Chapter 209 A Scheming Girl
It was already past noon. I saw the state-owned restaurant across the street and my stomach started to growl.
I was thinking of having a meal while heading to the station to catch the bus.
After she went in, she ordered a bowl of roast pork noodles, which cost her three taels of food coupons, or thirty-eight cents. After paying the coupons, she waited for the noodles to be served. After all, in those days, self-reliance was the key.
I walked to a table in the corner and sat down, thinking how quiet it was here.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a conversation coming from behind the pillar: "Xiao Ya, your vacation is almost over, have you found your partner yet?"
"Don't mention it. I haven't seen anyone yet."
"What's going on? Didn't they say your cousin is that man's sister-in-law?"
"My cousin said that he has a boyfriend."
"What, are you a step late?"
"I guess so. My cousin said before that he didn't have a girlfriend, but now that I'm on vacation, he said he has a girlfriend. Do you think he did that on purpose?"
"That's hard to say. After all, you stopped him halfway in the army before. Do you think he knew that the person your cousin introduced was you, so he rejected him?"
"I don't think I know."
"Didn't you say that the person was nearby? We've been here for a while, but we haven't seen any trace of him."
"Isn't he gone?"
"Definitely not. Their car is still parked over there."
"How about we wait a little longer?"
"Don't forget that we promised Sister Lianhua to pick up Yu Rao. If we wait any longer, we may not be able to make it in time."
"How about we split up and Xiaoya and I will continue to wait here, while Weifang and Haizhen go to pick up Yurao. This way we won't be late for our return to the team."
Mao Weifang and Zhang Haizhen looked at each other and thought it was a good idea: "Okay, let's do as Yanru said."
As they spoke, they both stood up with their belongings. "Shall we meet here later, or go to the station?"
Then the girl who had spoken before said, "Meet us at the station. If you can't wait for us by then, just take the train and leave. Remember to cover for us then."
After saying goodbye, the two girls stood up and left.
Chu Xue listened to her conversation and sighed in her heart: Aren’t men and women these days said to be very reserved? Why do they feel even bolder than in later generations?
Before she could figure it out, she heard the waiter shout, "The roast pork noodles are ready, come and serve them."
Chuxue quickly stood up and brought the noodles over.
Just by smelling it, you know it must be delicious and it's so delicious.
I sat down in my previous seat, stirred the food a few times and was about to start eating when I heard another voice from behind the pillar: "Why don't you let them meet up here?"
"You are stupid. If you are lucky enough to catch someone, you can just take the jeep back. If everyone comes, the jeep won't have enough space. Who will get on and who will stay?"
"That's right, Yanru, you are smart. But if we really hitchhike back to the military area, Weifang and Haizhen won't be angry with us, right?"
"Don't forget why we came here today. We are all good sisters, they will understand."
Chuxue swallowed the noodles in her mouth: Listen to what she said, she is definitely a scheming woman.
She was able to trick the three of them all by herself, and they still had to praise her for being smart and saying that women were really amazing.
The little girl was so touched: "Yanru, thank you. If you hadn't given me some advice, I wouldn't know what to do."
"You've helped me a lot since I joined the Communications Company. It's my duty to help you. Besides, we are friends. If you treat me as a friend, please stop saying these alienating words."
