Chapter 143 A Tacit Understanding



Secretary Du's nickname is "Myna".

This was not only because he was the eighth child in his family, but also because he was very eloquent.

And like women, they enjoy gossiping.

Although he has toned down his glib tongue a lot since becoming a township official.

But what if you encounter something unrelated to work?

I still can't resist the urge to gossip.

Guan Yuxi had suffered greatly from this before.

Every time she went to see her grandfather, Secretary Du would drag her into a long, rambling conversation.

It made her dizzy.

Guan Yuxi felt somewhat sentimental.

My grandfather passed away more than half a year ago.

She always felt as if he was still by her side.

You never know when he might suddenly jump in front of her.

Leng Lie took her hand, bent down, and carried her on his back.

"don't want......"

Guan Yuxi's rejection was a beat too late and seemed insincere.

She let him have his way.

What would you like to eat?

"Never mind, let's not eat it..."

How embarrassing would it be if I ran into Secretary Du!

Leng Lie lifted her up a bit, "How can that be?"

He doesn't have to eat.

But he couldn't bear to let her go hungry.

Guan Yuxi lay weakly on his back.

"I haven't digested that steamed bun yet."

If only I had a car...

She can then have a nice nap in the car.

Besides, the food in restaurants is just a little meat and a bit too salty.

There's no hot pot, no barbecue, and not even maocai (a type of Sichuan street food).

Her appetite had plummeted.

If it weren't for Leng Lie forcing her to eat every meal...

Guan Yuxi felt that she could fast indefinitely.

Leng Lie, however, did not listen to her.

They carried her directly into the state-run restaurant.

"Huh? Didn't I say I wasn't going to eat it?"

Guan Yuxi's eyelids were so heavy that she was about to fall asleep when Leng Lie placed her on a chair in the hotel.

Leng Lie let her lean against him and pinched her nose.

"I'll help you shake off your sleepiness."

Guan Yuxi narrowed her eyes and pushed his hand away. "Stop fooling around, I'm going to sleep for a while."

Suddenly, there was a "snap".

A plate of food was slammed onto the table by the waiter.

Bright red slices of cold pig's ear were scattered all over the table.

The flavors are a blend of sesame oil, chili oil, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar.

This gave Guan Yuxi a much-needed boost.

However, she immediately became unhappy when she saw the half-spoiled food on the table.

"Let's get a fresh plate."

The person serving the food was a middle-aged woman with a gaunt appearance.

Upon hearing this, his eyes widened immediately, and he put his hands on his hips, saying, "The dishes have already been served, why change them?"

Guan Yuxi laughed in exasperation, pointing at the table and saying, "You threw the plate right on the table, and you still think you're right?"

Not only did it scare away her from her drowsiness, but it also...

It even ruined her appetite, which she had finally managed to get back.

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes so hard they reached the ceiling.

He scoffed, "You stinking pauper! What are you showing off in the city for?"

A man and a woman, all sticking together like conjoined twins, don't look like good people at all.

What else do you want me to do to you?

Leng Lie was just picking up his chopsticks to put the ear pieces back on the plate.

Upon hearing this, he slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang".

He exuded a menacing aura as he coldly stared at the middle-aged woman. "Apologize!"

The middle-aged woman's lips twitched slightly.

He glared back angrily, then quickly stepped forward and took the cold pig ear salad in his hands.

"Eat it or don't, it's up to you!"

"If you're not going to eat, then pay the bill and get out."

this......

Isn't that a bit too arrogant?

Guan Yuxi was stunned by her question, "Brother Lie, do we have a grudge against her?"

This attitude is probably something you only have when dealing with an enemy.

Leng Lie narrowed his eyes and looked at Guan Yuxi's clothes.

His voice was low and somber: "She thinks we're poor and that we can't afford to pay..."

Guan Yuxi knew that in the 1970s, people with formal jobs had a great sense of superiority.

Unexpectedly, even a restaurant waiter was so arrogant?

What's even more infuriating is that the middle-aged woman had a "you're right" look on her face, smiling at Leng Lie with agreement.

Incidentally, he also rolled his eyes at Guan Yuxi.

Hmm, that's weird!

They disliked them for being poor and stingy, and they disliked them for having ambiguous relationships that were shameful.

Why specifically target her?

This inexplicable, embarrassing "competition among females"...

Or perhaps it's a model of friendship with the opposite sex?

Guan Yuxi threw a ten-yuan note onto the table, "Bring me another one!"

The middle-aged woman deflated.

Carrying the plate back, eating as she walked, she thought, "So what if you have money?"

"I'm not going to serve you. Go wherever you want."

As she walked, she quickly scooped a piece of ear from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shouldn't you see a neurologist?

Guan Yuxi sighed and urged Leng Lie to hurry up and leave, "Forget it, it seems we really shouldn't have eaten today."

Unexpectedly, the two had just reached the door.

He was stopped by a loud shout from a middle-aged woman, "Hey, you think you can just leave without paying for your meal?"

Guan Yuxi: "......"

This is outrageous! People who are shameless are truly invincible!

However, this is also a good opportunity to reassure the owner of the "crafts" business.

She stopped Leng Lie and chuckled, "What did we eat?"

"Red oil ear fungus!"

The middle-aged woman raised the plate in her hand.

As if unable to resist the temptation, he picked up another piece of ear and ate it while talking.
