Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Brother

Tangtang seemed to feel a bit embarrassed by this, as he could tell that his brother was praising him.

Jian Zhiqing had been searching for his brother for quite a while, and now that his nerves had relaxed, he noticed his own hunger.

He put the little one down, and then took his small hand and sat him on the chair.

"Get me something to eat, and this little guy too," he touched his little brother’s cheek, wondering if he would grow up to be a pretty boy.

"Brother, Tangtang is full," the little one patted his own belly, "Sister took Tangtang to eat. Tangtang had yummy pancakes and sweet porridge," he counted on his little fingers, confirming that he indeed had eaten his fill and slept well too.

Jian Zhiqing stretched out his hand to touch his brother’s belly, thinking how lucky the kid was to have encountered Qin Xiangnuan. He didn’t know what kind of fate it was, but somehow it’s been Qin Xiangnuan twice now, otherwise the little guy would have had a hard time knowing what to eat.

Qin Xiangnuan served a lotus leaf pancake, and also prepared a bowl of hot and sour noodles for Jian Zhiqing, then brought it over and placed it on the table.

Oh, a change, Jian Zhiqing was surprised, but it seemed even tastier—steaming hot with a rich, spicy flavor. Being a smart man, he just needed to look at the scallion pancakes being sold at a nearby stall to realize what had transpired—someone got tricked.

But a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit; a young girl needs to stumble a few times to grow.

He took a bite of the hot and sour noodles; the taste was really spot on.

"The taste is good," he praised generously, without exaggerating, because it was indeed that delicious.

"Thank you," Qin Xiangnuan smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling, resembling a child of her age, not excessively calm as usual or too brooding to comprehend.

"Brother, give me a bite," Tangtang tugged at his own brother’s sleeve. It looked so red and fragrant, and he really wanted to try it.

"No way," Jian Zhiqing picked up the bowl, "You’re too young, it’ll be too spicy for you," he said, and he stood up and quickly finished the noodles and soup, not even leaving any bits of vegetables for his brother.

Tangtang pouted, angry and not talking to anyone anymore.

"Alright, we’re heading back," Jian Zhiqing picked up his sulking brother with one hand, and with the other, he touched his pocket.

He took out five yuan and put it in front of Qin Xiangnuan.

"How much is it?" he smiled, "I know you’re a straight-shooter, young as you are. Just charge what’s due; we still need to take the bus tomorrow to come back here to eat."

"Okay, Brother Jian, please wait a moment," Qin Xiangnuan took the five yuan without disdain or deception, and calculated in her mind that the total was 80 cents. Since she only served half a bowl of porridge to Tangtang, she charged five cents, so altogether, it came to 75 cents.

She gave Jian Zhiqing four yuan and two yuan fifty-five cents in change, which he did not even bother to look at before putting it in his pocket.

"Let’s go, little guy, we’re heading home first."

Tangtang, lying on his big brother’s shoulder, reached out with his little chubby paws and waved at Qin Xiangnuan.

"Sister, see you later, Tangtang will come again tomorrow to eat."

Alright, Qin Xiangnuan also waved to him, her gaze lingering on Tangtang’s little feet hanging in the air until the last moment.
