Chapter 17 It's Just a Little Hot



I don’t know if it’s because it’s a little hot in the kitchen, but my cheeks actually felt a little hot.

When I turned around, I saw Zhou Baide walking towards me.

He curled his lips slightly and said indifferently, "You're a step too late, there's no more!"

Zhou Baide narrowed his eyes, walked over and lifted the white quilt covering the back of the tricycle, "Aren't there still a few left? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Chaofa took a look, walked over and said coldly, "I bought it, are you trying to snatch it from me?"

She turned her head to look at him, then laughed twice in mockery, "Tsk! You're really protective of her, kid. Then why don't you help pay off her debt as well?"

Then I saw a handsome young man standing in his yard, with a puzzled look on his face. He asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"If you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, you should also consider your own worth!"

She frowned, not knowing what he meant by that. She asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? What debt do you owe?"

Seeing that he didn't know, she suddenly felt amused and grinned, "Oh, you didn't even know that the Lin family owed a loan shark?"

"Aren't you two on good terms?"

She turned her head to look at him, then laughed twice in mockery, "Tsk! You're really protective of her, kid. Then why don't you help pay off her debt as well?"

"Zhou Baide, what are you talking about?"

Then he quickly turned to look at Zhou Chaofa and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. My family is in debt, but we will pay it back soon."

Although she said so, Zhou Chaofa still felt a little strange.

But I didn't plan to ask in detail, so I nodded and said, "That's good."

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a little hot in the kitchen, but my cheeks actually felt a little hot.

After he finished speaking, he packed the steamed buns in the car and put the money in the car. "These are not enough. Remember to leave more for me next time."

That’s pretty good, Lin Qiaoxin thought.

Lin Qiaoxin immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely leave more for you next time." After that, she turned around and rode away on her bike.

So Zhou Chaofa followed her into the kitchen out of curiosity. Sure enough, he saw a few purple fragrant rice buns and some white cakes on the stove. "A dozen fragrant rice buns, and some peach blossom cakes."

Zhou Baide wanted to chase after her, but Zhou Chaofa was staring at him. He kept hesitating whether to chase after her. As a result, after a while, he couldn't even see Lin Qiaoxin's figure, so he had to give up.

The next afternoon, Zhou Chaofa was still standing at the intersection waiting for Lin Qiaoxin, and saw her coming.

A light flashed in his eyes, and he walked over and said, "Well, you better not come to Zhouzhuang to sell steamed buns in the future. I can help you sell them."

"If you come here often, you'll definitely see Zhou Baide often. Even though he wouldn't dare do anything to you, he'd still find you annoying, right?"

I didn't expect him to say that, and I was very grateful. "Thank you, but that's too much trouble. Besides, you still have to go to school every day, right?"

With his hands in his trouser pockets, he lowered his head and coughed lightly, "No trouble, summer vacation is coming soon, and I have nothing to do anyway, so I have plenty of time."

"And if Grandma knew I was helping you, she would be happy too."

"You are truly filial."

Then an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, so he hesitated for a moment and said.

"But I don't want you to help me for free. How about this? You buy a few steamed buns and I'll give you the wholesale price. You can sell them as you like. How about that?"

Zhou Chaofa thought this was a good way to help her, so he nodded without hesitation, "Okay, that's fine too."

I didn't expect him to agree so quickly. After all, his family conditions were not very good. He only had one grandmother, and he had to go to school. It was conceivable that his family didn't have much money.

But then he thought again, if he could make money from selling the steamed buns, it would be considered an income.

Then I saw a handsome young man standing in his yard, with a puzzled look on his face. He asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Okay, then come to my house after summer vacation to get some steamed buns and pastries. Otherwise, you're in a hurry now."

She turned her head to look at him, then laughed twice in mockery, "Tsk! You're really protective of her, kid. Then why don't you help pay off her debt as well?"

Zhou Chaofa also agrees with this.

So when summer vacation started a few days later, he prepared to go to Lin Qiaoxin's house to wholesale steamed buns.

It takes about half an hour to ride a bike from Zhouzhuang to Beiqiao Village.

When he arrived outside Lin Qiaoxin's house, he took a deep breath and then walked in. "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Huang Qiulian, who was sewing clothes in the room, hurried out when she heard this.

Then I saw a handsome young man standing in his yard, with a puzzled look on his face. He asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Chaofa smiled slightly, then slowly said, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Zhou Chaofa, and I'm Lin Qiaoxin's friend. We agreed to come to your house to buy steamed buns."

At this time, Lin Qiaoxin, who was making pastries in the kitchen, heard the noise coming from outside, and quickly clapped her hands and walked out.

Seeing Zhou Chaofa, he felt a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"I'm still making it. I just finished a pot. I'll give you as much as you want."

So Zhou Chaofa followed her into the kitchen out of curiosity. Sure enough, he saw a few purple fragrant rice buns and some white cakes on the stove. "A dozen fragrant rice buns, and some peach blossom cakes."
