"There's mutton today?" Song Jiayu looked at the large piece of mutton on the table, along with the mutton ribs and a leg of mutton, thinking that they would all be delicious.
"Yes, I heard that our purchasing section chief had a fight with someone. He even cursed after stealing something, saying that those guys from the steel mill were like dogs seeing a bone and they were snatching it so fiercely!" Aunt Fat whispered. As a gossip girl in the state-owned restaurant, she knew a lot of things, not only about the people in the restaurant, but also about the regular customers who often came to the hotel lobby to eat.
For example, a middle-aged man and woman eating at a table at noon.
Still an acquaintance.
[1. A familiar couple will appear in a state-owned restaurant. Their love-hate relationship is so moving that it's worth thanking them. If you're not sure which couple you're seeing, asking Auntie Pang might be helpful.]
Task 1 just appeared this morning, and it was pointed out by Aunt Fat?
"Look, I'm not very familiar with the woman at that table, but everyone calls her sister-in-law. This month, she has come to our restaurant to eat with different men for the fifth time. By the way, every time, those men pay for the meal and take some food home." Aunt Fat muttered softly.
Song Jiayu looked at Qian Zhuangshi from the old Qian family in the compound and felt like she didn't know what to say. There was a big commotion in the old Qian family last night. Uncle Qian desperately asked Aunt Zhou for money and tickets. His reason was so legitimate that he could get job news by treating people to a meal.
My sister-in-law brought me work news? Who are you kidding?
"But those men are willing to do so. I also heard that this sister-in-law's husband died and she has to live with her children alone. She must find a reliable man to live with." Aunt Fat continued.
"That's right. The few people I found to treat me to a meal were either aggressive or fiddly. They all just wanted to have fun and didn't want to take responsibility."
As Aunt Pang finished her words, Qian Zhuangshi at the dinner table plucked up the courage to hold his sister-in-law's hand, and kept saying how much he missed her these days.
"Lotus, I haven't seen you for a few days. My heart is like the snow in June, so cold. Only seeing you can melt it."
"Zhuangshi, today I..."
"Lotus, don't talk first. Let me speak first. My life has been getting worse and worse since I injured my leg and lost my job. The evil woman at home doesn't give me any way to survive. I am only happy when I see you."
"No, I'll do it..."
"Woo woo, they say men bleed but don't cry, but when a man is heartbroken, how can he not cry? Lotus, I want to be with you so much."
The woman called Lotus couldn't help herself. She interrupted Qian Zhuangshi and said, "Qian Zhuangshi, I'm here to break up with you today. We are not suitable. Don't come to me again in the future!"
"What???"
Suddenly, his head felt like it was collapsing. Qian Zhuangshi looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief and asked, "What are you talking about? Did I hear it wrong?"
"No messenger, Qian Zhuangshi. I fell in love with you because you worked at the steel mill and could support me and my child. But now you're unemployed and idle all day. If I really follow you, won't my child and I starve? Can you please be considerate of me?"
"No!"
Qian Zhuangshi held Lianhua's hand tightly.
"I argued with the tigress at home for you, and I spent all my savings on you. How can you just say you don't want me anymore?"
After watching the play to this point, Song Jiayu felt that it was better than Aunt Qiong Yao's dramas and was full of true feelings.
I also shared a handful of melon seeds with Aunt Pang, and the two of them chatted in low voices.
Auntie Fat: "Xiao Song, just wait and see, Sister Lotus will definitely cry next."
Xiao Song: "How do you know?"
Auntie Fat: "This is the third time this month. It's nothing more than a resolute breakup, followed by crying that makes people feel distressed."
Xiao Song: "Looking forward to the next theater."
Sure enough, it was just as Aunt Fat said.
Lotus did not struggle, but her eyes turned red and tears fell. She cried like a pear blossom with tears in her eyes, which made people feel pity for her. It made people wonder if she had practiced it.
Qian Zhuangshi felt distressed by Lianhua crying silently. He let go of Lianhua's hand and comforted her clumsily: "Lianhua, don't cry. I don't mean to force you. It's my fault. I was wrong."
"Wuwuwuwu, Qian Zhuangshi, do you think I'm a fickle woman? Ever since my husband died, I've brought my two children to live with my husband's brother, your coworker. His wife can't stand me being at home, so I have to take the children with me. I have to find someone reliable, otherwise what can I do? Watch my children starve to death before my eyes?"
Qian Zhuangshi felt even more distressed by her crying. He also felt that he was useless and said, "Lotus, it's me who is useless. Don't cry. Let's part ways amicably. You can take your two children and find a reliable man to live a good life with."
"Zhuangshi, you have to understand that I have you in my heart."
At the entrance of the state-owned restaurant, the two were still reluctant to leave. After hearing Lianhua's words, Qian Zhuangshi felt that it was worth it and responded: "Lianhua, you will always be in my heart!"
My partner who followed me all the way to watch the show and eat melon seeds: ? ? !
Aunt Fat: "This man is so useless!"
Xiao Song: "It's really useless. Are you being cheated?"
Auntie Fatty: "I've already fooled three people. I wonder which unlucky guy will be the fourth one."
Xiao Song: “Who knows~”
The two were still eating melon seeds. The "crunching" sound and the eager look in their eyes made Chef Xu, who was nowhere to be found in the kitchen, come out.
"Does it look good?"
A sudden question came from behind the two of them.
Auntie Fat: "Xiao Song, I have goosebumps. Why does it feel eerie behind me?"
Xiao Song: "Me too."
Turning around, they saw that it was Chef Xu, and both of them seemed relieved.
Song Jiayu looked relieved that it wasn't a ghost. She patted Chef Xu on the shoulder and said, "Thank goodness it was you, Chef Xu. I thought it was something unclean. It was so scary."
After saying that, he ran away, saying thank you but I’m leaving first.
Aunt Fat opened her mouth. It turned out that this was possible. She learned it, learned it, and said gratefully: "Chef Xu, thank you so much for being here. That gloomy feeling is gone."
Then the man ran away in front of Chef Xu.
Chef Xu felt like he was being fooled and his mood took a turn for the worse.
He immediately chased after them and yelled, "Not only are you two lazy, you're also cheating me. Wait, don't leave."
Song Jiayu's pace became faster, and she slid and slid. Aunt Pang also slid and slid as if she was running in a race.
Wait until Chef Xu catches up to the kitchen.
Aunt Pang was washing dishes by the sink, and Song Jiayu was cutting vegetables and practicing her knife skills. Both of them looked much more serious than little Liu Dafeng, and it seemed that they were the two working the hardest.
Chef Xu: ...
What a fucking sin!
