Chapter 16
There were people coming and going in the state-run hotel, Cheng Qiqi watched them with great interest, well-dressed young men and women in dark blue work uniforms, chatting happily and discussing at the table.

The dishes were served one by one, the chef was busy in the background with his chest on his back, and the big guys in the front hall were drinking and chatting about life.

The mottled walls were printed with shameful waste, and the familiar images and sense of time surrounded the two of them. After rebirth, this was the most smoky meal.

Dumplings were placed on a yellow enamel plate, and a pot of stewed pork vermicelli was steaming. Cheng Qiqi felt very satisfied looking at the simple and generous portion of rice in front of him.

Lu Ye gave her the vinegar dish at hand, with all the chili ingredients, Cheng Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief, and started with the chopsticks.

The dumpling skin is thick but the taste is very delicious. The stewed vermicelli and potatoes are also rotten. All kinds of ingredients are all natural and no additives. One mouthful of dumplings and one mouthful of vermicelli, Cheng Qiqi's satisfied eyes are shining, Lu Ye goes to the back and pours Two bowls of herbal tea came over.

Cheng Qiqi took it and took a few sips, Lu Ye smiled and took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, with a doting face on his face, "Drink slowly."

"This is the best meal I've had in a while."

Cheng Qiqi couldn't bear to put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and kept stuffing his stomach with rice. It's not easy to eat such a meal in this day and age, and many people can't even touch meat all year round.

Her body has been extremely depleted of oil and water these years, and Cheng Qiqi felt that she was not full at all like a machine.

The two were so absorbed in eating that they didn't even notice the person watching them over there, and the three whispered.

"Boss, it's that bitch, she sent Brother Kidnapie in."

Jia Dazhuang frowned at his life-like face, "That's the one, it looks pretty good."

"Yeah, it's really good, a city girl with thin skin and tender flesh."

He lit a cigarette and sat up straight and looked at them, "Who is that next to her? She looks like five or six."

Thin Monkey and the overburdened-looking man next to him looked at each other, but there was still a bit of fear in their eyes. Last time, they were beaten a lot, and it was Lu Ye who trampled them under their feet.

"That, it's just a fancy but useless flower shelf, a scholar! I can do some tricks and embroider my legs."

Jia Dazhuang immediately regained his spirits, "I don't think he is capable. Look at that nonchalant demeanor, even wiping the woman's handkerchief. It looks like a showy and incompetent."

The thin monkey filled him with wine with a smile, his eyes were full of calculations, "That's right, how can I compare with you, brother, you look like a shoe lifter."

After Jia Dazhuang drank the wine in one gulp, his dry eyes scanned Cheng Qiqi from top to bottom.

The thin monkey sniggered when he saw someone took the bait, his eyebrows were about to go up to the sky, and now he was finally able to take revenge, remembering that he was trampled by Lu Ye like a sandbag last time, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep, his molars were gritted. broken.

Di Baotian next to him now has a worried expression on his face, and he stretched out his hand to pull his clothes, "Skinny Monkey, it's not good for us to do this."

A look was blocked back, Di Baotian closed his mouth and did not speak.

Cheng Qiqi sat on the table and ate the leftover rice soup, Lu Ye got up to pay the bill, the eyes of several people became even more fanatical, Cheng Qiqi was so absorbed in eating that he didn't notice it.

"Qiqi, let's go."

Cheng Qiqi glanced at the food on the table reluctantly, licked the corner of her mouth and followed Lu Ye out.

As soon as the front foot left, the three people behind also checked out and went out.

Touching the round belly.Cheng Qiqi felt like he was dreaming now, he belched contentedly, and covered his mouth in embarrassment.

Lu Ye smiled and looked at her beside him, "I'll bring you over to eat next time."

Cheng Qiqi nodded, smiling cutely with her eyes, holding the handkerchief in her hand and walking side by side with him on the street.

The surrounding vendors were still selling in full swing. An old lady pushing a cart was going uphill with great difficulty. Lu Ye reached out to help, and Cheng Qiqi followed closely behind.

"Thank you lad."

"You're welcome."

Cheng Qiqi also felt distressed for the old lady who had to go out to earn a living with her hunched back. Life is not easy in this age. Looking at the car full of firewood, I can feel the hardships of the old lady.

Lu Ye and Cheng Qiqi took the old man home all the way through several small alleys.

At this time, the original street style is still preserved, and alleys and alleys are everywhere.

The old grandma's face was full of wrinkles, but she smiled lovingly, and kept rubbing her hands together to express her thanks, "Thank you, you are really two good boys."

"It's okay, grandma, we can do it with little effort."

The old lady and Cheng Qiqi walked side by side at the back, while Lu Ye pushed the cart in front.

Looking at the old grandma Cheng Qiqi, she thought of her own grandma. She doesn't know how she is doing now, she can't go back now, she has to deal with things here first.

The thing that the grandmother in the last life told her before she died seems to have come to her. She is going to the river to look for it. With that thing, she can prevent the tragedy from happening in advance and fulfill her grandmother's instructions.

The old grandma's house is very simple, and as soon as she enters the door, she sees an empty yard.

"Grandma, the cart is here for you, let me unload it for you."

"Thank you lad."

"fine."

Cheng Qiqi helped the old lady to sit on the stone bench in the yard, she couldn't help but take a second look at the old lady Cheng Qiqi, her round face was exactly the same as her granddaughter, she went to the house with a smile and took out the money she had saved for many years. Soak her in brown sugar.

"Grandma, no need, you can keep it for yourself."

"It's okay, drink some of this, thank you for helping me, don't make grandma feel bad."

Cheng Qiqi glanced at Lu Ye with some embarrassment, "It's okay grandma, we can do a little work, so don't feel sorry."

The old grandma's hands were shaking with joy, and the skin on her face was about to spread out with a smile.

"I am happy today. I haven't been this happy for a long time. It's good to talk to you young people."

Cheng Qiqi smiled and handed the enamel mug in her hand to Lu Ye, and the old woman looked at the two of them with a smile, "You are really talented, and you will definitely have good fortune in the future."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Cheng Qiqi wrapped the remaining brown sugar and put it back, while Lu Ye sat opposite and chatted with the old lady.

"Grandma, do you live alone?"

"Yeah, my wife just passed away last year, and my son who didn't live up to expectations hasn't come home yet. He doesn't know what to do every day. As an old woman, I live by collecting firewood every day."

The old lady looked bitterly at the enamel jar in her hand, and Cheng Qiqi stretched out her hand to attach hers. It was covered with calluses, and her whole body was extremely haggard.

"It's okay. My life is hard. Just live like this. Now life is getting better and better. I have to live for a few more days."

Cheng Qiqi looked at the old man in front of him with a smile, he was obviously unable to walk due to the pressure of life, but he still looked positive and optimistic.Cheng Qiqi knelt down and took out a handkerchief, and gave her a few rough-edged receipts, "Grandma, take it."

The old grandma stretched out her hand to refuse, "Girl, this is not acceptable, grandma can't have it."

"Take it, grandma, this is my wish, and we are also destined."

"Yes, grandma, take it, it's fate that we met today."
