Sweet 80s

It was like letting down some defenses, and also like making an unprecedented decision.

After leaving the office, Yang Hongxia felt better.

Even my feet were clear, and I unconsciously quickened my pace as I headed towards the noodle shop...

At the same time, Lin Xiangdong's car parked safely at the Lin family's old house.

After deciding to return to his hometown a few days ago, Lin Xiangdong called to inform his parents.

Before they got out of the car, they smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen in the yard.

It’s okay if he doesn’t want to eat, but as soon as he smells the fragrance of the food, Dabao’s stomach starts to growl uncontrollably.

As soon as the car door opened, he jumped out from the back seat and ran quickly into the yard.

Shouting loudly to grandpa and grandma.

When Grandpa Lin Sifang heard the shouting, he quickly walked out of the house.

Seeing the tender and lovely face of his eldest grandson, he couldn't help but smile and walked towards him, holding the eldest treasure in his arms.

"Oh my, my baby is growing so fast. In two years, grandpa won't be able to hold you anymore..."

Grandma Li Xiuzhi, wearing an apron, came out happily from the kitchen.

Seeing the children coming in one after another, the two old people couldn't suppress a smile that stayed on their faces for a long time.

"Erbao."

Li Xiuzhi squatted down, and Erbao trotted all the way and rushed into his grandmother's arms, followed by a big kiss on the face.

"Grandma, I miss you so much!"

Now, Li Xiuzhi smiled even more happily.

Until I saw Yan Shengnan come in.

The two old people noticed the conspicuous and terrifying white bandage on her head one after another. Their faces suddenly darkened, and their solemn and serious expressions were filled with heartache.

Li Xiuzhi put Erbao on the ground and came to Yan Shengnan.

Yan Shengnan glanced at Wang Shuping, as if to convey a "don't worry" signal, and then walked towards Li Xiuzhi.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I was collecting wheat last time and I didn't come back for my monthly exam. I missed you so much."

Li Xiuzhi didn't care about what she said at the moment, and touched the other person's face with surprise.

"What's going on? How...is your head...hurt?"

Lin Sifang didn't say anything.

But there was anxiety and worry in his eyes, and his inadvertent frown revealed his inner uneasiness.

Yan Shengnan grinned and chuckled a few times, then spoke in a calm and slow tone.

"It's okay, grandma, don't worry. I accidentally bumped my head while playing in Shunze. It's no big deal..."

"How did you get hit? Where did you get hit? It's so swollen, it looks scary..."

Li Xiuzhi still looked worried.

"When I was passing through the cave, the entrance was too low and I didn't pay attention, so I just got a little scratched, but my mom insisted on wrapping my head like a dumpling..."

Yan Shengnan held a nonchalant attitude.

Every word that came out of his mouth seemed to float out leisurely from the bottom of his heart, without any urgency or tension.

Make those who hear it believe it involuntarily.

Although she felt heartbroken, she was still worried and turned to look at her favorite daughter-in-law, Wang Shuping.

Nowadays, the only way to respect the elderly is to conceal the truth.

Wang Shuping smiled calmly and continued speaking along with Yan Shengnan's words, describing the whole process vividly and emotionally.

Lin Xiangdong also interrupted to explain.

"Yes, mother. I called my fourth sister and she told me to change the medicine a few more times and then remove the bandage. Don't worry, it's really okay."

Only then did Li Xiuzhi really believe it.

She slowly relaxed her brows and took Yan Shengnan's hand and walked into the house.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xiangdong and Wang Shuping looked at each other, shrugged and breathed a sigh of relief.

For lunch, Li Xiuzhi specially made her granddaughter Yan Shengnan’s favorite stew.

The whole family was eating happily.

Lin Xiangdong held the bowl and used chopsticks to pick up the various ingredients in the bowl and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's Nan Nan who has the face. Today's stew is much richer than last time, and there are also fried meatballs..."

He picked up a few meatballs and put them into his mouth.

"Carrots, green peppers, meatballs, and even the steamed buns are better than last time..."

Lin Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and looked at his mother with squinting eyes: "Mom, why do you treat me differently?"

Li Xiuzhi saw that her youngest son started talking nonsense again and explained with a smile.

Wang Shuping curled her lips and gave Lin Xiangdong a look, then said to her mother-in-law Li Xiuzhi.

"Mom, don't pay attention to him. When he's happy, he'll blurt out anything he wants."

Yan Shengnan chuckled a few times and continued.

"My uncle loves to joke around. During the few days I stayed at his house, I was very happy with laughter every day..."

Yan Shengnan's unintentional words caught Li Xiuzhi's attention.

She suddenly stopped what she was doing and put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"Nannan, why are you living at your uncle's house?"

At this time, Yan Shengnan realized that he had said the wrong thing.

No matter how smart she was, she was still a child after all. When asked suddenly, she was choked up and couldn't answer.

Fortunately, Wang Shuping reacted quickly and immediately took over the conversation.

"Won't Fourth Sister come to pick her up in a few days? When she goes to Shunze and comes back, she'll have to meet the right time..."

After saying that, Wang Shuping raised her hand and touched Dabao's little head beside her.

"Dabao and Erbao have loved playing with Nannan since they were little, so I thought of bringing her over to stay with me for a few days. It would be difficult for us to meet in the future..."

Wang Shuping is Li Xiuzhi's most satisfied daughter-in-law.

In his own mind, he even surpassed his own daughter in some aspects.

So even if I don't believe what she says, I will understand it.

So, Li Xiuzhi nodded and said no more about the matter.

The other side of the city.

As promised, Zhou Zheng arrived at the Hele noodle restaurant that Yang Hongxia mentioned.

A yangko band with gongs and drums was invited to the front of the noodle shop.

The bustle attracted many people to stop and watch, and business also flourished.

People flocked into the store to try the new flavor.

Bowls of hot noodles were served on the table.

The fresh soup cooked with mutton bones for a long time, the chewy noodles, a spoonful of solidified mutton oil and chili, and sprinkled with garlic leaves are really fragrant.

It can also be paired with the Central Plains people’s favorite cold dishes in summer to enhance the flavor and reduce the temperature.

It's simply a perfect match among perfect matches.

All the tables were filled with people, and by the time Yang Hongxia arrived, the seats were already completely occupied.

The owner was too busy to take care of them. He apologized a few times and was called away by the customers.

The turnover rate of snacks is very high, but there are also many customers waiting in line.

Yang Hongxia knew that the owner, as her friend, would definitely not charge her for her meal.

So just as she was about to discuss it with Zhou Zheng, the other party spoke before her.

"Looking at the situation, we can't have this meal today. How about we go somewhere else?"

Just what she wanted.

Yang Hongxia nodded in agreement: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou, I called you here but you didn't get to eat."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Let's come back to this store in a few days. I know a good place. Come with me. I'll treat you!"

Then, the two of them went to another small restaurant.

Zhou Zheng often doesn't like to go home, so he has many opportunities to eat out.

Hongyun Dumpling Restaurant is a place he often visits.

The two came to the door.

Zhou Zheng praised this store a lot.

"Their dumplings are ranked second in Nanhe City, and no one dares to claim to be the best. Their various stir-fried dishes are also quite good. I just don't know if you like dumplings."

"I like it, especially the one with lotus root and pork."

"Oh, what a coincidence! Lotus root pork is their specialty. Come on, sister, I'll let you taste it today!"

As soon as the two stepped over the threshold, the owner walked around the counter and greeted them warmly.

"Master Zhou is here..."

"coming!"

The shop owner looked Yang Hongxia up and down and saw that she was beautiful and not much different in age from Zhou Zheng, so he smiled and ordered the wrong pair.

"This... this is my sister-in-law, she is so beautiful..."

The two didn't expect the other party to misunderstand them and waved their hands to deny it.

Zhou Zheng's old face also turned red and he hurriedly explained.

"No, no, friend, friend."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and led them to the seat where Zhou Zheng usually sat: "Hurry up and sit down."

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and waved: "I won't sit on the first floor today. Please give me a room on the second floor."

"Okay, please go upstairs!"
