Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Four Seas Restaurant
Although this wasn’t his first ti in the city, Yue Jiannan still felt like his eyes weren’t enough to take everything in.
“Wow, big brother, look over there.” Yue Jiannan pointed at the enormous object not far away, his mouth agape.
Yue Jiandong glanced in that direction, “That’s a Jiefang truck, not sothing you see often in the city, only one or two of the biggest factories have them.”
Thick black exhaust fus billowed from the rear of the truck, causing nearby bystanders to cover their noses, yet they still looked on with envy.
Yue Jiannan clicked his tongue in admiration, “This thing is way more impressive than a tractor.”
In the village, wealthy families would go out of their way to buy a tractor for farming.
...
Most of them were hand-held tractors, and only really rich families could afford those that ran on diesel.
If a family had a tractor, it would attract the attention of neighbors for at least half a month.
But in Yue Jiannan’s eyes, compared to this huge truck, the tractor simply paled in comparison.
Yue Jiandong chuckled, “Our village doesn’t even have a proper road, so this kind of truck couldn’t make it in.”
Yue Jiannan nodded thoughtfully, “That’s why I haven’t seen one before. Brother, how co you know so much? I rember you haven’t been to the city much before either.”
Yue Jiandong slapped him on the head, “Nonsense, I’m your brother; isn’t it normal for to know more?”
Yue Jiannan rubbed his head, not thinking too much about it, his gaze following the truck, “So impressive. It would be amazing to sit in it just once.”
He started to fantasize about climbing onto the truck, feeling the majesty of looking down on everything.
Many others felt the sa as Yue Jiannan. A lot of young people found it novel and craned their necks on tiptoes to get a better look.
A vehicle is a man’s little lover; this saying applies to every era.
So even noticed that a little boy was sitting in the passenger seat, prompting them to take a few extra glances.
Yue Qingqing, however, had no interest whatsoever and eagerly eyed the various snack stalls at the street corners.
With a loud bang,
pure white popcorn burst from the machine, filling the street with its sweet and tempting scent.
The truck drove off, and Yue Jiannan withdrew his gaze, taking Yue Qingqing by the hand to leave.
But when he tugged, she didn’t budge, as if her feet were nailed to the ground.
“Qingqing?” Yue Jiannan was puzzled.
Yue Qingqing just looked up at him, sweet and adorable, then glanced again at the popcorn machine.
Yue Jiannan resigned himself to handing her back to his big brother, and he took out so money from his pocket to buy so popcorn.
Yue Qingqing’s eyes curved into little crescents.
“Here.”
Yue Jiannan handed a small bag of popcorn to Yue Qingqing, teasingly complaining, “You little one, why are you such a glutton? If you’re outside, you’ll be called a food barrel.”
Yue Qingqing tilted her head innocently, as if she couldn’t be more guiltless if she tried.
As if to say, I didn’t even ask for it; you’re the one who offered to buy it.
Yue Jiandong was helpless, bending down to playfully scrape his daughter’s nose bridge, “You, little doll, are too cunning.”
He casually picked off so crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
The three of them crossed several streets and entered a clothing district.
The owner of Orchid Pavilion had t Yue Jiannan before, so the process of handing over the goods was swift.
Shi Yongshou even complinted him, “Your sister’s craftsmanship is really good. The scarf she made last ti was very popular with the custor, and her friends have placed a few orders too.”
Yue Jiannan took the materials for the next delivery and said a few flattering words.
Yue Jiandong was surreptitiously taking in the shops around the street, noting important details in his mind.
After they left the store, Yue Jiannan had a substantial amount of money on him—Yue Xiaofang’s earnings.
“Brother, we need to be careful. New Year’s is coming up, and there are more thieves around.”
Yue Jiannan surveyed the crowd around him with a vigilant gaze.
He even managed to shoot a few nacing glances at several n, causing them to glare back.
Yue Jiandong couldn’t help but gently pat his back, laughing, “Relax a bit. It’s getting late; let’s go have dinner.”
“Sure, I saw a Sichuan restaurant at the entrance of the street we ca in through. It looked pretty good.”
Yue Jiandong waved his hand grandly, “We’re not going there. Today, we’ll eat at the Four Seas Restaurant.”
“What?” Yue Jiannan was stunned, “Brother, what are you thinking? Is Four Seas Restaurant really a place we can go into?”
