Lu Zhian walked forward, bent down, and took the bucket from Chen Qingyun's hand.
“Bang!”
Chen Qingyun slapped Lu Zhian's hand away.
Yao Qiyue felt pain at the sound.
"Why do you think I'm too old to carry water?"
"I told you that when I was carrying fifty kilograms of supplies to join the war, you didn't even know where to play in the mud?"
Lu Zhian rubbed his red hands awkwardly and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, when you participated in the Anti-Japanese War, I was studying and not playing in the mud."
Old man Chen choked on his somewhat smug expression, and looked at Lu Zhian with disgust on his face.
He waved his hand impatiently: "You are just an idiot, I don't care what you were doing at that time..."
"Anyway, I don't need your help!"
Lu Zhian obediently took two steps back and patted Jiang Ye's arm.
"Uncle, let Jiang Ye help you fetch water. He's young and strong..."
Jiang Ye also obeyed, took two steps forward, drew a bucket of water from the well and poured it into Chen Qingyun's bucket.
He also carried the bucket into the main room.
Chen Qingyun crossed his arms and glared at Lu Zhian and Du Yun who was smiling beside him.
"Uncle, come with us to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."
"They're making braised pork elbow and white flour buns for lunch today."
Du Yun comforted Chen Qingyun, who was about to become angry like a puffer fish.
Yao Qiyue held Xiaobao's hand and watched Chen Qingyun lose his temper.
"Okay, consider this your apology for today's elbow."
"I won't bother with you youngsters. You're all over fifty and still no better than children."
Du Yun smiled and replied, "I'm forty-six this year, still a long way from fifty!"
Chen Qingyun: “…”
His eyes were rolling up to the sky. He turned back to the house and put on a black coat.
He said to Yao Qiyue, the only person he liked in the yard, "Let's go to the nearest state-owned restaurant."
When Yao Qiyue saw Chen Qingyun, who seemed to have a bad temper, took the initiative to talk to her, she was actually a little surprised for a moment.
After Chen Qingyun finished speaking, he ignored Lu Zhian and his wife, turned around and walked out of the yard.
Du Yun patted Yao Qiyue on the shoulder: "Follow Grandpa Chen, he likes you very much."
"Since you guys live close to each other, you can help each other."
"His yard was deserted, with few people coming here on weekdays. But now that you've moved in, it's become much more lively."
Yao Qiyue raised her eyebrows, bent down, picked up Xiaobao and followed.
"Don't worry, Master's wife, our family will definitely take good care of Grandpa Chen."
Du Yun was extremely happy to see the flamboyant Yao Qiyue.
"Okay, then I'll leave Master's Wife to you."
It only took them about ten minutes to walk to the state-owned hotel. The state-owned hotel in Beijing looked much more imposing than the one in South City.
It is a detached two-story building.
Chen Qingyun is very familiar with it, after all, he has a lot of pensions and retirement funds to use.
He led Yao Qiuyue and her family inside as if they were familiar with the place. He went straight to the second floor. Unlike the first floor, the second floor did not have only a hall. The empty space was filled with seven or eight large round tables.
The second floor is more like a private room, with separate spaces.
Today's meals in the state-owned restaurant are written on a small blackboard at the entrance.
Yao Qiuyue glanced at today's menu, which included braised pork elbow, roast duck, stir-fried mushrooms and stewed tofu, and the staple food was white flour buns.
Du Yun booked a table at the state-owned restaurant, and just as he was done, a staff member in white work clothes came up to him and asked what he wanted to order.
Chen Qingyun waved his hand and said, "Bring out all the dishes. Ten steamed buns first."
Jiang Ye silently calculated the money her family had in her mind. This meal cost as much as the rent for her family of three.
Fortunately, he received 25 yuan in royalties from the book he had just translated, so he could still afford to eat.
If he can write a paper after returning, he can join Professor Lu's laboratory and get a formal salary.
He thought about it carefully and felt relieved that he could afford the meal.
Yao Qiyue doesn't have to think about it at all, she is very rich now.
Not to mention that Jiang's mother compensated her for three years of pension and food coupons, she also gave Jiang's father 200 yuan.
She had cheated Lin Wanru's parents out of 1,600 yuan, and now she was definitely a wealthy woman.
There were many more people coming to the state-owned restaurant to eat than Yao Qiuyue had imagined.
Many people call their friends to have a meal here, although this meal seems to be enough for an ordinary family to eat for half a month.
Yao Qiyue couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed the capital of the country.
People here dress more fashionably, at least much brighter than the gray hair and clothes in South City.
Men mostly wear white shirts with jackets on top, while women's clothing is more colorful, with many wearing floral shirts.
Even Du Yun next to her was wearing a cheongsam with a long jacket.
Yao Qiyue looked down at the clothes worn by the family of three, which were somewhat too simple.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye at the entrance of the state-owned hotel.
Chen Qingyun threw two keys to Yao Qiyue and left.
Yao Qiyue took Xiaobao and Jiang Ye to the department store.
The department store has a wide variety of merchandise.
Yao Qiuyue's shopping desire was aroused at once. The department store here had a lot of fashionable goods, even coffee could be bought, but it required a foreign exchange bill.
Yao Qiyue didn't...
