Chapter 385 Now that we are here, we can’t go back
She took the man's arm and introduced him to Liang Xiulan, "Xiulan, let me introduce you, this is my husband, Huang Lijun! He's in the building materials business."
After saying that, she turned her head to look at the man and introduced him, "This is my friend Xiulan. We grew up together. This is her husband. He's from Shangyao Village."
Huang Lijun nodded to Liang Xiulan and extended his hand to Jiang Jinzhou: "Hello."
Jiang Jinzhou shook hands with him and responded politely: "Hello."
After shaking hands with Jiang Jinzhou, Huang Lijun quickly withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and wiped his hands inconspicuously with the handkerchief in his pocket, for fear of contracting the disease of poverty.
She looked at Jiang Jinzhou's clothes and asked, "What kind of business does your friend's husband work in?"
"Are you moving bricks at the construction site?"
Jiang Jinzhou glanced at him and said, "As expected of a businessman, you have a unique vision! He really just finished moving the bricks."
"My wife came here in a hurry, so she didn't have time to change clothes. Sorry for the trouble."
Huang Lijun laughed contemptuously: "It doesn't matter whether I change my clothes or not."
"Let's go eat!"
He took Zhao Caixia and left first.
Zhao Caixia took Liang Xiulan's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"
Liang Xiulan looked back at Jiang Jinzhou, feeling a little apologetic.
Mouth-shaped: "How about not going?"
Jiang Jinzhou said indifferently: "No need!"
He wanted to see what kind of monsters Liang Xiulan's friends were.
Walking out of the hospital gate, Zhao Caixia proudly showed Liang Xiulan her family's tricycle.
"His car didn't come back, so my dad was riding a bicycle at home. My husband couldn't bear to see me exposed to the wind, so he bought me this tricycle when he came back."
"I said I didn't need it, and we wouldn't be staying at home for more than a few days. My husband said, 'Let my dad ride the bike after we leave, and he'll need it when I come back.'"
"How is it? Is this tricycle okay? My husband was worried that I wouldn't be comfortable sitting on it, so he bought me the most expensive model."
Seeing Zhao Caixia showing off proudly, Liang Xiulan felt embarrassed.
Because this is the tricycle she designed, and the style of the tricycle she is using now is even higher grade than this one.
She never showed off.
He forced a fake smile and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, not bad, very good..."
Zhao Caixia saw her expression and was ecstatic: "Envy? Jealous? Your family is so poor, I'm afraid you can't even afford a bicycle, right?"
When she came back, she didn't expect to meet Liang Xiulan, so she never asked about Liang Xiulan's background.
Jiang Jinzhou was about to say something when Liang Xiulan shook her head at him speechlessly.
Inner thought: Forget it, let her show off a little, we won’t see each other very often anyway.
Zhao Caixia was about to pull Liang Xiulan into the car, but Liang Xiulan let go of her hand.
"Well...I'd better take my husband's car..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jinzhou drove a van in front of the three people.
Zhao Caixia's eyebrows jumped. "Oh, a van? Aren't these usually used for transporting goods? Is it comfortable to sit in?"
Liang Xiulan raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively, "How about... you sit down and try it?"
Zhao Caixia was happy and was about to agree, but suddenly she heard Huang Lijun coughing, and she shrank back.
"No, I can go with my husband."
"Oh... so where are you planning to treat us to dinner?"
Liang Xiulan just wanted to eat for free.
Zhao Caixia looked at Jiang Jinzhou's poor appearance and thought that he had never eaten anything good.
Moreover, she was not at home all year round and had never been to Lin County. In order to show her sincerity and to demonstrate her husband's financial resources, she let Liang Xiulan make the decision directly.
"Wherever you want to go, we'll go there!"
Liang Xiulan looked at Jiang Jinzhou again and asked for his opinion, "Then where do you want to eat?"
Jiang Jinzhou thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Changping. The soup there is delicious."
Huang Lijun: You are indeed a poor guy, you only know how to drink soup.
He snapped his fingers in a cool manner, got on the tricycle, and said generously, "Okay! Your car leads the way, and I'll follow behind! Wife, get in the car!"
Zhao Caixia happily got on the tricycle, and Liang Xiulan quickly got on the passenger seat of the van.
On the way, Jiang Jinzhou asked Liang Xiulan, "What kind of friend is this?"
Liang Xiulan pinched her hair and swirled it in circles as if nothing had happened: "Just an ordinary friend, from the same village."
"Why haven't I seen it?"
"She went to school outside and didn't attend junior high school at home. She got married in another place, and we haven't seen each other for many years."
"Then what is she doing back this time?"
"I don't know. Maybe he missed his parents and came back to see them."
"Oh...what do you want to eat later?"
As soon as the topic of food came up, Liang Xiulan's eyes lit up: "I want to eat meat!"
"No! The doctor said you need to control your weight."
"Then why are you asking me...why don't you just decide for yourself..."
Jiang Jinzhou thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... the beef soup here tastes very good. If you want to eat meat, I'll order some beef soup for you later..."
"good!"
As they chatted, they arrived at the entrance of Changping Restaurant.
Huang Lijun and Zhao Caixia followed closely behind, stopped the car, and looked at the word Changping in front of them with their eyes wide open.
"It's a restaurant? And it's so big? What does your friend's husband mean? Is he trying to cheat us out of our money?"
Zhao Caixia was also confused: "I don't know either. I thought it was just a small restaurant. And he said the soup was delicious, so I thought it was noodle soup."
"You think you didn't ask clearly? How much does this table cost?"
"Well, now that we're here, we can't go back..."
As the two were talking, Jiang Jinzhou and Liang Xiulan got out of the car and walked over.
"Caixia, let's go!"
Zhao Caixia gave an ugly smile and got out of the car with her head held high.
Huang Lijun got off the car and felt his pocket, where he still had more than a hundred yuan.
The man said he liked to drink soup, which cost more than a hundred yuan. Not to mention one bowl of soup, fifty bowls of soup should be enough.
But he was worried about his money. Why should he spend so much money on these two strangers for no reason?
It's all my fault, my spendthrift wife, who's always showing off for no reason.
Jiang Jinzhou took Liang Xiulan's hand and walked to the lobby with ease. The manager immediately came over to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, how many people are you?"
Jiang Jinzhou glanced at the hall, which was full. He licked his lips and said, "Four of us, is there a smaller private room?"
The manager apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, it's dinner time now and you didn't make a reservation in advance, so the only room left is the large private room."
Changping Restaurant is considered the highest-end restaurant in Lin County. Generally speaking, private rooms must be booked in advance.
Moreover, Jiang Jinzhou always brought no less than six people with him every time. The manager thought that Jiang Jinzhou would bring many people this time, but unexpectedly, there were only four.
Jiang Jinzhou hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look at Liang Xiulan. She seemed to be looking forward to the beef soup.
I had no choice but to agree: "Then let's have a big private room."
"Well, now we only have private rooms for twelve and sixteen, but both have minimum spending requirements. Take a look..."
"Then let's have a private room for twelve."
"Okay, this way, please..."
