Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The family drove the carriage to the entrance of the restaurant. The waiter was chatting with someone in the lobby and did not greet the guests at the entrance. Jiang Chuan’s family did not mind and unloaded their basket tying their carriage to a pillar at the side and prepared to enter the restaurant.

The waitress was a middle-aged woman. She heard the noise and walked out of the entrance.

“Do you all plan to rest here?” The woman asked impolitely. Without waiting for Jiang Chuan’s family to answer, she continued, “Go straight from this road and turn left. There’s a pier that has dried up. If you want to rest, go there. We have businesses to do here.”

The waiter’s attitude reminded Jiang Xia of a passage she had read in a book. It was said that in the 1960s because restaurants belonged to the country, it was a very respectable job to be able to work in a restaurant. At that time, the status of the waiter was higher than that of the customer. The customer would give a tip after the meal to commend the excellent waiter.

Although she knew the history, Jiang Xia was still uncomfortable with the attitude the waitress was giving. They were obviously the ones that will be spending the money, yet they have to be treated like that.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan also frowned in discomfort. Jiang Gu explained excitedly, “Auntie, we’re here to eat.”

“Eat?” The middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Chuan’s family with disdain and then pouted. “Not only do you need money to eat in our restaurant, but you also need food stamps. You guys must be from the village! There is no way you can afford food here. Don’t let your life be ruined after this meal.”

The middle-aged woman’s words were not pleasant to hear, but it was also the truth. In this day and age, whether it was tickets or money, it was not easy to earn. It was already a large number for the villagers to save up more than 20 yuan a year. How could they squander one yuan for a meal?

Jiang Xia said expressionlessly, “Auntie, we have money and tickets. Can we go in?”

As soon as Jiang Xia opened her mouth, Jiang Chuan cooperated and took out the food stamps and money. The middle-aged woman could not say anything else and could only let them in.

However, just as Jiang Xia stepped through the door, the middle-aged woman spoke again, “Hey! Country bumpkin, what are you carrying in your basket?

This is a restaurant. I have to take a look at the things you bring in. What if you ruin our restaurant’s reputation by bringing all kinds of dirty things in?”

Jiang Xia was annoyed by the woman’s repeated attempts to make things difficult for him. He suppressed his anger and said, “It’s just the wild vegetables we brought. Nothing else.”

This time, without waiting for the woman to speak, Jiang Xia lifted the cloth covering the basket and showed it to the woman.

The woman saw that she really had nothing against the family so she let them in with a dissatisfied expression.

Jiang Chuan and his family had just sat down when they heard another voice coming from the door.

The middle-aged woman glanced at the door, and her eyes lit up instantly. She handed the menu to Jiang Chuan’s family and went to greet them.

Jiang Xia looked over as well. The person was dressed in a dark green military uniform and had a slender and straight figure. Who else could it be but the young master of the Shen family?

There were four people in their group. Young Master Shen and a middle-aged man walked side by side, and two men in military uniforms followed behind them.

Jiang Xia thought about it for a long time after meeting Young Master Shen last time. She remembered that Young Master Shen looked a little like a popular male celebrity in the future.

Perhaps it was because Young Master Shen had joined the army, but he looked more masculine and handsome than that male celebrity.

Jiang Xia looked at the group of people again. She felt that the man beside Young Master Shen looked familiar.

As if sensing Jiang Xia’s burning gaze, the man also looked at Jiang Xia’s table.

Jiang Xia then remembered that this was the man who had listened to him talking at the entrance of the Shen family’s house a few days ago.

Jiang Xia’s face darkened. She had previously promised her father that her words had not revealed any information. Who would have thought that she would be caught red-handed?

He wouldn’t really come looking for trouble with her, would he? She was just talking about the current situation in the countryside. She wouldn’t be labeled as anti-system just because of a few words, right?

Jiang Xia muttered in her heart. She wished she could bury her face in the menu so that no one could see it..
