

"Sister Shishi, this way."

"Ah, my brother is here too."

Xu Li was quite surprised to see Xu Qiang was there too.

Xu Qiang had said before that he was busy and might not be able to spend the Lantern Festival with her, so the closer the Lantern Festival got, the more Xu Li felt lost.

She ran up quickly and took Xu Qiang's arm.

The little mouth kept chattering to Xu Qiang about what had happened around her recently.

Especially now that she is learning a craft from Qiao Yanxin.

Song Shishi took Li Haoyang's hand and walked towards them slowly.

"If I had known you guys were riding bicycles, I would have ridden my bicycle out this afternoon as well."

Xu Li could have sat behind Xu Qiang, but she was with Li Haoyang.

"Sister Shishi, we have four bicycles, which is enough." Meng Xiaoqi was very excited and looked like she couldn't wait to set off.

"Xiaoqi, how about you let me ride this bike, I'll take care of Xiaobao, and you can let your brother take you."

When Meng Xiaoqi heard this, she couldn't help but look at her elder brother Meng Xunzhou.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Meng Xiaoqi waved her hand and said loudly, "That won't work. My mother finally agreed to let me ride my bike out."

Meng Xiaoqi thought of her eldest brother's instructions before leaving, so she turned away and deliberately avoided looking at Song Shishi and Li Haoyang.

She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, but she also didn't want Song Shishi to think that she was unkind, so she said, "Why don't I take care of this kid? I ride a bike very steadily."

Song Shishi was in a dilemma. She lowered her head to look at Li Haoyang, then squatted down and looked at Li Haoyang at eye level.

She held Li Haoyang in her arms and asked softly, "Xiaobao, are you willing to ride in this aunt's car?"

Li Haoyang's eyes swept over several people. He nervously pulled Song Shishi's hand and shook his head at her.

He doesn't want to.

Ever since he was almost kidnapped by a thief last time, Li Haoyang has been very afraid of strangers.

Song Shishi didn't want to let Li Haoyang down, so she stood up and looked at Meng Xunzhou.

"I think I should..."
