Chapter 9: Aunties' Jokes
"What are you eating? It's my treat." Zhou Ziwen asked.
"That's not good, let's just buy our own!"
Before her younger sister could answer, her elder sister Chen Shiying spoke first.
"Okay, then I won't compete with you for it." Zhou Ziwen shrugged and said indifferently.
Since the girl doesn't agree, he won't force it. There's still a long way to go, and he's not a bootlicker who will rush to do anything for her.
Zhou Ziwen ordered a large bowl of shredded pork noodles at the window, and the Chen sisters ordered two bowls of plain noodles.
After paying the money and the ticket, their noodles arrived soon.
As for the service attitude, it is quite ordinary. There is no such legendary situation where the waiters look down on people and speak coldly.
To be honest, the portions in state-owned restaurants are quite generous, so even people who do manual labor can eat their fill.
While eating, no one was talking. Zhou Ziwen didn't care about his image and the sound of him slurping noodles was quite loud.
The Chen sisters, on the other hand, paid some attention to their image and made little noise while eating noodles.
The three of them finished their meal quickly, and because the portions were so large, the Chen sisters were a little full.
"Oh, why is there so much noodles here? I'm so full that I can't even walk." Chen Qiaoyi complained while touching her stomach.
In this day and age, wasting food is the most shameful thing.
As a girl, she had a small appetite, but she didn't want to waste the food, so she had to force herself to finish it.
"And the taste isn't that great, not as good as my sister's."
"Keep your voice down. It's good enough that we have something to eat. Why are you complaining about it?" Sister Chen Shiying glared at her younger sister.
"I didn't say anything wrong." Chen Qiaoyi was a little unconvinced, but under the female power of her sister, she could only shut up.
"So, Comrade Chen Shiying is a good cook?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Of course, my sister's cooking is delicious. You'll know when you try it." Chen Qiaoyi said proudly.
"Oh, then I have to try it." Now Zhou Ziwen became interested.
It seems that Chen Shiying is a good girl who is good at both housework and cooking!
This is even more difficult to choose. The younger sister is well-behaved and cute, and the older sister is virtuous and sensible. It would be hard to give up either one.
…
After coming out of the restaurant, they didn't plan to go out for a walk. It was not very convenient to carry so many things with them.
So the three of them went straight to the place where they would return to the village to gather.
At the gathering point, the old man driving the ox cart was hiding in the shade to cool off.
When he saw Zhou Ziwen and the others, the old man looked at them carefully, as if to confirm their identities.
"Uncle, please have a cigarette." Zhou Ziwen handed over a cigarette with great tact.
Although he doesn't smoke often, he likes to carry a pack with him.
In this era, there are very few people who don't smoke and drink. After all, they do physical work and there are not many entertainment activities. They can only smoke and drink to relieve fatigue.
"Hey, you bought a lot of things. Let's take a break first. When we're done, we'll go back."
The old man happily took the cigarette, put it between his ears happily, and was reluctant to smoke it.
"We just arrived in the countryside! We need to buy a lot of things, otherwise we won't be able to survive."
"But what I bought this time will be enough for many years." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"That's true." The old man agreed with a smile.
He felt that these young people nowadays had no idea how to live and didn't know how to save money even when they had it.
Zhou Ziwen felt a little sleepy after just finishing his meal.
Sitting under the treetop, I chatted with the Chen sisters.
Most of the time, he and Chen Qiaoyi were chatting, while Chen Shiying listened quietly and occasionally smiled and agreed.
Her quiet appearance gives her a unique temperament that makes people calm down unconsciously.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen felt sleepy and fell asleep while chatting.
Seeing this, Chen Shiying reached out and pulled her sister, signaling her to calm down.
Chen Shiying curled her lips, feeling a little disappointed, but she soon raised her head, staring at Zhou Ziwen from time to time, and unknowingly became lost in thought.
Seeing her sister in a daze, Chen Shiying's eyes fluctuated slightly, but she quickly hid this emotion.
Zhou Ziwen didn't know how long he had slept before he was woken up by Chen Qiaoyi. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the ox cart was almost full.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoyi asked him to get up and reserve a seat on the bus.
After getting on the ox cart, the aunties and grandmas who had come in the morning focused their attention on him again.
"Zhou Zhiqing, why did you buy so many things? How much did it cost?"
"Zhou Zhiqing, I have a niece from my mother's family. Would you like me to introduce her to you?"
"Zhou Zhiqing..."
In a short time, Zhou Ziwen became the center of attention again.
But most of them were there to introduce him to someone.
It would be a shame not to introduce such a handsome guy to my family.
Even though it might not work, what if? If it does, wouldn't that be a profit?
"No, no, I'm still young, no need to rush." Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen waved his hands hurriedly.
"Zhou Zhiqing must be sixteen this year!"
"It's too late to date at this age. Here, people your age are already fathers."
"Haha, you guys should stop worrying about Zhou Zhiqing. Don't you see that he gets along well with the Chen Zhiqing sisters? I think Zhou Zhiqing must have taken a fancy to them."
"Haha, the two sisters look exactly the same. What if they can't recognize each other after they get married?"
These old women who have given birth to children are becoming more and more outspoken in their speech.
Even Zhou Ziwen couldn't bear it.
As a result, the Chen sisters were so ashamed that they couldn't even raise their heads.
That pink and rosy face, full of collagen, makes people want to take a bite.
"Aunties, please let us go."
"It doesn't matter to me as a man, but please don't ruin the girl's reputation." Zhou Ziwen quickly clasped his fists and begged for mercy.
"Haha, wouldn't it be better if you had a bad reputation? That way you can get something for free. But for your sake, we won't say anything." An auntie made a joke and then let him go.
Although they like to joke, they also know their limits and will not embarrass others.
Soon, these aunts and grandmas started talking about other topics.
Zhou Ziwen pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Chen Qiaoyi looked up and saw him acting funny, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I said, why are you exaggerating so much?!" Chen Qiaoyi said coquettishly.
"It's not an exaggeration, not at all."
The blush on Chen Qiaoyi's face had not yet faded, which made Zhou Ziwen unable to help but take a few more glances at her.
I have to say, these old ladies are really amazing. Some of Zhou Ziwen’s thoughts were predicted right away by them.
Which man doesn’t like sisters, hugging each other and so on?
In this day and age, it’s a bit difficult to do this.
The rest of the journey was peaceful.
Of course, this calmness was only because he was not involved. These old ladies were still talking about family matters and had no shortage of topics to chat about.
