Whose Birthday Is It

The next day, everyone still went over to Li Gui's house for a meal. However, Li Gui did not have to cook this time round. Xia He and Qiao Mei went to the state-owned restaurant located outside the alley early in the day to order a whole table of dishes and arranged for the food to be delivered.

It was too difficult for the two of them to carry so many things, so they might as well spend an extra two dollars and have the restaurant send it over.

Not everyone could enjoy such treatment. There were guidelines to follow when ordering food at a state-owned restaurant. People who could order food at these restaurants were either rich or from prominent families. There were rules on the types of fish, meat and vegetables that one could order. The private rooms were also not places that ordinary people could go to.

This meal might help to settle everyone's nerves after the traumatic event yesterday.
