Chapter 109: Human Connection
After eating, Yi Nuo personally took Su Xiaoting to the guest room where she lived, the only difference from when she left was that the page of Su Xiaoting's handwritten song sheet had disappeared, but the two of them tacitly did not mention it.
"Doesn't seem to have anything to take!" Except for a few pieces of clothing and used sanitary ware.
"Then you don't have to tidy it up, by the way, I almost forgot!" Yi Nuo looked at Su Xiaoting's gentle smile and mustered up the courage to take out a delicate transparent box.
"On New Year's Day, Xiaohui and I saw it on a space trip and thought it looked good, so we bought it! Do you like it? He said in as bland a tone as he could.
Looking at the necklace of unknown material in the box, there is a rosebud carved from a red spar.
"For me? This spar is so special......" There seems to be a streamer flashing inside, and it must be very expensive, considering that this may be Yi Nuo's way of expressing his gratitude, Su Xiaoting accepted this heart.
"It's beautiful! Thank you~"
It seemed that a mist of water had drifted in Yi Nuo's heart, and those withered and wilted plants began to sprout branches and grow leaves again, growing towards the sun.
"If you like it!"
————————————
Because she got along well with An Ran, Su Xiaoting refused the accommodation that Yi Nuo arranged for her. Instead, I rented a similar small single room near An Ran.
At the same time, in order to take care of the emotions of the two, they accepted the protection of the stealth bodyguard hired by Lin Ke on the dark web with a lot of money!
It's not that she is holding it up, but she vaguely feels that her current strength already has the strength to fight Huang Lengyi, at least she won't lose as ugly as last time.
In other words, as long as it is not suspected by those who have a heart, it is enough to just protect yourself.
In this way, after Su Xiaoting finished class in Xichen, she was ready to fight in Ontario. Before leaving, she went to the southern suburbs to say goodbye to An Ran.
"Let's go, I'll invite you to have a big meal at Granny Hatsuma's! Let's have a good chat~" An Ran pretended to be happy and said.
However, in this cold winter day, the mood is quickly brightened to be accompanied by delicious food and friends.
It is the coldest season of the year in the imperial capital, and although the urban area is full of greenery, the gathering area in the suburbs is a three-way zone, without the embellishment of greenery, it looks more and more dilapidated and deserted.
It was only at noon that people began to walk out of the door and gather together in sunny places. If it weren't for the outstanding effect of future energy-saving technologies, I am afraid that even heating and water supply would be a problem here.
Walking all the way on the frozen hard road, Su Xiaoting hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't say anything to let An Ran go back with her.
After all, Mu Ziyou confessed like that, before he recovered from his illness, I am afraid that he would not want to be a burden to An Ran again, so why should she break the last bit of thought between the two!
"Here we are! Come on in~"
Su Xiaoting looked up from the fugue and saw bright colors, not only because the walls of this family restaurant were lemon yellow, but also because the long table on one side of the wall was full of vegetables, fruits and vegetables.
Each one was ridden with a small rice bowl, and it was full of spikes. There are red cherry tomatoes, emerald green cucumber segments, orange steamed pumpkin, fried eggplant, ham sausage, braised eggs, and so on.
"Mother-in-law Chu Jiang, we're coming~" An Ran shouted at the figure who was busy in the transparent compartment.
"Yo, Xiao An, why is it so early today~ It's only past 11 o'clock, and I haven't finished serving the food yet!" An old but refreshing voice came.
"It's okay, you're busy first, I just want to come to your place to have a good time, and by the way, take this little sister to taste your food here."
After that, she picked up two buffet plates and handed one to Su Xiaoting, "Let's take some casually and talk while eating!" ”
"Yes!" Su Xiaoting glanced at the silver-haired old man with some curiosity in his back, and the kitchen that was as neat as new, followed An Ran to take a few foods, and then sat down in a secluded corner.
"The food here is very fresh, and it is very clean~ but it may not be at the level of those restaurant chefs!"
"Why, I like to eat light, and there are so many dishes in this area!" Su Xiaoting sandwiched a few vegetables and fruits, which were really fresh and crisp.
Just looking at the amount of food on the table, it is enough to serve fifty or sixty people. How many people can come to the buffet in this gathering area?
As far as she knew, it was almost a meeting place between the sick village and the urban destitute class.
An Ran seemed to guess Su Xiaoting's question: "This is the restaurant with the best reputation in the gathering area, it is said that it has been open for 10 years, because my mother-in-law has not increased the price, and only charges 35 alliance coins per person!" ”
"Wouldn't it? Is it possible to make money in this way? "Just the price of a fast food in the central area.
"Heh, not only that, grandma still has three non-acceptances."
“?” Su Xiaoting listened respectfully.
"Do not take money from people over 75 years of age; No money is charged for children under 2 years of age; Finally, for genetic patients, only half price! ”
When An Ran said this, she didn't know what she thought of, and laughed deliciously: "However, sometimes it depends on the mood of my mother-in-law!" ”
Isn't that ...... "the more you sell, the more you lose?"
"Xiao An, this friend of yours is really delicate~" Granny Chu Jiang walked out with a pot of freshly made croquettes and said kindly:
"Alas~ little girl, eat more! You have to be fat to look good~"
"Hey~ Thank you, mother-in-law......" Su Xiaoting asked curiously, "Don't you use an automatic cooking machine to cook so many dishes?" ”
"No, there is not enough at home, but I bought an automatic vegetable washing and cutting machine, and there are often enthusiastic neighbors who come to help, which is enough!"
"That's it~ Then you also spent a lot of money to open this store, right?"
"Alas, it also cost more than 100,000 yuan at that time~ The money was used like a fart~"
"Poof~" Su Xiaoting and An Ran couldn't help laughing, but not only did they not think she was rude, but they thought that this grandmother was really cute.
"Mother-in-law, you are so energetic!" Su Xiaoting asked again,
"But if you charge this price, won't you be busy in vain~"
"Hey, it's just poor and happy! I'm happy to see someone eating my cooking and chatting with me~"
At this time, some guests came in one after another, and the mother-in-law of Hatsuchan said, "I'm going to be busy first, you guys eat slowly~"
"No wonder you brought me here! Mother-in-law is really optimistic~" Su Xiaoting smiled.
"I used to think the same thing, and then I found out...... She had a rough time when she was young, but she was helped to cheer up, so she often said that she should be as kind as possible to people, especially those who need help. ”
"It is said that grandma has to subsidize five or six thousand union coins from her pension every month, but she insists on opening this canteen!"
The two chatted for a while, and the restaurant gradually became full, and laughter came from time to time.
