Seeing him, Xu Jiaojiao remembered what she had said in the morning about treating him to a meal.
"Shall we... go to the state-owned restaurant?"
With a smile on her face, she spoke.
Qin Shuo nodded and walked forward to take the bag from her hand.
But she dodged it.
"It's not heavy, I can carry it myself." Xu Jiaojiao said awkwardly.
The bag was full of women's things, how could she let him take anything?
Qin Shuo looked at her steadily, confirmed that she was really unwilling, frowned, and did not force her.
The two walked towards the state-owned hotel one after the other.
Just like other couples on the street, they were very well behaved and seemed like they wished they could live across the street from each other.
It was dinner time and there were people everywhere.
This meal was hers to treat, so Xu Jiaojiao naturally stood at the window to queue up.
But as soon as she stood up, she saw Qin Shuo standing behind her.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
Is he trying to compete with me for the bill? !
Xu Jiaojiao didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so she secretly decided that she must be quick.
We must not let him get ahead of us.
After a while, it was their turn.
"What do you want to eat?" Xu Jiaojiao looked like you could just order whatever you want.
"You order."
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
All right.
I turned around to order food, but found that there were only a few dishes.
All written on the blackboard provided daily.
Finally, Xu Jiaojiao ordered two dishes and a soup.
"A total of one dollar and five cents plus two kilograms of food coupons."
Xu Jiaojiao took out money and tickets from her pocket.
After flipping through the pile of colorful tickets, I realized that there were no food coupons among them!
This is embarrassing.
What was even more embarrassing was that Qin Shuo next to him had already taken out the money and tickets and handed them to the window.
"Sorry, I'll treat you next time." Xu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.
But the man's eyes were very complicated.
Xu Jiaojiao didn't understand, but she didn't take it to heart.
While waiting for the food, the two stared at each other.
The atmosphere was so awkward that one couldn't help but want to scratch the floor.
"Are you...going back to the army?" Xu Jiaojiao felt that she still needed to find a topic to talk about.
But they were only half-familiar with each other, and she didn't know what to talk about.
I found a topic and said it casually.
Who knew, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the man's eyes suddenly become a little strange.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
Not really?
Can't I ask this?
"If it's inconvenient, then don't say it." Xu Jiaojiao had already beaten herself up in her mind.
Let you chat casually.
Even if they just stared at each other, it would be better than the current atmosphere.
"No."
Qin Shuo said two words briefly.
The past life flashed through her mind again, when she went south with others after she returned to the army.
However, Xu Jiaojiao felt that the atmosphere became even colder, so she simply stopped talking.
This person is unpredictable and difficult to predict.
If he hadn't helped her, Xu Jiaojiao wouldn't want to stick with this cold butt.
Fortunately, the food was served soon.
Xu Jiaojiao, who hadn't eaten out for a long time, didn't care about anything else.
Pick up the bowl and start eating.
I have to say, as expected of a chef from a state-owned restaurant, the dishes he cooks are really delicious.
For fear of saying something wrong and stepping on a landmine, Xu Jiaojiao did not try to talk to him again.
The two of them ate quietly.
People who didn’t know them would think that the two were sitting at the same table.
Xu Jiaojiao doesn't care about that.
After having a satisfying meal, she said hello to Qin Shuo and left.
As for waiting for him?
Does not exist.
Don’t be fooled by Xu Jiaojiao’s usual smiling appearance, she actually holds a grudge.
Having just been given the cold shoulder, she didn't want to pay any attention to him now.
The tractors in the team agreed to gather at three o'clock.
It was still early, so Xu Jiaojiao went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
After waiting in line for a long time, I came out with a bag full of things.
She estimated that it was almost three o'clock, so she didn't linger any longer and went directly to the meeting point.
There were only a few male educated youth at the gathering point.
The tall, fair-skinned guy was particularly eye-catching.
"It's Xu Jiaojiao." Meng Wenyuan bumped into Gu Qingbai's arm.
But Gu Qingbai didn't even raise his eyelids, just quietly looking at the book in his hand.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Meng Wenyuan felt extremely bored.
As the figure got closer, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Why does Xu Jiaojiao seem like a different person?" What he actually wanted to say was why she became more beautiful.
However, her status was not suitable for discussing such matters, so she could only say this.
But after he said this, he saw that Gu Qingbai remained indifferent, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Come on, if you want to watch his play, that’s just a dream!
Xu Jiaojiao was not familiar with these educated youth. She just greeted them politely and found a rock to sit down.
There was absolutely no intention of approaching and talking to him.
There was nothing to watch, so Meng Wenyuan withdrew his gaze and waited for the car to arrive.
Not long after, the sound of vehicles was heard, and unexpectedly, the tractor stopped next to Xu Jiaojiao.
At this time, there were still only a few of them coming to the gathering point.
Even Qin Shuo was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Jiaojiao didn't care about anything else. As soon as the car stopped, she put her things on.
Then he grabbed the back of the car and jumped onto it easily.
There was no one else, so she sat directly in the first seat.
Just as I sat down, I heard a thud and someone came up.
Xu Jiaojiao didn't look back. She guessed it must be those male educated youth.
Sure enough, who else could the person sitting opposite her be but Gu Qingbai?
Seeing that he frowned, Xu Jiaojiao was speechless.
Curious to see?
He withdrew his gaze and turned his head, only to be met with another pair of deep eyes.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
Thinking of his cold gaze in the restaurant, Xu Jiaojiao said nothing and turned her head forward again.
She even moved forward, as if she was afraid of bumping into him.
Not long after, other people got on the bus one after another.
The female educated youth were chattering away, looking extremely excited.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Chen Qiao Lian opposite her and wished she could fly over and sit with her.
It’s just that Chen Qiaolian is a popular girl, and several female educated youth around her gathered around her and talked to her.
How could she take care of herself?
"Are you all here? It's time to drive!"
Liu Dawu sat in the driving seat himself and shouted to the back.
There were still two empty seats on the bus, and two lesbians had not yet gotten on.
"There are still two people missing." Meng Wenyuan shouted to the front, "Don't drive yet."
Others were not happy.
We agreed to meet at 3 o'clock, why are those two taking so long?
"Why are Li Wenxiu and Ye Shuizhen always like this?" a female educated youth said dissatisfiedly.
Being late once or twice is fine, but why are you late every time?
Every time there was a large car full of people waiting for them.
But Liu Dawu turned around and comforted everyone.
"As a comrade, it's normal to be late for a while. Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
It's the same thing again!
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out.
When Li Wenxiu finally arrived at the assembly point, she found that everyone was looking at her unfriendly.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Li Wenxiu apologized straightforwardly.
The expression on his face was also full of sincerity.
The gay men all said it was okay.
But the lesbian's face became even darker.
"Didn't you lose money? Why did you buy so many things?"
