Full Sugar No Ice

Chapter 35 Emerald Lemon ([-])

The thinly rolled dough sizzled on the griddle, and after a while, a small hill rose in the center of the dough.The old woman quickly whipped the egg liquid in the ceramic jar a few times, and poked the top of the hill with her chopsticks. The tip of the chopsticks was up and down, exposing the hollow inside of the dough, and then quickly poured the egg liquid into the hole.

While pushing the egg liquid around with an oil brush, the old woman struck up a conversation with Tang Xiaobing: "You must be his partner."

Tang Xiaobing glanced at the figure answering the phone under the tree, and replied in a low voice, "Not yet..."

"That's almost there! Let me tell you, you are the first girl he brought in!" The old woman turned the pancake over and brushed it with another layer of oil.

First.

Tang Xiaobing was stunned, "Does he often come to your place to buy pancakes?"

"Come on, come here every day. I have been setting up a stall here for more than two years. As long as I leave the stall in the morning, no matter the wind or rain, he will come to buy my cakes. I have memorized his habits, you bastard, Two sausages, lots of vegetables and peppers." The old woman laughed.

"Does he eat pancakes every day?"

"Eating this is simple, fast, and the most important thing is that it is cheap. I only charge five yuan for my pancakes with soy milk, eggs and sausages. Go to the city and find one that is cheaper than mine, and I will tell you My surname! I’ve never made any money, especially for him.” The old woman pointed at Teng Yi under the tree with a spatula, “He saved my life.”

"He saved you?"

The old woman patted the liquefied gas cylinder on the car, "It's not because of it! On the third or ninth day of that year, I was setting up a stall at the intersection to make cakes, and the tank suddenly caught fire. I was so frightened that I forgot to yell. The people queuing up to buy pancakes had long since disappeared. Only he rushed up and pushed me to the side of the road. He just ran, calling for people to avoid him while running, and he ran until no one was there before turning off the valve of the gas cylinder. He also extinguished the remaining fire in the car with his cotton jacket. His cotton jacket burned a big hole in the end. The one with small eyes can’t be worn at all. He doesn’t care, just put it on like that, and wait with me for the fire brigade to deal with it.”

The old woman pointed to the fence of the dining car, "Look, here, there, and on the roof, those are the traces of the fire at that time."

Tang Xiaobing reached out and touched a yellow mark in front of him.

The old woman cast her gaze gratefully at the figure under the tree, "I said that I would give him free for life, but he said that if I didn't charge him he wouldn't come. This young man, I really can't do anything about him. Girl, you have a good eye. You are blessed to have found him."

Tang Xiaobing smiled.

The egg-filled biscuits with extra ingredients cost [-] yuan in total. Tang Xiaobing scanned the QR code to pay and walked under the tree with the bag.

Teng Yi just finished the phone call, and when he turned around to see Tang Xiaobing, he put the phone back in his pocket, took the egg-filled biscuits Tang Xiaobing handed over, "I'll pay the bill."

"Paid."

He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He opened the seal of the paper bag and took a big bite of the pancake.

He ate very quickly. After a while, he finished a huge egg-filled pancake. Tang Xiaobing still had more than half of it left. Seeing that he had finished eating, she pulled the paper bag in her hand, "Let's go."

She can eat on the go.

The old man was so honest that the paper bag that filled the biscuits was about to burst.She has eaten hard for half a day, but there is still a lot left.

"No hurry, you can leave after eating." Teng Yi took out the cigarettes in his pocket, opened the lid, and took out a cigarette and a transparent lighter from inside.

He turned sideways, put his hands together to light a cigarette, and smoked silently.

She stood aside, gnawing on her pie silently.

She was full after eating half of it, and she couldn't finish the rest, so she wrapped it up again and said to him, "Let's go."

"Can't finish it?" He put out the cigarette butt by the flower pond and threw it into the trash can.

"Grandma rolled too many dishes." She raised the paper bag in her hand and shook it.

He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly reached out to snatch the remaining pancake from her, removed the wrapping paper, and lowered his head to bite down.

"Hey! Teng Yi, that's what I have left..."

"I know." His cheeks were bulging, and his words were a little unclear.

"You still eat the leftovers." Her face was a little hot, and she wanted to snatch it back, but he ate it up in two or three bites.

"You can't throw it away," he said.

"I didn't say throw it away. I can eat it when I'm hungry at night." She didn't intend to throw it away.

He rolled up the paper bag and threw it into the trash can, rubbed his hands again, and said, "Let's go."

The two returned to the roadside car.

Teng Yi started the car and honked the horn twice. Seeing the old woman looking towards the side of the road, Tang Xiaobing poked her head out and waved at her.

The old woman waved goodbye to them with a smile.

It was completely dark, and the neon lights of the city were still as bright as they were before the epidemic. The endless car queues shuttled back and forth on the criss-cross streets. The windows drive away the heat and bring in coolness.

Teng Yi rested his left arm on the window frame, and stroked the newly grown stubble with his fingers back and forth. He stared at the road ahead with a serious expression, and controlled the steering wheel with his right hand to drive the car through an artificial canal in the city.

Feng Fei's house is 4 kilometers away from the other side of the canal.

This road stops and stops, and it will eventually come to an end.

"Teng Yi." Her voice came from beside her.

"Ok?"

"Have you considered?"

He was silent, but the speed of the car dropped significantly.

The off-road vehicle drove slowly along the road beside the canal, and from time to time, people enjoying the shade passed by on foot or by bicycle.If you look farther away, you can still see the figures walking back and forth on the embankment.

The wind had stopped at some point, and the inside of the car was stuffy, making it hard to breathe.

"Tang Xiaobing." At this moment, he suddenly spoke.

She turned sideways, staring at his side face with bright eyes.

"Impossible." After he finished speaking, he turned his head towards the car window, his hand was still clasped on his chin, but his fingertips had sunk deeply into the skin.

She was surprisingly calm.

As if she had expected such an answer before asking the question, she didn't ask him why he couldn't.The two were silent, the light in her eyes was gradually replaced by disappointment, she tried hard to control the frequency of her breathing, and turned her gaze from his side face back to the front.

The street lamps on both sides of the road are divided into two rows, a bright road, but at this moment it has become dull and dull in her eyes.

Impossible.

Impossible, he said.

The pain in my heart, from the very first point, quickly spread to the entire chest.

She clenched her fingers and bit her lips tightly.

He didn't hear an answer for a long time, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at her.

At the moment of distraction, several figures suddenly rushed past the front of the car.

"squeak--"

The two people in the car staggered forward at the same time.

Teng Yi poked his head out of the car window and shouted at those daredevils: "Hey! How did you walk!"

The running man pointed in the direction of the canal, "Someone fell into the water!"

overboard?

Only then did Teng Yi see people from all directions rushing towards him.

"Come on—someone's overboard—"

"Help—help—"

"Help me—"

A burst of urgent cries for help pierced the tranquility of the summer night.
