After eating hot pot, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

It was already dark, and the lights at the doors of each store were turned on, colorful and flickering.

On the side of the parking road, an old lady was selling fried chestnuts with candy. The pot was steaming, and the fireworks were scattered, and the fragrance was everywhere.

Su Mian stood in front of the old lady's cart with her little hands in her arms, staring at the fragrant chestnuts rolling in the pot without blinking.

"Miss, do you want to taste one?"

The old lady had a kind face. Seeing her staring at her in a daze, she asked.

Su Mian shook her head, took out her cell phone from her pocket, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Mother-in-law, how do you sell these candy fried chestnuts?"

"Come on one pound."

Before the old lady could speak, a low male voice rang beside her.

Su Mian turned her head and saw Li Shen holding up his cell phone and scanning the QR code hanging on the cart.

The old lady held the small spatula and flipped it in the wrinkled pan. A gentle smile appeared on her wrinkled face, which was eroded by time.

"Come on, boy, little girl, this is your candy fried chestnut."

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Su Mian politely took the bag and hugged it in her arms.

The old lady blinked at her, "Don't be polite, little girl, my boyfriend is so kind to you, you must cherish it."

"Ah?" Su Mian was stunned and waved her hand quickly, feeling embarrassed, "No, mother-in-law..."

"Thank you, mother-in-law, weigh me another pound." Li Shen interrupted her.

"..." Su Mian choked and stared at Li Shen in a daze.

Don't explain it?

And, weigh one pound, can you finish eating?

The old lady happily weighed a pound and handed it to Li Shen, "Come on, young man, take good care of your girlfriend. If it is cold, you can eat it even if it is hot."

Li Shen nodded, touched Su Mian's furry little head in a very good mood, and a smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

Feng Jin followed the two of them, looking at Su Mian who was walking next to Li Shen, who was confused and sighed silently.

Master Jiu, can you restrain yourself? The corners of your mouth are about to reach the ears.

It will scare Miss Su away!

The old lady behind them smiled and held the small shovel and stir-fryed the round chestnuts.

Oh, I can go home early today!

The three of them got into the car, and Su Mian sat in the back seat with the candy fried chestnuts.

Feng Jin found her a plastic bag from somewhere, and she stuffed the peeled chestnut shell into it.

In the mouth, soft, glutinous and sweet.

Su Mian ate with relish.

She looked slightly to look at Li Shen, who leaned on the back of the chair and took a nap, sitting in a straight position, putting his arms on his legs, with a strong temperament.

Light of various colors shone on his face through the car window, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, outlining the delicate facial features, just like a handsome young man walking out of an oil painting, in a prosperous city, but not stained with the world.

Su Mian looked and peeled the chestnut shells.

She has a habit of eating such shelled things, likes to peel some, pile them together, and eat them slowly.

After a while, the clean paper bag was stuffed.

When Li Shen woke up, he looked slightly and saw that the little girl's mouth was bulging, like a greedy little squirrel.

This time he came to northern Jin, and someone got the news and spread it.

Several elders who had known each other for many years invited him to sit at home, but he couldn't refuse, so he took a trip.

From sending Su Mian to school in the morning to picking her up for dinner in the afternoon, I never stopped and couldn't help feeling a little tired.

He leaned on the back of the chair to sort out his thoughts, then raised his eyes and saw the little girl's white and tender little hands appearing in his sight.

There were a few peeled chestnuts in the palm of her palm, which were round and round, making her little hands look more whiter and flawless.
