Chapter 4 How can someone shine?



Afraid of affecting the people behind him from ordering food, Zhou Yian joked with the eldest sister for a few words and then sat at the table waiting for the eldest sister to call people.

When I was doing nothing, I saw two girls who looked a little out of place compared to most people walking in from the gate. They seemed to be shining.

Zhou Yian rubbed his eyes. Oh my god, it wasn’t just an illusion, it was really glowing!

How could this be!

One of the girls was really pretty, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and she was well-read and elegant. It was obvious that she was well-read, like a clear spring.

Especially with the light on her body, her already fair face looks even more radiant. She is several levels more beautiful than Zhou Yian's stepsister.

Although the girl next to her is not as pretty as the other one, she is obviously dressed up carefully and gives the feeling of a close sister.

"Rice and braised pork are ready."

The dishes were ordered, and Zhou Yian hurried over to get them, not caring about the two people. The dishes in the state-owned restaurant were self-service, and they were indeed delicious. Who could refuse the authentic braised pork?

Zhou Yian immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was smooth and tender, fat but not greasy, salty and sweet. The aroma was very strong, with a hint of sugar and the aroma of barbecued meat. The meat was tender and melted in the mouth. It was wonderful with rice.

After stuffing several pieces into my mouth, I finally had the mind to continue observing them.

At some point, the two of them had already sat down. There were two or three dishes on the table, which were much more luxurious than what Zhou Yian ordered.

Shedding tears of poverty, is this the gap between the rich and the poor?

"Luyao, did your father really marry a stepmother?" Hu Yue, your close sister, spoke with some consolation. "Don't think too much about it. Besides, your mother has been gone for more than ten years, and your father must have had a hard time too."

"I don't want to see them anymore. My stepmother is only a few years older than me, and I really can't afford to lose face like this." Xu Luyao lowered her head and said silently.

Wow, that's exciting. But people get married early these days, so her father probably isn't that old either.

Zhou Yian slowed down his eating speed and stared at it secretly.

It's all just some consoling nonsense.

Zhou Yian was bored listening to it.

Huh?!

How come this woman named Hu Yue suddenly started to change from white light to black light? It was slowly turning black from all around. If Zhou Yian hadn't been watching carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Zhou Yian tried to recall when his face started to darken. It seemed like there was some mention of encouragement to go to the countryside. Indeed, there had been a document issued this year encouraging this, and many intellectuals with bright hearts had volunteered to go to the countryside.

What, these two people too?

But, strangely, what's with this black light? It gives people a bad feeling, just like the black shadows in Detective Conan, which can be seen as a villain at first glance.

Could it be that he meant bad guy, or that he had bad intentions? But then again, looking at Luyao's thin arms and legs, she definitely couldn't go to the countryside. Life in the city is so good. If there was no other way, who would want to go to the countryside!

Zhou Yian thought wistfully. This girl shouldn't be so foolish. Going to the countryside isn't a good idea. This year is 1965, and there are still eleven years before she can hope to return to the city.

"Hu Yue, what you said is a good idea. Going to the countryside is indeed a good idea." Xu Luyao nodded.

Amazing! Even this can be fooled.

Now Zhou Yian was certain that Hu Yue really had no good intentions. The black light should mean that this person had a bad idea, or implemented this bad idea.

Zhou Yian thought about whether he should remind Xu Luyao not to go to the countryside.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. One was a stranger who showed up out of nowhere, and the other was my good friend. No one would trust a stranger, and Xu Luyao definitely wouldn't listen even if I told her. Instead, I would be wasting my time and effort.

There is an old saying that goes, "Distant people do not separate close ones, and distant people do not separate close ones." This is not without reason.

She should just mind her own business.

First of all! She had to buy more braised pork, it was so delicious. It was so delicious that she ate it all with rice, and her belly was about to bulge.

It’s really that people in this era are too short of money.

Unsure if she could take it away, she thought of the ceramic water cup she had just bought. Acting on her thought, she stood up and walked to the counter.

"Sister, the braised pork made by this chef is so delicious. Our family has never had such delicious braised pork. Could you pack a portion for me in this cup?" Zhou Yian stepped forward shamelessly. No matter how many holes there are, the flattery never fails.

"Usually we only buy one portion of braised pork here, but since you really like it, I'll make an exception and pack one for you. Just put your water cup aside and wait."

"Big sister is really beautiful and kind-hearted. I wonder which big brother is so lucky to marry big sister." Zhou Yian was very happy when she heard it. She said nice words without asking for anything in return. With her bright smiling face, she was still very convincing.

The eldest sister was obviously very amused, "The little girl is really good at talking."

"Sister, I don't know if there will be any braised pork tomorrow. I will be going to the countryside in two days. There are few supplies in the countryside. I don't know if I will be able to eat braised pork in the future," Zhou Yian raised his voice slightly so that Xu Luyao could hear.

No, as the successor of the new era, Zhou Yian would still feel guilty if he saw and knew about this kind of thing and did nothing. He should at least remind him.

If Xu Luyao still went to the countryside after being reminded, then it was her fate and it was not her responsibility. "It just so happened that the government gave us a little subsidy for going to the countryside, so I wanted to come here to eat a few more meals before going to the countryside."
