Chapter 35 Three bowls of rice in a row

As soon as he entered the door today, Zhao Yong shouted very loudly: "Brother Cai, ask my sister-in-law to fry two hard vegetables for us!"

us?

Zheng Cai looked up from behind the cashier and saw Li Manjun following Zhao Yong, his eyes widened instantly.

Oh, it’s done!

Zheng Cai responded loudly: "Xiaoyong, are you taking your girlfriend to dinner?"

Zhao Yong glanced at Li Manjun, he couldn't hide his joy, his eyebrows almost flew up, "Yes!"

Li Manjun asked: "Are two dishes enough? Add one more, I'll treat you today."

Just when Zhao Yong was about to speak, Li Manjun immediately added: "Don't refuse!"

Zhao Yong was not used to it, so he awkwardly asked Zheng Cai to add another dish, muttering, "It's the man's duty to treat guests when eating. It makes me feel embarrassed."

Li Manjun didn't care whether he meant it or not. She was almost hungry. She brought the food, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Three meaty hard vegetables left a mouthful of flavor, and I finished three bowls of rice in a row!

Zhao Yong has also been hungry for a long time. He has been relying on four meat buns in the morning to survive until now. He can't fill his stomach without eating five or six bowls of rice.

The three dishes were eaten by the two of them, and Zhang Huimei also finished the bowl of rice.

The meal cost twelve yuan, and each meat dish cost four yuan. The portion was solid and the taste was good. Li Manjun felt that it was well worth the money.

"Are you busy tomorrow?" Li Manjun suddenly asked.

Zhao Yong shook his head, "It's okay, what are you doing?" Are you going on a date?

"Then can you accompany me to Xiao Pan's home tomorrow?" Li Manjun thought of the gangsters he met last time and had to be careful.

Knowing that she was going to be close to danger, she would never put herself in a dangerous situation without making any preparations.

Zhao Yong thought it was a date and readily agreed.

After dinner, it was already 8:30 in the evening. Li Manjun wanted to find a hotel near the parking lot so that he could keep an eye on the goods.

Zhao Yong took her to a small hotel opposite his home, which cost 20 yuan a night. The environment was good and it had a bathroom.

The main reason was that he was reassured by the proximity.

When crossing the road, Zhao Yong mustered up the courage to reach out to Li Manjun. Li Manjun glanced at him and then put his hand on him.

The big hand held her, the palm of his hand was warm and a little hot, but no one let go.

The smile on Zhao Yong's lips never faded. Night would deepen people's emotions. He didn't want to be separated from Li Manjun at all.

After she completed the check-in procedures and went to find the room, he followed her all the way to the door of the room, then waved his hand pretending to be indifferent and told her:

"There's a phone number at the front desk. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

Li Manjun was only thinking about the safety of the truck. "No one will steal anything, right? Is it okay to park the car in that yard?"

Zhao Yong nodded, "The gatekeeper has been helping us look at the goods before, and there has never been any mistakes. Moreover, my house is upstairs. I can hear any noise immediately. Don't worry."

"You've had a tiring day today, so take a good rest."

Li Manjun felt relieved and said with a smile: "You too, thank you for your hard work today."

"Little things." Zhao Yong didn't feel hard at all. Compared with his usual work, today's work was nothing.

"Then I'm in?" Li Manjun pointed to the door and reminded Zhao Yong that he could leave.

Zhao Yong seemed to have just come to his senses. He said, "Oh," and asked her to go in first. He once again told her to lock the door, and then he left uneasily.

Li Manjun stood behind the door and listened to the footsteps walking away. He threw his backpack on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a look first.

The bathroom, which was less than two square feet, had a squat toilet and a washstand. There was a mirror on the wall and a towel hanging on the back of the door, which looked like it had been used.

As for hot water showers, don't even think about it. There is a separate bathroom, so you don't have to go out to the toilet in the middle of the night. Li Manjun is already very satisfied.

The small hotel room was not big, about ten square meters, with a small bed of one meter and two meters inside. There was a bedside table beside the bed, and a TV cabinet opposite the bed, but there was no TV on it, only a kettle.

This is all the room has, no disposable slippers, no disposable toothbrushes, water cups, towels and hot water.

The sheets and duvet covers even felt a little damp, and the floor was not carpet or tiles, but gray cement.

In the 1990s, small hotels generally had this configuration. Li Manjun was impeccable. He opened his backpack, took out an old T-shirt used as pajamas and his own towel and went to the bathroom.

If there was no hot water, I simply took cold water and wiped the sweat off my body. I cleaned myself up and put on my pajamas. The street outside the hotel had become quiet.

All the fresh entertainment is in the development zone. The residents in the old city turn off their lights and go to bed at 8 or 9 o'clock. The surrounding area is very quiet, with only the occasional taxi and tour guide passing by.

Li Manjun turned off the light and lay down. She thought she would not fall asleep soon, but maybe she was tired from riding in the car during the day and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yong woke up.

Li Manjun was worried about staying alone in the small hotel, so he knocked on the door with the breakfast he bought before half past six.

Li Manjun was still dreaming. She had drawn the curtains tightly, and the dim environment in the room made it difficult to tell the specific time.

It wasn't until the rhythmic knocking on the door rang that I suddenly woke up from my sleep.

"Who is it?" Li Manjun put on his long-sleeved coat and walked towards the door.

Zhao Yong's voice came from outside the door, "It's me, Zhao Yong, I brought you breakfast."

Li Manjun responded with a sigh, pulled the bolt on the door, unlocked it, and finally opened the door.

Zhao Yong felt relieved when he heard the clicking sounds of the door opening.

The door opened, and the sunlight in the corridor shone into the dim room. The first thing that caught Zhao Yong's eyes was a pair of straight and long legs.

His heart skipped a beat and he tilted his head to remind, "You're not wearing pants."

"Ah?" Li Manjun looked down at the five-point sweatpants he was wearing. Don't they count as pants?

"You come in first." Li Manjun yawned lazily, walked to the window on his heels, and opened the curtains with a bang.

The golden morning light poured into the small room, and the dust under the light was like shining elves, falling on the ends of her hair, eyelashes, shoulders, and forearms, as if her whole body was covered with a layer of divine light.

It was obviously just an ordinary loose T-shirt, but she looked extremely lazy when wearing it.

Li Manjun shook his long hair, skillfully grasped it into a ponytail with both hands, and tied it with a rubber band. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Yong standing by the door in a daze, as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points.

His intensely aggressive black eyes stared straight into her golden eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Li Manjun pointed to the TV cabinet, "Put it on the table. You go first." She looked around for a week but couldn't find a stool, and pointed to the bed, "Sit anywhere you like while I wash my face."

After explaining, he carried his trousers and towel into the bathroom. When he came out again, his legs were already covered by his trousers.

Zhao Yong looked away angrily and licked his lips unconsciously, feeling a little regretful.

"What did you buy?" Li Manjun asked, "Did you eat it yourself?"

She saw that there were a lot of things on the table, and they didn't seem to be enough for one person.
