A wonderful life through the 1970s

Lan Xiyue and Jun Yanqing parked the car near the department store and walked into the department store together.

The department store has two floors. The first floor is for daily necessities, and the second floor is for more expensive goods such as cigarettes, alcohol, clothing, watches, and bicycles, which are considered luxury goods in this era.

Lan Xiyue and Jun Yanqing went straight to the second floor because they were going to visit the Lan family in the evening. Jun Yanqing bought a box of Moutai liquor and two packs of cigarettes at the tobacco and alcohol counter, and went to the candy area to buy all kinds of candies and cakes. Seeing that there was tea for sale, he bought some more tea.

He bought a lot of things during this trip, and then took Lan Xiyue to the clothing area to buy clothes for her.

At Jun Yanqing's insistence, she bought a skirt, a white shirt and a pair of black straight pants, and then picked out two pairs of leather shoes.

Lan Xiyue looked at Jun Yanqing helplessly, "Okay, if you buy more, we won't be able to get it."

Jun Yanqing looked at the things in his hand and saw that they were indeed quite a lot, so he stopped insisting.

"Okay, we'll buy it next time."

Lan Xiyue and Jun Yanqing came down from the second floor carrying things and met the brothers Lan Jingxiu and Lan Jinghong at the entrance of the department store.

Lan Xiyue stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, third brother, do you need to buy anything?"

Lan Jinghong took the things from Lan Xiyue's hand and said, "There's nothing to buy. I just came in to see if you guys have finished shopping."

Lan Jingxiu asked Jun Yanqing, "Have you bought everything? It's time for lunch. If you have, let's find a place to have lunch. I know a private restaurant. It's not open to the public, and only people in the circle go there to eat. The food there tastes good. I heard that their ancestors were royal chefs."

Jun Yanqing looked at Lan Xiyue, "Xixi, are we going?"

Lan Jinghong had a look of dismay on his face.

Lan Jingxiu looked at Lan Xiyue with amusement.

Lan Xiyue blushed when she was looked at and glared at Lan Jingxiu fiercely.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"

"I'm watching how our sister subdued the evil Jun Yanqing. She even has to ask for permission before eating." Lan Jingxiu said jokingly.

Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's Ah Yan's way of showing respect for me. He's not like some people who are single and don't know anything."

"Okay, okay, I don't understand. I don't understand. Then, beautiful comrade, do we want to go eat?"

"Of course, it would be stupid not to go if there's something delicious going on. Ah Yan, let's go eat, Third Brother will treat us."

Jun Yanqing looked at Lan Xiyue and Lan Jingxiu bickering with a doting look on his face.

I put the things I bought into the trunk of the car and followed Lan Jingxiu and the others into an alley after several turns.

After parking the car, Lan Jingxiu led them into a courtyard with four entrances.

According to Lan Jingxiu, the first and second halls were for young people like them, the second and third generations with family backgrounds.

The third entrance is the owner's residence and kitchen, and the fourth entrance is used to entertain powerful people, such as the head of a large family. It is very private and not easily disturbed.

It seems that the owner of this house has a complicated background.

As soon as they entered the yard, a young man in his twenties came to greet them.

He said with a smile, "Mr. Lan is free to come over today. How about we go to the same private room as before?"

"Okay, you decide. I'm treating my sister and brother-in-law to dinner today, and I'll have a portion of your signature dishes."

"Okay, I'll serve you the food in a moment. Have some tea to moisten your throat first."

After saying this, he poured them some tea and went out.

Lan Jingxiu smiled and said, "How is it? The service attitude alone is much better than that of state-owned restaurants. These second-generation people are not the kind to be wronged. Since this place opened, few people are willing to eat at state-owned restaurants."

I heard from several friends that they also pay certain fees to the state and have business licenses issued by the state, but the state does not participate in management and operations.

When Lan Xiyue came here, she felt like she had returned to a private restaurant in the future, as if she was out of place in this era.

As they were talking, they heard someone knocking on the door. Lan Jinghong got up and opened the door to see that it was his eldest brother Lan Jingchen and Lu Xiangdong. He quickly let them in, saying that his eldest brother and Dong brother were also having dinner here.

Lan Jingchen smiled and replied, "I was having dinner here with a few friends, and I just saw someone who looked like you so I came over to take a look."

Lan Xiyue also stood up and called him "Big Brother" obediently, and even pulled Jun Yanqing to introduce him, "Big Brother, this is my boyfriend Jun Yanqing."

Jun Yanqing greeted him stiffly, "Hello, brother. I am Jun Yanqing."

Lan Jingchen shook hands with him and said, "I heard my sister mention you. You're great. Come home for dinner tonight."

Jun Yanqing agreed, "Okay, big brother, I'll go back after dinner."

Lan Jingchen introduced to Lan Xiyue and Jun Yanqing, "This is Lu Xiangdong, we are from the same compound. Xiangdong is my sister, and this is her boyfriend Jun Yanqing."

"You are the little girl from the Lan family. I held you in my arms when you were little, and now you have grown up so big."

Lan Jingchen smiled and said, "Don't be sentimental. We were only in our teens back then. Now we are both fathers. How can my sister not grow up?"

Lu Xiangdong chuckled, "That's right."
