At the same time the next day, Yang Man drove his own pickup truck to deliver goods to customers. The last gift was still given to the Li family.
After Yang Man stopped the car, he was not in a hurry to find Li Jianping, but asked where Li Jianping's sister was. Li Wei was busy cleaning the pool. Hearing that Yang Man was looking for her, he wondered what this woman was trying to do. She stood at the bottom of the pool, wearing rain boots, carrying a bucket in one hand and a brush in the other. Yang Man didn't mind that the bottom of the pool was slippery and went down.
"You are Li Jianping's sister, right? I didn't recognize you yesterday. I said some outrageous things to you at that time. Don't take it too seriously." Yang Man apologized sincerely.
Li Wei was stunned, and soon she said: "What a big deal, why bother you to come over and tell me this. This place is dirty, and your shoes have been carefully soiled." Li Wei's eyes naturally caught a glimpse of a pair of Yang Man's feet. Sneakers painted white.
Yang Man stood blankly for a while and saw that Li Wei was busy on his own and didn't care about her. It was not easy for her to take the brush and help. Until Li Jianping came to find him.
"Yang Man, I saw your car. People who didn't see you are still wondering, why did you get here?"
Yang Man raised his head and spoke to Li Jianping: "I want to talk to your sister about something."
"Have you washed the coat I gave you yesterday?"
Yang Man said: "It has been washed. I washed it myself in the evening. Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
"Then have you checked the inner pocket? Is there a black phone book, only three fingers wide, with a snap button on it."
"You are also a fool. You don't check the clothes carefully when you send them to be washed." Yang Man said and said to Li Wei: "Then I'll go up and you can take your time."
Li Wei nodded and continued the work at hand.
Yang Man walked up the stone steps. She reached into her pocket, and sure enough, she took out the small black book and handed it over. Seeing that the notebook was still in good condition, Li Jianping said happily: "Thank you so much. Although this thing is very ordinary, the things recorded in it are very important to me."
"Do you only have one sentence to thank you?"
Li Jianping solemnly put the phone book away and said to Yang Man: "You did me a favor, how can I thank you? Should I treat you to a meal? Or treat you to a hot spring bath."
"Of course you have to soak in the hot springs. Today is not a good time to come another day. As for eating, I can think about it. By the way, there is a new Western restaurant next to Xingxing Kindergarten. I heard that their steaks are very good. Why don't you treat me to a meal? This?" When Yang Man said this, his words were playful and innocent.
Li Jianping thought about it and thought it was feasible. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call Weiwei too. There are so many people and it's so lively."
When Yang Man heard about it, he immediately agreed: "Okay, you tell her, I'll go and put the car in reverse first."
“Weiwei, why don’t we go out for dinner together tonight?”
"Okay, what do you want to eat? Brother, is it a treat?"
Li Jianping smiled and said: "Eat Western food. Have you eaten outside?"
Huiliang has developed rapidly in recent years, and several Western restaurants have appeared. Li Wei didn't have any objections and agreed immediately.
But later she discovered that Yang Man was also there. Li Wei was a little surprised. Was she a light bulb
Li Jianping explained to her: "Yang Man has always taken good care of our family, and I have been looking for opportunities to treat guests. It's not easy for me to have such an opportunity. It's not good to just ask her out. You have to stay with me. Mom asked after a while Just tell her the truth."
Li Wei listened in confusion, and Li Jianping patted her on the head: "You can eat whatever you like then. Brother's treat."
The eldest brother treated her like a child again, so Li Wei had to agree temporarily. She went back to the house and changed into clean clothes. When she came out, she saw Yang Man leaning against the car talking to her elder brother.
The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, but they both had smiles on their faces.
When Yang Man saw her, he quickly waved to her and motioned for her to come over.
Li Jianping and Li Wei were sitting in the back seat of the car, and the passenger seat was empty. Yang Man lit the ignition, started the car, and was about to put down the handbrake when Li Jianping reminded her: "Aren't you wearing a seat belt?"
Yang Man smiled sheepishly: "I forgot."
"Drive carefully, or just drive slowly." Li Jianping felt that Yang Man was sometimes confused and careless.
"When are you going to learn to drive and buy a car to drive?"
"I don't plan to buy a car yet, but I definitely need to learn to drive. Do you have a familiar instructor? Can you recommend one?"
Yang Man smiled and said, "Of course."
Li Wei sat aside and remained silent, and she could not interrupt the conversation between the two. But the atmosphere between the two people was good.
The drive was pretty fast, and we entered the city in about twenty minutes. Yang Man first went to his shop, and then gave the collected goods to his mother.
Li Jianping took his sister to say hello to Mother Yang.
Naturally, Mother Yang knew Li Jianping. When she saw Li Wei, she smiled and said, "This girl is really tall and graceful."
After staying at Yang's house for a while, Yang Man told his mother that he wanted to go out for dinner. Yang's mother smiled and said, "Go, don't come back too late."
The three young people went out together, and Li Wei was the extra one. She walked behind and looked at the street scene of Huiliang in boredom. It was not dark at this time, and the street lights were not yet on, but it was already dusk, and there were not many pedestrians on the winter streets, which seemed very deserted.
Li Jianping was talking to Yang Man about the difficulties in doing business, and Yang Man also enlightened him: "It was not easy at the beginning. Our laundry has been open for more than half a year, and it has just made a profit, but the money to buy the machine I haven’t made any money back yet.”
The newly opened restaurant was quite far from Yang's laundry, and it took nearly twenty minutes to walk to the store.
Western restaurants have gradually flourished outside, and various fast food and cafes have emerged one after another. French, Italian, Thai, Korean and other dishes have also gradually appeared, but they are still relatively new to Huiliang. Young people who like to try new things are willing to come and taste it, but after eating it, not many people seem to buy it, so the store is a bit deserted.
They found a seat inside and sat down, and Li Wei took the initiative to sit inside by the window.
Yang Man looked around with the menu and then smiled and asked the brother and sister what they wanted to eat. Li Jianping asked Li Wei for his opinion. Li Wei took the menu and ordered a black pepper steak.
When the food arrived, Li Wei immersed himself in eating and felt less embarrassed. Li Jianping and Yang Man were still chatting all over the place together.
When the dinner was about to end, Yang Man's BP machine rang. She looked at the display, raised her head and said to her brother and sister, "I'm going to answer the phone. You guys wait for a while."
Li Jianping watched Yang Many go away.
