Chapter 8: Meeting Jiang Wenbin Again

After buying the watch, Shen Zhiyou was afraid that Gu Ye would buy something else, so she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative quickly.

Gu Ye was waiting inside for the salesperson to pack the watches, while Shen Zhiyou was at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, calculating how much money they had spent that day.

Suddenly the view in front of her darkened. She thought it was Gu Ye who came out. She raised the corner of her mouth, but before she could say anything, she met a pair of complicated eyes mixed with disgust.

Jiang Wenbin stood in front of her in a white shirt and black pants, frowning: "Playing hard to get doesn't work on me."

Shen Zhiyou: “???”

"We have broken off the engagement now, Shen Zhiyou, if you continue like this, I will really look down on you."

The disgust in Jiang Wenbin's eyes was not only directed at Shen Zhiyou, but also at their family.

In his opinion, everyone in his family was mentally ill.

Not only him, basically everyone who knows their family thinks that the Shen family has something wrong with their brains.

Even though he has two sons at home, he still treats his daughter like a treasure.

Normally, their daughters would be married off to support their sons, but their family is different. Both sons are at home, and they want to find a son-in-law to marry into the family.

If their family had not been so abnormal, he would not have been humiliated by the villagers and ridiculed as the first educated youth to rely on women to gain a foothold.

Shen Zhiyou rolled her eyes very rudely.

As for the male and female protagonists, she naturally wanted to stay as far away from them as possible.

As a result, she was just waiting for someone here, and Jiang Wenbin came over and said these words for no apparent reason.

"Jiang Wenbin, did you look in the mirror before you went out? Or are you having some kind of hysteria?"

Jiang Wenbin's face froze, but he still frowned and said, "It's no use being tough."

"joke."

"What's wrong?"

Gu Ye saw Jiang Wenbin coming to the store. He quickly put away his watch and strode to Shen Zhiyou.

"He is sick. I am waiting for you here. He suddenly came to me and told me not to be attached to him. I asked him to look in the mirror before leaving."

When Gu Ye came, Shen Zhiyou straightened her back a lot.

"Look! My man is almost a head taller than him, stronger, more powerful and much more capable than him. Why would I care about him?"

Gu Ye: “….”

In the army, Gu Ye had always been one of the most outstanding ones among the crowd. He had long been accustomed to all kinds of praise and flattery and had become numb to it.

But it was the first time that a little girl called him "my man" all the time and praised him as better than other men, like today.

Men also feel a little embarrassed when they are praised by others.

But...the lump of flesh and blood in my chest also became inexplicably excited, and I couldn't control the smile at the corners of my mouth.

He tried hard to keep his mouth tight, but after Shen Zhiyou finished speaking, she looked up and asked him, "Really?"

Gu Ye: “........Yeah.”

Shen Zhiyou almost couldn't hold back her laughter!

She knew yesterday that this guy was a repressed person. Now, if he had a tail, it would probably have been shaken off.

Seeing her little expression, Gu Ye's ears were so hot that he cleared his throat, "Are you hungry? Go eat something."

"Um!"

The moment Gu Ye walked over, Jiang Wenbin wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

The two of them were still interacting and flirting in front of him. Jiang Wenbin felt embarrassed and at the same time, he developed resentment and unwillingness towards Shen Zhiyou!

Yesterday she was risking her life for him, but today she is acting like a spoiled child and angry with another man.

Jiang Wenbin stared at the two of them. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He looked up and met Gu Ye's silent and dark black eyes.

For some unknown reason, on such a hot day, he felt a chill on his back.

"Comrade, no matter what happened in the past, Shen Zhiyou is my girlfriend now. Please stay away from her in the future."

If someone else said these words to him, Jiang Wenbin would definitely be very disdainful.

But it happened to be Gu Ye, the most promising male comrade in their commune.

Although no one knows what level Gu Ye is.

However, all those who joined the army with him have already retired and returned. Those who are able to stay are officers with outstanding abilities and meritorious service.

Jiang Wenbin felt the pressure from the man who had really just come back from the battlefield just by standing in front of him without saying anything.

At the same time, Shen Zhiyou's words "so much taller than you" kept ringing in his ears.

Height is a man’s Achilles’ heel, and Shen Zhiyou hit it accurately.

In addition to height, most men have another problem: being "stubborn", and Jiang Wenbin also has this problem.

He clenched his fists and sneered, "Don't worry, I definitely won't, but I also hope you keep an eye on your partner."

"Ah, so the person who just ran up to me and talked to me was a dog?"

Jiang Wenbin: “….”

I don’t know how long it took, but He Qing came trotting over.

Seeing Jiang Wenbin, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "You are here, why don't you wait for me at the post office door, do you want to buy something?"

After saying that, seeing that his face looked strange, He Qing asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Wenbin was very upset and said in a bad tone: "I ran into Shen Zhiyou."

"Ah? Is she pestering you again? How can she be so shameless? It's all because you're too good!"

Jiang Wenbin opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he swallowed the words back.

In He Qing's eyes, his silence meant consent.

"She is going to marry Gu Ye, isn't she? She is so shameless that she is still pestering you like this. I think her marriage to Gu Ye is probably fake. There is no way Gu Ye would like her!"

————

Shen Zhiyou, who was looked down upon by Gu Ye, just walked into the state-owned restaurant and was hesitating about what to eat.

Although the Shen family loves their daughter, the family is limited by their financial situation. No matter how much they love her, they can only save some eggs and mung beans for her.

This was Shen Zhiyou’s first visit to the state-owned restaurant.

The walls of the house are painted white, which looks clean and bright.

The tables and chairs were arranged very neatly. There were about six tables, some rectangular tables that could only seat four or five people, and some round tables that could seat eight or nine people.

There was a small blackboard on the wall, the same as the one outside, with the following written on it in white chalk:

Today's supply:

Pork buns, mustard tuber and shredded pork noodles, braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, shredded potatoes, braised fish fillets...】

"What to eat?"

Shen Zhiyou looked at him and asked, "What are you eating?"

Gu Ye guessed that this might be her first time in a state-owned restaurant and she didn't know what to order.

So he said, "Let's cook. How about ordering two dishes and two bowls of rice?"

It was Shen Zhiyou’s first time here, and she thought everything was delicious, so naturally she agreed with whatever he said and nodded.

Finally, I ordered a braised pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Braised pork costs 50 cents, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes is considered half a meat dish, 20 cents.

Two large bowls of rice, each containing four ounces of rice, cost eight ounces of food coupons and one cent.

The total amount is one dollar, and eight taels of food coupons have been taken away.

But the quantity and quality are definitely worth the price.

The braised pork is made from authentic pork belly, with an attractive bright red color. The fat is rich but not greasy, the lean meat is tender and not dry, and the slow-cooked meat is very flavorful.

Shen Zhiyou usually doesn't like to eat fatty meat, but she also ate two pieces of pork belly.

Shen Zhiyou had never eaten such delicious food before: fragrant and glutinous white rice, sizzling pork belly and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

But her appetite is just so small.

Normally, she would be full with just two taels of grain at most. She was so full of the four taels of rice that she only ate the top layer.

Putting down his chopsticks, Gu Ye took a look and frowned again: "Why did you only eat so little!"
