"Why are you buying vegetables? Are we short of food? How can you ask other people's children for food?"
"Xiao Qiu, don't listen to your aunt. From now on, you two can just come over. Don't buy anything, we have everything we need at home. As long as you can come over and talk to us for a while, it's better than anything else."
When the landlord heard the aunt say that buying gifts was not as cost-effective as buying vegetables, he immediately scolded her.
"Right, right, right! Your uncle is right, and it's Auntie who's wrong. From now on, just call ahead and just come to eat. Don't worry about anything else."
Listening to the two people's caring words, Qiu Mengyun felt warm in her heart.
She smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, just accept this today. I promise we won't buy anything else next time we come here."
Looking at Qiu Mengyun's sincere eyes, the landlord finally nodded and said, "Okay, this is just the first time. It won't happen again."
"Uncle, please keep this. This is the deposit we owe you for the house."
After drinking a sip of water, Qiu Mengyun took out a wad of cash from her pocket and placed it in front of the landlord.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Put it away first and keep it for emergency use!" The landlord did not take the money in front of him, but pushed the money back.
The landlady also said, "My daughter, there's no need to rush for this money. Your uncle and I don't need any money urgently. You two are new here and have many expenses, so you can keep it for now!"
Qiu Mengyun smiled and shook her head: "No need, uncle, we both have found jobs now. Besides, we just earned some extra money a few days ago, so we are not short of money now."
Seeing that the landlord still refused to accept the money, Qiu Mengyun directly took the money and stuffed it into the landlord's pocket.
"Auntie, please keep it. If you don't, we will be embarrassed to come to your place for dinner in the future."
"Okay, since you are not short of money for the time being, I will keep it for now. You two must come to my house for dinner often in the future." After hearing Qiu Mengyun say that she would not come again, the landlady had no choice but to accept the money.
Since there were only four of us, we didn’t cook too many dishes in the summer, so it didn’t take long to finish the four dishes and one soup.
Looking at the fragrant dishes on the table, the landlady praised, "Xiao Xia is really good. The dishes she cooked not only smell delicious, but also look very delicious. No wonder Xiao Qiu said that a chef from a star-rated hotel would come to learn from you."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "It's just a home cooking. Uncle and aunt, please eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold soon."
"Mm! It's really delicious. Xiao Xia's cooking skills are simply amazing. It's not inferior to the food in those big hotels at all."
"This fish is so delicious, Xiao Xia, are you a professional chef?"
After tasting Xia Tian’s cooking, the landlord couple were full of praise.
"Haha, that's not the case. Cooking is just a little hobby of mine." Xia Tian explained with a smile.
"Alas! It's a pity that you don't become a chef with your skills. With the taste of your dishes, you will definitely make a lot of money." The landlord said regretfully.
"Why are you sighing? Xiao Xia must have a better job if he doesn't work as a chef. We should be happy for him." The landlady said unhappily.
"Yes, yes, yes! I was confused." The landlord said with a smile.
"Hehe, as long as you like it. If you like it, I'll bring Xia Tian over to cook for you when I'm free someday."
Seeing Xia Tian being praised, Qiu Mengyun felt happier than hearing others praise herself.
"Come on, Xiao Xia, let's have a bite. It would be a shame if we didn't drink something with such delicious food."
The landlord took out a bottle of white wine from under the table and pulled Xia Tian to drink.
After dinner, Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun chatted with them for a while and stayed until around one o'clock in the afternoon before leaving.
"Woo! It feels so good to be full and satisfied." After returning home, Qiu Mengyun leaned lazily on the sofa.
"Take a nap after eating. It's too hot outside now. Let's rest for a while. When it's cooler in the evening, I'll go shopping with you." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"If you're sleepy, go back to your room and rest. I'm not sleepy yet. I promised Sister Lu to help him find the USB drive."
As she spoke, Qiu Mengyun took out her mobile phone and opened the camera management software.
"Stop watching it and take a rest, otherwise you'll be sleepy when watching the movie tonight."
Seeing Qiu Mengyun's actions, Xia Tian was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly. He quickly snatched her cell phone and pushed her back into the room.
Huh? What's wrong with Xia Tian today? Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?
Did he consider accompanying me shopping and watching a movie today as a date?
Hehehe, I didn’t expect this guy to take it so seriously. He was actually worried that I would fall asleep while watching a movie with him.
Forget it, since he cares about me so much, I won’t let him down.
Qiu Mengyun, who thought she had guessed Xia Tian's thoughts, happily went back to her room for a nap.
As for Li Lu's USB flash drive, she had long forgotten about it.
After driving Qiu Mengyun into the room, Xia Tian also returned to his room and carefully locked the door.
It’s not that he was worried that Qiu Mengyun would suddenly rush in and do something bad to him, but mainly because he felt a little guilty.
After returning to the room, Xia Tian began to act according to the plan he had thought of in the morning.
He first opened the Meituan app and ordered an errand service.
Not long after, a phone call came in.
"Hello! Mr. Xia, your address isn't very detailed. Could you tell me where you are now?"
