Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Trip to the Town
Opening the gate of the yard, cooking breakfast, cooking pig food, feeding the pigs, and sweeping the yard are all things that must be done every day, and when Zhao Yunfei is busy with these, Han Tuo also swayed into the yard on a large tricycle.
After breakfast, Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo carried the 21-inch Peony brand antique TV into the body of the tricycle, and then carried Xiao Ji into the car, locked the door, closed the door, and passed by the door of Li Lanfang's house, Zhao Yunfei shouted Li Lanfang, Li Lanfang agreed, and floated out of the yard like a flower butterfly.
Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo rode in shifts, Li Lanfang and Xiao Ji sat on the body, because there was a TV, they were afraid of breaking it, so they rode very slowly, and they had to get down to push the cart where the road was not good.
The liveliest part of the town is near the town hall, which is the center of the town, with restaurants, shops, repair shops, barber shops, everything there, and the town middle school is also in the area.
Zhao Yunfei and they went to the repair shop first, the owner of the repair shop was a young man, eighteen or nine years old, with long hair, very fashionable, he disassembled the back shell of the TV, after some inspection, it was finally confirmed that the insurance was burned, replaced with the insurance, connected to the power supply, and the TV was immediately out of the house.
The happiest thing is Xiao Ji, who can finally watch cartoons at home, and can watch whichever he wants, and he doesn't have to care about other people's faces anymore.
The price of the small boss is very fair, only three yuan is charged, Zhao Yunfei thought that it would cost at least thirty or fifty yuan to repair the TV, and the repair fee of three yuan made him greatly relieved, and he felt that he had saved a lot of money.
The largest store in the town is an old-era building, and the large-character slogans and slogans on the wall still remember the absurd years of that era.
The whole store was filled with the sweet fragrance of pastries, and Xiao Ji stared at the cakes of various colors on the counter through the counter glass, looking very focused.
Zhao Yunfei knew that Xiao Ji wanted to eat cakes, but the poor sister couldn't even remember the appearance of her parents now, she hadn't had a good day, she couldn't eat snacks like cakes all year round, and she could only watch other people's children eat snacks, and she never asked Zhao Yunfei for anything.
"How much is this cake a pound?" Zhao Yunfei pointed to the kind of cake with a layer of cream in the middle and asked the salesperson.
"Nine dollars a pound, how much do you want?" The salesman said lazily as he got up from his chair.
"Weigh me four!" Zhao Yunfei said.
The salesman took a food bag and filled four cakes and put them on the electronic scale, a little more than a catty, eleven yuan.
Zhao Yunfei paid, took the bag from the salesman, went out of the store, first took out a piece of cake for Xiao Ji, and then gave a piece of cake to Li Lanfang and Han Tuo respectively, and the rest of the cake was wrapped in a food bag and put in his trouser pocket, ready to be kept for Xiao Ji to eat tomorrow.
Seeing Xiao Ji eating the cake seriously, Zhao Yunfei felt a burst of happiness in his heart, for him, there was nothing that made him happier than watching his sister eat delicious food!
"Mine let you take a bite!" Li Lanfang said heartily, deliberately sending the place where she had bitten to Zhao Yunfei's mouth.
Li Lanfang's family conditions are good, but they don't often eat cakes, out of the frugal nature of farmers, no one will buy a few catties of cakes to eat and play when they have nothing to do.
Zhao Yunfei took a bite without hesitation, and his mouth was suddenly filled with sweet and fragrant taste, soft and palatable-Zhao Yunfei couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten cake.
"Is it delicious?" Li Lanfang asked with an ambiguous expression, not knowing if she was talking about cake or something else.
"Hmm!" Whenever Li Lanfang spoke to him in a flirtatious tone, he would reply with one word.
Zhao Yunfei is still not good at words, which is probably related to his tragic childhood encounters, which caused him to have too many taboos in speaking, and also made his personality more introverted.
"Brother eats." Xiao Ji also gave the cake to Zhao Yunfei, and Zhao Yunfei took a symbolic bite, and deliberately chewed it, indicating that he had taken a big bite.
"Mine will let you take a bite, but you can't open your mouth too wide!" As he spoke, Han Tuo also brought the cake to Zhao Yunfei's mouth, but his fingers deliberately pinched most of the cake to prevent him from biting too much.
Zhao Yunfei deliberately opened his mouth wide, and even bit Han Tuo's fingers together.
Han Tuo was taken aback and hurriedly pulled out his fingers, but in this way, a large piece of the cake was bitten off by Zhao Yunfei.
"Ah, you're a whale's mouth, my cake......" Han Tuo exclaimed exaggeratedly, making everyone laugh.
When it was time to eat at noon, Zhao Yunfei was going to invite everyone to eat in the small restaurant next to the store.
To be honest, Zhao Yunfei has never been to a restaurant since he was born, and his sister Xiaoji is the same, Li Lanfang and Han Tuo have even gone to a restaurant once or twice.
They walked into the restaurant with trepidation, and there were not many people in the restaurant, and the waiter immediately came to beckon them to sit inside and serve the menu.
Zhao Yunfei studied the menu for a long time, and he didn't know what to order, so he handed the menu to Li Lanfang, Li Lanfang didn't know what to order after looking at it, and handed the menu to Han Tuo, waiting for the waiter to be in a hurry, and inhaled cold air in his mouth.
It seems that Han Tuo is still experienced, "Let's have four meat fried cakes!" Han Tuo shook the menu and said loudly to the waiter, and then said to Zhao Yunfei and them, "I went with my father to sell pigs, and I ate this in a restaurant, it is super delicious, you will know it as soon as you taste it, and I like it." ”
"Four portions of meat fried cakes!" The waiter hurriedly shouted and told the chef inside, for fear that the children would change their minds.
Several of them felt a little cramped as they sat in the restaurant, but fortunately, the restaurant served the food relatively quickly, and after a while, four large plates of hot meat fried cakes were served, and the aroma immediately rushed into their noses.
In the fried cake, there are bean sprouts, lean shreds, and shredded cabbage, the shredded cakes are cut as thin as bean sprouts, and the chef's skills are also good, the fried cakes taste very good, salty and fragrant, smooth and glutinous.
"No wonder people love restaurants, it turns out that the food made in the restaurants is really delicious!" Zhao Yunfei thought while eating.
While eating, Li Lanfang poked Zhao Yunfei under the table with her fingers, and whispered: "Look at the person who just sat down at the door, how does he look like the doctor Liu who treated Xiao Ji last time in the health center?" ”
The man sat at the table at the door, ordered an egg fried rice, and looked down at his phone.
Zhao Yunfei took a closer look and whispered to Li Lanfang, "It's Doctor Liu!" ”
Zhao Yunfei owes Dr. Liu a great favor, that time Xiao Ji had pneumonia, Dr. Liu not only waived the examination fee, but also paid the infusion medicine in advance, and finally stayed until more than eight o'clock in the evening, until Zhao Yunfei and they arrived before going home from work.
This kindness Zhao Yunfei has always kept in his heart, and always wants to find an opportunity to repay, but there are always things at home, and it is not easy to take time to come to town, and then there is really nothing that can be taken at home, although the gift is not enough to express the mood, but the mood is an ethereal thing, and it must always be attached to the physical object or actual action to be more meaningful.
