"Long time no see," Qiao Xiaomai said as she pulled Tong Sanlang with her and casually sat down at the table.
Shopkeeper Zhou, upon seeing this intimate act, laughed and said, "Congratulations on your union!"
Although Qiao Xiaomai didn't invite him to her wedding, he knew about it.
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai reached into her pocket and pulled out a handful of candy, "Please, Shopkeeper, have some celebration candy."
The candy wasn't maltose but milk candy she made from cow's milk earlier, which tasted quite good.
Shopkeeper Zhou picked one up, peeled off the wax paper wrapping, and popped it into his mouth. Then he gave a thumbs up toward Qiao Xiaomai, "Sweet!"
"I made it myself. Shopkeeper, do you want me to teach you how to make it?" This offer came out of the blue, as she hadn't thought of it before she walked in.
However, it would be even better if Zhu Hongyun were confined to the kitchen.
It now depended on whether Shopkeeper Zhou would play along or not.
