It is said to be a state-run hotel, but it is actually a small restaurant. The decoration is very simple, there are only a few tables and chairs, and the layout is a bit similar to the state-run hotel where Jiang Weiming worked that Jiang Feng saw in Han Guishan's memory, but the state-owned hotel where the old man worked was smaller.

There were no customers in the shop, only a chubby waitress sitting at the table reading the newspaper, and when she heard someone coming in, she didn't look up, and said, "I don't have time to eat now, I'll come back in two hours." ”

"Xiao girl, it's me. Zhao Zaohua said loudly, and Zhao Lanhua followed him with her head down.

"Aunt Zhao is you, this is the person you want to introduce to Master Jiang, you are really good-looking, I will help you call Master Jiang." The fat waiter said enthusiastically.

"Don't bother, I'll just go in and call Xiao Jiang, are they in my family?" Zhao Zaohua asked.

"Now Master Jiang is alone inside, this month's flour and miscellaneous grains have arrived, Master Huang has taken the others to order the goods, and it is estimated that it will take an hour to come back. The fat waiter explained.

Zhao Zaohua thought thoughtfully: "Little girl, when I came here just now, I saw that the South Street was quite lively, it seems that something has happened, why don't you go and take a look?"

The fat waiter heard the song and knew what it meant: "It's a coincidence that I'm tired of reading this newspaper, so I'm going out for a walk." ”

"My niece is afraid of life and thin-skinned. Zhao Zao said.

"My sister was the same when someone introduced me to someone, I know. The fat waiter went out with the newspaper, "Aunt Zhao, I'll be back in an hour." ”

"If it happens, I'll send you two pieces of candy. Zhao Zaohua smiled, "The best kind." ”

As soon as the fat waiter left, Zhao Zaohua said to Zhao Lanhua: "Orchid, Xiao Jiang is estimated to be working inside, you sit here and aunt go in and call him." Xiao Jiang is a real person, and he is willing to work even during work. ”

Don't forget to praise Jiang Weiguo.

"Hmm. Zhao Lanhua sat down obediently and bowed her head to wait for someone.

Jiang Feng did not follow Zhao Zaohua in, but stood beside Zhao Lanhua and observed her expression.

Zhao Lanhua became very nervous from the moment she went out, every movement of her body, every expression, even every pore, and every skin revealed that she was very nervous. Now sitting on the chair, Zhao Lanhua's right foot is trembling unconsciously.

It seems that she is not here for a blind date, but to go through the most important exam in her life.

Soon Jiang Feng heard the footsteps, not only Jiang Feng heard it, but Zhao Lanhua also heard it.

The overlapping footsteps of the two people seemed very mixed, closer and closer, more and more clear, as if they were about to push the door out in the next second.

Zhao Lanhua raised her head even more nervously and stared at the door.

The door opened, and Jiang Weiguo, who was young, walked out in a dark gray work suit, the clothes were very clean and new, but the fact that this was a work uniform could not be changed.

Jiang Feng dared to use his life to guarantee that the clothes Jiang Weiguo was wearing must be the work clothes of the state-run hotel, because Comrade Jiang Jiankang also had a set of work clothes that were very similar to Jiang Weiguo's style, which he had been reluctant to throw away in the closet, and from time to time he had to take them out and compare them on his body.

Jiang Jiankang, who is in his forties, can no longer wear the clothes of his teens.

Looking at each other, Jiang Weiguo looked at Zhao Lanhua, and Zhao Lanhua looked at Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Feng held his breath and stared, his gaze quickly switching back and forth between Zhao Lanhua's face and Jiang Weiguo's face, trying in vain to see their inner thoughts from their expressions.

Zhao Lanhua's gaze was very evasive, looking at Jiang Weiguo's face and looking at other places, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Weiguo's face again, looking at at least three or four places in just a few seconds, and finally fixed her eyes on Jiang Weiguo's shoes.

Jiang Weiguo's gaze was more firm, he didn't look at Zhao Lanhua's face much from beginning to end, and kept staring at Zhao Lanhua's thin bamboo pole-like hands on the table.

Jiang Feng: ?

It only took three seconds to meet, and Jiang Feng saw that this blind date was unusual.

One looks at the shoes, the other looks at the hands, it's really a unique and ingenious blind date!

"Xiao Jiang, did you see the orchid?" Zhao Zaohua also walked out of the door, and saw that Jiang Weiguo and Zhao Lanhua were at least three meters away from each other, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Jiang, this is my distant niece Zhao Lanhua from the same village, isn't she very good, your aunt didn't lie to you, right? Orchid, this is Xiao Jiang I just told you, don't be nervous, what to say." ”

Jiang Weiguo walked quickly to Zhao Lanhua, stretched out his hand and said solemnly: "Hello comrade, my name is Jiang Weiguo, and I am 28 years old this year. ”

Zhao Lanhua hurriedly stretched out her terrifyingly slender hands: "Hello comrade, my name is Zhao Lanhua, this year... He is 17 years old. ”

A handshake brimming with the brilliance of socialism.

The two sat down.

"Don't be so restrained, today is to get to know each other, and talk about what you have. Xiao Jiang, the girl Orchid came out of the village early this morning, first took an ox cart and then a shuttle bus, and fell all the way to the city and now gnawed a corn cob. If you have time, you can make her something to eat, and I'll give you the money when I get back, and I won't keep it, and I'll have to buy cloth." After speaking, Zhao Zaohua also patted Zhao Lanhua's shoulder, gave her an encouraging smile and left.

There was silence in the state-run hotel.

The two of them stared at each other for two minutes, stunned and didn't say a word.

Finally, Jiang Weiguo took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

Zhao Lanhua shook her head again and again, shaking her head like a rattle, because her thin eyes were very big: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I ate corn on the cob when I came out in the morning, but it's bigger, I'm very hungry!"

Jiang Weiguo frowned, and Zhao Lanhua's heart tightened, thinking that she had said something wrong.

"Really not hungry?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

"I'm really not hungry! I'm not hungry at all!" Zhao Lanhua looked firm.

Jiang Weiguo could only give up this topic, and the two fell silent again.

"I ......" Seeing that this blind date was about to go to the worst prediction in her heart, Zhao Lanhua finally couldn't help but open her mouth and said that she had prepared a speech for one night.

"I am from Zhaojia Village, and everyone in our village is surnamed Zhao, and everyone is a relative. According to the genealogy, Aunt Zhao is my aunt. Zhao Lanhua said.

"I know, Master Huang told me about you before. You are the fourth in the family, with an older brother and two sisters on top and two younger sisters below. Your two sisters are married, and you are because your sister-in-law is not in good health, and your sister is too young, and the lack of labor in the family has only dragged on for two years, and you have not said goodbye until now. "Jiang Wei National Road.

Seeing that Jiang Weiguo said all the lines he wanted to say, Zhao Lanhua couldn't say a word for a while.

"Just... That's it. Zhao Lanhua said.

"I'm from Beiping, and I've fled here. Jiang Weiguo began to introduce himself, "There are seven brothers in my family, I am the youngest, and the family members are either missing or dead, and now I am alone." I've been wandering around for a few years.,It's only settled here in the past two years.,Because there's no one to talk to.,I'm older, I hope you don't dislike it.。 ”

"No, no, no. Zhao Lanhua's body movements were to shake her head and bow her head, "We also fled from other places in the village next door a few years ago. No, I mean we've got a lot of people coming from outside. ”

"I know. Jiang Weiguo said, staring at Zhao Lanhua's face, and couldn't help frowning again.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

"No, no, I'm full now, I don't need to eat. Zhao Lanhua not only shook her head this time, but even added a wave of her hand.

"Braised pork, plum cabbage button pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic white meat, sauce wrapped meat?" Every time Jiang Weiguo reported the name of a dish, Zhao Lanhua couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"If you don't want to eat pork, there seems to be fish in the kitchen, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, dry fried fish? I remember that there seems to be half a bag of flour, do you want me to make dumplings for you?" Jiang Weiguo began to report the name of the dish.

Zhao Lanhua, who only nibbled on a corn cob a day, could withstand such a temptation, she seemed to smell meat just by listening to Jiang Weiguo's report on the name of the dish.

"Isn't this bad, I heard that the food in your state-run restaurants is very expensive. Zhao Lanhua tried in vain to make the last struggle.

"It's okay, our regular workers have a certain share of ingredients every month. My share of flour and meat this month is useless, it's enough to cook you two dishes. Jiang Weiguo explained.

"How can you do that? You only have a little bit a month, how can you bring it to me if you don't have enough to eat. You can make me two vegetarian ones, cabbage, tofu and the like, just put more oil, if you have steamed buns, it will be better. Zhao Lanhua's eyes were glowing when she said the word steamed bun.

"Sugan?" Jiang Weiguo's expression was a little strange.

Zhao Lanhua nodded again and again: "Yes, vegetarian! Vegetarian dishes are also very delicious with more oil, and if there are no steamed buns, you can also nest the head." ”

"I went to see what vegetables were in the kitchen. Jiang Weiguo got up, stopped before he could take two steps.

"Do you want to come in together?" Jiang Weiguo felt that it was not good to leave Zhao Lanhua outside alone.

"Is it okay? The kitchen should be where you go to work, isn't it good for me to go in?" Zhao Lanhua was a little worried.

"It's not work time, it's fine. ”

"Oh. Zhao Lanhua obediently followed Jiang Weiguo and walked into the kitchen.
