"I'll fill you with a bottle of pear soup in a while, and when you get back, you can drink it hot yourself." Jiang Zhilian thought for a while, and then said: "If you want to drink it often in the future, when you are free, I will teach you how to cook, which is actually quite simple." ”

"If anyone marries you, they will not be so happy that they can't find the north!" Lin Xiaolu said and picked up the menu at hand and looked at it, and asked casually: "Now the grain, oil, meat, eggs and other things are all available in limited quantities, how did you get these ingredients?" Is there a way? ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Sort of! It's easy to put a little effort into it, and to spend a little more. ”

Lin Xiaolu nodded, "You are a capable person, this little thing will not be difficult for you." ”

Jiang Zhilian smiled faintly, is it difficult, I only knew it after I did it myself!

Now there are state-run restaurants everywhere, and there are relatively few ordinary people who open restaurants individually.

After all, nowadays self-employed people have no status, and everyone has sharpened their heads to enter formal units and state-owned factories.

Those who eat commercial grain are superior to others.

This is an era in which status and status are more important than money.

Jiang Zhilian learned that many small shops have been squeezed by various intentional or unintentional factors, coupled with lack of experience, so it is difficult to open.

Between individual restaurants, it is quite powerful to grab customers.

For example, when you encounter an opponent like Yang Ji, unless you have the means, you are bound to make way for others.

It's not easy to survive!

Lin Xiaolu thinks it's safer to find an iron rice bowl, it really doesn't matter, it's not patient, I can't hold an iron rice bowl, at least I have to find a reliable job.

She has finally become a foreman now, and she must work hard at the Friendship Hotel and strive to be promoted to manager as soon as possible. Save more money and take good care of your mother and brother, so that their family can live a solid and comfortable life.

Jiang Zhilian took a plate of bean flour halva and preserved fruit, and poured two cups of sour plum juice.

The two girls sat by the window, eating and drinking, chatting and chatting.

In order to thank Jiang Zhilian, Lin Xiaolu bought a bottle of Yongmei's milk as a thank you gift.

"I know you don't lack anything, this is a little bit of my heart, don't dislike it!"

"What do you say?" Jiang Zhilian unscrewed the lid, poured out a little and wiped it on her face, "Thank you!" ”

A faint fragrance lingers, and the milk is quickly absorbed into the skin.

Lin Xiaolu rubbed his hands, stood up and said, "I'll go out and smoke one, you wait for me for a while!" ”

Jiang Zhilian grabbed her arm and persuaded, "You smoke less!" It's only been a few minutes since I've come in, so I'll have a bite to eat first, and I'll smoke it when I'm leaving! ”

Lin Xiaolu pursed his lips helplessly and sat down again.

She propped up her chin and stuffed a piece of preserved fruit into her mouth, chewing slowly as she looked out the window to distract herself.

"Lianwa, look! The man was so good-looking and tall. Although the clothes are quite ordinary, the temperament is very different from others! ”

Jiang Zhilian looked in the direction that Lin Xiaolu was pointing, snorted, and suddenly became happy.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh at me! Lin Xiaolu was a little embarrassed, but still followed the man's figure intently.

"I've always liked good-looking, tall guys! In fact, no one I know is more handsome than my father. I'll show you a picture of my dad another day, that's what it's called dignified! It's on par with Ken Takakura! ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Hearing you say that, I'm quite curious. However, seeing that you are so good-looking, your parents must be beautiful. ”

At this time, Lin Xiaolu suddenly patted Jiang Zhilian's arm excitedly, "Suffer?" He's coming here! ”

Jiang Zhilian was not surprised at all, Meng Qing must have come to look for her when she appeared near here.

"When I came in just now, I saw a sign on the door that said closed, he wouldn't have seen it, he wanted to come in for dinner, right?" Lin Xiaolu looked at Jiang Zhilian and said eagerly: "If he comes in in a while, don't drive him away!" It shouldn't be a hassle to stir-fry a few dishes, right? ”

Jiang Zhilian chuckled lightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll reluctantly entertain you." ”

Lin Xiaolu stroked his already neat hair, and poured a large mouthful of sour plum juice to moisten his throat.

After a while, Meng Qing pushed the door and walked in.

Lin Xiaolu was stunned and recognized the person.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Zhilian, "Isn't this the person who was with you in the hotel last time?" ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded, and said with a smile: "Introduction, my object, Meng Qing." ”

Lin Xiaolu blushed, and reached out to tickle Jiang Zhilian's itch, "I said you are a bad girl, tease me for a long time, it's interesting!" ”

Jiang Zhilian and Lin Xiaolu laughed together, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't take it as an example!" ”

Lin Xiaolu withdrew his hand, and after sorting out his clothes, he nodded and smiled at Meng Qing, which was regarded as a greeting.

Meng Qing sat down at the table next to them, "What are you talking about?" So happy! ”

Jiang Zhilian joked: "What can girls talk about when they get together!" Talk about men! ”

Lin Xiaolu covered her mouth and stole fun.

Meng Qing: "......"

He is not used to making such large-scale jokes with Jiang Zhilian in front of outsiders.

Suddenly there was silence, and an awkward atmosphere permeated the three of them.

Jiang Zhilian looked at Meng Qing, and her tone was the plain and natural of an old husband and wife, "Have you had lunch?" ”

Meng Qing: "Not yet. ”

"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Zhilian said that she had already stood up and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

Meng Qing looked at her back and said lightly: "Just put down a bowl of noodles, it's simpler, I haven't eaten for a day." ”

"Got it! Right away, five minutes! Jiang Zhilian flashed and disappeared.

In the direction of the back kitchen, there was the sound of running water washing vegetables, followed by the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables......

The lobby on the first floor is exceptionally quiet.

Lin Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, but still took the halva and preserved fruit on the table to Meng Qing, "You eat some first, pad your stomach." ”

Meng Qing politely replied to her, "Thank you." ”

After that, neither of them spoke again.

Lin Xiaolu felt that his heartbeat was much faster than usual, and it was literally rattling.

I don't know if it's an imaginary illusion, but in short, she feels that her whole person is light, and her cheeks and ears seem to be slightly hot.

The blood vessels hidden beneath the skin are jumping vigorously.

This feeling is very subtle and strange.

It's scary, it's even more exciting.

Since a few years ago, enthusiastic neighbors have begun to introduce her to people when they see that she is not young.

Some were about the same age as her, and some were seven or eight years older than her.

The professions are very good, teachers, doctors, bookstore salespeople, and train drivers......

Lin Xiaolu knew that the neighbors were kind-hearted, probably pitying her, thinking that her mother was not very clear and couldn't take care of her daughter's marriage. That's why I thought about helping her introduce her and took the initiative to give her a marriage.

Therefore, she didn't want to brush off the kindness of others, and she met many men one after another.

However, there has never been a single one that has made her feel so uncontrollable at this time.

It's really strange that it is not the first time she and Meng Qing have met.

Not long ago, they had met in the hotel and had sat down to eat.

Could it be that he was exhausted by being harassed by his manager at that time, so he didn't have anything else to think about?

Lin Xiaolu tried hard to recall the scene at that time, but he couldn't remember too many details.

may be because of the careful thinking that should not be moved, she feels very uncomfortable being alone with Meng Qing.

As soon as she brought the halva and preserved fruit to Meng Qing, after returning to her seat, she kept looking out the window, pretending to enjoy the street scene, in order to hide some unspeakable feelings that were quietly growing.

However, her afterglow would still involuntarily aim in Meng Qing's direction.

His every move is firmly engraved in his heart.

Lin Xiaolu looked at a sparrow on the branch and smiled bitterly.

She said to herself in her heart: "Lin Xiaolu, Lin Xiaolu, you sober me up!" This is the object of friends! Do you want to win the love? Do you want to destroy someone else's happiness? What qualifications do you have? Sister Lian is your benefactor, do you plan to take revenge? What's more, Sister Lian is so good and so good, why do you think Meng Qing will empathize and fall in love with you! Don't dream, every man has his own life. This is the arrangement of fate, you appoint! ”
