Wang Huizhu ran away angrily because she didn't get help from her brother.
Wang Guoxian knew his sister's temper, so he didn't rush to chase her. Instead, he kept apologizing to Chen Xifang: "I'm really sorry, my sister is not a bad person, she was just spoiled by her family. Please be more tolerant and give in to her."
Chen Xifang didn't say a word, but kept packing her things, and the noise was getting louder and louder. Chen Xicui, adhering to the principle that harmony brings wealth, nudged her sister with her arm and said, "That's about it."
Chen Xifang then nodded indifferently, but she was thinking in her heart, why should I give in to her? Who is she?
Wang Guoxian forced a smile and said, "My name is Wang Guoxian, and I'm Wang Huizhu's older brother. Comrade, if you need anything in the future, please let me know!"
Everyone present noticed something more or less, and Chen Xicui would not miss anything related to her sister. She looked at Wang Guoxian and found that the young man was quite energetic. She wondered what kind of person he was.
Chen Xifang didn't think much about it. She just said thank you casually and went to talk to Fu Xiuzhi.
Wang Guoxian made the bed for his sister and packed his things before going out to look for his sister.
"This is the first time we see a brother taking such good care of his sister." Song Fang waited until Wang Guoxian left before speaking in a low voice.
Jiang Fengxia was also puzzled: "Why aren't their parents here?"
"Okay, stop nagging about other people's family matters," Chen Zhifang said, not wanting to hear women gossip. "Let's pack up and leave quickly. There are so many of us, it's not a good idea to stay here any longer."
When Shen Xicui heard this, she immediately said, "I'll invite everyone to have lunch at the state-owned restaurant. I know the waiters there."
"How can this be possible! How can I let you treat me?" Fu Manshan waved his hands repeatedly, "We can just go back home and eat. Why go to a restaurant? It's too expensive."
"If anyone wants to treat, let us do it! Last time, thanks to this comrade, we were able to deliver the grain smoothly. This opportunity just happened to be there, so let us express our gratitude!" Chen Zhifang wanted to have a good relationship with Shen Xicui. Maybe he could use the back door to deliver the grain in the future!
A group of people walked out while making excuses. When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Shen Xicui was so thirsty from talking.
"Sister Chen! Why are you here so early today? Come in quickly, we have braised pork today!" Ma Yufen pulled Shen Xicui over and said in a low voice.
Chen Xicui didn't rush in. She pointed to the large group of people at the back and said, "Yufen, these are all my relatives and friends. Find a few tables and put them together. We can have dinner here!"
Ma Yufen counted them and was surprised to find that there were twelve people, including men, women, young and old!
"Well, it's a good thing you came early. No one has come here yet, otherwise we really wouldn't have enough seats."
Except for Chen Xifang and Zhao Xiaomei who did not feel cramped in the state-owned restaurant, everyone else, including Chen Zhifang who often went to the city, felt a little uneasy. It was their first time in this place and they dared not even think about it.
Chen Zhifang winked at his son, asking him to see how much money and bills he had.
"What's wrong, Dad? What's wrong with your eyes?" Chen Youpeng looked at his father in confusion.
Chen Zhifang looked at his silly son gloomily, "Stupid thing."
Fu Manshan at the other table was also pinching the money and tickets in his pocket. Fortunately, he brought a lot of things this time, otherwise he would have been embarrassed in a while.
Fu Baoer saw everything her grandfather did and knew that he was worried about not having enough money. However, it was also her first time here and she didn't know the prices in the state-owned restaurant. There was plenty of gold and silver, but tickets were hard to get.
Ma Yufen poured them some water and pointed to the small blackboard on the wall. "Today we're serving braised pork, stewed cabbage, and steamed buns as the staple food. What do you think?"
Fu Manshan took out the money and tickets and spoke before Chen Zhifang and Shen Xicui: "Then each table should get one!"
Ma Yufen knew at a glance that it was Fu Manshan's first time. Generally, those who came more often knew the prices, and those who took out a handful of money like Fu Manshan were all young ladies riding in a sedan chair for the first time.
For Sister Shen's sake, she was still very enthusiastic: "That's enough, uncle."
When Fu Manshan saw that she took away a Great Unity ticket, several meat tickets and grain tickets, he felt relieved and thought that it was enough.
Chen Zhifang did not step forward to argue. They were all family and they could settle the accounts when they got back.
"Then I won't argue with you. Anyway, Xiuzhi will be in the city in the future, and we'll have plenty of time to deal with her. If you try to snatch her from me then, I'll be angry." Chen Xicui pretended to be angry.
"Okay, I won't compete with you." Fu Manshan agreed honestly.
Jiang Fengxia likes the two sisters of the Shen family. They seem open-minded. In the future, Shen Xifang will work with her daughter, so she can take care of her.
"Xicui, how old are you? Are you married? Our Xiuzhi is 21 years old this year and has a kind personality. She and Xifang will definitely get along well as friends!"
Chen Xicui also liked Fu Xiuzhi from the bottom of her heart. She seemed like a down-to-earth person. Today, she even took the initiative to stand up and help her sister in the dormitory. It was obvious that she was a person with her own ideas. "Auntie, I'm 27 years old, and Fangfang is a little younger, 18. My sister is a hot-tempered person, but she doesn't have bad intentions. She's straightforward. I think their personalities complement each other perfectly, so we can avoid conflicts between these two troublemakers."
"Hey, sister, what are you talking about? Why am I so annoying?" Chen Xifang was at the next table. She heard the voice and retorted to her sister in dissatisfaction.
"I think Xifang has a good personality, straightforward and open-minded." Jiang Fengxia felt that Fu Xiuzhi was too easy to talk to, and sometimes she would easily swallow her anger and be bullied. "From now on, the two of them will take care of each other. Our Xiuzhi has been in the countryside all the time. If there is anything she doesn't understand, she needs Xifang's help."
"Of course. I'll also have to ask Xiuzhi to keep an eye on Fangfang for me and make sure she doesn't get into any trouble with the other comrades."
Fu Xiuzhi and Shen Xifang looked at each other and thought of Wang Huizhu at the same time. She was really a difficult young lady to serve.
"The meal is ready, come and try it. Chef Wang from our state-owned restaurant is an amazing cook." As soon as the dishes arrived, Shen Xicui quickly picked up two chopsticks for Fu Manshan and Jiang Fengxia, and then got some vegetables and meat for Baoer. "This little girl, how come she is so well-behaved? She doesn't cry or make a fuss, she is so lovable. Auntie, how come these children in your family are so well-behaved!"
Speaking of her granddaughters, Jiang Fengxia was even more proud: "These children in our family are all obedient and don't give me any worries at all."
"Xicui, how old is your child?" Jiang Fengxia asked casually.
Shen Xicui paused for a moment, a trace of pain flashing through her heart: "Auntie, I don't have any children yet!"
Jiang Fengxia knew she had said the wrong thing and felt a little regretful for a moment: "You are still young, and you have children in the future!"
Fu Baoer sat next to Shen Xicui and felt her instant emotional change. She guessed what she was thinking to some extent. She was 27 years old and had no children, and it didn't look like she didn't want one. She must have some unspeakable secret.
"Auntie, eat!" Fu Baoer pointed at the stewed cabbage and motioned Shen Xicui to give it to her.
"Eat, little greedy cat," Shen Xicui didn't take it to heart and picked up a piece of cabbage for Fu Baoer with chopsticks. "Eat more and become a little fat pig."
Fu Baoer took a bite and curved her eyes with a smile, which made Shen Xicui like it even more.
What a wonderful child! It would be great if she could have a daughter.
