Chapter 4 When I want to see you off, I will drop by from east to west, from north to south
The brother and sister appeared in front of Gu Lingyi, which shocked her.
"Brother~"
Gu Lingyi called Lu Man weakly, and she looked at Lu Xiaoshuang again: "This is Xiaoshuang, she has grown so big and has become so beautiful."
"Sister Ling Yi is early!" Lu Xiaoshuang was able to remain a little well-behaved in front of outsiders, "Long time no see you."
When Lu Man heard Gu Lingyi call him brother, he wanted to laugh for no reason.
Because childhood sweethearts met since childhood, Luman was half a year older than his twin sisters, so until they graduated from college, they both called him "brother".
The biological sister doesn't shout, but the future wife will yell at the same time as her "brother".
"Have you lived at my grandma's house last night?"
The community where Lu Man’s family is located is close to Experimental Primary School and No. 1 Middle School. Their father Gu Yan bought several properties here for this. The grandparents of the Gu sisters live in the building next to Lu Man’s family. In order to facilitate schooling, the two sisters often live in their grandma’s house.
"No, I've come from home." Gu Lingyi's eyes turned to the pharmacy, "I want to buy some medicine here."
"The medicine here is cheap?" Lu Xiaoshuang asked.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lu Man asked.
Gu Lingyi heard the brother and sister ask questions at the same time and smiled slightly.
It seems that Lu Xiaoshuang is a carefree boy, but Lu Man is more careful and considerate.
"I bought it for my mother." She explained patiently, "Mom often feels uncomfortable in her throat, and the soaked orange red is quite effective. It's not because of the price..."
Gu Lingyi was a little embarrassed, her voice became weaker, a bit like mosquito words: "The pharmacies near my home always like to sell other medicines. I... I'm embarrassed to reject them..."
Seeing her like this, Lu Man understood why she had been standing at the door of the pharmacy. It turned out that she was thin-skinned and dared not communicate with strangers.
He hooked up at Gu Lingyi and said, "It just so happens that we want to buy something, let's come in together."
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that he was about to enter the store, Gu Lingyi seemed to have met a savior. She looked at him gratefully and immediately followed him like a small tail.
As soon as he entered the pharmacy, Luman told the clerk that he wanted to call some red oranges. The clerk did not go to get the medicine as soon as possible. Instead, he asked about Luman's symptoms. Before Luman could answer, he turned around and went to the counter to get some grass coral loquat paste or even hardcover vc to promote it.
Lu Man deliberately did not speak and looked at Gu Lingyi behind him.
The little girl bit her lips, with a timid expression on her face, and her eyes looked eager for help.
Lu Man was amazed at the sight. Is this still the future Gu Lingyi who has 70 ways to love him?
Is this his little wife who can be both a stovetop (although the cooking is not delicious) and a charming (although the request is excessive)?
"No need, it's going to turn orange red. Please trouble you, I'm in a hurry."
...
After leaving the pharmacy, Gu Lingyi held a pack of medicine and even breathed a sigh of relief at the door.
"Huh--Thank you brother, thank you Xiaoshuang."
"I've bought the medicine, are you going back now?"
"Um."
"Then I'll give you it. Xiaoshuang still has homework, so she'll go home first."
"I have no homework! I'm done!" Lu Xiaoshuang's eyes widened.
"No, you have it." Lu Man glanced at the extra sister with a sideways glance, "Even if not, you have to pass by Xinhua Bookstore when you go to Ling Yi's house, and you will have more."
"Lu Xiaoman, you are such a dog!" Lu Xiaoshuang grinned at him, "Come back and bring me two bottles of Sprite, you pay!"
"make a deal."
"I want the mint smell!"
"You are so verbose."
After passing Xiaoshuang to walk, Luman looked at Gu Lingyi.
She whispered to refuse: "Brother, you don't need to send it. You have to go around the distance."
"Let's go." Lu Man ignored these things and gently pushed her, "When I want to send you, we will go along the way from east, west, south and north."
"oh……"
"Give me the medicine, and I will carry it for you."
"No, it's very light."
"It's not a problem to be gentle." Lu Man started to write the reason, "The main reason is that I was empty-handed and you were carrying things. I saw it by the old ladies on the roadside. Believe it or not, until I graduated from college, they all had to talk to me behind my back, not knowing how to take care of the little girl."
"It's not that exaggerating." Gu Lingyi could not resist when she heard him say this.
Fortunately, it was not someone else. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and let him take over the medicine.
...
Cao County, a small county town, is located in the economically underdeveloped southwest Shandong. More than a decade later, it became popular because of the anchor’s “Cao County Niu Bi 666” and was nicknamed “Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou Cao”.
But apart from the glamorousness of internet celebrities playing with memes, being silent and contented is what she should have been.
The famous local industries are film studio costumes and Hanfu. Luman's parents are doing related businesses and have to wait for e-commerce to develop before they can take off in the east wind.
The second is the coffin fertility, which is currently mainly concentrated in townships. The coffins made with the rich Paulownia wood in the local area are light and tough, resistant to moisture and corrosion. They are deeply sought after by Japan in the east. They are sold overseas and contracted 70 to 90% of the funeral business in the island country. If you have to say, almost every Japanese is sent away by Cao County, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Walking on the streets of Cao County, there are a few more clothing stores here, and there are more mutton soup restaurants with the signature of Dan County next door, which is no different from thousands of small northern counties.
Ordinary, nameless, and civilized, are the words "local" that you will miss more or less after working from home.
The two walked along Qinghe Road, shoulder to shoulder. After passing a row of roadside stalls, they heard shouts.
"Northeast chicken skeleton, buy one pound and get one pound, and it's fried and sold now!"
"Handmade pearl milk tea, one yuan, 51 cup - don't you want a cup for your baby?"
"Our stinky tofu was air transported from Changsha. It doesn't taste good, no money..." This sentence was released in a trumpet cycle, and it will be this set of words in more than ten years.
In other places, attracting customers is mostly a range attack like "passing by and taking a look".
But the stall owner here is too enthusiastic and turns into a damage caused by locking belt tracking. I will directly call you accurately.
"Miss a little girl? I'll give you some bargain."
"Daughter, have you eaten it? Take two cakes back?"
Luman felt his arms were gently wrapped around.
Turning his head to look at Gu Lingyi, the girl pouted her mouth with anger, obviously her whole body was so nervous that she was tense.
Lu Mann couldn't help laughing and said, "Why didn't I find out before? Are you so afraid of being alive?"
"I...I...I'm already done with this."
Gu Lingyi almost burst into tears: "I usually come here with my family."
If Lu Man hadn't been with her, she would have to bypass this place when she went back alone today.
As he spoke timidly, Gu Lingyi's big eyes blinked, and her eyes kept lingering on various snacks.
Luman saw it, what a guy, so timid that he hadn't forgotten to eat.
Her eyes were shaking, and she soon settled on a stall with crispy boneless fried chicken fillets and couldn't move it away. Her little nose moved inadvertently.
When this girl wants to eat snacks, she will be like a little squirrel with her head raised and her neck stretched out. Lu Man is mostly focused on her and captures her thoughts as soon as possible.
He stopped and said, "Wait for me a while and go buy something delicious."
"Brother...wait for a moment~"
Gu Lingyi saw Lu Man going to the chicken fillet stall and spoke out to stop him.
"Let's change the other one. That one was originally an old man's stall." Gu Lingyi said, "The old man fell and injured recently. Now his son is selling it."
Lu Manyi was happy, and she used all her enthusiasm to greedy cat attributes: "The taste is different?"
Gu Lingyi shook her head: "His son turned off the electronic scale's display to customers."
As if he was afraid of other people's eavesdropping, Gu Lingyi stood on tiptoe and his lips were closer to the road. "I could clearly feel that the weight he called was insufficient. Humph, I was short of weight behind my back."
Lu Man stared at her with interest, smiling.
Gu Lingyi was a little uncomfortable, maybe she was acting too foodie. After thinking about it, she added: "These... were all told by Jiaer, well, it was her."
"Hahahaha." Lu Man ignored her crooked blame, "You just comment on whether it tastes delicious?"
"It's delicious, the best in He City, but..." Gu Jiayi whispered in a low voice.
Lu Man understood her simple thoughts. If she went to that stall to buy, the stall owner's son would not correct the trick of stealing the stakes.
"Then let's be fair and discuss it. If you have the same opinions, listen to you if you have different opinions, please listen to me if you have different opinions. OK?"
Luman proposed.
Gu Lingyi's little head didn't turn around. At first glance, it seemed very reasonable and nodded subconsciously.
"I want to challenge this one, you want to go to another."
"Um…"
