The salesperson quickly paid her.

Any extra second would be disrespectful to Apple.

As soon as Xu Niannian left, she picked up the big apple and smelled it.

A fresh scent of apple, the whole apple is red with a little yellow occasionally, it looks very sweet and as fresh as if it was just picked from the tree.

After smelling it, I carefully put it in my bag and waited to share it with my old mother when I got home. Then I could cheat some pocket money.

Xu Niannian went from the cloth counter to the snack counter and bought a pound of egg cake. He originally wanted to buy pork belly, but it was sold out, so he could only buy two pounds of pork ribs.

After buying some food, I touched my stomach. It was already 12 o'clock and I was really hungry.

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he threw a piece of cloth into the space, and then walked towards the state-owned hotel opposite the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as I arrived at the state-owned restaurant, I walked to the window and ordered a dish of braised pork, a portion of rice, and a plate of stir-fried green beans.

After paying the money and giving the ticket, I found a place to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, she saw several other educated youth. The moment she looked over there, Gao Jialong also looked over there, and their eyes met in the air.

Gao Jialong greeted her:

"Come and eat here?"

He likes the spicy chili pepper one.

As expected, Xu Niannian refused without giving any face:

"No, I eat slowly."

Just kidding, they only ordered noodles. If I go over and take a bite of my braised pork and a handful of green beans, will it be enough for me?

She is not stupid and she knows how to settle accounts.

Before the food was served, she saw people at the next table eating big meat buns. She was drooling just looking at them. She forgot to order big meat buns, so she would definitely order a few big meat buns when she got back and throw them into the space to eat at will.

Not long after, her hot meal was served.

The shiny braised pork was placed on the plate. It was chewy and soft. She didn't care about the heat and put it into her mouth impatiently.

It was indeed much more delicious than the pre-prepared dishes of later generations, full of wok flavor, and the body was very thin.

She didn't have to think about losing weight at all. She just took a bite of the braised pork and a mouthful of rice and started eating.

The soup of the braised pork is also the focus. Put a piece of braised pork on it, mash it with a spoon, and eat it with rice.

The educated youth at the next table were stunned and felt that the noodles in their bowls were no longer fragrant. Someone swallowed his saliva, and everyone else followed suit.

Shen Tingting suggested weakly:

"Why don't we buy some braised pork, it looks delicious."

It's really strange. Logically, the two families have similar conditions, and the Xu family favors boys over girls. Yet Xu Niannian eats so well in the countryside and even has apples to eat on the way.

She thought about it and concluded that it was the man's fault.

Yes, the Xu family couldn't give her money. Where could she get the money from? It had to be from her military officer fiancé.

She has all the good things going for her. Her looks and job are more than enough for Xu Niannian, and she is also so generous. Where can you find such a good partner?

The others didn't respond. They ordered a few pieces of braised pork. What if they were not divided equally?

Just when everyone was silent, Gao Jialong shouted to the waiter:

"I want some braised pork here."

Then he said to the other educated youth:

"It's okay. I'll treat you guys."

Song Qianjin rolled his eyes at him in his heart, "Damn it, he's pretending again."

Only Gu Jia noticed that she bought cloth today, and seemed to have some meat. It seemed that her family conditions were similar to hers, but she was just more low-key.

Unfortunately, the waiter didn't indulge Gao Jialong:

"Order your food here."

Gao Jialong was speechless for a moment. He failed to pretend to be so powerful, but Xu Niannian didn't notice that he had done this.

After she finished eating in no time, she went to the window and asked for ten large meat buns, which she wanted to put in her space and eat slowly.

The meat buns were all steamed and were packed in a few oil paper bags for her. She took them with her and left.

He found a place and threw the meat bun into the space.

She looked at the time and it was only one o'clock. She hesitated whether she should go and report to her fiancé that she was safe. After all, he was also very worried about this matter.

After hesitating for a while, she finally walked towards the post office.

When she arrived at the post office, she found that there was a phone line and there were several people queuing in front of her. She obediently stood behind them in the queue.

After observing for a while, Xu Niannian discovered that now there are special people guarding the phone. A special person will dial the phone and count the time. If you say hang up, she will hang up immediately.

Looking at the people in front of me, they all hung up as soon as the minute and 59 seconds came, not giving the other party any time to breathe.

It's really decisive, but it leaves some people feeling unsatisfied.

When it was her turn, she handed the number of Lu's father and mother to the operator. After the operator dialed the number, she heard a voice coming from the other end:

"Hello."

Xu Niannian quickly replied:

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Xu Niannian. I'm calling you today to let you know I'm safe."

Mother Lu's tone also softened a bit:

"Niannian, are you used to it over there? If you need anything, tell Huaijin and let him get it for you."

"It's a habit. He has already informed everyone in advance. I am staying at the village chief's house now."

"Okay, be careful, and thank you for the apples you gave us earlier. They are delicious."

What she didn't say was that she felt her old man's legs were much better in the past few days and he walked more easily.

"It's okay. If I had known you liked it, I would have asked Comrade Lu to take some back."

Mother Lu smiled and said, "Why are you still calling me Comrade Lu?"

"Huai Jin has also returned to the army. If you call him now, he may not be there yet. Do you have his army phone number and address?"

"Yes, he left them all for me."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xu Niannian also found out that they would be going to other places for the next period of time and their phone would not be usable.

Xu Niannian asked for the address in detail again.

Finally, I hung up the phone and realized that I had been on the phone for five minutes and 41 seconds. I paid the money honestly.

Thinking of Lu Huaijin, she decided to write a letter, went to the side to buy some stationery, and began to write stroke by stroke.

When I was writing, the image of the other person with broad shoulders and a thin waist, wearing a military uniform, emerged in my mind.

Suddenly I thought of the so-called blind date, catch the big and let go of the small, catch the big and let go of the small.

Just catch the big ones and leave the small ones for others. Hopefully you didn’t catch the wrong ones.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Niannian finished all this and left the post office.

It was about time, so they headed towards the place where the tractor had dropped them off in the morning.

I could hear them arguing from a distance.

Aunt Wang: "People say there are relatives here, maybe they have been sent away a long time ago."

Wang Zhaodi: "It's impossible for her to leave. We saw her having lunch at the State-Owned Hotel at noon."

Aunt Wang snorted coldly:

"It seems that this relative is not that good. She didn't even invite her to dinner. So why are all of us waiting for her? Humph, who knows what kind of relative she is."
