Chen Qi came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? You haven't agreed to my request for a long time." Ye Miaoyu pouted and complained.
Chen Qi responded with a smile, "I remembered some past events."
Ye Miaoyu didn't dwell on it too much, "Wanwan is making noises about going to play on the slide. I'll take her there to play for a while. Do you want to go?"
"There are a lot of people over there. It's very crowded. I'll wait for you here."
"Oh well."
Then, Ye Miaoyu pulled the jumping Wanwan into the children's playground.
Chen Qi lit a cigarette for himself, leaned against the fence, and watched Ye Miaoyu and Wanwan playing with their mother and daughter.
"We are selling rice cakes! Sweet, glutinous and delicious rice cakes! We are selling rice cakes!"
At this moment, a vendor's shout came from not far away.
Chen Qi looked for his voice and saw a skinny man with stubble on his face, wearing a checkered apron, pushing a broken cart alone.
The figure is slightly rickety, but it is not natural.
Those are the sequelae of years of hard work.
My eyes are listless, which may be caused by getting up early and being late at night for a long time.
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. Why did he always feel a little familiar when looking at the man in front of him?
But I have seen it somewhere, but I can’t remember it.
The man passed by Chen Qi pushing a cart, and when he saw Chen Qi staring at him, he showed an honest smile.
"Sir, do you want to buy rice cakes?"
Chen Qi put out the cigarette butt and smiled warmly, "How to sell it?"
"Three for ten yuan, not delicious, no money!"
"Then give me three."
The man was overjoyed and said, "Okay!"
Then, the man skillfully packed three pieces of rice cakes for Chen Qi and handed them over, "Sir, take your rice cakes."
However, the man's eyes deliberately scanned Chen Qi's face.
But then he still shook his head and said, "Thank you for your business, sir."
Then, the man continued to push the cart, shouting slogans, and prepared to leave.
Looking at the man's retreating figure, Chen Qi gave a tentative shout.
"Tiger?"
As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, he could clearly see that the man's body was shaking violently.
He slowly turned his head, his dim eyes filled with a little brilliance.
Stare several times wider.
He looked at Chen Qi's face again and again, and finally squeezed out one word with uncertainty, "Brother?"
Chen Qi smiled and said, "Long time no see, Hu Zi."
Huzi pinched his face in disbelief. When he confirmed that it was not a dream, he suddenly burst into tears with excitement.
"Brother, is it really you? Is it really you?" Huzi stepped forward and grabbed Chen Qi's arm, his voice trembling slightly, "I, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Chen Qi smiled and nodded, "If it's fake, it will be replaced!"
Chen Qi sighed secretly in his heart.
It is said that he was just thinking about the past things about Hu Zi, but he didn't expect to meet him now.
Maybe, this is fate?
"Brother, I, I..."
Maybe it was because he was so excited that Huzi couldn't even speak.
Thinking about it, he might not be able to accept such a sudden encounter after not seeing each other for more than ten years.
Chen Qi patted Huzi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are still the same, you haven't changed."
Huzi scratched his head and laughed, "Brother, you have changed a lot."
Chen Qi raised his eyebrows, "Is there any?"
"Well, you used to be gentle and polite, and you looked like a cultured person. But now, you feel aloof and majestic, like an official."
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do I feel that you are criticizing me?"
Huzi was shocked and waved his hands quickly, "No, I didn't mean that."
Chen Qi smiled, this tiger is indeed the same tiger as before.
In the past, when he was getting along with Chen Qi, he always put his status very low.
Perhaps he feels that it is a very luxurious thing for a poor person to be friends with a rich person.
However, Chen Qi never despised Huzi because of his poor family.
Otherwise, with Hu Zi’s straightforward and honest personality, it would be impossible to make friends with him.
"How have you been doing these past few years?"
Huzi smiled bitterly, "Brother, you know, I have never read a book and have no education. I can only rely on this craft taught by my mother to support my family by selling rice cakes."
Chen Qi nodded.
Chen Qi knew the situation at Huzi's family.
When he was very young, his father died of illness.
He and his mother were left alone, dependent on each other.
My mother barely made a living by selling rice cakes.
Chen Qi had been to Huzi's home before and met Huzi's mother.
She was a smart and capable woman who had the conditions to remarry.
However, out of loyalty to her deceased husband, and worried that the stepfather she found for Huzi would be bad to him.
He has always been alone.
"Auntie, how are you now?"
Huzi shook his head, "My mother had a serious illness a few years ago and couldn't afford it. She followed my father a few months later."
Chen Qi: "..."
Huzi smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Brother, how long do you plan to stay when you come this time?"
"Should stay for a while."
Huzi nodded, "Brother, do you want to come and sit at my house? My house is not far from here."
As he said that, Huzi showed his honest smile again, "If you don't mind, brother..."
"How could you dislike it?" Chen Qi responded with a smile.
At this moment, Ye Miaoyu pulled Wanwan over.
"Huh? Archie, this is..."
"He is a good friend of mine when I was young, Hu Zi."
Then, Chen Qi introduced to Huzi, "Huzi, this is my wife, Ye Miaoyu. That is my daughter, Wanwan."
"Wanwan, call me uncle quickly."
Wanwan politely called out, "Hello, uncle!"
Huzi was suddenly shocked, "Brother, are you married?"
"Yeah, how about it? I have good taste, right?"
Huzi nodded heavily and said with confidence, "Well, my sister-in-law is really beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful person since I was born."
Ye Miaoyu was a little embarrassed by the praise, her face turned red and she said, "No, it's not that exaggerated..."
Having said that, Ye Miaoyu was still very happy. After all, what woman doesn't like to hear others praise her beauty?
"Huzi invited us to sit at his home, are you going?" Chen Qi asked Ye Miaoyu.
Before Ye Miaoyu could respond, Wanwan jumped up and said, "Does Uncle Huzi have anything delicious at home?"
"Yes, the rice cakes made by Uncle Huzi are very, very delicious!"
Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Go, I want to go!"
Ye Miaoyu smiled angrily and said, "You kid, you just know how to eat."
Afterwards, Chen Qi's family of three, together with Tong Huzi, walked towards his home.
On the way, Chen Qi learned.
Huzi opened a small rice cake shop nearby, and the business was pretty good.
