Wang Qingli rolled her eyes. "Aunt Xu always gives you bad advice."
Wang Qinghong said to her, "Don't say that. Aunt Xu has good intentions, but she just hasn't seen the man's true face. Once she sees the truth, she will definitely stand on the side of the five beauties."
Xu Wumei laughed and said, "My mom always taught me everything she thought was right. I used to think everything she said was right. But, ever since I came back from training with everyone, I've become more intelligent! Hahaha."
Wang Qingli praised her, "You look great! We need to develop our own brains. After all, our own experience of life is what matters most. Let's go in first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Xu Wumei waved to everyone and watched Xie Yun and Wang Qingli walk in opposite directions, each heading to their own destinations. She was the only one standing there, waiting for someone she didn't know what she was talking about.

Xie Yun took Xie Shen into the state-owned restaurant, and the two went to look at the menu first.
At that time, state-owned restaurants only served a limited number of dishes every day, and the dishes were labeled according to the type of food they served.
First buy a meal ticket at the counter, then take the meal ticket to the pick-up window to pick up the meal.
The waitress who took the order was a woman in her thirties. She had a very stern attitude and didn't have the smiling service attitude of later generations, but she wasn't arrogant or domineering either. She was just ordinary and simple.
Xie Yun ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles, which cost 8 cents plus two taels of grain coupons. Without grain coupons, the price was 12 cents per bowl. She then ordered a serving of braised pork, which cost 50 cents. With the braised pork, you could also order two steamed buns, which didn't require grain coupons. However, if you ordered the buns alone, you would need to pay for them.
Fried dough sticks are not available now, so Xie Shen can’t eat them.
"anything else?"
Xie Shen shook his head, "No, I can't finish this."
The two of them took their meal tickets to the food pick-up window, lined up, and then found a seat to sit down.
Xie Shen carried a bag today with two lunch boxes in it. As soon as he sat down, he took out the lunch boxes and prepared to pack half a portion of braised pork to take home for Zhang Ruifeng.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "You eat first, and then buy another portion for Mom to take back. Since we're here, we need to eat something full. We still have to go shopping and walk back."
"good."
Xie Shen chuckled and started slurping the noodles.
Xie Yun put two pieces of meat into his bowl and said, "If it's not enough, eat the steamed buns."
Xie Shen also picked up two pieces for her, "Sister, you eat too."
"Um."
The bowl of noodles was very big, and the price of two taels of food coupons meant that the noodles were made of about two taels of dry flour.
After the noodles are cooked, add a spoonful of toppings. You can see the oil floating on the noodle soup, and it tastes very good.
Xie Yun and his friend ate up all the noodles and soup, and also ate the braised pork.
Then, they shared a steamed bun and ate it with the braised pork broth.
After dinner, both of them took out handkerchiefs from their pockets to wipe their mouths.
Xie Yun said to Xie Shen, "You sit here and wait. I'll go buy another portion of braised pork and bring it back to our mother."
"good."
Xie Yun bought two servings of braised pork and four steamed buns. After all, she now had two lunch boxes.
The weather is cold now, so it's fine to keep it for two or three days. You can also add some cabbage and radish to it and stew it at home.
When Xie Shen saw her bringing the dishes over, he immediately opened the lunch box, put two servings of braised pork in it, and then took out a homemade white cotton bag and put five steamed buns in it.
Xie Yun said to him, "Let's go out early tomorrow morning and have breakfast at the state-owned restaurant in the commune. They sell fried dough sticks there."
"Sister, I don't want to eat anymore. I've already had enough to eat today, and I even took two servings home."
"That won't do. My sister said she would buy you fried dough sticks, so she'll let you eat them."

Elsewhere, after entering the department store, Wang Qinghong whispered to Wang Qingli, "If we run into Zheng Guoqiang, should we tell him that the five beauties are waiting for him at the door?"
Wang Qingli also replied in a very low voice: "Of course not. It depends on his own behavior and when he can remember that he still has a partner.
There is no harm in letting the five beauties feel sad and suffer a little today. It is much better than suffering and being sad all your life!
Sister, please don't meddle in other people's business! If necessary, I will help Wu Mei and cancel this marriage."
Wang Qinghong frowned and said, "What if Wumei regrets it later? Will she blame you? After all, it's true that the Zheng family is well-off. What if Wumei can't find someone better, then..."
Wang Qingli interrupted her and said, "Sister, that's all for the future. If she really blames me, the worst that can happen is that I lose this friend and stop associating with her. But I can't just watch Wu Mei jump into the fire pit. I can't do that."
What's so good about the Zheng family? Without Zheng Guoqiang, what's the difference between them and ordinary families? They are worse than ordinary families. Ordinary families at least know how to work hard and earn money to support themselves. But what about the Zheng family?
I heard from people in their team that the male laborers in their family are all second-class laborers, earning only 8 work points a day, and the female laborers only earn 6 or 7.
Zheng Lanping in his family doesn't have a cent at all, and the seedlings she raises are even more delicate than the ones at the food station.
Xiao Miao has a good personality and a good temper, but look at this: her third brother was going shopping with his girlfriend, and she rushed to sit on the back of the bicycle, leaving her future sister-in-law to walk. Is this something a human would do?
Don't say her mother and brother asked her to do this. If she knew anything, she shouldn't have come along. This only shows that no one in their family is sensible.
