Joy

You Qin is in a good mood today, thinking of going on a date tonight—let's pretend it's a date, he can't hold back the smile on his lips.

As his assistant, Wang Ge sent him materials several times with a subtle expression on his face.

When You Qin was about to leave after get off work, Wang Ge took the initiative to follow him and said, "Young Master You, I...shall I see you off?"

You Qin knew what Wang Ge was up to, and he just wanted to know more information before he could report it to his mother.

Besides, You Qin also knew that with his mother's ability, Wang Ge would not be the only eyeliner.

You Qin was too lazy to talk, and waved his hand: "I'll go by myself, do you really think I'm a royal highness? Wang Ge, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't pay much attention."

Wang Ge: "..." What an ordinary person, if You Shao is an ordinary person, then he probably won't be able to be a human being.

Wang Ge was helpless, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he nodded in agreement and handed over the car keys to You Qin, but You Qin said happily, "No, I won't drive today."

Wang Ge was taken aback for a moment, You Qin had already left the door, and only his voice drifted to his eyes with the wind: "I'll take the bus!"

Wang Ge: "..."

The "date" is set at the vegetable market, which is in Xile's shop.Xi Le said that she would cook for him with her own hands.

You Qin hummed a little song, checked the route with his mobile phone, took the subway first, then transferred to the bus, and almost rushed to the vegetable market.

To put it an exaggeration, Youqin has not actually taken a vehicle in China, but has taken it a few times abroad.

He never expected that domestic transportation would be so "terrible".

It was rush hour, and the subway was so crowded that Youqin mistakenly thought he had entered some canned fish factory.

After finally squeezing through the door, there were exhausted and annoyed faces in all directions; the passengers sitting in the seats were either dozing off or looking at their mobile phones; The atmosphere will always be awkward and stiff for a moment.

The stuffy air was full of repressed hostility, and the negative emotions seemed to burst the small space. It was not until he finally got out of the car that You Qin took a deep breath.

The bus system in the old city is even more unreliable. There are passengers with children crowded on the seats and they still don’t forget to let the children recite the text; Most of them are office workers who have just got off work and are tired all day, with drooping shoulders, swiping their phones without looking up.

The streets in the old city are narrow, and the vehicles squeeze each other and I squeeze you. They all want to go faster but they can't.

The short distance was actually blocked for two full hours.

After getting out of the car, You Qin's feet were numb, half of his body was squeezed all the way, and he almost lost consciousness. He just felt that the journey was enough to take the high-speed train to the neighboring province.

Walk about 200 meters, and the old vegetable market appears in front of you.

Looking at it from a distance, You Qin felt like a believer who had gone through all kinds of hardships to come to the pilgrimage. He couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said to himself that he was really crazy.

Youqin didn't drive here because he had his own thoughts - he wanted to use the excuse of not driving after dinner to ask Xile to send him back, and in the end, leave Xile at home.

He didn't intend to do anything to Xi Le, he just wanted to increase the relationship between the two of them, and he wanted to use his own way to treat Xi Le as well as possible.Since he gave clothes to Xi Le, Xi Le didn't wear the clothes he gave him once in the few times we saw Xi Le, which made him very concerned.

He is busy on weekdays, and Joy is not as easy as he is. He has no time to get along and understand Joy's life, so he wants to find reasons to keep Joy as much as possible, spend time alone, and get to know each other better.

As for why he didn't choose a taxi - You Qin raised his hand and rubbed his forehead angrily, until there was a red finger mark between his brows.He really didn't want to admit it, because he didn't expect this to happen.

He originally thought that the subway and the bus had dedicated lines, which would probably be faster than taxis, but the reality slapped him mercilessly in the face.

You Qin sighed, thinking: You are still too young!

It was supposed to be time for dinner, but it was almost eight o'clock.Xi Le didn't call to urge you, You Qin hurried into the vegetable market, and soon arrived at the door of Lao Song's sausage without turning his eyes. When Xi Le saw him coming, he stood up from behind the table happily: "You Qin!"

Xile is a very funny person. Every time I see Youqin, I have to happily call out his first and last names. Ordinary people may say "Hello", "Good evening", "You are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." , Even if they call their names, most of them add other greetings after the word "You Shao".

There is only joy, and every time he simply utters "Youqin!", with a joy that is free from impurities, it makes people's hearts move every time, and it is very refreshing.

You Qin agreed and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Is it a traffic jam?" Xi Le didn't care, and said, "Come in, I'll go to the kitchen and serve the food."

Youqin entered the door, helped Xile set up the table and moved the chairs, and went to help Xile serve the food: "What's for dinner tonight?"

You Qin was serious and curious, and thought about whether it would be a sausage feast on the way, and laughed at himself thinking about it halfway.

But upon closer inspection, it was quite surprising.

Although there are sausages, it is not a sausage banquet. They are all home-cooked dishes, but they are delicious in color and fragrance, and the plates are also very beautiful. They are not the big bowls and plates that You Qin imagined.

The white porcelain plate with blue print looks very elegant and fresh, the dishes are well arranged, green is green, red is red, it is very pleasing to the eye.

After getting on the table, You Qin looked around: "Where...where is your grandma?"

"She has already eaten." Xi Le said.

No one bothered, You Qin was quite satisfied, so he ate with Xi Le.

"You made this all?" You Qin ate the food, his mouth full of flavor, and said in surprise, "It's delicious!"

Xi Le blushed, smiling until she lost her eyes: "If you like it, that's fine. I don't have anything, and I know what I'm good at, just a few things."

Youqin really admires it, he is happy with this skill, it is more than enough to be a chef in a big hotel.

Xi Le can only cook home-cooked food, and nothing else, so she introduced to You Qin: "This is what I, Mom, like. Grandma, said it; this is, Dad, likes it; this is, Grandpa, likes it. "

Xi Le was not in a hurry, and said in a gentle voice, "Grandma, it tastes better when you cook it."

Youqin nodded, believing that Xile's skill must be due to someone's guidance, and boasted: "You are very good."

Ever since Youqin praised Xile, Xile's face has always been flushed, like a lovely apple.

His eyes are black and white, probably he has never been praised like this before, his eyes are full of joy, the more You Qin praises, the more excited he is to introduce you to You Qin.

"I'm best at tomatoes and scrambled eggs." Xi Le said with a smile, biting her chopsticks, "But that's too simple."

Xi Le talked nonsense like this, but You Qin understood what he meant unexpectedly—Xi Le said that the dishes were too simple, and he was afraid that the hospitality would not be good, so he didn't make them.

You Qin laughed: "How can you not do what you are best at? Do I still have a chance to eat?"

"Yes!" Xi Le nodded immediately. Seeing that You Qin didn't care, she felt that You Qin was a good person. Although this idea had appeared countless times,... a good person is a good person!

"Next time, I will do it next time."

You Qin nodded, put down his chopsticks and stretched out his little finger: "Pull the hook."

Xi Le hurriedly hooked up with him, staring at You Qin curiously as if her eyes were full of starlight: "You still know how to play this?"

"Then why not? What do you think?"

"Grandma said, you are a rich person." Xi Le said, "Rich people are different from us."

You Qin raised his eyebrows and raised his jaw: "What's the difference? Are there more eyes or more noses?"

Xi Le laughed, and stared at You Qin seriously for a long time: "No, you are very good-looking."

Youqin laughed lightly.

Xile picks fish for Youqin, picks out the bones carefully, and Youqin picks the meat for him, and then talks about all kinds of experiences and delicacies from various places that he has seen when traveling.

"Taco is a kind of Mexican food." You Qin said while eating, "You can understand it as a Mexican hamburger."

Xi Le stared wide-eyed: "Foreigners, they also eat meat buns?"

You Qin said with a smile: "It's a little different, you can understand it that way for now. There are many ways to make Taco, and the name will change. For example, Burrito is a more American way. It will add a lot of meat and vegetables, and then use soft bread Roll up; Taco is meat and some simple vegetables on the tortilla, such as cilantro or white onion, then add homemade salsa and lemon juice, the tortilla does not roll up."

You Qin said with a smile: "For a long time, some of my friends would argue over which method is considered an authentic Mexican burrito."

Xi Le listened with gusto: "That he...he what...sounds delicious."

"When I was traveling, I accidentally entered a very simple restaurant." Youqin said, "Their sign is very simple, with the names of beef, pork, chicken, etc. written directly on it. It is very rude, but it is clear at a glance. That restaurant The Taco in the store is the best I have ever eaten. Roast beef is placed on the tortilla, with fresh chopped white onion, chopped tomato and coriander, and the salsa that is said to be the secret recipe of the boss. The taste is really great. "

"The fragrance of corn flour, heated to just crispy taste, a good Taco, the tortilla wrapped in meat is really very important." You Qin said, "The taste of roast beef is very strong, with special salsa, all the flavors Combined without being obtrusive, I can eat five in one go."

You Qin put down his chopsticks and patted his knee: "Another bottle of cold beer, absolutely."

Hearing this, Xi Le moved her throat, planed the rice a few times, went to the small door to get out the beer, and handed it to You Qin: "Drink it."

You Qin laughed: "I won't drink today."

Xi Le put down the wine, wiped her hands on the apron, and said, "That's great, I want to eat it once."

You Qin looked at his slightly disappointed face: "There will be a chance."

After eating, the two chatted for a while, and Youqin helped Xile clean up the dishes.The vegetable market was closed, and the stall owners packed up their things and went home, covering their stalls with cloth.The leaves of rotten vegetables fell all over the floor. There were people wearing simple and dirty clothes and carrying plastic bags they picked up at random. They picked up these rotten leaves along the way. Eat it down.

Surrounded by old residential areas, the sound insulation is not very good, the street lights are on, and the smoke of the world is floating from the windows of each house.

Arguing, scolding the children for not doing their homework when they come back from playing so late, shouting loudly about eating...these are all new experiences that Youqin has never experienced.

When Youqin lived abroad, he didn’t have many neighbors around; after he returned to China, he didn’t even know what the neighbors looked like. In the huge high-end apartment complex, there are only a few people with lights in the windows at night, and most of them seem to be unoccupied all year round. Like a residence, deserted and empty.

However, there are few vacant houses near the vegetable market. Some old communities are rented out and turned into staff dormitories. A bunch of people are crowded together, and it is very lively.

The two sat and chatted at the door of the shop, there were already mosquitoes that day, Xile lit a coil of mosquito coils and put them under Youqin's feet, then took a cattail fan and fanned it lightly.

You Qin sat on a low stool, stretched his legs, looked at the dark blue night sky and the lights of thousands of houses, his eyes were bright.

This situation was obviously unexpected by You Qin, but because of the joy he spoke slowly beside him, his heart was extremely at ease, even a little sleepy.It's just that he hasn't enjoyed enough, and a person rushes from the corner, it is Xi Le's grandmother.
