Chapter 16
"It was obviously me who got to know Brother Huai Jing first, and it was you who destroyed our relationship!"
Lu Hong raised her voice heroically, which quickly attracted the attention of passers-by. Everyone looked at Tang Wan with a subtle look.
Just when she felt uncomfortable, Lu Huaijing protected Tang Wan behind him, stared at Lu Hongying with unfriendly eyes and said:
“Firstly, we did know each other, but we were only from the same village. Secondly, my marriage to my wife was arranged by the elders in my family.
Finally, our marriage was supported by our elders and allowed by the army, and my wife never did anything disruptive.”
These words clearly explained the relationship between the three people, and the situation suddenly turned around.
Passersby looked at Lu Hongying with some displeasure, "This lesbian was shouting so loudly, I thought she was the original wife."
"That's right, the couple is doing fine, but she wants to interfere and even accuses others of ruining their relationship. How mean!"
"How shameless this lesbian is! There are so many men in the world, why does she like to think about other people's men!"
“…”
These days, people are strictly controlling their lifestyles, and anyone who has casual sex will be arrested.
Lu Hongying's face turned red as she was accused. She glared at Tang Wan angrily and ran away.
"It's all your fault."
Everyone had walked away, and the onlookers had dispersed in groups of three or four. There was even a kind-hearted lady who reminded Tang Wan to be careful of Lu Hongying.
When there were only two people left, Tang Wan gave Lu Huaijing a displeased look.
"This is your bad luck."
"sorry."
Lu Huaijing looked guilty and said apologetically: "I am the one who brought you trouble."
"Forget it, after all, you didn't mean it."
His prompt apology made Tang Wan give up the idea of pursuing the matter. After all, this matter was not something he could control.
Compared to those men who just shirk their responsibilities, he is already very good.
The two of them quickly forgot about this little episode and went into the state-owned hotel chatting and laughing.
By noon, there was already a line at the window, but not many people, as few people come to eat at state-owned hotels these days.
"What do you want to eat?"
Lu Huaijing pointed to the small blackboard hanging above, on which was written today's menu.
"Just watch out, I want to eat rice."
She saw that many people were reluctant to eat rice and only bought steamed buns for two cents.
"Okay, then, find a seat and wait for a while."
Lu Huaijing was queuing, and there were not many seats available, so Tang Wan randomly found a seat and sat down. The man was tall and stood out among the crowd.
He is not bad looking, tall and with long legs. Frankly speaking, as long as he has a good personality, Tang Wan, who only cares about appearance, would not be averse to marrying such a man.
While she was daydreaming, Lu Huaijing had already walked over with his long legs and sat opposite her.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Tang Wan quickly collected her thoughts and her face flushed. She couldn't say that she was admiring his figure.
Lu Huaijing did not ask any further questions about the affairs of Tang's parents. His wife must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Many times, he didn't want to poke her scars.
Fortunately, the waiter at the window called out soon and Lu Huaijing walked over quickly and brought the meal.
Pork stewed with vermicelli, braised spareribs, and scrambled eggs.
There were three pickled vegetables, a sufficient portion, and Lu Huaijing placed a bowl of rice in front of Tang Wan.
"Let's eat quickly."
"Thank you."
Tang Wan didn't hesitate. The three dishes for two people had already attracted the attention of many people in the hotel.
Most people who come here to have a good meal would only order one pickled vegetable, but the two of them actually ordered three!
As soon as Tang Wan took a bite of the ribs, she frowned slightly, which was noticed by Lu Huaijing's sharp eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"It's OK."
Tang Wan swallowed it slowly. The pork was good meat, but it was not cooked enough. It seemed that this was not the chef who made the meat buns.
Sure enough, when she tasted the pork vermicelli, her eyes lit up. It tasted delicious.
"Try this."
Lu Huaijing naturally noticed Tang Wan's expression. He also tasted it and said, "This one tastes better."
"Um."
After that, Tang Wan didn't touch the ribs anymore, but Lu Huaijing ate all of them.
It is not easy for people today to eat meat, so why would they care about the taste?
In the kitchen of a state-owned hotel, the old chef took a bite of pork ribs and sighed, "It seems that I will retire soon."
"Master, I will work hard to improve my skills."
"Fortunately, these days people are satisfied with just having meat to eat, and they don't care that much about the taste."
The old chef walked out of the kitchen with his hands behind his back. His back looked indescribably lonely, and he didn't even know that someone had already noticed something was wrong.
Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing left the state-owned hotel. She hesitated and asked, "Is there a toilet in the town?"
"Yes, it's just ahead."
Lu Huaijing pointed to the opposite corner and said, "One cent per time. I'll wait for you at the door."
"No, no, I might be a little long, let's meet at the photo studio later."
Tang Wan shook the dime in her hand, asked Lu Huaijing to go shopping on his own, and left quickly.
After turning the corner, she did not go to the restroom. Instead, she found an empty alley and quickly entered the room.
She had just looked around in the supply and marketing cooperative but hadn't seen any bright red wedding quilts. She quickly remembered that there was a store selling quilts in the Space Mall.
After Tang Wan entered, she quickly found the home furnishing store on the first floor. The wedding quilts were quite fashionable, in the style of modern times.
Tang Wan didn't want to take the risk of the space being discovered, so she was a little helpless. When she left the space, she wanted to take a look at the supermarket on the lower floor of the mall.
Finally, I found a wedding quilt unique to this era in a nostalgic shop next door.
There are even watches, bicycles and radios. Her space really has everything. She will visit all of them when she has time.
She took off the quilt cover and took a look. The quilt was still too thin and soft, so she only took out the dragon and phoenix pattern quilt cover and bed sheet.
After making sure that there was no one outside, Tang Wan picked up her things and left quickly.
As a result, when she arrived at the photo studio, Lu Huaijing had not arrived yet, so the old teacher gave her the photos.
"You two are good-looking, you look good in any photo."
Tang Wan took it and looked at it, then she realized it was a black and white photo. Although it was so, the people in the photo were photographed very well.
The corners of Lu Huaijing's mouth curled up slightly, her eyes seemed to be filled with joy, and she smiled like a flower.
"Thank you, comrade. You have excellent skills."
"You are the ones who look good on camera, comrade. Can I discuss something with you?"
The teacher's tone was quite enthusiastic, which made Tang Wan alert. She raised her eyebrows suspiciously.
"You say."
"This photo of you is the best one I have taken this year."
The old teacher was obviously in a good mood. "Can I print one and put it in the store and frame it for display?"
It's also a living signboard.
Afraid that Tang Wan would not agree, he lowered his voice and said, "How about I refund the money for this photo shoot and let you do it for free?"
"I'm sorry, my lover is a soldier and his image must be kept secret."
Tang Wan is not short of money. Not to mention the money she took away when she left, she can also earn money on her own.
The current situation is still unstable and she doesn't want to be a conspicuous person.
