When Shen Xiaoxia arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she looked around inside first to see if any of her friends were there.

After walking around, Shen Xiaoxia didn't see anyone else, so she had to go buy what she needed.

I bought five kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, one kilogram of brown sugar, and some candy, melon seeds, and peanuts.

The quantity purchased is not large, and she has it all in her space, so she can just take the rest from the space.

There were other things that looked good, so Shen Xiaoxia bought some of them as well.

After finding a corner, Shen Xiaoxia put four pounds of pork belly, two pounds of ribs and a chicken into the backpack.

The backpack was filled to the brim. After buying all the things, Shen Xiaoxia looked at the time. It was already past one o'clock. She touched her stomach and decided to go to the state-owned restaurant for a meal.

When Shen Xiaoxia arrived, it was already past dinner time and there weren't many people in the restaurant. Shen Xiaoxia was lucky as there was one last serving of braised pork left and she ordered it.

A serving of braised pork, a serving of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of rice.

This place is relatively close to the agreed location, and there are still nearly two hours until the agreed time. Shen Xiaoxia is not in a hurry and plans to sit down and eat slowly.

She had just taken two bites when she heard a familiar voice ordering food from the window. Shen Xiaoxia looked up and found that it was Jiang Yan.

Shen Xiaoxia blinked. They met again?

This was the second time she met Jiang Yan in a state-owned restaurant!

Why does he eat at this time?

Jiang Yan was delayed by something today and was hungry now. He planned to fill his stomach before going home.

I saw braised pork on today's menu and planned to order one, but was told that the last one had been ordered by someone else.

There were no more meat dishes, only freshly fried vegetarian dishes. Jiang Yan ordered an eggplant, a winter melon, and an egg soup.

Shen Xiaoxia waved to Jiang Yan when he turned around to look for a seat. Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Xiaoxia sitting there and waving at him.

He walked up to Shen Xiaoxia and asked, "Why did you come to the county town today?"

Shen Xiaoxia pointed at the stools and motioned Jiang Yan to sit down first. "Isn't the Chinese New Year coming up soon? Let's get together to do some New Year shopping."

Jiang Yan chose a seat opposite Shen Xiaoxia and sat down. After hearing her words, he looked around and asked, "Did you come together? Where are the others?"

Shen Xiaoxia explained, "Everyone went to do their own things, and we arranged a time for Uncle Li from the village to come and pick us up.

I've already bought everything and I'm a little hungry, so I came here to eat!"

Shen Xiaoxia had just heard Jiang Yan ordering. Seeing him sit down, she pointed at the last portion of braised pork on the table and looked at Jiang Yan with a raised eyebrow. "Hey~, the last portion of braised pork. I just started eating. Do you want to join in?"

When Jiang Yan heard her say that, he guessed that Shen Xiaoxia must have heard him ordering the dishes just now. He curled the corners of his lips slightly and didn't intend to be polite. "Okay! Then I'll obey your command!"

His dishes were not ready yet, so Jiang Yan went to ask for a bowl of rice first.

The two of them first ate the dishes ordered by Shen Xiaoxia.

Eat and chat at the same time.

The two of them were now quite familiar with each other, and they didn't feel awkward sitting together for dinner. Shen Xiaoxia asked Jiang Yan, "Why are you eating at this time today?"

Jiang Yan answered her, "Something happened in the transport team that delayed us."

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and asked him again, "Are you going back to the transport team today? Or back to the village?"

Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia and said, "I'm not going back to the transport team. I'm going home directly. The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, so I don't plan to run away before the New Year!"

Shen Xiaoxia was about to speak when someone called out from the window that Jiang Yan's dish was ready. Jiang Yan stood up and brought the dish back.

He asked for two empty bowls and scooped a bowl of soup for each of them. Shen Xiaoxia picked it up and took a sip. It was mushroom and egg soup, quite delicious.

Jiang Yan also drank a few mouthfuls of soup before asking Shen Xiaoxia, "What did you want to say just now?"

Shen Xiaoxia was holding the soup, sipping it gently. When she heard Jiang Yan's question, she looked at him and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to say that it's good that you can rest before the New Year.

Do you usually need to run long distances or short distances?"

Jiang Yan: "Both long and short distances. It depends on your choice. I mostly run long distances and occasionally run short distances."

Shen Xiaoxia asked him, "When you run, do you always run alone? Will you encounter any danger?"

Jiang Yan: "Most of the time, long distance running is done in pairs. Do you remember the person I was with last time?

I ran with him most of the time.”

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "I remember!"

The last time they met Jiang Yan at the state-owned restaurant, he and Jiang Yan had dinner together. Shen Xiaoxia couldn't remember his name for a moment, but she only remembered that the man said he would treat her to dinner next time they met!

Jiang Yan saw her nod and continued, "As for the danger, it's not that bad. Basically, we can handle it."

He is good at martial arts and can use arrows.

Qin Song is also quite skilled, and the two of them can handle any problems they encounter by working together.

After the two finished eating, there was still nearly an hour until the agreed time. It was too cold outside, and Uncle Li probably hadn't arrived yet. Shen Xiaoxia planned to stay here for a while and meet up at about the same time.

Shen Xiaoxia looked at Jiang Yan and knew that he was riding a bicycle. She asked him, "You ride a bicycle, right? Do you want to go back first?"

Jiang Yan sat still. It was fine for him to go back anyway. "I don't have anything else to do today, so I'm not in a hurry to go back.

Let me sit with you and chat for a while, otherwise it will be awkward for you to sit here alone."

After hearing what he said, Shen Xiaoxia did not refuse, and the two of them sat down and chatted to pass the time.

Jiang Yan glanced at the backpack Shen Xiaoxia had placed on the ground and asked her, "Have you prepared everything for the New Year? Is there anything missing?"

Shen Xiaoxia was silent for a moment, blinking and looking at Jiang Yan, "I've bought everything, there's nothing missing."

She lacks nothing. She has everything she needs!

Jiang Yan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his brows relaxed. "If you need anything, you can tell me and I can help."

As for Jiang Yan, Shen Xiaoxia felt a bit like someone who has too many debts to worry about. The more favors she owes, the calmer she becomes. Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, she simply said calmly, "Okay! If you need anything, I won't hesitate to help you!"

Shen Xiaoxia knew that Jiang Yan must have some dealings with the black market, but she didn't know how deep the dealings were!

Shen Xiaoxia was a little curious and wanted to ask, but she was afraid that it would be a bit presumptuous. After all, anything related to the black market was private and secret.

Shen Xiaoxia finally gave up asking.

When the agreed time was almost up, Jiang Yan picked up Shen Xiaoxia's backpack and put it on the bicycle, then pushed the bicycle side by side with Shen Xiaoxia to the agreed place.

When the two arrived, Han Zhuxin was already there. Seeing them coming together, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you two here together?"

Shen Xiaoxia put the backpack on the ox cart and said, "We just happened to meet while eating at the state-owned restaurant."

Han Zhuxin's eyes moved between the two of them. She glanced at where Uncle Li was standing not far away, took a few steps towards Shen Xiaoxia, and said softly, "Wow! You two are quite destined to meet! Not bad, not bad..."

The voice was not loud, and Shen Xiaoxia didn't know whether Jiang Yan heard it or not, but after she heard it, her eyelids twitched and she glared at Han Zhuxin!

What nonsense are you talking about?

Han Zhuxin didn't take the glare seriously and just looked at Shen Xiaoxia with a half-smile.

Shen Xiaoxia was so attracted by her gaze that she almost wanted to beat someone up!

Han Zhuxin's voice was not loud, and Jiang Yan didn't hear what she said. He just looked at Shen Xiaoxia's sudden anger, feeling a little surprised. He didn't know how Han Zhuxin had offended her!

Shen Xiaoxia secretly glanced at Jiang Yan, and seeing that he didn't react, she probably didn't hear it. She breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Han Zhuxin several times!

Wait for me!

I know more than you do, so I have no shortage of opportunities for revenge!

Jiang Yan didn't wait for others to come over. He said hello to the two of them and left.

Watching Jiang Yan walking away, Shen Xiaoxia rushed over and tried to strangle Han Zhuxin, but Han Zhuxin easily dodged it.

The two of them quarreled for a while, and then other people came over one after another. When everyone was gathered, Uncle Li drove the ox cart and took everyone back to the village.
