"Oh, then I have to go home and tell my mother, otherwise she should be worried."

You don't even have to ask what you're doing, so you're not afraid of being abducted?

Seeing her clear eyes full of trust, Shen Kang raised his hand to light the cigarette and took a long puff.

Then he turned around and went under the eaves to push out the parked bicycle.

His long legs crossed the car seat, and his other leg rested on the ground easily: "Come up."

Following his movements, the cigarette in his mouth also moved twice.

Perhaps because of the long days of driving, a layer of green stubble has grown on his resolute chin, and his prominent Adam's apple is eye-catching.

Lin Xi turned her eyes away, sat in the back seat of the car as she was told, and put her arms around his waist very naturally.

Shen Kang's thin waist suddenly tightened.

Soon he got into the car as if nothing had happened. The two of them left the yard and stopped in front of the Lin Family Courtyard not long after.

"You first..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xi had already gotten out of the car and shouted as he walked into the yard: "Mom, Brother Shen Kang is back."

Originally, Shen Kang wanted to go to town to buy some things and then come for a formal visit. When he heard her say that, he had no choice but to take two puffs of his cigarette, then throw it on the ground and stamp it out. He parked his bicycle and followed her through the door.

"When did you come back?" Fan Xiumei came out of the house and was very happy to see him back.

Shen Kang hurriedly called his aunt, and then replied: "I came back too late last night and didn't come over."

"Mom, my brother and I will go to town and we'll be back in the afternoon."

Fan Xiumei nodded and told Shen Kang, "Let's have dinner at home."

Shen Kang agreed, and after saying goodbye to Fan Xiumei, he took Lin Xi to the town.

The weather has been nice these days, and people on both sides of the road are busy harvesting wheat.

Arriving at the place unknowingly, Shen Kang glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost noon. He turned around and asked, "Go to the restaurant first and then go shopping when you are full?"

Lin Xi nodded and said he had no objection.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of the state-owned hotel, parked the car and walked in.

The conditions in the previous life were not good, and Lin Xi never had the chance to come in. Later, the place was demolished within a few years.

A state-owned hotel in a small county town, the decoration is very simple.

The surrounding walls are painted with green skirting boards that are half a person high, four or five large round tables, and two ceiling fans above the head are spinning feebly.

There are rice steamed buns and flower rolls placed at the window, and a blackboard next to it has the menu numbers and prices of the dishes available today written on them.

Because purchasing and marketing are still under centralized control, you cannot order food at will like in later generations.

Fortunately, it was not time to eat yet, so the two of them found a seat by the window and sat down.

Shen Kang glanced at the window: "What do you want to eat?"

"rice."

"Where's the food?"

Looking at the dishes on the small blackboard, Lin Xi hesitated.

Except for the couple's lung slices, she didn't like the other two dishes, one was dried tofu and the other was small fried fish.

In fact, she has always liked spicy food, but Fan Xiumei is not in good health and cannot eat spicy food, so the dishes at home are relatively light.

Later, when she married into the Zhao family, she had to cater to the Zhao family's tastes, and never once did she truly express her preferences.

She almost subconsciously wanted to say anything.

But when the words came to her lips, she stopped again.

A healthy relationship should not rely on one party blindly forbearing.

She also needs to express her true self and let Shen Kang truly understand her, so that their relationship can last long.

"I like spicy food, how about the couple's lung slices?"

Shen Kang nodded, got up and ordered the couple's lung slices, as well as a dried tofu with hot pepper and two bowls of rice.

When I came back, I still had a bottle of orange soda in my hand.

Lin Xi looked up: "Brother, do you want to drink soda?"

Shen Kang picked up the chopsticks, opened the cap of the soda bottle with a little force, and put it in front of her: "I don't want to drink it. It's hot, you kids should like it."

Lin Xi was happy, but she couldn't help but retorted: "I'm almost nineteen, and I'm no longer a child."

Shen Kang's eyes fell on her towering position, and he quickly turned away without leaving any trace.

It didn't take long for the food to arrive. It was rare that she could eat her favorite dish. Lin Xi was very happy and even asked for an extra bowl of rice.

The result may be that she drank too much soda and halfway through the meal, she couldn't eat anymore.

But it had been years since she had any rice left, especially in front of Shen Kang. She could only count the grains of rice, with her face wishing to bury it in the bowl.

If I had known earlier I would not have been greedy, but now I am really riding a tiger with a hard time getting off.

"If you can't eat, don't hold on." Suddenly a big hand reached out and took away the bowl in front of her.

Shen Kang pulled all the remaining vegetables on the table into the bowl, mixed them a few times, and started to eat them with big mouthfuls.

Lin Xi was a little embarrassed: "Brother, that's my leftover food."

Shen Kang didn't take it seriously: "Don't waste it. Besides, it's yours, so it doesn't matter."

With just one sentence, Lin Xi's mood suddenly relaxed.

After eating delicious food and being surrounded by people she liked, Lin Xi didn't let go of her lips from the state-owned hotel to the first supply and marketing store.

The supply and marketing store has three floors in total and is one of the few high-rise buildings in the town.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a hall with handrails on both sides of the front door.

The first floor sells grain, oil and some non-staple foods, the second floor sells electrical appliances, radios, TVs and bicycles, and the third floor sells fabrics, shoes, hats, ready-made clothes, woolen yarn, etc.

Lin Xi followed Shen Kang straight to the third floor.

"You help me choose. Nai, mom and aunt each have one piece of fabric."

Lin Xi raised her head: "My mother also buys it?"

Shen Kang hummed: "She will be our mother in a while."

Lin Xi groaned, her eyes fell on the shelves behind the counter, and she began to select carefully.

Finally, she chose a piece of dark green fabric and two pieces of dark blue fabric with white floral patterns. They should be good for making outer clothes.

After making the selection, Shen Kang took out the money and cloth tickets.

Looking at the thick dozen coupons in his hand, in addition to cloth stamps and food stamps, there were also many industrial coupons.

In this era where you need a voucher to buy anything, industrial vouchers can buy a lot of things.

A kettle, a radio, leather shoes, etc. are all needed.

"Brother, you have so many tickets."

Seeing her eyes shining, Shen Kang couldn't help but feel a little amused: "The army distributes them every month, and I usually save a lot without using them very much. Tell me what you want."

Lin Xi raised her head: "How about I just ask you for it directly?"

Shen Kang: "Then it depends on your performance."

Lin Xi leaned into his ear and whispered: "Is the beauty trap okay?"

The faint fragrance rushed into the tip of the nose, and the heavy fragrance made the breath stagnate.

I subconsciously touched the cigarette in my trouser pocket, but thinking that this was a shopping mall, I had no choice but to endure it.

"Do you have a bicycle ticket?"

Shen Kang is really there.

Before coming back this time, he shamelessly went to the leader to ask for help.

What others have, his wife must also have.

So in addition to bicycles, there are also sewing machines and TVs, and he has to buy these things for her.
