Chapter 224 Childhood Sweetheart, Female Educated Youth 8
Bai Chenggong looked at the tea egg Gu Jianhua had given him and hesitated.
Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo are both very generous people.
You can always get something in return for doing something for them.
Bai Chenggong deeply understood this point yesterday.
If he refuses, will they be angry?
That way, I won't be able to get involved with those two young masters anymore.
As for Jiang He, if it were in the past, Bai Chenggong was certain that he would never abandon him. He only needed to show a troubled expression, and Jiang He would find a way to help him.
However, recent events have caused Bai Chenggong to waver.
Will Jiang He help me again like before?
He said he hadn't eaten, so would Jiang He give him food?
He said he was too tired, so would Jiang He help him with the work?
If he says he has no money, will Jiang He give him money?
The success rate of Bai Chenggong is uncertain.
Bai Chenggong glanced at Jiang He, who had already left with two other female educated youths.
Bai Chenggong would never stoop to speaking servilely to Jiang He in front of others.
She lifted her foot and followed Gu Jianhua.
Let's find an opportunity to talk to Jiang He alone later.
Bai Chenggong lifted his feet and followed Gu Jianhua.
Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo were using Bai Chenggong as a tool.
Buying and carrying things in front of you is a waste of time and effort.
Both of his hands were full.
The two also went to look at bicycles, but unfortunately the supply and marketing cooperative was out of stock.
Bai Chenggong also gained a new understanding of the two men's boldness.
When buying things, I only care about whether they are good or not, and I don't ask about the price.
Buy only what you want, not necessarily the most cost-effective item.
They won't spend ages calculating the price; they'll just hand over the money and the receipt as soon as the salesperson tells them.
Bai Chenggong longed for the day when he could be so carefree, buying whatever he wanted.
Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo walked around and felt they had bought enough.
These are probably the items I need to buy.
If we need anything later, we can just come back and buy it.
The two were about to walk outside when they saw Bai Chenggong behind them and stopped to ask him a question.
"We've finished shopping. Is there anything you'd like to buy?"
"I don't have anything to buy." Bai Chenggong shook his head. He didn't have a ticket, so he couldn't buy most of the things here.
If you're going to buy anything, you can only buy slightly flawed items.
Under the gazes of the two men, Bai Chenggong didn't bother to ask if there were any defective products.
That would make the gap between him and them seem huge.
The things he was carrying were all high-quality items, and none of the sales clerks showed any impatience.
If he were to buy a defective item, it would seem out of place with what he already has.
Seeing that Bai Chenggong didn't want to buy anything, Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo simply walked outside.
As for carrying things?
Isn't that the job Bai Chenggong is supposed to do?
They gave him an egg as payment.
Bai Chenggong raised his arm, slung the things over his shoulder, and followed the two.
Jiang He and the other two were already waiting outside.
The three of them didn't have much stuff, mostly just some snacks.
Gu Jianhua suggested that everyone go to a fancy restaurant for a meal.
No one had any objections.
Bai Chenggong hesitated for a moment, thinking that he hadn't brought any food coupons.
But everyone else had already headed straight for the grand hotel.
Jiang He seemed to realize that Bai Chenggong hadn't followed, so she turned around and called out.
"Brother Bai, let's go, this way."
Bai Chenggong's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang He's voice, and he strode forward.
"I'm coming right away."
So Jiang He really does care about him.
When he says he didn't bring any food coupons, Jiang He will definitely say she'll buy them for him.
Jiang He usually buys two identical portions, and she'll even give him a larger portion because she's worried he won't have enough to eat.
As Bai Chenggong thought about it, his heart burned with excitement.
Quickly catch up with the group.
It's lunchtime, and the restaurant is usually crowded.
There were no six seats together.
The female educated youth sat at one table, and the male educated youth sat at another table.
Gu Jianhua said he would treat them to this meal and asked Wang Jianguo and Bai Chenggong what they wanted to eat.
Wang Jianguo suggested a braised fish, and Bai Chenggong hesitated for a moment before saying anything was fine.
Gu Jianhua went to order the food.
Wang Jianguo said he would go with him.
Bai Chenggong was instructed to sit in his seat and watch the things.
Bai Chenggong sat down and guarded the things.
If Gu Jianhua is treating, then he doesn't need to pay with cash.
He can sit here comfortably now.
When Jiang He heard Gu Jianhua say he was treating, she walked over to Bai Chenggong.
"Brother Bai, aren't you going to order? Or I can watch the food for you while you go order."
"Jiang He, no need. Gu Jianhua said he's treating, I'll just stay here and watch the things."
"If Brother Bai doesn't need any help here, then I'll head over now."
"Okay, you go eat first."
Bai Chenggong smiled and nodded.
Jiang He turned around and went to her seat.
Inviting someone to dinner? If someone invites you, you have to reciprocate.
I wonder if I can get this meal back?
Bai Chenggong watched Jiang He's departing figure, feeling quite pleased.
Jiang He even came over to check if he had eaten.
Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo have returned.
We ordered braised pork, braised fish, Mapo tofu, and three bowls of rice.
"Come on, eat up. Bai Chenggong, don't be shy, have more."
"Okay, okay, Gu Jianhua, thank you. You've gone to so much trouble."
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Gu Jianhua and Wang Jianguo chatted while eating.
Bai Chenggong silently ate his rice.
He couldn't understand what Gu Jianhua and the other person were talking about, and he couldn't join in the conversation.
And this white rice smells so good.
This braised pork is delicious, this braised fish is delicious, and this Mapo tofu is very spicy. It's perfect with rice.
The braised pork was in front of Gu Jianhua, and the braised fish was in front of Wang Jianguo.
Bai Chenggong finished the piece that Gu Jianhua had put on his plate. He wanted more, but he felt it wasn't proper for him to use his chopsticks to pick up meat.
After all, someone else was treating him, and he was just freeloading. It wasn't appropriate for him to keep focusing on eating the meat.
Bai Chenggong focused solely on making the Mapo Tofu in front of him.
When Gu Jianhua wanted to pick up a piece of tofu, he found that Bai Chenggong had already finished the whole bowl of Mapo Tofu.
The chopsticks that have been extended can only be taken back.
"Bai Chenggong, you like to eat tofu?"
"Mmm, delicious, goes very well with rice."
Bai Chenggong shoveled the last bite of rice into his mouth.
"Hehe, as long as you like it, that's good."
"I'm full, you can continue eating."
Bai Chenggong put down his chopsticks.
The aroma of braised pork kept wafting into his nose, and Bai Chenggong tried his best not to look to the side to avoid swallowing his saliva.
Gu Jianhua asked Wang Jianguo if he had eaten enough and if he wanted to order another dish.
Wang Jianguo shook his head and said, "No need, just eat it like this."
The two finished eating quickly.
On the female educated youth side, Li Qing and Zhao Jia were already eating together, and they got along well, so they ate together for this meal as well.
Jiang He didn't join them, but they did try some of each other's dishes.
After finishing their meal, they didn't go anywhere else and went straight back to Da Tao Village.
Bai Chenggong didn't feel tired at all because he had eaten a hearty meal and carried things all the way.
They even felt that such a good thing could happen a few more times.
