Chapter 8: Meeting Jiang Wenbin Again

After buying the watch, Shen Zhiyu was afraid that Gu Ye would buy more things, so she quickly walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Gu Ye was waiting for the salesperson to pack the watch inside, Shen Zhiyu was at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, calculating how much money they had spent today.

Suddenly, the light in front of her dimmed, she thought it was Gu Ye coming out, she raised her lips, before she could speak, she met a pair of complex eyes filled with disgust.

Jiang Wenbin was standing in front of her, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, he frowned: “Playing hard to get won’t work on me.”

Shen Zhiyu: “???”

“We’ve already broken off the engagement, Shen Zhiyu, if you keep doing this, I’ll really look down on you.”

The disgust in Jiang Wenbin’s eyes was not only towards Shen Zhiyu, but also towards her family.

In his opinion, her whole family was crazy.

Not only him, basically everyone who knew her family thought they were crazy.

They had two sons, yet they treated their daughter like a treasure.

Normal people would have their daughters marry out to help their sons, but their family was different, their two sons were at home, and they were still finding a son-in-law to marry into the family.

If her family wasn’t so abnormal, he wouldn’t have been humiliated by the villagers, mocked as the first intellectual who relied on women to get ahead.

Shen Zhiyu rolled her eyes very ungracefully.

As for the male and female leads, she naturally wanted to stay as far away from them as possible.

But she was just waiting for someone here, and Jiang Wenbin came over out of nowhere and said these things.

“Jiang Wenbin, did you look in the mirror when you went out? Or are you having a hallucination?”

Jiang Wenbin’s face froze, but he still said with a frown: “Being stubborn is useless.”

“What a joke.”

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Ye saw Jiang Wenbin coming over in the store, he quickly packed up the watch and strode over to Shen Zhiyu.

“He’s sick, I was waiting for you here, he suddenly came over and told me not to be attached to him, I told him to look in the mirror before going out.”

Gu Ye came, Shen Zhiyu’s back straightened a lot.

“He doesn’t even look, my man is almost a head taller than him, he’s stronger, he has more strength, he’s much better than him, why would I care about him!”

Gu Ye: “…”

In the army, Gu Ye has always been one of the most outstanding people in the crowd, he has heard all kinds of praise and flattery, and he has become numb to it.

But like today, being praised like this by a little girl, calling him “my man” and saying he’s better than other men, this was the first time.

The man was also a little embarrassed because of someone else’s praise.

But… the lump of flesh in his chest was inexplicably excited, his mouth was a little uncontrollable.

He tried to keep his mouth shut, but Shen Zhiyu finished speaking and looked up at him, “Right?”

Gu Ye: “…….Hmm.”

Shen Zhiyu almost couldn’t hold back her laughter!

She knew yesterday that this guy was a person who is secretly passionate but appears reserved), now it seems, if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging.

Seeing her little expression, Gu Ye’s ears were burning, he cleared his throat, “I’m hungry, let’s go get something to eat.”

“Hmm!”

The moment Gu Ye walked over, Jiang Wenbin wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

The two of them were interacting and flirting like this in front of him, Jiang Wenbin felt embarrassed, but he also felt resentment and unwillingness towards Shen Zhiyu!

Yesterday she was crying and begging for him, today she was acting cute and flirting with another man.

Jiang Wenbin stared at the two of them, suddenly he felt something was wrong, he looked up and met Gu Ye’s deep and dark black eyes.

For no reason, in the middle of the hot day, he felt a chill down his spine.

“Comrade, no matter what happened before, Shen Zhiyu is my partner now, please stay away from her in the future.”

If it was someone else saying these words to him, Jiang Wenbin would be very disdainful.

But it was Gu Ye, the most promising male comrade in their commune.

Although everyone didn’t know what rank Gu Ye was.

But those who joined the army with him back then had already returned after being discharged, those who stayed were all very capable officers who had made contributions.

A man who had truly come down from the battlefield, just standing in front of him without saying anything, made Jiang Wenbin feel pressured.

At the same time, Shen Zhiyu’s words from before were still ringing in his ears, “He’s so much taller than you.”

Height is a man’s Achilles’ heel, Shen Zhiyu hit the nail on the head.

Besides height, most men have another flaw, “being stubborn”, and Jiang Wenbin is no exception.

He clenched his fist, squeezing out a sneer, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t, but I also hope you’ll keep an eye on your partner.”

“Oh, then the person who ran up to me and talked to me just now was a dog?”

Jiang Wenbin: “…”

He didn’t know how long it had been, He Qing came running over.

Seeing Jiang Wenbin, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised a smile, “You’re here, why weren’t you waiting for me at the post office entrance, are you going to buy something?”

After saying that, seeing his expression was wrong, He Qing asked cautiously: “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Wenbin was very annoyed, and his tone wasn’t very good: “I ran into Shen Zhiyu.”

“Oh? Did she come to pester you again? How shameless she is, it’s all because you’re too outstanding!”

Jiang Wenbin opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.

His silence in He Qing’s eyes was an admission of guilt.

“Isn’t she going to marry Gu Ye? She’s still clinging to you even though she’s getting married, what a shameless person, I think it’s very likely that her marriage to Gu Ye is fake, how could Gu Ye like her!”

————

Shen Zhiyu, who was looked down upon by Gu Ye, just reached the state-owned restaurant, she was hesitating what to eat.

Although Shen’s family loved their daughter, their family’s conditions were just like that, no matter how much they loved her, they could only save some eggs and green beans.

This was Shen Zhiyu’s first time coming to a state-owned restaurant.

The walls of the room were painted white, it looked clean and bright.

The tables and chairs were all arranged neatly, there were about six tables, some were rectangular tables that could seat four or five people, and some were round tables that could seat eight or nine people.

There was a small blackboard hanging on the wall, just like the blackboard outside, it was written with white chalk:

[Today’s Supply:

Pork buns, pickled vegetable and pork noodle soup, braised pork, tomato scrambled eggs, stir-fried bok choy, shredded potatoes, braised fish pieces…]

“What do you want to eat?”

Shen Zhiyu looked at it and asked him: “What do you want to eat?”

Gu Ye guessed that she might be coming to a state-owned restaurant for the first time, and she didn’t know how to order.

So he said: “Stir-fried dishes, order two dishes, and then two bowls of rice, how about that?”

Shen Zhiyu came for the first time, she thought everything was delicious, so naturally she agreed to whatever he said, she nodded.

In the end, they ordered a braised pork and a tomato scrambled egg.

Braised pork cost fifty cents, tomato scrambled eggs were considered half a meat dish, twenty cents.

Two big bowls of rice, each bowl had four taels of rice, it cost eight taels of grain coupons and ten cents.

It added up to one yuan, and they also used eight taels of grain coupons.

But the quantity and quality were definitely worth the price.

The braised pork was made with genuine five-flower meat, the color was attractive and red, the fat was rich but not greasy, the lean meat was tender and not dry, the meat was braised slowly, it was very flavorful.

Shen Zhiyu usually didn’t like to eat fatty meat, but she still ate two pieces of five-flower meat.

Fragrant and glutinous white rice, oily five-flower meat, and delicious tomato scrambled eggs, Shen Zhiyu had never eaten such delicious food before.

But her appetite was just that small.

She usually ate two taels of grain and she was full, she couldn’t even finish the four taels of rice, she only ate the top layer.

She put down her chopsticks, Gu Ye saw this and frowned again: “Why did you eat so little!”
