Chapter Ten Contentment

Most of the stalls in the night market are barbecues, with some special local delicacies mixed in just to add some variety.

Tang Xu and Qin Zheng walked through the alleys composed of vendors, looking at the dazzling array of snacks.

Ice powder, chicken wings with rice, octopus balls, potato tarts, short crispy pork...

Coupled with a variety of grilled skewers, it didn't take long for the two people sitting in the rest area to have the table in front of them filled with food.

In addition, two bottles of large white pears in glass bottles were given to the Baita Night Market, and also gave this night trip a strong sense of ritual.

Qin Zheng took a sip of a big white pear through a straw and then burped.

"It costs five yuan for such a large bottle, which is really cheap and high-quality."

Qin Zheng looked at the green glass bottle in front of her and nodded, feeling very satisfied.

"It's just an ordinary pear-flavored soda, but it's something very memorable for this city, and it's also the taste that people remember."

"It seems that Tang Chu you are a nostalgic person. You are obviously only seventeen years old."

"Seventeen years old is enough to see the changes in this city. Besides, if nothing had changed, the place where you live now would still be my home."

Tang Xu took a big sip of Dabai Pear soda, and the urge to burp overflowed from his throat due to the outflow of carbonic acid, but he resisted.

"So you still miss the days when you lived there?"

"I can't even talk about missing you. My dad said that as long as you are with your family, it doesn't matter where you live."

"Then at least you can live with your parents now, so you should be quite happy."

"My parents have been away from home for a long time, and I don't know where they went to travel. I am the only one at home now, and oh no, there is also the dragon cub."

"Dragon cub?"

"Long Zai is our family dog. He is older than me. He is a very ordinary black and white dog. He usually doesn't like to talk to people and always likes to sleep."

"If I have the chance, I really want to meet it. After all, there are only a few dogs with such long lives."

"When you see it, it doesn't like to talk to you. Except for my mother, it almost never listens to what others say seriously."

"Then if I don't ask you out on WeChat to go to the night market together, what will you eat at night?"

“Quick frozen dumplings.”

Tang Xu shrugged and spread his hands, helpless.

It's not that he doesn't know how to cook, he's just too lazy to do it.

When you live alone, you can fool yourself if you can.

"Then you have to thank me. I let you eat the night market food."

"It's not like you invited me to eat, so why should I thank you? Besides, I also acted as a free guide for you, so you should thank me."

Qin Zheng did not argue with Tang Xu, and rolled her big, watery eyes, and quickly said, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

This question immediately caught Tang Xu's attention.

There is really nothing he can do for Qin Zheng...

"Tsk, I thought you would let me pledge myself to you."

Qin Zheng pretended to have a look of regret, her expression was extremely regretful.

"Can you please stop speaking so casually? Besides, who would want you?"

"Oh haha."

Qin Zheng was noncommittal about this, biting into a grilled squid skewer on a bamboo stick, she saw a familiar figure behind Tang Chu from a distance, who was helping to move a beer box.

Qin Zheng pointed behind Tang Xu. When Tang Xu saw it, he immediately stood up from his seat.

Tang Xu took the handle and took the beer box off the electric pickup truck.

"Hey, Brother Chu, why are you here?"

When Chang Le saw that the person helping him carry the beer was Tang Xu, his face immediately burst into laughter.

"This is not about going out to the night market at night and helping you become a free labor force."

"Brother Chu, I'm so touched, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"

"That's not necessary."

Tang Xu continued to help unload the goods. After unloading ten boxes of beer, it was considered finished.

The two people leaned on the electric delivery vehicle and breathed a sigh of relief before Tang Xu spoke again.

"Are you delivering goods to your house again?"

"Yes, it will cost more to find someone else to give it to me. I earn my father's money. This is called not going to other people's fields."

Chang Le scratched his head and grinned, looking careless.

"Brother Chu, I'm going to buy two bottles of big white pears so that we can quench our thirst."

Chang Le raised his feet and was about to leave, but Tang Xu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"You can just buy a bottle, I have it myself."

Tang Xu pointed to the rest area in front of him. Chang Le took a closer look and saw Qin Zheng sitting there.

Chang Le suddenly realized it, and at the same time, he fisted his hands together.

"I understand, brother Chu, you are dating Qin Zheng."

"You know shit."

Tang Xu slapped Chang Le on the back of the head. Chang Le quickly dodged and ran to buy Dabai Pear soda with a smile.

Qin Zheng had been watching the process of Tang Xu helping Chang Le move the beer box. When Tang Xu walked towards her, Qin Zheng directly handed over Tang Xu's bottle of big white pear soda.

"Thank you for your hard work, good brother."

"ha?"

Tang Xu was stunned by Qin Zheng's address, but he still took off the straw that came with the bottle, raised his head and took a few sips of the soda.

"When I saw Chang Le moving goods, I immediately ran to help him subconsciously. He is nothing but a good brother."

"Tsk, I'm used to it. His dad is a liquor supplier in many places in the local area. Although there is usually a person responsible for delivering drinks, his family lives near the Baita Night Market, so he took the initiative to stop this job and help.

His father pays him to deliver drinks."

Tang Xu explained, while Qin Zheng was a little confused.

"According to what you said, his family situation shouldn't be too bad, so why would he do this kind of work-study program? Is he saving the extra money he earned from his father for his future dreams?

"

Tang Xu shook his head and placed the empty glass bottle on the table in front of him.

"He's in the game."

"..."

Qin Zheng only felt that her mother tongue was speechless.

"At the beginning, I also felt that it was hard-earned money that he had earned through his own sweat and hard work. Although he was free to do what he did with the money, it is not always a good thing to recharge games."

"Then what did he say?"

Qin Zheng asked next, and Tang Xu looked at Chang Le running towards him with two bottles of big white pear soda with a smile, and his expression became a little more serious.

"Chang Le said that as long as people live and do things that make them happy, that is enough."

Qin Zheng's eyes followed Tang Xu and fell on Chang Le, who was running towards the two of them.

"Brother Chu, I don't know you yet, but I know that your big white pear is not enough to drink, am I right? Here, have another bottle!"

Chang Le had a carefree smile on his face. Although there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his whole person looked very sunny and refreshing.

"Qin Zheng, do you have enough to drink? If you don't, I'll buy you another bottle."

Chang Le put his arm around Tang Xu's shoulders and greeted Qin Zheng.

Tang Xu looked disgusted, but Chang Le saw it in his eyes and remained unmoved, hugging Tang Xu a little tighter.

"I don't need it, thank you."

Qin Zheng responded with a smile, and the smile on her face became stronger when she saw Tang Xu being trapped by Chang Le's arm and unable to move.
