Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Shanghai University is a well-known university in southern China.

The school covers a large area and enrolls a large number of students, so the accompanying canteen is also very large.

Lin An'an followed Gu Qingsong to the cafeteria entrance, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The university she attended in her previous life wasn't bad, but it was the old campus, which was very small, not much bigger than a regular high school.

This was Lin An'an's first time eating in such a large cafeteria.

Students and faculty at Shanghai University receive a meal allowance. For students from ordinary families, eating all three meals at the school cafeteria is much more cost-effective than eating out.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, teachers and students on campus will choose to eat in the cafeteria.

It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was bustling with people, packed with teachers and students coming to eat. The whole cafeteria was filled with a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Lin An'an glanced inside and said excitedly, "Wow, there are so many people! Let's go see what kind of food they have!"

Gu Qingsong pulled Lin An'an aside and said, "Don't rush. You need meal tickets to eat in the cafeteria. Let's go to the window and buy some meal tickets first."

Lin An'an glanced inside.

With Gu Qingsong's reminder, they noticed that when students were getting their food in the cafeteria, they were handing out colorful paper cards to the cafeteria ladies instead of using cash.

Lin An'an looked around and pointed to the small house to the left of the main gate, saying, "Is that where you buy meal tickets?"

Gu Qingsong nodded and said, "That should be true. Let's hurry over, there will probably be even more people soon."

They were considered early; most freshmen were still tidying up their dorm rooms and hadn't had time to come to the cafeteria for a meal.

There were only three or four people buying meal tickets in the small room at the moment. After the main group arrives in a while, there will probably be a long queue.

Lin An'an noticed several other freshmen looking around nearby, and her heart skipped a beat.

Although the two of them didn't have anything urgent to do next, Lin An'an was worried that others would be ahead of them in line.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Gu Qingsong's arm and ran towards the small room.

Gu Qingsong let his wife pull him along, smiling faintly as he ran after her.

Lin An'an jogged into the small room, slightly out of breath.

The staff worked very quickly, and the people who were ahead of us in line had already successfully bought their meal tickets.

When Lin An'an arrived, it was just her turn.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and walked to the table to ask, "Comrade, how do we buy meal tickets for our canteen?"

The staff member at the table was very experienced. Without Lin An'an having to ask any questions, he said, "Today is the registration day for new students. Family members can eat in the cafeteria with us. This will not be allowed in the future."

"The details on how to buy meal tickets are posted on the wall. You can take a look and decide for yourselves."

After speaking, the staff member pointed to the large newspaper on the wall, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and waited for Lin An'an to make her own decision.

The large poster on the wall explained in detail that there were three types of meal tickets: red for meat dishes, green for vegetables, and white for staple foods, as well as a yellow package deal.

The various meal tickets had different quantities and prices, and they needed to be exchanged for cash and nationally valid grain coupons.

Lin An'an wasn't good at mental arithmetic, so she glanced at it briefly and looked at Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong quickly calculated in his mind how many meal tickets would be needed for the two of them to eat a meal with meat and vegetables, and also converted the canteen meal tickets with the outside food coupons and cash prices.

Raising an eyebrow, I thought, "Going to university is really great. Food is so cheap. No wonder family members are only allowed to eat in the cafeteria with us at the beginning of the semester."

The university itself isn't that well-off; it seems they've received significant support from above. In the future…

His wife was still eagerly waiting for dinner, but Gu Qingsong didn't think much of it. After a few seconds, he quickly calculated the amount of meal tickets he needed to buy.

Because he wasn't sure if the cafeteria food would suit his wife's taste, and because Gu Qingsong figured that the long queues for meal tickets were only a recent phenomenon at the start of the semester, and that things would stop going on after a while.

Therefore, Gu Qingsong only bought enough meal tickets to last Lin An'an for half a month, based on her appetite.

The two of them took their meal tickets and entered the cafeteria. Instead of buying them at the window at the entrance, they walked around and looked around.

The cafeteria offers a wide variety of food, catering to the tastes of students from all over the country, from south to north.

Lin An'an strolled around the cafeteria, her eyes lingering on the various dishes, before finally choosing white rice and a brightly colored, sweet and sour meat dish.

Originally from the South, she hadn't had any authentic Southern cuisine in the years she'd lived in the North, so this was a perfect opportunity to try her hometown food.

Gu Qingsong didn't like sweet food, so he ended up buying a braised pork and a vegetarian dish.

The soup was complimentary. After Lin An'an sat down, Gu Qingsong got up and brought over two bowls of salted vegetable and tofu soup.

The portions in the cafeteria were very generous. Even though Gu Qingsong had a larger appetite than the average person, three dishes, a soup, and rice were enough for the two of them.

I ate a very filling meal.
