After seeing the front, the two walked around Tiananmen Square hand in hand; they stopped only when night was approaching.
Yan Rushan looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, shall we go finish our meal?"
"Okay." They turned their eyes away from the building. They actually didn't do anything fun this afternoon; they had almost used up all their time just walking around.
Yan Rushan waved his hand, and Haonan and Tian Shangguo came over.
"Comrade Yan, Comrade Zhong, are you going back?"
"Well, it's getting late, let's go have dinner first." Yan Rushan held the camera in one hand and held his sweetheart's hand in the other, walking towards the car.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo followed closely behind, standing in different positions in order to better protect Zhong Yuxiu.
When they arrived at the car, Yan Rushan opened the door and stuffed the person in first. He followed closely behind and then handed the camera to the guard.
"Go to Quanjude, take your camera back and have it developed as soon as possible."
"Okay, Comrade Yan Rushan." The guard took it and put it aside. He waited for Haonan and Tian Shangguo to come in, closed the car door, and then drove away.
Yan Rushan glanced sideways and said, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, I'll send the photos to you after they're developed."
"Okay." They went out for fun today and took some photos. They could develop these photos to keep as a collection or show off to the guard company and others.
There are a lot of people coming and going outside Quanjude, even at night there are still many people; even if they don’t have roast duck, they still have other dishes.
Zhong Yuxiu invited the guard Xiao Wang to come down with her, but Xiao Wang refused to go. Finally, seeing this, Yan Rushan pulled Zhong Yuxiu away.
"Just pack him a portion after we eat."
"Okay then." Zhong Yuxiu nodded awkwardly. She felt bad that the other person had worked hard with them for most of the day and was unwilling to have a meal with them.
Yan Rushan walked to the counter and pointed out the box number, then was led into the box. The furnishings in the box were not very exquisite, but it was very suitable for this special era to be authentic, red and professional.
"Please bring up all the dishes I ordered, starting with the roast duck." Yan Rushan spoke, and the staff nodded in agreement, then turned and left. He came back a moment later with a plate of sliced roast duck, dipping sauce, and side dishes, including a pot of bone soup made from the roast duck bones.
"Eat it all, you're welcome." Yan Rushan picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her. He then picked up a slice of roast duck, wrapped it in a soft pancake, added dipping sauce, toppings, and vegetables, rolled it up, and handed it to her. "Eat as much as you want. I've reserved two, which is enough for us."
Zhong Yuxiu then ate without hesitation. She undoubtedly liked the roast duck.
Other dishes were served one after another, but Zhong Yuxiu still loved the roast duck the most. It was chewy and fragrant, and tasted even better when paired with dipping sauces and other ingredients. For example, it tasted even better with cucumber shreds wrapped in it, which was crisp and refreshing.
After the meal, the group of four not only finished the whole roast duck, but also finished the side dishes and soup; the remaining roast duck was packed up and taken away.
When they got in the car, Zhong Yuxiu slumped in the chair and Yan Rushan gave her his shoulder to lean on.
"If you like it so much, I'll bring you here next time."
"It's okay to come here once in a while, but it's not worth it if you come here often." Zhong Yuxiu shook her head indifferently. "Roast duck is delicious, but you should only eat it occasionally. If you eat it often, you will get tired of it. Our Goudan cooks pretty good food too."
Yan Rushan chuckled softly, a low, muffled laugh, his chest rising and falling.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's come and eat here once in a while."
Being coaxed, it was quite pleasant to the ear. Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Let's go home. I'm a little sleepy."
"Take a nap first." Yan Rushan raised his head and looked ahead. "Xiao Wang, it's time to go home."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, turned around and handed the roast duck that Yan Rushan had packed to the guard Xiao Wang in front of her. "Guard Wang, thank you for your hard work today. We haven't eaten this roast duck before. We brought it out especially for you as a token of our gratitude."
"No, no." Xiao Wang waved his hands hurriedly and drove forward in a panic.
Zhong Yuxiu placed the things next to him and said, "We need them. You drove us for half a day. We asked you to dine with us before, but you didn't want to. You didn't eat dinner either. You can take the roast duck back and have a bite with it."
"No need, I can eat it when I get back."
"It's getting dark now. The old man must have eaten. There's nothing to eat if you go back. Okay, stop pushing it away. I'm tired after a day and I want to take a nap." Zhong Yuxiu shrank back and then leaned on Yan Rushan, squinting her eyes and pretending to sleep.
Xiao Wang looked back in the mirror and saw that the man was indeed sleeping with his eyes closed. He glanced helplessly at the thing at hand; it was obviously roast duck. Following the old man, he had seen a lot of the world and could understand things that he should understand at a glance.
His monthly salary can't even buy five roast ducks, which shows how expensive they are.
How could he possibly take such an expensive item? He would give it to Haonan and the others when he got off the bus.
After entering the compound, Xiao Wang sent the people home. After they got off the car, he also took the oil-paper package containing the roast duck and walked down. He wanted to give it directly to Haonan, but Haonan was not stupid. As soon as the people walked up to him, he avoided them and talked to them.
"Comrade Wang, please don't hurt me."
How did it harm people?
Xiao Wang was puzzled and said, "I can't accept it."
"Then you take it to Comrade Yan and Comrade Zhong and see if they will accept it." Hao Nan turned around coldly and walked to Zhong Yuxiu's side.
Xiao Wang looked at Tian Shangguo again, but unfortunately, Tian Shangguo turned his head away and said, "Don't look at me. I'm not the one who makes the decision."
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan watched the whole thing, shaking their heads and laughing. "Comrade Wang, please keep it. There's no need to push it back and forth. It's embarrassing and hurtful. I told you before, you've worked hard all day, so this is a reward. If you push it again, we won't dare ask you for help next time."
"This..." Xiao Wang hesitated.
Yan Rushan said, "Keep it. Go back first and tell Grandpa I'll be back soon."
"Yes." Xiao Wang put his legs together and saluted subconsciously.
"Let's go inside. It's cold outside." Yan Rushan didn't look at anyone else. He took Zhong Yuxiu's hand and walked towards the house. When they arrived at the door, Zhong Yuxiu unlocked it and the two pushed the door open and went in.
"Comrade Wang, please go back quickly. It's getting late."
Haonan said this hurriedly and left. Tian Shangguo followed him and they entered the gate one after the other.
The lights in the Zhong family's small building came on, instantly casting a layer of dim light on the surrounding area; the dim yellow light in the house was like daylight. Zhong Yuxiu sat down on the sofa and sighed comfortably.
"It's still comfortable at home."
Yan Rushan's eyes froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I'll take you to the Great Wall when I have time."
"Besides, you've been tired all day, go home and take a shower and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow, and you're a busy person, so you need to rest and don't neglect your health." Zhong Yuxiu murmured unconsciously, "You can do as much as you want when you're young, but you'll suffer when you're old."
