Chapter 298: Looking for Someone (1)

Lingxi kept half of the candied haws she brought back at home, and Pei Yanning gave the remaining half to the group of guys at the security department at the door. The sugar-roasted chestnuts she brought back were also not bad, and the tofu pudding she brought back was really amazing.

It tastes even better than the tofu pudding sold at the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the alley in the morning.

After tasting the candied haws, Minghui reached out to the tofu pudding that had been heated up briefly, holding the bowl, his eyes rolling around, "Aunt, you are so smart to find a place that sells such delicious food...

When are you going next time? Minghui will help you get your things!"

Lingxi: “…”

clever?!
Well said, don’t say it next time!

To be honest, Lingxi's trip was really worth it. Not to mention that the tofu pudding tasted amazing, it tasted exactly like the one at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, and you might not be able to get it!

Little Minghui's words reminded Pei Yanning and the others.

"Lingxi wants to go to a western restaurant? Second brother, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, accompany Lingxi there." And Minghui hasn't been out of the house since he came here, so it would be good for him to go out for a walk.

Uncle Pei agreed immediately.

They will definitely stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year.

Pei Yanning still has to socialize. If the family is not well managed, no one knows who will come to visit. If there is a meal or drink, a few dishes must be served. In addition, should the snacks that are essential for New Year's Eve vigil also be prepared?

Uncle Pei planned to go around and see what he might come across and buy.

Lingxi didn't know what Uncle Pei was thinking privately, but she was very happy after agreeing with Uncle Pei to go out.

As for being able to call to order food and have it delivered...

Lingxi had no idea about it at the moment and had never thought about such a thing.

In the evening, he even pulled Gu Si aside to discuss what to buy the next day.

Seeing Lingxi was so excited that she couldn't sleep, Gu Si was thinking about whether to buy steak or barbecue, with a smile in his eyes.

There was another heavy snow at night. When Lingxi woke up, the snow was still falling outside. Fortunately, there was no wind and it was not cold. In the morning, Lingxi happily said goodbye to the three little ones, waved to her father, Old Man Gu, casually, and followed Uncle Pei and Minghui out of the house.

It has been almost twenty days since we arrived in the capital.

Except for the first day when Minghui went to flirt with the young men from the security department at the door and was frightened by Lao Hei, he has never left the house since then. Every day, apart from eating and playing with the three little ones, he recites the human acupuncture point map and so on.

Going out at this time, or shopping in the capital, little Minghui immediately became very enthusiastic. He is also a big kid who has been to the capital!
He can brag about it to his friends for several years after he goes home!
Although Minghui was excited, he held his aunt's hand tightly. His father, uncles and uncle were not at home, so Minghui felt that it was his responsibility to protect his aunt. As for his grandfather...

Oh! His grandfather has such a good temper!

Minghui felt that it was good to have him around, and he didn’t have to embarrass his grandfather for the time being!

I don’t know what little Minghui is thinking. Seeing that Minghui is so well behaved, Lingxi and Uncle Pei praised him and promised to buy him some delicious food later.

When Minghui heard this, he straightened up instantly.

This time it was a coincidence that the bus they took was the same one that Lingxi had helped to scan her face yesterday. When Lingxi saw the driver and the conductor, she felt a little embarrassed.

Uncle Pei just laughed.

"My daughter rarely goes out. She made a fool of herself last time. Thanks to my brother, otherwise I wouldn't have known she was missing."

The driver waved his hands quickly and said, what's the big deal!
Uncle Pei chatted with the driver in a random manner, and Lingxi sat quietly the whole time to reduce her presence.

Ah!
awkward!

Fortunately, Uncle Pei had already changed the topic to the weather.

Uncle Pei was a very pleasant person to talk to, and he was very knowledgeable, but he was a farmer, and a lot of what he knew was very down-to-earth. In addition, Pei Yu used to be in the transportation business, so he had this entry point. The driver suddenly felt that he couldn't be more friendly, and he quickly called him brother.

It snowed recently and traffic was greatly affected.

Their bus is actually quite good.

This is the main transportation route in Kyoto. In addition, there are many government agencies here, all of which are important departments. Clearing the snow on the road is of utmost importance. In some places, it is not possible.

As soon as it snows, cars on some routes dare not go on the road.

The bus ride is only half an hour.

When they got off the car, they said to Uncle Pei, "Brother, next time your niece wants to go out, let her take my car and I will take good care of her.

Such a cute little girl needs more attention. "

Lingxi: “…”

Ahhh, please let me go!
The place where they got off was only a few dozen meters away from the western restaurant, which was quite close.

Now is a difficult time. If you want to buy things, good things, and delicious things, you should of course go to the Overseas Chinese Hotel, Friendship Store, and Western Restaurant. Of course, the prerequisite for going to these places is that you have money, tickets, and coupons.

Coincidentally, the Pei family has all of them.

They went straight to the western restaurant and ordered something to eat. Uncle Pei had a bowl of noodles. After finishing his meal, he lowered his voice and said to Lingxi, "You guys eat here first. Uncle will go take a look around. He will be back in an hour at most. Is that okay?"

Lingxi uttered an "ah" and nodded subconsciously.

Okay!

Lingxi felt that as long as he and Minghui had food to eat, they could spend the whole day here easily and simply.

What is Uncle Pei doing?

When Uncle Pei came over just now, he saw a black market nearby. People like Uncle Pei have been in the black market for so many years. He can tell where the black market is just by passing by with a quick glance.

There is a western restaurant and a Friendship Store here, and the people who hang around here are definitely rich people. How could the things sold in the black market be very bad?

But this place was unfamiliar to everyone, so Uncle Pei didn't rashly take Lingxi and Minghui there.

He looked at the western restaurant and felt that it was safe enough, so he kept them there temporarily.
-
Lingxi and Minghui were sitting by the window, on a small table partitioned by green plants. Outside the window was a garden where the flowers, trees and plants were all covered in ice and snow. The branches and leaves were frozen into ice, reflecting colorful light in the sunlight.

There is heating in the restaurant, and it is really enjoyable to eat dessert in the warmth.

But at this moment, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly came from the quiet and peaceful western restaurant.

"impossible!"

The voice was quite loud, and Lingxi subconsciously turned her gaze over. It was in the direction of the counter, and the person who was speaking was a young female comrade. She seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and her voice became soft and gentle again.

“Sorry I got a little excited.

Are you guys lying to me?

I really remember it, it was from your western restaurant, think about it carefully, oh, please, please..."

There was some surprise in Lingxi's eyes.

Not to mention the harsh questioning just now, the girl now spoke in a soft Wu dialect, her small voice scratching like a small brush, making people feel itchy, and it also sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Lingxi could only see the back of the girl's head. She was wearing a cotton jacket with a large fur collar, a scarf, and long hair that fell straight to her waist.
