Wang Da disagreed: "That won't work. You guys helped with the move, and we have to go to your house for dinner. That doesn't make sense. We should treat you to dinner today. It's too late to cook at home, so let's go to the canteen in front and eat. When the kitchen is cleaned up, I'll treat you to dinner at home."
Then he shouted at Cheng Mingzhong and his son in a cheerful voice: "Hurry up and pack up, let's go pick up An An and the others for dinner."
Sheng An Ning had no way of refusing, so she could only go back with Mu Xiaowan to wash up, change into clean clothes, and go to the old state-owned canteen at the entrance of the alley to eat together.
There were not many people eating at noon. There were seven or eight large round tables in the hall, with four or five people sitting sparsely on them.
Sheng Anning and her group just filled up a large round table. Wang Da went to order food generously, asking for dumplings and four dishes. If Sheng Anning hadn't stopped her, she would have ordered all the few dishes in the cafeteria.
After sitting down, Wang Da still felt that it was not enough: "There are only four dishes, is it enough? I see there is also lion's head soup today."
Sheng An Ning hurriedly stopped him: "That's enough, that's enough. We still have 200 dumplings. If that's not enough, we can order more dumplings."
Zhou Hongyun also stopped them: "That's enough, we are all family, don't be so polite."
She felt that Wang Da must have owed a lot of foreign debt when he bought this yard, and if he could save some money, he could pay off the debt sooner.
The dumplings came very quickly. Wang Da invited everyone to eat while expressing his gratitude: "I really have to thank you for letting me move out so quickly. Otherwise, where could I find such a suitable yard? Housing is so tight now, buying a yard is a big deal. Those people who live in bungalows in large yards are so envious of me when I move out."
She couldn't help but feel proud as she spoke. When she left the compound in the morning, everyone was envious of her, especially those who didn't get along with her. They must have been drooling with envy at home.
Zhou Hongyun smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. Many people dislike it."
Wang Da shook his head: "I'm not afraid. I never believe in these evil spirits. We are a red star, full of righteousness, right? Hahaha, I'll see if I can do something when I come back."
Just thinking about it makes me full of energy for the future.
Cheng Mingzhong has always been very curious: "I keep asking you where the money comes from, but you won't tell me. Does your family owe a lot of money?"
Wang Da rolled his eyes at him and said, "I can't count on you. Anyway, don't worry about the money. It's what my parents should give me."
He also told Sheng An Ning and Zhou Hong Yun about the source of the money: "My family used to be well off. My father was smart. He donated everything he could at home. He also donated the nice yard and moved to the countryside. He took the initiative to be a gravekeeper. He managed to escape those years, and he often told us to keep a low profile. The policy changed these two days, so he took out the treasures he had secretly hidden. Otherwise, how could I have money? I can't even borrow it."
Cheng Mingzhong was shocked: "How come I didn't know this? You didn't even tell me."
Wang Da snorted coldly: "Can I tell you about this? If I tell you, won't you be so scared that you can't sleep?"
Cheng Mingzhong choked. If he knew, he might not be able to sleep. What would happen if this was discovered?
Sheng An Ning knew that many people had hidden things at this time, and a few people had escaped.
Wang Da was a little proud: "If it weren't for me, we would have to live in the compound all our lives. I don't know when we can live in such a big house."
I can’t help but get excited just thinking about it.
…
After New Year's Day, the winter vacation was not far away, and Sheng Anning took time out to go to the hospital to observe several operations.
Two days before the final exam, we will take a half-day break to allow everyone to review and prepare for the exam.
Seeing that it was still early and she had been very busy recently, Sheng An Ning asked Mu Xiaowan to go to her pharmacy together.
There was a plaque hanging on the door of the shop, with the words "Chinese Medicine Store" written in red calligraphy, but without even a name. Sheng An Ning was surprised when she saw it: "No name?"
The management is indeed not that strict now. You can open a store with or without a name. You just need to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register what kind of store you are opening.
There is no trademark awareness.
Mu Xiaowan scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "The main reason is that I can't think of a nice name. I asked you a few before, but I felt that none of them were very good, so I decided to think about it again."
There was only a middle-aged woman in the store, and the little boy that Mu Xiaowan used to deliver goods was not there because he was out delivering goods.
The eldest sister saw Mu Xiaowan picking up the abacus beads on the counter, closing the account book, and came out to greet her: "Xiaowan is here. Business has been good these two days. You came at the right time. You can see if you want to purchase more goods."
Mu Xiaowan went over to reconcile the accounts with her elder sister.
Sheng An Ning looked around. The shop was not big and was filled with the aroma of herbs. Although it was simple, it had everything.
Seeing that Mu Xiaowan and her elder sister would take some time, Sheng An Ning went out to check the situation near the store and accidentally saw Zhou Shixun's back flashing in the alley.
Although it is lunch break at this time, Zhou Shixun should be at work, not here.
Besides, this place is seven or eight kilometers away from Zhou Shixun’s workplace. Why would he come here for no reason?
Sheng An Ning took a few quick steps in confusion, but she could no longer see the figure.
But she would definitely not make a mistake. After all, he was her own man, and the back of him riding the bike was very familiar.
Sheng An Ning frowned and walked around the area, but she couldn't find any place where Zhou Shixun could come at noon. When she turned around and prepared to go back to Mu Xiaowan's shop, she saw a noodle stall not far away. There was someone blocking the way, so she didn't see the owner.
When he saw that it was Fang Changan, he was stunned for a moment and then remembered that Fang Changan had been setting up a stall here.
Sheng An Ning had nothing to do, and because she knew Mu Xiaowan, she walked over to ask Fang Changan if his leg injury had healed. As soon as she walked over, she found that Fang Changan's eyes flashed with panic when he saw her.
When she reached out to take the lunch box in the car, Sheng An Ning had already seen it. It was a large aluminum lunch box with the word "Zhou" written on it in black paint. It was a mark she made on it when An An and the others went to the nursery to eat, and sometimes they would bring some food with them. She was afraid that the lunch box would be taken away.
And this lunch box suddenly appeared here!
Sheng An Ning thought about the back figure she had just seen and was very sure that Zhou Shixun must have come to find Fang Changan and brought something to Fang Changan. The lunch box should contain lamb stewed with radish.
Zhou Hongyun also stewed radishes with the lamb he had a few days ago last night.
Seeing Fang Changan's hand pressing the words on the lunch box, Sheng Anning smiled and said, "You and Zhou Shixun actually know each other?"
Fang Changan pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhou Shixun had warned him not to let his family know his identity.
Sheng An Ning asked again: "Have you ever been a soldier before?"
