Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Like Pulling a Skirt

Hearing this question from Yan Zhen Guo, Gu Fuqiao quickly thought it over. It’s the 1980s now, and no one really believes in those superstitious things anymore.

So Yan Zhen Guo probably wouldn’t think in that mystical direction either.

Thinking this, Gu Fuqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up seriously at Yan Zhen Guo and said, "I might have been a bit too much before, but we still have to live this life somehow... right?"

While shifting the blame to Yan Zhen Guo, Gu Fuqiao also cleared herself up a bit.

Yan Zhen Guo thought she was right. Chen Bing wasn’t wrong; when the relationship with a wife improves, a woman will also start to own up to their marriage.

"The cloth and grain coupons are in the drawer in the room, along with some money to buy groceries." Yan Zhen Guo said this and then continued to walk forward.

Watching Yan Zhen Guo’s cold and hard back, Gu Fuqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally believed it.

There were quite a number of people coming to the cafeteria to eat, and quite a few women were lined up for food, with a few family members mixed in sporadically.

Gu Fuqiao thought, most family members probably cook at home themselves!

"You sit here, I’ll go get the food." Yan Zhen Guo pointed to a table beside and said to Gu Fuqiao.

"Mm, okay." With someone else doing it for her, why not?

Besides, this cafeteria looks almost the same as the one from school back then, just a little more old-fashioned.

Gu Fuqiao had boarded at school since middle school and she had quite a grudge towards school cafeterias. She thought, she better cook at home herself in the future!

"Hey, look, that’s her..."

"Mm..."

Some hesitant voices came over from the side and Gu Fuqiao’s sharp ears caught them. She instinctively turned around and, sure enough, saw two family members in shirts drinking soy milk and talking.

When those two family members saw Gu Fuqiao turning her head, they quickly and awkwardly shifted a little apart, "This soy milk is so good..."

"Yeah..." said the other military wife.

Gu Fuqiao remembered that when Sister-in-law Wang made a scene at her house yesterday, these two family members also came to watch the commotion.

It seems these two family members don’t like her.

But it’s normal; the original character wasn’t a likable person anyway.

There are so many people in the world, not everyone can like her. As long as she doesn’t do those self-destructive things like the original character, it’s fine.

As for what those family members said, why should she care!

Gu Fuqiao stopped looking at those two family members and just turned her head back as Yan Zhen Guo was bringing breakfast back.

"After we eat, I’ll go to work first. You buy some groceries and cook at home. Generally, I will come back at twelve to eat lunch." Yan Zhen Guo said, grabbing a steamed bun.

Gu Fuqiao nodded, thinking it was a good thing she tucked ten bucks in her pocket with the money left from yesterday, so she could buy groceries later.

"By the way, where is the vegetable market?" Gu Fuqiao thought and asked.

Without lifting his head, Yan Zhen Guo said while eating, "Exit the front gate and turn left for a kilometer."

A kilometer is a thousand meters?

It’s not that far, just a nice walk.

"Mm, okay." Gu Fuqiao nodded.

Breakfast was porridge, eggs, steamed buns, and pickles.

In the 1980s, such a meal was considered pretty good.

After eating, Yan Zhen Guo went straight to work, while Gu Fuqiao ate slowly. When Yan Zhen Guo left, she still had more than half a bowl of porridge left.

She didn’t have to write now, so there was no rush, and she just leisurely ate her breakfast.

In the past, she was used to eating while looking at her phone, and now without a phone, it really felt a bit strange... So she just ate while glancing around the place.

People in this era didn’t play with mobile phones, and they didn’t forget to chat while eating, exchanging feelings on the side.

But now there were not many people in the cafeteria, and given the distance, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

"Look, that girl isn’t bad."

"Yeah, I think that one’s better, she looks like an artistic soldier."

Suddenly, a man’s voice with a mischievous tone reached Gu Fuqiao’s ears.

Gu Fuqiao frowned a bit; the voice sounded sneaky... but why does it feel familiar!

It was late already, and people of this era almost never slept in late, so there were hardly any people at the serving window.

Gu Fuqiao turned her head and saw two properly dressed cooks with white aprons tied around their waists walking out from inside and sitting at the innermost table watching the coming and going female soldiers.

One cook seemed to have something to do, got up and said a few words to the other cook, then headed inside.

The other cook, still full of interest, turned back and said to his companion’s back, "Let’s keep watching, there’s plenty of time."

Gu Fuqiao didn’t expect, in such a pure era, there were still such sleazy perverts around...

Does this count as being a pervert?

While pondering whether this could be considered as a perversion, Gu Fuqiao didn’t notice that she was also staring at that cook like a pervert.

That cook, after saying those words, turned around with a sly smile intending to continue his observation, but suddenly met eyes with the pervert-like Gu Fuqiao.

"!"

It was the small vendor boss who lifted her skirt last time!

Gu Fuqiao’s eyes widened.

The man’s eyes widened too.

Neither of them expected to run into each other in this place!

The steamed bun in Gu Fuqiao’s hand fell into her bowl of porridge with a plunk.

"You..." The cook stood up as if to head inside, but after taking a couple of steps, realized it wasn’t right, and quickly stopped.

Gu Fuqiao instinctively thought about chasing him, but then thought again, she didn’t do anything wrong, so why be so nervous?

Besides, he was the one being perverted last time.

He’s the one looking around this time too!

Since they met here, and everyone in this era has records and registrations, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a cook!

Gu Fuqiao leisurely picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a couple of pickles to eat with her porridge.

"Hey. I’m talking to you." The man sat across from Gu Fuqiao.

When he sat down, he glanced around, but this time, the looking around wasn’t enjoyable; he was looking around nervously, afraid someone might see.

"Why are you calling me?" Gu Fuqiao didn’t expect the man didn’t run away but dared to come over.

She held up her rice bowl, glaring fiercely at the man, "In broad daylight, do you still want to be a pervert?"

"You brat." The man didn’t expect Gu Fuqiao to bring up yesterday’s incident.

He gasped completely, looking at Gu Fuqiao in surprise.

Listening to the man gasping beside her, Gu Fuqiao felt quite refreshed inside.

She tilted her head and smiled at the man, "How does it feel to hold your breath in broad daylight? Let me tell you, it’s just like the threat when a woman’s skirt gets pulled, even worse!"
