Cheng Jiawen looked up from the newspaper and heard Jiang Ziwen's words. Although he wanted to agree as a matter of course, he actually couldn't.
He smiled faintly, "How can I let you treat me? Today is my first day at work, so I'll treat you if I have to."
Jiang Ziwen patted his shoulder vigorously, "Well, don't you think of me as a brother? I said treat, so I treat you. How about this, I'll treat you this time, and you can treat me next time, okay?"
Seeing his sincere look, Cheng Jiawen didn't hesitate any longer. "Okay, then you treat me this time, and I'll treat you next time."
Jiang Ziwen would never know that the 'next time' Cheng Jiawen was talking about was actually a next time that was far away.
In addition to Jiang Ziwen and Cheng Jiawen, there were also Officer Liu, Officer Xiaofan, and Officer Xiaochen who went to have lunch together. They walked to the carport at the door together and prepared to ride their bicycles to the state-owned restaurant.
Everyone walked to the door, pushing their own bicycles. When Officer Jiang Ziwen and Officer Chen saw Cheng Jiawen's bicycle, they inevitably showed expressions of surprise and disgust, as Officer Liu had seen the same bicycle in the morning.
They quickly retracted their expressions, and Jiang Ziwen said awkwardly: "Ahem, Jiawen, your bicycle is quite unique."
"Luckily, I didn't agree to Cheng Jiawen's treat just now, otherwise treating them to a meal would have cost him several months' worth of money."
There are relatively few opportunities to make money in rural areas, and one can only earn a few dozen or a hundred yuan a year. If you spend a few yuan to treat them to a meal, it is equivalent to spending their monthly money.
They were so embarrassed. Fortunately, I insisted on treating myself. Fortunately, fortunately.
Jiang Ziwen glanced at Cheng Jiawen calmly, and felt relieved when he saw that Cheng Jiawen did not show any embarrassment. He could not help but be thankful for his wit just now, and did not show any inappropriate expression in front of others.
Cheng Jiawen glanced at him and couldn't help laughing in his heart: Jiang Ziwen really shows everything on his face. You can tell what he is thinking just by looking at his expression.
He smiled faintly, and said awkwardly in the initiative section: "Hahaha, many people say so. My aesthetic taste is okay, right?"
An unintentional joke was like a breeze that blew away the slightly awkward atmosphere, making the atmosphere on the scene much more relaxed.
As if by telepathy, everyone tacitly avoided the slightly sensitive topic and started talking about work-related matters instead.
In this way, they walked and talked, and before they knew it, they rode their bicycles to the door of the famous state-owned restaurant.
-------------------------------------
In a state-owned restaurant whose decoration was slightly old-fashioned but neat and clean, they sat around a square table, enjoying delicious food and chatting happily.
The sunlight outside the window shines through the mottled leaves onto the ground, forming patches of light and shadow, as if adding a sense of warmth and tranquility to the entire space.
The table was laden with a variety of special dishes, the aromas filling the air and mouth-watering. Each dish was meticulously prepared, each one beautiful in appearance, aroma, and flavor. As they savored these delicacies, savoring their unique flavors and textures, they shared stories, experiences, and insights into life.
Sometimes there are bursts of laughter because an interesting topic resonates with everyone; sometimes people fall into deep thought, perhaps because a certain word touches the emotional strings deep in their hearts.
In this relaxed and harmonious environment, time seems to stand still, making people intoxicated and forget all worries and stress.
Suddenly, Officer Xiao Fan looked at the snow that had suddenly begun to fall outside the door and couldn't help but sigh, "This winter is really cold. It's been so long since the Chinese New Year, and the snow hasn't stopped yet. If it keeps falling like this, what are we going to do with our spring planting?"
Officer Xiaofan's parents also farm in the village, and he is a genuine farmer's son, so he is also very worried about the abnormal weather this year.
Although he found his job as a policeman with the help of his aunt, if he really encountered the worst situation, he should be able to survive it with his salary, but of course there is no best case scenario for this disaster.
Officer Liu looked at the snowflakes falling outside the door, and his heart sank. "It's really a bit unusual this year."
Suddenly, the man at the next table said to his companion, "Hey, the weather this year is very abnormal." Then, he looked left and right, and when he saw no one was around, he whispered to his companion, "I heard from the elders in my village that there might be a disaster this year."
"No way, the sun is shining every day. It's such nice weather, how could there be a disaster?" The man sitting next to him said half-doubtfully.
The man took a sip of tea and said, "Who knows? But, in my opinion, if possible, we should store more food."
His companion thought about it, nodded, and slowly said, "That's true. Anyway, the food can be stored anywhere. If possible, it would be good to buy more."
Hearing this, Cheng Jiawen and the others all had serious expressions on their faces. Officer Liu thought for a moment and said slowly, "We must patrol carefully these next few days. We must not let anything go wrong."
Since one person said this, others might also notice the abnormal weather. If everyone comes to the city to buy food, something might happen.
