After Jiang Yanqing left, she went straight to the state-owned hotel. When she was almost there, she saw Fang Mingxiao waiting at the door from a distance with a small package at his feet.
When they got closer, Jiang Yanqing quickly pulled Fang Mingxiao towards the state-owned restaurant, muttering, "Fang Mingxiao, are you stupid? Can't you find a cooler place to wait for me? It's so hot, are you made of iron..."
Fang Mingxiao replied without any annoyance, "I just arrived too. I was worried you wouldn't be able to find me, so I stood here to be more conspicuous."
"I think you're embarrassing yourself. You're sweating so much on your head that you think I can't see it, right? Let me tell you, if you do this again in the future, I'll be angry and ignore you."
Although it was an accusation, Fang Mingxiao was not angry at all. He had never felt this way since his grandfather passed away.
As for his deceased mother, Fang Mingxiao thought that perhaps all she had in her heart was her short and hypocritical love!
If I had the chance again, I would still choose to stand in the sun at the door, not for anything else, just to be able to see the person I want to see at a glance.
But seeing Jiang Yanqing's unfriendly gaze, Fang Mingxiao nodded obediently and promised, "I understand. I won't do it again."
Jiang Yanqing finally stopped talking with satisfaction. The two of them went into a state-owned restaurant. It was too hot to eat anything, and they happened to have sour soup wontons, all freshly made. Jiang Yanqing asked Fang Mingxiao for his opinion and ordered two bowls.
After finding an empty table and sitting down, Jiang Yanqing took off her schoolbag and put it aside. She glanced at the package Fang Mingxiao had just put down and asked, "Have you bought all the herbs you need?"
Fang Mingxiao nodded. "I've basically bought everything. I'll come back for more when I run out. How about you? Have you agreed on the deal?"
Jiang Yanqing put her elbows on the table, resting her chin on her hand, and replied helplessly, "Not yet, but it's okay. If she doesn't want to cooperate, I'll do it myself. It's just a little troublesome at best."
Fang Mingxiao asked thoughtfully, "How can I help you?"
Jiang Yanqing was staring at Fang Mingxiao's face at this moment. The boy had a fair and clean face without a single pimple. Even if he sweated in the summer, there were only some water stains on his face. It was shiny but not greasy.
The strands of hair on his forehead were slightly wet with sweat, concealing some of the boy's immaturity. In short, this face was created according to Jiang Yanqing's wishes.
"Why are you so beautiful?" Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but ask what was on her mind, without hearing Fang Mingxiao's question at all.
As soon as the words came out, Fang Mingxiao's face froze slightly, and then the outer contours of his ears flushed slightly. He lowered his head and drank a sip of water as if nothing had happened before answering, "You like it?"
The voice was deep and seemed to contain some temptation. Jiang Yanqing almost lost her senses, but before the words came out of her mouth, she regained her sanity.
He cleared his throat and replied, "Just focus on studying medicine. When you become a famous doctor and have many patients seeking help, just protect me."
Fang Mingxiao blinked his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes, nodded and replied, "Okay, whatever you say will be my decision then."
There was nothing wrong with these words, but they were unusual in every way. However, Jiang Yanqing, feeling somewhat guilty at the moment, did not think about it and did not figure it out.
Just at this moment, the wontons the two ordered were ready. Fang Mingxiao stood up and brought them over from the window. Each of them had a bowl and they slowly started eating.
Jiang Yanqing looked at the full bowl of wontons and knew she definitely couldn't finish it, so she scooped a small half into Fang Mingxiao's bowl before eating, leaving just enough for herself.
After eating the wontons, the two strolled to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some meat and bones, and went to the station. The weather was too hot, and if they bought too much food and couldn't finish it, it would easily go bad.
When the two returned to the coal mine family compound, it was already past three in the afternoon. After resting for a while at home, Fang Mingxiao went to Qi's house with the prepared medicine and silver needles.
When I came back, Jiang Yanqing had already prepared dinner.
Cook the noodles in a pot, soak them in boiled water to cool, and set aside.
Cut the tender green cucumbers grown in the yard into thin strips, fry the peanuts until crispy, and then cut some green onions as side dishes.
Then adjust the sauce according to your taste, chili powder, white vinegar, soy sauce, salt...
Mix it with the cooked and cooled noodles and you will have a bowl of appetizing and refreshing cold noodles. A small bowl was made in total. Jiang Yanqing ate a big bowl with a big appetite and gave the rest to Fang Mingxiao without wasting any.
After finishing his meal, Fang Mingxiao entered his room, a room that was temporarily cleared out for him to store medicinal herbs. He closed the door and was fiddling with something inside. Jiang Yanqing did not bother him and returned to her room, where she read a novel while enjoying the fan.
