After leaving for more than ten years, Quan County is completely different from what Lin Wanwan remembered.
in memory.
The original mud houses and brick houses have been replaced by bungalows and two-story buildings. There are even many very beautiful three-story buildings.
Lin Wanwan sighed, "What a big change..."
It’s completely different from what I remember!
RV arrives on the street.
There was an endless stream of people going to the market, mostly old men and women. The old people rode electric tricycles with young children on their cars. There were stalls on the roadside, and they were shouting constantly, making it very lively.
"There are not many young people here?"
"It's not that small." When they got to the street, the car was driving much slower. Lin Wanwan and Xiao Lingye explained, "This is a poor county with a large population and low income! Many young people want to improve their family's economic conditions.
, have all gone to work in economically developed cities, and the children at home can only be left to the elderly to help take care of them... They are the left-behind children and left-behind elderly people often mentioned in the news!"
Xiao Lingye frowned.
While he was talking, the car was already unable to move.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in!"
The driver opened the door to the room and said, "President, there are too many tricycles on the road outside, and the traffic is too chaotic. Now it's blocked here. I'm afraid the cars won't be able to move for a while."
Xiao Lingye looked at Lin Wanwan.
"It's okay, let's wait." Lin Wanwan scratched her head and said, "The streets here are based on the odd and even numbers of the lunar calendar. I forgot about this and the market today! I should have known better.
We should take another route... There are relatively few private cars here. Normally during fairs, no one would drive to the street. We are blocking the traffic."
As she said that, Lin Wanwan saw a steaming breakfast shop on the street. Her eyes lit up, "Wow! There are actually breakfast shops on the street now. I remember there were none when I was a kid. Everyone was very poor at that time.
Who would be willing to spend money to have breakfast on the street!"
Xiao Lingye looked at her with bright eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. He suggested, "Would you like to go down and have some breakfast?"
"Yeah."
It happened that she was also hungry.
The two were getting ready to set off when the door of the next room opened. Ruirui and Xingan walked out of the room, rubbing their eyes, "Good morning!"
Lin Wanwan pointed to the bathroom, "Go and wash up quickly, get ready to get off the car and have breakfast."
When she heard that there was something to eat, Xin Gan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, okay, daddy, wait for Xin Gan, Xin Gan will be fine soon!" As she said that, she quickly pulled Rui Rui and rushed to the bathroom.
Lin Wanwan's eyes were soft.
…
When the family of four arrived at the breakfast shop, Lin Wanwan was embarrassed.
Business at the breakfast shop is very good.
But it's also very crude.
It was a very large space with no decoration, just tables and chairs... More importantly, the tables and chairs looked old and dirty. At this time, there were almost no people in the room.
They were all full, and we were all on the same street. We often met acquaintances, so during the meal, acquaintances sat together and chatted, making the sound noisy.
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a while. She glanced sideways at Xiao Lingye, who was wearing a snow-white shirt. Xiao Lingye was as usual, with no expression on her face and an impressive aura... which was simply incompatible with such an environment.
"Xiao Lingye..."
Lin Wanwan was about to retreat when she saw that Xiao Lingye had already led the two children in, found a table very naturally, and pulled out a round stool for the two little guys.
"..."
Lin Wanwan was dumbfounded.
Xiao Lingye noticed that Lin Wanwan had not followed. He looked sideways and saw that she was still standing at the door. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you want breakfast? Come in first!"
"……oh!"
Lin Wanwan walked in stiffly. She looked at Xiao Lingye's expression carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't look disgusted at all.
"Xiao Lingye, you are very adaptable!"
"praise me?"
"for sure!"
Xiao Lingye raised her lips and smiled softly.
There is a family of four, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and the two little guys are as exquisite as jade. More importantly, the family has a sense of nobility. As soon as they entered the house, they attracted everyone's attention.
They all couldn't help lowering their voices and started talking quietly in the local dialect of Quan County.
"Hey! Look! This family is really grand!"
"It's true! I've never seen anyone so ostentatious in my life. People on TV are the same! They're so ostentatious!"
"Look at those two baby dolls. Their skin is so hydrated and so white! We can't raise babies with fair skin in our land. Their family must be from outside. They don't look like us here."
"That girl looks familiar to me... It seems like I've seen her somewhere before."
"Come on, you haven't even been to our county, how could you have seen someone wearing a sign? You must have seen it wrong."
…
Lin Wanwan discovered that she could actually understand the local dialect of Quan County.
When she looked up, she saw that Ruirui and Xingan were confused. They obviously didn't understand. Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing. She looked at Xiao Lingye again and saw that Xiao Lingye was also frowning. Apparently, he didn't understand these sounds.
"Can you understand?"
Xiao Lingye tapped her finger bones on the table, "What does pomp mean?"
"I compliment you on how good-looking you are!"
"..."
Xiao Lingye looked like she suddenly realized something. Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing and translated what the fellow villagers just said to several people. She said with emotion, "Only when I heard this familiar accent, I felt like I was really back."
"Gulu——"
There was a loud noise, and Lin Wanwan looked over following the sound, and saw Xingan's face was red, and she covered her stomach in embarrassment, "Ma Ma, Xingan is hungry!"
"Mama, let's go order breakfast for you. What do you want to eat?"
The three of them had never been to Quan County and didn't know what was delicious here, so they left the decision-making power to Lin Wanwan.
"Just watch it."
"good!"
Lin Wanwan went to negotiate with the boss. She could no longer speak the local dialect of Quan County, but fortunately everyone here could understand Mandarin, so there was no problem in communicating.
There weren't many choices for breakfast, so Lin Wanwan just ordered a few cages of vegetarian dumplings.
The boss said enthusiastically, "There is cooked porridge in the house. Children like to drink it. You can serve it to the children. The porridge is free!"
"thank you boss!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome!"
The so-called porridge is thinner rice porridge with some peanuts and red beans. It is indeed suitable for children to drink. Lin Wanwan gave the two little ones a bowl of porridge each, and she and Xiao Lingye ordered it.
Got their local specialty - spicy spicy soup.
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
"OK."
Lin Wanwan sat back on her seat, and soon the boss brought several baskets of hot steamed dumplings and two bowls of hot spicy soup.
Lin Wanwan gave each person a pair of disposable chopsticks.
