Many onlookers saw Yang Cheng eat 66 dumplings and started cheering for Yang Cheng.
When the fourth plate was served, Yang Cheng took a deep breath and started to gulp down the dumplings again.
In the last 30 seconds, Yang Cheng forcefully swallowed 88 dumplings, which made the waiters and the dumpling shop owner dumbfounded.
Yang Cheng took a napkin and wiped his mouth. "Erm … It's not time yet. I'm done."
The onlookers cheered, and the dumpling shop owner did not know whether to laugh or cry. This was originally a trick to attract customers, but he did not expect someone to eat 88 dumplings.
But he had to fulfill his promise. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive in Zhonghai anymore.
The dumpling shop owner personally handed the dumpling doll to Yang Cheng. The plump doll with white dumplings and pink cheeks made many girls cry out in admiration.
The boss immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of dumplings. There were 16 different types of dumplings.
"Excuse me, are you two treating your friends?" The dumpling shop owner asked.
Yang Cheng shook his head. "It's just me and my wife."
The boss knew what Dong Xuebing meant, but he still brought the two to a large table in the private room. After all, a table of dumplings could not be placed on a small table.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng rubbing his stomach as he walked. She was annoyed and amused at the same time. She thought to herself that this man was one of a kind. Why did he always do such frightening things?
When they entered the private room, Yang Chen passed the cute dumpling plushie to Lin Ruoxi with both hands. Smiling brightly, he said, "Here, a new year's present. I finally won it."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. She widened her eyes and suddenly realized that Yang Cheng participated in this crazy eating competition to win this doll as her New Year's gift?!
Yang Cheng smiled awkwardly. "I was just thinking about what kind of gift to give you. I live in your house, eat your food, drive your car, and even my salary is paid by you. You're the one who gave me new clothes to wear during the New Year. I want to give you a gift. Even if I spend money to buy it, I will be using your money to buy it for you. That's not even a gift from me. This dumpling doll is not bad. I know you will definitely like it. This meal is free, so it doesn't count as your money. Just treat it as a New Year's gift to my dear Ruoxi. "
Looking at Yang Cheng's hand that was still rubbing his bulging belly, and hearing Yang Cheng's strange remarks, Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt a little sour in her nose.
"Are you a fool?"
"Huh?" Yang Cheng was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.
"I say," Lin Ruoxi took the cute doll from Yang Cheng's hand and played with it with her head down. "I say, you're a fool, right? Other than a fool, who would think of such a way to give someone a gift?"
Yang Cheng smiled embarrassedly. "I can't help it. If I'm a fool, then I'm a fool. As long as you like this little thing, it's fine."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the smiling dumpling doll in her hand. Her heart was in a mess. In the end, she nodded. "I like it very much."
"Hehe, your hubby is still very amazing. Look at those girls outside. They want it, but their boyfriends can't even eat 88 dumplings. This is the time to show my advantage! "Yang Cheng said proudly.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her eyes were originally red, but at this moment, her tears couldn't fall.
After the two sat down, the room was quiet for a while. Lin Ruoxi pinched the doll in her hand and suddenly said in a faint voice, "In the past, grandma would always give me a gift during the New Year. Sometimes it was a toy, sometimes it was a book, sometimes it was a delicious snack … But no matter what it was, I just felt happy. There was nothing special about it. Anyway, in our family, we just bought whatever we wanted … Later, grandma and mom passed away, and no one gave me a gift during the New Year. At that time, I realized that not everything can be bought with money … "
Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Don't you have me? I'll come back next year to eat and give you another one. Just now, there was a pink one on the counter. Yours is only white. Next time, I'll help you win a pair. "
"You …" Lin Ruoxi smiled sweetly like a blooming jasmine. "You're just like a child. Don't do such a silly thing next time. Although you can eat a lot, it's very uncomfortable."
"Is this considered a wife's concern for her husband?" Yang Cheng blinked and asked.
Lin Ruoxi pouted and didn't say anything.
After a while, the dazzling array of dumplings was served. Looking at the table full of dumplings, Lin Ruoxi frowned and said, "I can't even finish one plate. What should I do with these?"
Yang Cheng casually ate two crab dumplings and felt that he had lost his appetite. He smiled and said, "You eat some while it's hot. Take the rest home. Anyway, these dumplings have good dough. We can heat them up and eat them."
Half an hour later, Yang Cheng carried two big bags of packed dumplings out of the shop. Lin Ruoxi hugged the dumpling doll and followed by his side. The two returned to the parking lot together.
In the parking lot, Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Can you accompany me to a place?"
Yang Cheng was stunned. "Where?"
Lin Ruoxi showed a bit of sadness. "I suddenly want to see Grandma and Mom. Come with me."
Yang Cheng understood. These days, there was a younger sister at home, and Yang Cheng found a mother-in-law. Today, after a few years, he received a New Year's gift.
Lin Ruoxi's originally frozen heart gradually began to miss the past. It was reasonable for her to think of her grandmother and mother.
"Actually, we should have gone to see Grandma and Mom long ago. Although we only sweep the graves during the Qingming Festival, we're married. We should at least go and tell them." Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi smiled and took the initiative to sit in Yang Cheng's car. She said, "Leave my car here. I'll send someone to drive it home."
Yang Cheng nodded. After getting in the car, he followed Lin Ruoxi's instructions and drove all the way out of the city to a high-end mausoleum area in the western suburbs.
After nearly 40 minutes, the car drove into a hillside area surrounded by green pines and cypresses. The road was quiet, and occasionally, some fat squirrels jumped over, making the road a bit more lively.
Yang Cheng parked the car on the flat ground at the foot of the hill. The cemetery was halfway up the hill, so they needed to walk up.
After they got out of the car, Yang Cheng slapped his thigh. "Oh no, I forgot to bring gifts for Mom and Mom. I didn't even bring paper money."
Lin Ruoxi was a little sad in her heart, but at this moment, the haze was swept away. She rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng. "Don't worry. I've burned a lot during the Qingming Festival this year."
"Hehe, that's good. I don't know if Mom and Mom have eaten dumplings." Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi held back her laughter and ignored Yang Cheng's funny words.
In fact, she also knew that she was in a bad mood along the way, and Yang Cheng was deliberately making her happy.
Just as they were about to go up the hill along the winding path, Yang Cheng saw a black Audi A8 slowly leaving the cemetery not far away.
Seeing the car, Yang Cheng slightly frowned and then followed Lin Ruoxi to the hillside.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Ruoxi was struggling to catch her breath. The two finally arrived at the cemetery of Lin Ruoxi's grandmother and mother.
The cemetery was very clean. It must have been cleaned often. It was also very simple. Other than the tombstone, there were two Great Luohan Pines blocking the light.
However, what caught their attention was that in front of Lin Ruoxi's mother's tombstone, there was a fresh bouquet of flowers. It was a rare Chinese redbud flower. It should be a species from Lingnan because its petals were especially big.
"It seems that someone came to visit Mom before." Lin Ruoxi was also startled for a moment.
Yang Cheng looked at Lin Ruoxi's mother's tombstone. There was a small portrait of Xue Zijing on it. Although it was exposed to the wind and the sun, it could still be seen clearly, "Mother-in-law is called 'Xue Zijing'. Zijing … Redbud, it does sound like it."
"Hmm …" Lin Ruoxi bent down and touched the petals of the Chinese redbud flower with her fingers. "When my mother was alive, she liked the Chinese redbud flower the most. This kind of Chinese redbud flower is also her favorite species. It might be one of her good friends. I've seen it once during the Qingming Festival, but I don't know who sent it. "
Yang Cheng looked at the photo of Xue Zijing on the tombstone and said with a smile, "You do look like Mother-in-law, but you're even more beautiful than Mother-in-law."
Lin Ruoxi's face turned slightly red. She was quite happy to be praised so directly, but she still glared at Yang Cheng, "Don't be serious in front of my mother."
Yang Cheng smiled embarrassedly. That's right, how could he tease his wife in front of his mother-in-law?
After standing in front of Xue Zijing's grave for a while, Lin Ruoxi went to the tombstone of her most affectionate grandmother. It was also the first time Yang Cheng saw the old CEO's appearance.
Lin Ruoxi had a good relationship with her grandmother. Standing in front of the tombstone, she said to Yang Cheng, "Yang Cheng, can you stay away for a while? I want to talk to Grandma."
Yang Cheng nodded, bowed in front of the tombstone, and walked away.
After a long time, Lin Ruoxi, who was standing in front of the tombstone, stretched out her hand and stroked the tombstone. A sweet and sour smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Grandma, it's New Year. I didn't come to see you in the past. You know, every time I come here, I cry. You said that girls who cry are ugly …
But this year, I must come. I'm married. I have to tell you and mom before New Year's Eve that I'm like a scoundrel … His name is Yang Cheng.
Grandma, I'm in a complicated mood now. It turns out that there are so many things to do after getting married. It turns out that getting along with a man can be so strange …
Grandma, my heart is my own. But now, I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't see myself clearly.
I think that Yang Cheng is really annoying. I don't like him. He calls me 'Yang Cheng' all day long. He doesn't do his work well and always runs outside. He's with another woman in front of me. He doesn't go home at night and spends the night with another woman. Now that he has found his mother, he suddenly has a mother-in-law who treats me badly … Today, they even teamed up to bully me …
He always does what he wants and does what he wants. He often does all kinds of things that make me angry and scare me …
Also, he always forgets what he promised me. He doesn't go home and doesn't call me. Every time, he makes me wait for him stupidly …
But, but, because of him, I feel so happy, but also because of him, I feel very sad. Grandma, am I very strange … "
The cold mountain wind blew over the hill. Lin Ruoxi narrated as if she was talking to herself. Her voice drifted in the air and disappeared.
Yang Chen stood at the corner of the hill and looked at the silhouette standing in front of the tombstone. He suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"Silly woman, what if one day, all of your beliefs turn into bubbles? What if one day, all of your hopes turn into a mirage? Will you … be able to bear it?"
Yang Cheng turned his head and looked in the direction where the Audi had just left. His eyes were deep as he muttered to himself.
