Beijing Railway Station is as bustling as ever. People pass by each other, their faces showing fatigue from the long journey, but also yearning and expectation for the country's capital. It is complex yet so reasonable.
In the square outside the train station, every few steps there is a small vendor selling things from his stall with enthusiastic smiles on his face.
Now is not so strict behind-the-scenes, it is a great time to set up a stall if you want to. As long as you are willing to work hard and are not afraid of hard work, most people can take advantage of this reform and opening-up and make their first pot of gold.
Su Nan was wearing a gray sweater, a hat on her head, and a white mask covering her delicate and pretty little face.
The temperature difference between morning and evening in this season is huge. Su Nan's hands were already cold after standing outside for a while. He raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. Seeing that there were still a few minutes before the train arrived, he set his eyes on the vendors behind him.
There are people selling roasted sweet potatoes, tea eggs, hot sugar water, and clothes...
There are even live chickens and ducks for sale!!
There is everything you can think of, nothing you can't buy here.
Su Nan rubbed his hands, hesitated for a moment, and then walked up to the lady selling roasted sweet potatoes. Before he could decide which one to buy, he was startled by the sudden quacking of ducks from the stall next door.
"Quack, quack, quack." The duck calls that came one after another were particularly harsh.
"Go away, stop making noise." The old lady pointed at the ducks with the tongs she was using to pick up sweet potatoes and cursed them. Perhaps the ducks sensed her power, so they retracted their long necks and actually lowered their quacking voices.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, looked at the stunned Su Nan, and said with a smile: "This group of ducks is like this, when they see a pretty girl, they quack non-stop, hehehe."
That's a really clever thing to say. Any young woman would be happy to hear it, right? No wonder the old lady's business is so brisk. Who wouldn't want to meet a sweet-talking shop owner when shopping?
"Girl, have you chosen which one you want? They're only fifty cents each, and if they're not sweet, you don't have to pay."
Hearing this, Su Nan looked at Auntie Qi, put on a gentle smile, pointed at one of the good-looking sweet potatoes, and said, "Then I want this one."
"Okay." The old lady picked up the sweet potato with tongs, wrapped it in oil paper, and handed it to Su Nan.
Su Nan reached out to take it, but she didn't expect it to be so hot and almost dropped the sweet potato on the ground. The old lady Mingming held it in her hand without even changing her expression.
Seeing this, the old lady took the sweet potato back and asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Oh, it's my fault for not reminding you that it's very hot right out of the oven."
"I'm fine, I'm not burned." Su Nan subconsciously rubbed his fingertips and covered his earlobes.
"Then leave it here for a while. Eat it when it's not so hot anymore." The old lady put the sweet potato on the table beside her. Then she looked at Su Nan and asked curiously, "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Beijing, does it?"
"Yes, I'm from Shanghai and came here to study." Su Nan answered with a smile, taking out money from his pocket and handing it to the old lady.
"Oh, you came so far to go to school? It's university, right? You're really amazing, girl." The old lady took the money, gave Su Nan a thumbs up, and then gave her the corresponding amount of change.
Su Nan smiled and said nothing.
"Then why are you coming to the train station so early? The weather is very cold. If you are not in a hurry, come and warm yourself by the fire. There are benches here." The old lady patted the small wooden stool beside her and greeted warmly.
Su Nan looked at his watch and saw that Zhou Rang's train had just arrived at the station and it would probably take a while for it to leave the station, so he sat down.
"Thank you, I'm here to pick someone up."
When the little hands were warmed by the fire, all the coldness in the body was removed and warmth swept over the whole body.
"You're welcome." The old lady waved her hand nonchalantly, then added, "Picking someone up? Then make sure you pay close attention to the exit. Don't miss them. It's hard to find them in such a big place."
"Yeah, so I've been watching." Su Nanxian liked the atmosphere of chatting with the aunt, which was both relaxed and down-to-earth.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Nan stood up and returned to the place where he had just stood, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the crowd walking out.
But for some reason, Su Nan's eyes were almost dazzled, but he couldn't find Zhou Rang.
There are so many tall people in the north and they all wear the same old clothes. It's really hard to find someone like them.
He looked at his watch and saw that ten minutes had passed since Zhou Rang's train arrived. Su Nan couldn't help but feel anxious and frowned slightly.
Just when she was getting anxious, someone patted her shoulder.
Su Nan looked back suddenly, but saw no one. The corners of his mouth, which had just raised, were suppressed again. But the next second, a light cough with a smile came from behind him.
"Zhou Rang, you're so annoying. You only know how to tease me." Su Nan turned around angrily and punched him directly on the shoulder, but it didn't hurt. Instead, it felt like she was being coquettish.
Zhou Rang stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, his warm palm pressed tightly against her slender waist, and the burning thoughts were transmitted to her through the thin knitted fabric.
"Nannan, I miss you." Zhou Rang's low and deep voice sounded in her ears, making her eyes red.
Su Nan hugged Zhou Rang tightly and said in a tearful voice, "I miss you too."
The two had not seen each other for more than a month since they last parted, and their longing for each other reached its peak when they met at this moment.
"Let's go home." Zhou Rang patted Su Nan's shoulder and slowly said this.
Su Nan left Zhou Rang's embrace, nodded, then shook her head, pointed in one direction, and whispered to him, "I still have something over there."
"Hmm?" Zhou Rang looked in the direction Su Nan pointed and asked in confusion.
Su Nan took Zhou Rang's sleeve and walked towards the roasted sweet potato stall. After taking back her own sweet potato, she bought another one for Zhou Rang.
"The girl's boyfriend is really energetic. No wonder he came here so early in the morning to pick her up." The old lady looked at the two of them with satisfaction. They were a perfect match, not bad at all.
Su Nan scratched his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed by the old lady's blunt words. On the other hand, Zhou Rang had a frank expression, even a little smug?!
At this time, the ducks next to them were quacking excitedly, which successfully attracted the attention of Zhou Rang and Su Nan.
"Shall we have some duck soup tonight?" As the family's personal chef, Zhou Rang squatted down and carefully looked at the ducks locked in the cage.
"These are all raised at home. They are delicious when stewed in soup or stir-fried." The owner of the duck stall saw that Zhou Rang wanted to buy some and quickly spoke up.
"It looks good. Nannan, do you want to eat it?" Zhou Rang looked up at Su Nan, naturally seeking the opinion of the hostess of the house.
Su Nan looked at the duck stall owner and Zhou Rangre's gaze, curled his lips, and suddenly felt a huge pressure.
"Then buy it."
