Chapter 42 Double Skin Milk
Just now when Su Qing was cutting the newspaper, she accidentally found a food advertisement. There were many job postings in the newspaper, but very few food advertisements.
It introduces the special snacks of Lingxi County, Lingxi Double Skin Milk, which is also a relatively famous brand.
It just so happens that Su Qing also likes this kind of dessert.
Among the villagers who came to express their gratitude just now, there was a man who was selling double skin milk. That person left a coupon. Su Qing declined all other food, but kept the coupon.
This detail happened to be discovered by Li Yuemei, and of course Lu Xingchen also saw it.
The next morning, Lu Xingchen got up early. He went out while Su Qing was still sleeping.
He planned to go to Lingxi County to try his luck.
That was a place 5 kilometers away from here. Because it was too early, there was no tricycle, so he walked there.
Although Su Qing took the initiative to talk to me last night and sent me to the hospital for examination.
But he always felt that she still had some grudges that had not been resolved.
Lu Xingchen didn't expect that there was someone who arrived earlier than him.
She is Li Yuemei.
Early in the morning, she went to the town's post office and made a phone call.
Su Qing told her bookstore not to sell colored books. Although she was not sure whether the news was reliable, she would rather believe it and wanted to tell her husband Wenhu as quickly as possible.
After I finished the call, I happened to pass by and saw a long line at the store early in the morning. I waited for half an hour and bought two servings of double skin milk, one for myself and one to take away.
He met Lu Xingchen halfway and gave the double skin milk to him.
Because Su Qing was planning to go back, Li Yuemei thought about buying some things at the public sales agency.
Lu Xingchen followed him.
Accompanied by Li Yuemei, Lu Xingchen bought a set of clothes for the old man, as well as egg cakes, peach cakes and crispy peanuts.
Lu Xingchen knew that this was the only time he came back in many years, and after this separation, he didn’t know when he would come back again.
So I thought of buying some things to give to everyone, just to ease their future thoughts.
"How did you know? I want to eat double skin milk." After Su Qing finished washing up, Lu Xingchen handed her the breakfast he had prepared for her early in the morning. In addition to the double skin milk, there was also a portion of fried dough sticks.
They are all the flavors that Su Qing likes, and she feels happy and warm in her heart.
Seeing Su Qing eating with gusto, Lu Xingchen smiled charmingly, his eyes full of doting.
Women are like this sometimes. Occasionally they will want something for no apparent reason. It is just a sudden, momentary like or dislike from the bottom of their hearts, without any reason.
Lu Xingchen delivered the things he bought to grandma's room. The off-season clothes were bought specially for grandma. Every time, grandma would say something like "You are already half buried in the coffin, so don't spend money in the future."
The old man always said this, but his heart was full of relief.
For Lu Xingchen, he is not Li Tiejun's biological son, but was adopted when he was a child. In this family, his grandmother still loves him so much that sometimes Li Weimin and his other two sisters feel jealous.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how good Lu Xingchen is to his grandmother.
But normally, because they were too far apart and his grandmother was illiterate, Lu Xingchen could only go back a few times a year except during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
At this time, the old man was dying, but he insisted on sending a telegram to notify Lu Xingchen to come back, which shows how important Lu Xingchen was in the old man's heart.
Due to the baptism of tragic memories of her later life in her previous life, Su Qing always has an inexplicable concern for the elderly.
Thinking that she would be leaving today, Su Qing tried her best to be a filial granddaughter-in-law and stuffed ten thick pieces of paper money into the hands of her grandmother.
The old man still refused, but couldn't get away with it, so he pointed to the cabinet beside the bed and asked Su Qing to help put it in the tin box in the drawer.
Only then did Su Qing discover that the box showed signs of being rummaged through, and the money that Lu Xingchen had given to his grandmother two days ago was also missing.
"Grandma, do you put all your money here? Why is this box empty?" Su Qing opened the box and placed it in front of the old lady. "No, besides the money, the brown sugar and malted milk that Su Qing brought to my sister are obviously less."
"Impossible, I put the money that Xingchen gave me here. Where did it go?" The old man was very careful with his money and had changed the place where he put it many times. Sometimes he put it in the pillow, sometimes under the mat, sometimes in the pocket of his coat, and sometimes even sewed it on his underwear with noodles.
Su Qing said nothing, picked up the box, turned around, and left the room.
Bai Lanfang was knitting in the yard. She just saw Lu Xingchen and his wife enter grandma's room without even saying hello.
Su Qing was furious and ran towards Bai Lanfang, "Tell me, did you take away the money that Lu Xingchen gave to grandma and the malted milk that I gave to my sister?"
"No." Bai Lanfang turned around along with the chair, leaving Su Qing with only her back.
Su Qing pulled Bai Lanfang around, ripped the wool from her hand, threw it on the ground, and ran straight to the room where Bai Lanfang and his wife lived without looking back. "Don't admit it. If I find out, you're dead."
Seeing this, Bai Lanfang ran over quickly, blocked the door of the room before Su Qing, and locked the door with her backhand.
This action clearly shows that he is guilty.
"Okay, you lock the door, right? You have something to hide? I'm warning you, if you dare to touch grandma's things again, I will call the police and take you to the police station!" Su Qing looked like a little hedgehog, fierce and aggressive.
Bai Lanfang had witnessed Su Qing bravely fighting three gangsters alone, so she was afraid of Su Qing from then on. Su Qing's angry look at this moment was even more frightening.
"Also, I wanted to share some of the egg cake, peach cake and crispy peanuts that Xingchen bought with you, but I think it's better not to." The little hedgehog walked away angrily.
"Excuse me, is Su Qing at home?" At this time, someone was asking for directions outside the gate of the yard.
When Bai Lanfang heard Su Qing's name, she felt disgusted and ignored the questions from outside the door.
It was not until the second time that Lu Xingchen came out, “Yes, what do you want to see Amelia Su about?”
The person outside the door was a young man. "It's like this. I'm an employee of Wan'an Farm. Our director Zhou Yifu asked me to deliver this bacon to Ms. Su Qing."
"Hello, I am Su Qing's husband." Lu Xingchen said politely.
"Oh, okay. I'll leave it to you then. Please say hello to Ms. Su Qing on behalf of our Director Zhou." The young man handed the bacon to Lu Xingchen.
"Okay, thank you, and thank you Director Zhou!" After taking the bacon and seeing the young man turn around and leave, Lu Xingchen shouted loudly at his back.
