Chapter 52 Warm Family

It was already ten o'clock after watching the performance, and my stomach couldn't bear it at all. With the interaction, I had no energy anymore. Li Xiuzhe originally wanted to take me to a famous local seafood restaurant, but I heard that it took half an hour to drive, so I was reluctant to kill him. I chose a good nightclub that looked good. After the performance, there were many people sitting in the nightclub, and the atmosphere was very lively.

There were steamed red crabs piled up on the plate. When I broke the shells, there were oily crab roe inside, which was fresh and fresh. I was hungry and had delicious food. What's more, this seafood with good looks, I smashed a crab leg, pulled out the white and tender crab meat, and put it in my mouth with a smile. I ignored the appearance and made a big sound.

My favorite seafood is red crab and shrimp. Li Xiuzhe took a sip of beer and then slowly moved his chopsticks. I despised his slow movements, so I helped him open Yuanbeiri's fans into his plate, picked up the meat and put it into his plate.

I asked while eating, “It’s delicious!”

In the night stall with cloth tents, he was still noble and sitting on a rough bench. He said in a plain tone, "The fans here are not as delicious as those in Hangzhou! I will take you to taste it next time."

As soon as Li Xiuzhe said, a young man who served the dishes replied unconvincedly, "The seafood here is all about the original flavor, and the seafood we eat is just about seafood."

I quickly smiled and said, "This red crab is so delicious!"

The young man was just happy and continued, "People who have eaten the red crab here will never forget it. What we have less is publicity. If the publicity is good, it will definitely not be as good as the seafood in the south."

Yes! I responded and stuffed it into my mouth.

Li Xiuzhe actually listened to the young man patiently and occasionally asked about the local people's livelihood and customs.

In the blink of an eye, the three crabs turned into a pile of empty shells. The young man happily asked me, "Do you still want it? I'll give you a plate for free."

I was about to refuse, but the young man shouted in the kitchen inside, "Xiao Nianzi, you can fry another plate of red crabs."

The young man turned his head and chatted with Li Xiuzhe again. In fact, it was usually the young man who talked. Li Xiuzhe would occasionally nod and say a few words. The young man seemed to have seen a confidant, and naturally there were admiring gazes in his eyes.

The young man graduated from college and wanted to go home to play with himself. Unexpectedly, his ideals were full and his reality was sexy, so he got together with his classmates to open this night stall.

An hour later, my stomach could no longer accommodate food, so I shook my head, put down my chopsticks and touched my stomach. Li Xiuzhe turned around and said, "Are you full?"

I nodded, Li Xiuzhe took out his wallet to pay the bill, but the young man didn't charge the money. He delayed it a few times, so I handed it to a girl next to me, and it was obvious that it was the young man's girlfriend. The girl glanced at the young man and took the money.

Li Xiuzhe patted the young man on the shoulder and said deeply, "Three or four years later, this place will become a popular tourist attraction."

I left the night stall. It was late at night. There were not many guests walking. The street lights were lit up in a mess and the cold wind rustled. I put my hands on my mouth, vented out hot air and warmed my hands, and laughed intermittently. Li Xiuzhe's hand held my hand and put it in the pocket of his coat.

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did you say that this place will become a tourist attraction in three or four years?"

"The country is vigorously building a north-south metro. The internal news I received is that this is a must-pass station, which attracts travelers and also attracts investors. In fact, it has a very promising development prospect, which is that there is no prosperous commercial area."

I suddenly understood Li Xiuzhe’s thinking. There will be a commercial area belonging to Li’s family here soon! Will the men around me create a new miracle?

The corners of my mouth smiled proudly. The road was bumpy and there were a lot of scale left by ice water. I had to walk slowly around the scale. Li Xiuzhe's legs were long and I could only take a step. I had to jump over, and my body always hit Li Xiuzhe's body from time to time.

He asked helplessly, "Do you still want to leave?"

The car was parked in front of the night stall just now, and I stubbornly wanted to walk for a while. I shook my head and said silly, "No! I think it's very interesting. I remember when I was in elementary school, whenever it rained heavily and my father was at home, he would support me and my sister and I to take home with a big umbrella. When I was a child, I liked to run in the rain, so I often saw puddles and jumped over. In fact, I just wanted to get wet in the rain, but my sister and I were not wet at all, and my father's body was almost wet. He didn't scold us, let us make trouble."

I rarely mention my family to Li Xiuzhe. He looked at me and listened patiently, put his shoulder on my shoulder and asked, "You love your dad very much, right?"

"Of course, my daughter is my father's lover in his previous life." I answered for granted.

"Xiaoxiao, if there is a next life in this world, I just want you to be my daughter."

"Okay!" I didn't dare to look at him. I understood what he wanted to express, so I didn't dare to accept such deep love anymore.

It was late at night and the temperature dropped rapidly. I lived in the city and was surrounded by heat all day long. I have been suffering from this cold for a long time. My clothes were wrapped in thick and solid. I still don’t know where the wind poured into my clothes, from the sleeves, or from the trouser legs, and the coolness swam all over my body. The underwear that was close to my skin was cold and delicate.

There were even fewer pedestrians on the road, and a small light in front seemed particularly eye-catching, so Li Xiuzhe and I walked up there.

The small car on the roadside stall was filled with various shells and wind chimes. The stall owner was a couple. The woman had a square face that was too enthusiastic and overly smiling at us. She was about forty years old. She looked at us and asked, "Hey! Guests, you are traveling with a newlywed couple! Buy some wind chimes and go back to decorate it! The shells in our line are all real, not like those dyed by other homes. If not, you can take a look."

The wind chime swayed in the wind and made a crisp and pleasant sound. When the woman said this, I felt a little embarrassed, and I didn't want to deny the newlywed couple in the woman's mouth. Maybe in this strange place, in front of strangers, Li Xiuzhe and I could really be married.

"Do you like it?" Li Xiuzhe asked me. Recently, he has been used to asking me if I like it. It seems that if I say I like the moon, he will also do it.

I glanced at the boss lady who kept rubbing her hands. It was too late and cold. It was not easy for them to do business. I hurriedly replied, "You want it!"

The proprietress smiled happily and touched the man with her arm. "Put out the wind chimes that were packed in the box."

It seems that they are going to close the stall. When they meet us, I just said no, these wind chimes are also beautiful. The man looks dull, but his hands and feet are quick to move the boxes and take them out one by one.

The boss lady took the time to chat with us again. "The two seem to be really married. What's the word? A handsome man and a beautiful woman. When did you get married?"

Li Xiuzhe and I looked at each other, smiled, and did not respond.

After watching for a while, I picked out four wind chimes and took eight shells. When I paid, Li Xiuzhe gave the money to the boss lady, but the boss lady shook her head and said, "Give me a man! He cares about the money."

The man took the money and found the money. The woman said, "The last shell is given to them." The man took out another dollar.

Li Xiuzhe originally wanted to say he didn't look for it, so I reached out and pinched his hand.

As we turned around and left, the woman said softly, "Go back quickly! I'll go shopping tomorrow and buy some paintbrushes for the girl. She has been talking about it for several days."

In the middle of winter, covered with a layer of fog that seems to be there and there is no place. Li Xiuzhe and I walked side by side on the quiet street. Everything in front of us was like empty shadows, as gray as light sand floating on the surface. The wind filled with some water vapor, and it splashed on our faces, and wet all over our face.

My cheeks were cold, and when I touched my hands, I found that it was water. I shook the plastic bag in my hand. "Actually, I think the boss lady and his husband are very happy."

"Didn't you see that all the women take on business? The man is too dull. I think the boss relies on his wife to make a living. If he wants to sell, the whole family has to drink!"

I glanced at him and fought back without admitting defeat, "You, I like them very much, look! The boss's mouth is better than his men, but his husband is quick-witted. Although she is better than his husband, look, he always asks men to take care of money outside and give his husband face. She is a smart woman. Look at how tacit they understand and how harmonious they are. Although their lives are not rich, they are also very warm!"

As soon as I said something, I felt that Li Xiuzhe's eyes staring at me calmly, and I felt a little uncomfortable with that gaze.

I panicked and stopped talking, "We'd better go back quickly! It's too cold."

As he strides forward, Li Xiuzhe held my arm with his hand, and he looked at me with a puzzled look. "Do you really think that living in other people's faces all day long and making small profits to support your family. Is that kind of life worth envious?"
