"Then it's settled."

"It's almost lunchtime now, so let's go to the state-run restaurant for a simple meal to celebrate Ruan Ruan and Xiao Jie becoming siblings."

With that, Huo Haocheng and the others headed towards the state-run restaurant.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the state-run restaurant, they saw the menu: Today's dishes include braised pork, sauerkraut fish, braised pork with potatoes, stir-fried greens, stewed chicken with green beans, braised eggplant, and dumplings.

"One of everything on the menu, plus six servings of rice and twelve meat buns."

Huo Haocheng went to order food on his own initiative, and the Zheng brothers, who were about to go to pay the bill together, were pulled by Huo Haoshen, one in each hand, and walked directly to an empty table.

"This meal is on my brother. Don't worry, he's got money, there's no need to skimp on him."

After ordering, Huo Haocheng returned, took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Excuse me, could you please scald my chopsticks with hot water?"

Although it was the first time the kitchen helper had heard of someone wanting to scald their chopsticks before eating, he didn't say anything, took the chopsticks from Huo Haocheng's hand, and put them into the pot of hot water.

The hot water pot is used for steaming buns and mantou. The water is always boiling, which is also convenient for scalding chopsticks.

Huo Haocheng, who came out with chopsticks, sat down next to Ruan Ruan, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the water off the chopsticks, and then placed them on the plate in front of Ruan Ruan.

Seeing Huo Haocheng's series of actions, Huo Haoshen also picked up his chopsticks and handed them to his elder brother.

"what?"

"Why don't you help wipe it?"

"Don't you have hands?"

"Shouldn't the eldest brother treat everyone equally?"

"Can you compare to your sister?"

"I.........."

Huo Haoshen looked at his elder brother, then at Ruan Ruan, and realized they really couldn't compare.

Huo Haoshen thought to himself, "You think you're so great just because you have a wife? This is still my sister!"

Zheng Xujie thought to himself with envy, 'When will I be able to play around with my brother like this?'

Zhang Yong thought, "Wow, you love your wife so much, but you're still a bit less devoted than me."

Zheng Xuyang: "I've just been force-fed a dose of dog food, burp, and I feel a bit...hugs."

Ruan Ruan looked at Huo Haocheng happily. She remembered seeing a short video saying that when looking for a boyfriend, you shouldn't look at what he says, but what he does. Now, Ruan Ruan felt like she had struck gold to find a boyfriend like Huo Haocheng.

(God, you just bumped into me, didn't you?)

"Table 2, your food is ready."

Several grown men got up together to serve the dishes.

Seeing so much rice in her bowl and two steamed buns in front of her, Ruan Ruan felt incredibly full.

"It was more than I could eat"

Ruan Ruan gently tugged at Huo Haocheng's sleeve and whispered in his ear...

"It's okay, you eat first, eat as much as you can, I'll eat the rest later."

"That's not good. We're outside now. Put half of it in your bowl first."

When Ruan Ruan heard Huo Haocheng say that he would eat what she left over, her ears immediately turned red.

Seeing Ruan Ruan like this, Huo Haocheng stopped teasing her, took her bowl, and divided half of it into his own.

Eat quickly.

After returning the bowl to Ruan Ruan, he picked up a piece of fish, removed all the bones, and put it in Ruan Ruan's bowl. Ruan Ruan lowered her head a little shyly and put the fish in her mouth.

The others didn't pay much attention to the interaction between the two and focused on eating.

Just as everyone was finishing their meal, a pair of women walked in from outside.

"Ruan Ruan, is it really you?"

The man saw Ruan Ruan standing right in front of him at the door and happily ran over.

It's you.

The person who arrived was Ruan Ruan's high school classmate, who had pursued her in school, but Ruan Ruan ignored him.

"Ruan Ruan, it's so great to see you here! I'm working at my mom's factory now. Have you found a job yet? Otherwise, I'll ask my mom to talk to the factory manager and see if you can get a job there too."

"My friend, I'm getting married soon, so I won't bother talking to your mom and dad. I'm not interested in working in a factory."

This guy is still the same; he talks about his mother all the time and needs to ask her for everything, like a giant baby who hasn't been weaned.

"You...you...you're getting married?"

The male classmate couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had pursued Ruan Ruan for so long, and had finally convinced his mother to accept her, but now she was saying she was getting married.

"You're getting married? How can you get married? I've already convinced my mother. She doesn't mind that you're from the countryside anymore, and she's agreed to let me marry you. Who are you going to marry? Him?"
