After Su Qingqing put the jade and tools in order, she went out to eat with Zheng Yinqiu.

Zheng Yinqiu: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat some delicious food."

Su Qingqing looked at the snack bar which was located in a remote area but extremely lively, and she was even more looking forward to the delicious food that Zheng Yinqiu mentioned.

Zheng Yinqiu skillfully lifted the door curtain, and after Su Qingqing walked in, he said loudly, "Boss, here I come!"

An old lady with silver hair but vigorous spirit walked out from the kitchen.

She greeted with a smile: "Xiao Qiu is here."

After saying that, he looked at Su Qingqing kindly and said, "I've met a new friend."

Su Qingqing: "Hello."

Zheng Yinqiu put his arm around Su Qingqing's shoulders and smiled with great pride: "How about it, my friend is pretty, isn't she?"

Su Qingqing was helpless.

The boss nodded with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, I'll give you a free dish later."

"I was waiting for you to say that. Let's go over there first."

"Go ahead, go ahead. It's the same place as usual. I kept it for you because I knew you were coming today."

Zheng Yinqiu pulled Su Qingqing inside and said with a smile, "Thank you, boss. Your business is booming."

The store is not big and there are no private rooms, but the seat Zheng Yinqiu brought her to was separated into a small space by two potted plants. It was very quiet and secluded.

Zheng Yinqiu looked at Su Qingqing looking around and said with a smile, "How is it?"

Su Qingqing: "It smells good."

"Is the school we just passed by your alma mater?"

Zheng Yinqiu nodded: "I skipped classes to go out and play, but it suddenly rained, and it was the boss who took me in."

Her expression was full of nostalgia: "I can still recall the taste of the bowl of scallion oil noodles I ate at that time."

"By the way, her pork trotter rice and fried dumplings are also super delicious. I must try them later."

Su Qingqing curled her eyes: "Okay."

The two didn't have to wait long before the food was served.

Noodles with scallion oil, pan-fried dumplings, pork trotter rice, pork ribs and rice cakes, borscht, and stir-fried pork given by the boss.

Super mix and match.

Zheng Yinqiu picked up the bowl and divided the noodles between the two of them.

"The staple food is a bit too much, so I didn't order two servings. Let's share it."

The boss carefully served the pork trotter rice with a large spoon, as if he had expected it.

Su Qingqing took the bowl and asked curiously, "Do you often eat like this?"

Zheng Yinqiu nodded proudly: "One portion is enough to make me full. If we share it, we can eat several dishes."

Su Qingqing laughed out loud at the cuteness.

She lowered her head and took a bite of the noodles, and her eyes lit up instantly.

The noodles are chewy and perfectly blended with the fragrant scallion oil, making every bite unforgettable.

Zheng Yinqiu said proudly: "Is it delicious?"

Su Qingqing nodded and couldn't wait to try a few other dishes.

Everything was delicious.

The end result was that the two of them collapsed in their chairs, not daring to move.

We have a new understanding of each other's appetite.

Zheng Yinqiu looked at Su Qingqing with a smile: "My aunt-in-law is a big eater."

Su Qingqing pinched her cheek and said, "You're not bad either."

Zheng Yinqiu laughed out loud.

After such a quiet moment, Zheng Yinqiu seemed to have thought of something. She pondered for a while, looking a little hesitant.

Su Qingqing didn't ask any further questions or urge anyone, but waited patiently.

After a while, Zheng Yinqiu's somewhat uneasy voice came over.

"Qingqing, last time when Nian Nian and I were having dinner, we talked about family matters."

Su Qingqing looked at her with a calm gaze, which calmed Zheng Yinqiu down as well.

"There's something I don't understand."

"Why did you give her such a large sum of money?"

Seeing Su Qingqing's surprised expression, she hurried to explain.

"I'm not saying this is bad, but I feel that even though Nian Nian's biological parents don't care about her, they still provide her with food and clothing. Even if she separates her household registration and her biological parents don't have to continue to give her child support, the money she saves is enough for her to finish college."

"So I'm a little confused. This money is very important to you, isn't it?"

Su Qingqing smiled at her soothingly.

"Don't worry, I know what you mean."

She looked up at the squeaking electric fan on the ceiling and thought about it.

"My family is not rich, but we are not poor either."

Su Qingqing thought about the time when her parents asked her when she was a child which one she would choose between piano and meat.

She chose meat without hesitation.

Su Qingqing smiled nostalgically.

"Although I didn't attend any fancy interest classes when I was young, I never lacked for food and clothing."

"My parents are very honest people. They don't have any ambitions and they don't aim too high. Every penny they spend is earned through their own hard work."

She looked at Zheng Yinqiu and said softly:

"But suddenly one day, a huge sum of money fell on their heads. It was too much, so much that they could not earn even a fraction of it in their entire lives."

Su Qingqing recalled the day when they received the money, and the uncontrollable anxiety and fear in Su's father and mother's eyes.

"Their first reaction is fear."

"I'm afraid that I'll become less myself because of all this free money."

“They are afraid that the money will destroy their peaceful but happy lives.”

"So they donated a lot and only kept some properties for themselves to collect rent, and gave the rest to me and Nian Nian."

Su Qingqing also knew that her parents would do this, so she used the props on her mother with peace of mind.

Zheng Yinqiu's eyes were red, and he whispered, "Sorry, I don't know."

No matter how approachable Zheng Yinqiu is and no matter how she doesn't put on airs like a young lady, her own life does not allow her to empathize with these things.

Su Qingqing touched her head and chuckled, "You have done very well. Everyone has their own life. You don't have to apologize."

After she comforted Zheng Yinqiu, she continued:

"I was not in good health when I was a child. Nian Nian has been taking care of me since she met me, even though she is two months younger than me."

Su Qingqing smiled helplessly.

"It's not like she saved my life or anything like that. My parents treat her the same as me. It's just because we have a good relationship and she deserves it."

Su Qingqing deliberately joked: "The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for so long, why do people still attach so much importance to blood ties?"

Zheng Yinqiu laughed: "Maybe it's because I don't have such good friends around me."

Su Qingqing covered her heart and said, "It seems that I still haven't entered your heart."

"Hey."

Zheng Yinqiu tapped her nose helplessly: "You're overacting."

Su Qingqing put her hand down and smiled.

"This amount of money should not be considered a lot in your eyes."

She made an inappropriate analogy: "It's probably like 10,000 yuan to you, right?"

Zheng Yinqiu refuted her helplessly: "It's a lot for me, too."

Su Qingqing pretended not to hear: "Anyway, you don't know that our first reaction to getting so much money for no reason is not happiness and excitement but fear and timidity. This is all very normal."

Zheng Yinqiu sighed: "Uncle and aunt are really amazing. If I were faced with so much money, I would never share it with my brother so easily."

Su Qingqing pointed at herself and said, "Shouldn't you praise me for being awesome?"

Zheng Yinqiu waved her hand: "You have earned so much from your writings that you can buy top-notch jewelry for my uncle. If I praise you any more, you will be praised to the heavens."

Su Qingqing held Zheng Yinqiu down and tickled her.

"Praise or not? Hmm?"

Zheng Yinqiu restrained his strength and dared not move, for fear of hurting her.

I had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Praise, praise, praise! Our baby is amazing. He regards money as dirt, is indifferent to fame and gain, and has noble qualities."

Su Qingqing's ears felt hot after hearing this, and she quickly interrupted her: "That's enough."

She let go of Zheng Yinqiu and said embarrassedly: "I still like money very much."

Zheng Yinqiu lay on the table and laughed secretly.
