Jinling love story

original book.However, there are too many books here. After reading one book, many new books will be introduced.Xia Ranjiang had to speed up his reading speed - the end of military training was great news for Xia Ranjiang, so he would have enough time to stay in the library.

At the entrance, Xia Ranjiang looked around the inside.Except for a few seniors preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations, there were almost no one there, which meant that Xia Ranjiang didn't have to occupy a seat.Xia Ranjiang threw his schoolbag on the seat in the corner and got up to get books from the bookshelf.

""Lonely Planet"..." Xia Ranjiang's slender index finger brushed across the neatly arranged spines of the books, stopped at the end of the bookshelf, and pulled out the book.

This book is one of them, and it talks about the customs and customs of Spain.Xia Ranjiang had read countless geography books of this kind, and he found it strange that this book appeared here.

I picked a few more at random.Xia Ranjiang returned to his seat, took the cup to the water room to get a cup of boiling water, tore open the tea bag, and threw it in.

Before he knew it, Xia Ranjiang finished reading the whole book.I suddenly became interested in this country that I hadn't paid much attention to before, especially the introduction of Spanish in it.Previously, when Xia Ranjiang was learning English, he often came into contact with vocabulary from Spanish, but now he has the urge to start learning Spanish.So I quickly put the book back to its original place, and went back to the small language bookshelf to find teaching materials on Spanish learning.

""Basic Spanish", "Spanish Made Easy"..." Xia Ranjiang flipped through the pages.

"Hi."

Xia Ranjiang suddenly raised his head, and saw a smiling face through the gap in the bookshelf.

"I don't know you anymore? Yu Qing."

The girl on the opposite side leaned closer, stared at Xia Ranjiang and whispered.

"Oh... hello."

Xia Ranjiang raised his hand stiffly, then slowly put it down.For some reason, Xia Ranjiang felt depressed when he saw her.

"Self-study?" Yu Qing continued to ask, before Xia Ranjiang could answer, she asked again, "Where are you sitting?"

"Well, self-study."

Xia Ranjiang turned his gaze to the seat in the corner.

Xia Ranjiang appeared very happy on the surface, but he began to feel a little disappointed.I could have enjoyed this huge reading room alone, but now I have to suffer this unexpected "surprise".

But so what?You can't escape, can you?Xia Ranjiang thought of countless possibilities in his mind, and finally decided to stay. At worst, he just pretended to have nothing outside of him, since he didn't know her well anyway.

Reading is not in the mood.Xia Ranjiang simply took out his laptop and continued translating.

Still feeling stumbling, all kinds of professional terminology and technical knowledge, the progress is very unsmooth.Xia Ranjiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and type word by word, seeing that the page comments had filled the entire right side of the screen.

"This Availability may be 'Accessibility', not 'Availability'."

Xia Ranjiang was about to make a comment when Yu Qing poured water and moved behind him to watch for a while.

"And this, the locker should be 'storage cabinet', not 'cabinet'. The technical term for script management is 'script management'."

"What do you know……"

Xia Ranjiang resisted in his heart.But when he reapplied those few words in the text according to Yu Qing's explanation, the obscure language suddenly became very easy to understand.

The uneasiness in my heart for the past few days was suddenly relieved.Xia Ranjiang quickly changed it.

"There is still here, can you help me take a look?"

Although Xia Ranjiang continued to remain expressionless, he still humbly asked for help in order to complete the task.

Yu Qing didn't speak, and took Xia Ranjiang's laptop with one hand and moved it in front of her and began to change it. Xia Ranjiang sat by and watched.

Yu Qing sorted out every sentence, like clearing mines, removing the red comments on the page little by little.Not only corrected the terminology, but also straightened out the logic. Xia Ranjiang almost felt enlightened when he read it, and the sense of resistance gradually disappeared.

At this time, Tong Zhe was about to come to the school to find Xia Ranjiang, and he brought some snacks. By the way, he returned the books that were due today to the library. Taking advantage of these few days to cultivate his interest in English, he found a few more English books to strike while the iron was hot.

The bicycle is parked at the door.After swiping the door control, Tong Zhe walked into the hall swaggeringly, as if he had entered the land of no one, and the sole of his foot slapped the marble floor, and there was a clear echo of "papa".

Previously, the language reading room on the first floor was Tong Zhe's forbidden area, and he would never set foot there.According to Tong Zhe's excuse, this place is dark, and people have been telling people that it is haunted - the type of books here is the source of his fear.Tong Zhe searched for a long time before finding this place, and found it row by row along the labels on the bookshelf.

"Linguistic theory, translation, Japanese and Korean..."

"English."

Tong Zhe went in.I picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, but found that I couldn't understand it, so I threw it back.

Tong Zhe frowned, and now he looked like a discouraged ball from his high-spirited and smug look just now, feeling that he overestimated himself a bit.

"Can this be translated here?"

Tong Zhe's heart trembled.Isn't this Xia Ranjiang?Tong Zhe followed the voice and walked to the other end of the bookshelf.

Tong Zhe hid behind the bookshelf, poked his head out, and saw Xia Ranjiang's profile. He was a little surprised, but more happy.But just as he was about to step out, he saw that Xia Ranjiang was not alone.

And with a girl.

I was still full of joy just now, but now I am at a loss.

Tong Zhe felt a tingling pain in a certain corner of his heart, like a rose, the bright red petals withered one by one, leaving only the spiky thorns.After staying for a few seconds, Tong Zhe took a few steps back and leaned gently on the bookshelf.At this moment, Tong Zhe didn't know whether he was angry or helpless, he just felt like he was being played with, and his wishful thinking was exchanged for ruthlessness.

After hesitating for a moment, Tong Zhe decided to leave the library.

When he was about to walk out of the library gate with his head down, the anger that had been suffocated just now has subsided a lot.The more I think about it, the more I feel a little unwilling.

"No, I can't just leave like this. I didn't even know what they were doing just now." Tong Zhe frowned, and began to think in his heart, "I can't bear this kind of uselessness. I will die knowingly."

Just as Tong Zhe was out of the gate, he swiped his card again to enter.

"Isn't this very good, maybe it's not what I think. Why am I so careless?"

Tong Zhe thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to leave, so he went out of the gate again.

"No, no, no, the logic is wrong. Since it's not what I thought, it means they don't have that kind of relationship. Then I have to make sure."

Tong Zhe took out his campus card again and entered the gate.

"Student, what are you doing? In and out."

The uncle at the door leaned against the corner of the wall, and somehow a harsh alarm sounded from the door control, which startled him.

"It's okay, it's fun."

Tong Zhe rolled his eyes, and continued to walk in with big strides.

Backtrack.Tong Zhe approached the row of bookshelves with small steps on tiptoe.Carefully pull away the few books in sight, just enough to see everything in a glance.

Yu Qing seemed to be aware of the smile at the corner of Xia Ranjiang's mouth, leaning silently on Xia Ranjiang's left side, and inadvertently touched Xia Ranjiang's exposed arm with her little finger. , gave Yu Qing a sideways glance, then quickly lowered her head, and leaned to the side.

"The weather is so dry that you can feel the static electricity..." Yu Qing blushed and said to herself.

"Electric sparks are produced by friction?!"

Tong Zhe vaguely heard the word "static", and guessed that the situation might soon get out of control. He just wanted to take a dictionary from the bookshelf to expand his field of vision, but the dictionary was too heavy and slipped down to the ground, hitting the ground with a bang. There was a lot of dust.

"Hey, senior, why are you here?"

Xia Ranjiang looked up and was startled at first, then stood up as if relieved.

"Let's see... the book."

Before Tong Zhe recovered from the shock, he bent down and picked up the dictionary.Originally, I wanted to say "come to see you", but when I caught a glimpse of Yu Qing next to Xia Ranjiang, his mouth seemed to be out of the control of his brain, so he quickly changed his mouth.

"I've been looking for this dictionary for a long time... Hey, what are you doing?"

Tong Zhe stood up, still holding the dictionary in his arms.

"Oh, haven't I been translating a document these days? I just met Yu Qing, she understands better, so let her guide me."

"Really?" Tong Zhe snorted and sneered. "It seems that I don't need my help?"

"Tong Zhe? We are in the same department, and I am a freshman." Yu Qing said.

"En." Tong Zhe scolded countless times in his heart, but he could only agree lightly.

"So it's the same kind, let's see how I treat you." Tong Zhe had already started to think in his heart.

Xia Ranjiang didn't seem to hear the meaning behind Tong Zhe's words, but just adjusted his sitting posture - just now his feet were resting on Yu Qing's pedals, but now they are straightened, with his toes pointing at Tong Zhe, and his hands naturally Slightly stretched over.

Tong Zhe was a little annoyed, so he didn't say anything at all, hugged the big dictionary tightly, and fell on the opposite side of Xia Ranjiang with a slap, sighed heavily, and pretended to be bored flipping through the pages. stand up.

Xia Ranjiang looked up at Tong Zhe, who happened to meet Tong Zhe's eyes.He quickly turned his face to the side and stared at the computer screen.

The two people on the opposite side didn't seem to notice Tong Zhe's emotional ups and downs, they were still living as before, word by word.

In Tong Zhe's mind, "stupid", "a bitch", "slut", and "shameless" are cursing like a bullet screen, and he can hardly see the normal picture.But no matter how upset you are, you can't break out on the spot.

Mood is important, face is more important.

The two people on the opposite side were still pointing on the screen, as if Tong Zhe didn't exist.Tong Zhe only felt as if a volcano suddenly arched in his heart, and it was only short of the last bit of pressure to erupt.But he still had to be reserved, suppressing his emotions that were about to ignite.

Gradually, he heard the problem from the conversation on the other side, and stood behind the two while he was going to fetch water.

"You made a mistake here."

Before Yu Qing could turn to the next page, Tong Zhe stopped suddenly, and paused heavily on the word "wrong".

"Huh? Where?"

Xia Ranjiang raised his head and stared at Tong Zhe.Tong Zhe seemed to see trust in Xia Ranjiang's eyes, as well as the hope of winning the round.

"excuse me."

Tong Zhe suddenly regained his confidence, and gave Yu Qing an authoritative and sharp look.Yu Qing hesitated, but stood up flusteredly and leaned against the edge of the table beside her.

Tong Zhe turned to the previous page, wrapped his hands around Xia Ranjiang's neck, pressed the shortcut key to restore all the two lines that Yu Qing had changed, and then added a few words.

"The original translation was correct, you corrected it wrong."

Tong Zhe said, but didn't look at Yu Qing directly.

"Let me see."

Yu Qing was a little suspicious, with a hint of provocation in her eyes, she walked over and wanted to stand between the two of them.

"That's right, it's better to understand it this way? I remember this sentence in our textbook."

"Textbook? Are you still studying that "Introduction to Cloud Computing" in your freshman year? It's a broken book full of mistakes and omissions, completely out of date."

Tong Zhe looked serious, squinted at Yu Qing's flushed cheeks, and snorted.

"But books are dead, but people are alive. People make mistakes, let alone wrong textbooks."

Tong Zhe sat on Yu Qing's chair and raised his feet, like a teacher admonishing a student who made a mistake.

"These technical theories are rapidly iterative, let's take a look at the latest research, classmate."

Tong Zhe suddenly regretted it at this moment.It's not because I'm aggressive, but because I feel that my tone is very similar to my sister-in-law. I can't help but sigh that the genes of the family are indeed in the same strain.

Yu Qing didn't speak, and put her hands behind her back, her fingers crossed unnaturally.

"Is there any more?"

Tong Zhe kept the sitting position just now and stopped for two or three seconds. Seeing that Yu Qing was silent, he turned his head and asked Xia Ranjiang.

"No more, the latter is relatively simple, I can handle it myself."

"Then I'm relieved. If you don't understand, you can ask me." Tong Zhe stood up and walked to the opposite side while talking. "If I'm not here, I can ask someone else to teach me."

"Ah."

"It's noon so soon." Tong Zhe was in a blustery mood at the moment, his eyes narrowed.Stepping over from Yu Qing's seat, she began to pack up her things scattered on the table and carried her schoolbag. "Eat lunch together?"

"Okay." Xia Ranjiang stretched his waist, and said to Yu Qing, "Shall we go together? I treat you today, so I should thank you two."

Just as Yu Qing wanted to agree, Tong Zhe deliberately threw the dictionary on the recycling rack as if he was shooting a basketball, and turned his head to give Yu Qing a hard look, with an eagle-eyed look on his face, wishing he could eat her alive.

"I... I won't go, I still have an appointment at noon."

"Okay, thank you then."

Yu Qing lowered her head, her eye circles suddenly turned red.When tidying up the books, I knocked over the cup in a hurry, and the splashed tea almost wet the keyboard of the notebook.

"Then let's go, bye."

Tong Zhe raised his smiling face, like a well-fed cat waiting to go to the balcony to bask in the sun.

Along the way, Tong Zhe was whistling, and Xia Ranjiang was sitting in the back seat, stuffing glutinous rice cakes that Tong Zhe gave him one by one.

"Delicious, right?"

Tong Zhe listened to Xia Ranjiang unpacking in the back, and every time he unpacked one, he felt a little more happy in his heart.

"It just so happens that I didn't eat in the morning, so I don't need to have lunch this afternoon."

"How is it possible? Then don't eat it, keep it all, and you still have lunch later."

"Lunch, of course! Just kidding."

Xia Ranjiang heard the seriousness in Tong Zhe's words, and poked Tong Zhe's waist with his finger.

"Do you want to die..."

Tong Zhe dodged subconsciously, but still held on to the handlebar tightly, trying to keep his balance.

"By the way, did you just confirm that you were looking for a dictionary?"

"……yes."

"But... are you sure you've found the right one? Since when did you become interested in British and American literary theory?"

"I like it, you don't care." Tong Zhe didn't sound guilty at all, but his mouth was full of reproaches. "Let me ask you, how did you two know each other?"

"It's a long story."

Xia Ranjiang dragged his voice and took a deep breath.

"That's a long story short."

"We met during military training."

"Let me tell you, as a buddy, I don't think that girl is so easy to deal with. She must have plans for you. It's best to stay away from her."

"Why do I feel the strong sour smell in the air?" Xia Ranjiang joked.

"I'm just jealous, why?"

As Tong Zhe said, he accelerated towards the speed bump ahead, almost shaking Xia Ranjiang from the back seat.

After riding for about 10 minutes, the two arrived at Shanghai Road and stopped at a tea restaurant.

Tong Zhe ordered curry beef noodles, Xia Ranjiang ordered Hainanese chicken rice, and sat down at a booth by the window.

"Hey, let me ask you, what have you been doing these days?" Tong Zhe asked after eating a large piece of beef.

"Didn't I already say, translate, earn money. After completing this material, plus the previous material, you can earn 2000 yuan." Xia Ranjiang was obviously hungry. "But fortunately you are here, otherwise I don't know when I will do it. According to the current speed, the manuscript can be delivered tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Um……"

Tong Zhe mixed the curry sauce with the rice and watched Xia Ranjiang bury his head in his meal.Every time he watched Xia Ranjiang eat, Tong Zhe felt an inexplicable sense of security, and he could put all his troubles behind him.

"Huh? You mean you haven't paid for the work you did before?"

"Nope."

Xia Ranjiang stopped and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that others will renege on your debt? Why don't you settle it once?"

"Probably not." Xia Ranjiang was also a little worried, "No, this translation company is relatively large, and the remuneration is relatively high."

"Just be careful, there are all kinds of scammers now. It looks like you've worked hard, and you can't rest even on vacation."

"Isn't that how money is made..."

"Hey." Tong Zhe blinked and touched Xia Ranjiang's arm, "I have a way to make money that is especially suitable for you."

"Huh?" Xia Ranjiang's eyes suddenly started to light up.

"There is a competition, and the top few will have at least 1 yuan in prize money. Do you want to have a go?"

"..."

"And it's not just about bonuses." Tong Zhe put down his spoon, leaned over and said in a low voice, "This kind of competition can be counted as credits. In the future, you will be awarded scholarships, insurance research, enough to make you kill everyone in seconds."

"so smart."

"Want to go?"

"I thought about it, but..."

Xia Ranjiang put down his chopsticks, lowered his head slightly to avoid Tong Zhe's expectant gaze, as if Tong Zhe was waiting for a chance to change his destiny, not himself.But he clearly felt his heartbeat start to speed up.

"I've heard of that competition. It seems that there are no freshmen going, and it's about to start soon. Let's forget it, I will just write and write. I will be nervous about such things on the stage."

"Become famous early, buddy." Tong Zhe heard Xia Ranjiang's hesitation, and started to attack. "I'm very supportive of you. Just say whether you want to go or not. I'll do it for you."

"Yes." Xia Ranjiang gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's right."

Tong Zhe looked at Xia Ranjiang, tilted his mouth and showed a weird smile, but saw that Xia Ranjiang had a serious face just now, and now he was staring at him and laughing, Tong Zhe felt hairy.Just about to ask what happened, Xia Ranjiang picked up a tissue from the right side of the table and held it to his mouth.Tong Zhe realized that there was still curry on his mouth, and pouted, thinking that Xia Ranjiang would wipe it off for him.But Xia Ranjiang suddenly turned his hand away and stuffed the tissue into Tong Zhe's palm.

"Wipe yourself!"

In the afternoon, the two of them went to bookstores, shopping malls, and pedestrian streets as before.The streets and alleys of the whole city are covered with national flags, a sea of ​​red.Tong Zhe rode a bicycle and took Xia Ranjiang to eat and stroll along the way.Unknowingly, the sun has set to the west.

"Hello? Mom, what? You don't come home at night? Then what will I eat? What? You won't come back tomorrow? You won't take me with you when you go on a trip?!"

Tong Zhe was fighting fiercely with Xia Ranjiang in the game hall when the mobile phone rang in a hurry.

"Ugh……"

Tong Zhe stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket and sighed heavily towards Xia Ranjiang.

"what happened?"

Xia Ranjiang was still holding the handle with both hands, and his attention was almost completely locked on the screen.

"My mother went out to play, and I was the only one left at home."

Tong Zhe spread his hands, straddled the bench, tilted his head and looked at Xia Ranjiang lonely.

"Where's your dad?"

"I have been working on projects in Africa all year round, and I only come back at the end of the year."

"It's not very good, no one in the family has much freedom."

"No one cooks for me, alas, I want instant noodles again."

"What kind of noodles are you making, you cook yourself!"

Xia Ranjiang said, his crazy hands finally stopped, and he bowed his waist contentedly.

"Say it as if you would."

Tong Zhe muttered and stuffed a game currency.

"Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"Oh, the tone is not small!"

Tong Zhe was a little overjoyed.If someone else said that, Tong Zhe would definitely not believe it, but when Xia Ranjiang said it, Tong Zhe felt it was very credible.And, for some reason, there was a burst of warmth in my heart.

"It's almost there, let's go."

Xia Ranjiang looked at his watch and patted Tong Zhe on the shoulder.

"Where?"

"Buying food."

When it comes to grocery shopping, Tong Zhe still remembers it fresh.That was when he was seven or eight years old. Once at home for dinner, he wanted stewed radish ribs, so he took the money and went to the vegetable market to buy radishes.After walking for a while, I found that there was a new game hall opened on the side of the road. I felt itchy, and after struggling for a long time, I turned in.After fighting fiercely for half an hour, they were continuously defeated by the masters.

At first, Tong Zhe was going to play for a while and then stop, but then his mind became hot, and he swore in anger that he would not give up until he got back.When all the money was squandered, Tong Zhe had to walk out of the game hall with his head drooping, only then did he remember that he hadn't bought the radish yet.

Tong Zhe knew that he would inevitably get beaten up when he went back, so he could only think of a way while going home.As I was walking, my eyes suddenly lit up. At the crossroads ahead, I don’t know which one had set up a field in front of the door. It seemed that the radishes were planted in it!

Tong Zhe ran over, looked around, found no one, took a few steps back and jumped over the fence with a small sprint, and pulled out a big leaf when he saw it.Sure enough, this is a big carrot!Now Tong Zhe is relieved.One, two, three, until the end is really unable to pull out.

When the work was done, Tong Zhe happily walked home with a bunch of radishes humming a little song.But that night, just as the family was drinking radish rib soup around the dining table, the owner of the radish came to the door.So the beating that night became the shadow of Tong Zhe's life, and his memory is still fresh.

"What are you thinking about? You haven't been concentrating on cycling. Are you hungry and have no strength?"

Xia Ranjiang's words made Tong Zhe jump out of painful memories.

"I think, in fact, as long as you have an idea, you will never die of hunger." Tong Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and the speed of the car increased significantly. "Far water can't save near fire, let's settle it first and then talk about it later."

Xia Ranjiang turned around and took a closer look, and there was a huge supermarket in front of him.

Tong Zhe pushed the shopping cart, stepped on the pedal below, and slid forward with one foot.

"There are a lot of things here, but they are not cheap. Can't you bear it? There is a vegetable market nearby."

Xia Ranjiang held the shopping cart with his hands, for fear that Tong Zhe would accidentally bump into someone.

"Hey, you sit on it, I'll push you. Look there, the twins are sitting in the shopping cart, how cute they are."

"I don't sit, and I'm not a child."

"Hey, we haven't finished talking yet, do you want to learn from my brother?"

"Learn what? A shopping cart as a skateboard?"

"Is that all I can do?"

Tong Zhe stopped and pointed to the cooked food area not far away.

"Come and see, fresh ham, buy one get one free, buy one get one free..."

Before Xia Ranjiang could react, he saw Tong Zhe rushing over in three steps.

"Is this delicious?"

Tong Zhe's eyes were fixed on the bits and pieces of ham on the glass counter.

"Of course it's delicious, you can try it."

This sentence hit Tong Zhe's heart, he quickly took out a toothpick, tied three or four pieces of ham, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Hmm, it seems to be pretty good..."

Tong Zhe closed his eyes slightly, chewing slowly.

"But it's a little salty, I put a little too much salt, I'll try it again."

Tong Zhe didn't notice the gloomy face behind the counter at all, picked up a toothpick, specially picked the lean ham, and after a while, there were only two pieces of meat that didn't look so fresh in the whole plate of ham. .

"How much do you want to weigh?"

"I'll take a look and come back later to buy together."

While talking, Tong Zhe hurried away and went straight to other areas.

Xia Ranjiang finally understood that Tong Zhe's job was not to buy vegetables at all, but to solve an urgent need.

But a few meters away, Tong Zhe went to the Mimian area again.But before he could get a firm foothold, the lady cooking instant noodles in front of him quickly dumped all the noodles in the small paper cup into the trash can as soon as she saw Tong Zhe coming.

Tong Zhe cursed in his heart, but still pretended to be careless, and walked around to the back shelf area.

After shopping for more than ten minutes, Tong Zhe's shopping cart was empty.

"It's such a big supermarket, you can't buy anything." Tong Zhe put his arm around Xia Ranjiang's shoulder, hiccupping constantly.

"Come on, you're full, can you still eat tonight?" Xia Ranjiang squeezed Tong Zhe's ears angrily. "You don't know how embarrassing it is. I heard the two aunts talking just now, saying that the taster is here again. This child is not homeless."

"Hahaha, who asked them to provide samples, how can I buy it if I don't try it properly?"

"You haven't tried it yet? Hiccups are so bad that you can't speak well. You have been eating for many years, and you have become an old regular customer."

"I can't help it. I was poor when I was a child, and I can live a good life only by trying these foods."

Tong Zhe stared at Xia Ranjiang.

"Cut, poor people have backbones too. I won't eat."

"Hey, didn't you eat the noodle cooker just now?"

"That's what she gave me."

"When you talk about it, you get angry. Why would you rather throw away the instant noodles and not give me the instant noodles when you see me?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Xia Ranjiang softened his tone, knowing that he was wrong. "Tell me, what to do now, I didn't buy anything."

"Go to the vegetable market?"

"Row."

After a while, the smell of the air began to become complicated, the earthy smell of vegetables, the smell of fish, and the smell of cooked food merged together, and the sounds of shouting and selling not far away came and went, gradually becoming clearer.

"arrive."

Xia Ranjiang jumped out of the car and walked confidently to the vegetable market.

"What kind of food can you cook?"

Tong Zhe timidly followed Xia Ranjiang, looking around vigilantly.

"It depends on what you want to eat."

Xia Ranjiang stopped at the tomato stand, picked up a pink tomato and weighed it.

"Can you make radish rib soup?"

Tong Zhe blinked his big eyes flickeringly, full of anticipation.

"Simple."

"Forget it, let's change to sweet and sour pork ribs. I like this better." Tong Zhe also turned over a tomato. "Make scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"Master, weigh these two tomatoes."

Xia Ranjiang took the tomatoes from Tong Zhe and handed them along with the one in his own hand.

"Buy another fish, I'll try to make a Thai lemon fish."

"Ah."

"It seems to be short of soup."

Xia Ranjiang wandered around for a long time but didn't find any suitable ingredients. He turned to Tong Zhe, who was carrying a bag full of hands behind him, and asked, "Do you eat straw mushrooms? The straw mushrooms I saw just now are quite fresh, and you can make straw mushroom lean meat." soup."

"You can do it. I can do it."

Seeing Xia Ranjiang's professional expression, Tong Zhe suddenly had a rare admiration.

"Four dishes and one soup... But I have never bought straw mushrooms before, and I don't know the price, it is probably very expensive..."

Xia Ranjiang was thoughtful, with a look of hesitation.Weighing the few remaining coins in his hand, he realized that the two brand new big red bills had been turned into large and small plastic bags, hanging on Tong Zhe's body where he could hang things.When Xia Ranjiang raised his head, Tong Zhe tilted his head and smirked at him, like a Christmas tree full of presents.

"I have a way."

Tong Zheteng made a move, moved his shoulders, and winked at Xia Ranjiang, signaling him to pay attention behind him.

"Huh?" Xia Ranjiang turned his head to look inexplicably, but there was nothing but crowded vegetable stalls and the sound of hawking.

"Behind, the one who buys straw mushrooms. Let's go and listen."

Seeing that Xia Ranjiang hadn't reacted yet, Tong Zhe pulled Xia Ranjiang and walked back, the plastic bag on his body shaking from side to side with his steps.

"Let's just stand here, and you'll buy it later, so you won't be cheated."

At this moment, the two were facing the vegetable stall selling straw mushrooms, but between them and the vegetable stall was an old lady with a cloth bag in her left hand. Although it was clean, it seemed to have been used for a long time. Logo, there is a patch under the logo, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.

Auntie stood in front of a pile of straw mushrooms, staring at them for ten seconds, touching this and that, muttering inaudible words from time to time.The vegetable vendor looked at Auntie, then at the straw mushrooms, his face gradually became less pretty.

"My straw mushrooms just arrived this morning. They are very fresh, auntie."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't think it's that fresh, young man."

"Can I still lie to you? I've been doing business here for more than half a year."

"How much do you sell this for?"

"61 pounds."

"61 catties? You're so unprofessional! Be my old woman at the age of [-], right? I've bought vegetables for my whole life here, and what you're selling is a tribute straw mushroom, and it's not that expensive!"

The aunt's eyes were wide open, her voice suddenly rose an octave, and the word "old woman" was emphasized a bit, and a mouthful of saliva flew right to the vegetable vendor's forehead.Xia Ranjiang thought it was funny, but kept holding back.Turning around, Tong Zhe didn't seem to respond, he was looking at him solemnly, as if expecting something.

A few yells attracted the attention of the people around, and the vegetable vendor was a little embarrassed.

"All right, auntie, the market is going to be closed anyway, what do you say?"

"forty!"

The aunt stretched out her palm, and almost stuck five thick fingers on the vegetable vendor's face, but then she realized that something was wrong, her thumb slowly rolled down, and the other four fingers trembled slightly.

"All right, all right, how much do you want?"

"What can I do, 40 jin!"

"Huh?" The vegetable vendor looked in disbelief.

"Sell it if you sell it. If you don't sell it, you will be knocked down. Anyway, there are plenty of vegetables in this market."

The aunt made a gesture to leave, but her eyes stayed on the straw mushroom.

"All right, all right, then I'll give you two catties... Hey, your aunt is really good at bargaining..."

Satisfied, the aunt quickly tore a plastic bag from the stall.Maybe it was because she had picked it out just now, and the aunt put all the straw mushrooms in the corner into plastic bags without hesitation.I paid the money happily, grabbed two more and threw them into the cloth bag.

As soon as the aunt left, Tong Zhe stepped forward. Before the vegetable vendor could react, he also tore off a plastic bag and began to put the remaining straw mushrooms in the corner.

"Weigh me a catty."

Tong Zhe handed over the plastic bag, took out a 20 yuan note from his pocket and patted it on the desk.

"Sixty a catty."

"What sixty? Didn't you just say 40 taels of catty? I can't eat that much, just a catty, which is exactly twenty. Will you sell it? Don't sell it and go away."

The vegetable vendor choked without saying a word, rolled his eyes, threw the straw mushrooms onto the electronic scale, grabbed a handful and threw them in again, which was exactly one catty.

"Where was that aunt just now?" Tong Zhe turned around and asked Xia Ranjiang.

"There."

"Let's go, hurry up and see what else is left to buy."

"Hahaha, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have to work so hard. You can at least spend half of the money on all the dishes."

The two followed the aunt not too far away, and bought wax gourd, chrysanthemum brain, lean meat and so on.If the aunt hadn't found out that there was a follower behind her, and turned her head to give them a fierce look, Tong Zhe would have followed them all the way to the end.In the end, it wasn't just Tong Zhe who had a whole body of food, Xia Ranjiang was also a whole body of food.

The two walked around the vegetable market for half a circle, and finally bought all the ingredients they wanted to buy.

"Why do I feel that buying so much cauliflower is more expensive than eating instant noodles?"

Tong Zhe was riding a bike with "trophies" hanging on both sides of the front of the bike, and the plastic bags swayed freely following the rhythm of Tong Zhe's pedaling.

"Can that be the same? I don't eat instant noodles, junk food."

Xia Ranjiang tightly grasped the edge of the back seat with both hands, the car was dangling, and he almost lost his grip several times.

"You mean I'm a trash can..."

"I didn't say..." Xia Ranjiang moved forward, afraid that Tong Zhe's brain would have another cramp and knock him down. "Don't eat instant noodles in the future."

"Unless you cook for me for a lifetime."

"Then you have to find your wife."

"Aren't I carrying it?"

"roll."

Tong Zhe only felt a fist hit his back with a muffled sound.This punch seemed to be encouraging, and his tired feet suddenly gained momentum.

Xia Ranjiang's hands were a little numb, and his upper body, which had been kept slightly upside down, was also a little stiff, and he began to adjust his sitting posture a little uncomfortably.At this time, Tong Zhe grabbed the fist that had just been stretched out. Before Xia Ranjiang could react, he put his hand on Tong Zhe's waist, and leaned his head on Tong Zhe's back , his nose was immediately filled with the smell of lemon on Tong Zhe's clothes, as well as bursts of hot and humid breath.

Xia Ranjiang wanted to escape, but was held down by Tong Zhe.After two or three quick breaths, Xia Ranjiang gradually gave up struggling, and the hands placed on Tong Zhe's waist slowly dropped, and they were naturally placed in the recess.

The moment Xia Ranjiang put his hand on his waist, Tong Zhe trembled instinctively, but his brain strongly controlled his body to avoid further reactions.After confirming that Xia Ranjiang would not dodge again, Tong Zhe smiled, and his lowered eyes began to look straight ahead.

Passing through the busy neighborhood, Tong Zhe turned his wheels to the side alley, and the hustle and bustle outside was immediately isolated, as if he had entered another world.The world is no longer a colorful neon, singing and dancing
