Ruan Mengmeng, who grew up in an orphanage, and her good best friend Zhang Xinxin are a pair of childhood friends who grew up together.
Despite their different personalities, the two girls re...
Soldiers are rarely picky about food, and Zhang Sinian is no exception.
Sometimes, when we take on a difficult task, we have to lie there for days and nights without eating or drinking, and even eat insects, cockroaches, and rats.
What can a grown man choose? It’s good enough to have something to eat. Why does he need a bicycle?
"What about you, little brother?"
Seeing Ruan Zilong walking behind with his head down and not saying a word, Ruan Mengmeng asked again.
"Sister, I'm not picky about food, anything is fine!"
Ruan Zilong replied with a smile.
In his eyes, girls are the ones who need to be loved and cared for.
He is a man and he should learn to take care of his sister when he grows up.
Ruan Mengmeng didn't know what he was thinking, so she just nodded slightly.
He pointed to a table not far away and told Zhang Xinxin and the others;
"You guys go sit in that empty seat first, I'll go take the order!"
"Okay, be careful. Don't order too much. It will be a waste if you can't finish it!"
Zhang Xinxin was like a happy little bird at this moment, chirping as she walked towards the empty table inside.
Ruan Zilong and Tian Kai followed.
Only Zhang Sinian stood there and didn't leave, which made Ruan Mengmeng puzzled;
“How did you…?”
Why don’t you go over and sit and wait for me, is what she wanted to ask.
Zhang Sinian did not answer her question, but glanced at the counter window for taking orders.
Then he walked towards there, leaving behind a sentence before leaving;
"Come on, I'll go with you!"
With so many people eating, how could he bear to let Ruan Mengmeng, a girl, run back and forth and pay for it?
No matter whether he fell in love with this girl or his sister had a good relationship with her, he would not let her pay.
Besides, he and Tian Kai are two grown men who have big appetites and eat a lot, so why would they let a little girl pay for their meal?
"It's really weird!"
Ruan Mengmeng was completely confused and bewildered. Could it be that this guy was afraid that he couldn't afford the money?
Or are you afraid that you ordered too much and won’t be able to carry it back?
No matter what Ruan Mengmeng thought, she could not hinder Zhang Sinian's steps.
Forget it, don’t think too much about it. If he wants to pay, let him pay!
I calculated the amount and gave one piece to my best friend Zhang Xinxin.
After figuring this out, she felt much more relaxed and no longer worried about who was taking advantage of whom.
When Ruan Mengmeng approached the queue, there were only two people left in front of Zhang Sinian.
"Do you like fish?"
Zhang Sinian looked up at the menu on the sign and suddenly asked this question.
"ah?"
Ruan Mengmeng was stunned for a moment by this question. When she came to her senses, she felt a little annoyed. What was she thinking about?
"Okay, just don't make it too spicy. Zilong can't eat spicy food!"
She replied a little embarrassedly.
"Um!"
Seeing her distracted look, a little silly and cute, Zhang Sinian couldn't help but stare at her secretly several times.
But when Ruan Mengmeng turned her head, he immediately pretended to be serious.
No one would have thought, let alone suspected, that such a serious and cold person would secretly peek at a little girl.
"Do you prefer rice or noodles as your staple food?"
After the person in front left, it was her and Zhang Sinian's turn.
"Eat rice!"
It seems that he wants to order fish and meat or something like that. It would be a shame not to eat such delicious dishes with rice.
"Um!"
Still a one-word reply.
After he said that, he started taking money and tickets out of his pocket.
Ruan Mengmeng looked up at him this time.
Why does this person talk so little?
Is it because he feels that he is a girl and we are not familiar with each other?
At this moment, she vaguely remembered the pair of red bean paste rubber shoes he bought.
I wonder what kind of partner a man like this would have?
How can the girl tolerate him not saying a word for such a long time?
Shaking her head, Ruan Mengmeng felt that her thoughts had gone astray.
Whether others can bear it or not is none of her business. Oh! Really, she is worrying about nothing!
Shaking off the messy thoughts that shouldn't have come up, Ruan Mengmeng looked toward the window.
The person collecting the money was a man in his thirties.
Holding a notebook in his hand, he wrote and drew while constantly urging the kitchen to prepare the meal quickly.
There are still many customers waiting outside!
"One serving of braised fish, one serving of braised pork, cabbage and tofu, braised lion's head, braised eggplant, one serving of small greens, and five servings of rice. That's all!"
Zhang Sinian ordered the food he wanted in one breath.
"OK!"
The man took the money handed over by Zhang Sinian, without even looking up, and said;
"Find a seat and wait. I'll call you when I'm ready!"
"Can you finish it?"
Ruan Mengmeng felt a little worried when she saw him order so many dishes at once.
Waste is not tolerated these days. If you can’t finish the food, you have to pack it up and take it away, which is really troublesome.
"Don't worry, I can finish it!"
If they can’t finish the food, there are two grown men, him and Tian Kai, so there is no need to worry.
After the food was slowly prepared, Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai took the initiative to bring up all the food without asking the two girls to help.
Just as I picked up my chopsticks and hadn't started eating, Xia Xiaojing's voice came from outside the door;
"Mengmeng, you guys are really fast, you've already eaten!"
Following behind were other educated youth, who ran around with a lot of newly bought things in their hands.
"Well, when we arrived, we didn't see you guys, so we came in first!"
"Wow, their braised pork looks delicious, I want some too!"
Xia Xiaojing stared at the braised pork on the table, her eyes sparkling.
Ruan Mengmeng laughed inwardly, he is really a foodie.
Xiao Yan, who was standing by, just glanced at the people at the table, then turned around and walked towards the counter.
She was hungry after running all morning.
The others didn't stay long and went to the counter.
Food and drink are quite precious these days, and besides, we are not familiar with each other.
No one dared to be so shameless as to ask to eat together.
Although Ruan Mengmeng had a good relationship with Xia Xiaojing, the meal was paid for by Zhang Sinian, so she didn't feel comfortable asking for anyone to eat with her.
"Finally, I can eat! I'm starving!"
Zhang Xinxin no longer paid attention to the educated youth he didn't know, turned his head and sighed.
She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth to savor it carefully, her eyes narrowed slightly with a look of enjoyment;
“Hmm…delicious…”
Ruan Mengmeng also picked up a piece of fish and put it into Ruan Zilong's bowl, shaking her head and laughing;
"It's delicious, just eat more!"
Zhang Sinian and the other two grown men tried their best to eat the fattier meat, the fish head and the fish tail, leaving the better meat for Ruan Mengmeng and the other two.
Ruan Mengmeng and Zhang Xinxin had already seen it.
But no matter how much they persuaded them, they both just nodded in agreement, but their hands continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Helplessly, Zhang Xinxin and the other person didn't say anything more and just let them do whatever they wanted!
