Chapter Thirty-Nine Talking Up
When Yan Zi returned to Tiantong Street, he frowned when he saw that there was no one at the charity sale stall. He was late. "Is it sold out so soon?"
"No, no one bought it. Seeing this, Miss Yi came up with an idea and gave the things to these poor families for free. I was afraid that there would be a blind collision, so I asked a few brothers to follow him to protect him." Xu Jinluo replied.
"Come and take a look." Yan Zihui signaled Xu Jin to take a look.
There was no rice in the house, someone gave rice and noodles, and also gave warm cotton coats and pants. This was a great thing that pies fell from the sky. The old lady who collected the goods was grateful to these female students. If Yi Huan had not stopped him, "You are old and you kneel down and kowtow to us young people, then we will have to lose our blessings." The old lady did not kneel down and kowtowed, wiping her tears and saying thank you. There were a few girls with low tears, even red eyes.
Yan Zihui didn't come forward to disturb him, and stood at the entrance of the alley with her shoulders in her arms as Yi Huan and her classmates went in and out of those low and dilapidated houses. From time to time, they were scared by the mice that rushed out. It took Yi Huan and others nearly two hours to send all the things out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This charity sale was enough.
"It's already past twelve o'clock, where can I go for lunch? I'm so hungry." Someone asked.
“There seems to be a small shop selling food in front.”
"It's so dirty here, so the things sold in the store are not clean, right?" someone said disgusted.
"I can't eat it."
"Don't eat here, let's go to Donglaishun."
"Okay, okay." Everyone agreed, but after raising the money, they found that it was not enough. Although everyone's family background was good, they went out for a charity sale today and didn't bring much money.
Huang Baoli said: "Let's find a small shop and have a meal."
Someone was not very happy to hear this. He had been tired all morning and wanted to eat something good to relieve fatigue, but he had to settle it. So he was a little dissatisfied with Huang Baoli who organized the event and said angrily: "I won't eat anymore. I'll take the bus home. My mother should have left me some food."
Several people agreed that they wanted to go back to eat, but they felt wronged if they didn't want to. They walked out while talking and were about to take the tram home. This was a slum, and they couldn't even call a rickshaw, although many rickshaw drivers live on this street.
Before the tram arrived, twenty girls were standing by the roadside waiting, and the north wind blew, and people were trembling; someone said, "I just asked, and when I walked towards that alley, a rickshaw called."
"Let's go, stand here and you're almost frozen to death."
Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei followed two steps, and found Yi Huan standing still, and turned around and said, "Huanhuan, go there and take a rickshaw."
"Do you think there will be twenty rickshaws there?" Yi Huan asked with his eyebrows raised.
Obviously there were no so many rickshaws, so Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei stopped competing with those people, walked back and stood with Yi Huan and continued to wait for the tram.
A small car drove in front of them, and clamored twice. Yan Zi rolled down the window, "What are the three ladies doing here?"
"Captain Yan." Yi Huan called it very officially.
"I'm back to my brother." Peng Lingfu was very happy, "I'm back to my brother, it's great to meet you. We have been waiting for the tram for a long time and haven't come yet. Can you send us off?"
"Let the Fox, don't delay Captain Yan's official business." Yi Huan quickly stopped him.
"No delay, I'll take a vacation today and go out for a walk. There's nothing to do, get in the car." Yan Zi stared at Yi Huan back, the heartless girl who had completely forgotten his life-saving grace.
Before Yi Huan could refuse, Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei pushed her into the co-pilot half-pushed, and they sat in the back row. Since that dance, except for Zheng Yuhong who thought Wei Jie was good, the two of them didn't know why they thought she was more compatible with Yan Zihui, and they often made fun of it.
He had already gotten in the car, and Yi Huan was embarrassed to go down again. After all, someone had saved her, so he had to give her this little face. Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei looked at each other and winked. Peng Lingfu asked with a smile: "Brother back, can you invite us to lunch?"
"It's been one o'clock, you haven't had lunch yet, what are you busy with?" Yan Zihui asked knowingly.
"Carry a charity sale." Peng Lingfu pouted.
"It's not a charity sale, it's a charity donation." Zeng Shaowei corrected her.
Yan Zi smiled back and asked, "What do you want to eat?" He looked at Yi Huan sitting straight, looking straight ahead.
After Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei winked again, Peng Lingfu reached out and patted Yi Huan on the shoulder, "Huanhuan, what do you want to eat?"
"Don't let Captain Yan spend money, let's go home and eat." Yi Huan said seriously.
Yan Zi smiled back and said, "I haven't had lunch yet. Let's eat together, just take it with me."
"Okay, okay, okay." Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei nodded with a bad smile.
One to three, the few obeyed the majority, Yi Huan was helpless, but she had to go to lunch with her. "Ah, cut" Yi Huan couldn't help but sneeze.
"You're going to have a cold, you should stay at home and rest more." Yan Zi took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.
"I have a veil." Yi Huan opened the small cloth bag and flipped through it. Where is the veil? She clearly remembered that before she left the door, she asked Shaoxia to put a piece in, why did it disappear?
"Ah, cut." Yi Huan sneezed again, and no, his nose came out.
Yan Zi threw the handkerchief to her, but Yi Huan could only use it. Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei, who were sitting in the back row, smirked again.
"Brother, haven't you said what to treat us to eat yet?" Peng Lingfu asked.
"Eat mutton soaking buns to warm your stomach and relieve cold." Yan Zi replied.
"What is mutton soaking bun?" Peng Lingfu asked.
Yan Zi smiled and said, "A food that came from the northwest."
They arrived soon. The store was not on the street, in an alley. I don’t know if it was almost past mealtime. There were not many customers in the store, so the owner and his family of five came into the store. When he entered the store, the one-armed man sitting behind the counter shouted, “Captain.”
Yi Huan's eyes flashed. This man should be an injured retired soldier. There is no way to place retired soldiers in this era. Yan Zihui is walking at the forefront of the times. Yan Zihui has been paying attention to Yi Huan's expression. Seeing that she relaxed her face, she no longer tensed and the corners of her mouth bent.
There was no elegant room in the shop, so they sat in the hall and ordered mutton steamed buns and some side dishes. Yan Zi rebuilt the bowls and chopsticks with boiling water. He still remembered that Yi Huan did this when he had dinner with Yi Huan last time. Zeng Shaowei and Yi Huan have been friends for more than ten years. Knowing that Yi Huan had this habit, he smiled meaningfully when he saw this.
"Thank you." Yi Huan took the chopsticks and thanked softly.
Yan Zi smiled, "You're welcome."
The mutton steamed buns were on the table, steaming hot. Yi Huan picked up a piece of mutton, pouted and blew it, put it in his mouth, and scooped a spoonful of soup to drink. Yan Zi replied with concern and asked, "How does it taste?"
"It tastes delicious, the meat is rotten and the soup is thick, and it is fat but not greasy." Yi Huan praised.
