"These twenty big meat buns, we'll take them with us and eat them on the way."
"I love the big meat buns at this state-run restaurant the most, I come here to eat often."
"I'm going to venture out into the world from now on, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back."
"Before I leave, I must eat my fill."
Ma Yiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Su is right. Eat up, eat up."
"I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to eat and would waste food."
Watching Su Qingci bury her head in her rice bowl and eat heartily without a care in the world.
Ma Yiyuan once suspected that he had encountered a swindler.
In just two days, he's already taken more than half of the cash he's swindled over the years.
Even if he were presented with the most delicious food, he would find it hard to eat.
Imported watches 588, bicycles 180, perfume 18, leather sandals 11, various snacks, face cream, hair oil...
Oh dear, his heart is aching.
He didn't realize until he calculated that the food, drinks, and other purchases he made over the past two days had cost him nearly a thousand yuan.
Ma Yiyuan remembers his biggest scam, which took him a whole month to trick an old woman, and he only made seven or eight hundred yuan.
That incident even resulted in a murder.
His vision gradually cleared.
When did I start to let my guard down around Xiao Su?
It was when she said with a look of surprise that she looked like one of her relatives.
Should we start with the limerick she recited?
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, what are you thinking about?"
Su Qingci opened her palm and waved it twice in front of Ma Yiyuan.
His face was full of worry.
"Eat quickly, we'll be on our way this afternoon, so make sure you eat your fill."
"By the way, where do we catch our ride? By train or by bus?"
"Can we put our bicycles up there?"
"And I dare not get a letter of introduction, otherwise my mom will definitely find out."
"Everything from now on is up to you."
Su Qingci looked at Ma Yiyuan with a trusting expression.
Her bright, curved eyes made people feel an instant sense of warmth and friendliness.
Listen to the other person proactively outlining their next steps.
The slight doubt that had just arisen in Ma Yiyuan vanished instantly.
Perhaps I was just imagining things.
The other person smiled naturally, spoke with a hint of excitement, and had a face full of anticipation for their upcoming journey.
There was even a hint of reluctance.
Those clear eyes told me she was an innocent young girl who had never experienced the ways of the world.
As for the expenses over the past few days, it only proves that the other party has a wealthy family background and a habit of spending money.
To be honest, after investing so much money, Ma Yiyuan had already considered retiring from the business once he had caught the big fish and keeping Su Qingci by his side.
When Ma Yideng picked up his chopsticks to start eating...
A plate of ten pork and tofu dishes has two left, a dish of pork head meat still has a quarter left, and a large bowl of three-delicacy soup is already half gone.
I can't understand it, with that little neck, pointed chin, and tiny body.
That's an incredible amount of food!
No, no, that won't do.
I need to get rid of this thing as soon as I leave. If I keep it for a month or two, all the work I've done over the past few years will have been for nothing.
Ma Yiyuan quickly shoveled rice into his mouth, no longer bothering to pretend to be polite.
He had no doubt that if he had been any slower, the other person's bowl would have been scraped clean.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Qingci waited at the door with 20 large meat buns in her arms.
A short while later, Ma Yiyuan emerged from some hidden corner and pushed his bicycle out.
"Let's go, Comrade Xiao Su, a wonderful life is beckoning to us."
"I'll take advantage of everyone being at work now and hurry home to get my things."
Su Qingci happily jumped onto the back of the bicycle and headed towards the textile factory's residential area.
Ma Yiyuan waited at the door for a while, and then saw Su Qingci come out carrying a rather large suitcase.
"So fast!"
Su Qingci nodded.
"Absolutely, let's hurry up and leave, lest we be seen by acquaintances."
Ma Yiyuan examined the bag in Su Qingci's hand.
"Didn't you say there was a safe?"
"I got the keys last night, and I've put everything in my bag."
"That thing is really heavy."
"Where are your 20 big meat buns?"
Su Qingci changed her expression, "I left them all at home. Consider this my last act of filial piety to my mother before I leave home."
"Hey~ let's go, Brother Ma, let's go get our stuff from you first."
When are we leaving? Do we need to buy tickets in advance?
Su Qingci sounded a little downcast.
The days of being entertained with food, drinks, and games, with someone to pamper you and make you feel good, really go by.
She was about to go back to the production team to harvest corn, so how could she be happy?
Ma Yiyuan suppressed his excitement, and the other party's dejected expression made him feel that everything was going perfectly.
He might be a little suspicious if the other party doesn't show any reluctance.
"Go to my place and wait for me while I go buy the tickets."
"We'll go to G City tonight."
The brand-new bicycle carried Su Qingci through a maze of turns, heading towards the old town to the east.
Su Qingci sat in the back seat, secretly scattering white lime towards the roadside.
The bike rode for almost fifteen minutes before stopping at an old guesthouse.
There was only an elderly man at the front desk serving hot water.
Ma Yiyuan gave a casual greeting and then led Su Qingci upstairs.
"Brother Ma, there's a new guesthouse in the north of the city, the conditions there are much better than this place, why are you staying in this shabby little place?"
"This is a tiny place that's about to be evacuated; how could it be worthy of your status?"
"Comrade Xiao Su, you don't understand this."
"Our great leader taught us to be diligent and thrifty, and not to be extravagant and wasteful."
