Chapter 26 I have something to ask for
It is dinner time now, and the state-owned restaurant is crowded with people eating and making a lot of noise.
Liu Kening took the two of them to a table and asked them to sit down quickly.
There were five dishes on the table: stewed pork with cabbage, braised pork elbow, a pot of roast chicken, stewed pork with eggplant, a plate of green vegetables, and a steamed bun made of white flour.
They are all hard dishes. It seems that Liu Kening and Song Yiyuan have a strong relationship and are so generous.
"Hurry up and sit down. I figured it was almost time, so I ordered the food first."
Song Yiyuan just glanced at the dishes and sat down.
Lin Qingqing sat opposite Liu Kening with a smile on her lips.
Liu Kening put on a big smile on his face and said to Lin Qingqing, "Sister-in-law, all the dishes on this table are for you. You have to eat more."
Lin Qingqing also has a good impression of Liu Kening. He is warm, generous and polite to others.
There was no need for her to be awkwardly polite: "I'm sorry to have let Brother Liu spend money today." After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing that she came from a rural background but had a graceful manner and elegance in her speech and behavior, Liu Kening began to have a better impression of her.
The state-owned restaurant was noisy and not suitable for talking, so the three of them concentrated on eating.
After dinner, Liu Kening asked Lin Qingqing: "Sister-in-law, I'll drive you back."
"Okay." Lin Qingqing responded with a smile.
She saw that Song Yiyuan was injured and wanted to send him back, so she just wanted to take a ride.
Liu Kening brought the two of them to the opposite side of the state-owned hotel, where a military jeep was parked on the side of the road.
People passing by stopped to take a look, and even the people in the town hadn't seen the military vehicle. Isn't that strange?
Lin Qingqing came to the car door and waited for Liu Kening to open it. She was a country girl who had never ridden in a car before. If she opened the door and got in, the two soldiers, Liu Kening and Song Yiyuan, would not think too much.
Sure enough, Song Yiyuan seemed to see her embarrassment. He stretched out his long arm, opened the car door, and motioned Lin Qingqing to get in.
After Lin Qingqing got in the car, he closed the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Liu Kening watched this scene and teased Song Yiyuan, "Oh, Old Song is really thoughtful. Hey, have you informed your family about your upcoming marriage?"
Song Yiyuan shook his head: "Let's not talk about it for now."
Liu Kening rolled his eyes at him, his expression gloating: "I hope you can bear the consequences when the time comes."
The military vehicle sped along the country road, causing the busy farmers in the fields to put down their work and watch the car leave.
The car drove very fast and soon arrived at the territory of Dashan Village. Lin Qingqing's home was at the end of the village, so they had to pass through the village entrance.
As soon as he arrived at the mountain village, he caused a commotion.
In the 1970s, rural people had never seen cars, let alone military vehicles.
Seeing the military vehicle heading straight for the village, some people who were working put down their farm tools and ran after the vehicle into the village.
The car stopped in front of Lin Qingqing's house.
Lin Qingqing opened the door and got out of the car, and a swarm of people immediately surrounded her. Some kind-hearted people hurried to the fields to inform the Lin family that a distinguished guest had come to their home.
An auntie took Lin Qingqing's arm and asked, "Qingqing, is the person driving the car your boyfriend?"
Lin Qingqing glanced at Liu Kening, who was in his thirties. Before she could say anything, an aunt next to her retorted, "The person driving the car is over 30 years old. What are you looking at me with, Aunt Zhang?"
The aunt holding Lin Qingqing loosened her grip upon hearing this and started arguing with the people around her: "The Lin family said he was a soldier. Look, he's wearing a military uniform."
Lin Qingqing invited Liu Kening to sit in the yard. It was the busy farming season, so these people wouldn't stay here for long.
The three of them entered the room and closed the door to block out the noise of discussion.
"Aunt, you're back."
Da Mao and a bunch of children rushed over to Lin Qingqing. Lin Qingqing touched the children's heads and took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and fruit candy from her bag.
I gave each of the children a candy and sent them off to play.
"Brother Song, take Brother Liu to the main hall and sit down. I'll go get some water."
Song Yiyuan nodded and led Liu Kening to the main hall.
Lin Qingqing walked into the kitchen, took out some tea leaves from the dormitory in the space, put two enamel cups in them, poured boiling water into them, and the aroma of tea immediately filled the air.
Lin Qingqing placed two cups of tea in front of them. Liu Kening looked at the tea leaves in the cups, raised his head and exclaimed, "Green tea?"
Tea is hard to buy these days and is usually only used by leaders and employees in units.
Liu Kening was surprised that the Lin family, despite their circumstances, could actually afford to drink tea.
Song Yiyuan looked at the tea leaves, then raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qingqing deeply.
Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "I picked this on the mountain and made it myself. You can try it."
Liu Kening picked up the cup, sniffed it, and smiled: "It's good to live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, and live by the water and eat by the water."
Lin Qingqing sat aside generously, pointing in the direction of Maoer Mountain and said, "There is a big mountain in our village. The mountain is rich in resources. I usually like to stroll up the mountain."
Liu Kening took a sip of tea: "Hmm, good tea."
He put down the cup, and his face, which had been smiling all the time, suddenly became serious: "Sister-in-law, I came here today to ask for something."
Lin Qingqing was puzzled: "Oh?"
