Feng Mian said casually: "My father was an educated youth who went to the countryside. He taught. When my mother was alive, she also sent me to school. I even went to junior high school."
That’s all I can say.
The market in those days was not like that in the later days in the city. The peak period of the market was during certain time periods and everyone was in a hurry. Some people who lived far away from the county town went out before dawn.
Generally, from around seven o'clock onwards, by eleven o'clock in the morning, there are few people on the streets.
During peak hours, it lasts from 8 to 93 hours.
By eleven o'clock there were not many people left, so Feng Mian closed the stall. After counting, I found that I sold more than 200 pairs, earning more than 40 yuan.
She took out a dollar and stuffed it into Gu Yuelin's hand, "Help me collect the debts, and I'll pay you."
Gu Yuelin refused to accept it, "I came here at almost nine o'clock, so I didn't help much."
After saying that, he stuffed a hot steamed bun into his hand.
He stuffed the bun into his clothes and it was still warm after two hours.
Feng Mian was a little surprised, and had a strange feeling in his heart.
"Why are you giving me a bun?" She regretted asking the question the moment she asked it. Why did she become so slow? After all, if someone stuffs a bun into your hand, what else can you do except eat it?
"Eat, you must not have eaten yet?"
Let's go.
Feng Mian broke open the bun and found it still filled with meat, which was really rare.
She broke it in half and gave the remaining half back to him.
"I want to go to a restaurant to eat. I'll save some space and eat half a pad first."
Gu Yuelin held the other half of the bun, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Feng Mian raised the dollar and said, "Since you don't want wages, I'll use this dollar to treat you to a meal."
"Ah?" Gu Yuelin's expression became even weirder. "No need for that."
"It's okay, it's okay. I just have something to tell you."
She had already packed her things and ran to the state-owned restaurant.
To discuss cooperative marriage, which is such a big business, we should go to the restaurant.
After some hesitation, Gu Yuelin followed.
The restaurant was really not that good at that time. It was a bit like the rural banquet scenes she had seen in TV dramas.
It was a large room filled with square tables with no shelter between them. There were a lot of smokers, and almost all the people who came here to eat were men.
Decoration is equivalent to no decoration.
The ground was made of cement, and the wall was a big concrete wall.
You have to be careful when sitting, don't sit close to the wall, or you will get covered in dust.
It was past eleven o'clock and there were still a few empty tables, so Feng Mian chose the table in the corner.
The waitress was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She looked at the two of them and guessed that they were just dating and brought their girlfriends to pretend to be rich. Who knew who this spendthrift was?
Her attitude was not very good, so she said it in advance.
“It’s not cheap to eat here.”
"We know. Please bring the menu here." Feng Mian said with a smile.
If it were a dozen years later, she would definitely complain to the waiter about this attitude.
But the situation is different now. In the planned economy era, materials were in short supply and sellers were in a market.
To be able to work as a waiter in a state-owned restaurant, you have to have connections. That's called a waiter, and it's very respectable.
If you have a bad attitude when you come to eat, they will kick you out.
At that time, there were no business licenses for individual businesses, and individuals were not allowed to open shops, so the only way to eat out was to go to state-owned restaurants.
Their county town is quite big, and there are only two state-owned restaurants.
"Here's the menu. Can you read? I'll read it to you."
Gu Yuelin said: "I can read and write. I went to high school."
The other party was a little surprised, looked at him twice, and threw the menu in front of him.
"Just write it down when you've ordered it."
"Okay, thank you."
