Chapter 116 The father and daughter were stranded in the provincial capital.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Qiao Qiao handed over the five cents and took the sweet potato from him. She hugged the warm sweet potato to her chest and sniffed it. "It smells so good."

"Yes, these are sweet potatoes that we grew ourselves this year. We dried them for two days until they were soft inside before roasting them. That's how you make sweet potatoes sweet."

The old man took out a clean, cut-open bag of salt from his pocket, took out two cents from it, and gave the two men change.

Qiao Qiao shook her head and didn't take it. Instead, she pointed to the roasted egg next to her and said, "Grandpa, I want another roasted egg."

"Okay, okay." Upon hearing this, the old man happily took the money back.

Actually, after Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong finished their phone call, they had already eaten a bowl of soup noodles at a breakfast shop and were quite full before they were preparing to return to the guesthouse.

But when I passed by this old man's stall at the corner, seeing him pushing a tricycle to sell sweet potatoes in the snow, I felt a little sorry for him, so I came over to buy some.

After the old man finished baking the eggs and wrapped them up, Qiao Changdong took them from him, and then Qiao Qiao took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand.

"Oh dear, this child, how can I accept this..." The old man paused for a moment.

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Qiao Qiao say, "Grandpa, this is delicious. A sweet treat for the New Year will bring you good fortune."

These words are truly auspicious and pleasing.

The old man didn't refuse again, but happily accepted it. He even wanted to give Qiao Qiao a few sweet potatoes, but the father and daughter refused, saying that if they couldn't finish them, they would go cold and be wasted.

Holding sweet potatoes, Qiao Changdong walked to the entrance of the guesthouse. Just as he was about to step onto the steps with Qiao Qiao in his arms, he saw a car parked less than two meters away from them.

Both father and daughter instinctively looked over.
