Lin Siya took out two new locks from the space, locked the door to the room and the yard, and went out.
The nearest state-owned restaurant is about twenty minutes' walk away. Maybe it was almost dinner time, so there were still quite a lot of people in the state-owned restaurant.
Although the original body had never been to a state-owned restaurant, Lin Siya was different. After all, she had read a lot of period novels and knew that to eat in a restaurant now, one not only had to spend money, but also needed food coupons. To eat meat, one also needed meat coupons, and she had all of these.
After looking at the layout of the state-owned hotel, I found that it is actually very simple. It is just a lobby with about seven or eight tables. Of course, there are also private rooms, but these private rooms are not accessible to ordinary people. They are usually prepared for people with connections or leaders.
There is a simple cash register on the side of the lobby, and above the cash register are small signs. These are the menus with the names of the dishes written on them, which look clear at a glance.
In addition to these menus, there is a very eye-catching slogan on the left side of the cash register, prohibiting beating or scolding customers. It is really very representative of the era and is very similar to the scenes in the movies she had seen before.
The waiters here have a nice attitude and are quite patient with customers. Lin Siya looked at the small sign above the cash register and felt like she wanted to try every dish, but she was alone and it would not be good to order too much.
Finally, she ordered the most classic braised pork, a dish of braised rapeseed with mushrooms, a dish of seaweed egg drop soup, and two taels of rice as the staple food. The total cost was two yuan and thirty cents, plus food coupons and meat coupons.
After ordering, the waiter gave him a small sign with the number six written on it. When his turn was called, he had to return the sign to the waiter and go get the food himself.
After waiting for about ten minutes, two dishes, one soup and rice were ready. Lin Siya returned the sign to the waiter, took her meal to an empty table and started eating.
As expected, she was not disappointed. The braised pork was soft and sticky. When she took a bite, the aroma of the fat filled her mouth, making her want to eat more.
The fried rapeseed with mushrooms tasted good, and the seaweed egg drop soup was also very delicious. Before she knew it, Lin Siya's stomach was full, but she only ate one-third of the food in front of her. There was no way her original body could eat too much at once because of long-term hunger. Her stomach was very small, so she couldn't eat too much at once. She had to take it slowly. Fortunately, she had the foresight to bring a packed lunch box.
At this time, packing up is a very common behavior and it does not feel embarrassing. After all, in this era of material scarcity, food is very precious.
After packing all the food, Lin Siya prepared to go home with her lunch box. There were still many things waiting for her at home.
When she returned home, it was already dark. She found a light bulb from the space, installed it, pulled the switch, and the whole room lit up.
Lin Siya chose the room where her parents had lived. The originally empty room now had a small bed, a large wardrobe and a table, but nothing else.
Lin Siya found a brand new quilt from the space. This was the dowry that Li Xiaolian had prepared for Lin Nuannuan, and now it was just a good deal for her.
She found a relatively clean quilt to use as a mattress, and spread the four-piece bedding set signed in from the system on it, then Lin Siya went to the kitchen.
An iron pot has been installed on the kitchen stove. Lin Siya drew water from the well in the yard and boiled a large pot of hot water, preparing to do a thorough cleaning today.
Forget about her hair. It's too late to wash it and it won't dry. Besides, her hair is dry and yellow now, and she doesn't want it anymore. She will go to a state-owned barber shop to cut her hair later, wait for it to grow out slowly, and then take good care of it.
After finishing all the work, Lin Siya finally lay down on the bed and sighed comfortably, it really is true that no place is worse than her own doghouse.
After a tiring whole day, Lin Siya fell asleep soon.
The next morning, Lin Siya packed up and went out. She met several neighbors on the way, but in order to maintain her taciturn personality, Lin Siya did not greet them, but just nodded.
Seeing Lin Siya walking away, several neighbors who were sitting there knitting sweaters together began to talk.
"Hey, this girl has finally made it. Now that that family is gone, she looks much better."
"Who said it wasn't? That family is such a piece of shit!"
"This girl has finally found happiness after all the hardship she's endured, but I wonder if her parents' jobs will be returned to her."
"Why, do you have an idea?"
"How can that be? My family is a dual-income family and we don't lack jobs."
"Is there still a lack of work these days?"
"That's right, Ma Dahua, I can hear you bragging from far away."
“Hahahaha~”
“Hahahaha~”
After a burst of laughter, several people started talking again.
"This girl is 17 this year, right?"
"Yeah, didn't she say she hasn't graduated from high school yet? So she doesn't plan to continue studying anymore. She's probably planning to take over her parents' job, right?"
"If I had a job, I'd be able to find a good family."
"Hey, now that you mention it, it's true. I happen to have a nephew from my mother's side, and I can introduce the two of them to each other later."
"Oh, come on, Li Dazui, your nephew doesn't have a formal job and looks big and strong. How can he be worthy of Yaya?"
"What's wrong with my nephew? He's very strong and healthy. This child is like a little girl. My nephew may not even like her."
"Come on, stop trying to match people up, Li Dazui!"
…
Lin Siya didn't know what her neighbors were saying about her, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. As for finding a partner, it was not even within her consideration at the moment.
After all, this body is not yet 18 years old. In the future, at the age of 17, she is still a high school student and is completely a minor. Marriage is too far away for her.
However, people of this era generally get married very early. Lin Siya is not a non-marriage person, nor has she thought that she would become an outsider. If she could meet a suitable person who shares her values, Lin Siya feels that she can consider getting married.
But she will never get married just for the sake of getting married. After all, people who will live together for the rest of their lives must have good values and good looks. However, these are not what she cares about now.
