Chapter 39 Chapter 39 He's Coming
Shu Niannian wears the cashmere three-piece suit that Ye Jinhong bought for her almost every day, and she never takes off her gloves and scarf.
Shu Niannian felt that since she put on cashmere gloves and scarf, not only her body but also her heart felt warm.
Ye Jinhong was wearing casual clothes. When he found Shu Niannian according to the mailing address, Shu Niannian happened to be in self-study class. Her deskmate suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Your parents are here to see you."
When Shu Niannian heard that someone was looking for her at home, she turned her head to look outside and saw Ye Jinhong.
She went out with a smile, but she didn't tell her deskmate that this was her partner. He wasn't her family yet, but would definitely be in the future.
Shu Niannian walked briskly outside the classroom and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Ye Jinhong's eyes were filled with unresolved emotions. He smiled and tapped Shu Niannian's nose. "I said I would come to see you. Did you forget?"
Shu Niannian did not dodge and let Ye Jinhong touch her nose. Although this was the first time they met after confirming their relationship, Shu Niannian felt that the atmosphere between them had changed a lot compared to before. Restraint and alienation were no longer there, and ambiguity and intimacy were everywhere.
Because it was a self-study class, Shu Niannian said hello to her classmates and said, "Please tell the teacher for me, I have something to go out for."
The student sitting by the window looked at Shu Niannian, then at Ye Jinhong, and couldn't help blushing. She didn't know why she was blushing, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll talk to Teacher Zhang later."
After asking for leave, Shu Niannian pulled Ye Jinhong out of the school gate. Ye Jinhong was tall and upright, with an indescribable majesty in his every move. Shu Niannian was also youthful and lively. She had a smooth figure, and she always looked better than others in the same clothes. She had a curvy figure, a thin waist and long legs, and a pair of round almond eyes on her palm-sized face. She looked adorable no matter how you looked at her, especially today when she was wearing a pink scarf and gloves. Her whole body was brimming with youth.
When Shu Niannian walked with Ye Jinhong, she only reached Ye Jinhong's shoulders. Against the backdrop of the tall and burly Ye Jinhong, Shu Niannian looked even more petite and delicate.
The two walked side by side on the street, frequently attracting the attention of passers-by.
"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you today!" Shu Niannian was very happy. "But I don't have much time. I have to rush back to class before 1:30 pm."
Shu Niannian asked for leave for the last self-study class. After calculating the time, Shu Niannian now has three hours to accompany Ye Jinhong for a walk.
"I'm fine with either. What do you want to eat?" Ye Jinhong didn't have a strong appetite, but he knew Shu Niannian was a foodie. "Is there any restaurant in the county with a good reputation? We can go and have a look."
Shu Niannian spread her hands when she heard that. "I'm a poor girl from the countryside. How can I know what restaurants there are in the county? The most common dish in my family is pork offal hotpot, but time is tight and I can't take you home. Let my mother cook for you!"
When Ye Jinhong heard Shu Niannian say "a poor girl who wants to come down", her heart ached. Even though she knew that Shu Niannian was not poor at all now and at least had the freedom to eat, knowing was one thing and hearing her say it was another.
Ye Jinhong took out the stamps, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, meat coupons, and a bicycle industrial coupon that he had prepared long ago from his pocket. He grabbed Shu Niannian's hand and stuffed all the stamps into her hands. He also took out a roll of ten-yuan bills and stuffed all of them into Shu Niannian's hands.
Shu Niannian was stunned. I said I was poor, but I wasn’t really poor. Why did he give me these? !
Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, her round almond-shaped eyes looked at Ye Jinhong, and Ye Jinhong understood immediately, his ears were burning, but he said calmly, "These are what I saved for you, and now that I see you, I will naturally give them to you. I give out a lot of these tickets every month, and I didn't need to share them with comrades in need before. I have saved them for the past two months. The other ones are pocket money for you, take them, don't think it's too little."
Shu Niannian was stunned. She took a look at the thick roll of banknotes. Who gives pocket money in rolls?
But she didn't refuse and just asked me for it. It seemed like she was being distant by pushing it back and forth.
Shu Niannian put the money and tickets into her pocket and said generously, "Okay, since you gave me pocket money, I'll take you to eat delicious food. You eat whatever I give you. Don't be picky."
Ye Jinhong smiled and said, "Okay, just eat what you like. I'm definitely not picky about food."
Shu Niannian first bought two strings of candied haws, gave one to Ye Jinhong, and ate one for herself. It was fine for her, as there were plenty of little girls eating candied haws on the street, but it seemed very incongruous to see Ye Jinhong holding a string of candied haws and chewing it, just... how to say it?
It's like a tough guy, but if you insist on giving him a flower, it will look weird.
Ye Jinhong has a dignified and upright temperament. He has been well-trained in military life for many years. Even though he is wearing casual clothes now, he still looks like a gun carrier, which is not very suitable for Tanghulu.
Under the extremely surprised eyes of passers-by, Shu Niannian turned her head to look at Ye Jinhong, and finally realized that something was wrong. She covered her mouth and laughed a few times, then quickly reached out to take the candied haws from Ye Jinhong, "I'll hold it for you first, and you can eat it when you want!"
Ye Jinhong saw the candied haws in Shu Niannian's hand, and his deep eyes narrowed, "I want to eat it now."
After saying that, he lowered his head and took a bite of the candied haws.
Shu Niannian:......
He didn't like eating candied haws that much before.
Many years later, the two talked about what happened that afternoon, and Ye Jinhong said, "It was only when you held the candied haws that I wanted to eat them."
Although Shu Niannian had never eaten at a restaurant in the county town, this did not prevent her from quickly and accurately finding delicious restaurants in Shu County.
She follows two principles when choosing a restaurant.
First: The restaurant must be clean and hygienic.
Second: look at the auntie sitting in front of the restaurant washing vegetables. See if there are many vegetables in front of her. If there are many vegetables, it means business is good. Good business is naturally because the products are of good quality and low price. After all, the public has sharp eyes.
Generally speaking, as long as these two conditions are met at the same time, the restaurant must be good.
After walking and stopping for more than ten minutes of searching and comparing, Shu Niannian finally pulled Ye Jinhong into Sun's Restaurant.
Although Shu County is a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands, there were very few restaurants in the county in the early days of reform and opening up. Unlike later times, there were all kinds of restaurants, whether small restaurants or magnificent hotels, which occupied most of the street.
Anyone who dares to open a restaurant in a county town now needs not only vision but also courage. After ten years of operation, many people are scared out of their wits. After all, no one knows how long the spring breeze of reform will last, or whether it will stop.
After Shu Niannian and Ye Jinhong sat down at Sun's Restaurant, the proprietress enthusiastically showed the menu to Shu Niannian and Ye Jinhong. Shu Niannian found the proprietress to be familiar, but for a moment, she could not remember where she had seen her before.
