[Era Hoarding & Daigou App] Upon waking up, Su Xiaoxiao transmigrated into a book, finding herself in the impoverished 1970s. Her family of six had only two able-bodied workers, so poor that th...
Chapter 360 Good Physical Strength
"Why are you shy? I'm not trying to steal your girlfriend. By the way, what do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you. It's my treat."
Zhang Xiaohong came up to her very enthusiastically. She had always liked Su Xiaoxiao and was thinking of introducing her cousin to her. However, she didn't know that she already had a partner, and that partner was so outstanding.
"Sister, you misunderstood. He is really not my partner. He is just an ordinary friend."
Su Xiaoxiao tried to explain again, but the other party didn't listen to her at all.
"Tsk, your boyfriend seems to have a high military rank. I was thinking of introducing my cousin to you, but it seems he's marrying above his station."
Zhang Xiaohong patted Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder with envy, leaned close to her and whispered, "Tell your boyfriend to introduce me to a soldier someday. Then I'll kick Chen Tieshan out. He looks like he's got good stamina..."
“Cough cough cough…”
Su Xiaoxiao almost choked on her own saliva. This elder sister was really bold in saying that in front of so many people.
Her face flushed red, and she said hurriedly: "Sister, let's go eat first, we can talk later."
After saying that, she walked quickly inside. After taking two steps, she heard a familiar voice calling her.
When I looked up, I almost slipped and fell into the mud.
I was so embarrassed that I didn't notice it just now, but now I realize that Chen Tieshan is sitting not far away from them.
The other party probably couldn’t hear what Sister Chen just whispered to her, right?
Su Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably guilty. Which nice guy would say he wanted to change his partner in front of his partner?
She put on an awkward yet polite smile: "Brother Chen, what a coincidence, come to eat."
Chen Tieshan nodded and waved his hand: "If you don't mind, let's eat together? I just happen to have something to talk to you about."
Are you going to discuss business with her?
There was money to be made, and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Captain Zhou, this is my brother. Do you mind having dinner together?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Cheng with sparkling eyes, her eyes full of passion for money.
Zhou Cheng: “…”
If she loves money so much, why didn't she accept the money he gave her before? And why did she even go out of her way to buy him things to pay him back?
Of course he minded. He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to go on a date alone, but a light bulb suddenly popped up in the middle of the process.
But... when he met Su Xiaoxiao's eyes that seemed to be glowing, he nodded.
He is a man and should be generous.
Seeing that he agreed, Su Xiaoxiao pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Come, PLA comrade, sit here."
Zhou Cheng was originally struggling over whether to sit next to Su Xiaoxiao, when Chen Tieshan enthusiastically pulled out the stool next to him and invited him to sit down.
Honghong just wanted this guy to help introduce her to someone, right? Then he wanted to be alone with his girlfriend, no way.
Chen Tieshan had a smile on his face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Zhou Cheng met his smile and felt that something was wrong, but... this man was Comrade Su's sworn brother, so he must have been overthinking it.
After the two of them sat down, Chen Tieshan got straight to the point: "Sister, I ordered all the goods as soon as I got them. Can you help me get another batch? The quantity should be twice as much as before."
In front of Zhou Cheng, he didn't want to explain it too clearly, so he communicated in a way that only the two of them knew.
Twice? She didn't expect her brother to be so capable. It had only been a short time, and he had sold so many sewing machines.
As long as there is money to be made, of course she will accept any offer.
He immediately said, "No problem, pick up the goods at the same place tomorrow night."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
The two of them were chatting animatedly, and Zhou Cheng was almost like a decoration beside them, unable to get a word in.
"Why are you still here?"
When Zhang Xiaohong came to serve the dishes, she saw Chen Tieshan chatting enthusiastically with her girlfriend, leaving her girlfriend aside with no room to interrupt.
She put the dishes heavily on the table and said, "My sister and her boyfriend are having dinner, why are you getting in the way? Get out of here right now."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Chen Tieshan's ear and lifted him up from the stool.
"Ouch, Honghong, please be gentle, my ears are about to fall off."
Chen Tieshan was more than a head taller than Zhang Xiaohong, and when she pulled his ears and made him bend over to cooperate, he looked a little funny.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
A blush appeared on Chen Tieshan's face, but because his skin color was darker, the blush was not very obvious.
It's so embarrassing to let my sister laugh at me.
He lowered his voice and begged for mercy: "Honghong, I was wrong. Can you please save some face in front of our sister?"
"Humph, you're the only one who still has any shame? Can't you see that couple is having a date? You're just standing here like a wooden stake. What are you? Do you still have any shame?"
Before Chen Tieshan could respond, he was dragged out by his ears.
"Girls, take your time eating, your brother Chen is treating you."
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaohong left a word and dragged the person away.
Zhou Cheng silently watched the two people leave, then his eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's smiling mouth. He whispered, "Comrade Su, if you are willing to be my partner, I can do that too."
What can I do?
Su Xiaoxiao was a little confused, but she quickly realized that he was probably talking about twisting ears.
She didn't have a hobby of twisting people's ears, but it just looked quite amusing.
The food was served quickly, including pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, meat stewed with potatoes, and sweet and sour fish, all of which were staple dishes.
It seems that I should thank Brother Chen and Sister Hong when I have the chance.
"Comrade Su, you eat first, I'll be back soon."
Zhou Cheng suddenly spoke, and Su Xiaoxiao just thought he was going to the bathroom, so she didn't think much about it and nodded.
Anyway, she wasn't very hungry now, so she could wait for someone to come back and eat.
She took out a duck neck and tore open the package.
I saw the person in front of me stand up, but instead of going to the public toilet outside, he walked directly to the ticket window and said something to the staff at the window.
In this era, eating was not like modern times, where you pay the bill after eating. Instead, you go to the designated window to pay and buy meal coupons before eating.
Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Cheng take out a stack of bills and give it to the staff before coming back.
When the person sat down in front of her again, she couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zhou, what were you doing just now?"
Zhou Cheng explained what had just happened without hiding anything. It turned out that he went to find a staff member and asked them to help return the money and bills that Chen Tieshan had paid to Zhang Xiaohong when she came back.
He wanted to treat Comrade Su to this meal, so it didn't make sense for him to let someone else treat him.
Su Xiaoxiao had almost guessed it. Never mind. She still had to repay the favor. One thing at a time.
After the explanation, Zhou Cheng didn't know what topic to talk about next for a moment. The main reason was that he had never had the opportunity to be alone with a female comrade before. Usually, he just trained and practiced.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Su Xiaoxiao touched her nose, not knowing what topic to start with.
At this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind her.
