Chapter 99: Sadness and Joy
"Huh, no one went out, I'm glad everything's OK."
"Yeah, I was still worried when I knocked on the door!"
"Suning, are you scared?"
"stop!"
Knowing that they were also worried about her, Su Ning's anger suddenly dissipated. When two people spoke at the same time, she really didn't know who to answer.
I had to interrupt them loudly, and after they both shut up, I picked up one of their questions and quickly replied, "I got up this morning and started busy in the kitchen. I didn't go out."
"Why are you two here when the bridge has collapsed?"
"Of course it's to make sure you're safe and spend the holidays with you!"
"We went around most of the ancient city, right?"
"Hey, it's nothing. I've already run 20 kilometers with weights. It's no big deal!"
Yan Bei looked at the two of them talking one after another and pinched his brows. Although he felt a little tired, when he looked at her, doting unconsciously emerged in his eyes.
"Comrades, do we have to stand in front of the gate in the rain and chat?"
"Hahahaha, does it seem a bit silly?"
Su Ning, who had just reacted, smiled and said, "I forgot about that. Come in first, Director Fu, Engineer Yan."
"Hey you…"
“Ningning!”
"Well, sister-in-law?"
He just turned sideways to let the two people enter the door first, and immediately turned his head when he heard a familiar call.
Zhang Ze's wife Tian Xiang was seen walking towards him with a large bowl in one hand, her neck tilted, an umbrella between her legs, and a big smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
The top of the bowl was filled with fried meatballs of all kinds, and the other one was filled with mooncakes the size of half a bowl, stacked up on top of each other, at least seven or eight of them.
"Your brother Zhang said..."
When she got closer, she saw two big men standing at the door behind her. Tian Xiang stopped talking abruptly.
He looked at the two men carefully: they were both tall and strong, with regular features and clear eyes.
Well, they all look like nice guys!
"I'd like to let you taste what our mooncakes taste like, and the fried meatballs you said were delicious last time. This time we have not only the vegetarian meatballs you like, but also meatballs. Try them and see if they suit your taste!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law. It's a good opportunity for you to bring some mooncakes I made to Brother Zhang and the others. Wait for me, sister-in-law!"
Nodding to Fu Jiaming and Yan Bei, Suning quickly rushed into the yard and brought out a plate of Cantonese mooncakes and a plate of mixed pastries from the kitchen.
At the same time, he was tactful, but Yan Bei took the lead and opened his umbrella and strode forward, "Suning, bring me a plate."
He handed him a plate, and the two of them returned to the gate under the same umbrella.
Tian Xiang, who had no choice but to accept the gift, seemed to see the hesitation in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ningning, it's just a short walk away. It's no problem. You don't have to send me off. We have guests at home!"
"Let's go, let's go in and don't get wet in the rain."
"Then sister-in-law, please slow down and watch the road carefully."
"Sister-in-law, you are already so old, how can you still fall? Haha, that's enough, go back!"
The two houses were not far away from each other. Seeing that Tian Xiang didn't seem to have any inconvenience holding the umbrella, Suning nodded and said "OK" to her, but he didn't move.
"Suning, I'll go."
He glanced over, and Fu Jiaming, who immediately understood what he meant, said with a smile, and ran to her side quickly to take the plate from her hand, "Sister-in-law, I'll give it to you!"
"How can that be possible? Guests are coming..."
"Hey, we are very good friends with Suning, sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite, let's go or she might be worried about me following her!"
"Thank you, young man."
It was hard to have an awkward atmosphere when meeting someone as outspoken as Fu Jiaming. Before they had even walked far, they heard Mrs. Tian laughing out loud because she was so amused.
"Suning, let's go in first. Just leave the door open for Jiaming and let Xiao Yuanzi watch over him."
"What do you mean by little dumplings? They are little circles."
"Okay, small circle."
"Puff~"
Suning thought that this person was deliberately making fun of him, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't realize it at this time.
Yan Bei has always been smart and is especially good at memorizing and applying various formulas, but when it comes to remembering names of people, places, and other names that don't require much attention, it only takes a second for them to pass and they are forgotten as soon as they pass.
So there was a reason why both the compound and the factory said that he didn't know how to be gentle with women and was so cruel to them.
It’s understandable that you don’t remember someone’s face after meeting them once or twice, but it’s understandable that you can’t remember their name after knowing them for a year or two or even many years…
This is really too much, especially since there are many beautiful girls who admire him and are gossipy, which makes his reputation more and more solid.
"I got it."
"What?"
"Guanyin bamboo."
As he spoke, he raised his hand towards her and looked at the improved version of the bracelet.
She frowned as if she was not very satisfied with her craftsmanship and said: I'll go back and try to turn it into a necklace.
"Why? Don't you like it?"
"No, it's just that such a pendant is not suitable for carrying around and I'm afraid of losing it... I made it into a bracelet and I don't think it matches it well."
"I see. Let me help you change the pendant."
"May I?"
His eyes suddenly lit up and he looked a little impatient, so I guess he really likes it.
It was natural to feel good when one's kindness was appreciated, and Suning nodded with a smile.
There are ready-made tools in the yard, and it is not difficult to change it into a pendant. "It's very simple. I will help you do it in a moment."
"good."
Completely satisfied, Yan Bei followed her and sat down on the straw mat under the porch, then handed her the bag he had been holding in his other hand.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Suning."
"happy holidays."
Just as they, as friends, were generous in accepting gifts, now she had also learned not to refuse in a polite and awkward manner.
I took the bag and opened it at his glance. There were two boxes inside, one large and one small.
The larger one contained a pocket watch with fine workmanship and unique patterns. Both the necklace and the pocket watch were made of pure gold.
Press it gently and you will find that the numbers inside are inlaid with small diamonds. It seems that this pocket watch will be sparkling from the inside out in the sun.
In another small box was a thin-strap silver-white mechanical watch. She liked the unique design and color of the dial at first sight.
"like?"
"Yes, I like it very much."
Although he knew that she was talking about the watch, Yan Bei's heart still beat uncontrollably.
I didn't notice the flash of joy in his eyes.
Nodding his head affirmatively, Su Ning guessed that such a shiny pocket watch must have been given by the discerning Fu Jiaming. As for this mechanical watch...
Thinking of what Fu Jiaming had mentioned last time, he guessed, "Could it be that you did it yourself?"
"Um."
Since she was so thoughtful, his return gift naturally could not be careless. Just for this watch, Fu Jiaming went to see him early in the morning and waited for more than three or four hours.
This delayed their arrival and inadvertently avoided the time when the bridge collapsed.
"I'm back!"
Fu Jiaming shouted loudly and ran into the yard. He caught a glimpse of the opened gift box on the table, and suddenly an obscene smile appeared on his face.
"Suning, since you have already seen them, which gift do you like best?"
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Don't change the subject, tell me now!"
"If I really have to choose, I will definitely choose watches."
"Why?!"
"Don't ask."
Taking the lead and walking towards the kitchen, Suning's voice came slowly, "Just give me another 30 years. I will like this watch when I am old. Let's go and eat first before the food gets cold."
"No, Yan Qi, wait a minute, what does Su Ning mean by this?"
Yan Bei paused and smiled silently, his raised mouth corners showing his good mood, "No matter what it means, remember to fulfill the bet you made and the proposal you made."
“I really knocked!”
He waved his fist at the back of his head in indignation, then followed the two of them with a sullen look in annoyance: Why did he have to make a bet for no reason? Now he's got himself into trouble!
Three months of stinky socks!!
Fortunately, bad mood can be cured by delicious food. When Fu Jiaming entered the kitchen and saw the table full of delicious food, he immediately forgot about the bet.
But when she realized that they hadn't arrived yet and there were four sets of bowls and chopsticks on her table, she stopped teasing.
"Wait for me to remove it and replace it with a new one for you."
"I'll help you..." "I'll help you..."
"Okay, both guests, please take a seat. The meal will be served quickly. You two don't need to help."
…
At the same time, the Gaoyunqiao River in Lishui has been blocked from upstream to downstream.
After more than an hour of rescue, there was still no result. Those who were missing and could not be contacted at the riverside homes could not stop crying.
Until a series of loud bangs made everyone stop what they were doing, with horror in their eyes.
