"Why go back? Let's go eat. It's on me."
Su Yu waved her hand, "You treated us to the movie today, and now you're making us eat too. I feel so bad. If anyone should be treating, it should be me."
"It's alright, how could I let a woman treat me? That would be too much trouble." Secretary Song was even more displeased. "Listen to me, let's go eat together. Comrade Su, what would you like to eat?"
Su Zhi immediately exclaimed, "My sister likes braised pork."
"Then let's go eat braised pork."
"Then this meal is on Zhi."
Su Zhi's face immediately contorted in a complicated expression. "Sister..."
"What are you shouting for? Secretary Song is treating us to a movie, I'll treat you to snacks, and you'll treat us to dinner. It's fair."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi realized it was true. So he nodded, "Okay, my treat!"
We found a state-run restaurant nearby. It was a small restaurant with limited supplies. When we asked for braised pork, they immediately waved their hands, saying, "No braised pork, you'll be lucky to get a bowl of noodles."
Su Zhi suppressed a grimace and turned to look at his older sister and Secretary Song. "Sis, no."
Su Yu asked, "Do you have braised fish?" Su Zhi: "..."
"That's all!" the waiter said.
Su Zhi couldn't help but laugh, "Sis, there's nothing here either."
Secretary Song put his hands in his pockets and said, "Let's just have noodles. You guys eat first, I'll go out and buy something."
Then I went out.
After a while, the noodles were served, but Secretary Song still hadn't returned. Su Yu didn't touch her chopsticks, nor did she let Su Zhi touch them. This was basic etiquette.
She simply took out her notebook and continued reviewing her lessons.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the noodles were almost soggy. Su Zhi swallowed hard and asked, "Sis, why isn't Secretary Song back yet?"
How would I know?
Su Zhi continued to swallow.
Just as he was getting impatient, he saw Secretary Song run back, carrying a large bowl of rice.
As soon as he sat down, he put down his lunchbox and placed a bowl of braised pork in the middle of the table. "Eat up."
Su Zhi drooled profusely.
Su Yu stared at the braised pork, still steaming hot, and looked up at Secretary Song, "You bought this?"
"We're going out for a meal. It's okay if we don't get meat. It's not far anyway; we can just ride a bike there."
Seeing the sweat still glistening on his forehead and the slight flush on his face from the exertion, Su Yu smiled and picked up her chopsticks to place a piece of meat on his plate. "Secretary Song, please eat first. You've worked hard."
Secretary Song was immediately delighted and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
"It tastes pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi quickly picked up some food and started eating. "Sis, eat up, it's really delicious."
It's so great to come out with my sister! We watched a movie and ate meat.
Oh no, it's really good to come out with Secretary Song.
Su Yu also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. She didn't actually like braised pork much; she only ate this kind of large meat dish because she wanted to gain weight. And when she was entertaining guests, this kind of meat dish looked more appealing. So she always ordered it when she treated people to a meal.
She doesn't have any favorite dishes; the things she likes are all things that are helpful to her.
