There is also a state-owned canteen in Xinyi Town, just two blocks across the street.
Normally, most people who are willing to come and eat here are those who are passing by to do business, or some local people who are well-off and receive salaries or wages.
It was extremely rare to see Shi Zhentang coming to eat in his military uniform.
What's more, he was accompanied by a pretty girl. As soon as the perfect couple walked into the cafeteria, they quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As soon as she sat down, Tian Yuzhu felt the other party's strong care.
Shi Zhentang was always concerned that she might be shy.
He hadn't taken his eyes off her since entering the cafeteria, observing her every move. He found that she was fine, and the silly girl wasn't so scared that she couldn't even walk, so he felt a little relieved.
Saying this at this time is also to reassure the silly girl.
Tian Yuzhu pursed her lips, smiled and nodded.
It was a bit of a domineering approach, and she liked it.
Shi Zhentang naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but he felt that the silly girl should understand what he said.
"Just sit here and don't move. I'll get you something to eat."
"Hmm."
The silly girl agreed loudly.
Shi Zhentang: “…”
It seems that you are really hungry?
This time when Li Shengli came to help him complete the task, he also brought his year-end salary and the national food coupons issued that month.
Shi Zhentang wanted the silly girl to eat something good to nourish herself.
I ordered a plate of fried pork slices and chicken and mushroom soup, a plate of fried shredded potatoes, and six large steamed buns, all made of the best white flour.
This is already the best dish in the state-owned canteen.
The other people who were eating vegetarian noodles were drooling at the sight.
Although this officer appears cold on the surface, he actually loves his wife very much and is willing to spend money on her.
When Tian Yuzhu saw the food Shi Zhentang brought back, she couldn't help but smile. She had been eating coarse grain steamed buns recently.
The conditions are like that, and you can't say anyone is stingy.
Now that I finally saw the white flour buns, I was naturally excited and reached out to take them.
Unexpectedly, the little hand that stretched out was blocked by a pair of chopsticks. Although Shi Zhentang's face did not show much expression, the words he said were almost coaxing her: "Be obedient, you can't eat with your hands, you have to use chopsticks."
“…”
Just use it. Tian Yuzhu obediently took the chopsticks and picked up a big steamed bun for herself.
At the same time, Shi Zhentang also put some meat slices into her bowl: "Eat more."
Tian Yuzhu took the opportunity to pick up a steamed bun for him and said, "Eat more."
Shi Zhentang thought that the silly girl was imitating him again and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Afterwards, the two of us didn't talk much while eating, but you passed food to me and I passed food to you, and we got along very naturally and harmoniously.
But in the eyes of others, it was different. The young couple came to the state-owned canteen to show their love!
The waitresses were so excited that they could only peek at him. Who wouldn't want to have such a sweet love?
"Hey, have you heard? There are enemy spies in the mountains recently. They've all run into town these past two days like dying grasshoppers in autumn!"
"What? There's such a thing. Aren't we all worried?"
"That's right. Go home quickly after dinner. Don't hang around on the streets or visit people. If you run into enemy spies..."
The man made a motion of pulling his neck.
Hiss, the person sitting opposite was so frightened that his mouth twisted into a distorted smile: "The government doesn't care?"
"Of course we are, but we haven't caught them yet. Go home and tell your family to ask women and children to stay indoors as much as possible."
"Okay!"
The sudden sound of conversation interrupted Little Beauty.
Tian Yuzhu was a little frozen.
Well, she hadn't expected that the lie she had spread would continue to spread, and she heard it again with her own ears like a boomerang.
I couldn't help but sneak a glance at the person opposite...
Shi Zhentang frowned.
His face, which was made even clearer by the green military uniform, became a little gloomy.
Who spread these rumors? It's totally ridiculous.
Now that the country is stable and foreign nations dare not invade, even those little flies inside dare not openly cause trouble in the city no matter how bold they are.
But as a soldier, he couldn't just stand up and argue with the people.
It often takes time to judge the truth.
Shi Zhentang noticed that the silly girl stopped eating and looked at him. He thought she was scared because she heard something she shouldn't have heard. He wanted to comfort her, but he was worried that if he said too much, she wouldn't understand.
After pondering for a moment, he simply said, "Yuzhu, you only need to remember one thing. As long as I am here, you don't have to be afraid even if the sky falls. Remember?"
Tian Yuzhu: “…”
Don't be fooled by his cold appearance, what he said hits the nail on the head.
"Do you remember?" Shi Zhentang fixed his deep eyes on the silly girl. He had to make her remember.
“…I’ve got it.”
"Okay, come, I'll serve you some soup."
…
When we came out of the state-owned canteen, it was already dark.
As expected, there were only occasional people passing by on the street. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky. From a distance, it looked like a romantic curtain was being spread over the world.
“Beautiful!”
Tian Yuzhu happily raised her little face and let the snowflakes fall on her face.
Maybe it’s because I’ve eaten and drunk enough, and now I’m in a very good mood.
Shi Zhentang: “…”
Does she still know the difference between beauty and ugliness?
I couldn't help but look up at the sky.
He has experienced countless winters since he was a child, but when he looks back on them he only has painful memories.
When he was a child, he was hungry and cold. Winter was cruel and cold to him. Yang Dahua treated him worse than a stray dog.
He never thought snow was beautiful, but now, he saw the snowflakes gently falling on that little face.
The crystal clear light clung to her long and curled eyelashes, and in an instant it seemed as if all the heaviness in the world became light, and beauty bloomed with her innocent smile.
"cough!"
When the silly girl suddenly looked at him, Shi Zhentang quickly looked away and coughed fakely: "Let's go!"
Tian Yuzhu held back her laughter, pretended to be well-behaved, nodded, and tried hard to keep up with his pace.
But this man is very stubborn.
He cared about her and protected her, but he would always keep a certain distance from her.
He didn't dare to touch her at all. Even when she almost slipped, Shi Zhentang would just help her up and then retract his hand.
The two walked back for a while, and he took her straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and Shi Zhentang wanted to buy some New Year's goods, but men were rather careless and had no idea what to buy.
It’s unrealistic to ask the silly girl, so he can just handle it himself!
The most common items in the supply and marketing cooperative right now are non-staple foods. He ordered two pounds each of peanuts and melon seeds, and two bags of one-kilogram sugar. He originally wanted to buy more flour, but there were only ten pounds in total, so he took it all.
There are also canned oranges. I bought two bottles and took them back for grandma and silly girl to try.
Shi Zhentang also thought of the two little guys, so he bought two bags of fruit candies and a few packs of firecrackers.
He was also thinking about going to the department store tomorrow after the silly girl received the award to buy some clothes for her and her grandmother.
