After Chen Yuanyuan and the others had a rich meal of Guicheng home-cooked food at Zhang Linlin's house, they chatted for a while at Zhang's house, and then the three of them got up and said goodbye to Zhang's father and Zhang's mother.
After Zhang's mother reluctantly said goodbye to the three of them, Zhang's father drove the three of them to the largest snack street in your city.
There are a lot of snacks in the snack street, such as crispy glutinous rice cake, rice tofu, roasted tofu fruit, potato cake, etc. The three people who were already full filled their stomachs even more.
Zhang Linlin took Chen Yuanyuan to a nearby food stall and bought a lot of folded ears, saying that she would prepare cold folded roots for her in the future, which scared Chen Yuanyuan and shook her head.
"I really don't know why you two can't eat Zheergen. Isn't the bamboo and grass root herbal tea in Guangdong made from Zheergen?" Zhang Linlin said with a smile.
"Then you still can't get used to Xiangcheng's stinky tofu, isn't it also made of tofu!" He Yuehua said with a smile.
"OK OK, I surrender! Let's go, I'll take you to eat something good at a shop owned by my junior high school classmate." After leaving the food stall, Zhang Linlin saw that it was getting late, so she took Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua to take a taxi.
In about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the door of a small shop, and a girl with a thin and yellow complexion wearing an apron walked out of the shop.
"Linlin! Long time no see. Come in quickly. Everything is ready." Yu Xia stepped forward and pulled Zhang Linlin into the store.
"My junior high school classmate Yu Xia, let me introduce to you, they are Yuanyuan and Ah Hua." Zhang Linlin introduced.
"Ah, hello, Zhang Linlin always mentions you two every time she goes back to her hometown." Yu Xia pulled the mask on her face to cover the wound on the bridge of her nose and said with a smile.
"Hello, does your shop make silk dolls? I remember one time Linlin returned to Xiangcheng and brought them to us to eat." He Yuehua noticed Yu Xia's discomfort and changed the subject.
"Yes, yes, you still remember, I bought it at her house at that time." Zhang Linlin said happily.
"The freshly made silk dolls are more delicious. You guys sit down for a while and I will bring them out right now." After saying this, Yu Xia went to the kitchen and took out a large tray. Zhang Linlin noticed several bruises on Yu Xia's arms.
"Yuxia, you..." Zhang Linlin was about to ask.
"Eat quickly. If it's not enough, I'll give you more!" Yu Xia hurriedly interrupted Zhang Linlin and pulled down her rolled-up sleeves.
More than 20 kinds of small dishes are neatly placed on the tray, including shredded radish, folded root, kelp, cucumber, pickled radish, fried soybeans, paste pepper, lard residue, fried peanuts, celery, crispy whistle, etc., colorful The side dishes are mouth-watering.
Chen Yuanyuan picked up a piece of pie crust, a paper-thin pancake the size of the palm of her hand, and sandwiched it with her favorite side dishes and secret sauce. After one bite, the spicy and sour taste made people unable to stop.
"Your silk dolls are so delicious, Zhang Linlin, why don't you learn this craft? Every time I ask you what your specialties are, it's cold folded ear root and fried watermelon rind!" Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"The watermelon rind is delicious, but you won't let me cook it!" Zhang Linlin said, pretending to be angry.
After eating the silk dolls, the four of them chatted in the store. Yu Xia listened to the three's travel plans with an envious look on her face.
Chen Yuanyuan saw that it was getting late, so she contacted Xiao Li and asked him to pick them up at the store.
After Xiao Li arrived, Yu Xia took out two large incubators and asked them to take them to the car.
"Here is a box of crisp whistles, which can be eaten with porridge, noodles or as a snack. The other box is of silk dolls. You can pack them and eat them when you are hungry on the road!" Yu Xia said.
"You must tell me if you have anything, don't keep it in your heart." Zhang Linlin said to Yu Xia seriously after taking the incubator.
"Well, I will. Come and sit down next time. Have fun and have a safe trip!" Yu Xia said with a smile.
"Take good care of yourself." Zhang Linlin stepped forward and hugged Yu Xia tightly, quietly put a stack of cash in his apron pocket, got in the car and left.
In the car, Zhang Linlin couldn't help but tell Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua about Yu Xia.
After Yu Xia graduated from high school, she could have attended a good university and had a bright future.
But Yu Xia's brother has also reached the age of marriage. In order to raise money for his marriage, the Yu family forced her to marry a street kid from the same village for a gift of 180,000 yuan.
Yu Xia's husband was usually uneducated and would do something to Yu Xia when he lost money in gambling. However, for the sake of her three-year-old daughter, Yu Xia could only tolerate it again and again and did not make the heart to divorce.
As time went by, she could only bow her head in the face of life. Her long-term patience made her lose the luster that a girl in her twenties should have.
So Zhang Linlin felt sorry for Yu Xia's experience just now, so she could only give her some cash. If he transferred money to her, her husband would find out and use it for gambling, and he might even get a beating.
After hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh. The saddest thing for people is not that they have no way to escape, but that they can obviously take a prosperous road, but they are cut off by the hands of their loved ones.
