"Guo'er, I'm able to serve as the study committee member thanks to you!"
After the instructor left, Ye Yuanyuan said with interest,
"To express my gratitude and to celebrate, I'm treating everyone in our dorm to a meal at noon today. Don't refuse!"
Lan Guoer didn’t have many friends, and she thought it would be nice to have a few classmates with whom she could chat, so she agreed immediately.
Seeing that she agreed, Ye Yuanyuan happily went to inform other roommates.
Of course, this also includes Liu Ying.
It is true that there was a grudge between Liu Ying and Lan Guoer, but Ye Yuanyuan had just met her and was no different from her other roommates.
Although she had just participated in the competition for the study committee member, it was just a fair competition among classmates and would not affect Ye Yuanyuan's attitude towards her.
But Liu Ying didn’t think so!
Speaking of which, her understanding of Lan Guoer was still that she was just a child bride from the countryside.
To the extent that, she framed Lan Guoer without any regard for the consequences when she was about to give birth. Later, the whole family moved out of the family compound, and she knew even less about what happened to Lan Guoer afterwards.
As for Lan Guoer's admission to university, she did not doubt that Lan Guoer was quite smart! After all, cheating in the college entrance examination is not easy.
However, she still secretly believed in her heart that Lan Guoer's current situation was mostly due to her having a good husband like Tang Zhan.
Therefore, she could never have imagined that Ye Yuanyuan’s relationship in the Military General Hospital was Lan Guoer herself!
She tried her best to suppress Lan Guoer, and was sure to get the position of study committee member, but she never expected Ye Yuanyuan to appear halfway!
How could she not feel any hatred towards Ye Yuanyuan?
So when Ye Yuanyuan came to invite her, she lied and said she had something to do and declined!
But in her heart, she was thinking that she should go back and contact her lover as soon as possible, so that he could help find out about Ye Yuanyuan and find out who her relatives in the Military General Hospital are.
Ye Yuanyuan actually had the audacity to speak so arrogantly and arbitrarily interfere with the hospital's arrangements for interns.
If she finds out, she will make sure Ye Yuanyuan and her relative are both in big trouble!
Hearing that she had something to do at noon, Ye Yuanyuan naturally couldn't force her.
After school at noon, she called Lan Guoer, Liu Sanmei, Li Caixia and Liu Qiaoqiao and went to the state-owned restaurant near the school.
Liu Sanmei, Liu Qiaoqiao and Li Caixia all came from the countryside. Perhaps they had never been to a state-owned restaurant before, so they were a little afraid to take a step when they reached the door.
"Yuanyuan, I suggest we just eat something in the cafeteria! There's no need to come to this state-owned restaurant. This meal is going to cost so much!"
Liu Sanmei tugged at Ye Yuanyuan's sleeve and advised.
Their class of university students received a living allowance from the government, 23 yuan per person per month, which was not a small amount in those days! If they spent frugally, they could still save some to support their families.
But if they ate at this state-owned restaurant, the five of them would probably spend most of the meal.
Liu Sanmei's family conditions are not good. Her parents are honest farmers, her younger brother and sister are still young, and there are many places in the family that need to spend money. She has been used to saving since she was a child!
Looking at the prices of dishes at the entrance of the restaurant, even though she wasn't asked to spend any money, she looked reluctant as if she was being ripped off!
"Yes! Yes!" Li Caixia also advised!
"This bowl of shredded pork noodles costs 30 cents, which is enough to buy three pounds of white flour! It's too expensive, too expensive! Let's go back to the cafeteria to eat. I think the food in the school cafeteria is also delicious and cheaper than here!"
Liu Qiaoqiao looked at the small blackboard at the door and began to drool.
The braised pork in the state-owned restaurant is famous for its deliciousness. There are also braised fish, boiled meatballs, and meat buns. When she was in her hometown, she only heard people in the village talk about them, but she never had the chance to taste them!
How could she eat this in the school cafeteria? Even if she could, she wouldn't be willing to spend the money!
It was a rare occasion for someone to treat her to a meal, and she didn't want to just leave like that.
But seeing that everyone was persuading Ye Yuanyuan to go to the cafeteria, she didn't want to go against everyone, so she just responded casually.
In line with the principle of the guest following the host's wishes, Lan Guoer stood by and did not interrupt.
It’s not that she wanted Ye Yuanyuan to spend money, but she thought that since it was her roommates’ first time in Kyoto, there would be nothing wrong in having the opportunity to try the local cuisine.
Today was Ye Yuanyuan's dinner, so she didn't want to take the initiative. She thought that after eating her food today, she could find a way to make up for it in the future! In short, she wouldn't let her treat him in vain!
"Oh! It's just a meal!"
Ye Yuanyuan could naturally see that everyone was worried about her spending money, but since she was not short of money, she was very happy today!
"Don't be polite to me, everyone! Go in later and order whatever you want! Don't let your stomach get spoiled!"
As she spoke, she strode in first.
Liu Sanmei and Li Caixia looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and then followed in.
"Classmate Lan Guoer, your family is from here, so you should know what Kyoto's specialties are, right? I think you'll have to order some food later!"
Liu Qiaoqiao and Lan Guoer walked side by side at the back and spoke softly.
They obviously didn't know that the main purpose of Ye Yuanyuan's treat was to thank Lan Guoer.
But from the way Lan Guoer dresses and her local identity, you can tell that her family background is very good!
Liu Qiaoqiao only ordered a bowl of rice porridge this morning and didn’t even bother to order any dry food!
By this time, I was so hungry that my chest was sticking to my back.
She thought to herself, someone like Lan Guoer would definitely not compromise on food, right?
Someone will eventually order the dishes. If she orders, it will definitely be more sumptuous than what Liu Sanmei and Li Caixia, the two stingy and naive ones, order!
Ye Yuanyuan was the one who was trying to show off and ask for the treat. It was a rare opportunity!
She couldn't treat her stomach badly.
"I've been to several places, and the dishes at state-owned restaurants in various places are generally the same. If you want to talk about Kyoto's specialty, it has to be Kyoto roast duck. When we have the chance in the future, I'll take you there to eat it again!"
In those days, supplies were rationed and capital was in short supply. State-owned restaurants naturally didn't care about special features like they did later. In smaller places, having a meat dish was considered good enough!
Lan Guoer replied with a smile, obviously not noticing her little thoughts.
When Liu Qiaoqiao heard that Lan Guoer wanted to take them to eat Kyoto roast duck, her eyes lit up but she didn't answer, and naturally... she didn't refuse either.
When the two walked into the restaurant, Li Caixia had already taken a table, and Liu Sanmei and Ye Yuanyuan were arguing about something in front of the window.
Seeing them coming in, Ye Yuanyuan waved to them.
"Guo'er, Qiaoqiao! Come quickly, let's see what you want to eat."
As he said this, he pouted and rolled his eyes at Liu Sanmei.
