“Doctor Liu.” Yu Liman nodded politely at Liu Dequan and looked at Qin Xi. She smiled kindly and said, “Can I call you Xi?”
“As you wish, Madam.” Qin Xi nodded and smiled.
Yu Liman took her hand and said, “Don’t call me Madam. If you don’t mind, just call me Auntie Liman.”
“Auntie Liman.”
Zhao Dan said impatiently, “Alright, it’s hot out here. Let’s go in and talk!”
After entering the house, Cheng Haizhong went to make a call.
Yu Liman made a pot of cold tea and brought it over. She took out two bottles of drinks from the fridge and asked Qin Xi with a smile, “You young people don’t like tea. Try this drink! It’s made by the factory. See if you like it.”
Qin Xi looked at the packaging and was a little stunned, but she quickly returned to normal. However, her hand that was holding the drink was trembling. “Thank you, Auntie Liman.”
Yu Liman did not notice her abnormality. She smiled and looked at Liu Dequan. “By the way, Doctor Liu, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go make some home-cooked food now. Although it’s not as good as the food in the restaurant, it’s clean. It’ll be ready soon.”
Qin Xi quickly shook her head. “Auntie Liman, don’t trouble yourself. We have to go soon. If we have time in the future, we’ll come to try your cooking.”
Liu Dequan took a sip of tea and said, “Yes, we plan to go to Luoping City later. I heard from Cheng that there’s a train here that goes directly to Luoping City. We want to arrive there before dark.”
......
At this moment, Zhao Dan suddenly asked, “Are you going to Luoping City?”
Qin Xi nodded and asked in confusion, “Yes, what’s the matter, Auntie Zhao?”
“What a coincidence. I have to return to Luoping City tomorrow morning as well. I was delayed because of some matters. If you’re in a hurry to leave, I can drive you there,” Zhao Dan said.
Qin Xi rejected with a wave of her hand, “Auntie Zhao, you don’t have to go out of your way to do that. I’ll take the train with Grandpa Liu.”
Yu Liman covered her mouth and chuckled. “She was delayed because she was waiting for the vegetables. She wouldn’t leave unless she took some home.”
Zhao Dan was not embarrassed at all when her true motive was exposed. She asked Qin Xi with interest, “I really want to know why the vegetables you grow are so big. What kind is it? To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen such a big tomato!”
Qin Xi smiled and said mischievously, “Auntie Zhao, I can’t tell you. This is a secret.”
For a moment, Zhao Dan was at a loss as to what to say. She regretted asking too much.
Of course, it was a secret. If she kept asking, not only would she put Qin Xi in a difficult spot, but she would also be very annoying.
“I was being nosy. By the way, I run a food store and I also sell some vegetables. Ever since I ate your vegetables, I’ve been wanting to sell them in my store. What do you think?”
When Qin Xi heard that, her eyes lit up. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked, “Is Auntie Zhao’s supermarket big? What do you mainly sell?”
“Supermarket? What’s a supermarket?” Zhao Dan was puzzled.
Qin Xi facepalmed and immediately put it in another way. “I mean store. What kind of food does your store sell?”
“I work with my sister-in-law. We mainly sell canned food, fruits, vegetables, and some daily necessities.”
Qin Xi pondered for a moment before asking, “Auntie Liman, who are your suppliers?”
Yu Liman thought for a moment and said, “I heard from Cheng that the suppliers are from the villages around here, including Shangwan Village, I think.”
