"Then... what else do you have here?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked, suppressing her anger.
"Everything's gone. Come earlier next time you eat." After saying this, the woman picked up the sweater on the table and continued knitting.
"..." Zhao Zhenzhu's face turned red with anger.
This was the first time Zhao Zhenzhu had been completely ignored.
No wonder state-run restaurants went bankrupt a few years later.
With such service, how could they not go bankrupt?
"Sister Mei~! It's me! What's wrong? Is all the supply gone today?" He Bo heard the commotion and hurriedly came over to ask.
"Oh! It's Xiao He! The food is indeed sold out, but I can ask the chef to make it fresh. Those dishes on the blackboard are out of the question, the daily supply is limited, how about noodles?" When the woman saw He Bo, she finally put away her "motherly face".
The woman's name is Liu Yumei. She just bought a watch from He Bo yesterday.
In Liu Yumei's eyes, He Bo was a "capable person." Liu Yumei didn't want to fall out with He Bo.
"Sister, how about we have noodles?" He Bo asked Zhao Zhenzhu.
"Sure, I'll eat whatever I want," Zhao Zhenzhu nodded weakly.
Zhao Zhenzhu just wanted to fill her stomach and leave as quickly as possible. Ideally, she wanted to get as far away from Zhou Bingchen as possible.
She knew that nothing good would come of meeting Zhou Bingchen.
Zhao Zhenzhu refused to admit that she was taking her anger out on others.
"Sister Mei, then give us four bowls of noodles! You can't just give us plain noodles, it'd be best if there was meat. If there's no meat, at least add two poached eggs," He Bo said with a grin.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the braised beef brisket is ready. If it is, I'll have the chef make four bowls of beef brisket noodles for you." After saying that, Liu Yumei hurriedly went to the kitchen.
"Sister, don't be angry. That's just how the waiters at state-run restaurants are," He Bo said softly.
"I'm not angry, I just feel it's a pity I didn't get to eat the dishes I wanted," Zhao Zhenzhu said, smacking her lips and sighing.
"Sister, there's plenty of time! If we didn't get to eat this time, we can come back next time. Next time you come to the county town, I'll treat you to a meal. We'll come over around mealtimes," He Bo said with a grin.
"No need for you to invite me, I'll do it myself next time." Zhao Zhenzhu finally smiled.
Yes! There's still a long way to go!
If we can't eat the chef's food today, we can always come back next time, right?
At this moment, Zhou Bingchen walked over and asked, "Pearl, what happened just now?"
Zhou Bingchen had just gone to the toilet when he heard Liu Yumei's loud voice from afar. When he came over, he saw that Zhao Zhenzhu was unhappy, so he couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Zhenzhu's face fell; she didn't want to talk to Zhou Bingchen.
It only comes to light when the matter has been resolved; any explanation is merely hindsight.
What's the point of asking now? Will asking her make her eat braised pork and sauerkraut fish?
"Brother-in-law, it's past lunchtime, and all the dishes my sister wanted are sold out. We'll just have to make do with a bowl of noodles," He Bo said.
At this moment, Liu Yumei brought out four bowls of noodles from the kitchen and called He Bo over to pay the bill.
Zhao Zhenzhu hurriedly stood up, went to the window to pay the money and food coupons, and then took a bowl of noodles and placed it on the table.
“I can carry the pearl myself,” Zhou Bingchen said with a smile.
"This bowl of noodles is for me. If you want some, go get it yourself," Zhao Zhenzhu said, rolling her eyes at Zhou Bingchen.
Zhou Bingchen felt a pang of sadness.
Sure enough, Pearl really wanted a divorce.
In the past, whenever Pearl cooked something delicious, she would always serve him the first bowl. He couldn't refuse it.
As Zhou Bingchen stood up to get the noodles, He Bo asked softly, "Sis, did you and your husband have a fight?"
"He Xiaobo, don't talk while you eat." Zhao Zhenzhu said this and buried her head in her bowl, eating noodles in big mouthfuls.
He Bo dared not speak again.
Even He Bo, who was slow to realize, could tell that Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen had definitely had a falling out.
After finishing their noodles, He Bo made an excuse that he had something to do and left with Er Niu.
After finishing her meal, Zhao Zhenzhu didn't even glance at Zhou Bingchen before standing up and walking towards the bus station.
Zhao Zhenzhu remembers that there was a bus to Taohua Town at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to miss out.
Zhou Bingchen silently followed behind Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhao Zhenzhu was still angry, and Zhou Bingchen dared not provoke her further. He could only hope that by the time he got home, Zhao Zhenzhu's anger would have subsided.
Back in Peach Blossom Town, after getting off the car, Zhao Zhenzhu headed towards her parents' home.
"Pearl, aren't you going back to Zhoujia Village?" Zhou Bingchen asked anxiously.
"I won't go back," Zhao Zhenzhu said coldly.
“Pearl, I think we need to have a serious talk. Let’s go back to Zhoujia Village tonight!” Zhou Bingchen said, pulling on Zhao Zhenzhu’s arm.
"Go back by yourself if you want, don't drag me around." Zhao Zhenzhu said irritably, shaking off Zhou Bingchen's hand and accidentally bumping into his wound.
"Ouch!" Zhou Bingchen cried out in pain.
Zhao Zhenzhu was stunned.
Something felt off just now. Zhou Bingchen... is he injured?
Sure enough, Zhao Zhenzhu felt a momentary nervousness.
"Pearl, I'm fine," Zhou Bingchen said with a forced smile.
"Oh," Zhao Zhenzhu replied indifferently, and strode forward.
They're already preparing for a divorce, so what does it matter to her whether Zhou Bingchen is injured or not?
However, Zhao Zhenzhu felt a little down.
After walking for a while, Zhao Zhenzhu realized that Zhou Bingchen was still following behind her.
"Zhou Bingchen, why aren't you home? What are you doing following me?" Zhao Zhenzhu snapped.
