A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Not only did they not receive the betrothal gift, they also lost a large sum of dowry and were frightened. Dong Dalei and his wife completely lost interest in Yu Junsheng, and had no patience to entertain him. They didn't even let him stay for dinner, and asked Cheng Jiajia to leave after a few perfunctory words.

As soon as they left the building, Cheng Jiajia apologized to Yu Junsheng with an embarrassed look on her face, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Yu Junsheng really didn't take it to heart. "What's the big deal? When you live in our compound in the future, you'll be able to see more talented people. There will also be new things happening every day."

"Let me tell you, this morning when I was about to go out..." blah blah, he started to tell me how Ren Yongsheng and Dong Xiangxiang were caught having an affair that morning, and how Dong Xiangxiang ended up committing suicide by ramming her head against the wall.

Halfway through the conversation, he realized that it was not appropriate to tell Cheng Jiajia about this dirty thing. After all, she was still a little girl. Yu Jun was afraid of dirtying her ears, and he was also afraid that the girl would think that their compound was a den of wolves and tigers, and would regret it halfway and not dare to marry.

He was about to add a few words when he noticed the girl's eyes sparkling and she asked expectantly, "What happened next? What happened to the girl who hit her head against the wall? Did the guy agree to marry her?"

Yu Junsheng: “…”

Thinking about Cheng Jiajia's performance at the Dong family, Yu Junsheng fell silent. He was too young!

He felt that if this girl came to their compound, she would definitely be able to thrive!

Suddenly, her stomach growled twice. Cheng Jiajia looked up at the sky as if nothing had happened and said, "It's time for dinner now. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant!" You can listen to gossip at any time, but you can't miss lunch!

Yu Junsheng tried hard to suppress his laughter, "Do you have food coupons?" It's not that he looks down on people, but the Dong couple don't look like they can give Cheng Jiajia money or coupons to spend.

Cheng Jiajia snorted, "Come on! I'll take you to eat some meat!" She had money in her hand, of course. Besides her grandparents' savings, she also had some pocket money her original self had saved. Before leaving, the little girl had sewed it into the inside pocket of her shirt, and Cheng Jiajia had kept it there carefully these days, keeping the Dong family from noticing. It wasn't much, but it was enough to treat everyone to a meal.

Since Cheng Jiajia had said so, Yu Junsheng naturally wouldn't compete with her for the treat. He didn't believe that women shouldn't pay for meals, and he also understood Cheng Jiajia's intention in inviting him to dinner today. The future son-in-law had arrived. The Dong family hadn't left a meal for someone to leave, so Cheng Jiajia came to make up for it herself, which was a way of saving his face.

Looking at the little girl in front of him who looked like she was going to a war, Yu Junsheng smiled. He liked this young wife more and more.

They didn’t walk far before they chose a nearby state-owned restaurant, ahem… not the one they went on a blind date with last time.

It was a strange fate. After they sat down, they happened to find that Zheng Haiyang and Jiang Qiubai were sitting at the table next to them.

But Cheng Jiajia raised her eyebrows. These two people were really quick. It had only been a few days, and their relationship had already reached the point where they could have dinner together?

She wasn't embarrassed, but she felt a little uncomfortable eating with these two people. However, it was dinner time and the state-owned restaurant was full, so she couldn't even change tables. But she wasn't afraid of anything. When it came to annoying people, she had never been afraid of anyone!

However, there are still people who are eager to find fault.

Since Jiang Qiubai was "insulted" by Yu Junsheng last time in the state-owned restaurant, she also hated Cheng Jiajia, thinking that it was this vixen who seduced Yu Junsheng and made her so embarrassed. As for the fact that she also had her eyes on Zheng Haiyang from another table at that time, she did not mention it at all.

She glanced at Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng behind him and said sarcastically, "Some of them have probably never even stepped into a state-owned restaurant before. Do they know how to order food?"

"Don't order food but don't have money to pay, that would be a joke!" Jiang Qiubai naturally ignored the blind date. In her opinion, it was her brother Haiyang who treated them all, and Cheng Jiajia was also benefiting from him, so it wasn't a serious meal.

As it happened, if she hadn't mentioned Cheng Jiajia, she would have almost forgotten. She didn't know who had set the blind date for the afternoon, neither here nor there, not at lunchtime. They chatted for ages and only drank a glass of plain water, which she guessed was free. She wondered if Zheng Haiyang had done this on purpose because he didn't want to treat her.

Cheng Jiajia wasn't envious of the food, but this matter was irritating. It looked like she and Zheng Haiyang hadn't gotten along, but if the truth came out, would they just be dismissed with a glass of water? Although these days people valued frugality, this blind date was a bit too cheap, wasn't it?

Thinking of this, she said sarcastically, "Why not? Didn't we just drink a glass of water at the state-owned restaurant last time? I learned how to order dishes just by watching!"

"Comrade Yu, let's go to the state-owned restaurant today and have some meat. Let's see if I can order!"

If others want to annoy her, then she will naturally annoy them back, to see who is more embarrassed!

Zheng Haiyang's face was indeed very embarrassed. He quickly grabbed Jiang Qiubai, who was about to continue to tease Cheng Jiajia, and said, "Qiubai, the food is getting cold. Let's eat quickly! It doesn't matter to us whether others order food or not. As long as we enjoy the food ourselves, that's all that matters."

Cheng Jiajia curled her lips and didn't say anything else. Talking too much would affect her appetite!

Just then, the waiter came over to take the order. Cheng Jiajia glanced at the vermicelli and minced pork and roasted eggplant on the table next to her and ordered in one breath, "Red-braised pork, Beijing-style shredded pork, pepper and sesame pork slices, scrambled eggs, and six taels of rice!"

Four meat dishes, just so capricious!

Yu Junsheng was also slightly surprised, but only for a moment. Judging from what had happened today, he knew this girl hadn't had much good food at the Dong family. He would have to give her some good nourishment when she returned to his house.

"Comrade, the total is two dollars and sixty-two cents, plus six ounces of grain coupons and six ounces of meat coupons."

Cheng Jiajia directly took out the bill and handed it to the waiter, and raised her eyebrows proudly at the stunned Jiang Qiubai. Her eyes were red with jealousy, and then she turned around with satisfaction, "You little guy, you want to play with me?"

When it comes to getting angry, she's never lost! She's just so petty!

Of course, Cheng Jiajia ordered so many meat dishes not just to piss off Jiang Qiubai, but mainly because she was greedy.

Since arriving at the Dong family, she hasn't seen a single piece of meat in a whole month. Oh my God, a whole month!

Every meal consisted of boiled vegetables, pickles and steamed corn bread, and occasionally a bowl of rice porridge so thin that you could use a mirror to reflect your thoughts. This was enough to barely fill her stomach, but Cheng Jiajia's mouth was almost dry from eating so much that she could not eat anything. Now, when she heard the word "meat", her mouth would unconsciously secrete saliva.

She didn't know whether Liang Shuangyue didn't want her to take advantage, or whether the food in the Dong family had always been like this, but she guessed it was the former. After all, looking at the mental state of her stepsister Dong Siwei and her half-brother Dong Chenyang, they didn't seem to be people who were long-term deprived of oil and water.

And according to Cheng Jiajia's estimation, the family of four would occasionally go out secretly to eat without her knowledge. How did she know this? The answer is that Cheng Jiajia sometimes smelled the aroma of meat on Dong Siwei. Otherwise, her nose was very sensitive at that time. In the state of long-term lack of oil and water, her nose was really too sensitive to the smell of meat.

It brings tears to her eyes just thinking about it. With this incident in mind, Cheng Jiajia wouldn't dare eat meat at a state-owned restaurant even if she had money. She was afraid someone would smell the odor and expose her wealth. And don't even think about rinsing your mouth. Even if you did, the meaty smell would at best fade, but it wouldn't disappear. Anyone with a sensitive nose could still smell it.

In the end, she had been a vegetarian for a month, and she was so hungry that she was green with envy. Now that she had the chance to eat meat, of course she had to eat as much as she could! She wasn't afraid of the family smelling it when she got home, she could just say it was Yu Junsheng who treated her!

The waiter quickly counted the bills and handed the change to Cheng Jiajia. "Comrade, here's your change of 48 cents. Keep it." He then glanced at Yu Junsheng, who seemed to take it for granted, with disdain. The words "giver" were clearly written in his eyes. He snorted, "This is the first time I've seen a man come to a state-owned restaurant and let a woman pay!"

Everyone around him gave him strange looks. Any other person would have blushed and shuddered, but who was Yu Junsheng? Was he just an ordinary person?

Not only was he not embarrassed, he also straightened his chest and faced the surrounding gazes with confidence.

What's the matter? He's proud of being a gigolo, but you guys want to eat but no one lets you!

Everyone cursed inwardly, "Bah, what a stingy gigolo! I wonder how that woman could be so blind as to fall for this pretty boy!"

……

Next door, Jiang Qiubai, who had been secretly competing with her, was completely focused on the fact that Cheng Jiajia had ordered four meat dishes and still had so much money. She was extremely angry. Why did Cheng Jiajia, a peasant from the countryside, have so much money, while she had to give every cent of her salary to her family every month? Why? She was a worker, much better off than her peasant! Why didn't she have a penny?

Zheng Haiyang was also very jealous. Although he only earned 35 yuan a month, his family was burdened with heavy expenses. His three younger brothers and sisters were all in school, and he had to hand over 25 yuan a month to his mother for household expenses. He could only save 10 yuan for himself, which was not enough to eat in a state-owned restaurant, let alone order so many meat dishes as he pleased.

He said jealously, "It must have been the betrothal gift from Yu Junsheng. After all, she's from the countryside and hasn't seen the world. She couldn't hold on to the little money she had. She only had a few cents, and she spent it all without even considering what to do in the future."

Zheng Haiyang glanced at the minced meat vermicelli and the roasted eggplant, picked up a piece of the roasted eggplant with chopsticks and offered it to Jiang Qiubai, saying meaningfully, "A thrifty woman like you is the right person for life. We will definitely have a prosperous life in the future."

Jiang Qiubai glared at him shyly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in public!" But she felt sweet in her heart.

Zheng Haiyang said affectionately, "What's the big deal? Qiubai, you are the best girl in my heart. Meeting you is my luck."

Jiang Qiubai blushed and whispered, "Brother Haiyang, you are also the best gay man in my mind, much better than that Yu Junsheng."

Cheng Jiajia, who just came over and heard it after ordering the dishes: "..." Suddenly she felt a little full.

Cheng Jiajia looked at Jiang Qiubai with an indescribable look and said, "If you want to praise someone, then do so. If you don't pull others down, you will die!"

I have to say, these two are worthy of being the male and female protagonists, a perfect match! Hurry up and lock it up, don’t bring trouble to others!

She looked at Yu Junsheng with sympathy. This guy was quite unlucky. He was stepped on by his former blind date when he went out for a meal.

Yu Junsheng was unforgiving. "Jia Jia, you're so good to me. I'm glad I chose you, otherwise how could I have had four meat dishes? Other women aren't as generous as you!" He was making insinuations, but he was also speaking the truth. In that dream, Jiang Qiubai hadn't spent a penny on him, before or after their marriage, nor had she ever bought him anything, not even a towel. Instead, she often used the household allowance I gave her to support her family. Later, she got involved with Zheng Haiyang and supported that bastard.

So everyone can use his salary except him?

The more Yu Junsheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but sneer again, "A person's fate is really unpredictable. If I hadn't changed my blind date, would I have been able to eat meat today? Maybe even the meat would have been saved and sent to my future in-laws for my brother-in-law. It seems that even God has favored me and let me avoid a big pit!"

"Puff!" Cheng Jiajia couldn't help laughing and gave Yu Junsheng a thumbs up. This little mouth must have been smeared with poison! But she liked it so much! Haha!

Just as she was about to ask Zheng Haiyang if she could save the minced meat noodles to take back for her younger brother, Jiang Qiubai was startled. Her face flushed red as she glared at Yu Junsheng. "How could there be such an annoying man? He's just as stingy and nagging as a woman!"

Zheng Haiyang didn't understand what was going on. He just thought Yu Junsheng was showing off his gigolo status, and he looked down on him. He put a piece of minced meat in his own bowl and a piece of braised eggplant in his bowl for Jiang Qiubai, urging him, "Hurry up and eat! The braised eggplant in this state-owned restaurant is delicious."

Then he thought of something and said with a smile, "It would be nice if I could eat it every day."

Jiang Qiubai quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Brother Haiyang, I'll learn when I get back, and I'll make it for you every day after we get married."

"Qiubai, you are such a good woman." Zheng Haiyang smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he wouldn't have to spend money this way.

"Brother Haiyang, you are the best man in the world." Jiang Qiubai also smiled happily. Her brother Haiyang was the best man in the world, not a stingy man like Yu Junsheng. Her brother was so thin, what was wrong with eating some meat to replenish his body? Brother Haiyang would definitely not say anything.

The two of them were so affectionate that they almost hugged each other.

Cheng Jiajia's eyes narrowed: "..." I'm saying, can you two be more careful? This is a public place! Aren't people supposed to be reserved and reserved at this time? Huh? Huh? Huh?

She looked like she was being tortured, which made Yu Junsheng laugh. However, these two things were really disgusting, and he was fed up with it, so he rolled his eyes.

He deliberately said loudly: "Some people have no manners. Being affectionate in public is really immoral!"

The bustling restaurant suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked in the direction of Yu Junsheng.

Zheng Haiyang and Jiang Qiubai separated as if they had been electrocuted, their faces flushed red as they glared fiercely at Yu Junsheng, "What a jerk!"

But he became much more obedient afterwards and no longer dared to use greasy trash talk to persecute other diners.

Fortunately, the chef in the restaurant was very skillful and Cheng Jiajia and his friends’ dishes came up quickly.

Without saying much, the two picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Yu Junsheng didn't feel embarrassed at all because it was a woman who treated him. The two of them dove into the food and ate it with relish.

Jiang Qiubai sniffed, smelling the aroma of meat coming from next door. Then she looked at the vermicelli and minced meat and roasted eggplant on her table, and suddenly her appetite disappeared. She consoled herself, thinking, "Never mind. A little minced meat is better than a completely vegetarian meal. At least it still has a hint of meat. I'll take it back to Yaozu, and he'll definitely be happy."

Zheng Haiyang was completely unaware of the man opposite him's thoughts. He ate the vermicelli and minced meat with chopsticks one after another, and sighed, "State-owned Restaurant, your cooking skills are really good. The meat is so delicious!"

So, when Jiang Qiubai came to his senses, he found that the vermicelli and minced meat had been eaten.

Jiang Qiubai: "..."

A feeling of grievance instantly surged in her heart, and she stammered, "Brother Haiyang..."

"what happened?"

Jiang Qiubai looked at the corners of his mouth, which were greasy, and swallowed what she was about to say. Forget it, Brother Haiyang had it hard too. With so many mouths to feed at home, it was rare for him to eat meat. She shouldn't blame him. At least there was a little roasted eggplant.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have enough food."

Zheng Haiyang pointed at the eggplant in the bowl. "There's still plenty. How can it not be enough? Qiubai, why don't you eat any? Is it not to your liking?"

Jiang Qiubai shook his head, hesitating to speak, "I'm full."

Unfortunately, Zheng Haiyang didn't see it. He took out the lunch box he had prepared earlier in the morning and said very naturally, "I plan to take these leftover roasted eggplants back for Mom and my younger sister. Do you mind? My mom has never eaten anything good in her life. The thing she loves most is roasted eggplant."

Jiang Qiubai's expression froze for a moment, then he praised, "How could that be? Brother Haiyang, you are so filial! Aunt has suffered so much, and from now on, you and I will be filial to her together and let her enjoy a peaceful life."

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, forced to eavesdrop, nearly choked on their food. They exchanged glances, each thinking, "That's it? The hero and heroine from the book are back! God is truly blind!"

When they were almost done with the meal, Cheng Jiajia remembered the gossip that she had only heard half of before. She felt itchy and asked Yu Junsheng what happened next.

Unexpectedly, the girl was still thinking about him. Yu Junsheng raised an eyebrow and said directly, "When I left, they were sending her to the hospital. I guess the Ren family will agree to marry Dong Xiangxiang, but they are not good people. They will not just swallow this loss. The girl is not an easy person to deal with either. There will be trouble in the future."

What he didn't say was that Ren Yongsheng was dating someone. The woman seemed to come from a well-off family and even moved out of her home for him, rebelling against her parents.

If he knew about Dong Xiangxiang, he probably wouldn't let Ren Yongsheng go easily.
