213. You feed me, or I feed you
Tang Xiao suddenly felt a little chill on his body, did he enter a cage voluntarily?
The heart that couldn't help jumping because of Cheng Lie just now became like a pool of stagnant water in an instant.
He was so cruel.
This man can't let go of her because he can't let her go, so he does whatever he wants?
"Let's go. He took her hand and said, "Go and get in line." ”
Looking at the long dragon in the distance, he suddenly smiled and said, "When I used to go to school, I often came here to queue up to buy steamed buns. ”
Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Lie with complicated eyes, let him lead him, and walked forward like an expressionless puppet.
Cheng Lie took Tang Xiao's hand and lined up at the end of the line, many people in front of him looked back at them, after all, the two of them were very outstanding, especially Cheng Lie, a handsome and awe-inspiring face that people didn't dare to look at directly, a tall and straight figure of more than one meter and nine, and he was also wearing a neat and straight military coat and military boots.
Many people peeked at them and whispered at the same time, Cheng Lie turned a deaf ear, Tang Xiao was a little uncomfortable at first, but after thinking about it, what do these people have to do with her? This is a relief.
In front of Cheng Lie were two twelve or thirteen-year-old little sisters, the two looked at Cheng Lie for a long time, biting their ears while watching, thinking that the sound was small and others couldn't hear it, but Tang Xiao still vaguely heard the words "camera" and "early play" in their conversation.
Did they think they were here to make a movie? Tang Xiao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
At this time, the young lady who looked a little older among the two mustered up the courage to take a step closer to Cheng Lie, raised her head and said to Cheng Lie with bright eyes, "Brother, can you help me sign a name?"
Cheng Lie raised his eyebrows and looked down at the girl: "Why?"
The younger sister of the two girls poked her head out of her sister's shoulder, stared at a pair of smart single eyelid eyes and said curiously: "Brother, you are a big star, right? Are you filming? By the way, where is the camera hidden? We searched for a long time but couldn't find ......"
"My brother is not a star. Cheng Lie said softly, "My brother is a soldier. ”
"Soldier?" said the young lady with a look of surprise, "Then brother, have you ever been on the battlefield?"
Cheng Lie reached out and touched the young lady's head and said, "Are you curious about the battlefield?"
The little sister with a single eyelid stuck out her tongue and said, "We've only seen it on TV, it's a hand-tearing devil or something...... It feels so fake. ”
Cheng Lie curled the corners of his lips and said in a gentle voice: "The duty of a soldier is to ensure that you will never be exposed to the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war. Even if there is a war, there will always be soldiers in the way. ”
"Wow, my brother is so amazing. The two girls looked at each other with adoring eyes.
"What about this beautiful big sister? Is the big sister also a soldier?" The two curious babies turned their eyes to Tang Xiao on the side again.
Tang Xiao came out for a run in the morning, wearing a relatively thick pile casual suit, but she was slender, and she had recently lost weight, and she looked taller and taller. Her long hair was tied in a bundle with a dark blue headband at the back of her head, revealing a white and elegant face, with a faint smile in her eyes, which looked quiet and elegant.
As soon as Tang Xiao was about to speak, he heard Cheng Lie on the side reply with a smile: "The eldest sister is not a soldier, she is a military family." Do you know what a military family is?"
"Know!" The little sister with single eyelids blinked wisely and said, "The military family is the family of the soldier, beautiful big sister, you are the wife of the big brother!"
The eldest sister's voice was a little loud, and for a while, the people around looked at Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao was not used to being looked at, so he was a little at a loss, but the next second Cheng Lie reached out and held her in his arms, raised his lips and smiled: "Yes, the beautiful big sister is my wife." ”
The two little girls became more and more excited, and someone next to them even whistled, Tang Xiao lowered his head slightly in shame, but Cheng Lie hugged her tighter.
The two little girls asked Cheng Lie all kinds of questions about the soldiers with great interest, Cheng Lie patiently answered them one by one, and while speaking, the team gradually moved forward, and after a while, the little sisters bought the buns, and had to reluctantly wave goodbye to Cheng Lie and Tang Xiao.
"Big brother, big sister, goodbye!"
"Goodbye. Tang Xiao thought for a while and added: "Study hard and make progress every day." ”
"Hmm, will the big brother and big sister come to buy buns in the future?"
This Tang Xiao can't be sure, after all, being able to come today is purely a whim of Cheng Lie.
"There will be time. Cheng Lie said.
The two little girls smiled and nodded, muttered to each other, and suddenly said in unison: "I wish the big sister and the big brother to have a baby soon!"
Tang Xiao was stunned, but the two little troublemakers stuck out their tongues and turned around and ran away.
Cheng Lie didn't know where to turn a few pieces of change to hand it to the aunt standing behind the tall steamer, the aunt looked about fifty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, her complexion was dark, but her eyes were clear, her smile was kind, she neatly filled Cheng Lie with a basket of steaming buns into the paper bag, and said casually and kindly: "Liezi, you haven't been here for a long time." ”
Cheng Lie smiled and reached out to take the paper bag: "It's been almost ten years, right? Aunt Li, do you remember me?" ”
"Remember, why don't you remember you?" Aunt Li said with a smile, "Those little boys back then were the naughtiest of you. ”
Cheng Lie smiled and said, "You have a good memory." ”
Aunt Li looked at Tang Xiao next to Cheng Lie, and couldn't help but praise: "Liezi, is this your daughter-in-law? ”
Tang Xiao showed a kind smile to Aunt Li, in order not to delay the people behind, Cheng Lie and Tang Xiao stepped aside, Aunt Li kept moving in her hands, and while loading buns for other guests, she said: "Liezi, you have to treat other girls well." ”
Cheng Lie raised his lips and smiled: "Do you still need to say this, my daughter-in-law, I don't hurt, who else can hurt." ”
Aunt Li nodded and said, "Okay, okay, bring your daughter-in-law to come often in the future." ”
"Okay, no problem. Cheng Lie glanced at Tang Xiao, "I promise that she eats your steamed buns, and she will come if I don't come in the future." ”
"Needless to say, our old Li family's steamed buns have ......been passed down from generation to generation," Aunt Li said honestly about her own steamed buns.
Most of the customers are regular customers, and they all smiled kindly, and some echoed casually: "Yes, the people around us, but they all grew up eating your old Li family's steamed buns." ”
After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, Cheng Lie carried the bag of buns in one hand and led Tang Xiao to the place where the car was parked in the other.
Tang Xiao asked, "Isn't there a place for customers to sit down and eat in the bun shop?"
Cheng Lie replied: "Small business, the skin and filling of the bun have been the best over the years, but the price has refused to rise for so many years, and no matter how much it is sold every day, it is just enough to recover the cost." ”
Tang Xiao couldn't help but be surprised: "Why?"
Cheng Lie groaned: "For the sake of conscience." The old customers of the Li family's steamed bun shop are all acquaintances, and the Li family has been loyal and honest for generations, and they will never be able to raise prices or cut corners to make money from their fellow villagers and neighbors for profit. ”
Tang Xiao thought for a while and said: "They have such a good reputation, isn't no one willing to join? It's a pity that such a good bun can't be promoted." ”
"They don't need to. Cheng Lie sighed slightly: "They have their insistence, as long as they make good buns, if someone joins, it will be impossible to make them according to their pricing and raw materials, and the buns that cut corners and are too expensive are not the Li family's buns." Xiaoxiao, in this world, everyone has everyone's persistence, they are like this, you or me, the same. ”
Tang Xiao didn't ask any more this time, nodded and said, "I understand." ”
When the two returned to the car, Tang Xiao opened the paper bag, and the curling heat and aroma immediately came to his nose, smelling such a fragrance, even the cold morning became warmer.
More than a dozen white and chubby buns were crowded together, with a pair of bamboo chopsticks on them, Tang Xiao was stunned, and handed the buns towards Cheng Lie.
Cheng Lie glanced at the chopsticks inside, and immediately understood Tang Xiao's intentions, there was only a pair of chopsticks, and Tang Xiao let himself eat first.
But Cheng Lie didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Tang Xiao and asked as a matter of course, "What's wrong?"
Tang Xiao did not doubt him, but still stretched out his hand and said, "There is only a pair of chopsticks in it." ”
"So, what's the problem?" Cheng Yeol's expression was quite upright.
Tang Xiao said helplessly: "You eat first." ”
Cheng Lie looked at Tang Xiao, and his dark eyes revealed a smile that could not be hidden: "Let's eat together." ”
Tang Xiao blinked his eyes and said suspiciously, "Huh?"
Cheng Lie said very calmly: "You can feed me." ”
Tang Xiao: "......" is not careful, this person is so thick-skinned?
"Isn't it good?" Cheng Lie looked at her for a moment, and his dark eyes actually revealed a meter of ...... Grievance?
No...... It must have been her delusion.
"Don't make a fuss," Tang Xiao said lightly, "Eat quickly, if you don't eat again, it will be cold." ”
Cheng Lie looked at her with interest and said, "So, you feed me, or you can also choose to let me feed you." ”
Tang Xiao was speechless, has the nature of this man's scoundrel been exposed again?
"Love to eat or not. Tang Xiao said indifferently.
Cheng Lie stretched out his hand to press his stomach, and looked straight at Tang Xiao: "I'm hungry." His voice was hoarse and tired.
Tang Xiao then remembered that he called Li Su last night and said that Cheng Lie had rested, hadn't he eaten since last night?
Looking at his face again, it doesn't seem to be very good, is it a stomachache?
"You...... Didn't eat last night?" Tang Xiao struggled to control his tone.
Cheng Lie pressed his stomach and said in a low voice, "No." ”
Even if Tang Xiao was angry again and didn't want to deal with him anymore, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It's hopeless.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"I'm tired. ”
Tang Xiao sighed: "No matter how busy and tired you are, you have to-"
"I know. Cheng Lie interrupted her, looking at her with heavy eyes, as if he could directly look at her heart: "Hey or not, if you don't let me eat something, I'm afraid I'm going to die of pain." ”
