Era: Start as a Buyer

Chapter 263 Let's Get Along Slowly, Okay?

"Zheng Ke, thank you so much."

"It's just a small favor, don't be so polite."

"How about this, it's almost noon, I'll treat you to a meal, there seems to be a restaurant over there."

"Luo Cheng, the restaurant is too expensive, there's really no need for this."

Coming out of the police station, Luo Cheng and Zheng Ke chatted under a big tree. Coming here as a guarantor, it might just be a one-time appearance, there's no substantial loss. But this is actually a risky thing. If Luo Cheng is really a problematic person, then as a guarantor, he will also be implicated.

So Luo Cheng really wanted to treat Zheng Ke to a meal, but eating out is a luxury for most people these days. Eating in a restaurant requires not only money but also food stamps.

"Zheng Ke, I have pancakes and meat buns in my bag, it won't cost a fortune to treat you to these."

"Pancakes, they smell so good, thank you then."

Pancakes and buns are the daily rations that Luo Cheng prepared for himself. He's a big man, and he eats a lot. It's just that compared to when he didn't work, he eats a lot less. But he could still eat two bowls of rice. In the past, eating more was nothing.

Even if the pancakes were cold, it was okay if they were not taken out of the bag. If they were taken out, people who could not eat freely in this era would be extremely sensitive to the slightest smell. And the pancakes Luo Cheng took were the kind that were purely fried. In fact, the pancakes of Luo Cheng's era did have oil, but like making pan-fried buns, they were fried with water after brushing some oil.

So the pancakes of Luo Cheng's era actually didn't have much oil when they were taken directly with hands. And the pancakes he brought from the future era, the smell of fried oil, made Zheng Ke swallow his saliva as soon as he took them out.

However, eating only pancakes and buns, which were cold, was not a big problem, but it was better to get some water to drink. Luo Cheng had a kettle on him, but Zheng Ke came out temporarily and didn't bring much water with him.

"Luo Cheng, the magazine has allocated me a staff dormitory. Why don't you go over there and sit down."

"It's convenient."

"What's inconvenient? Let's go."

"Okay."

Luo Cheng invited Zheng Ke to eat pancakes and buns. The other party invited him to sit down in the dormitory. He also felt that the other party was inviting him sincerely, so he agreed. This person is in a foreign country. It must be said that it is really good to meet a friend, and she is a girl who looks pleasing to the eye.

So the two chatted all the way. Luo Cheng asked her about her situation in the magazine, and she also asked about Luo Cheng's work progress in Jiangcheng in the past few days.

Luo Cheng didn't hide anything. His work was okay. He purchased a batch of canned food. He said that he would send a few canned food to Zheng Ke in a few days. This shocked Zheng Ke at Luo Cheng's ability. She was also tempted by canned food, but she couldn't ask Luo Cheng to give it away for free. She was very grateful that he could sell her a few canned food for money.

Luo Cheng also understood Zheng Ke's current situation. The atmosphere in the editorial office was still good. Discuss some writing skills and the type of articles needed by the youth magazine. In terms of work, Zheng Ke is still in the state of learning, but there is one thing. Zheng Ke said that she just came to the magazine and someone wanted to pursue her.

What bothered Zheng Ke a little was that the other party was not only 28 years old, but also married before. She felt that it was not suitable.

"He is a toad wanting swan meat. You have to buy a coal stove at noon. I will accompany you later."

"This~~, OK."

Zheng Ke responded a little shyly, wondering in her mind whether Luo Cheng also wanted to pursue her. Because it just said that Li Chen pursued her and wanted to accompany her to the supply and marketing cooperative at noon, but she refused. Then Luo Cheng said to accompany her now, I don’t know if it means that Li Chen is not good, then he can?

And she really has a good impression of Luo Cheng, humorous and handsome. And one thing is that as a literary youth, she is generally a love-dead fan. What others see as a chance encounter is a romantic encounter in the eyes of female literary youth.

In the future, we can say that we met on the train to a certain city. This beginning is full of yearning. If it were in a different place, it would be different. For example, when going to the public toilet, one person came out of the toilet and the other was about to go in, and they met by chance. What's so romantic about that? According to the future era, people who look so good also have to poop.

Luo Cheng didn't know that Zheng Ke was a love-minded young man. He was just simply grateful to her. When he heard that she was going to buy a coal stove, it was normal for him, as a man, to show some courtesy.

Anyway, for some reason, Luo Cheng felt that on the way to Zheng Ke's dormitory, the two of them had always kept at least half a meter apart, but because he agreed to let him go to buy a coal stove together, the distance between Zheng Ke and him was shortened a lot. At least when Luo Cheng turned his head to talk to Zheng Ke, he could see Zheng Ke's delicate face clearly.

Not long after, Luo Cheng arrived at Zheng Ke's dormitory, where there was Zheng Ke's thermos. Zheng Ke told Luo Cheng that there was a place to get hot water across the building downstairs, and two bottles of hot water cost one cent. If you only get one bottle of hot water, you will be given a hot water ticket. Next time you can get another bottle of hot water with the ticket.

But even so, there are still many people who are reluctant to spend a penny. Therefore, most of the people who go to the hot water room to get hot water are men, such as Li Chen. And most girls in this era are people who know how to live.

Just like Zheng Ke, when she bought a coal stove, she didn't just buy a stove, she also bought a kettle for boiling water and a pot for cooking.

Zheng Ke poured two cups of water, one for Luo Cheng and one for himself. Luo Cheng also naturally took out food from his bag. It was May and the weather was not very hot, but if there was a cup of boiled water, the pancakes and buns did not need to be heated.

Zheng Ke did not expect that the pancakes Luo Cheng brought were actually meat, and there were some other ingredients in the meat. The taste was really delicious. Zheng Ke was a little embarrassed to eat this food. If it was a vegetarian pancake, he would have eaten it. But this was meat, and the portion was not small. Everyone’s monthly meat ticket quota was only two taels.

After eating two in a row, seeing Luo Cheng handed over another one, Zheng Ke hesitated for a moment, but still took it. She decided that she would treat him back next time. This time the pancakes were really delicious.

In this era, even if you are dating, whether it is giving gifts or treating your partner to a meal, you treat each other. For example, if a man gives a woman a comb, the woman may give a man a pair of gloves or something, and a scarf or something when it is cold.

I ate two more in a row. If I continue to eat, I will definitely be able to eat more. But in this era, people don’t even expect to be full with coarse grains, so how can I expect to be full with meat pancakes?

"Luo Cheng, it’s almost done. Let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Luo Cheng nodded. There was still a lot of food in his cloth bag. He took out two more buns and an apple. The red apples made Zheng Ke look shy like a girl again.

Zheng Ke dared to confirm that Luo Cheng was interested in her. Otherwise, he would not be so good to her for no reason, even if he helped her.

I was polite before, and it seemed a bit awkward to be polite again, so I said thank you and put the buns and apples away. Then I went out happily with Luo Cheng. They all came to Jiangcheng from other provinces, but they felt the company of a stranger.

Accompanying Zheng Ke to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, the things she wanted to buy were daily necessities, and they did not require receipts. This kind of things is useless if you buy too much, and they are necessities for many families. So coal stoves, iron pots, and kettles are all ticket-free.

After going to the supply and marketing cooperative, Luo Cheng helped Zheng Ke carry all the things she bought back home. He sweated a little, so he planned to sit for a while before leaving. He had planned to go to the street office to inquire about the house in the morning, but now he can only go there in the afternoon.

"Luo Cheng, don't move, I'll help you wipe the sweat."

"This~~."

Luo Cheng was a little confused. This action seemed a bit too much, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Zheng Ke did this, in fact, she was entangled in her heart for a long time. She decided that Luo Cheng was so proactive. If she didn't have that idea, it would be fine, but it just happened~~, so it would be better to give her some feedback with actions, and when she helped Luo Cheng wipe the sweat, she could also roll up her sleeves, and she still had the bracelet Luo Cheng gave her on her arm.

Seeing the beauty, the color didn't know where it came from, and she was pulled by the waist.

Luo Cheng is not a saint, and Zheng Ke's appearance is really good for his aesthetics. This is just like chasing stars. Some people think that someone is obviously very good-looking, but some people cannot reach that point and think that they are very ordinary.

Therefore, Luo Cheng was impulsive. When Zheng Ke was helping him wipe his sweat, because he was very close to her, Luo Cheng suddenly made a fool of himself and hugged Zheng Ke's waist. But soon he thought of Zhao Qian and his children, and let Zheng Ke go. He sat there at a loss and wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say it.

In this era, Luo Cheng's behavior could be reported to the police station.

Luo Cheng was able to control his behavior and let Zheng Ke go immediately because he had a wife and children. People with strong moral sense are like this, there is no way.

But Zheng Ke was not like this inside. In fact, she was still disgusted by Luo Cheng's hug just now. It was too fast. Speaking of it, this was only the second time they met. If everyone was such a casual person in Luo Cheng's eyes, Zheng Ke might refuse his pursuit in the future.

But Luo Cheng's subsequent behavior and awkward appearance were recognized by Zheng Ke again. This is clearly a love that comes from nowhere, but is deeply in love. But he probably realized that such behavior was developing too fast, so he sat there awkwardly and blamed himself.

After being released by Luo Cheng, Zheng Ke walked to the side and kept some distance, just looking at the awkward Luo Cheng for a long time. Finally, he walked to Luo Cheng and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Luo Cheng, let's get along slowly."

"You~~."

"I understand your idea, but if we are together, we need a lot of understanding."

"I~~."

"Luo Cheng, I understand, I don't blame you just now."

Luo Cheng's color moved. Just now he really wanted to tell Zheng Ke about his current situation. In addition to not getting a marriage certificate, because of age issues, he couldn't get a marriage certificate with Zhao Qian in the city. But he is married and has children.

But Luo Cheng doesn't want to explain now. Maybe he has been in the future for a long time. Under the surface of strict morality, he has long been corrupted. The moral sense he used to have, at most, prevented him from actively provoking other women.

Now it is obvious that Zheng Ke has misunderstood something. Luo Cheng thinks she is really too naive. After all, the two have only met for the second time. Even if it wasn't a misunderstanding, it was too easy to pursue her.

In fact, Luo Cheng misunderstood again. Zheng Ke was actually very difficult to pursue, otherwise when she was in college, many people pursued her but none of them succeeded. She was actually living in a very realistic society, too idealistic. To put it simply, if a person doesn't suit her style, she will be very reserved no matter how outstanding you are.

And Luo Cheng just happened to be in his shoes. If it weren't for Zheng Ke's inner pride and reserve, she would have wanted to go to the guesthouse near the station to see if Luo Cheng was there on the first day she came here. But as a girl, she was still reserved and didn't go, and stayed in a nearby guesthouse for a day.

Zheng believed that fate was possible, even if she didn't go to other guesthouses because of her reserve. But the next day, she still thought that it was fate, but today the police station came to her and said that Luo Cheng was under investigation for taking photos, and asked if she was Luo Cheng's friend and needed to be a guarantor.

Zheng Ke, who was brainless in love, thought that this might be fate given by God, with twists and turns.

If Luo Cheng knew Zheng Ke's heart, he would be very worried, where did the twists and turns come from. You just stayed in a guesthouse, and fate came and went, and then you came to guarantee, which was a lot of twists and turns.

"Zheng Ke, you are about to go to work."

"Yes, but the magazine is very close to here, Luo Cheng, come out and I will show you. You can see our magazine in the corridor of the dormitory here."

Luo Cheng listened to Zheng Ke's words, walked out of the room, and looked at the place where Zheng Ke pointed. A tall building may not be a big deal in the future era, but in this era, when buildings are high-end houses, a taller building is indeed a landmark.

In the corridor, you can still see the sign of the Youth Magazine over there. This seems to be a place to commemorate the times. Luo Cheng wants to take a photo. And he is no longer a straight man who knows nothing. He may still be straight in the future era, because it is too difficult to please a girl in the future era.

But after receiving various baptisms in the future era, at least Luo Cheng has become a man who loves women very much in his own era. For example, other men and their wives are together because of the hard life, and they are all trivial matters in life all year round. There are no holiday gifts, ordinary surprises, and men should be like this and that.

In this day and age, a man who doesn't hit a woman is considered a good man, and a woman who can make money to live is blessed.

Luo Cheng is different now. Just by saying this, Zhao Qian thinks he is the best man in the world. She will follow Luo Cheng wholeheartedly, and will be a member of the Luo family in life and a ghost of the Luo family in death. It is conceivable that even if Luo Cheng suddenly remembers to give Zhao Qian something in a month or two, this will be incomparable to countless people.

"Zheng Ke, stand here, I will take a photo of you, and take a photo of you and the magazine together."

"Ah, Luo Cheng, you want to take a photo for me, then wait a minute, I will tidy up first."

It's really romantic, Zheng Ke responded with a smile, tidying up means simply tidying up one's own image. Just like some show-offs, wet their hair with their hands, fiddle with it a few times, and make themselves feel very handsome.
