Chapter 1178: Chance Encounter
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The reason why I have to wait for five days is because the fourth day is the weekend, which is the Sunday on which Guan Youshou can return, but the next day?
The one who should have run still ran.
After pointing two fingers at the corners of their eyebrows and making a handsome "goodbye", Qi Jingnian and Guan Tianyou turned around and got on the train that had begun to smoke.
The train clattered away.
On the platform, the girl's thin body looked a little lonely. I couldn't see her eyes clearly, but she kept looking in the direction the train was leaving.
After finding an excuse to make up for being left behind, Guan Ping'an changed his path, a road that was not the one leading to his home.
There are really a few large shopping malls in the capital, and unlike the cooperatives in residential areas, these large shopping malls are commonly known as department stores and the like.
However, when it comes to department stores, the largest mall is undoubtedly the Wangfujing Department Store, which is located on Jin Street and is known as the "first store in New China".
Outside, there are many domestic semiconductor radios, cameras, and the most popular shirts displayed in the glass window.
It is said that on the first day of opening that year, two large baskets were picked up for the shoes that customers had lost. Nearly 20 years later, customers are still rushing today.
It's not for nothing that this street is called King Street. In addition to this department store, there is also the famous Dongan Market, now renamed Dongfeng Market.
In addition, there are children's goods stores, Xinhua bookstores, tobacco and liquor stores, Chinese medicine shops, watch shops, laundry and dyeing shops, Silian barber shop, Chinese photo studio, and so on.
In Aunt Zhang's words, don't go anywhere if you can't buy anything in the department store. Therefore, her mother likes to visit this place whenever she wants to buy anything.
Fortunately, there are no in-demand goods in this department store today, otherwise it is very likely that she will be greeted by a vivid scene of thousands of people queuing up.
She wanted to come and shop today, but she didn't have to buy something. At this point, she just goes home, and there is no one at home, which doesn't mean that she wants to be squeezed flat.
If you really want to shop, Guan Ping'an actually prefers to go to Qianmen Street. Then there is a special shop that is not very large, but it has a wide range of goods.
In order to promote wholehearted service to the people, so that citizens who do not have time to buy daily necessities during the day can have a place to buy what they need when they rest at night.
The state-run store is open 24 hours a day, all year round, to serve the people in need anytime, anywhere. The point is that there is also a meal supply.
The place of this shop is a little smaller, but there is no need to climb up and down, turning east and west, which is very suitable for people like her who like fast and convenient.
Of course, to say that the food is delicious?
That's certainly not as good as going straight to the street. There is no fruit cold drink shop in the east of the road, right? A glass of orange water in the hot summer, you will have to be excited when you pour it down.
Guan Ping'an sat in the store with a glass of orange water, she didn't want it this time, and asked for a milk brick packaged in a cardboard box.
This kind of ice brick is full of milky flavor, and it is also one of her favorite snacks, but unfortunately it is expensive. Four cents can buy a lot of black noodles.
Her brother would never eat it. It's not that he can't afford to eat, but he's afraid of being hungry for her. It is said that it hurts the stomach, especially the little girl can't take a bite.
Alas...... She misses her brother.
"Brother, I want to eat ice bricks. ”
Guan Ping'an raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked up at the door, a female comrade thirty miles away pushed a pair of brothers and sisters in front of her to enter, and she was turning around to go to the counter.
Estimating that the other party was going to pay first, the "brother" who was about the same age as her heard the whisper of the little girl next to her, and said softly to Guan Ping'an's table.
Regardless of the spending power of ordinary residents at this time, the spending power of large cities is still very good. Ice bricks for four cents seem expensive, but they also divide people.
Guan Ping'an glanced at the clothes of the two brothers and sisters, and he knew in his heart.
First of all, this family is definitely not from the leather army and the leather cadres, but it can be seen from their white-washed clothes and pants that the material is good.
Sure enough, when my brother moved two steps to the side, he said mom again and gave Xiaohua some ice bricks. After speaking, the damn man didn't even nod his head back.
"Sister, can we sit at your table?"
The little girl blinked her eyes quite cutely, not to mention that she did have a vacant seat here. Guan Ping'an smiled and nodded at the "Xiaohua" who walked across from her.
But soon, when he raised his head again, Guan Ping'an's pupils shrank.
After half a year, Wang Qinglan finally received another letter from Xia Zhiyuan yesterday. The letter said that he finally shook off a rotten peach blossom.
No, in order to celebrate, today she took her "poor" pair of children to the street to relax. At this moment, she stepped forward with two ice bricks.
Guan Ping'an and Wang Qinglan had a one-sided relationship. They met each other earlier in Dongfeng Market, and she caught the thief on the spot.
But in the past few years, she has grown from a little girl of seven or eight years old to a slim girl.
Although she has grown taller, her face has taken off a little baby fat, and as soon as this face grows, her facial features are even more delicate and beautiful.
It's Wang Qinglan, who is old and has a lot of vicissitudes.
Guan Ping'an retracted his gaze and lowered his head when he continued to scrape the milk bricks with a small spoon, but he was negligent, and at this moment Wang Qinglan was a little distracted when she looked at her head.
"Mom?"
Wang Qinglan was pulled by her daughter Wang Yuehua, put the plate in front of her, sat down beside her, and glanced at the other side.
Seeing Guan Ping'an in the head-up again, Wang Qinglan was sure that he had indeed seen it. It's a pity that she can't remember it even if she opens her memories again.
If this were to be changed to before, Wang Qinglan would still be interested in talking to each other, at least he would ask the other party what his surname was. Well, now, she regretted coming in a little.
"Mom, we're one and a half. Wang Yuehua pushed the absent-minded Wang Qinglan, "Do you want to go to grandma's house at night?"
Wang Qinglan, who was restrained, glanced at the other side and shook her head, "Let's go." Your grandfather and they are very busy at work, so everyone is at home tonight. ”
Wang Yongchen, who has been silent, is 14 years old this year, not like his eleven-year-old sister, and he has long understood what it means to break off the relationship with his parents in desperation.
The Xia family fell, even the grandmother who loved him the most left, and his brother and sister also took their mother's surname, and now they can only rely on their grandfather and grandmother.
"Be obedient, don't embarrass your mother. After Wang Yongchen glared at his sister, he looked sideways at Wang Qinglan, "Mom, Xiaohua doesn't like my aunt." ”
"She's an elder, you ......" Wang Qinglan paused, "Forget it, don't be like her." We'll go sit down for a while and then go home. ”
Wang Yuehua muttered, "Why does she want our yard? That's what my father left us ......."
Wang Qinglan coughed, interrupting her daughter's unfinished words.
