After entering the store, Lian Yuqing sat down directly. The waiter came forward and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
There was a small blackboard hanging on the window, with the dishes and prices written on it. Lian Yuqing sighed again, "The prices are so cheap!"
Lian Yuqing asked Cai Guifen: "Sister Cai, what do you want to eat?"
Cai Guifen only studied in the first grade of primary school. She could not read very well, but she still joined the army. Her husband was afraid that she was too different from other family members, so he took her to learn some words at night. She could basically recognize the words on the blackboard, but she just couldn't speak them.
Cai Guifen had been in the army for such a long time, but had never been to this restaurant because the food there was too expensive. One meal could feed her family for three days. After hesitating for a long time, she ordered a bowl of the cheapest vegetarian noodles, which cost 7 yuan.
Lian Yuqing calmly said to the waiter, "Two bowls of beef noodles, two fried eggs, and five meat buns."
Cai Guifen was dumbfounded. "This... is too much to eat. Just a bowl of noodles and nothing else."
The waiter has gone to the window to give the chef the menu.
"That won't do. I'm tired after a whole morning. I need to eat more to replenish myself."
Lian Yuqing specially saved five dollars. He had just spent less than a dime on the pile of money he had just bought. With the five dollars, he spent it like he was spending money like water.
The food was served quickly, the sign of the State-owned Hotel was loud, and the portions were particularly generous, with a full bowl of noodles and plenty of beef.
The meat buns also have thin skin and large fillings, each one is as big as a fist.
Lian Yuqing saw that Cai Guifen's eyes were wide open and she refused to eat, so he gave her the first bun and said, "Eat it quickly, you have to go out later."
Cai Guifen just started eating.
Lian Yuqing didn't have a big appetite, so she was full after eating one meat bun. Even though she was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, she couldn't help but sigh that the meat buns at this time were really delicious, the meat was firm, and the seasoning was flavorful. If she hadn't been unable to eat more, she would have eaten another one.
The meat buns must be freshly baked and steaming hot, and they are best eaten.
Cai Guifen cleaned her bowl and even finished her soup. She curbed her appetite and ate a meat bun.
Lian Yuqing asked the waiter to give her a bag to put the remaining three buns in, preparing to take them back to Wei Dong's house.
Cai Guifen looked at Lian Yuqing's bowl. The fried egg was finished, but there was still half of the noodles left, with a few pieces of beef floating in it. She hesitated for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't want to eat this noodles anymore, can you let me take it away?"
Lian Yuqing was stunned. She had never eaten other people's leftovers.
Cai Guifen was afraid that she would disagree, "My two kids have never eaten at a state-owned restaurant. Let's take them there and let them have a taste."
Lian Yuqing: "Ah."
Then he gave her a meat bun.
Lian Yuqing's image in Cai Guifen's heart suddenly became taller. She originally thought that Lian Yuqing was a spendthrift and spoiled, but she was actually generous!
There are military wives with good conditions in the family compound, but no one has ever been so generous.
Cai Guifen was very enthusiastic in helping Lian Yuqing get things, so she asked her to take two light washbasins.
Lian Yuqing accepted it without any psychological burden. Favors are something that should be reciprocated. She didn't feel guilty at all when she invited people to dinner and they helped her.
The soldier who was driving helped deliver the things to Lian and Qing's homes.
Downstairs, Cheng Weiwei and Jiang Min were holding hands, looking disdainful: "Look at how Cai Guifen is serving her, she's been bought off."
Jiang Min had heard from others that Captain Wei's wife was accompanying the army. When he saw her for the first time, he was quite surprised and even looked at Qing Chang like that.
However, she is busy with work and usually has no time to pay attention to the gossip in the staff quarters.
Jiang Min's husband Pan Yuecheng is the deputy commander of the 7th Battalion and has a good relationship with Wei Dong.
