Chapter 306 Delicious Grilled Shrimp
With a smile on my face, I walked lightly over to the stall filled with seafood. My eyes fell on the lively and vibrant prawns, and I said to the stall owner, "Boss, these prawns look really good!" Upon hearing my praise, the stall owner's face immediately broke into a warm and bright smile. He replied with a broad smile, "Girl, you really have good taste! These prawns were just caught from the sea this morning. They are absolutely fresh!"
Moved by the stall owner's words, I pulled out my wallet and paid without hesitation. He deftly packed the shrimp I'd selected into a delicate box and handed it to me. After accepting the box, I contentedly continued walking down the street. As I walked, a variety of fragrant snacks came into view.
Although this is just an interstellar snack stall, and the dishes aren't as complex and varied as those on Earth, their advantage lies in the fact that the ingredients used are extremely fresh, without any so-called technology or hard work. Because of this, even after simple processing, these snacks still exude an enticing flavor that makes people salivate.
I couldn't help but stop and buy some small shellfish at another stall, along with a glass of refreshing juice. After I had everything I wanted to eat, I happily turned around and set off on my way home.
As I walked, my attention was drawn to a crowd gathered not far ahead. Intrigued, I quickened my pace to get a closer look. As I got closer, I discovered a skilled street performer performing an amazing magic trick.
The street performer stood there calmly, a smile on his face, a glittering coin in his hand. As everyone watched, he gently placed the coin in his palm, pursed his lips slightly, and blew into his palm. Something magical happened—the coin vanished like smoke in an instant!
This sudden scene left the onlookers stunned, followed by a wave of exclamations and enthusiastic applause. I was completely absorbed in this extraordinary performance, not blinking, afraid to miss a single detail. As the street performer completed each of his challenging moves, I couldn't help but clap my hands and cheer loudly.
After watching the street performers, I was still not satisfied and started walking again. Not far away, I passed a beautiful park. Just as I was about to rush through the park, I caught a glimpse of an elderly couple sitting on a bench, cuddling each other.
They looked old, yet time hadn't left many traces of age on them. At that moment, they huddled close together, whispering softly to each other, their faces brimming with warm, happy smiles. That smile was like the warmest spring sunshine, capable of dispelling all gloom and cold; it was also like a stream of clear, sweet spring water, slowly flowing into one's heart.
Gazing at this beautiful and harmonious scene before me, an indescribable warmth suddenly welled up in my heart. Perhaps this is the true meaning of love, ordinary yet incredibly precious and beautiful? It requires no flowery rhetoric or earth-shattering romantic gestures; it's simply two people supporting each other, walking hand in hand through the little moments of life's long journey... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile, and with this feeling of emotion, I continued walking towards my destination.
A short walk further, and the familiar door loomed before me—home was not far away. My pace quickened unconsciously, my heart brimming with anticipation. Finally, I reached the door. I pulled out my key and gently inserted it into the keyhole. With a click, the door opened.
As soon as I walked in, I headed straight for the kitchen. I'd bought some delicious shrimp and shellfish snacks for today, ready to indulge in a feast. I pulled them from the shopping bag and carefully unwrapped them, as if they were a precious gift. Then, I deftly poured the delicious treats onto a delicate plate.
Humming a cheerful tune, I busied myself happily. Soon, the kitchen was filled with the alluring aroma of shrimp. Like an invisible hand, the scent gently led me to the dining table.
I sat down with joy, unpacking my laptop, adjusting the angle, snapping a beautiful photo of the neatly arranged delicacies before me, and quickly sharing it on WeChat Moments. Only then, eagerly picking up my chopsticks, I plucked up a plump shrimp and placed it in my mouth. The tender shrimp flesh blossomed on my tongue, its delicious flavor instantly filling my mouth, and I couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. In that moment, all fatigue vanished, leaving behind only a sense of bliss and contentment.
After savoring this delicious food, I couldn't help but sigh, "Today is such a fulfilling and wonderful day!"
After enjoying a delicious seafood feast, I contentedly walked out of the house, enjoying the gentle breeze and taking a leisurely stroll. My emotions were mixed at that moment. Will the application I submitted be approved? Honestly, I had no idea! If it were approved, this cozy little house would soon undergo a monumental transformation. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic. I decided to cherish the time I had left to see it in its original state.
As I strolled slowly, lost in my own thoughts, the communicator hanging from my waist suddenly rang. The crisp ringtone was striking in the quiet atmosphere, and for a moment, my heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, beating rapidly. My first thought was: "Could it be the application results?" But then I remembered that it was the weekend and the staff were closed. Still, with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, I quickly pressed the answer button.
However, what came from the other end of the line wasn't the news I'd been waiting for, but the familiar and kind voice of my neighbor, the grandmother next door. She said with a smile, "My child, I made some delicious pastries unique to Ceres today, and I thought I'd bring some over for you to try." Hearing this, my heart settled a little, and I quickly replied, "Okay, Grandma, thank you. I'll be waiting right here for you."
After a while, I spotted the elderly woman in the distance, shuffling toward me with a smile on her face. She carefully carried an exquisitely crafted snack box, tied with a beautiful bow of colorful ribbon. As she approached, she handed it to me, looked at me with a smile, and said, "My child, you're always alone. I'm so heartbroken." We stood there and chatted casually. From her words, I heard many interesting stories about the neighborhood, and her deep attachment and love for this area was evident in her words.
For some reason, listening to the old woman's story, something in my heart trembled. If this application is ultimately approved and the renovation plan is implemented, will the residents who love this place so much, like the old woman, be disappointed and saddened? After all, they have spent so many years here, and perhaps they have already developed a deep and inseparable attachment to every inch of land and every scene...
