"Comrade Zhao, you're here."
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Zhao Manman said with an apologetic look on her face.
"No, no, I'm here too early. Well, let's go in first and talk while we eat."
Yu Guangcheng pointed to the state-owned restaurant behind him and said.
Zhao Manman smiled politely and nodded, "Okay."
The two of them entered the state-owned restaurant and came to the counter. Yu Guangcheng pointed to today's menu and asked Zhao Manman, "What do you like to eat?"
Zhao Manman was too embarrassed to order food, so she just smiled and said, "I'm fine with anything, just take your pick."
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Yu Guangcheng did not force her to order, and asked, "Then do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Zhao Manman shook her head, "No."
"Okay then. I'll just watch it."
Yu Guangcheng ordered a braised pork, a green pepper tofu, and a dish of three fresh vegetables. Today, he also ordered a Spanish mackerel, so he ordered another braised Spanish mackerel. Zhao Manman saw that he was going to continue and hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "Comrade Yu, that's enough. The two of us can't eat that much."
Yu Guangcheng saw that he had ordered four buns and thought that was enough, so he didn't continue. He smiled and asked for four more buns.
"It's dinner time now, and I'm afraid there will be too many people outside, so I booked a private room, which is a little quieter."
After ordering the dishes and paying the bills, Yu Guangcheng first took Zhao Manman to the reserved private room and sat her down.
Zhao Manman smiled slightly, thinking that this man was quite considerate and generous. At least her previous blind date had never taken her to a state-owned restaurant.
"You are very thoughtful."
Yu Guangcheng chuckled, "This is our first official meeting, I have to do my best to make sure you eat well."
Zhao Manman chuckled when she heard this, "Have you ever been on a blind date before?"
Yu Guangcheng nodded honestly, "I have met some, all introduced by the aunts and sisters-in-law in the station, but I just felt like we couldn't get along, so I've been single until now."
"I've dated a few, but they all seemed a little off. I heard from Nuannuan that you asked her to find me?"
Yu Guangcheng didn't expect her to be so direct. He nodded a little embarrassedly, "Well, we met before in front of the department store. I have a good impression of you, so I asked my sister-in-law to help ask you."
Normally he had a lot of words to say when doing ideological work for the team members, but now facing Zhao Manman he became a little cautious, fearing that he might say something wrong and make others feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Manman smiled and asked, "We didn't say much at the time. Why did you fall for me?"
"It's just a feeling. I think you're pretty good. You look good and speak well. What do you think of me?"
Yu Guangcheng could more or less tell that she was not the shy type of girl, so he simply asked her directly.
"You seem like a nice person, but I don't know you right now, so I can't say anything."
Zhao Manman felt a little embarrassed when she heard him praising her.
Yu Guangcheng laughed, "It doesn't matter, we can communicate more in the future, and we will understand each other after a long time."
"Um."
Zhao Manman nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Yu Guangcheng was delighted when he saw this. This was a possibility. At least he was not beaten to death with a stick, and they could still keep in touch in the future.
The atmosphere couldn't be dull even before the dishes were served, so Yu Guangcheng continued, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm 23 years old and have been in the army for six years. I'm from Hedong Province and there are five of us in my family. My parents are employees of the steel mill. I have a brother and a sister. My eldest brother is married and also works in the steel mill. My sister is 18 years old and works as a nurse in the hospital. You already know me. I'm currently the instructor of the battalion, with a monthly allowance of 72 yuan, as well as some food coupons and meat coupons. The army will also give you a house when you get married."
