C17 Take a Guest to Dinner
Sister Jun pretended as if nothing had happened as she softly hummed a small tune while she strolled on the street. It was late in the morning, and the streets were sparsely populated with only a few people.
Fan Shuang did not expect that the first time she went shopping with a girl, she was actually forced by her sister to pay for her hair. Fan Shuang did not expect that the first time he accompanied a girl to shop for a haircut, she was actually forced by his sister to pay.
Girls loved beauty. In order to avoid the scorching sun and suntan, Sister took out the umbrella from her handbag and propped it up. Fan Shuang followed behind her slowly like nothing was funny. It was unknown if she felt sorry for it or if she didn't have the courage to say, "Thank you!" Actually, it would be best to find an opportunity to give her the money for this haircut. More or less, it should be borne by him. After all, the ultimate beneficiary would be himself.
His sister did not feel Fan Shuang following her, so she stopped and waited for him for a while. In order to not make her angry, Fan Shuang followed helplessly. He braced himself and asked, "Why did you pay first?" If I'm not satisfied with their service attitude, wouldn't the money have gone to waste? "
How could Sister Yi not hear the hidden meaning behind his words? She was actually blaming herself for rushing to pay the bill, but due to her relationship with him, she did not want to hurt his self-esteem, so as to not let it hurt, she laughed and said: "What kind of society are we in now, since you enjoy the warm service of others, you will have to pay the corresponding price. Do you still think that it's the 1990s? "It doesn't matter if you're satisfied or not. Besides, your hairstyle is very compatible with yours. You look much more spirited and young, so why are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Fan Shuang pretended to be unaffected and said, "What '90s or' 00s'? No matter where it was, it would not go out of style. You would be at a great disadvantage."
"Alright, Uncle Fan, why are you so serious …"
"I am serious. I am not serious. I am not competing with others. I want to be fair in business and bargain. Society still needs righteousness." Fan Shuang lectured seriously.
The younger sister made a face and remained calm.
Fan Shuang was helpless against her, regardless of whether she was good at arguing or not, it was futile. There was no need to make everyone unhappy, so she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where are we going next?" Now is not the time to come out and enjoy the sun bath or the natural sauna. Summer is really hard. "
"You're still complaining? No wonder you don't like to walk around. So you're afraid of working hard and afraid of working hard?" The younger sister asked as she walked.
Fan Shuang did not dare to get too close to her. Her feet moved with her rhythm as she walked forward. She hurriedly denied it. "No, I'm just afraid..." The following words were so secretive that they couldn't be expressed. However, this sister already understood what he meant, and her face turned red again.
At this moment, three young men and women came towards her. They were all dressed the same, like uniforms, and looked as if they had known each other for a long time. "Beauty, let's go, let's go and have some fun. Are you interested in accompanying us?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Yi, ignoring her demure nature, kicked the man who was making fun of her. Even Fan Shuang was surprised to see this scene. Luckily, his agility allowed him to avoid the attack and avoid it, which resulted in a burst of laughter.
On the other hand, the girl spoke more tactfully and asked kindly, "Sister, you look so beautiful today. Are you going on a blind date or …"
Sister Yi could not hide the joy in her heart and interrupted, "You guys have been crazy all day, can't you be more normal? Can't you see that I'm shopping? It's so boring for you guys to get off work, go play by yourselves. "
"Alright, stop joking around. Did you come out in the afternoon to make a fool of yourself?"
Fan Shuang could not bear to hear these obscenities. Even men like him would feel ashamed upon hearing them, but they actually started to chat happily. Fan Shuang could not bear to hear these obscenities, even men like himself would feel ashamed upon hearing them.
In order to take account of Fan Shuang's feelings, sister was afraid of feeling upset, so she replied in a serious tone, "You're the one who has a infatuation? I'm a natural born beauty, do I need to use it? You guys are not in the factory and actually came out. Aren't you afraid that the quality inspectors will catch you? "
A man said, "We're just out for a meal. The food in the cafeteria can never be changed, so what's so good about it? So we came out to change the taste and have a good meal. By the way, did you have lunch? "If not, I'll treat you guys along the way."
The three of them immediately understood, especially the man who had spoken in such a disrespectful tone, "Oh, so you were accompanied. No wonder you refused to show your face when we were treating. Haha, this must be your boyfriend, right?"
Fan Shuang immediately came back to his senses and waved his hand. With a serious expression, he rejected, "No, no, no. I'm just an ordinary friend of my sister. If you want to eat, why don't you..."
Sister Yi did not wait for Fan Shuang to finish and interrupted, "Alright, aren't you all hungry? Hurry up and go eat. I still have things to do, so I won't waste your precious time. "
There was a sour tone in his words that made Fan Shuang feel his nose go numb. He did not know if it was because he was being indecent or if he was just pretending to be stupid, but he stood on the spot without showing any sign.
The three of them jeered at the same time, "Oh, I understand. Then you two should enjoy a beautiful, happy world together. Come, let's go eat."
Fan Shuang really wished he could teach them how to be polite and how to speak, but since they were all colleagues of his sister, he did not say it out loud to avoid leaving the impression of an old scholar and antique in the eyes of others.
It was unknown what happened. In front of Fan Shuang, even the most reserved person would blush and stutter, afraid that Fan Shuang would not be happy. Unfortunately, Fan Shuang acted like he was standing high above, staying out of the limelight, making it even harder for others to guess what he was thinking and what he was thinking.
Fan Shuang walked straight forward without asking who they were, and without feeling sorry for the teasing. He was just doing his own thing and had only met his sister by chance. At most, they were roommates who shared a house together, and that was it.
After thinking for a long time, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth. "Uncle Fan, what are you going to eat?"
Fan Shuang asked in puzzlement, "Didn't we agree to buy the dishes and cook?" "Now …" He looked at the time and said, "It's only around 1.15. Since there's nothing going on, there's no need to spend money. We'll talk about it later …"
It was unknown if it was to atone for his sins or to heal the wounds in his heart, but her face was full of smiles as she said coquettishly, "Uncle, you wouldn't say that the food and hygiene is worrisome, right? After wandering around for more than half a day, I am tired and tired. How could I have the strength to go back and cook?
Fan Shuang said with a straight face, "One cannot have a bottomless limit. Otherwise, once one breaks it, it would be no different from being a reincarnated person."
"Then no matter what, you will make an exception for me today, no? It's rare for me to be so happy. Should I get a haircut or treat you to dinner? " The third sister stubbornly said with an expression that made people feel sorry for her.
Fan Shuang looked cold and heartless, but he could not explain why he was so soft-hearted. "Fine, fine, fine, I'll agree. You have to find a more elegant environment, don't eat fast food, don't eat McDonald's, KFC."
"How about you treat me? Are you more familiar with this place than me?" In a flash, her sister became quick-witted and started to "get what she wanted".
Just now, she had treated him to a haircut. As a form of etiquette, logically speaking, he should treat her to a meal. He could not argue with an outsider's sister about losing, so why not lose his dignity?
"Alright, actually, I'm not too familiar with it. It's only been half a month since I've been running around in the morning and I've discovered that there's a bean flower rice cooking well done up ahead. Do you have any mood or taste? If you don't mind, then it's settled then."
Even if she did not agree, she could not say it out loud. However, in her heart, she was cursing: "Stingy bastard, not even willing to eat a big meal. Wealth is not saved up, but earned through hard work." Seeing Fan Shuang increase his pace, afraid that he would not be able to find the place, he quickly ran to catch up.
The restaurant was only five minutes away. Fortunately, there were very few pedestrians at noon. Otherwise, it would have taken up a lot of time. Since it was a hot summer day, he would have to save time and endure less pain.
Indeed, just as Fan Shuang had said, the environment here was quite comfortable and the sanitation was quite clean. There was an endless stream of people eating in there, and they all had to line up. Perhaps it was a good time because there were many factories nearby and the staff were not used to eating in the cafeteria, so it was normal for many people to come out to improve their food and change their tastes.
"So many people!" "Looks like business is booming. Why haven't I found such a good place?" asked Sister in surprise.
Fan Shuang replied indifferently, "You were busy all day at work, so you did not know at all. I even found out from my morning jog that they were selling soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns for breakfast. At noon, they usually eat at home, so maybe there would be a barbecue during the summer and a hotpot during the winter."
"I can't tell that you're a shy person, but you're actually a very meticulous person. "When will this happen?"
Fan Shuang replied with a sneer, "It's not too late to eat. Wait a bit, I'm in no hurry to do anything else."
The younger sister curled her lips and complained, "Waiting outside the restaurant in the middle of the afternoon. Even if you don't want to die from the heat, you still have to suffocate …"
"Don't you have an umbrella?" "At the beginning, I was so interested in eating that I had to treat her to a meal no matter what. Why do I have to complain after coming here? There were not only beans, but also boiled meat, hair and blood, garlic, broccoli, I liked it the most."
"Aren't you a vegetarian? "No matter what, you still like to cook your meat with water and with blood flowing down your spine. Aren't you afraid of getting burned eating such a hot dish on such a hot day?"
Fan Shuang could not help but shake her head. She was truly speechless at her innocence and purity, but she still patiently explained, "I wanted you to broaden your horizons and learn other people's cooking and ingredients. Didn't you say you needed to learn how to cook? It's not hard to learn these things. You really don't understand my good intentions. "
Only then did his younger sister come to a realization. "Oh, Uncle sure is meticulous to even think of this. He really is extraordinary."
Why did these words sound so difficult and ear-piercing? Fan Shuang did not mind and continued to line up with her.
They waited for about 10 minutes before they finally entered the restaurant. Perhaps it was almost time for work as the customers were all rushing to get to work. Fan Shuang and Sister Ah were free to take their seats.
It was almost 2 o'clock, and just as he had expected, many people were rushing to work. Now, regardless of whether it was white-collar or blue-collar workers, they could not be late or leave early, and without special reason, they could not take a leave. The cruel competition in society truly reflected the intense feeling of having one minute of time and one inch of money.
The shop was not big, with about 10 tables set up for a total of 100 people to eat at. Fortunately, he was not a member of the working class, otherwise he would have to suffer for his life.
Sister was sitting across from Fan Shuang. Seeing that the waiter was busy clearing up the mess after dinner, she waited patiently and chatted with Fan Shuang for a while.
"Uncle, are you thirsty?" Would you like some hot water, or a Coke, or a Sprite to quench your thirst? " His sister seemed to be a regular customer, which surprised Fan Shuang.
He wondered how many more secrets she still had that he did not know. She replied indifferently. Her sister was also confused by his ambiguous answer. She asked again, "Do you want it or not?"
Fan Shuang said absent-mindedly, "Cola, the more I drink, the more thirsty I am. Besides, drinking before dinner is bad for my health, so I just need some tea. Why are you so familiar with the route? Have you come before?"
Her sister was afraid that someone would notice, so she shook her head and said, "No, we haven't even eaten pork before, yet we've seen a pig run? Aren't all meals first for the customers to have a cup of tea? Don't you know? "
"I know, this is common sense. If I don't even know about this, then I'm really a prehistoric monster. Are you hungry? Are you in such a hurry? It's air-conditioned here, so it's definitely better than outside, right? "
"I thought you didn't like the liveliness? You made yourself independent, stood out from the rest, and did not fit in at all. So you're actually such a philistine person as well? "
"Mortal? How can you understand it? It's not too noisy right now. He's almost gone, so no matter how quiet and peaceful he is, it's useless. Alright, let's order first? What do you like to eat? "You're welcome!"
"Don't mention it," the word sounded like she was trying to emphasize something. Was she going to let her sister save it for her, or was she really not going to be polite? However, Sister Liu did not think too much about the meaning behind the question. She picked up the menu on the corner of the table and started flipping through it carefully. Fan Shuang stretched out her neck and looked at the menu in her hands, observing her expression.
"Uncle, are you going to eat meat or not?" "I've ordered a bunch of meat dishes, wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't eat them?" As she flipped through the books, she asked.
Fan Shuang was surprised again. This little girl actually knew the term "reckless waste of heaven's treasures". It was not that simple, but to him, having such a pure and beautiful girl in front of him was already "a feast for the eyes". It was not because Fan Shuang and the "hooligans" were impetuous, but it was because a normal person would be so agitated.
The little sister did not hear Fan Shuang's reply for a long time. She waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "Hey, Uncle, what are you eating? I asked you which little girl you were thinking about after not speaking for so long. "
Fan Shuang had an embarrassed look on his face, but he couldn't say it out loud. He said with a choked voice, "I..." Today, I will sit at the east side and do as I please. You can just eat as long as you want. "
"Waiter, order!" As if she had been pardoned, her younger sister could not wait any longer for Fan Shuang's words. Waving her hand, she signaled the waiter to 'ruthlessly' Fan Shuang.
The waitress was a thirty year old or so young lady with average looks, but she was meticulous, thoughtful, and passionate. She took out a pen and a notebook and asked, "May I ask what you two are going to eat?"
As she memorized the names of the dishes, she continued to flip through the books. She seemed to have great authority as she said, "First, let's have a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green to quench our thirst …"
"Sorry, there's no more Bamboo Leaf Green, there's Yunnan Pu'er." The waiter explained patiently.
The younger sister was not happy and asked again, "Then let's start with water. Pu'er is too expensive, I'm not a small asset."
"Ok, what else do you need?"
"Do you have a steak?" asked Sister.
"I'm sorry, but there's still fried beef, stewed beef with tomatoes, and stewed beef …" She talked a lot, except for the steak.
Sister Yi grumbled indignantly, "Why is there nothing to eat? Where's the yak?"
The waiter silently shook his head, and her sister was even angrier, "Why is there nothing at all, how can we eat?"
He felt like his sister was purposely finding fault with him. He advised his sister softly, "Give me the menu, this is just a normal restaurant, you think it's a Star Hotel? Didn't you see the menu?" "Why are you randomly ordering around?"
Sister Yi gave a pained snort, grumbling, "Did you collude with him in advance? Why does it feel like a skit like 'Money Is Not A Deal'? You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Fan Shuang was afraid that her sister would not pay attention when she spoke, so she made things difficult for the waiter by the side. She frowned and advised, "How did I collude with this?" This one is a complete stranger to me, and besides, don't you think it's just a matter of the circumstances, you're blaming me for having the menu in your hands. "
"Haha, uncle truly doesn't know how to tease. Just teasing you makes you angry, and the reason why I'm causing trouble is because you seem to have your own thoughts. In reality, your heart is very timid and cowardly. You even have to give food to others, so I …"
Fan Shuang's face immediately turned pale. He was really worried about his sister's Ghost Horse, but he was afraid that the waiter would wait for too long and misunderstand that he was making fun of her. He quickly ordered a garlic broccoli, Boiled Fish, Returned Boiled Meat, and Braised Bean Flowers.
Sister Jun didn't express any more opinions, thinking that they were all people from the same province. Their preferences and tastes were all roughly the same, and so she didn't pay much attention to anything else.
The waiter took the menu to the kitchen. Now that everything was ready, there was only the east wind. The two of them drank some water and waited for the dishes to arrive. They were ready to start eating.
Around two o'clock, the dishes finally arrived. Sister did not care about her own pure and beautiful image at all as she impatiently picked up the bowls and chopsticks and offered up her "five viscera temple".
Seeing that her left hand was still as a mountain while her right hand was continuously changing between eating and eating, Fan Shuang was completely shocked. He exclaimed in his heart, "Heavens, what kind of strong woman is this? There is such a contrast in the world, with the face of an angel and the terrifying appetite of a devil. " Anyone would be dumbstruck.
"Can you be more reserved? If no one is fighting with you, aren't you afraid of choking?" Fan Shuang guessed that she must have been being too harsh on him, to have created such a contrast. She was extremely worried.
The younger sister mumbled, "I …" She said so many incoherent things that Fan Shuang couldn't hear clearly. She leaned over and asked, "Say, slow down. Is it because you don't like the food in the cafeteria that you suffer from hunger?"
His sister nodded her head vigorously, unable to resist the temptation of the delicacies. She did not seem to have any intention of stopping, making Fan Shuang's palm strike her forehead, as if she was showing no signs of stopping.
Fan Shuang did not want to be lectured too much, so she made him seem like an elder of some sort, leisurely tasting a piece of broccoli. Fan Shuang did not want to be lectured too much, so she made him look like an elder of some kind of her, leisurely tasting it with a piece of broccoli.
Her younger sister, on the other hand, was in high spirits and did not pay attention to her body at all. Eating and drinking too much wine was extremely harmful to her body. Perhaps she might be able to imagine that her diet might cause her to become irregular.
However, there were some things that would not be good if they knew more. After all, some people felt that this was their private matter, so they remained silent and endured.
In less than ten minutes, her sister had finished eating. She picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth, looking at Fan Shuang who still had half a bowl of rice, and asked in bewilderment, "Uncle, why are you eating more elegantly than a lady? Didn't my family often hear adults say that all of your meals were poured?"
"Do you believe the words of an adult? The adults also said that we should be careful when studying. What was the result? After studying physics and mathematics, why not have a good dad? Look at the popular 'My dad is Li Gang' recently. I wonder how many people with the same surname and surname are shot at. Nothing is absolute, just like you. Today, my horizons have been opened! "
Sister replied shyly, "You don't know how terrible the food in the factory's cafeteria is. It's the same every day. There's no change in the way you cook and you don't even have an appetite. Of course you can come out and enjoy yourself!"
Fan Shuang guessed correctly and said with a sneer, "You were born with a blessing in the middle of the world, but do you know how many people in this world are still worried about food? "Don't be so picky. Even if the food is hard to eat, are you guys going to spend money or work?"
"You even have the nerve to ask for money after making it like that! That's the true way to cheat others!" She complained.
Fan Shuang comforted him, "That's right. I didn't make you pay a cent. Free lunch is indeed not tasty, but you can't treat yourself unfairly. If you don't mind for a while, your boss will suffer."
"Uncle's lesson, I'll remember it from now on. Actually, three dishes and a soup, the food is not that bad. It's just …"
After all, he was a few years older than her, so he had experienced all sorts of life before. He had a lot of experience, and before his sister could finish, he immediately interrupted her, "It's just that people are affected by others when they're together, so it's normal for people to be a little bit weaker than others. Naturally, he has this kind of mentality, and would rather suffer than feel uncomfortable."
"Eh? Uncle, have you learned psychology before? "Why do you know what I'm thinking? I've heard that you're a weird person. You don't even eat the same as the others. You're totally blaming me, Uncle."
Fan Shuang scoffed. There was indeed nothing she could say to her eloquence. There were some things that she did not want to argue about. Besides, what was the use of arguing?
