The people who were chatting and laughing were actually only Zhang Xinxin, Bai Rong and Ruan Mengmeng.
The three people behind were just busy carrying things without saying a word.
He just lowered his head and followed silently.
It was dinner time, and the state-owned restaurant was bustling with activity.
"Find an empty table, sit down first, I'll go over there and take the order!"
Bai Rong pointed to the counter and gave instructions to the rest of the people.
"Auntie, I'll go with you!"
Ruan Mengmeng felt embarrassed to eat for free, so she decided to go with Bai Rong.
"No, I can do it alone!"
Without giving her a chance to explain, Bai Rong refused without even thinking.
Before leaving, she gave Zhang Xinxin a wink, telling them not to follow her.
How could she not know this child?
Be very polite to her, but always rush to pay the bill!
With her around, how could she possibly let a girl pay?
Ruan Mengmeng was being held by Zhang Xinxin and couldn't leave.
Helpless, I could only follow everyone's steps and walk to the other side.
After searching for a long time, several people finally found an empty table in the corner.
The two grown men took off their belongings and put them under the table.
Several people sat down one by one around the table.
After a while, Bai Rong came back.
"There are so many people here, the cooking is a little slow, and we have to wait a while before the food is served!"
She spoke impatiently, but the expression on her face betrayed her.
There were smiles all over her face, and it seemed that she was in a good mood.
"Mom, sit here!"
Zhang Xinxin patted her left side and motioned Bai Rong to sit over there.
"Don't sit down yet. The food will be ready soon and I have to serve it!"
Bai Rong waved her hand and looked towards the kitchen window.
"Kaizi and I will handle the serving of the dishes!"
After putting his things away, Zhang Sinian continued her words.
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the window.
Tian Kai, who was behind, followed closely like a follower.
Seeing that her son insisted on going, Bai Rong no longer insisted.
She walked to the table and sat down next to Zhang Xinxin.
After a while, the two of them took turns coming back with the dishes.
Braised fish, braised pork, tofu and bok choy, stir-fried meat, stir-fried vegetables…
Finally, each person had a bowl of rice.
this……
Ruan Mengmeng didn't expect that Bai Rong was really willing to do it!
There are six people, and she ordered five dishes at once. Can they finish them?
The amount of food these days is not the same as in later generations.
You paid a lot of money, but the food was not that big.
In this era, people are very simple.
The products are all real, not only pure and natural, but also in huge quantities.
They were all big plates, filled to the brim, and it looked like you couldn’t finish them all.
However, Ruan Mengmeng didn't want to say too much about the dishes others ordered, or say anything about the waste.
"What are you all standing there for? Eat it while it's hot!"
As she spoke, Bai Rong picked up a large piece of fish for each of Ruan Mengmeng, Zhang Xinxin and Ruan Zilong.
"Thank you, Auntie. I can do it myself!"
I don’t know if it was because Zhang Xinxin said she liked the fish, so Zhang Sinian placed it in front of her when he brought it to her.
She could reach it just by stretching out her hand.
The group of people spent more than forty minutes eating the meal.
In the end, with these two big men around, not only was there no food left to eat, not even a single hair was left.
After dinner, the two men continued to carry their things, and the group walked towards the ox cart.
I've bought everything, eaten my fill, and have nothing to do, so it's time to go home.
After swaying for more than twenty minutes, the few people finally arrived in front of the ox cart.
The county town is a very small place, and there is not much to see after walking around.
Basically, people come to the county town to buy daily necessities for their homes.
Many people bought things and were reluctant to even eat. They ran back and sat on the ox cart, waiting to return to the village.
When the few people came back, the ox cart was almost full.
It’s definitely not possible to walk back, the distance is too far.
Even if it's a squeeze, you have to sit on it.
After putting all the things in place, several people squeezed in.
There were so many people that there was no room to sit down unless we squeezed together.
This time I sat a little further back because the good spots in the front were all taken by others.
Zhang Daming, who was driving an ox cart, squatted on the side of the road smoking a cigarette, and from time to time, he would glance at the people on the ox cart.
When he came in the morning, he roughly counted them.
At this moment, he was looking to see who was missing?
If everyone is present, he can drive the ox cart back to the village.
"Uncle Damin, the place is full, aren't we leaving yet?"
A man in his forties called out to Zhang Daming.
Looking at the weather, it's not very safe. It's too gloomy.
If it rains heavily someday, everyone in their car will be in trouble.
"We're still missing two people. Wait a few more minutes. If they don't come back, we'll leave!"
Zhang Daming looked up at the sky, which was covered with increasingly thick clouds, and frowned.
I left home too early in the morning. At that time, I couldn't tell whether the weather would be cloudy or sunny.
He didn't remind everyone to come back early.
I guess most people still think that the village ox cart will return to the village at around four o'clock!
After hearing what Zhang Daming said, the man who spoke had no reason to refute.
I could only sit there and wait silently.
After a long time, two people came slowly towards us from a distance.
One was Liu Erniu, who had quarreled with Bai Rong in the morning, and the other was also a woman, but Ruan Mengmeng did not know her.
The two men were of similar age, and both were carrying a large backpack.
They talked and laughed as they walked.
"Liu Erniu, Bai Xueping, can you two hurry up? It's about to rain, and you're still in the mood to chat and laugh!"
A young man on the ox cart couldn't bear to watch it anymore and shouted loudly.
"Uncle Damin hasn't said anything yet. When will it be your turn? You're meddling in other people's business!"
Liu Erniu didn't care about anything and just retorted directly.
"You came back so late and wasted everyone's time, and you still think you're right, you..."
The young man was not convinced and immediately argued with her.
After hearing this, Bai Xueping, who was with her, was about to join in.
Zhang Daming, who was squatting on the side of the road, slowly stood up.
He tapped his pipe to stop the quarrel between the two people.
"Okay, now that we're back, get on it quickly. We'll be back to the village soon!"
This woman has so many things going on.
They were arguing when I came and they were still arguing when I left. It was so annoying.
If they were not from the same village, he would not have waited for them.
