This suddenly made him have some different ideas about the lunch.
"Hey," he sighed deliberately with a gloomy face, "Let's put this aside for now. How are you guys doing lately? Is there a chance to stay in the city?"
Hearing this, Lu Yan immediately became worried.
"The day before yesterday, the factory office came to our house again to mobilize us. I'm afraid I can't escape it!"
Chen Beilei thought about her demotion and lost interest in She Meihua's affairs.
"I'm afraid I'll have to go south by July at the latest," she said, glancing at Zhang Hongcheng enviously. "We don't have a father who was a martyr in our family. If they want me to stay, my parents will have to retire early. But I still have two younger siblings to support..."
Lu Yan shared the same sentiment: "Even if my parents retired, we'd only be making apprentice wages, which wouldn't be enough to support our family. So... we had no choice but to respond to the call to build a new countryside."
Zhang Hongcheng pretended to be surprised: "Leaving in July, so soon?"
Chen Beilei didn't answer gloomily. Lu Yan lowered her voice and said, "It's still relatively late for July to leave. You still remember Guo Tao from our class. He's taking the train to Sichuan tomorrow."
"Ma Hongying and Shi Qianjin will also leave the day after tomorrow."
"Shi Qianjin?" Zhang Hongcheng seemed to remember something, and he subconsciously glanced at Chen Beilei.
Chen Beilei knew what Zhang Hongcheng was thinking.
She bit her lip and said, "They are going to Banna. I'm probably going to Leizhou, but he said he would wait for me."
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Zhang Hongcheng deliberately raised his voice.
"It seems like all of us old classmates will be going our separate ways soon. I thought, why don't we get together today to say goodbye to Lao Guo and Shi Qianjin?"
Chen Beilei and Lu Yan looked at each other awkwardly. Although they were somewhat tempted, they were still hesitant.
Zhang Hongcheng knew that they were considering the cost issue.
No one is rich these days, and every penny is spent frugally, especially when they are about to leave home.
"I think we shouldn't eat in our own factory cafeteria. We have too many acquaintances here and it's hard to talk to them. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant east of the county town. I'll treat you to this meal!"
Zhang Hongcheng patted his pocket proudly.
"I'll stay at the base camp for you, so this thing will definitely be mine!"
When Lu Yan heard that it was Zhang Hongcheng who was treating her, she immediately nodded happily.
When Chen Beilei heard that it was a state-owned restaurant outside the factory, her mind became active.
She really had a lot to say to Shi Qianjin, and she needed a place where there weren't many acquaintances around.
There is a state-owned restaurant outside the factory, with only a few high school classmates who know each other well. The environment is just right...
"I think it's 11:30 today. I'll go order first!"
Zhang Hongcheng took out a big unity card and shook it, and the two female classmates' eyes immediately lit up.
