So he immediately said, "Lele, I'll do whatever you say this time we go out!"
He was very self-aware. He had good grades in school, but his performance in life was far from satisfactory.
He didn't consider the consequences at all when making the decision.
That's why he put himself in danger.
This time, if it weren't for the younger sister's skill, the siblings might have really died in this unfamiliar place.
It doesn't matter if he dies, but he doesn't want to implicate his sister.
Furthermore, he doesn't want to die if he can live a good life.
His family is waiting for him to earn money and bring it back; how could he dare to die so easily?
Thinking about what happened today, he still felt lingering fear.
Thinking it over, he looked earnestly at his younger sister, "Lele, if your second brother makes any inappropriate requests in the future, you must never wrong yourself for your second brother's sake."
Huh? Is her second brother starting to reflect on his actions?
"Not bad, not bad, that's a good start," she smiled.
He simply said, "Second Brother, you said that yourself, don't regret it later."
Regret? Perhaps, but he would never blame his sister for refusing.
He believed his sister was more thoughtful than him, which might be related to her extraordinary experiences, but that was a good thing.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "Lele, you can criticize your second brother as much as you want, and he will listen to you."
Liu Shile nodded. Her second brother's attitude was very good. She could spend more time and effort on him in the future.
"Let's go, Second Brother, let's go eat." After confirming again that nothing had been missed, Liu Shile finally spoke.
As soon as she said this, she heard her second brother's stomach growling, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
During this period, the food at home has become increasingly poor, but after she goes out, her second brother always brings her fresh food.
As a result, he got diarrhea from eating it, and he's probably starving by now.
Fortunately, there was a state-run restaurant across the street, so she took her second brother there to eat without thinking twice.
"Hello comrades, what would you like to eat?"
There weren't many people in the shop. As soon as the brother and sister entered, a girl with thick braids greeted them warmly.
Liu Shile looked around and found there was no menu. She just smiled sweetly at her and asked, "Hello, sister, what do you have to eat here?"
She made her skin look whiter this time, which makes her look better than when she was malnourished.
Seeing that she was quite polite, the girl was in a good mood and told her the names of the items served in the shop.
Liu Shile was stunned when she heard this; it was completely different from what she had imagined.
Isn't it said that the food in big cities is better? Why is it all vegetarian?
It didn't even look like it had any white flour buns or noodles?
She asked somewhat reluctantly, "Sister, do you have meat in the shop?"
The girl was a little embarrassed. In the past, there would have been meat available, but not now.
The brother and sister don't seem to be people who can't afford to eat, it's just a pity that they have money, but they have nothing to sell.
She shook her head regretfully, "There are no meat dishes. The only thing that can be considered meat is eggs. I can make you a glass noodle and egg drop soup."
Liu Shile was very sad. Since she came into this world, she had never had a good meal!
Although there are sick people and women in postpartum confinement in the family, we need to stew a chicken and stir-fry some meat from time to time.
But those were for the wounded father and the mother who was in postpartum confinement.
Yes, and the third brother, who is especially favored by Mom, will also get to eat.
Other people, like her eldest sister, second brother, and herself, couldn't eat it because meat and vegetables were limited.
I thought that now that I'm in a big city and have some money, I can finally afford to eat nice meals, but...
"Then please give us three bowls of rice, stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried tofu, and egg drop soup. Thank you, sister."
Seeing that there were really no meat dishes, Liu Shile was in a bad mood and didn't have much of an appetite.
So I just ordered a few dishes casually, consoling myself that at least there was rice, so I could eat more.
She hopes the rice here is plain white rice, not the kind of rice at home that she thinks hasn't even had its husk properly removed.
The girl readily agreed and ran to the window to announce the names of the dishes inside.
Just after I finished reporting, a middle-aged man carrying a load on a shoulder pole and wearing a straw hat came into the shop.
Upon seeing her, the girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she smiled and said, "Uncle Liao, is there something good here?"
Come, come, come with me! We've been waiting for you!
The restaurant hasn't had any meat or vegetables for several days, so there aren't as many customers coming to eat.
Although this is a government business, in theory, whether it's good or bad has little to do with them.
But the process of transferring to public sector jobs has only just begun, and many people haven't quite grasped it yet.
Moreover, now is the time to make contributions, and people are eager to work without sleeping.
So it's not just this girl; even the chef and the former owner of this restaurant were worried about business.
This person had been cooperating with them for quite some time, and each time they would deliver fresh and plump fish.
That's why the girl was so happy to see her; it meant the shop had meat and vegetables again.
After the girl finished speaking, she turned to Liu Shile and his sister and said, "Sister, you have a total of 58 cents here. I have something to do now, but I'll come back to collect the money later!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the two men to respond, she happily led the middle-aged man into the kitchen.
Liu Shi was delighted to see the girl's joyful expression.
That middle-aged man must have brought some good stuff, so they'll be able to eat something nice.
She felt a surge of hope that the girl would come out soon.
"Little sister, didn't we order too much?" Spending 58 cents on a meal is too extravagant!
Less than nine meals a day can cover a semester's tuition!
Although they gained some money as a result of the misfortune, this is not how you spend money!
Liu Shihua believes that all they need is a hot meal.
"Second brother, don't tell me you can't eat two bowls of rice?"
Liu Shile wouldn't answer his question directly; instead, she left it to her second brother to figure out himself.
Liu Shihua was somewhat helpless; it was just two bowls of rice, which he could naturally finish.
The problem is that it's too expensive; he wanted to bring more money home!
But his hunger made him unable to say that he couldn't finish the food.
So they could only remain silent in desperation.
Before long, the man and the girl came out, both looking very happy, as if the deal had been done.
Liu Shile was very happy. After the girl saw the person off and came over to collect the money, she asked, "Sister, do you have meat and vegetables now?"
Liu Shihua's heart was pounding as she listened. No, her sister was planning to order a meat dish too?
"You're such a clever little devil. We just got a few fresh Wuchang fish."
"And our master is an expert at making this dish, would you like to order one?"
Chen Jing found the girl quite interesting, which is why she asked the question.
Liu Shile's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Sister, give us one, how much is it in total?"
