After ordering, the waiter calculated the cost on the spot.
"Noodles cost eight cents a bowl, two taels of food coupons, cabbage stewed with vermicelli costs five cents, shredded radish costs three cents, a total of six taels of food coupons, thirty-two cents."
"Comrade, do you have any food that can be taken away? Steamed buns, dumplings or sesame cakes will all be fine." Lu Jiang was worried about his two nephews who were left at home, so he asked the waiter while taking out money and food coupons.
The waiter smiled and said, "The only staple food is noodles." He still said what he had said before.
"Okay, when we leave, please weigh out five pounds of noodles for us so we can cook them at home."
"Okay, comrade, one pound of noodles requires one pound of food coupons."
After listening to what the waiter said, Lu Jiang asked the price of the noodles and immediately paid the money and food coupons.
When the waiter saw the military food coupons, his eyes lit up even brighter.
In this world, military food coupons are rare, and as long as you have them, you can buy food first at the food store. She quickly took it, gave the change, and turned around to let the chef start cooking.
After the waiter left, Lu Jiang turned to Wang Zhengguo and said, "Uncle Wang, the noodles are not enough. Let's order more."
"Enough, enough. Ajiang, you don't have to spend any more money." There was a big bowl of noodles, as well as cabbage and chopped green onions. Although it was made of black flour, it was also a fine grain. Moreover, during the slack season, Wang Zhengguo's appetite was not as big as imagined.
The noodles were overcooked and a bit lumpy, but no one complained.
Wang Zhengguo and Lu Zhiyuan finally finished their noodles with some dishes. They were so full that their food was up to their throats. However, Lu Jiang was not full yet. He ordered two more bowls of noodles and ate up the remaining dishes.
"Soldiers have big appetites, otherwise they wouldn't have the energy to train and fight." Lu Zhiyuan explained with a smile.
Wang Zhengguo said hurriedly: "I know that soldiers bear the responsibility of defending the country, and they must eat well to have the strength to fight."
As far as he knew, almost all the best things in the country were first given to the military.
After Lu Jiang had eaten and drunk his fill, the three of them left the state-owned restaurant and drove the ox cart back to Wanglou Brigade.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and night was falling.
Sitting side by side with his son on the oxcart, Lu Jiang briefly explained Feng Qingxue's family situation. "Your uncle Wang said it very clearly that the girl wants to live with her five-year-old sister. I agreed. We also have your two nephews at home. They will rely on you to support them in the future. There is no reason to refuse a girl to raise her sister."
Lu Jiang nodded slightly and began to feel a little favorable towards Feng Qingxue.
In that difficult time, many people were starving and drowning of baby girls was common. This girl’s character was beyond reproach as she refused to give up her younger sister after her parents passed away.
Given his family background, he did not dare marry a girl with bad character, for fear that she would not treat him and his nephew well.
However, a girl who is willing to meet me should have accepted my family background in her heart and will not encounter any setbacks because of it in the future.
"It's what we should do. We can't let the girls and sisters be separated."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What does it mean to put yourself in someone else's shoes? This is it.
Since I am raising two nephews myself, I should naturally be considerate of their behavior in raising their younger sister.
When Lu Jiang said this, Wang Zhengguo, who was sitting in the back, was particularly relieved. "Ah Jiang, I'm really happy that you think this way. I'm not bragging about my niece. Although she's not good at everything, she's several times better than the average girl in the village. She's also a grateful child and won't let you down."
