Chapter 50
The last time they were in the cinema, they experienced this scene.
So, when it happened again, Liang Qiurun was well prepared. He covered his eyes so that Jiang Meishu could hardly see anything happening outside.
She could only passively follow Liang Qiurun.
However, it didn't take too long, only three or five seconds. After walking over, Liang Qiurun let go of his hand.
Jiang Meishu suddenly saw light in front of her eyes. She paused and looked at Liang Qiurun, who winked at her.
Fortunately, when they arrived, the waiter greeted them respectfully, "Ma'am, sir, it's right here."
It's a relatively secluded location.
Colorful glass lamps are shining, and there is a white tablecloth with transparent high-heeled glasses and lucky bamboo in the vase.
All of this is not only luxurious, but also modern.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised. "Who designed this place?"
“It’s a bit too brilliant.”
In fact, what she wanted to ask more was whether the person who designed the couple's seats in Lao Mo's restaurant also wore it.
Otherwise, why would this place look so similar to the couple seats in later generations?
"This was designed by our manager's daughter." The waiter was very proud to mention this.
Jiang Meishu said to herself that if conditions allowed, she would definitely meet the other person in the future.
Just, eat first before that.
"Bring us the menu."
Liang Qiurun is very familiar with this place, and can even be said to be very familiar with it. As the factory director, he always has to attend social events.
He also invited factory managers who came to the capital on business trips from other places to visit Lao Mo's restaurant.
After all, in the entire north, only the capital and Heilongjiang Province have Lao Mo restaurants. Not only that, Lao Mo's restaurant is also very famous, and many people are proud to eat at Lao Mo's restaurant.
"Yes, sir."
The waiter handed over thin menus one by one.
Liang Qiurun handed it to Jiang Meishu and asked, "See if there's anything you want to eat?"
Jiang Meishu didn't quite understand any of this, but she just remembered her mother-in-law had recommended it before, "She said cream of mushroom soup was better?"
"Then this is it."
"And one more." She looked at the menu carefully. "One sausage, and another can of braised beef and a tomato and cucumber salad. Oh, and are there any staple foods here?"
She looked for a long time but didn't see any staple food.
"We have cheese and bread and butter here."
A typical Western staple.
Jiang Meishu chose the bread and butter. She handed the menu back to Liang Qiurun and asked, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
She seemed to be accustomed to everything here and was not restrained, inferior or timid.
It can even be said that her attitude was more natural than Liang Qiurun's when she first came here.
This surprised Liang Qiurun a little, but when he thought that she was "Jiang Meilan", it made sense.
It seems as if "Jiang Meilan" should be like this.
She is so young, yet she possesses such a keen political sense. This alone is enough to explain everything.
Liang Qiurun no longer doubted anything, but picked up the menu and said, "I want a cream of tomato soup, and also a can of braised beef."
His stomach may be more suited to Chinese food than trendy Western food.
After he finished ordering, the waiter nodded and wrote down everything. Then, he bowed to the two of them and retreated. "Please wait a moment."
Very polite and courteous.
To be honest, the attitude of the waiters at Lao Mo's restaurant is hundreds of times better than that of the waiters at state-owned restaurants.
Of course.
Working in a state-owned restaurant is a stable job, so it's normal for the waiters to be arrogant.
Lao Mo's restaurant was privately owned in the early years, but later became a public-private partnership. However, the private sector still accounts for the majority, so the attitude of the waiters is also different.
Wait until the waiter leaves.
Jiang Meishu observed her surroundings carefully, "This place is very luxurious."
The hall is magnificent, with golden lights illuminating the entire room. The Western-style tables are separated and covered with white tablecloths, looking high-end and fashionable.
Even the people who were eating around unconsciously lowered their voices a bit.
I was afraid that I was too rude and unworthy of the elegant environment here.
Liang Qiurun nodded. "It's been like this since 1954. It's been over a decade and nothing has changed here."
Jiang Meishu counted on her fingers, "It opened in 1954. I was only six years old at that time."
"And you?"
When Liang Qiurun recalled his youth, it felt like a lifetime ago. "I was seventeen at that time."
He is still a teenager, about the same age as Liang Rui.
But in the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed.
Jiang Meishu looked at the Western-style knife and fork. She opened her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the other person. "You definitely didn't recognize me at that time."
Of course, she didn't know Liang Qiurun either.
Liang Qiurun smiled and said, "That's inevitable."
"When I was young, I was very crazy." It was only after he encountered some problems that his temperament gradually became gentler.
When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were illuminated by the light, and his skin was as smooth as jade, without a trace of grease.
He is elegant and handsome, yet also has a sense of dignity.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "I feel like you're very suitable for this kind of environment."
On the contrary, it was not suitable to follow her to a small shop on the street. Because Liang Qiurun was too outstanding, and with that clean temperament, it seemed as if he was born to go in and out of such a magnificent place.
It suits him very well.
When Liang Qiurun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, because someone had said this a long time ago.
He couldn't know, "There's no such thing as suitable or not."
“There’s only appropriate and inappropriate.”
"It's just a meal, as long as it fills my stomach."
It was clearly the same words, but when they came out of his mouth, they sounded a bit profound.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that Liang Qiurun was a bit like a high monk who had attained enlightenment and was very suitable to preach Buddhism.
However, this was too rude and she couldn't say it again.
Fortunately, the waiter started serving the dishes, and the first one brought over was the tomato and cucumber salad she ordered.
With salad dressing and colorful vegetables, it looks very appetizing.
So, when the dish came, Jiang Meishu didn't hesitate to take a bite and tasted it. "It's delicious."
"But why do they still have cucumbers and tomatoes here?"
Logically speaking, it should have disappeared by winter.
Liang Qiurun also tried it. They were all mixed raw with salad dressing. He felt a little uncomfortable after taking a bite.
"Many of the dishes at Lao Mo's restaurant are sourced from the south."
"As far as I know, there is a carriage from the south to the capital that is specially allocated to Lao Mo's restaurant to transport vegetables."
"Including but not limited to vegetables and seafood."
Of course, it is precisely because Lao Mo Restaurant is willing to spend a lot of money that there is no shortage of customers at Lao Mo Restaurant all year round.
After hearing all this, Jiang Meishu took a deep breath and said, "He is really rich and powerful."
These days, many people may not be able to go to the South in their lifetime.
However, Lao Mo Restaurant has a dedicated line that delivers fresh vegetables and seafood from the south.
Just for this reason, it is no wonder that Lao Mo Restaurant is so popular despite its high prices.
All I can say is you get what you pay for.
Seeing that Liang Qiurun didn't like tomato and cucumber salad, Jiang Meishu ate it non-stop with a crunching sound like a little hamster.
The winter in the capital is so dry and bleak that even eating vegetables is a luxury.
This is the first time Jiang Meishu has eaten cucumbers and tomatoes since she came here.
She had a long-lost feeling.
The freshness of the cucumber and the sweet and sour taste of the tomato stimulated her taste buds and filled her heart little by little.
“It’s delicious.”
Squinting his eyes, he felt very satisfied.
Seeing her like this, Liang Qiurun was a little confused. "These are just some vegetables."
And it’s the most common kind in summer.
Jiang Meishu was very happy with the meal. She shook her head and said, "You don't understand. It's such a blessing to be able to eat summer vegetables in winter."
Liang Qiurun really didn't understand, but she was happy to see her eating.
His brows softened, "Leave some room for something else."
Jiang Meishu hummed.
The waiter served the dishes very quickly, and soon the braised beef in a pot, red sausage, buttered bread and red vegetable soup were all served.
Jiang Meishu tasted them all.
“The braised beef in a pot is good. The beef is well-cooked, very soft, and has absorbed a lot of the soup. It’s delicious.”
"The same goes for the red sausage. The skin is chewy, but the meat inside is fragrant. So fragrant and delicious."
"And this cream of mushroom soup, it surprised me a little bit, it's so smooth and has a creamy aroma, it's even better than borscht."
This is a foodie.
Not only was he not nervous about the environment of Lao Mo's restaurant, but he also started chatting enthusiastically.
Liang Qiurun looked at her with a smile, "You have a powerful mouth."
Jiang Meishu's mouth was stuffed with food. "I'm not exaggerating, but I've been trained to be a very picky person."
Liang Qiurun's gaze lingered on her red, glistening lips for a moment.
"Knowing how to eat is a skill, and it's quite good."
Compliment with a smile, without flattery or fawning.
On the contrary, it is just the right kind of natural.
This made Jiang Meishu extremely happy to get along with him.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Meishu was very happy. She touched her round belly and said, "It's so delicious."
After getting used to eating whole grains at home, anything you eat outside seems to be extremely delicious.
Liang Qiurun sat opposite her, leaning forward, gazing at her slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Are you full?"
Jiang Meishu nodded, "You should ask me if I'm full."
She ate almost the entire meal alone.
Liang Qiurun didn't pick up his chopsticks very often.
There was a hint of coquettishness in her words. Liang Qiurun stared at her intently, which made Jiang Meishu feel embarrassed.
He then retracted his gaze and looked down at his wrist. "It's past seven o'clock. Should we go back?"
Jiang Meishu nodded.
Liang Qiurun then stood up, picked up the clothes on the back of the chair, and casually put them on his wrist. He was tall, and such casual movements also had an indescribable charm.
Jiang Meishu thought to herself that if a person like Liang Qiurun were alive in the future, he would definitely be discovered by a scout.
However, in the 1970s, he could only be Director Liang, who had to work overtime all the time.
"Leave."
Seeing that Jiang Meishu hadn't gotten up yet, Liang Qiurun helped her pick up her coat and said, "You have to put it on. It's very cold outside."
There must be coal burning in Lao Mo's restaurant, so it is very warm inside the house, but it is different outside.
The temperature outside is probably only around 3 or 5 degrees, and with the cold wind, there is definitely a temperature difference of two levels.
Jiang Meishu nodded and followed Liang Qiurun to the door, where the payment was made.
The waiter brought out their menus.
"Sir, that's twelve dollars and thirty cents."
When Jiang Meishu heard the price, she couldn't help but gasp. This was half a month's living expenses for an ordinary person, but at Lao Mo's restaurant, it was just a meal.
While she was sighing, Liang Qiurun had already paid the bill. It was obvious that he was accustomed to the prices of meals at Lao Mo's restaurant.
When I came out, it was almost eight o'clock. The sky outside was gloomy and pitch black.
"I'll take you back."
Liang Qiurun took the car keys and opened the door. After seeing Jiang Meishu get on the passenger seat, he closed the door and went to the driver's seat.
On the way back, it was very dark, so Liang Qiurun turned on the headlights of the car and said, "If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap first. I'll call you when we get there."
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "I'm not sleepy, I just slept in the afternoon."
"If this person eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, what's the difference between him and a pig?"
Although her ideal was to live a life like a pig.
This description was quite interesting. Liang Qiurun smiled and drove steadily until he reached Qudeng Hutong, where he slowly slowed down.
When we got there, it was so dark outside that we couldn't see our hands in front of us.
Even the horn light at the entrance of the alley broke down.
Liang Qiurun left the car's headlights on and decided not to turn them off. He then waved at Jiang Meishu, "Let's go. I'll take you home."
Jiang Meishu originally wanted to say that she didn't need to be sent off, but after getting off the car, she saw that it was pitch black everywhere, so she decisively gave in and followed Liang Qiurun obediently.
The wind in the middle of the alley was quite strong.
She was wearing thick clothes today, so Liang Qiurun turned his head to look at her for a moment. The road was very quiet, with only the sound of the two of them walking.
Under the illumination of the car's headlights, the two figures were stretched out, and as they walked, they overlapped with each other, as if they had merged into one.
Looking at the reflection, Jiang Meishu's face felt inexplicably hot, and even hotter was yet to come.
Liang Qiurun was walking on her left side. As they walked, he suddenly raised his hand and gently grabbed Jiang Meishu's hand.
His hands were dry and broad.
When they touched each other like this, Jiang Meishu felt like she was electrocuted and subconsciously pulled her hand back.
Liang Qiurun paused slightly when he saw her action, then politely withdrew his hand, "Sorry, I was abrupt."
"Jiang Meilan." The voice was low.
Calling her by her full name made Jiang Meishu stunned. She suddenly stopped and said, "Don't call my name."
Liang Qiurun, "Then what are you shouting?"
Jiang Meishu said seriously, "Jiang Jiang."
"Call me Jiang Jiang."
"I want a different name," she insisted. She needed a name that would separate her from her sister.
Under the night sky, the little girl's eyes are brighter than the stars in the sky.
This made Liang Qiurun relax a little, and then he realized the meaning of her words.
He stopped and stared at her sideways, his brows gentle and his voice low, "Jiang Jiang."
"My Jiang Jiang."
