After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Han Zhuxin stopped in front of a fabric stall. She was running low on fabric and needed to buy some. After looking around, she chose a pattern and asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is this fabric?"

The salesperson took one look at the cloth beside her and said, "Sixty cents a foot. You need a cloth coupon."

After hearing the price, Han Zhuxin looked at Shen Xiaoxia and the others and asked, "Will you buy it?"

Shen Xiaoxia had no shortage of fabrics. She had quite a few in her space, and the quality was much better than those on display for sale. So she shook her head and said, "I don't need it."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhao Lingling and asked, "Lingling, what about you?"

Zhao Lingling had just bought some before the New Year, which was enough for her. She also shook her head and said, "I don't need them either."

Han Zhuxin paid for a small horse. After living together for such a long time, Zhao Lingling knew more or less what Han Zhuxin was doing, except for Shen Xiaoxia, so when she saw her buying so many, she didn't ask any questions.

After the two of them accompanied Han Zhuxin to buy fabrics, they went shopping in other places and bought some food and daily necessities.

Each of the boys also had something in his hands.

After they reunited, He Tingyuan asked, "Is there anything else you need to buy? If not, let's go back."

Everyone said they had almost finished shopping, and a group of people left the department store and headed towards Qin Song's house.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, sharing interesting stories from their lives.

Shen Xiaoxia looked at her friends around her and felt very warm in her heart. Although life was difficult in this era, with these like-minded friends, life became interesting.

When the group arrived at Qin Song's house, Jiang Yan and Qin Song had already returned and were waiting for them.

They had been back for a while, and they guessed that Shen Xiaoxia and the others had gone out for a walk, so they were planning to go out and look for them.

Seeing everyone coming back, Jiang Yan stepped forward to take the things from Shen Xiaoxia's hand and asked with concern, "Are you tired?"

Perhaps it was because she was excited after meeting everyone that she didn't feel tired at all despite the long train ride and strolling around. Facing Jiang Yan's concerned eyes, Shen Xiaoxia smiled and said, "I'm not tired."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia's eyebrows carefully, and found that she was indeed in good spirits, so he let her be. He poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Shen Xiaoxia, telling her that if she was not thirsty, she could hold it in her hand to warm her hands.

After a while, looking at everyone sitting in the room chatting and laughing, Jiang Yan asked, "Does everyone have anything else to do in the county town?"

Han Zhuxin, Zhao Lingling, and He Tingyuan all shook their heads. Their main purpose of coming to the county town today was to pick up Shen Xiaoxia. They just went shopping for a while and bought everything they needed. There was nothing else to do next.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to do next, Jiang Yan said, "How about we go to the state-owned restaurant to have a meal together? After that, we can go straight back to the village."

During the Chinese New Year, although Shen Xiaoxia was away, Jiang Yan still went to the Youth Hostel frequently and became more familiar with everyone there. When he heard him say he was going to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, Xie Yunheng teased, "Hey, Brother Yan, are you treating us again? I didn't get to enjoy it last time, but this time I'm in for a treat."

When the others heard what Jiang Yan said, they also laughed and said, "Another treat? Isn't that too expensive?"

Facing the teasing from the crowd, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll get back to you later."

Han Zhuxin happened to be sitting next to Shen Xiaoxia. Upon hearing this, she poked Shen Xiaoxia's arm. When Shen Xiaoxia looked over, she raised her eyebrows at her and blinked. The gossip in her words was self-evident.

Shen Xiaoxia didn't even bother to pay attention to her. She just rolled her eyes at her and turned her head away.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Yan asked everyone to prepare to set off, and called Qin Song, "Song, take your bicycle too. Let us borrow it to ride back to the village. We will return it to you in a few days."

There were three cars in the Youth League compound, one for He Tingyuan, one for Han Zhuxin, and Jiang Yan's own.

There were just enough people when we arrived, and we went back to add Shen Xiaoxia, so we needed to borrow Qin Song's bicycle. This was something Jiang Yan had considered before he started.

Qin Song went into the house and pushed his bicycle out.

Because it was not mealtime, when the group arrived at the state-owned restaurant, there were only a few people eating in the restaurant.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Jiang Yan asked everyone to order.

Xie Yunheng thought he and Jiang Yan were already very familiar with each other, so he didn't bother to be polite with him. He just opened his mouth and said, "Red-braised pork, I want to eat red-braised pork. I miss the master chef's cooking skills so much."

When they heard him order the braised pork, Zhao Fan and Zhao Lingling nodded in agreement. Although they had made it at home, they did not have the skills of the master chef. The braised pork they made was not bad, but the taste was always disappointing compared to the master chef's.

Han Zhuxin looked at the dishes served today on the blackboard and started to order. "How about the braised fish?"

Zhao Lingling nodded in agreement, "Sure, sure. Braised fish is delicious too."

Shen Xiaoxia looked at her with amusement, "Just say whatever you think is unacceptable?"

Zhao Lingling, who had lost weight during the autumn harvest, had gained a lot of weight after the winter recuperation. Her chubby little face looked very cute. At this moment, she grinned, showing her big white teeth, and smiled brightly, "Anything delicious is fine for me, especially meat, I love it very much."

Shen Xiaoxia didn't say anything else, just gave her a thumbs up.

In addition to braised pork and braised fish, we also ordered minced meat and eggplant, stir-fried winter melon, and cabbage with vinegar. We also ordered a bowl of vegetable and meat soup. In the middle of winter, drinking a bowl of soup can keep you warmer.

The dishes in the state-owned restaurant were quite large, and these few dishes were enough for everyone. After everyone had discussed what they wanted to order, Jiang Yan went to the window to order the dishes and paid.

Because there weren't many people, the dishes they ordered were cooked quickly. When the dishes were served, Xie Yunheng said, "I won't be polite, you can do whatever you want," and quickly and accurately picked up the braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with satisfaction.

Zhao Lingling followed closely behind, and Zhao Fan was not far behind, and everyone started eating.

Shen Xiaoxia also followed the crowd and prepared to pick up the braised pork. She missed the master chef's craftsmanship very much. Just as she was getting started, a piece was put in her bowl.

Jiang Yan looked at her and explained, "I haven't eaten the chopsticks yet, they are clean."

Shen Xiaoxia didn't mean to dislike him. She smiled at him and said, "I don't dislike you. Don't worry about me. Eat by yourself. I can pick it up by myself."

Jiang Yan nodded in agreement, "Okay, then you should eat more."

Although she wasn't hungry on the train, the meals she had were very simple. Now, facing the hot meals, Shen Xiaoxia's appetite was whetted and she began to eat happily.

Jiang Yan felt a little better when he saw Shen Xiaoxia enjoying her meal.

The meal ended in a satisfying manner with everyone chatting and laughing. After the meal, no one delayed any further and prepared to return to the village early while it was still early.
