"What do you want to eat?"
"Do you have any recommendations?"
Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "There's a veterans' restaurant that's delicious. The chef there was the squad leader of the kitchen squad when I was a teenager and just joined the army. Do you want to try it?"
"Can!"
The location of the Veteran Restaurant is in an alley opposite a high school. It would be difficult to find if you are not a regular customer.
It is a simple storefront with eight tables. Although the store is not big, there are many customers, and they are all regular customers.
When the proprietress saw Lu Zheng and Su Jianwei coming, she said in surprise: "Xiao Lu, is this your girlfriend?"
Lu Zheng protected Su Jianwei in front of him and said politely, "Sister-in-law, this is my wife."
"ah?"
"You're married!" The proprietress's surprise was so loud that even the chef who was cooking in the back stuck his head out.
"Xiao Lu."
Lu Zheng nodded to the master chef.
"When did you get married? When I saw you last month, you didn't have a girlfriend!" There was a hint of regret in the proprietress's voice.
She originally wanted to be a matchmaker for Lu Zheng!
However, she glanced at the beautiful young girl standing next to Lu Zheng and suddenly felt fortunate that she had not mentioned it.
"We got married yesterday."
"yesterday!"
"So today you..." The proprietress hesitated to speak.
It’s only the first day of our marriage, how can we bring our new wife to this small restaurant for dinner?
No matter what the proprietress thought, Lu Zheng took Su Jianwei to find a table and sit down.
After Lu Zheng sat down, he pushed the menu in front of Su Jianwei. Su Jianwei looked at the menu and said, "I want a plate of Northeastern large rice noodles, dry pot cauliflower, and large plate chicken."
After saying that, she looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Pick a few more."
"Then have another plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with peppers, and meatball soup."
After ordering, Lu Zheng said to Su Jianwei, "Team Leader Yang is a native of Shandong Province, and his Shandong cuisine is very authentic."
He remembered that Su Jianwei and her mother grew up in Lu Province.
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
After all the dishes were served, Lu Zheng ordered five big soft steamed buns.
This time, Su Jianwei did not hide her appetite in front of Lu Zheng. In addition, the dishes cooked by Squad Leader Yang were particularly delicious, so Su Jianwei ate two steamed buns in total.
Lu Zheng only ate four.
The proprietress stared at Su Jianwei's small body in amazement. The women who came to eat would only eat one at most. How could she, who was so thin, squeeze in two big steamed buns?
"Aren't you feeling overwhelmed?"
There were not many customers in the store at this time. The proprietress was sitting at a table nearby, counting the bill while speaking to Su Jianwei.
Su Jianwei didn't feel offended by her, but said, "I have a big appetite."
The proprietress nodded. Her appetite was almost as much as that of a grown man.
Their steamed buns are of unusual size, but some people do have big appetites.
Lu Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Jianwei's behavior. He said, "Being able to eat is a blessing."
Su Jianwei raised the corner of his mouth, somewhat satisfied with Lu Zheng's attitude.
The boss and his wife did not ask for money for the meal. When Lu Zheng left, he took two wedding gifts and placed them on the table in the store.
After Lu Zheng and Su Jianwei left, the proprietress opened the gift and immediately called out towards the kitchen, "Old Yang!"
"What's wrong!"
"Do you know what this Xiao Lu family does?"
"What's wrong?"
"This gift is too generous."
The two gifts are different. Although both contain wedding candies and wedding cakes, one contains a bottle of wine and the other contains a skin care product.
The lady boss held up the skincare product and said, "I gritted my teeth and refused to buy this set of skincare products, and now someone just casually gave it to me."
Squad Leader Yang came over, took a look and said, "Just keep it if I give it to you."
The boss lady, holding the cosmetics, nudged her husband's arm and said, "Honestly, who is this Xiao Lu? I see he and his wife are dressed nicely!"
She had asked before, but this wooden guy just hesitated and didn't say anything.
"What does their background have to do with you? Let's settle the score quickly."
He didn’t say it before, and Squad Leader Yang didn’t say it this time either.
…
According to tradition, the bride returns to her parents' home after three days, but that night Su Jianwei went back to Zhou's house to find Lin Yulan, and it was Lu Zheng who personally sent Su Jianwei back.
After Lu Zheng sent Su Jianwei off, he went out to do some work. Su Jianwei hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mom, how are you?"
Lin Yulan did not answer Su Jianwei's question immediately, but looked Su Jianwei up and down, left and right.
Seeing how worried she was, Su Jianwei turned around in front of her and said, "I'm fine!"
After that, she continued, "How's the house purchase going?"
Seeing that Su Jianwei was in good condition, Lin Yulan said, "I originally wanted to go by myself, but your grandma said that if we want to buy a courtyard house, it won't be easy without connections."
Su Jianwei frowned slightly. Were courtyard houses already so in short supply in the 1990s?
"And your grandmother said that your dowry included a manor in the suburbs of Beijing and several houses, not including the betrothal gifts, so she asked you why you wanted to buy a courtyard house."
"You can never have too many houses." Especially a house in the capital. "So what did you say to grandma?"
"I just said I wanted to buy it."
She didn't make any excuses, nor did she want to lie to Rong Wanting.
"Then what?"
"Then your grandma said I had a head for investment and took me to see three yards and bought them all."
