Chapter 163: Shanhai Town (1/2)
Song Yi reported that Tang Zhengde was found in a place called Shanhai Town. After verifying his identity, it was the old man they were looking for. The other party is now working in a tourist attraction in Shanhai Town, and is still engaged in back kitchen-related work, providing meal services to the scenic staff.
Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu directly to Shanhai Town.
Unfortunately, when they arrived, the old man happened to be out shopping and was going to come back the next day.
Song Yi was here, so Xia Ye said a few words with him. Tang Jinyu couldn't wait after saying hi to him, and went to the staff of the scenic spot to inquire about it.
The staff of the scenic spot said to him: ”Uncle De usually goes shopping on the weekends quite a bit. There is still a way away from the town. In addition, the scenic spot was rebuilt in the past two years and part of it was demolished. Many people have moved out, and have to go a little farther to buy things.”
(T/n: Tang Zhengde- Uncle De)
Tang Jinyu asked, ”Where did he go? Is there a regular vegetable market?”
”Oh, this is really hard to say. Sometimes he goes to the town’s food market, but sometimes he buys more outside when he goes to the market, so I’m not sure. Uncle De also goes to the farm to collect some vegetables. It’s all in this season, and it’s very fresh.”
The old man has high requirements for cooking, but his craftsmanship is good. People here in the scenic area love to eat. In addition, he doesn't spend much money. Even if he spends more time choosing, it will be from his own past cooking. The leader of the scenic area also agreed and doesn’t care much about it.
The more Tang Jinyu asked, the more he felt that this was the person he was looking for.
No matter if it is speaking or style, they are exactly the same as the stubborn old man who he grew up with.
”Grandpa… I mean Grandpa Tang, when will he be back?”
”Sometimes he comes back on Saturday night, but sometimes I have to wait for Sunday night, but he will definitely be back before Monday, he has to go to work in the morning.”
Tang Jinyu thanked the other party and ran to find Xia Ye. Xia Ye had already talked a few words with Song Yi and saw him come over and beckoned: ”Did you say hello?”
Tang Jinyu nodded with a look of excitement. Xia Yeguang knew that he had found him this time, and smiled: ”Then go back to the hotel first, and I will wait there with you.”
Tang Jinyu walked two steps and looked back, then whispered to him, ”Brother, can I stay here?”
Xia Ye also glanced at his line of sight, shook his head and said, ”There is no place to stay here.”
”I can stay with the employees. I just heard them say that there’s some place still available. Let's rent one, okay…”
Xia Ye was looked down upon by him, but still insisted: ”Your health is not good, the weather is hot, it’s better to be in the hotel, did you forget that you have to video with your aunt tonight? Let her see you live in the staff dormitory, and I won’t be able to take you out again in the future.”
Tang Jinyu hesitated, still looking back.
Although Song Yi didn't know why they were so eager to find people, his advantage was that he never asked more questions, and only did more work, and calmed him down a few words, ”Xiaoyu, don't worry, the hotel is in the town, and it’s not too far away. I have my phone, and I’ll receive the news as soon as they come back, okay? I’ll drive you over at that time, okay? It’s a ten-minute drive at most. Although it’s a scenic spot, there are quite a few people here. I haven't seen a traffic jam for a few days here.”
Tang Jinyu nodded and went back to the hotel with them.
Tang Jinyu originally thought that Shanhai Town was nothing more than a small town with no high-end hotels, but after he went there, he realized that the hotels here are very well built. They don’t look like the unified buildings of other places. Instead, they seem to be made by experts. It was a hotel with a Chinese garden structure. They live in one of the courtyards, a single-door courtyard, with brand-new lanterns and wooden signs on the house number plate with the word ”Xiafu” written on it.
Tang Jinyu looked up and asked, ”Brother, it seems that your name is written on it.”
Xia Ye saw it too, turned to look at Song Yi, and Manager Song coughed: ”I didn't know that there would be such a special arrangement. You didn't give me Xiaoyu's ID card, so I had to hang up your name first.”
Tang Jinyu's documents are generally in the hands of the elders of Xia and Tang's two elders, and Xia Ye consciously joined them when he became an adult and became his guardian.
He guards more tightly than others, from online to offline, it was not airtight, but Tang Jinyu's information is really rarely known to outsiders except him and his family.
Before Xia Ye could speak, he heard the little guy next to him cheer. He took a photo with his phone and said, ”This is too interesting, Brother Song, can I put my name on tomorrow? I want a ‘Tang Courtyard’ too!”
Song Yi asked him: ”Do you want to open another one?”
Tang Jinyu immediately shook his head: ”No, I’ll stay with my brother. Today I will enter Xia’s Courtyard, and tomorrow my brother will also live in my Tang Courtyard. How interesting!” Once he thought about the feeling of raising his brother in his place, he felt that it was beautiful, with a feeling of identity replacement, and he can also be a little master.
In the evening, they ate local specialties. The portion is affordable and the taste is good.
After Tang Jinyu came to Shanhai Town, his heart was relieved, and with Xia Ye accompanying him, he ate more for dinner.
The bedroom here is an ensuite, but Tang Jinyu didn't sleep on his own. He hugged his pillow and went to find Xia Ye.
He just finished washing, and sat on the bed wrapped in a large bathrobe and read a travel magazine. His eyes often fell on the side of the small hall. From his perspective, he can just see Xia Ye working. No matter how he looked at it, he was very handsome.
Tang Jinyu cupped his chin and laughed.
He really wants to see how his brother is still at work when he is in his seventies. He should be the same as he is now. He always has a straight face and doesn't say a word. When he is old, he is restrained and diligent and meets other people. If he does something wrong, his actions will slow down, and can't help but frown, as if he can't understand why the other party can't do it.
Xia Ye came over, looked at him, and asked him strangely: ”What's the matter? You’ve been looking at me for awhile just now.”
Tang Jinyu beckoned: ”Brother, come, I have something to tell you.”
Xia Ye sat over, sat on the edge of the bed with him, and listened carefully.
Tang Jinyu leaned closer, rubbing his nose against him, ”Brother, you were so handsome just now.”
Xia Ye felt that the little guy’s voice was soft, like a small sticky cake, and he whispered, ”Where am I handsome?”
