"Hey kid, just come here. What are you carrying? You're so polite. Come and sit down."
Junhui pulled up his trouser legs with both hands and sat down neatly on the small bench in the yard, laughing:
"It's not an expensive thing. I just bought it for you and my uncle to try."
Liu Yafang opened it and took a look. What was that?
Junhui bought a large meat patty about one foot in diameter and two inches thick, which was pan-fried and loosened with a spatula.
It takes twenty minutes to bake this large meat patty, which can be divided into sixteen portions for takeout. It melts in your mouth, is fragrant, not greasy, and does not get stuck in your teeth.
Junhui is a very honest person. He bought a large sheet of meat patties and brought them all here because the pancake maker said that the flea market where he worked was going to be renovated and he had to close down.
When Junhui heard this, he immediately had an indescribable feeling and wanted to buy it for Bi Yue to try, to taste the thing he had been drooling over as a child.
Junhui said, "Auntie, open it up. Otherwise, it won't taste good if you cover it up. Would you like to try it first?"
Liu Yafang said embarrassedly: "Well, put it there first, and we will taste it together later." She put the bag directly on the small table in the yard and said politely:
"You are too polite, kid."
Junhui put aside another exquisite packaging bag in his hand:
"This is tea for my uncle, from the south. I saw my dad enjoyed it and he has quite a lot of it, so I bought a few boxes for my uncle to try. It's also a new tea for summer."
Who would be unhappy if they received the gift?
Liu Yafang asked with a smile, "Are you from Kyoto too? A local resident?"
"Yes, that's right." Junhui said sincerely. He paused for two seconds to think, then said very straightforwardly, "Auntie, I'm a soldier. I live in a military compound..."
Liu Yafang widened her eyes in astonishment:
"You too? Do you know Chu Yifeng?"
"Yes."
"He asked you to come?"
Junhui smiled and said, "No, Auntie, didn't Yueyue tell you? Brother Chu and I met her together. My coming here has nothing to do with Brother Chu."
Liu Yafang felt that she was being abrupt, so she pointed to the teapot on the small square table and asked Junhui to sit there and wait for her. She took the opportunity to digest Junhui's words while going to the backyard to pick up some watermelons.
When she came back, she cut the watermelon and handed it to Junhui while chatting with him warmly:
"Ah, so you're from a cadre family too. You know what? We're quite connected. Your mom works at that bank, and that's where I keep my money. It's really great that both your parents are capable. Unlike my family."
Junhui smiled brightly:
"Auntie, please don't say that. My mother envies other families who have multiple children. I'm the only one in my family, and I don't have any sisters or brothers. I think she likes her daughter more.
When I came back this time, I heard that she had gone to the Normal University to see Yueyue some time ago. She was so happy. I guess my mother's enthusiasm must have scared Yueyue.
Just now when I left the house, she asked me where I was going. I said I was going to see Yueyue, and she immediately pushed me out and asked me to come to your house and see if there was anything I could do to help.
How obvious is this? How clear is this?
Liu Yafang wouldn't believe Junhui at all if he said he didn't mean that.
Especially when he heard Junhui say that he was the only one in his family and there were no annoying elder sisters-in-law, his mother actually liked her daughter.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, I feel comfortable listening to it, which is exactly the opposite of what Chu said.
Liu Yafang couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Dad is a high-ranking official, and Mom is the director of a bank. Why didn't her Yueyue look for someone like that? Why did she have to go against the Chu family?!
It's really not a good deal if you're just trying to get something for nothing.
Liu Yafang's mentality changed. Although she kept smiling and didn't show it too obviously, Junhui could clearly hear the sound of her sigh.
He knew that his family was not an obstacle, and that it was no worse than the Chu family. Just these two points would definitely be well-received by most parents.
People are afraid of comparison. Without comparison, they will accept their fate and persevere. But after comparison, they will analyze whether it is worth it. This is human nature.
Liu Yafang didn't cook, and she couldn't cook because there were guests at home. She kept chatting with Junhui, asking him in detail how his mother met Bi Yue.
When asked this question, Junhui said:
"I have an aunt who is the Dean of Studies at the Normal University. She is my great-uncle's daughter-in-law, and she happens to be Yueyue's teacher.
My mother met Yueyue when she went to Normal University to visit my aunt.
My mother is a protective person and has been like that since she was young.
I heard that Yueyue might be assigned to a middle school that wasn't the best as a trainee teacher, and she reportedly quit when she heard about it. Haha.
Since we didn't know each other, I told my aunt to find a good internship, not one that was too far away, but one that was close to home."
This time Liu Yafang expressed her gratitude sincerely:
"Oh my God, thank you so much. Tomorrow, tell your mom to go to our restaurant. I'll have to thank you very much, big sister. We don't have any roots here. You say it's like you're blind and don't know anyone..."
Liu Yafang said a lot of words of thanks and was extremely satisfied with Junhui at this time.
She clearly understood what Junhui meant. She made a comparison in her mind:
Look at the young man sitting next to her. Although he's not as good-looking as Chu Yifeng, he's pretty close. He has a scar on his face, but didn't they say it was from being a hero on the front lines?
She wanted to know how Chu Yifeng was doing in the army because she didn't want to chat too much, so she asked Chu if he had gone to the front line. But it turned out that Chu was not injured, and there was no scar on his face. He didn't even go to the battlefield. He said he fell into a ditch and came back.
Liu Yafang, who was born in an era of war when the whole nation was saving food for the People's Liberation Army, has a unique admiration for heroes.
