When they sat at the table, one of them even praised, "Wow, this restaurant is really affordable."
If it weren’t for Han Yi, she wouldn’t have served that much.
After serving the dishes, Lin Wan filled a pot with warm water and placed it on the table, saying, "Please help yourselves. The dumplings will be ready soon." After that, Lin Wan ran to the kitchen to help.
When the last plate of dumplings was served, it was for Han Yi. Anyone with a keen eye could see that this plate definitely had more than the others.
"Hey, hey, waiter, why does he have so much on his plate?" one of the soldiers asked, puzzled.
"... Uh, it’s a complintary gift." After saying that, afraid they might have more questions, she quickly slipped away to the backyard.
"Boss, don’t you think that little girl is too friendly with our Han?" One of the younger guys raised an eyebrow while talking to Boss Zhang, but his eyes were on Han Yi.
"Friendly or not, it’s all for Han Yi. If you had a face like Han Yi’s, the little girl would give you a special share too," Director Zhang comnted while eating, making a few jokes at his expense.
The young guy wasn’t offended and nudged Han Yi with his elbow, saying, "Han, it’s hard to find soone who likes you. Why not consider it? The girl looks pretty good."
"Just eat your food." Han Yi looked up and shot him a glance.
"I must say, this newly opened little place has really good food." Director Zhang suddenly spoke to Han Yi, "What do you guys think?"
"It is delicious. Next ti we go out for a al, let’s co here. It’s affordable and tasty," one of them replied.
Everyone nodded in agreent.
While they were eating, Lin Wan stayed hidden by the backyard door, watching Han Yi from afar. Although Han Yi kept his head down while eating, she was still happy just to see him.
...
She vaguely rembered that she t Han Yi the year after in S City, the city where her brother was studying, and her university was also there.
It wasn’t exactly a eting, though.
As people get older, so choose matchmaking agencies to resolve their marriage issues. At that ti, matchmaking was just a few enthusiastic aunties from the Won’s Federation doing community service.
She rembered it was during the sumr vacation of her second year of university. After the holiday ended, Lin Wan found a job in the city to earn so living expenses.
She found several tutoring jobs, and the mother of the child she taught worked at the Won’s Federation in a suburban community.
In the early 1980s, the Won’s Federation dealt with everyday matters, either diating various household issues or engaging in neighborhood gossip.
With nurous problems resolved, they even started handling marriage matters for the older singles in the community. Over ti, those looking for partners would leave their information there for introductions.
It was this child’s mother who introduced her to Han Yi.
To this day, she still didn’t know why Han Yi would approach the Won’s Federation matchmaking agency to find soone.
Han Yi wasn’t that old; he was only twenty-four that year.
According to the child’s mother, Han Yi had checked out several girls, but either he didn’t fancy them, or many of the won felt that marrying a soldier who was rarely ho wasn’t practical.
The child’s mother even brought her own younger sister to et Han Yi, but it didn’t work out either.
Just as she was distressed, she noticed Lin Wan teaching her son at ho, and after so inquiries, she felt they were suitable and insisted on arranging a eting between her and Han Yi.
