Quick Travel System: Age Strategy
Chapter 5: Post Office Postman 3
He looked at Chengcheng tenderly and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? Let's go to the small blackboard next to the window and have a look." Then the two of them walked to the small blackboard.
Cheng Cheng glanced at the blackboard and said in a tender voice, "Brother Jianjun, I want to eat dumplings."
Wang Jianjun: "Chengcheng, let's order dumplings, braised pork, and hot and sour soup."
Cheng Cheng said bluntly: "Can the two of us finish this much?"
The man keenly caught the words "the two of us" that Chengcheng just said, and he liked this word.
Wang Jianjun appeared calm but secretly happy inside as he said, "Chengcheng, eat as much as you want. If you can't finish it, I'll be there for you. I just want you to try everything. I'll bring you here next time."
After that, he went to the small window to order food. "Comrade, I want dumplings, braised pork, and hot and sour soup."
The lady at the window looked up at the man and said unhappily, "One pound of dumplings costs 1.3 yuan, one pound of braised pork costs 80 cents, and one pound of hot and sour soup costs 40 cents. The total is 2.5 yuan plus two pounds of meat coupons."
After listening to this, he reached into his pocket, took out two dollars and fifty cents and a meat ticket and handed them to the aunt.
The aunt took it, counted the money and said, "That's great. Go wait there. After you order, please move aside. It's your turn." It was the turn of the person behind to order.
"Chengcheng, the order is ready. Have some tea first." As he said this, he picked up the teapot on the table, bent down and poured a cup of tea for Chengcheng.
The man asked with concern: "Chengcheng, I'll take you home after you finish eating. Where do you live?"
"I live in a tube-shaped building. I'll trouble Brother Jianjun to take me there later." After saying that, she smiled pretending to be embarrassed, with dimples on the corners of her mouth.
Wang Jianjun's eyes twinkled and he said, "It's not a problem, not a problem at all. We are friends."
After saying that, he heard the waitress at the small window calling out, "The braised pork is ready, the dumplings are ready, the hot and sour soup is ready, whoever wants food, come and get it." Hearing this, the man stood up and walked to the small window to serve the dishes.
Cheng Cheng blinked and whispered to the system in his heart: "Yitong, this male protagonist doesn't look difficult to capture. It seems that he is easier to deal with than I thought."
[In the first era, the world sees you as a novice and lets you try the waters first. The difficulty is not great, and it will become more and more difficult later. ]
Cheng Cheng frowned and said, "Ah, it will become more and more difficult? What if the strategy fails? Will there be a punishment?"
[You will know when you fail. You cannot tell me now because it is a secret unknown to others.]
Yitong thought that if the host knew about it, she would lose her enthusiasm for the mission, so it would be better to keep her hanging. Letting her think about the unknown punishment for failure all the time would also help her complete the mission. After all, humans are always afraid of unknown things.
"I'll know one day, whether you want to tell me or not," she said stubbornly.
[(Minion picks his nose) The hero is about to come back, come back to your senses, don't think too much. ]
Chengcheng looked up at Wang Jianjun holding a pot of braised pork. Braised pork was still very affordable in state-owned restaurants these days.
The large pot of braised pork is so filling that it makes people drool just by smelling it. What’s more, the skin is fat and lean, golden in color, and shiny.
The man put down a pot of braised pork easily: "Chengcheng, this braised pork made by the state-owned restaurant is so authentic. You eat it first, and I will bring the dumplings and soup."
Cheng Cheng looked at him with sparkling eyes and said in a tender voice: "Brother Jianjun, go and get it. I'll wait for you to come back and eat together."
Wang Jianjun looked at Cheng Cheng sitting obediently, lowered his eyes, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and was really too obedient: "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he subconsciously wanted to touch Cheng Cheng's head, but then he realized that he was outside and it would not be good for Cheng Cheng. He rubbed his fingers a few times and turned to walk to the window.
After a while, he came back with dumplings and hot and sour soup. He gently put down the two dishes, sat down and said, "Chengcheng, try it."
Chengcheng picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The meat melted in his mouth, fat but not greasy, fresh and delicious. It was simply delicious.
"Brother Jianjun, this meat is especially delicious." He looked at Wang Jianjun with a grin on his face.
"It's delicious, isn't it? It's delicious. Let's order more next time so that you can have enough braised pork."
Chengcheng secretly grabbed Wang Jianjun's hand under the table to express her gratitude, "Brother Jianjun, you are so nice to me." After saying that, she wanted to let go and continue eating.
Wang Jianjun raised his eyes and swiftly grabbed the little hand that wanted to escape. He felt the hand was as soft as a catkin, the skin was as white as cream, and the little hand was so white and tender, like tofu that he was afraid it would break if he pinched it.
Chengcheng's peach blossom eyes were filled with shyness and her face turned red.
This was the first time that she was actively grabbed by the opposite sex. In the past, she was not outgoing, had few friends, was not good-looking, and was afraid to interact with others because of her inferiority complex.
She doesn't like to dress up and never buys cosmetics. So all the boys who have met her over the years treat her as a same-sex friend. The woman usually interacts with older mothers who are about to have grandchildren. They treat her as a junior and get along well with her.
She has no friends among girls of the same age. She can't follow the topics that girls like to talk about, and she has never bought the brands that they like to talk about. She lives a frugal life and doesn't buy big brands. If she needs something, she would rather compare three stores online, just like opening a blind box, rather than go shopping in offline physical stores.
Cheng Cheng thought that going out for shopping was too expensive. Everything was expensive. She had no eloquence and could not bargain down anything she could. The clothes she was wearing were no more than 300 yuan.
In an era of rapid economic development, people are pursuing what they want, whether it is daily necessities, cosmetics, or daily necessities, they all want to buy the one they like.
Cheng Cheng doesn't want anything and doesn't spend a lot of money. She lives a simple and casual life. So she worked for six years, bought few clothes a year and never traveled. Apart from the necessary living expenses and the 100,000 yuan she spent on her mother's medical treatment, she saved 250,000 yuan. She didn't dare to spend a penny and kept it in her bank card.
After her mother passed away, she felt insecure living alone in this world. The money in the bank gave her enough sense of security, as if she had a spiritual support. In addition to the sense of security given by money, novels were also the object of her reliance.
When she was reading the novel, the plot gave her a sense of immersion, as if she had become the protagonist of the novel, and she often burst into tears while feeling the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
Novels can be said to be her spiritual harbor. Cheng Cheng actually thinks it is quite good to travel into the world of the past. The real parents in this world exist in front of her. She is a child with parents again. She can act like a spoiled child as she pleases, and she doesn't have to work and live by other people's faces. She also has confidence and self-confidence. Wherever her parents are, that's home.
Cheng Cheng and Wang Jianjun held each other's left hands secretly under the table. They lowered their heads to eat with faint smiles on their faces. They ate their meal even though their hands were sweaty, but they were reluctant to let go.
Wang Jianjun smiled and looked at her, "Chengcheng, are you done eating? I'll take you home after you finish."
Cheng Cheng looked at him, raised the corners of her mouth and said softly, "Brother Jianjun, I'm done eating, let's go."
As he said this, he broke free from Wang Jianjun's big hand, and the two of them stood up and left together.
When they walked outside, it was already past five in the afternoon. People were still at work at this time, and there were not many people on the street. Wang Jianjun unlocked his bicycle, took Chengcheng on his bike, and the two of them rode slowly in the breeze.
