Chapter 71 Diesel fuel actually smells pretty good!
The waiter rolled his eyes. "Who do you think you are? You think you can just tell me to help? We're out of meat and vegetables. Don't you understand, or are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

Every now and then, you'll encounter a few troublemakers; the waiters have gotten used to it and their attitude remains terrible.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Zhizhi followed.

"Sisi, it's okay if there's no meat. You can come to my house. I can cook these dishes too."

The waiter leaned against the wall and said sarcastically, "Did you hear that? They told you to go home and eat. Go home and eat."

Ji Sisi took a deep breath and, for the first time, begged the waiter to buy her food.

Ji Sisi felt miserable, thinking, "Vegetarian dishes are fine, but how much are two dishes and a soup?"

"Two yuan and two jiao."

Ji Sisi took out some money from her pocket and gave it to the waiter, then pulled Zhang Zhizhi back to sit down.

"Sisi, you're just too nice. This person is clearly judging people by their own taste. Why don't we go eat at our place?"

Zhang Zhizhi was furious, her eyes frequently glancing towards the waiters.

"No need, she'll bring the meat and vegetables up in a bit."

It was Ji Sisi's first time eating at a state-run restaurant, and she found it very novel and looked forward to it.

Song Yiping arrived late, carrying a small bag, her low-heeled leather shoes making a thumping sound on the state-owned cement floor.

Song Yiping put her bag down and noticed the table was still clean. "Sisi, I'm sorry I'm late. You haven't ordered yet, have you?"

"Not yet. I don't know what dishes you like to eat, Sister Ping. I'm afraid of ordering too much and wasting food."

Ji Sisi tugged at Zhang Zhizhi beside her, "This is my friend, Zhang Zhizhi, who works at the Qiyuan Street Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

"A sales clerk? That's a good job!"

Song Yiping stretched out her hand, her dimples appearing deep and shallow as she spoke, her eyes crinkling when she smiled, exuding a friendly and approachable aura.

"My surname is Song, my given name is Yiping, and I work at the Agricultural Machinery Bureau. Where do you live?"

“My parents work at a steel factory in Qiyuan Street, and I live with them.”

"Not married yet? That's perfect! I have several single men at work who are quite eligible in every way. I'll introduce you two when I have time!"

Just as Song Yiping was about to steer the conversation toward matchmakers, Ji Sisi promptly interrupted.

"Sister Ping, take a look at what you want to eat first, and we can talk while we eat."

Song Yiping suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, look at me."

"Xiao Hong, do you still have braised pork? I see you haven't had any customers yet. Can you recommend a few other meat dishes?"

Perhaps fearing that Ji Sisi and the other woman might misunderstand, Song Yiping turned around and explained, "I didn't scare you two, did I? I just need to eat some meat, otherwise I won't have any energy all day."

"No, it's not like eating a little meat is scary. Zhizhi, what do you want to eat?"

Ji Sisi called Zhang Zhizhi forward, and the three of them stood in front of the waiter.

The waiter's face turned pale and then flushed.

Who would have thought that these two young girls could get involved with the husband of the director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau? They're really unlucky.

Ji Sisi ordered another vegetarian dish just like before, her smile meaningful. "Comrade, please serve the food quickly, I'm in a hurry."

The waiter gave a forced smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll bring the food out as soon as it's ready."

Ji Sisi's voice was loud and clear, and everyone eating in the lobby could hear her. "That's good. Someone ordered meat dishes just now, and I was startled when I heard you say that we didn't have any."

Seeing that the two were not getting along, Song Yiping could roughly guess what had happened. She smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Sisi, quickly teach me how to open that thing you gave me?"

The three ordered five dishes and returned to the table.

Song Yiping took out a lipstick that Ji Sisi had given her, which was also a love lock. It was the same as Zhang Zhizhi's lipstick, and they were both taken out of the same gift box, only the shade was different.

Ji Sisi took the lipstick, gently pressed the bottom, and with a click, the other end popped out. She pulled out the other end, took out the core, and twisted it to get the lipstick.

The lipsticks are covered with exquisite embossed designs.

Zhang Zhizhi and Song Yiping were both so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Seeing that the two were satisfied, Ji Sisi was relieved. Fortunately, people nowadays don't have high aspirations, but this thing would be practically useless in later generations.

Applying lipstick is such a hassle and a waste of time, which has led to low sales of this lipstick. Only straight men would buy it as a gift for their partner or wife.

"Zhizhi, yours is the same. Take it out and try it."

Zhang Zhizhi nodded, took one out of her pocket, and tried it according to Ji Sisi's method. The lipstick came out immediately.

The two shades are different. Zhang Zhizhi's color is lighter and suitable for everyday wear, while Song Yiping's is a true red, which gives people a powerful aura.

The two of them held it with great affection.

After the meal, before the three parted, Ji Sisi invited Zhang Zhizhi to attend her wedding banquet in a while. The date hadn't been set yet, but it would be soon.

Before that, Zhang Zhizhi needed to help her stock up on some meat every day, marinate it with salt, and then she would come to pick it up together after half a month.

Zhang Zhizhi walked along the road, her heart filled with joy.

I never expected that Sisi would treat me so well after we'd only met once. I guess I'm only able to have such a good friend because of my cousin Sisi.

Although she knew that Sisi also had something to ask of her, what Sisi did was completely different from what others did.

Normally, she would save meat for her relatives and wouldn't even get a thank you in return, but Sisi not only gave her lipstick, but also treated her to a meal and introduced her to important people.

Zhang Zhizhi thought to herself, "When I get home tonight and tell my parents I met the husband of the director of the agricultural machinery bureau, their expressions will definitely be very interesting!"
Ji Sisi followed Song Yiping back to the Agricultural Machinery Bureau.

Tractors travel slower than buses, so we have to leave earlier.

The tractor was tracked and towed a sled. Ji Sisi and her master squeezed into the driver's seat.

When the sixth team arrived, Ji Sisi opened the door, squatted on the grass, and vomited incessantly.

The tractor ran on diesel fuel, and the black smoke from the front drifted into the driver's seat. The smell was pungent and nauseating, and Ji Sisi inhaled it for an hour.

The delicious meal she had just eaten at noon had now turned into a pile of filth. Ji Sisi had just felt a little better when she glanced at the filth on the ground and started feeling nauseous again, entering a short cycle.

The tractor driver had gotten used to the smell, and while on the road, he even comforted Ji Sisi, telling her that diesel actually smelled quite good.

Ji Sisi dared not speak, afraid that she would vomit in the car if she did.

The commune members working nearby all looked over when they heard the tractor. Some dropped their farm tools and cheered loudly, and some were even moved to tears.

When Captain Ma arrived, Ji Sisi was finally able to vomit everything out of her stomach.

Her stomach was suffering, but her buttocks were suffering even more. Ji Sisi didn't want to recall the hour before Fang Qian's death. She covered her mouth and said, "Captain Ma, please make some arrangements. I'm not feeling well. I'd like to go to the office to rest."

"Okay, okay, Sisi, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me. Go and get some rest."

If it weren't for the need to arrange the next steps, Captain Ma would have loved to have a few people carry Ji Sisi to the office, so as not to tire out this great contributor any further.

My dear Marseille girls, it's a little late today~
