The half-hour visit was short, and it passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Yunqi had already come once last time, and he didn't go up to talk to his family to talk to his father, and at the last moment, he told his father that he would come to see him after the Spring Festival.

From beginning to end, looking at these obedient and sensible children, Dad Zhang kept smiling, nodding his head incessantly, and kept saying yes, saying that I was also good in it.

He didn't dare to say too much, he was afraid that he couldn't help it, he kept letting the surging tears flow into his stomach through the nasal tube, even the moment he got up and went back to the cell, looking at his wife with red eyes, Chunlan and Qiulan covering their mouths and sobbing, crying and shouting noisily to his father in Yunqi's arms, he still waved his trembling palm at the family outside the glass, and said with a smile: "Looking at the family so good, I am also down-to-earth inside, it's not early, you go back early, Yunfeng Yunqi, on the first day of the new year, remember to sweep your grandfather's grave for me!"

With that, he turned to leave.

Zhang Yunqi hugged Wow Wow and cried out, "Dad, you come back, you go home with me!" Zhang Xiaoxiao, silently watched the rickety back disappear at the door, and at that moment, an extremely strong thought welled up in his heart.

On the way back, the family's emotions slowly calmed down, and Zhang Xiaoxiao, who cried the most, was tired of crying and fell asleep in Zhang Yunqi's arms.

Time is a good medicine to heal the pain, after the family returned home, after a few days, the busyness at the end of the year diluted everyone's miss of Zhang's father, that is, even Zhang Xiaoxiao became lively again.

For them, now they are no longer as poor as before, the old Zhang family's life has a new hope, Zhang's father still has more than a year to come out, and strive to live in a more prosperous and prosperous direction, and wait for Zhang's father to come out to live a good life, which is a serious matter.

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, according to the customs of the Chinese people, it is time to spend the New Year, and it is time to buy New Year's goods.

According to Zhang's mother's meaning, the New Year's goods go to Longwan Town to catch up with the market to buy, Zhang Yunqi does not think so, in the past, the family has pork to eat on the New Year, and can ask the tailor to make a new dress on the elated night can not sleep, but this is not called the New Year, called quite improvised, he said that tomorrow just to go to the eldest sister's house to send the New Year's vegetables, New Year's goods by the way in the city to buy.

Zhang's mother couldn't resist him and agreed.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Zhang Yunfeng went to the town and rented a van to take the family to the city. Before going, Zhang Yunqi specially called Ji Ling's house and told her to go to her house to play with her today, and she would arrive at about half past nine.

Ji Ling was bored and said I'm waiting for you.

Zhang Yunqi's family took a car to the city and acted separately, Zhang's mother and Zhang Yunfeng went to the eldest sister's house to deliver New Year's dishes, Zhang Yunqi carried 30 catties of tea oil, 20 catties of home-brewed sorghum wine and 6 catties of big pork knuckles, and took the two younger sisters to the Shuixie Yundu villa area where Ji Ling's house was located.

When he arrived at the Water Pavilion Yundu, Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned on the window and looked at the high-end villas inside, and said with wide eyes and envy: "What a beautiful palace, just like the painting in the book." ”

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "In the future, you will also live in this kind of palace, bigger and more beautiful." ”

The taxi driver was a cheerful middle-aged uncle, and he said with a smile to Zhang Yunqi: "Young man, when I was your age, I thought the same thing. ”

Zhang Yunqi just laughed and didn't make a sound.

The taxi came to the gate of the water pavilion Yundu, Zhang Yunqi asked the driver to stop, he had already seen Ji Ling, Ji Ling was standing inside the iron gate at the gate, she was wearing a white hoodie and black pants, a black windbreaker, a baseball cap upside down on her head, and a pair of pure white Nike under her feet, leaning against the wall with both hands and bags watching the cars coming and going on the street, a little careless, but that delicate little face was under the sun, very clear, and there was a kind of pure beauty.

Zhang Yunqi told the driver to stop and asked his two younger sisters to wait for him in the car, and he got out of the car with tea oil, sorghum wine and pork knuckle and came to the iron gate.

Ji Ling called the security guard to open the door, looked at the things that Zhang Yunqi was carrying in his hand who walked in, squinted his eyes and said, "What did you carry with a big bag?"

Zhang Yunqi said with a smile: "The New Year's dish sent to your family." ”

Ji Ling flipped through the bag and said, "Tea oil, pig thighs, and local wine, you really have a heart, all of them are what my father loves to eat and drink." ”

Zhang Yunqi said with a smile: "I don't know what your mother likes to eat and drink." ”

Ji Ling's eyes widened and said, "You haven't thought about what I like to eat and drink?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "I know, there are eight cents a bowl of rice dumplings next to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and I will invite you to eat enough when school starts." ”

"Xiao Zhang, how do I feel that this is the rhythm of friendship. ”

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said: "Don't, just kidding, wait a minute, whatever you want to eat and drink, by the way, are your parents at home?"

Ji Ling shook his head: "No, they're very busy." ”

Zhang Yunqi originally wanted to meet Ji Chong, contact his feelings, and talk about his father by the way, but Ji Zhong was not at home, so he had to rush Ming'er to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to find him.

Zhang Yunqi carried tea oil, pork knuckle and home-brewed sorghum wine to Ji Ling's house, and on the way back to the taxi, he told Ji Ling that he wanted her to bring her two younger sisters to buy new clothes. This girl is not simple in dressing, it is very clear and bright, at least in Jiangchuan City No. 1 Middle School, where there are as many rich girls as dogs, I can't find clothes that make him feel better than Ji Ling.

Ji Ling asked him, "Do you have any requirements?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Okay, expensive, my two younger sisters like it." ”

Ji Ling sighed: "It's good to have a local tyrant brother. ”

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "You are the same, as long as you like it, the good and expensive ones are optional." ”

"Xiao Zhang's performance is still very good, then I'm not welcome, let's go. Ji Ling pulled Zhang Yunqi and ran to the door, that delicate little face smiled so much that everyone loved it, and the flowers bloomed.

After getting into the car, Ji Ling said to the driver to go to Ximen Street.

Ximen Street is the most prosperous commercial street in Jiangchuan City, lined with trade shops, clothing stores, snack bars, Zhang Yunqi four people came here, he also saw a newly opened KFC, the door is full of adults and children who want to try foreign food, although the supermarket has not yet entered Jiangchuan City, but there are large state-run shopping malls, as well as supply and marketing cooperatives that are privately contracted and subleased, the materials are extremely rich, and the service attitude is also very good.

Walking through this street, Zhang Yunqi can clearly feel the changes of the times, the power of the market economy, countless new things are dazzling on the counter, endless new gadgets are imported from overseas, the clothes of pedestrians on the street have changed from the same color "blue, black and white" to colorful fashionable clothes, foreign brands shine in major department stores, from white goods to lighters, from children's toys to men's and women's clothing, looking at Chunlan and small eyes are spent.

Chunlan and Xiaoxiao are shopping for the first time on the pedestrian street, the most prosperous scene they have ever seen is probably the market in Longwan Town, facing the endless flow of flowers and flowers on Ximen Street, the kind of cowardice of the countrymen who have not seen the world is revealed, fortunately, they like Ji Ling very much, especially Zhang Xiaoxiao, who is inseparable when they walk there, holding Ji Ling's hand, and thinking that this sister in the city is beautiful and good.

Ji Ling, who has a strong aura, took two weak little Loli to take a look here and there.

Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to eat it when he saw something delicious, and Ji Ling said to buy it.

Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to play when he saw something fun, and Ji Ling said to buy it.

The boss asked who was paying, and Ji Ling pointed to Zhang Yunqi behind him and said, "That and that, classmate Xiao Zhang, what's the ink, pay the bill." ”

Chunlan covered her mouth and smiled, thinking to herself that the third child of the Zhang family, who was becoming more and more vigorous, could finally be cured now.

After shopping for two hours, Zhang Yunqi and the three girls went to the shopping malls of the entire street, and Ji Ling took Chunlan and Xiaoxiao to buy two sets of clothes and skirts and two pairs of shoes in the high-end shopping mall, spending more than 900 yuan.

Lunch Ji Ling took Chunlan and a small snack KFC, the two little girls were eating this thing for the first time, and the thieves were happy to eat, especially Xiaoxiao, with a fried chicken leg in one hand and a cola in the other, and the small mouth was bulging, and the words were not clear.

"You two eat slowly, no one will rob you. Zhang Yunqi smiled and helped them tear open the ketchup and squeeze it on the napkin.

As the world's most famous foreign fast food, KFC has only been in China for a few years, and opened a restaurant in Jiangchuan City at the end of last year.

Ji Ling looks like a girl who often comes to eat KFC, she is very familiar with the road, but she is not cold to hamburger fried chicken wings, she loves to eat vanilla-flavored ice cream, and she has eaten two in such a cold winter.

After eating a fried chicken leg, Zhang Xiaoxiao stared at the two remaining hamburgers on the table, swallowed his saliva with oil-stained fingers, and said sweetly to Zhang Yunqi: "Second brother, can you take the hamburger home?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "What's the matter? I haven't eaten enough here, so I want to pack it and take it back to eat?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted and said in a milky voice: "No, my mother and eldest brother haven't had a time, I want to bring it back to them." ”
