Chapter 150: Canteen (2/2)

This kind of little love story is really sweet enough, after hearing a few words, he can't pinpoint north, south, west, and east.

Xia Ye was satisfied and took Tang Jinyu out with him during summer vacation.

Xia Ye told the elders in the family that he happened to be on a business trip and was going to these places for a few days. Because he was with him all the way, the elders in the family let them go and let Tang Jinyu follow along. This is the habit that the Xia and Tang families had. Whether it was Tang Hongjun or Teacher Xia, they have seen their children grow up, they have experienced too many critical illness notifications, and everyone has reached a default condition, that is, when Tang Jinyu goes out, he must be accompanied by a family member.

Xia Ye is also a family member, so with him, they can rest assured wherever the child goes.

They went to Pingcheng first.

Tang Jinyu had been to Pingcheng twice before. It might’ve gotten there early at that time, because some buildings in the city had not yet been completed, especially the old city that looked very old has now changed slightly. Some houses have been demolished near the old city and a new shopping mall has been built. Although it was different from the previous time, it looked a bit similar to the one in Tang Jinyu’s dream, especially the shopping mall. It looked very familiar to him.

Xia Ye accompanied him to the mall for a round. Tang Jinyu was curious about everything. He wanted to buy something under the pretext of going around. After reading all over, he bought a lot of things.

Xia Ye didn't let him eat more snacks, but let him buy them. After buying them, only a small portion was left, and the rest were packed and mailed back home.

Tang Jinyu also went to see the high school here.

He can already think of which high school he was studying in his dream. After all, he went to class every day for several months, every day, but he doesn’t remember too clearly.

He directed them where to go, and Xia Ye drove as he spoke. During the period, he looked at him several times and asked in confusion: ”Xiaoyu, have you been here?”

Tang Jinyu still couldn’t say anything about it, when he thought of his reason, his mouth was still blocked. He vaguely said, “I checked the map before I came. There is a transfer student in our school who is here. He explained it very well, so I thought of checking it out.”

Xia Ye shifted his attention to the second half of the sentence, frowning slightly: ”It's not that great here.”

”I just wanted to come and see.”

”The high school where you study in Shanghai has a high rate of enrollment, and the basic teaching facilities are better than here.”

Tang Jinyu reacted and rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled: ”Brother, I don't want to transfer school, don't worry, I just heard my classmate say that the food in the school cafeteria was very delicious, and I was a little curious.”

Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove to the vicinity of the school.

During the summer, the school was empty and almost no one was there. The school was divided into two campuses. The middle and high school sections were on two sides. The dining hall was between them. There was a three-story old-fashioned building, which looked exactly the same as the auditorium on the side. If it were not for the two gilded characters of ”canteen” hanging upstairs, it would be impossible to distinguish them for a while.

Tang Jinyu walked up the steps, stepping up to the door and looking through the glass.

Xia Ye followed and said, ”There should be no one here now.”

”Yes, the school nurses are here every year.” Tang Jinyu said while watching, ”This is how our school is, and there will be a few teachers here…I see people!”

Tang Jinyu opened the glass door and walked in to greet the people inside. Because it was summer vacation, there were very few people here, and only a few old men who worked in the back kitchen. Xia Ye was worried that the little guy would be embarrassed, so he was already thinking about his words, but before he could get there, he saw that his brother had already made the old men laugh. One of the elders waved his hand and said: ”That's not right, I just make a few worthless breakfasts,'Chinese burgers'? Your name is strange and nice, but I actually make a steamed bun with ham and fried eggs in it, it's very simple!”

Tang Jinyu said, ”Really, my classmate said that it was the best one. Every morning, they would run over to grab a portion, and if they ran slowly then they wouldn’t get any!”

When the uncle heard that his small snack had gone out of the circle, it spread to Shanghai. And now there are people who come here to try some. If they don’t have the materials at hand, they would’ve had to roll up their sleeves and make some Chinese burgers for Tang Jinyu on the spot.

The uncles in the back kitchen had a good time chatting with the little guy, and they didn't rush people like the guards. They wiped the tables and chairs on the side with towels and let the two of them sit down and chat together.

Xia Ye sat there listening the whole time, his brother held the audience alone, and the three old men had a good chat and told them a lot of news.

”Eight-treasure rice? We also have it. Let me tell you, I make Chinese burgers, but this eight-treasure rice is very good!” The uncle was so happy that he patted his legs and said to him, ”Don't underestimate the Eight-treasure rice, this rice is exquisite. This craftsmanship was not handed down from my ancestors, but taught to me by an old friend who I knew many years ago. That old man has great craftsmanship. A serious chef, who knows all kinds of dishes. He used to sell fried skewers at a stall in the night market in the old city. By coincidence, he is also named Tang, the same as your surname!”

Tang Jinyu's heart beat faster, he looked at him and said, ”That old man, what is his name?”

”Tang Zhengde.”

Tang Jinyu clenched his hand for a few minutes, suppressed the heat surging from the corner of his eyes again, and tried his best to continue to ask in a steady voice, ”That Grandpa Tang, where has he gone now?”
