Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading

Chapter 228: The State-Run Restaurant Treats Guests

A few minutes later, the bustling street presented quite an unusual scene.

A young man with a handsome face was carrying a tall and robust man behind him.

The two were riding together on a bicycle, and the small bike was bearing far more than it ought to.

Suddenly, the bike took a turn, causing the tall man behind to sway. He swiftly reached out to steady himself by grabbing the waist of the man in front.

One was handsome and pretty, the other was upright and good-looking, and the scene surprisingly had a bit of harmony.

"Oh dear, the world sure is deteriorating, and people’s hearts have changed!"

An elderly comrade sighed as he stroked his sparse beard.

A young girl nearby, her eyes sparkling, exclaimed, "Ah, their relationship is really good!"

Just as the two cyclists passed by the girl, Song Weidong’s hand trembled, and the bicycle nearly crashed into the nearby wall. Su Wenbing quickly reacted, his long legs reaching down to stabilise the falling bike.

"Two grown men, why can’t you ride steadily?"

Su Wenbing sneered, then stretched out his long legs and stood up from the rear seat, "Sit behind me, I’ll ride."

Song Weidong, usually rebellious, obediently sat on the back seat facing what might be his future brother-in-law, "Thanks, brother."

Su Wenbing was taken aback, "Brother? Nothing’s settled between you two yet! Call me Comrade Su."

Song Weidong complied, "Yes, Comrade Su."

Feeling content, Su Wenbing swung his long legs onto the bike and pedaled forward vigorously, followed by a surprised shout, "Gosh! He’s so attentive!"

Whoosh!

Su Wenbing felt like he’d taken an internal hit, and with an unsteady hand, the bike crashed into the wall, flipping him over.

Before he could properly sit, Song Weidong was tossed out, but he managed to catch himself with his hands, standing upright.

Su Xiaoxiao just turned the corner on her bike and immediately braked upon witnessing the scene, puzzled, "Comrade Song, Brother, what are you two doing?"

Don’t worry, Su Wenbing picked the bike up from the ground, tidied his disheveled hair, and glared at the girl who spoke earlier.

Blame it on that young lady saying things out of place. He had normal orientation; why would he like a man?

When the girl caught his glare, her face turned red, she awkwardly coughed and diverted her gaze.

As Su Wenbing was about to mount the bike again, he remembered the girl’s words and his face darkened, "Anyway, it’s not far. Let’s walk."

Song Weidong pondered silently, indeed the Su Family brother couldn’t ride well, luckily he reacted quickly.

"Yeah, it’s close, walking is better for digestion... can eat more later."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Big brother, is it really okay to say that in front of her? She’s the one treating, you know!

In an instant, she slightly regretted, thinking it might have been better to let Song Weidong take the blame.

The three soon arrived at the state-run restaurant, and Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the menu on the small blackboard and asked them, "What do you want to eat? Order whatever."

Su Wenbing remembered it was his younger sister treating, so he thought to save her money, only asking for a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, a small bowl.

Song Weidong, not holding back, ordered three dishes and a soup, two meat and one vegetable, quite extravagant.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit distressed, but then thought about the expensive watch he gifted her, and figured she should treat him to this meal.

The three found a spot in the corner to sit. It was still early, so the restaurant wasn’t crowded, and the dishes arrived quickly.

Song Weidong pushed the sweet and sour pork and braised pork towards Su Xiaoxiao, "Comrade Su, don’t be shy..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Wenbing was already serving his sister a big piece of braised pork with no reservation, and took a piece for himself.

The pork was five-layered, with a glossy surface, looking quite greasy.

Su Xiaoxiao’s face was full of resistance, "Brother, I don’t like fatty meat."

"Oh, then eat this."

Su Wenbing said as he picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Su Xiaoxiao, and then reached for the braised pork to place in his bowl when suddenly another pair of chopsticks appeared, snatching the braised pork before he did.

"He’s jealous, he’s jealous!"

Just as Su Wenbing furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction, he heard an excited whisper from nearby.

Turning his head, he met a pair of gossip-filled eyes.

Sitting nearby, with two dark braids and eyes lighting up, was none other than the young girl they stumbled upon earlier.

Su Wenbing felt his heart constrict. He thought he surely had some past-life vendetta with this girl, otherwise why would she continually annoy him?

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the sweet and sour pork and fried cauliflower towards Su Xiaoxiao, "Little sister, you eat this."

Song Weidong quickly pushed the tomato and egg soup over, "Comrade Su, have some soup."

Su Wenbing glared at him, what was this kid being so attentive for?

Facing his gaze, Song Weidong thought he wanted more noodles, so he quickly said, "Brother, I’ll go get you another bowl of noodles, how about beef noodles?"

Saying so, not waiting for Su Wenbing to respond, he hurried off to get the noodles.

Su Wenbing was about to say something when he noticed heated gazes directed towards him. Casting a glance, he saw the young girl from before slurping noodles one by one while glancing at him.

What’s with this girl? Why won’t she leave him alone? Even sheep shearing isn’t done like this.

Soon, Song Weidong returned with noodles, and the three resumed eating.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t eat much, having half a white bun and a bowl of soup, she was almost full.

Then she watched the two opposite her eating.

When Song Weidong inadvertently met her gaze, he immediately lowered his head, his ears turning red as he ate diligently.

Seeing him eat quickly, Su Wenbing didn’t back down, speeding up his pace. In the blink of an eye, the plates and bowls were cleaned up.

As Su Xiaoxiao prepared to pay the bill, Su Wenbing stood up first, "Little sister, wait here, I’ll go settle the bill."

Without waiting for her response, he went straight ahead.

But when Su Wenbing reached the counter, he learned that Song Weidong had already paid the bill while eating noodles.

Unexpectedly, this kid wasn’t so bad.

Su Wenbing thought to himself, leisurely returning with his long strides, just in time to bump into a petite figure.

To be precise, the other person directly collided into his embrace.

"Sorry, sorry, comrade, I didn’t mean to."

Zhao Lingling spilt half a bowl of noodle soup onto Su Wenbing’s chest.

Now, the noodle soup mixed with the remaining noodles slid down his white shirt, revealing a vest faintly visible underneath, along with sharply defined muscles.

Zhao Lingling’s face flushed, this man’s physique was really good!

Su Xiaoxiao witnessed the scene and hurried over.

Just about to speak, someone called her, "Comrade Su?"
