"Oh, this is what Nuannuan said." Jian Zhiqing patted Little Taotao’s bottom and asked him to behave. "Nuannuan promised that if Taotao dances well, she will make candied sweet potatoes for him when she es home. Right now, his favorite food is the candied sweet potatoes made by Nuannuan, and he can eat several pieces at a time."
"Yes, yes," as if worried others might not believe it, Taotao vigorously nodded his little head, "Sister makes the tastiest candied sweet potatoes. Sister..." He stretched out his chubby hand and tugged on Qin Xiangnuan’s sleeve, "Eat candied sweet potato," Qin Xiangnuan was really overwhelmed by Taotao, the little foodie. He’s bee like this, originally round and short, who knows, he might really turn into a ball in the future.
Not long after, in Chun Xiangnuan’s Siheyuan, Jian Ming, Qiao Dingshan, the brothers from The Jians, and Little Taotao all arrived.
"Bark bark..." Conghua ran out from inside the house, wagging its tail as soon as it saw the visitors.
"Conghua has grown so big?" Jian Ming did recognize Conghua; sometimes Jian Zhiqing would take Conghua back home, and he often fed it, so Conghua recognized him. Conghua was fed well; despite Qin Xiangnuan being a scallion pancake seller, she earned a good sum of money every month, so she never skimped on Conghua’s food, allowing it to grow big, though it also seemed to be gaining weight.
People she fed might bee plump, and even the dog has grown fat.
Qin Xiangnuan may not claim that the food she makes is as good as a top chef’s, but she puts her heart into it, and the flavors of her dishes are great. The home-cooked dishes she prepares also hit the right notes. Of course, she didn’t forget that dish of candied sweet potatoes that Taotao specifically wanted.
After eating, Taotao burped satisfiedly, Jian Zhiqin ate a lot too, a child’s home, unable to resist the sweet taste, so Jian Zhiqin took Taotao and Conghua for a walk. Qiao Dingshan, worried, followed them too; he himself had eaten a bit too much, so he needed to move around.
This meal was great, not just in taste but also made everyone feel relaxed.
"Did you buy this Siheyuan?" Jian Ming did like this place; it was quiet. This young lady was capable, already doing business by herself at such a young age, impressive.
"Yes, I bought it several years ago," Qin Xiangnuan was cleaning up the dishes and answered Jian Ming’s questions, "I only moved in recently. It’s spacious here, and we are from the countryside, so we prefer places with a yard, not too confining."
"Yes," Jian Ming also sighed, "Buildings are getting taller, but places with yards are really being scarcer. This Siheyuan is great, it can acmodate several generations of a family, no worries no matter how many people there are."
Qin Jinuan sneakily glanced at Jian Zhiqing.
What, hasn’t Jian Zhiqing told Jian Ming that he himself has bought a Siheyuan, even bigger than this one?
Jian Zhiqing might also know what Qin Xiangnuan was thinking, as he placed his finger over his lips.
Now Qin Xiangnuan understood, Jian Zhiqing didn’t want Jian Ming to know, perhaps he doesn’t want anyone to know for now. Of course, she wouldn’t spill the beans, when he wanted to, he would naturally tell Jian Ming himself.
Qin Xiangnuan was washing the dishes in the kitchen, leaving Jian Zhiqing to chat with Jian Ming; why did she feel like Jian Zhiqing was the owner here?
No, she quickly stopped herself from entertaining such improper thoughts.
They are neighbors, it’s a relationship between a landlord and a renter.
Yes, she is the landlady, yes, that’s right, a landlady.
