Qin Huai knows Boss Gong very well. For Gong Liang, emotions matter more than taste. He belongs to the typical kind who completes a task as long as the emotions are right, even if the taste isn't up to par, like a spirit.
Actually, Boss Gong is quite the man of emotion.
Among these spirits, the one with the highest taste standards is Shi Dadan. Shi Dadan's standards are so high that even if he's tempted to cut corners to complete a task quickly, his conscience cannot deem it successful.
This can be seen from the side task involving Four Happiness Rolls.
Qin Huai chose August 27 as the important day.
A day that might as well be the end of the world for He Cheng.
He Cheng returned to Guangdong Province on the 27th.
That noon at the airport, He Cheng, who had gained a bit of weight in just a few days, was close to tearfully hugging Qin Huai's leg, wishing to express his deep reluctance to part from his beloved cousin.
Although Qin Luo was a bit annoyed with He Cheng due to sumr school, and even slightly gloating on the way to the airport, she felt a little sad at the mont of separation, sniffing sentintally, and wanting to say sothing warm to show there wasn't much sibling affection between them.
Just as He Cheng's tears were about to fall like raindrops, Qin Huai instructed, "Study well when you go back. Take the opening exam seriously. Let your parents see the effect of your sumr school."
"Visit during National Day if you have ti."
"Originally, I wanted to put the Fernted Rice with Stead Buns, Four Happiness Glutinous Rice, Rice Cake, Three at Buns, Five Fillings Bun, and Four Happiness Dumplings as raw dough in your suitcase for airplane check-in, since it's only a few hours, they wouldn't spoil."
"But your suitcase is too small to fit them. If I let you check another suitcase, I'm afraid you wouldn't recognize it and take the wrong one. You'll be alone when you land, and I won't be at ease, so I've mailed them to you instead."
"Along with 50 pounds of Papaya Cake, 40 pounds of Green Bean Cake, 50 pounds of Crab Shell Cake, and 30 pounds of Coconut Juice Cake."
"When you eat at ho, take it easy. Rember to give 1/3 to your maternal grandparents. Also, don't forget to send so to your paternal grandparents' house. I know you have many relatives waiting for so, so I sent extra."
With Qin Huai's words, He Cheng's tears retracted.
He Cheng's acting relies on emotional experience. Without the right emotions, he can't perform. Initially, He Cheng was genuinely sad. Now, hearing Qin Huai rattle off the snack nas and weights, He Cheng couldn't muster sadness; controlling his lips from curling up was the limit of his acting skills.
He Cheng didn't know how to act, he could only say, "Well...Brother, I'll go through security first."
"Okay." Qin Huai nodded with a smile, "Stay safe. Send a ssage when you land."
"Okay, Brother."
As he watched He Cheng walk towards the security check, Qin Huai turned to look at Qin Luo, noticing her expression had shifted from discontent to a familiar annoyance. Qin Huai laughed and patted Qin Luo's shoulder, "Still mad about He Cheng reporting on you during sumr school?"
"Didn't our Luoluo also report back? It's fair. I asked Zheng Siyuan about it; he said you two ate about the sa amount of snacks during sumr vacation, and you had fun at the amusent park together two days ago. Don't be mad."
"Rember when you were little, you pulled He Cheng in kindergarten to prove that your big brother really had a gaming system? He Cheng didn't know anything but loudly corroborated when you said it."
"When aunt and uncle asked him, he confidently said I really have a gaming system; Luoluo wouldn't be wrong."
"I'm not angry." Qin Luo pouted, "I lost 3 pounds of Papaya Cake!"
"Last night, when He Cheng packed his luggage, I saw you didn't put any snacks in his suitcase. I thought you didn't plan to give him any, assuming he wouldn't have any back ho. So, I gave him all my 3 pounds of Papaya Cake, only keeping two for myself."
"Had I known he had 50 pounds, I wouldn't have given him any!"
"He should give his 3 pounds from yesterday; he has 6 pounds just to take on the flight today!"
Qin Huai: ...No wonder He Cheng carried such a big, heavy bag. Qin Huai assud it was full of sumr howork, thinking this kid is so sincere, keeping heavy howork in his bag instead of putting it in his suitcase.
The reality is, he's carrying snacks to eat on the plane.
"No worries, Luoluo, we'll eat when we get back. You can eat as much as you want. I'll make them for you tomorrow. Can't do it today; I have to go to Luo Jun's house to make snacks for a tea party. If you really want to eat sothing, head over to Ouyang's milk tea shop for a drink."
"While you're there, help out with so hand-mixed lemon tea."
"Your Brother Yang is busier than I am lately; his work hours are longer than mine," said the culpable Qin Huai.
"Alright." Qin Luo sniffed with a touch of sadness.
