Idle Chats in the 60s

Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.

When Gu Qingbe...

Chapter 27 First Meeting

Everyone was eating and chatting, and she was too embarrassed to look around, so she just stared at the door in a daze.

But I saw a familiar figure, and there was a tall man beside him.

He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, with a black jacket draped over his arm.

He was carrying a huge army green backpack on his back and two large luggage bags in his hands.

The whole person looks like a soldier, but nowadays soldiers don’t wear uniforms, and rarely wear white shirts.

Without thinking too much, the person at the door also noticed Jiang Mengxue. His eyes lit up and he left the people around him and came forward.

"Doctor Jiang, what a coincidence that you're also eating at the state-owned restaurant. My cousin is back today, and while some are at work or school, we just came out to eat."

"Let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, Gu Qingbei. He's a soldier and he just got off the train after coming back to visit his family."

Gu Qingbei nodded to Jiang Mengxue: "Hello, comrade."

"Hello Comrade Gu, my name is Jiang Mengxue."

The other person was holding something in his hand, so the two of them just nodded briefly to greet each other.

Gu Huaijue looked around and said, "I didn't expect so many people to come here today. Doctor Jiang, do you mind if we share a table?"

In a short while, the lobby was full, and many tables were shared. Only Jiang Mengxue, a female comrade, was there, and no one dared to come over.

Of course Jiang Mengxue didn't mind. When there were a lot of people, it was normal for seven or eight people to squeeze onto one table, not to mention that she was the only one there now.

"Sure, I'm the only one at this table."

Gu Huaiju glanced at Gu Qingbei who was following behind her and smiled meaningfully.

"Put your things aside first. Let's go order the food. Your sister Zhenzhen is probably helping out in the back."

Gu Qingbei nodded at Jiang Mengxue, put down the things in his hands and on his back, and went to the back kitchen window.

"My sister is the waitress at the state-owned restaurant, and my brother-in-law is the chef. My brother just got off the train and came here. He has to go back to the countryside this afternoon, so he can only come now because he doesn't have enough time. Doctor Jiang, please take a seat first. I'll go over."

Jiang Mengxue nodded, and then she remembered that she felt a little embarrassed.

The siblings should have something to talk about together, so it might not be appropriate for her to sit with them. Why not just pack up the food and eat it at home?

But they were talking now, and her food hadn't even been served yet. It wouldn't be nice for her to disturb them, so she really didn't know what to do.

Gu Huaizhen, who had just whispered to her second sister, looked up at her youngest cousin.

Thinking of the female comrade who had just ordered the food, he suddenly smiled obscenely.

Gu Qingbei stood aside, puzzled. What was wrong with his two cousins? Why were they looking at him and smiling so obscenely?

They were not staff here, so it was not convenient for them to go to the kitchen. When Chef Miao Dingwang heard that it was his sister-in-law and brother-in-law who had arrived, he hurried out to say hello and then went back to work.

There were only him and an aunt helping in the kitchen. It was very busy at that time and there was really no time for small talk. Gu Qingbei naturally didn't mind and let him do his own thing.

"Okay, I get it. You guys go sit down first. I'll bring the food over later. You don't have to come over. Hurry up, there are people around. It would be embarrassing for a little girl to sit alone."

Gu Huaizhen winked at Gu Qingbei as she spoke.

Gu Qingbei didn't take it seriously, thinking it might be because they hadn't seen each other for too long. The letter didn't mention when his cousin's eyes became ill, so he planned to ask her when he had time. Could she still see clearly when her eyelids blinked so quickly for no apparent reason?

"Dr. Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you while you're having lunch. We came at a really bad time. All the seats are full. We have to squeeze in with you."

Gu Huaijue came out and sat down next to Jiang Mengxue.

Gu Qingbei sat down opposite Jiang Mengxue, but he didn't feel comfortable staring at her, so he could only stare at the serving window, waiting for the food to be served.

I haven't had a proper meal after sitting on the train for several days, and I'm already starving.

"Doctor Jiang, are you planning to go back to the countryside after dinner? Have you moved the things in your room yet?"

"Not yet. I'll clean up after dinner and catch the last bus back in the afternoon. I'll still make it in time."

Gu Huaijue felt a little disappointed when he saw that his younger brother didn't take the initiative to chat with other lesbians. No wonder he was still single at his age. He deserved to be single. He didn't know how to seize the opportunity right in front of him.

"If you need any help, just tell me and I'll find someone to help you. Besides, my brother has been in the army and is very strong. He can easily move furniture."

Jiang Mengxue didn't take it seriously, thinking that the other party was just being polite.

"Thank you, Sister Gu. I don't have much in my room. I can fix it in a few trips. I don't need to trouble you."

"Doctor Jiang is almost 20, right? Do you have a partner?"

Jiang Mengxue was really helpless. At this age, the thing she talked about most with others was whether they had a partner.

"Not yet. I just started working. There's no rush."

"That's right. You young people nowadays all want to make a career and are in no rush to start a family. But you're still young, so you can wait."
