"Xiyue, I didn't expect that we could meet here. What a coincidence! We both thought of the same thing."
Liu Yao jumped happily and went over to hold Ning Xiyue's hand.
Ning Xiyue glanced at Liu Yao, then at the other two, and asked curiously, "Did you three make an appointment?"
"The three of us met at the work point recording area. Liu Yao said she wanted to come and take a look. We were all very curious about this place. We were the only ones in the Youth League who cooked our own meals, so we decided to come here to see if we could be lazy and have a meal here without having to cook."
Wang Mengmeng smiled and shook her head, then went over and took Ning Xiyue's other hand.
Wang Jiandong looked at the three people who were arm in arm with their partners, while he was alone with his arms around each other's shoulders. After thinking about it, he hugged his arms and crossed his chest with his hands. Now he had a place to put his hands, and he didn't feel embarrassed anymore.
Liu Yao saw that this cafeteria was even bigger than she had imagined, and she was a little confused as to where to start. "Where should we start to find out now?"
Wang Jiandong looked at the crowd of unfamiliar faces in the cafeteria. He didn't rush around to check on the dining situation. Instead, he turned his gaze to the calm Ning Xiyue and asked with a smile, "Sister Xi, how is it? Do you know anything about the situation inside?"
Although he was asking, he was very confident in his heart. He believed that there was no need to ask others about the situation here. They would definitely get the answers they wanted from Sister Xi.
"You are so sharp, nothing escapes your eyes. Come with me, I will take you there and we can talk as we walk."
Ning Xiyue walked in front to lead the way. As she walked, she briefly told them what Aunt Yang Liu said today, and also looked over to see if her second brother was there.
Second Brother Ning didn't see it, but when he walked to the innermost window of the cafeteria, he saw a small room next to it. Ning Xiyue knew that this was the place to exchange tickets.
"We should change here." Ning Xiyue stopped and said to the three people following behind her.
Liu Yao ran over excitedly: "Come on, let's knock on the door and change quickly. I just passed by those windows and saw that there was pork stewed with vermicelli, and a dish made with fermented black beans and crucian carp. It looked delicious."
Wang Mengmeng swallowed her saliva and looked towards the window where the food was served from time to time: "I smell the fragrance, it is indeed very fragrant. I will eat these two dishes today."
Wang Jiandong walked forward and knocked on the door. A strange woman at the nearby window shouted, "What are you doing there?"
Ning Xiyue stepped forward with a smile on her face: "Auntie, we are here to exchange meal tickets. May I ask if you can exchange them here?"
When the aunt heard this, she didn't reply, but shouted loudly behind her: "Master Shen is looking for you."
After a few seconds, a middle-aged man wearing an apron and glasses ran out from the kitchen. He wiped the water off his hands on his apron and shouted, "Here I come."
This Master Shen looked like an educated man, but he looked unfamiliar, so it was estimated that he was a member of the coal mine team.
After he came out, Ning Xiyue and the others saw a familiar-looking person following closely behind him.
All five of them glanced at Chen Yetu.
Chen Yetu raised his eyebrows at them and greeted them with his eyes.
Liu Yao leaned over to Ning Xiyue's ear and whispered, "Isn't this Ye Chu? Is she responsible for the change?"
"Just watch first." Ning Xiyue turned her head and replied.
She was not too surprised. She was not surprised that Chen Yetu was the general manager. It was something she was capable of doing.
After Master Shen opened the door and sat down, Chen Yechu also sat down next to him and took out a notebook and placed it in front of him.
Master Shen looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that someone would come to exchange tickets on the first day. You are well-informed. You are the first group to exchange tickets. How many can you exchange, young comrades?"
Ning Xiyue waited for him to take out the ticket and put it on the table before asking, "Master Shen, how do I exchange it? How much is a meal ticket?"
Liu Yao then asked, "Master Shen, if we want to have a meal at noon today, does one meal ticket suffice?"
"You are from the Daliu team, right?" Master Shen looked at Chen Yechu when he said this. After getting her eye contact, he continued, "If you are from the Daliu team, a meal ticket is ten cents. One meal ticket can buy one meat, one vegetable, and one rice. You can make the soup over there."
When they heard the price, they felt relieved and looked at each other with their plans.
Ning Xiyue thought the price was very suitable. If the dishes were delicious, she would come here every day. The two dishes Liu Yao just mentioned were very good. There were at least five different dishes at the windows along the way.
It’s good quality and cheap, she likes it.
"Master Chen, we are from the Daliu team. I want to exchange for thirty tickets." Ning Xiyue readily took out three dollars from her pocket and handed it over, and bought thirty tickets first.
Master Shen handed the money to Chen Yechu, "Xiao Chen, register it for her."
He took the box containing the meal tickets and started counting the meal tickets for Ning Xiyue.
"Why."
Chen Yechu took a pen and wrote on the notebook, and Ning Xiyue signed after he finished writing.
When Liu Yao saw Ning Xiyue buying so much, she thought about it and took out three dollars and handed it over.
“Master Shen, I’ll also exchange thirty.”
"I'll exchange thirty too." Wang Jiandong also exchanged the same amount.
Only Wang Mengmeng was different. She generously took out six yuan and said, "I'll change it for sixty."
Ning Xiyue held her thirty meal tickets in her hand and looked at them. When she heard the amount they exchanged, she smiled knowingly. She knew it would be like this.
Currently, the only educated youth in their home are Zhao Jianshe and Wu Guifang, two older educated youths whose families have many children and whose conditions are average. The rest of the educated youth have good family conditions and their families give them subsidies and send them things every month.
