No one spoke anymore. As the car wobbled all the way to the town, Qin Baoer insisted on going to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
And today happens to be the day when the tractor comes to town
Tang Lan carried Shu Ningya on her back, Shu Yue carried a lot of bags, and Qin Baoer walked into the state-owned restaurant empty-handed.
Qin Baoer has been in the county town for nearly half a month, and her biggest improvement is that she can read the menu.
Looking at the supply menu hanging on the wall, she didn't feel sorry at all and ordered two servings of braised pork, one serving of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and half a pound of corn rice. This was the amount for her alone, and she didn't care about the other things.
Shu Yue reluctantly paid for the tickets. In the past half month, she had already spent her one year's savings. The tickets she was using now were bought at a high price on the black market.
Shu Yue knew Qin Baoer's personality well, and knew that this was her own amount, so she ordered three bowls of plain noodles made from two-grain noodles.
This action made Shu Ninya jealous again. This was obvious discrimination, and she was a wounded soldier.
Su Ningya glanced at Shu Yue, and a feeling of disgust came from within. No matter how good they were to you on the surface, they treated you differently in actual actions.
Qin Shuwan also came to the town with her aunt today. Her aunt took eggs to the purchasing station to exchange for money, and Qin Shuwan came to the post office to collect her manuscript fee.
"Aunt, are you hungry?"
Cao Meihua carried a backpack, held her niece in one hand, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? I brought some bread with me because I knew you would be hungry. Fortunately, I was prepared." As she spoke, she was about to put down the backpack to get the bread.
Qin Shuwan quickly stopped her, "Hehe, I just received my royalties today, I'm going to treat my aunt to a meal."
"That won't do. It's not easy for you to earn royalties. You write them word by word, and it takes a lot of effort on your brain and hands. It's so hard. Let's save it. It's not worth spending it on my aunt."
Qin Shuwan simply grabbed Cao Meihua's hand and walked towards the state-owned restaurant, "Why is it not worth it? You are my only aunt, and you don't allow me to show my filial piety to you!
Let's go! I heard my grandparents chatting a few days ago. My grandma told my grandpa that she missed the braised pork he made.
We can't buy meat, let's try our luck at the state-owned restaurant. If there's any, I'll pack some for grandma. I've even brought a lunch box.
Aunt, we have to hurry up, if we go too late, it might be gone."
"Okay, okay, don't pull me. If you fall, look at the road ahead."
When the two of them arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Qin Shuwan's eyes first fell on the hanging menu.
He was even more extravagant than Qin Baoer. He ordered three servings of braised pork, one to eat here and two to take away. He also ordered a stewed chicken with mushrooms and half a pound of corn rice. He paid the bill without hesitation.
Cao Meihua was twitching with grief as she watched this, but at the same time, she felt very warm in her heart. It was hard not to feel love for such a filial and caring daughter.
