"Brother, you are not allowed to touch a drop of alcohol in the future!"

"Are you still sleeping? If not, then wash up quickly."

Lu Man changed the subject: "Go out early and try Yicheng's glutinous rice soup."

Gu Jiaer touched her arm and felt a little cold after turning off the air conditioner.

When the road around him was full just now, his whole body felt like a big heater, even a little warm.

It's a bit freezing now.

Lu Man saw that her shoulders and arms were exposed. He pulled out a shirt from his suitcase and said, "Put it on first."

Gu Jiaer snorted and took it, then turned to the sink.

…

Next to the hotel, there is a motorcycle rental shop. Since the distance to the printing and packaging factory is not close, I rented one when I was on the road.

"It's still Mulan."

Stepping on the pedal and putting on his helmet, Lu Man patted the back seat: "Come on, Jia'er."

These days, scooters are still a popular travel trend, because vehicles under the Mulan brand name of Qingqi Group are the most common, and they once became synonymous with motorcycles in that era.

At the same time, the only ones that could compete with it were the street models with red paint and silver frames like the ones in the advertisements that said, "Motorcycles that are popular all over the world, great fortunes."

“Why don’t we have this kind of store in our university town?”

Lying behind Lu Man, Gu Jiaer had a strange look on her face, blowing in the morning breeze, giving her a sense of déjà vu as if she was in a Taiwanese version of a school drama.

“Several schools in our university town are so close together, but it’s a bit far to go to the beach.

Unlike here, Yicheng Normal University merged several agricultural schools and several industrial schools, with a planned area of ​​several thousand acres. In total, there is no campus larger than theirs in the whole of Asia.

The name will definitely be changed to Yicheng University in two years, and I’m afraid students will collectively petition to open on-campus buses.”

However, in a few years, Haiqu City will popularize the rental of electric vehicles, and students will be able to ride to the beach for dates and fun.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to accompany Ling Yijia'er to the beach - well, why do I subconsciously want to spend time with the two sisters?"

Lu Man smiled inwardly. Before his rebirth, he and Gu Jiaer were in a relationship when they were in college. But every time they went to the beach, Gu Lingyi, who was obviously very introverted and fearful, would uncharacteristically volunteer to go with them.

Over time, Lu Man got used to it. Whenever he went to the beach, the twin sisters would pack their swimsuits together, and he would accompany them both.

I originally thought that Gu Lingyi was worried about her sister. After all, a swimsuit revealed more than her daily clothes. Lu Man still regarded her as her sister and was afraid that he would take the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Now that I think about it, I am just being slow.

"It's almost the end of the year. The sea water can be freezing to death, so we definitely can't go there."

"But there seems to be a hot spring restaurant on the beach! Go back and find a chance to arrange one!"

…

I met Lan Jin, the flower shop owner, at the glutinous rice soup restaurant in the factory area.

The big bones are boiled into soup, and the fire is boiling. When it is poured into a porcelain bowl, the chicken and duck eggs are cooked instantly and become fluffy.

Supplemented with pepper, sprinkle with chives, and layered with chicken or mutton, it is fresh and sweet.

Three bowls of shredded chicken grits soup are served.

Lu Man brought another plate of mixed mutton and a small basket of fried cakes.

Soak the cake in glutinous rice soup, or add some homemade oil chili peppers and pickles, and take a bite.

"Tsk tsk, it smells good."

The road is filled with contentment.

The two girls looked much more elegant when eating. They scooped up the soup with a spoon and sipped it, picked up the fried cake with chopsticks and chewed it slowly.

Lan Jin also had a few newspapers on hand. Looking at the layout, they were already old items with outdated dates.

Noticing Lu Man's gaze, Lan Jin smiled and explained: "My store has a birthday bouquet service. I originally wanted to do something innovative, but it failed."

"I want to give the birthday person a copy of the newspaper from the day he was born. The first page can also be used as wrapping paper."

"But some old newspapers are too expensive. One page costs ten or twenty yuan. And the news content of the day may not necessarily include disasters or critical articles, and it is not suitable for packaging of bouquets."

Lu Man gulped down the glutinous rice soup. After finishing half the bowl, he touched his chin.

"How about switching to a foreign newspaper? Purely in English."

"Forehead?"

Lan Jin blinked, his eyes full of confusion: "Foreign newspapers are more expensive and harder to buy."

"But, there is a database of English newspapers." Lu Man reminded.

Lan Jin's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes shone with surprise.

Lu Man continued: "There are many newspapers that provide free PDF files for downloading. Every issue of newspapers from after World War II to today is available. Even if you pay, the annual fee is not too expensive."

"Yes, you can download it and print it directly!" Lan Jin nodded happily.

Gu Jia'er looked at Lu Man, then at Lan Jin, who was in high spirits, and she put down the spoon in her hand.

They were chatting a bit too speculatively.

"Brother, is that so?" Gu Jiaer immediately joined the discussion to show that she was still here. "Another advantage of English newspapers is that many people can't understand them, or they don't know how to read them carefully!"

"Things that are half-understood actually have a more aesthetic feel."

Gu Jiaer said while thinking: "Because the content of English news itself has been ignored, everyone will pay more attention to the layout and decoration of the newspaper. At a glance, the bouquets packaged in English seem to be more fashionable."

"That's the truth."

Lan Jin rolled up the old newspaper into a stick shape and slapped the palms of his hands twice.

"Lu Man, little Gu, I would feel bad if I didn't thank you properly - you have done me a big favor."

"I just provided two sentences of ideas. Senior sister is too polite."

…

Gu Jiaer resisted for a while before giving up Lan Jin's idea of ​​inviting them to dinner later.

In the morning after breakfast, the three of them first went to the printing plant equipment agency. As usual, they asked about some details about purchasing the machine and looked at the standard contract.

During this period, Gu Jiaer kept following behind on the road, like a little surveillance tail.

Although because of the lack of sleep last night and the extremely poor quality of sleep, my little head drooped from time to time.

But she still watched Lu Man attentively and asked him to maintain a "safe" distance from Lan Jin.

This big pig must not be allowed to have a chance to be alone with the flower shop proprietress! This is Gu Jiaer's strategic purpose.

But when Lan Jin received a call to move the car and temporarily left the factory area, Gu Jiaer's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

"Brother, I'm going out to get some fresh air and buy two bottles of water."

Lu Man stretched out three fingers: "Three bottles, don't forget Senior Sister Lan Jin."

"...Okay." Gu Jiaer felt a little itchy, but reluctantly agreed.

Putting on her headphones and playing some music, Gu Jiaer walked towards the convenience store at the end of the street.

When she came out carrying water, she heard a shout at the door.

"Roasted sweet potatoes—roasted sweet potatoes that are fragrant and flowing with honey—"

She touched her pockets and saw that Lu Man still had her wallet on her, but she still had some change, so she stopped the old man selling sweet potatoes.

An old man was riding a tricycle. There was a white-painted earthen stove fixed inside the carriage, and steam was rising from the low pillar column.

After choosing two big ones, Gu Jiaer thought to herself, if that bad guy Lu Man said he wanted to share the food with Lan Jin, then it would be exactly what he wanted, and the two of them would share the food with the other.

"It rained all night~ My love overflows like rain~"

The phone's ringtone rang, and Gu Jiaer smiled brightly when she saw the caller ID.

"Hey~ha~~Lingyi Lingyi!"

Hearing her sister let out a long yawn, Gu Lingyi smiled and said, "How are you today, Jia'er? From your voice, did you feel like you didn't have a good rest last night?"

"It's not just that I haven't had a good rest! Let me tell you, Lingyi!"

Gu Jiaer became angry when she mentioned what happened last night.

"Brother kept me awake for half the night!"
