I don’t know how many years it took to save so many tickets, but looking at the shabby clothes on his body and the tight rags on his balls, Xiuxiu felt that he had to spend the tickets.

The total of six cloth tickets can buy [-] feet of cloth, which is enough to make clothes for adults and children for a year. The money needed is not much. Xiuxiu calculated the size and bought cotton thread and a needle box. This is enough to make up for it. Done.

Xiuxiu became serious and very cautious and meticulous. Zhang Jiancheng could not stop her, so he waited quietly for her to finish the fabrics, and then took her to buy a flashlight. Xiuxiu refused to let her buy it, but Zhang Jiancheng insisted that he wanted to give it to her. The family bought it for convenience at night, so Xiuxiu was forced to reluctantly give the money.

Finally, I went to buy food. During the lean period, supplies were scarce. Xiuxiu's idea of ​​adding some food might have to wait another month to realize it.

After leaving the store, Zhang Jiancheng walked in front carrying his child and carrying food. Xiu Xiu walked behind carrying a bundle of cloth and couldn't help but look at his back. He had a tall and straight temperament, and his long legs alternately stepped forward, inadvertently revealing a hint of aura. The stock is strong and positive.

Dandan lay on his broad shoulders, babbling and looking at the colorful world. Xiuxiu thought, what a good father and son they are!

As she walked, she saw Zhang Jiancheng stopped and turned around to enter a state-owned hotel. Xiuxiu saw that this was the only state-owned hotel in the commune. How much food stamps and money would it cost to enter? She took two steps and grabbed Zhang Jiancheng. clothes: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Jiancheng stopped, turned around and said, "Eat!"

Only then did Xiuxiu feel a little hungry. She glanced up at the sun. It was indeed noon, but she was short of money. This state-owned hotel belonged to

It's a bit extravagant.

"Just go in and get some hot water to make milk powder for Dandan. I also brought pancakes!" Xiuxiu said and hurriedly went to dig through the daily bag he was carrying.

Zhang Jiancheng avoided and said, "Brother Xiaosheng and I have an appointment here! Invite him to dinner!"

Xiuxiu paused. It turned out that she came to this state-owned hotel to express her gratitude. If Zhao Xiaosheng hadn't been busy running around for him all day last time, Zhang Jiancheng would not have been released so quickly and escaped smoothly. If you are in jail, you should be treated to a meal.

In this case, Xiuxiu couldn't stop him anymore, so she lowered her head and followed him into the hotel.

The state-owned hotel in the 70s had a large hall with a cement-paved floor and about a dozen groups of Eight Immortals tables and long benches. There were yellowed big-character posters on the brick walls. It was just noon and only people were sitting inside. Two tables were occupied.

Xiuxiu still has a little impression of this place. After Cheng Guoqiang's university notice came out, Cheng's father took them here to eat. He can't remember exactly what they ate. In his memory, there were several home-cooked dishes with some meat. , usually not enough to eat anyway, so Xiu Xiu, who was married from the poor, diligent and frugal Feng family, was deeply moved.

One meal can move her to work hard in the Cheng family. Now think about it, when I had a shallow education and simple experience, my vision was so narrow that I didn't understand the meaning of long-term happiness in life.

Not long after we sat down, Zhao Xiaosheng came over, rolling up his sleeves and looking like he was dusty.

He sat opposite Xiuxiu and took the water from Zhang Jiancheng. He asked Xiuxiu if things were done. When Xiuxiu nodded in response, the waiter put the order paper in front of Zhang Jiancheng and said, "Fire the table for you."

Yes! "Just left.

In this era, waiters in state-owned hotels were working for the government. They were very tough and had no sense of service at all. In addition, she was extremely strapped for money, so Xiu Xiu felt particularly reserved.

Zhao Xiaosheng was quite familiar with it: "Hey! You've ordered everything!" Then, he picked up the order paper and read it while frowning and muttering: "Sauteed mutton with green onions, braised pork vermicelli, and iron pot tofu!"

Xiuxiu's face turned pale when she heard the names of these dishes.

Zhao Xiaosheng even slapped the paper on the table and scolded: "Brother, quit now, this is too expensive, only the chief can afford this dish!"

While scolding, Zhao Xiaosheng raised his hand and called to the counter in a loud voice: "Waiter, just three bowls of noodles!" After speaking, he looked at Xiuxiu and added: "One more for my sister and my child." A plate of scrambled eggs!”

The waiter's expression at the counter immediately turned stinking worse than shit. He picked up the menu and walked straight over. Zhang Jiancheng raised his hand and waved, then raised his head towards the kitchen. The waiter understood and went directly to the kitchen to serve the dishes. .

"I can't retreat!" Zhang Jiancheng held his balls in his arms, restrained the baby's erratic little hands, poured water for each of the three of them, and said: "I came to order yesterday, and the money has been paid. The mutton was specially ordered with them! "

"You..." Zhao Xiaosheng was a little angry, but after looking at his smacking little front teeth, he endured it and said in a low voice: "Are you crazy? If I don't have enough food, I won't be your brother." Yeah!"

"I'm willing to invite you!" Zhang Jiancheng put the small wine bottle on the table in front of him: "You drink, and I'll drive when you get back!"

"Don't drink!" Zhao Xiaosheng pushed the bottle away and pointed at

His nose said: "I really want to beat you! The salary earned in the army is not enough for you to do this!"

"Next time you save my life, I can still ask for it!" Zhang Jiancheng raised his chin: "I can afford it!"

Zhao Xiaosheng said "poof" to the side: "Can there be a next time?!"

While he was talking, the dishes were already on the table. Zhang Jiancheng picked up his chopsticks and put a big pile of fried lamb with onions into Xiuxiu's bowl: "Eat it!"

Zhao Xiaosheng squinted his eyes, crossed his arms, and joked: "Oh! You are specially rewarding girls! I have taken advantage of girls!"

Zhang Jiancheng put a large piece of it into Zhao Xiaosheng's bowl and said calmly: "Eat!"

"Oh my brother..." Zhao Xiaosheng sighed, poked his chopsticks, lowered his head and took a big mouthful of meat. He glanced at the girl opposite him who lowered his head silently, with tears falling down. Zhao Xiaosheng was dumbfounded: " Girl, what are you...why are you crying!"

Xiuxiu wiped her face quickly and smiled reluctantly: "Brother! I'm not crying! It just smells too good! It's too expensive!" As she said that, she pretended to take the balls.

Zhao Xiaosheng clicked his tongue and said, "Oh, what are you afraid of? He even said he can afford it!"

Zhang Jiancheng didn't give her the child. He raised his hand and pushed the bowl towards her: "Don't worry about the eggs, you eat first!"

Xiu Xiu looked down at the food on the table again. If compared to her previous life, she had indeed not eaten a full meal in the time since her rebirth. But this was not the reason why her nose was sore and her eyes were hot. She was just moved by this. The delicious food touched a painful point in my heart.

I feel distressed for no reason, and I don’t know what is distressing in my heart. It may be that I feel sorry for my past life, or it may be that I feel distressed.

I feel sorry for Zhang Jiancheng's ill-fated fate, or maybe I feel sorry for the pain of this era.

She picked up the chopsticks, put a little bit of meat in her mouth, chewed and sniffed: "It's delicious!" She looked at the person opposite with tears in her eyes: "Brother Xiaosheng, when we get rich in the future, none of us can Forgot about this meal..."

Zhao Xiaosheng was a little confused by the tearful look of the girl opposite him. He couldn't help but pick up some meat and put it in her bowl: "Hey, if you have this meal, it will be delicious. We farmers can still have money." Where to go!”
