She wanted to keep Yun Qiao at home for dinner, but Yun Qiao declined with a wave of her hand and went to the cafeteria at the back with He Tingjun.
The food in the cafeteria was as bland as usual. One dish of stir-fried beans had no oil in it and tasted like boiled beans. Another dish of braised eggplant tasted good because it had soybean paste in it, but it was still not as good as the pickled vegetables that went with the rice.
The person in charge of pickling pickles in the cafeteria has real skills. All year round, the pickles are the only thing that makes people like the food in the cafeteria.
After finishing the dishes, Yun Qiao and He Tingjun found a place to sit down and said with a smile: "This is your first time eating in our company cafeteria, right? Try it, you will definitely be disappointed."
I didn’t feel it when I ate in the canteen every day in the company before, but later I got used to being fed by Feng Juan, and now I always feel it’s hard to swallow when I eat in the canteen, and I always wear a mask of pain when I eat.
He Tingjun's expression didn't change much. After finishing the meal, he commented, "Not bad. Better than frozen potatoes."
"You're the first one who said our cafeteria food is delicious." Yun Qiao gave He Tingjun a thumbs up: "You must be easy to feed and manage the household accounts."
"Of course I have to." He Tingjun curled up the corners of his mouth, taking it as Yun Qiao's compliment.
As they were talking, Zheng Wenjing and Wang Ru rushed into the cafeteria together.
Both of them now work on a chicken farm and their relationship is closer than others.
Zheng Wenjing hadn't eaten breakfast and was ravenous. She only wanted to eat something, so she didn't even look around. It was Wang Ru who noticed Yun Qiao first. She tugged at Zheng Wenjing's sleeve and pointed at her: "Wenjing, look, Yun Qiao is here."
"Where? Where?" Zheng Wenjing immediately began to look around and soon met Yun Qiao's gaze.
Yun Qiao smiled and waved at her.
Zheng Wenjing immediately came over to her, greeted He Tingjun first, and then put her arm around Yun Qiao's shoulders: "Yun Qiao, when did you come? Why didn't you come to the chicken farm to see me?"
"I came this morning, but I was busy, so I didn't look for you first." Yun Qiao smiled and said, "I was planning to go to the educated youth dormitory to look for you after dinner. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we ran into each other in the cafeteria. Let's go together."
Zheng Wenjing agreed immediately: "Okay. Then wait for me, I'll go get some food first."
Wang Ru had a good relationship with Zheng Wenjing, while Yun Qiao had an average relationship with her, so they didn't come over. After saying hello, they went to share a table with other female educated youth.
Zheng Wenjing quickly brought the meal over.
Yun Qiao had moved from opposite He Tingjun to next to He Tingjun, and Zheng Wenjing sat next to Yun Qiao's original seat, facing Yun Qiao.
There was no rule of not talking while eating between the two of them. They always chatted while eating, and today was no exception.
After chatting for a few sentences, Yun Qiao turned the topic to the social gathering organized by the Women's Federation of the Army.
"The social gathering is on September 2nd. The purpose is to introduce single men and women to each other. Do you want to attend?"
"A social gathering? Are all the people there military officers?" Zheng Wenjing asked curiously.
Yun Qiao nodded. "About the same. Soldiers who just joined the army are too young. Seventeen or eighteen years old is not old enough to date. And those who are old enough to join the socials have basically made it to the level of battalion commander or company commander, or at the very least, platoon leader."
"Would you like to consider it?"
