There were not many guests coming to the restaurant for dinner at noon, and the food was served quickly.

Stewed black-bone chicken with American ginseng, roast duck with Tianxiang, Maoxuewang, spicy fish paste, braised prawns, stir-fried yellow beef, garlic vermicelli and baby cabbage, dry pot cauliflower, vegetarian stir-fried kale, cold fungus, and alcoholic peanuts.

For staple food, I ordered a bucket of rice and the signature crispy buns recommended by the waiter.

These dishes were all ordered by Shen Qiuqiu. Just now when the waiter brought the menu, the grown men among them refused to order. They all gave it to Shen Qiuqiu and told her to just order whatever she wanted.

But no one expected that Shen Qiuqiu just pointed at the menu a few times and ordered such a large table of dishes.

There was a table full of dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish. Even Lin Hongxi thought it was too rich.

He has never had such a sumptuous meal in his life, let alone Wang Weidong and others.

Wang Weidong smashed the bar and sighed: "Oh my God, this is so good. Isn't it worth a lot of money?"

Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile: "It's rare to invite a few uncles out to a restaurant. Of course, you have to eat something good, otherwise my grandpa should blame me for being ignorant."

Grandpa Shen also showed his master's style and greeted everyone with a smile: "Come on, come on, move your chopsticks, this dish smells weird, it's just different from what we make at home."

Grandpa Shen is the senior one. When he moves his chopsticks, others follow suit.

While everyone was talking and laughing, wine was served.

The several older men present had a wine dispenser and a small wine glass in front of each of them.

Wang Weidong and Shen Xiu have known each other since they were children. He laughed and said, "Axiu, today is a good day for you. Why don't you have a drink?"

Shen Qiuqiu originally thought that Shen Xiu would refuse, but unexpectedly she just hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, pour me a drink too."

A small wine glass costing three cents each is filled with a full glass of high-strength liquor.

Shen Xiu picked it up and took a big sip. It was the first time she drank liquor. She didn't know it was so spicy. She choked and coughed for a while, and tears came out.

Shen Qiuqiu patted her back and handed her the juice. She drank a large glass of juice to suppress the spicy smell.

Shen Xiu's eyes were red, and she didn't know whether she was sad or choked by the wine.

She picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink more, but Shen Qiuqiu stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, we have some business to do this afternoon, so you can't get drunk."

Grandpa Shen directly grabbed her wine glass and poured the remaining wine into his own glass.

"Girl, what are you drinking? Go drink your juice."

After that, he continued to greet Lin Hongxi and the others for drinks and food.

Shen Qiuqiu filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu took it, lowered her head and took a sip. After a while, she said, "Xiaohua, thank you, sister-in-law."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and shook her head, "We are all one family, there is no need to say thank you."

This restaurant not only has a nice environment, but also tastes great.

Lin Hongxi and others were quite satisfied with their meal. After finishing a bottle of wine, they still had some unfinished thoughts.

Shen Qiuqiu asked the waiter to open another bottle of liquor.

Grandpa Shen was happily drinking. He didn't know how much a bottle of wine cost, so he didn't stop him.

He turned around and asked Shen Qiuqiu in a low voice, "Are there any cigarettes for sale here?"

He brought two packs of cigarettes with him today, and gave one pack to Lin Hongxi. The pack he had on him was passed around a few times while eating, but it was gone now.

Of course, cigarettes are sold in hotels, but most of them charge a service fee, which is more expensive than what is available on the market.

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a moment and said, "When I first came here, I saw a convenience store nearby. I'll go out and buy it for you."

Next to the hotel is a lively pedestrian street.

Shen Qiuqiu bought five packs of cigarettes in a convenience store. When she came out, she saw a flower seller at the door and bought a bouquet of blooming sunflowers.

Sunflowers are flowers that yearn for light, flowers that bring good hope to people, and represent the courage to pursue the happiness you want.

Shen Qiuqiu first put the flowers in the trunk of the car, and then returned to the hotel.

When I passed the front desk, I also paid the bill.

The meal cost more than a thousand yuan, and the two bottles of wine alone cost more than 600 yuan. Shen Qiuqiu scanned the QR code to pay without blinking. This was the money that should be spent, so she didn't feel bad at all.

The restaurant's signature posu buns are very delicious. Thinking that grandma likes to eat posu buns, Shen Qiuqiu ordered two more posu buns to be packed, one with bean paste filling and one with pickled cabbage and meat filling.

Shen Qiuqiu was standing at the front desk waiting for the waiter to issue an invoice. She turned around and saw Shen Xiu coming out of the box. She opened her mouth and called out, "Sister-in-law."

When Shen Xiu saw her, she felt like she had seen a savior. She quickly walked up to her and asked in a low voice: "Xiaohua, where is the toilet?"

She drank the glass of juice just now in a hurry, and she couldn't hold it in for a long time.

There was a bathroom in the private room, but she was too embarrassed to use it.

Shen Qiuqiu asked the waiter where the public restroom was and took Shen Xiu there.

As soon as she saw the bathroom, Shen Xiu hurried in. Shen Qiuqiu washed her hands and stood at the sink waiting for her.

After waiting for a while, she saw Shen Fang walking out.

Shen Fang probably didn't recognize Shen Qiuqiu and concentrated on washing her hands with her head down.

Shen Qiuqiu was hesitating whether to call her, but Shen Xiu, who had just come out of the bathroom, shouted excitedly, "Sister?!"

Shen Fang slowly raised her head and looked at the rural woman with a vicissitudes of life in front of her in disbelief.

Subconsciously he said: "Axiu? Why are you so old?"

Shen Xiu is four years younger than Shen Fang. Now that the two sisters are standing together, Shen Xiu looks even older, as if she is more than ten years older than Shen Fang.

Shen Fang wears a well-cut dress and a small windbreaker. She has exquisite makeup and elegant manners. She looks like a noble lady with a prosperous life.

In comparison, Shen Xiu's clothes looked simple and shabby.

She rubbed her clothes awkwardly, feeling a strong sense of inferiority arise spontaneously; she looked up and saw the slightly disgusted look on Shen Fang's face, and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

At this time, another well-dressed woman came out of the bathroom.

She first glanced at Shen Xiu and Shen Qiuqiu, then walked to Shen Fang and said with a playful smile: "Sister Fang, do you know these two people?"

This person was a colleague of Shen Fang's work unit, and the two of them had some disagreements in private.

How could Shen Fang let her see his joke? She quickly shook her head and denied, "How can I know two country people who are asking me for directions? Let's go, Lao Zhang and the others will be waiting in a hurry for a while."

With that said, he hugged her and left.

Watching them walk away, Shen Xiu asked Shen Qiuqiu with some uncertainty, "Is that person just now your aunt?"

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, then shook her head, and warned Shen Xiu: "Sister-in-law, go back in a while. Don't tell grandpa that we have seen her, and don't mention it to grandma. I'm afraid that the old couple will be sad."

Shen Xiu nodded in agreement, seemingly understanding.
