Chapter 217: The Supermarket of the Thirtieth Chinese New Year's Eve
It looks like Chinese New Year's Eve.
Miao Miao saw the appearance of her new home through Lin Qian's video, and it was rare that Ban Qingyi seemed to like it very much, so Miao Miao entrusted Lin Qian to sign a one-year contract for herself, paid the deposit and rent, and waited for the New Year to be decorated in her new home after spending the New Year here.
As for the last day of the year, Miao Miao still planned to prepare a rich dinner.
In the past, she didn't cook much, but later there were more classes at home, and she often cooked.
"Qingyi, I'm going out to buy vegetables, do you want to go with me?" Miao Miao asked with a chuckle, "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are not many people on the street." ”
The more prosperous the city, the more it is, and during the Chinese New Year, it is like an empty city.
The city has the busiest streetscape and the most technologically advanced, but it's not home to many people.
The market closes almost before noon, and Miao Miao wants to buy fresh ingredients, so she can only take a taxi to the largest imported supermarket in the city center.
"It's been a long time since I've driven on such a smooth road. The taxi driver was chatting with Miao Miao on the steering wheel, "Is the girl a local?"
"It's not. Miao Miao smiled and shook her head.
"Don't you go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year, or do you get married and settle here?"
"No, I'll be back in two days. Miao Miao smiled and chatted with the driver. Because of the smooth traffic, the drive, which was supposed to take half an hour, only took 20 minutes.
Although there are not many people on the street, there are still not too few people in the supermarket. Miao Miao hasn't worn high-heeled shoes to enhance her momentum since she learned that she was pregnant, and today she rarely wears a little more, a thick long white down jacket wraps her from head to tail, and her feet are also a pair of thick snow boots.
Ban Qingyi's dress is much better, with a red scarf and a white sweater, he looks really handsome, and as soon as he walks into the supermarket, he attracts the attention of many people.
Ban Qingyi shrank behind Miao Miao a little uncomfortably, and reached out to grab the hem of her clothes.
Miao Miao smiled, pushed the trolley, and slowly walked towards the crowd.
Visiting the supermarket is the most life-oriented entertainment, there is the smell of fireworks everywhere, Miao Miao stopped and stopped, bought Ban Qingyi's favorite snacks, bought fresh cherries and strawberries, bought ingredients and prepared to make her own clear soup hot pot.
"I also ate hot pot for the Chinese New Year last year. Miao Miao said to Ban Qingyi with a smile when she chose the ingredients, "In a blink of an eye, it's another year." ”
Ban Qingyi had already pulled up his scarf to cover most of his face, and it also effectively blocked the eyes of others from probing. Without those interferences, he also followed Miao Miao with great interest to pick things together, and even took a big colander with great interest to prepare to scoop the clams.
Miao Miao stood aside, unconsciously protecting her stomach with her hands, and watched carelessly.
She paused as her gaze swept around a corner.
Mo Jingyu and Mu Ningyuan stood side by side in front of a row of seasoning shelves, Mo Jingyu looked up at Mu Ningyuan, not knowing what he was talking about.
Mu Ningyuan bowed slightly, and there was no expression on his face.
Miao Miao stood motionless, with a wooden face, and for a long time, the corners of her mouth unconsciously pulled out an upward arc.
She withdrew her gaze and turned slightly to the side.
Ban Qingyi picked up a large number of clams, and was excitedly holding a colander to show off to Miao Miao.
"Qingyi is really amazing!" Miao Miao chuckled, pulled the fresh-keeping bag, packed the clams, and prepared to weigh them, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"Shrimp?" Ban Qingyi tilted his head.
"Yes, why did I forget such an important thing as shrimp!" Miao Miao patted her head and pushed the trolley back.
"I didn't ...... Things?" Ban Qingyi stared at Miao Miao's face and blinked worriedly.
"I'm fine. Miao Miao was a little inexplicable, "I just forgot it for a while." ”
Ban Qingyi's perception is very keen, especially Miao Miao is someone he cares about very much. But he only knew that Miao Miao was probably not in a good mood, but he couldn't guess the reason.
It was impossible for Miao Miao to inform Ban Qingyi of such complicated thoughts.
Did she have to tell Ban Qingyi that she was just a little regretful at that moment, she had never gone to the supermarket with Mu Ningyuan?
Probably the tangled minds of women can't even be understood by themselves.
She picked out fresh Jiwei shrimp, lined up to weigh them, pulled the trolley, and found that everything she wanted to buy was almost there, so she planned to go to the checkout.
When passing by the dry goods area, I looked at Mu Ningyuan and Mo Jingyu again.
With a blank face, she calmly turned the car back and walked the other way.
Ban Qingyi turned his head and glanced at Mu Ningyuan's back with some confusion.
"Qingyi, let's go. Miao Miao raised her voice slightly.
Ban Qingyi immediately retracted his gaze and trotted towards Miao Miao.
At the same time, Mu Ningyuan also turned around.
What came into sight were two little boys chasing after the big trouble.
I don't know why, there is a faint sense of loss.
The voice just now instantly reminded him of Miao Miao.
A faint sense of laziness, mixed with the soft nongs peculiar to the south. That's how the tone is when she's in a calm mood.
"Ning Yuan, I know you are very reluctant to accompany me out to buy things. Mo Jingyu looked at Mu Ningyuan's distracted expression, a little dissatisfied and a little sad, "But can you also answer my question?" I don't know which brand of matsutake that Uncle Mu is used to, you-"
"That's it. Mu Ningyuan casually took out a pack of dried matsutake mushrooms and threw it into the trolley, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Mo Jingyu bit her lip, was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but look down at the shopping list in her hand: "There are still ......"
Love will make people compromise, and pride is no exception.
This year's Chinese New Year she was in China, and the relationship between the parents of both sides was very good, so she planned to spend the New Year together, and the two juniors were sent out to buy New Year's goods in person.
It's just that Mu Ningyuan was absent-minded the whole time.
She was dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do.
She didn't know that when Mu Ningyuan saw Mo Jingyu choosing those things, the scenes that flashed in her mind were all Miao Miao's shadow.
She rarely cooks. Mu Ningyuan almost couldn't remember what her cooking skills tasted like, but she remembered that it wasn't unpleasant.
Last year, for the Chinese New Year, they ate hot pot.
I don't know what Miao Miao plans to do for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?
It's a shame that none of them have ever been to the supermarket together.
Probably never had the opportunity to see her holding the same ingredient of different brands in her hands, turning her head and asking him which one was better.
He wouldn't have known that just two minutes ago, the woman he had been thinking about the most had stood here, looking at his back with an expressionless face, and there was a dead silence in his heart.
Miao Miao took out all the things in the trolley and put them on the cash register.
After checking out, she and Ban Qingyi carried a big shopping bag, and the moment she left the supermarket gate, she subconsciously turned back.
The crowd of people in the supermarket, the person she wanted to see, never saw again.
