Chapter 166: Meeting a Little Fellow (Mid-Autumn Festival)
Xie Haoyun waited quietly.
Liang Xiaonan showed him her hands, but there was nothing there. Then she held a handkerchief in her left hand, held it in front of her right hand, and said, "Queen Mother, I'm sorry, I'd like to lend you a fairy peach to Mr. Xie."
When the handkerchief was taken away, two bright peaches were actually held in the palm of the hand. Suddenly, the car was filled with fragrance. The sweet fragrance was so sweet that it hit the nostrils. Xie Haoyun looked at her and said: "They are really fairy peaches, so fragrant!"
"No, look, it's still carrying the dew of the fairy world!"
The two peaches seemed to have just been washed. They were wet and fragrant. Liang Xiaonan handed the peaches to Xie Haoyun: "Do you dare to eat them?"
What is Xie Haoyun afraid of? He originally thought he would be embarrassed to eat it. There are almost no peaches in the north in winter, and magic is all fake. These two peaches must have been hidden by Xiaoliang. How could he eat them!
But Liang Xiaonan asked him if he dared. If he didn't eat it, it would mean that he didn't trust her and was worried that there was something wrong with her peach.
Xie Haoyun stretched out his hand, twisted one, and ate it directly. The familiar taste was exactly the same as the basket of peaches she gave to the hotel in June and the hotel gave him.
It was more delicious than that one. Even the "dew" on the peach was very delicious. He felt refreshed after eating this peach.
"delicious."
He flicked the beads, and Liang Xiaonan gave another peach to Cao Yuan: "Please pull over and eat this peach. I have no place to put it."
Cao Yuanzhen parked the car on the side of the road and took the peach from Liang Xiaonan. He had already smelled the fragrance and couldn't refuse it. He couldn't refuse it.
Watching them eat the peaches, Cao Yuan said regretfully: "It's a pity, there are only two."
Xie Haoyun said calmly: "How much more do you want? I'll give you one and you won't be satisfied?"
Cao Yuan's little black face also frowned: "I want to keep a few more for you. Don't you like to eat the peaches brought by Miss Liang the most?"
When Liang Xiaonan saw Cao Yuan's car stopped, he simply played another magic trick with them, this time stealing grapes.
There are still two skewers, one for each of Xie Haoyun and Cao Yuan.
Xie Haoyun said: "Can you make three skewers? If you can't make three skewers, Cao Yuan shouldn't eat it. You can eat it yourself. Girls should eat more fruits."
Cao Yuan was used to being serious around Xie Haoyun. No matter what Xie Haoyun said, he would definitely not dare to say a word "no" or even make a joke.
He immediately said: "No need to give it to me, I don't like fruit, Miss Liang, you can eat it."
Liang Xiaonan said: "Did I eat any fruit? Mr. Xie brought so much, and there were all fruits under the back seat. Magic is just for fun. As long as everyone is happy."
Xie Haoyun nodded and said to Cao Yuan: "Eat the grapes."
Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the grapes and ate them one by one. While eating, he sighed: "Miss Liang, where did you buy the fruits? Why are they so delicious?"
It's more than a thousand miles from Huyang City to Modu. It's hard to drive fast during the day, so Cao Yuan wanted to drive at night.
Xie Haoyun said: "Don't go out at night, find a guest house and have a good rest."
Cao Yuan nodded, knowing in his heart that Xie Haoyun was taking care of Liang Xiaonan's rest. When they drove out from Motor City, they never considered how to rest at night.
They drove more than 300 kilometers in one day, from Huyang to Jianning City. When it was dark, they stayed at the Jianning Red Star Guest House.
This is the best guest house in Jianning. It is almost the same as the four-star hotel in her previous life. The lobby is very spacious. Although the decoration is not very luxurious, the rooms are very comfortable and have separate toilets and showers.
Liang Xiaonan had been riding in the car and was not tired, so after dinner in the evening, she went out of the room to look at the night view of Jianning.
The guest house is located on the busiest commercial street in Jianning. The atmosphere here is much more relaxed than that in Huyang. There are still people on the street at night and there are some stalls along the street, but compared to her previous life, it is nothing.
"Hey, you kid, eat some!"
"No, uncle, I won't eat for free..."
"I see you've been hungry all day. It's so cold, so you have to eat something. My child, it's getting colder and colder. You have to find a way to go home and stay away from here."
Liang Xiaonan kept staring at those shops, listening to the conversation, and then he discovered that there was a wonton picker on the roadside, the chopping board was propped up under the cold street lamp, and the stove was steaming with steam.
The stall owner is a man in his forties or fifties, wearing a black cotton-padded jacket and a dog-skin hat. Next to him is a boy who helps him set up the stall, chop wood, and add wood to the stove to make the fire.
Even if she saw this kind of scene, it wouldn't be unusual. What was strange was the boy.
She recognized his accent right away. It was from the Yu County area, not from Jianning. For example, the stall owner's voice was completely different from his.
She stood for a moment with interest.
The boy immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Sister, do you want to eat wontons?"
The boy is half a head shorter than Liang Xiaonan, and is as thin as a stick. His clothes are very shabby, and he is still wearing a pair of single shoes with no exposed toes, but they are very shabby.
Besides being thin, he looks sickly.
To be honest, if it weren't for the bright eyes of the child in front of her, she would have suspected that he had tuberculosis.
"Where are you from?" Liang Xiaonan asked calmly.
"Ah, I'm not from here." The boy changed his words and invited again, "Sister, let's have a bowl of wontons. The wontons made by my uncle are delicious."
Liang Xiaonan was already full after dinner, so she couldn't eat wontons. But the boy looked at her eagerly, so she sat down and said, "Have a big bowl."
The boy was very happy when he gave the money to the stall owner, and the stall owner was also very happy. He took the money and said, "Comrade, please wait a moment."
The boy brought the cleaned chopsticks to Liang Xiaonan and went to help the stall owner light the fire.
After a while, a large bowl of steaming wontons came up. It smelled delicious. On this cold night, if she hadn't been too full, this bowl of hot wontons would definitely be very comfortable.
Liang Xiaonan called the boy over and said, "I heard your accent is from Yu County?"
The boy immediately said excitedly: "Yes, sister, I am from Nanfeng Town, Yu County. Sister, are you from Yu County too?"
Oh, I am still from Nanfeng Town, a true fellow villager.
Liang Xiaonan nodded: "I recognized the accent as soon as I heard it. Are you done with your work? Sit down and talk with me when you are done."
The stall owner immediately said to the boy: "You don't have to keep the fire burning in the stove when you talk to the fellow villagers."
The boy excitedly sat far away from Liang Xiaonan and looked at her with bright eyes: "Does sister work here?"
Liang Xiaonan said no, he was just passing by. He pushed the wonton bowl to the boy and poured out only a mouthful of soup.
The boy was shocked, shook his head and said, "Sister, I won't eat it, but you will eat it."
"I've had dinner, and I haven't touched my chopsticks yet on these wontons. You can eat them cleanly."
The boy refused to take it even to death: "Sister, I haven't done anything, how can I eat my sister's food?"
The stall owner said, "Don't give it to him. This kid never eats other people's food for free."
Liang Xiaonan pointed to a few bricks on the side of the road and said to the boy: "Go and move those bricks to the flower bed. They will trip others on the side of the road."
The boy walked over slowly, and Liang Xiaonan heard the "gurgling" sounds in his stomach.
When he came back after moving, Liang Xiaonan pointed at the wontons and said, "You helped me move the bricks, and I'll treat you to some wontons."
