It was noon now and there were many customers eating in the restaurant. Upon hearing the continuous noise, they all ran to the door to watch the fun.
Song Ruan's dining table was very close to the window. She stood up and took a few steps, then she could see the scenery outside through the window.
Outside was a group of senior students, walking towards this side from the big banyan tree at the other end of the street. There were both boys and girls. There was a person in front holding a gong, beating it from time to time.
Only when they came closer did Song Ruan extract information from their shouting.
The red armbands were taken down and the special period was over.
Song Ruan didn't expect that this special period would pass much faster than she thought.
When a whale dies, all things come to life.
The emotions that had been suppressed for many years were released all at once. The expressions on the faces of those who raised their arms and cheered were unusually vivid.
The high spirits infected people in the streets.
Song Ruan looked at it for a while, then returned to her seat and continued eating noodles. She planned to finish eating quickly and go to Yang Bin to talk about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Yang Bin arrived at the state-owned hotel before her and found her.
"Hello, would you like another bowl of pork noodles?" Song Ruan saw him coming and called the clerk who was watching the fun at the window.
"You haven't even finished your current bowl, why are you ordering another one?" The waiter glanced at her with some displeasure while she was just watching the fun.
"..." Only people from a state-owned restaurant could do such a thing as driving business away.
"Don't worry about it. I have money anyway." Song Ruan put the money for the noodles on the table, not wanting to argue with her.
"Then you wait." The clerk picked up the money, then quickly ran to the kitchen to give some instructions, then ran out again to watch the fun.
Yang Bin walked over to Song Ruan and sat down. Song Ruan looked at him sideways and asked in confusion, "The matter of the third brother's father was settled so quickly?"
Yang Bin raised his lips, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. "It shouldn't be necessary."
When he went to the third brother's house today to talk about this plan, his father said he would never agree to it. Later, after his repeated analysis, he finally agreed, but at this time, news came from above.
The unrest in the past few days has finally had a winner. The red armbands have been knocked down, and they are no longer a threat to the third brother's father.
The matter was resolved, but the favor was also lost.
Song Ruan wanted to ask more questions, but then she saw the third brother walking over here.
"Sister-in-law." The third brother parked his bicycle and took some effort to squeeze through the crowd at the door.
"Old Third, you're here too." Song Ruan greeted him, "Have you eaten?"
The third brother sat down and quickly poured himself a glass of water to quench his thirst. "I haven't eaten yet. I came here with Brother Bin just to have a meal with my sister-in-law."
Song Ruan smiled with her almond eyes, patted her chest and said in a heroic tone: "Okay, see what you want to eat. This meal is for your sister-in-law, and it's all you can eat. Your sister-in-law has nothing else but money."
The third brother chuckled, "Haha, good. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also so humorous. Brother Bin is really lucky."
"..."
Song Ruan felt that the third brother seemed to be praising her, but it seemed that he was not praising her completely.
Yang Bin next to him curled his lips, with an ambiguous meaning.
"Waiter, give me a plate of stir-fried meat, a bowl of white rice, and three bottles of Hachioji soda." The third brother ordered the food without hesitation.
After the third brother ordered the dishes, Song Ruan asked, "Do you know what's going on outside?"
Yang Bin nodded, took the noodles from the waiter and started eating.
The third brother swallowed and could only watch them eat: "We should just know it a little earlier than the people outside."
Song Ruan swallowed the noodles and asked in a low voice, "Is the black market going to open soon?"
The third brother nodded and lowered his voice. "It should be soon. We need to observe the situation in the next few days. If there is no problem, it should be able to open slowly."
"Then let's go back and tell our families about this news after dinner. I think this is a good sign. The overall environment will definitely get better and better in the future."
Song Ruan was full, so she put down her chopsticks, held her chin with her hand and watched them eat.
"Well, we'll take you back first, and then the third brother and I will go take care of some farm stuff."
Since the more than one hundred pigs have not been given away and the threat has disappeared, they will naturally continue to be raised.
Yang Bin quickly finished a bowl of noodles. Seeing that there was still half of the noodles left in Song Ruan's bowl, he naturally took it and continued eating.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here." The third brother who was sitting next to them felt their malice towards single men.
Yang Bin ate his noodles calmly and ignored his teasing.
Song Ruan was not that thick-skinned, so she felt a little embarrassed.
Just then, the soda was brought up. Song Ruan quickly took a bottle and drank it to cover it up.
When they had almost finished eating, Song Ruan called the waiter over again.
"Hello, please pack two more servings of braised pork and 22 fresh meat dumplings." These are to be packed back and taken back for the families on both sides.
The clerk was a little confused and thought he had heard wrongly.
Because people who come to state-owned restaurants to eat usually spend money here and experience the superiority of eating out.
It is rare to see people specifically taking away food for you to eat at home. If you have the money, can't you just buy the meat and cook it yourself at home?
Song Ruan didn't know what the clerk was thinking, otherwise he would have complained bitterly.
She also wanted to buy pork and cook it herself, because it tasted better. But she didn't have meat coupons, so she had money but nowhere to spend it, so she could only come to the state-owned restaurant to pack meat dishes, because the meat in the state-owned restaurant didn't require meat coupons.
Seeing that the clerk didn't say anything, Song Ruan repeated it again and then asked, "How much is it in total?"
The clerk came to his senses and counted the money for her. "You paid for the two bowls of noodles just now. The remaining items that have not been paid for: one portion of braised pork, two portions for three yuan; fresh meat dumplings for four cents each, a total of 88 cents; soda for eight cents a bottle, a total of 24 cents; twice-cooked pork for one dollar and two cents; all these add up to... 132 cents."
Under the clerk's complicated gaze, Song Ruan took out the money and counted it to her.
"Hey, no, no, no, take mine." The third brother stopped them, quickly put down his chopsticks, took out a big reunion ticket from his pocket and put it in the clerk's hand.
Then he said to Song Ruan, "Sister-in-law, I was just joking, don't take it seriously. This is my territory, how can I let you pay for it? It's better for Brother Bin to pay."
Yang Bin glanced at the third brother and said slowly, "I'm different from you. My wife manages my money."
The third one: “Fuck!” What will happen if I don’t show off!
Song Ruan: “…”
