"Let me introduce you all. These are my four daughters, and this is your Sister Li's son."
The employees weren't blind. Seeing that Su Zhengshan's four daughters were dressed smartly and looked very expensive, they knew that Su Zhengshan's true identity was probably not that of a laid-off worker.
"Oh, Brother Su, so you weren't a laid-off worker after all? Then you were lying to Sister Li and to all of us, you're a big liar!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Su, you're a big liar. We even spoke well of you to Sister Li back then."
"Alright, alright, Mu Qing, send these aunties a red envelope. They're practically matchmakers for me and your Aunt Li."
Su Muqing quickly took out several stacks of money.
"I'm sorry, ladies, I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare any red envelopes, so I'll just give you money instead."
Su Muqing gave each of them a stack of money.
"Brother Su is great, we didn't misjudge him."
"Yes, Lao Su, your daughters are truly enviable; they are all very beautiful."
"Hey! Are you going to weigh the apples I bought or not? If not, I'm leaving!"
"Weigh it! Brother Su, what would you like to eat? Help yourselves, we're busy."
"Alright, we just came here to say hello and catch up. We'll be leaving now so as not to bother you any longer."
"Then you guys go ahead and have some fun, Brother Su. We're busy now. Come visit us anytime!"
"Alright, you can go now."
"Dad, you get along really well with the employees at Aunt Li's shop."
"Of course! Being close to them makes it easier to get close. If you get along well with them and whisper in their ears a lot, your Aunt Li will end up with me, won't she?"
"Wow, Dad, I never knew you had such a knack for chasing women!"
"Using such underhanded tactics, if I had known you were so cunning, I shouldn't have agreed to your request in the first place."
"Xiaolian, all I did was so that we could be together, and I didn't do anything immoral."
"I wonder who owns this fruit shop now. I really want to finish this busy period and go back to the fruit shop."
Su Zhengshan also seems to have a special feeling for this place.
“Sure, after our honeymoon we’ll come back here. The old house isn’t far from here, we’ll stay there.”
"Who owns that fruit shop? We need to buy it first!"
"Aunt Li, I think my dad bought this fruit shop a long time ago."
“No one knows a father better than his daughter. That’s right, Mu Qing is right. I bought this place a long time ago. This is the place where our love was witnessed. I definitely have to keep it as a memento.”
"That's right, otherwise, this place would be exactly the same as before, with no changes."
"Dad, please stop making us eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). If this keeps up, I'll start wanting to date too."
"You're still young, what are you talking about dating? Your three older sisters aren't even in a hurry yet, why are you in such a rush?"
"I'm an adult, why can't I date? And you're all urging Xinghe to date, now that it's my turn, why can't I?"
"How can that be the same? Xinghe is a boy. Girls always suffer when it comes to dating. You're not allowed to date. The boys I meet at school these days are all unreliable. You should wait a few more years before dating."
"Dad, does that mean Xinghe is unreliable?"
"How can Xinghe be the same? I know Xinghe's character and way of doing things."
"Yeah, but Dad, you can't just dismiss all other boys. Maybe there are boys who are even better than Xinghe."
"Yes, there is, but you're not allowed to date me right now! Look at your older sisters, aren't they worried about this?"
"Dad, I know, aren't you indirectly urging my eldest and second eldest sisters to find boyfriends soon?"
"You're so quick-witted!" Su Zhengshan said irritably.
"Hehe, Dad, don't you think so? You just want my older sisters to find boyfriends."
"You're so smart! But Mu Qing, Zhi Lan, you two are at the age where you should be looking for boyfriends."
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry. I'm too busy at work."
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry. Right now, I just want to focus on my work."
"Alright, let's just go at your pace. Let's go, let's continue exploring."
Before they had gone far, Su Ke'er saw something, her eyes lit up, and she ran to Wang Xinghe's side.
"Little brother Xinghe, I want to eat candied hawthorn."
"If you want candied hawthorns, then buy some."
"If I want you to buy it, I'll just say you want to eat it, okay?"
"Fourth Sister, I don't want to eat."
"No! You want to eat it! Have you forgotten? You just said you would make it up to me."
"Is this the compensation you wanted?"
"This is just one of the compensations; you should go buy it quickly."
"Alright, Fourth Sister, I've realized I'm just your errand boy."
"Mom, Uncle Su, would you like some candied hawthorn?"
“We don’t want to eat them, Xinghe. Do you want some? I’ll go buy some for you, one for each of you five siblings.”
"Hurry up, Xinghe, I want to eat strawberries," Su Ke'er urged Wang Xinghe.
"Mom, no need, I'll go buy it."
Wang Xinghe arrived at the old man selling candied hawthorns.
"Boss, give me five skewers of candied hawthorns."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Before long, Wang Xinghe returned with five strings of candied hawthorns.
"Hehe, little brother Xinghe, this is great, I haven't had this in so long." Su Ke'er happily accepted the strawberry candied hawthorn.
"Ke'er, is this something you wanted to eat, so you asked Xinghe to buy it?"
"No, I didn't. It was Xinghe who wanted to eat it."
"When Wang Xinghe handed it to Su Xuanyu, Su Xuanyu refused, saying that she didn't like sweets."
"That's great, you can let me eat them all. Xinghe, can you hold these for me? I'll eat these after I finish my strawberries."
"Fourth Sister, be careful. Half of your face is showing now. Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
Su Ke'er didn't care about any of that. The sweet and sour candied hawthorn made her happy and she took little steps in place.
"Delicious! Delicious! Grandpa, your candied hawthorns are so delicious! Third Sister, don't you want to try some? They're really good!"
"Hey! Young lady, you have good taste! My old shop has been selling candied hawthorns since my grandfather's generation. These are the candied hawthorns that the emperor himself ate! Look at my signboard, it says 'Number One in the World!'"
Su Ke'er was amused by the old man selling candied hawthorns.
"Grandpa, your candied hawthorns are delicious, and you're such a funny person!"
"Little girl, you're not only pretty but also have a sweet tongue. Is it because you ate my candied hawthorn?"
"What a coincidence, Junior Wang, you're here too." Wang Xinghe felt the voice was familiar; their attention had just been on the old man selling candied hawthorns.
Wang Xinghe turned his head and was surprised to find Shen Lanruo already standing beside him.
"It's Senior Shen, long time no see."
This was the first time we had met since Wang Xinghe's interview.
