Yu Li said to Wang Qiang, "Brother Wang, you're such a good person! Thank you so much for today!"
Wang Qiang laughed and said, "If you don't care about this kind of thing, are you even a man? You're so beautiful, why are you going on a blind date with Yan Jiecheng!"
Yu Li was a little sad: "I didn't know he was this kind of person!"
Wang Qiang was riding his bicycle, leaning forward, and Yu Li's hair brushed against his face, making him feel itchy.
Looking at Yu Li's back, she was tall and slender, especially with her long legs. She could easily pedal a tricycle.
Wang Qiang couldn't help but think: I just don't know how good her Eighteen Styles Springing Leg Kick is. I really want to experience a few moves.
"Yu Li, are you hungry? How about we go eat first?"
Yu Li was deeply moved by Wang Qiang's concern and care, and she felt that Wang Qiang was more and more reliable.
She nodded. "Brother Wang, I'll listen to you."
A short while later, Wang Qiang rode his bicycle to the restaurant where Li Taohua was.
As soon as the two walked in, they attracted a lot of attention. Yu Li was tall and beautiful with long legs that were eye-catching, while Wang Qiang was handsome and clean-cut. The two were a perfect match.
The shop's waiters, upon seeing Yu Li, couldn't help but feel envious of her for finding such a handsome man.
Wang Qiang and Yu Li found a quiet corner to sit down.
This was Yu Li's first time in a restaurant, and she was a little reserved.
"Order whatever you want!"
"I've never been here before, it must be very expensive, right?"
Seeing Yu Li's timid appearance, Wang Qiang ordered the waiter to bring out a braised fish, a plate of shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, a plate of cold dishes, and two bowls of rice.
There's nothing good to eat right now. Let's just make do with this!
Yu Li quickly shook her head. She was already swallowing her saliva when she heard this. It had been so long since she had eaten meat. She was actually able to eat meat today.
"Boss, three ounces of wine, please!"
A woman's voice came from behind Wang Qiang, and then the woman sat down next to Wang Qiang and his group.
Wang Qiang looked at her and saw that the woman had short hair, wore a blue work hat, and her blue work clothes could not hide her waist. She had a pretty face, especially her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak.
"Liang Ladi?"
Wang Qiang blurted out, and when Liang Ladi heard someone call her name, she turned around. It was a man and a woman; the man was handsome, and the woman was pretty.
Do we know each other?
Liang Ladi was somewhat confused. She didn't recognize the man speaking in front of her. After her husband died, she took his place at the steel plant and became a welder. She was competitive at work and eventually became a level 5 welder.
Sometimes when she was too tired, she would come over and buy three ounces of wine for two cents, but she didn't have money for snacks. She would dip nails in soy sauce to eat with her wine!
"I'm Wang Qiang from the steel rolling mill. I often visit your factory and know that you're a Level 5 welder, very famous!"
After Wang Qiang introduced himself and said those words, Liang Ladi had no doubts about him.
Then Wang Qiang said, "Come on, let's eat something together!"
"OK!"
Liang Ladi was raising several children on her own, and she was even poorer than Qin Huairu. Although she worked hard to become a level 5 welder, she still couldn't even afford to eat cornbread.
Since someone invited her today, she wouldn't stand on ceremony. She had a fiery temper and, having spent years in the steel mill, knew men's minds well; she wasn't afraid of Wang Qiang. Besides, the woman beside him was prettier and taller than her.
Liang Ladi sat next to Wang Qiang, and the waiter brought a bowl of wine to Liang Ladi.
"A few more steamed buns, please!"
Wang Qiang watched Liang Ladi eat and drink, and her appetite was truly astonishing.
Yu Li didn't understand why Wang Qiang had invited Liang Ladi over for dinner, but she had been hungry for a long time and was so focused on eating that she forgot to ask Wang Qiang.
With great difficulty, Liang Ladi finally stopped. She couldn't help but look at Wang Qiang with curiosity. In this era, let alone eating meat, even having a dozen or so kilograms of cornmeal meant you were from a wealthy family.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"
Wang Qiang was puzzled when he noticed Liang Ladi staring at him.
Liang Ladi started to think to herself that Wang Qiang must be very wealthy, and if she could get in touch with him, she would have no problem with food and drink in the future.
Thinking of Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, and Xiu at home, none of them had eaten yet, and they hadn't had meat in a long time either.
We can only buy a maximum of 2 ounces of meat per month, and that's not even every month. When was the last time we ate meat?
I don't remember, it was probably seven or eight months ago.
"It's alright."
Liang Ladi was too embarrassed to ask Wang Qiang to pack another portion of food for her to take back to her child.
"real?"
Yu Li stopped eating at this point, burping as she realized she hadn't had a full meal in a long time.
"Brother Wang..."
"You two don't need to say anything, I know what you mean."
Wang Qiang called over a waiter.
"Give me a pound of pig's head meat, packaged separately, half a pound per package. Also give me 20 steamed buns, packaged separately, 10 buns per package!"
One for each of you!
"Brother Wang..."
Yu Li was so excited that she wanted to marry Wang Qiang on the spot. Liang Ladi looked at Wang Qiang, wondering why he was doing this. But no matter what his purpose was, as long as she could get food, Liang Ladi didn't care about anything else.
In the original drama, she would let men touch her hands in exchange for benefits. Of course, initially, she didn't go all the way and exchange her body for food. That is, until she met a sucker, Nan Yi. Of course, she doesn't know Nan Yi yet.
It follows the same pattern as the traditional courtyard houses: a bachelor paired with a widow...
"Wang Qiang, right? Thank you! If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me!"
Liang Ladi had spent years mingling in men's circles and knew their thoughts all too well. There was no way they'd give something away for free.
Hearing Liang Ladi's words, Yu Li was dumbfounded, and Wang Qiang was also shocked. He knew she was feisty and fierce, but he didn't expect her to be this fierce.
Are you willing?
Now that things were out in the open, Wang Qiang didn't hold back. He wasn't a philanthropist, so of course he had to help such a pretty widow. He had somehow developed a Cao Cao-esque spirit.
"This is enough!"
Liang Ladi's eyes darted around, then she said expectantly. If she agreed to Wang Qiang's request, and as long as she made the effort and Wang Qiang enjoyed it, she would have a reason to ask him for more.
It would be foolish not to seize such a long-term meal ticket. Besides, I already have four children…
She glanced at Yu Li, who was staring in disbelief beside her, and thought to herself: Luckily, she's a stupid woman, otherwise she would have already snatched it from me.
Yu Li was indeed frightened; after all, she was still a young woman.
Although her family wasn't well-off and she wanted to find someone with better conditions, she wasn't at all like Liang Ladi, who could sleep with any man she wanted.
At the same time, his feelings towards Wang Qiang were very complicated; he had a good impression of him but also felt that Wang Qiang was too frivolous.
Seeing Yu Li's reaction, Wang Qiang guessed what she was thinking.
"Liang Ladi, you're joking. I know your family is struggling financially. This is just a small token of my appreciation as a fellow worker!"
When Yu Li heard Wang Qiang say this, her eyes lit up. It seemed that she had just wronged him.
