Chapter 323 A Simple Date
noon the next day.
Tang Wan nestled leisurely on the ergonomic chair, holding the mobile phone in one hand, and smoothing the small gas tank in her arms with the other.
Lu You sat next to him, holding a pencil in his right hand, writing and drawing on the draft paper from time to time.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for more than ten minutes.
Tang Wan slid the chair to Lu You's side, and asked in a low voice, "Honey, do you know what day March 3st is?"
Lu You replied without raising her head: "The school's coming-of-age ceremony."
"anything else?"
"What else?"
Tang Wan grabbed Lu You's ear, and threatened with fierce eyes: "If you put on an air again, I'll be really angry!"
Lu You had to stop writing, turned his head to laugh and said, "Oh! Just kidding, how could I forget such an important day?"
"Don't try to get away with it, what day is it, tell me!"
Lu You held Tang Wan's wrist, kissed the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "It's my beloved concubine's birthday once in a lifetime, which symbolizes stepping into the adult ladder, right?"
"What kind of gift are you going to give me?"
"It's no surprise to tell you now, is it?"
"Humph! You pass the test!"
Tang Wan snorted softly, withdrew her right hand arrogantly, and put her white and tender feet into Lu You's arms,
"I want to use my hand, let me play with this for you."
"Did you wash it?"
"I've washed it several times with shower gel, and it's cleaner than my face. It doesn't matter if you want to lick it."
Lu You's eyes flickered.
"Let's talk about it tonight."
Lu You grabbed Tang Wan's little foot and gently kneaded it.
In today's era, it is not without reason that jade feet are popular, especially for Tang Wan, whose insteps are slightly cool, smooth and delicate, and the soles of the feet are warm, soft and elastic, and feel first-class.
"Honey, are you bored?"
"no!"
Lu You gently raised his chin, pointed at the scratch paper on the table that was densely filled with calculations, and said, "Professor Xiao has assigned a few math problems and wants me to complete them in the next few days."
"Is the difficulty high?"
"A little bit, but not particularly high. It takes some time to think."
"How long is the certain amount of time?"
Lu You raised the corners of her mouth, leaned over to Tang Wan, and asked, "Want me to play with you?"
Tang Wan didn't hide anything, she nodded and admitted: "Well, I'm tired of playing with mobile phones, I want to go out for a stroll."
Lu You changed his mind and discussed: "Can you wait for me for an hour? I want to try to solve the first question."
"One hour?"
Tang Wan looked a little unhappy, and said coquettishly, "Grass has grown on my head in an hour! Can half an hour be okay?"
"An hour longer?"
Lu You said with a smile: "It takes an hour to watch a Korean drama, let alone difficult math problems. I guess it takes half an hour to find my way."
Tang Wan grabbed the corner of Lu You's clothes and said pitifully, "But what if you don't make it? Add another hour?"
"No, even if you don't make it in an hour, at least you know the ideas and steps, and it's fine to go out with you."
Tang Wan's smile bloomed like a flower, she put her arms around Lu You's neck and kissed her passionately, saying happily: "Thank you, husband~you are the best!"
Lu You patted Logan on the shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, let go. Be quiet for the next hour, let me write the questions well, don't disturb me, can you do it?"
Tang Wan respected the completely non-standard military salute, and said solemnly: "I promise to complete the task!"
"Come on, give me another kiss."
Without thinking, Logan stepped forward and extended her lips.
Another lingering kiss.
Lu You wiped the corner of her mouth, touched Logan's little feet at last, and put them back on the ground.
"Go and play by yourself! Make a timer and call me when it's time."
"OK!"
……
After an hour and a half.
Tang Wan held Lu You's arm and walked aimlessly on the spacious street.
Since today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not completely faded away, and the surrounding shops are still pasted with bright red stickers and couplets.
Logan was like a baby who had just arrived in the world, with curious eyes darting around.
Lu You glanced at Tang Wan's side face, and seeing her in high spirits, she couldn't help feeling a little happier,
"So, where do you want to go when you come out?"
"I don't know, let's go for a walk."
The two walked through the crowded crowd, occasionally Tang Wan would grab Lu You, stop and watch in front of the snack shop, but would not go in.
After walking through five or six shops, Lu You couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Aifei, in front of me, you don't have to put on a show, just tell me what you want to eat, and I won't stop you."
"Who's pretending?"
Tang Wan rolled her eyes at Lu You, and said, "I call it the overall situation first, and then strike with precision. The two of us add up to two stomachs, and the capacity is only that small, but there are dozens of snack bars around, so of course we have to find one." It’s the most delicious, so it’s not a loss, you know but you don’t know!”
"Huh? You actually have a big picture? Why didn't I notice it before?" Lu You said with a look of surprise.
"Hum~"
Tang Wan said proudly: "Your girlfriend, I am a treasure girl. There are so many excellent things, you can discover them slowly!"
It took a full quarter of an hour, and the two of them finally visited the shops in the whole street from beginning to end, without missing a single shop.
Lu You turned around, looked at the tide-like crowd, and asked, "Have you made up your mind after a round?"
Tang Wan pondered for a while, but did not answer, but asked instead: "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Really!"
Lu You bent down and leaned close to Tang Wan's ear, pointed to a store in the distance, and whispered: "Did you see that store selling underwear? When I passed by just now, I found one..."
Before Lu You could finish speaking, Tang Wan pushed him away with extreme disgust, and said speechlessly: "My sleazy husband, can't you hold it up outside and put on a serious image?"
"I am not serious? How am I not serious? I feel that I am quite serious!"
"never mind!"
Tang Wan was too lazy to argue with Lu You.
As the saying goes: if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are cheap, there will be no enemies.
Once a person starts to be shameless, no matter how much you scold him, it's useless, it will only make him more arrogant.
"My sweet, I have a plan."
"What plan?"
Logan took out a crumpled little red envelope from her pocket and asked, "Take a guess, how much money in it?"
"uhhhh, one hundred dollars?"
Tang Wan punched Lu You next door, and said angrily, "One hundred dollars, how dare you think about it!"
"You asked me in English, I must guess Meidao!"
"Oh, it's really useless! Let me reveal the answer!"
Tang Wan opened the red envelope and poured it into the palm of her hand, a rolled up brown soft girl coin appeared in front of the two of them.
"Hey, haven't we seen each other for a long time?"
"20 yuan? Is there really such a small red envelope?"
Adding up Lu You's two lifetimes, all the red envelopes he has received, not to mention brown ones, are not even green ones, at least one is red.
"What do you mean so small?"
Tang Wan's eyes widened, and she said sternly: "This is 20 yuan, not one or two yuan! When I was in elementary school, 20 yuan was enough for me to spend a week in luxury! I still have [-] yuan left over to charge my super power NoNo!"
"woc? Your girl still plays Purcell!?"
"A long time ago."
Tang Wan waved her hand and said, "Then I'll meet my brother to play with. What's the name of the one he caught? I forgot, anyway, it's very rare. You have to spend a lot of time to catch it."
"You mean, little bean sprouts?"
"Yes! That's her! Tiny, chubby, super cute! My brother lost dozens of capsules to catch her."
There was a look of memory on Lu You's face. At that time, he was also very obsessed with the Purcell, especially on Friday.
Even if the five-hour battery is completely exhausted, he is reluctant to go offline and has to travel around in various regions.
"Little bean sprouts, I caught them too, but I only used one capsule..."
"So European?"
"No no no!"
Lu You shook his index finger and said confidently: "I don't like to pin things on illusory luck. I always rely on strength to win. For example, money ability, universal capsule."
"I knew it! Damn rich man!"
Tang Wan clenched her fist again, and gave Lu You a set of tickling punches.
After venting her emotions, Tang Wan continued: "Anyway, with the opportunity of Little Bean Sprouts, I came into contact with the Purcell and played for a year or two.
Later, when I was in junior high school, I had to study on my own at night, and my mother refused to let me play computer games when I got home. Gradually, the frequency of playing computer games became less and less. "
"Do you still remember your Taomi account?"
Tang Wan shook her head and said, "It's been five years and almost six years, how can you still remember?"
Lu You put her arms around Tang Wan's waist and said softly, "I'm about the same as you. I quit swimming when I was in junior high school. However, during the summer vacation of the third day of the first two years, I went back to play on a whim for a week, and paid two annual fees. Killing Order Shenluo, and the other is called Wings of Rebirth."
"Now the names of the elves are cute and handsome! I only know that the first annual fee is Tiger King, and I got a horse with the name, and it looks ugly!"
"The group of players who played Purcell has grown up. If the game wants to continue, it will naturally grow up with them."
"It's far away!"
Tang Wan brought the topic back and said, "Today, I plan to arrange an interesting date with only 20 yuan. Do you think it is feasible?"
"No way!"
Lu You poured a basin of cold water unceremoniously.
"Every time you go on a date, you must order a cup of milk tea full of ingredients, which is directly more than 20 yuan, plus all kinds of miscellaneous snacks, breaking [-] is common. If my family is not rich, I really can't afford it. Think of you delicate pig."
"Cough cough!"
Logan coughed twice, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Dating! Is there anything that doesn't cost money? Besides, most of the time we are AA, so I'm going to bleed, okay?"
"Yes! AA system! But what about the reality? Almost half of the one I bought went into your stomach, are you embarrassed?"
Logan's face turned even redder, like a ripe red apple.
"Hey, we're all honest and honest. We're just one step away from having your relationship with me. Why bother with the little snacks? Anyway, it will end up as a pile of arguments, and it doesn't matter who gets into it."
Lu You has long been used to Logan's shamelessness.
Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, he knows what Lu You is like, and the girlfriend he is looking for will not be too far apart.
"Come on, show me your 20 yuan date."
"Hey! Let's go together!"
Tang Wan interlocked the fingers of Lu You's left hand and entered the crowd again.
……
"First of all, it is necessary to eat and drink on a date, but what to eat and what to drink, there is a lot to pay attention to!"
While muttering, Tang Wan led Lu You to a small cart with two stainless steel buckets.
The owner of the stall is a middle-aged man with wheat-colored skin, a short stature, and an honest face.
Seeing the guests, the boss immediately greeted them warmly in poor Mandarin, "Ah! What a beautiful girl!"
"Thank you for the compliment, boss." Tang Wan replied with a smile.
"Want something to drink?"
As a native of Yuesheng, Tang Wan could understand Cantonese to some extent.
"What do you sell?"
"Mageng bamboo cane water and ginger brown sugar water are both freshly boiled, so be sure to heat them up!"
Tang Wan turned to look at Lu You, and asked, "Which do you want to drink?"
Lu You thought for a moment, then said: "Maogen sugarcane water, there are big fish and meat every day during the Chinese New Year, just to reduce the fire."
"I think so too."
Logan turned to the boss again, and shouted: "Boss, please have a cup of china root sugarcane water!"
"One cup is enough for two of you? Do you want an extra cup?"
"Yes, one cup is enough."
The boss stopped asking any more questions, and Ma Liu took out a 200ml transparent plastic bottle the size of a can of Coke, and quickly filled it with a light yellow transparent liquid.
Then spread the anti-spill mat, cover the bottle cap, and simply pack it and hand it to Logan.
"No, Three Mosquitoes."
Tang Wan gave the 20 yuan bills to the boss, and got back one ten yuan, one five yuan, and two one yuan coins.
"I didn't expect to receive coins. It's been a long time since I saw this."
Tang Wan weighed her right hand, and the two films collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Lu You inserted the straw into the plastic bottle and tried to take a sip.
The sweetness is very light, and there is a slight aftertaste, more like the taste of boiled water.
Lu You smacked her lips and commented: "It's not bad. If you add horseshoes and cook it to make it sweeter, it will be even better."
"Yes, let me try."
"Give."
Tang Wan took the plastic bottle that was still warm, landed on Lu You's used straw, and started sucking on the spot.
As Lu You said, the taste is acceptable, but the sweetness is too light.
"By the way, husband, do you speak Cantonese?"
"Yes, what about you?"
"I can do it too."
"Then why do we two locals have to speak Mandarin when communicating?"
Tang Wan shrugged, and said casually: "I don't know, maybe it's because of the school's requirements, and I'm used to it."
"It's possible. Li Yu and I played a game called csgo. I wonder if you've heard of it?"
"I've heard of it, a large gun skin trading platform!"
"It's true! Because CSGO encounters more crooked nuts, our voice communication defaults to English. Once, we matched into the game. At the beginning and in the middle, everyone reported points and information in English normally.
As a result, towards the end of the game, someone got knocked out and directly broke the defense in the voice channel, saying a few standard Chinese quintessences. Then everyone discovered that a team of people were all compatriots, but they communicated in English for the entire game. "
"Hahahaha! I can't stop laughing!"
……
The two of them took a sip, and the 200ml of Maogen sugar cane water bottomed out in a short while.
Lu You threw the empty bottle into the trash can and asked, "There is still 17 yuan left, what's the next turn?"
"If you have something to drink, of course you have to have something to eat. Come with me!"
The two scrambled east and west, and came to the back of a line.
Lu You stretched his neck, looked at the busy stall more than ten meters ahead, and asked, "There are still a lot of people! What do you eat?"
"Cow offal."
"Are you kidding me? Can I eat beef offal for 17 yuan?"
"Whether you can eat it or not, you will know when you are in the queue?"
The stall owner's hands and feet are very quick, and the diners are also very straightforward, and there is no unnecessary request.
After a while, it was Lu You's turn to order food.
"Two, what do you want?"
This time, the boss’s Mandarin was very standard.
Tang Wan pointed to the bubbling brine and asked, "How do you sell the offal?"
"One piece, one piece, regardless of meat or vegetables."
"Is that the same as a bastard?"
"Correct."
Tang Wan and Lu You looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
This price is too affordable.
Logan had difficulty choosing, so he said, "Then give me one of each."
"Take out or eat here?"
"Eat here."
"OK, just a second!"
"how much is the total?"
"13 dollars."
"Do you accept cash?"
"Sure, I won't accept anyone who breaks the law!"
"I'll give you the money first"
Logan took out the only two banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the boss.
The proprietress at the side took the money and gave Logan two more coins, now there are four.
The boss skillfully fishes out various ingredients from the brine, cuts out appropriate portions, and puts them in a stainless steel plate covered with a plastic bag.
Radish, cabbage, gluten, tofu puffs, fish balls, ham, pork intestines, beef, beef noodles, beef brisket, beef lungs, beef intestines, potatoes.
There are a total of thirteen samples, none of which is missing, and the pile is full.
"Do you want spicy?"
Tang Wan turned her gaze to Lu You, motioning for him to answer.
"Add a little, not too much."
The boss took a spoonful of soup and poured it on the hill formed by the accumulation of food, and then added half a spoonful of soy sauce with chilli floating in it, and finally the finished product came out of the oven.
"Your offal, please use it slowly."
The two found a simple small dining table at the back and sat opposite each other.
Lu You used chopsticks to push the hill down, turned it over a few times, and complained: "This beef offal contains a ridiculously low amount of beef."
"Be content! It's good to have a cow for 13 yuan! How about a bicycle?"
"makes sense."
Both Lu You and Tang Wan are not people who eat slowly. In a few minutes, a plate of food was eaten up, leaving only the cold brine.
"How is it, is it delicious?" Logan asked with a smile.
Lu You took out a tissue, wiped off the remaining juice from the corners of Tang Wan's mouth, and said, "In your terms, what kind of bicycle do you need for 13 yuan? The price-performance ratio is full."
"Is it delicious?"
"At this price, it's really delicious."
Take a break.
Tang Wan took out four coins and placed them in a row on the table, with a thoughtful look on her face.
Lu You folded his arms around his chest and asked, "There are still four yuan left, have you thought about what to do?"
"There are two ideas, you pick one."
"Tell me."
"One, buy bowl cakes, one yuan and a half each, one for each of us, and we can have an extra 500 cents as a souvenir. Two, buy a bottle of hanging silk drink, [-]ml for each person to drink until full, which one should we choose?"
Lu You replied decisively: "Choose two, the offal is a bit salty, I want to quench my thirst."
"As expected of my husband, he peed in the same pit with me!"
"Vulgar! The first time you open your mouth, it's the next three ways. Can you look like a girl?"
"With my angelic face and devil's figure, no one will think I'm not girly, right?"
……
In Yuesheng, money may not be easy to make, but if you take two more steps to make money, you will definitely get it.
The two left the offal stall and saw Meiyijia's familiar sign at a corner.
Tang Wan couldn't help but sighed: "Blooming everywhere, it's beautiful, it's everywhere!"
"But I have to say that it really facilitates our daily life. It is open 24 hours a day, with a complete range of products and affordable prices. Most importantly, it is basically open at the door of our house."
The two put their hands together, made prayer gestures, and said at the same time: "Jiamen!"
Mei Yi Jia Nei.
Tang Wan pushed the door open and a mechanical "Welcome" sounded, followed closely by Lu You.
Logan looked at the drinks in several refrigerators and asked, "Which one do you want to drink?"
"Let me think."
Lu You glanced quickly several times, and made a decision after a while.
"How about jasmine tea? It is fragrant and refreshing, sweet but not greasy."
"Won my heart!"
Tang Wan didn't take it directly from the freezer, but asked the boss to find a bottle at room temperature.
I still drink refrigerated beverages in winter, probably because the penetrating power of the cold air in the south is not strong enough.
Logan paid with the four remaining coins.
Under the strange eyes of the boss, the two walked out of Meiyijia's gate one after another.
Tang Wan unscrewed the bottle cap, raised her head, and took a few big mouthfuls in one go.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Logan shivered uncontrollably.
"Woo~ It's so cold! I'm a disheartened person now!"
"This joke of yours is not as funny as yourself."
Lu You snatched three-quarters of the remaining jasmine tea from Tang Wan's hand, and took a few sips imitating the example.
Under the erosion of the cold wind, it also made a pendulum,
"Wuhu! It's so cool!"
Lu You presented the remaining half bottle of jasmine tea to Tang Wan, and asked, "Do you still drink it?"
Tang Wan touched her bloated belly and refused, "No, I'm full of water now, I'm very full!"
"Okay, I'll take it first, and drink it when you want to drink."
Just as Lu You tightened the bottle cap, Tang Wan stepped over and hugged his arm.
"Husband, how do you feel about this 20 yuan date? Is it satisfactory to you?"
Lu You casually stuffed the drink bottle into the hat of Tang Wan's down jacket, and said, "Five words, cheap but substantial."
"Compared to the date you arranged?"
"Each has its own fun. On the dates I arrange, seeing your smile gives me a sense of satisfaction that 'what you pay for is rewarded'.
And in the date you arranged, I am more to relax and enjoy, which is another kind of satisfaction, the two are indistinguishable. "
Tang Wan stared at Lu You, and asked, "Husband, there is something that I have been thinking about for a long time and have not figured it out. Can you help me clear it up?"
"what's up?"
"You are obviously a math guy, why are you so good at talking?"
"Xu Zhimo once said, 'Everyone in life is a poet, but they just don't express it'."
Lu You looked into Tang Wan's eyes and said affectionately: "So, it's not that I can speak, it's your existence that gives me the means and desire to express myself."
Tang Wan staggered Lu You's gaze, and plunged into his arms, revealing half of her ear, which was as red as a fire cloud hanging high in the sky in late autumn evening.
It's not necessarily a good thing that a boyfriend is too handsome, we've been together for more than two years, and I still can't help but blush for him.
"You're lying! You don't draft your love words!"
"Love from the heart is a love poem, so why bother with drafting and embellishing it?"
"You said it!"
"Okay, I won't say anything!"
A girlfriend is like a cat. If she occasionally brushes her fur in reverse, she will only fight with you twice and won't really get angry.
But if she blows her hair and forcefully reverses it, she will only be left with a few wounds.
After a while, Tang Wan regained her composure and came out of Lu You's arms.
"Come on, let's go home."
"Aren't you going back?"
"Wait a few days until the temperature warms up."
The big bed and floor heating in the Lu family villa were so comfortable, and Lu You helped warm the bed at night. Tang Wan had no desire to go home.
"Then you have to report to your aunt and let her know your itinerary."
"Don't worry, I'll report to her every day." (End of Chapter)
