Chapter 108: Mr. Lin, a meat lover
At lunch time, Lin Yiyi went to the cafeteria with Zhao Sheng. She was stunned by the huge crowds. There were at least several thousand people. Her usual time of going in and out really perfectly avoided the morning rush hour.
Zhao Sheng took the lunch box and meal ticket, found an empty seat for her, and let Lin Yiyi take it. He squeezed into the crowd to take advantage of his height, and before long he had bought the food and brought it over.
In the past, Zhao Sheng always took his meals home to eat, but today he brought her to the cafeteria. Lin Yiyi felt a little strange and looked at the man in confusion, "Why do you want to eat in the cafeteria today?"
Zhao Sheng didn't tell her, and she couldn't figure it out. She just felt like she had become someone's dinner drama, and people around them kept looking in their direction.
Today is Wednesday, the best day for food in the cafeteria. There are braised pork, braised fish, scrambled eggs, stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns, noodles and rice. Lin Yiyi doesn't know that Zhao Sheng knows the cafeteria's daily menu by heart, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her here for a good meal.
The food portions in the factory are larger than those in state-owned restaurants outside, and the prices are more affordable.
Anyone who doesn't come is a fool.
Zhao Sheng's three large lunch boxes were all full. Except for the braised fish, he had almost all the dishes in the cafeteria. He used the two chopsticks in his hand to string three steamed buns each, and used the lunch box lid to scoop out a few ounces of rice.
Men are used to eating pasta, and rice is mainly for lazy people. Seeing that Lin Yiyi rarely picked up her chopsticks every time she ate fish, I thought she might not like it very much so I didn't buy it.
I was afraid that she would cry again if she ate vegetable leaves, so I basically only served meat.
Seeing that both of his hands were full of food, Lin Yiyi wanted to help him, but the man only asked her to take the lid of the rice box. The others were too hot and he was afraid that she would not be able to catch them and would spill them.
None of the employees in the entire factory buys as much as Zhao Sheng. Basically, they are satisfied with one or two dishes with steamed buns or rice.
Lin Yiyi looked at so much food and was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to finish it. There was also too much rice, which was not piled loosely but compacted.
"If you can't finish it, give it to me. Sit down."
Zhao Sheng knew what she was going to say when he saw her staring at the rice with wide eyes. He opened the lids of the other two lunch boxes with one hand, put the steamed buns on the lids, and took out a rice spoon wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to Lin Yiyi.
Could it be the handkerchief he used to wrap the money?
Receiving Lin Yiyi's disgusted look, Zhao Sheng glared at her and frowned, "It's clean."
From the moment they entered the cafeteria to the moment they sat down to eat, everyone around them was looking at them.
The transport team's popular bachelor came to dinner with his beautiful young wife.
There are thousands of people in the factory, but there are only 30 men in the transport team with the highest salary. Who wouldn't know them wherever they go?
How could they not be curious? The man was wearing a coarse old thin jacket, dark and tall, and a pair of black cloth shoes, with a bandit-like air. The woman was so white and eye-catching that it could make people stare straight. Sitting in this huge crowd of dark-colored people, the strong contrast between the bright colors and the difference between the men was an indescribable harmony.
"Why are they always looking at us?" Lin Yiyi was holding a rice spoon and waiting for Zhao Sheng to pick up some food for her. She looked around and saw the person whose eyes met hers. He immediately turned his head to talk to the person next to him, pretending not to look at her.
"I guess they think you're stupid." Zhao Sheng teased her deliberately, and then said seriously, "Eat quickly, it will get cold soon. After you eat, I'll take you to find your way. After that, I have to come back to work."
Lin Yiyi pouted and snorted, ordering someone to pick meat for her. She didn't know if this guy had bad intentions. They were clearly eating with two people, but he only brought one pair of chopsticks.
She didn't want to use the rice spoon that had been in her mouth to dig into the dish, as it was covered with rice.
Zhao Sheng was afraid that she would eat too little and complain that he didn't give her meat, so he picked up two pieces of meat and asked her to eat them with half a spoonful of rice.
The man tried his best to give her all the good meat in the lunch box. He would bite off the skin from the bad parts and then give them to her, which made Lin Yiyi shake her head in disgust. Is Zhao Sheng treating her like a child?
But she still ate it in the end. It’s not like she could eat meat every day. Zhao Sheng even fed Lin Yiyi her favorite steamed bun skin in the middle of the meal.
Lin Yiyi thought that he still had work to do in the afternoon, and would have to take time to take her to the bookstore after dinner. Probably because he was afraid that there would not be enough time at noon, he kept picking food for her and silently urged her to eat faster.
Not wanting to delay Zhao Sheng from going to work, Lin Yiyi ate with big mouthfuls, her cheeks puffed up.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Zhao Sheng had a smile on his face and his eyes were gentle. His eyes were only gentler when he saw her, which was different from the way he looked at others.
When he was with her, he always smiled the most.
Even if I do nothing, I can't stop feeling happy.
The girl who just made eye contact with Lin Yiyi was accountant Jiang Hongqing. She had always thought that Zhao Sheng was somewhat interested in her, so she was waiting for the man to take the initiative.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng got married in the blink of an eye. When her colleague Guo Xiaoxia told her, she didn't believe it. Now seeing that the newlyweds are so well-matched, her face turned grim.
Jiang Hongqing thought she was pretty and had a formal job, so she had high standards and was picky. As time passed, she grew older. The people she liked looked down on her, and the people who liked her, she didn't like. She lived in this state of being neither high nor low, and she was almost 22 years old.
Her family was becoming more and more anxious, and kept urging her to get married and stop having high demands, but she just didn't want to compromise herself. She just wanted to marry a man who was good-looking, capable, and loved her. As for these requirements, Jiang Hongqing thought she was not too high.
She totally deserves it, but unfortunately no one understands her.
As her friend, Guo Xiaoxia couldn't help but persuade her when she saw her like this: "Hongqing, you should go on a blind date. You can't afford to delay like this."
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zhao Sheng had no interest in her. They only talked a few words to each other during their monthly salary, and it was unknown how Jiang Hongqing thought that he liked her.
Jiang Hongqing didn't expect that Guo Xiaoxia, her good friend, didn't understand her. She got angry and said, "You are like this too. You don't understand what free love is."
Jiang Hongqing felt like she was abandoned by the world and no one understood her. She picked up her lunch box and ran out of the cafeteria.
After lunch, Zhao Sheng rode a borrowed bicycle to take Lin Yiyi to the city center, Xinmin Bookstore.
I took her to get a temporary work badge, which was done in a few minutes, and he told her clearly where to take the bus and where to get off.
After arranging everything, Zhao Sheng sent Lin Yiyi home, gave her a few words of advice and watched her go upstairs, then rode away on his bike.
