Coming out of the supply and marketing department, Lu Xinghe and He Xiaoyu, holding Lu's mother on both sides, were heading to the state-owned restaurant.
"Oh, let's not go to that place. It's too expensive. It's for people of status. I brought some dry food with me.
If you want to go, you two can have a bite, and I'll just deal with it."
Mother Lu kept refusing, as if she was reluctant to give her second son and his wife a penny.
There is a saying in later generations: Be a parent who doesn’t spoil the fun.
But this sentence is not suitable in this era.
Farmers of this era are frugal by nature.
Being able to buy so many things at the supply and marketing department already made Mother Lu's heart bleed.
Moreover, in her previous life, Mother Lu had only been to a state-owned restaurant once in her entire life.
The only time was when her daughter passed away, and her sister-in-law Cao Guizhi dragged her over to show her filial piety in front of relatives and friends.
"Mom, just go. I tell you, the food there is actually very cheap, and it's not as good as the food at home.
If you don't believe me, go and have a look. There is no such thing as status or no status. They are all ordinary people. This is prepared for everyone."
After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, He Xiaoyu continued to persuade him: "Yes, Mom, let's go and try it. Xinghe always said that the food in state-owned restaurants is not as good as his. Let's go and try it.
Otherwise he would be bragging every day."
When a husband and wife are united, they can accomplish anything.
They all wanted Lu's mother to live a good life without any intrigue between husband and wife.
If we are parents who understand each other, there will be no problems that cannot be solved.
Although Mother Lu was such a stubborn person, she was still convinced by the rapid-fire words from the two men.
The state-owned store was just opposite the supply and marketing department. The three of them entered the state-owned store and started ordering food.
At that time, there were only a few kinds of food in state-owned restaurants.
Besides, it's still noon, and most people are in factories or lazy people, just eating a quick bite.
A few buns, a few steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a pot of hot water are all that's needed to get by.
Mother Lu looked at the food in the state-owned store with a look of disbelief.
Ever since I followed Lu Xinghe and left the old house to live alone.
Even breakfast at home must have at least three dishes.
There was never a lack of meat in every meal.
After all, Lu Xinghe said that eating can make people happy, and only when you eat well can you live a good life.
But looking at the high-ranking city people in Japan, how come they can’t even get a meal?
"Hello, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried pork slices, stir-fried pork with green peppers, two bowls of shredded pork noodles, and a bowl of rice.
Here are six taels of food coupons, and three bottles of soda."
Although Lu Xinghe's voice was not loud when he ordered the dishes, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the state-owned restaurant.
You know, big dishes like sweet and sour pork and stir-fried pork cutlets cost 90 cents per serving.
In addition to two taels of food coupons, shredded pork noodles also cost two cents!
There are only three of us, and you ordered so much?
The main thing is that he’s not dressed well and he’s not the leader of a nearby factory.
Mother Lu was not used to this kind of look, so she pulled Lu Xinghe's clothes and said, "Son, you can't eat so much, how about we have less?"
"Mom! Aren't there two sisters here? We should eat. I brought lunch boxes. I'll pack some leftovers for them later."
After hearing this, Mother Lu reluctantly agreed, but the looks from all around still made the three of them feel a little uncomfortable.
but.
Just when the first plate of sweet and sour pork was served.
When they saw the waiter from the state-owned restaurant, Lu's mother and the other two were instantly stunned!
Because the person who came was none other than Lu Xinglin whom they wanted to see!!!
Seeing his family eating in a state-owned restaurant, Lu Xinglin put down his plate, turned around and was about to run away.
The scenes of plates and bowls breaking on TV are so unrealistic.
For people from poor families, they would rather get hurt than damage their property.
"Xinglin! Come here!"
Lu Xinghe was too lazy to chase after him. He just shouted, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and started eating.
"No, brother, calm down. He Xiaoxue is here too! I'll go get her over!"
Lu Xinglin struggled to turn his head, and then was sold to He Xiaoxue!
"Mom, sit down. Xiaoyu, sit down too. What's the point of you being so anxious? Don't you see anyone now?"
"Son, what's going on? Aren't they going to school? Why are they here? What kind of work are they doing at such a young age?"
Mother Lu sat down obediently, but she kept muttering that going to school is a big deal.
You can work whenever you want. Besides, the two children are too young and the family cannot afford to support them.
"Mom, don't worry, Xiaoxue is here too. Let's see what's going on with these two. Why are they here instead of going to school?"
It was a rare time that He Xiaoyu had a gloomy face.
Lu Xinghe patted He Xiaoyu's hand under the table, signaling him to calm down.
Then he picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and blocked their mouths.
It’s true, the sweet and sour pork in this era is really unpalatable, neither sour nor sweet, and it’s obvious that the chef was reluctant to put in any extra ingredients.
It’s really not as delicious as what you make at home.
“Ahem~~”
Lu Xinghe looked at the two people coming out of the kitchen, playing hide-and-seek, neither of them wanting to stand in front of them, and cleared his throat.
Signaled the two of them to come over quickly!
It is said that a sister-in-law is like a mother, and an elder brother is like a father.
In fact, in this family, Lu Xinghe is more like the eldest brother.
Seeing Lu Xinghe's gloomy face, the two girls didn't dare to act rashly and walked to Lu Xinghe timidly.
Mother Lu was about to spank Lu Xinglin, but was stopped by He Xiaoyu.
After all, they are two grown girls, and it would not look good to see them getting beaten outside.
"Tell me, what's up? The last time I came was when I saw you guys at school. It's only been a few days, why are you here?
Who introduced you here? Tell me a little bit at a time. "
Lu Xinghe looked at the two little girls, shook his head and sighed.
To be honest, the two girls are not as pretty as He Xiaoyu.
The buds of this tree haven't bloomed yet. In two years, it will definitely be the only tree in the county.
It’s okay at school, at least there’s a security team to protect us and they’ll let us know if anything happens.
If you show up in public here and happen to meet someone who is drunk, it will be too late if something happens.
In this era, a woman who is doted on before marriage will be stabbed in the back for the rest of her life.
"I～～～"
"Lu Xinglin, you speak first."
He Xiaoxue is really unteachable, even though she is his own sister.
"Brother, we are still in school. Today is the weekend and we are going to work."
"Bullshit! This is a state-owned store! All the people inside are regular cadres. How did you get in?"
How could I still lie after hearing this?
Lu Xinghe was really a little angry.
"Hey, let me see who's here. What's going on? Are they bullying kids?"
Before Lu Xinglin could continue to explain, Su Xingruo, who was wearing an apron, walked over with a big trousers, glaring at Lu Xinghe with a vicious look on her face.
This was the expression on Su Xingruo's face the last time Lu Xinghe saw her.
When he was a child, he secretly watched Su Xingruo taking a bath. Su Xingruo took off his pants and spanked his little butt with a willow branch.
Seeing this expression at this moment, even the grown-up Lu Xinghe had a psychological trauma and subconsciously moved the stool.
Hiding behind Lu Xinglin.
