"Well, thank you, auntie."
"Xiao Xin, I saw you standing at the door of the restaurant just now. Do you want to eat out? Come on, auntie will treat you to a meal. The braised spare ribs in this restaurant are delicious. Let's order some braised spare ribs." Liu Yumei said enthusiastically, holding Xu Zhixin's hand and heading towards the state-owned restaurant opposite.
Xu Zhixin didn't expect that she would treat her to a meal. She was a little surprised. After being surprised, she hurriedly shook her head: "How can I be so embarrassed..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? I've already said that we'll be real relatives from now on. I'm your aunt, so isn't it my duty to treat you to a meal?" Liu Yumei had a kind smile on her face and dragged Xu Zhixin to the state-owned restaurant.
Liu Yumei was so nice and generous to Xu Zhixin because she thought that the job Xu Zhixin gave her was really good. Not only would her son be able to work in an office as soon as he entered the pesticide factory, but she had also heard from others that the minimum salary for working in an office at the pesticide factory was 38.5 yuan.
If my son works for more than a year, he will be able to earn enough money to buy Xu Zhixin a job.
In the future, when my son gets promoted and becomes a small cadre, his salary will be higher.
Xu Zhixin's father's job means he can spend seven or eight hundred dollars on things, which is always a good deal.
Therefore, since Liu Baiwu bought the job from Xu Zhixin, our family was the one that got the better deal.
So it’s only right to be nice to Xu Zhixin and treat her to a meal next time.
He is also nice to Xu Zhixin. If anyone else knew that Xu Zhixin wanted to sell her father's job and was willing to pay a higher price than himself, Xu Zhixin would feel embarrassed to sell it. She thought that in return for his kindness to her, she would only sell the job to her.
Seeing that they had been dragged into the restaurant, Xu Zhixin knew that Liu Yumei really wanted to treat her to a meal, so she thought she should just accept her kindness and let her treat her to a meal.
Xu Zhixin looked around the restaurant curiously and found that the restaurant at that time was rather simple, and quite similar to the ones in period dramas. Ordering dishes was also like in period dramas, where the restaurant would write down today's offerings on the blackboard. You would look at what you wanted to eat, tell the restaurant staff, and then pay for the ticket.
Liu Yumei ordered a braised pork ribs, a stir-fried cabbage, and a pound of rice, which cost fifty cents in total: thirty cents for the braised pork ribs, ten cents for the stir-fried cabbage, and ten cents for the pound of rice. However, in addition to paying fifty cents, she also had to pay two pounds of food coupons.
Xu Zhixin did not dislike Liu Yumei for only ordering two dishes, or thought that Liu Yumei was stingy.
She knew that when people went to a restaurant at this time, they usually only ordered one or two dishes.
Even though Liu Yumei ordered a braised pork rib, a stir-fried cabbage, and a pound of rice, she only spent 50 cents and two pounds of food coupons. You have to know that 50 cents could buy a lot of things at that time, it was a lot, and one person did not have many food coupons.
At that time, the country was implementing a planned economy, and grain was supplied in limited quantities. Moreover, grain could only be purchased with grain coupons and grain books. A person was only supplied with 25 kilograms of grain per month, so two kilograms of grain coupons were a lot.
So Liu Yumei was not only not stingy, but also generous, which was why she took out fifty cents and two kilograms of food coupons to treat her to dinner.
Xu Zhixin has a better impression of Liu Yumei.
