After washing up, I dawdled and headed towards the state-run restaurant.

After standing at the door for a while, Ma Yiyuan, who had been hiding in some corner, finally arrived late.

"Brother Ma, what's wrong? I almost didn't recognize you."

Su Qingci was startled, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

Ma Yiyuan changed his outfit again today.

Even her overall skin tone was much darker than yesterday, and her eyebrows were thicker and heavier.

He was wearing a military green cap.

If the other person hadn't called out "Xiao Su," she might not have recognized them even if they had walked right past her.

Ma Yiyuan smiled gently, "Is it fresh?"

Su Qingci smiled radiantly, "This is so fresh, it scared the hell out of me!"

"That's amazing! Brother Ma is incredible. I'd never get tired of being with Brother Ma for decades."

"Every day it's Brother Ma, yet every day it's not Brother Ma, hahaha."

"Brother Ma, let's go inside and talk, the sun is so bright."

He pulled Ma Yiyuan into the state-run restaurant and rushed to the order window without saying a word.

Without hesitation, I ordered a dish of fresh pork with tofu, a braised pig's head, and a three-delicacy soup.

Then he opened his big eyes and looked at Ma Yiyuan, meaning, "Pay up."

Ma Yiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still obediently took out the grain coupons and money.

After finding a seat, I noticed that Ma Yiyuan's smile was forced.

Su Qingci recited another love poem to Ma Yiyuan.

They said a few nice things and praised him highly.

They continued to dream about the future, making grand promises.

Seeing that he was in a better mood, he stood up and shouted loudly at the order counter.

"Master, pack me 20 more big meat buns, I'll take them with me later."

Ma Yiyuan felt like the veins on his forehead were about to burst.

This big meat bun costs one cent plus two ounces of grain coupons.

Twenty of them would cost 2 yuan plus 4 jin of grain coupons.

She quickly grabbed Su Qingci, "Little Su, what are you doing?"

"In this hot weather, do you think you can finish twenty big meat buns?"

"It will spoil by the afternoon."

Su Qingci waved her hand dismissively, "I can finish it, I can finish it."

"I can eat."

"Brother Ma, I'm not asking for these 20 big meat buns for myself."

Su Qingci lowered her voice mysteriously, "I got my graduation certificate from Shangxiang."

"After we finish eating, I'll go home to get some things. We'll take these twenty meat buns with us on the way."
