Li Ran looked at the overcast sky, as if it was going to rain at any time, and he was a little worried:
"It looks like it's going to rain, so let's go buy an umbrella. ā
As he spoke, Li Ran took Bismarck's hand, found a passerby, asked the location of the umbrella shop, and then called a car not far away, and after he got in the car, he said:
"Go to the Nangong umbrella shop on North Street. ā
"Understood. The driver was a middle-aged uncle, he turned the car around, and then walked in the direction of North Street, and asked while driving on the road:
"The little brother is traveling with his girlfriend. ā
"That's right. Li Ran replied cheekily, and then smiled and hugged Bismarck's shoulder, causing Bismarck to roll his eyes for a while.
"Little brother is coming to Qiyun for the first time, let me tell you, if you are dating, there is a love bell tower on North Street, near the umbrella shop you are going to, you can go to see it later, I happened to be preparing for a celebration recently, and many little couples will go there. ā
"Thank you, uncle. Li Ran saw that Bismarck was not angry, but he didn't dare to move his hand, after all, he knew the character of his ship's mother.
"You're welcome, by the way, little brother, your accent sounds like an overseas person?"
"Ah, yes, I'm not from the Xia Kingdom. ā
"No wonder. ā
Li Ran looked at the driver's familiar appearance, and thought that when he traveled on the earth before, he would occasionally meet some drivers like this, he thought about it, these drivers are locals after all, and they are very familiar with the customs of Qiyungang, and he just didn't know where to start, so he hurriedly asked:
"Uncle, let me ask you a question. ā
"Little brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ā
"Is there a place in Qiyun City that sells toys, it's that kind of puppet or something. ā
"For toys, go to the West District of North Street, where there are many categories, and recently it is approaching Children's Day, and many vendors have started promotions in advance. ā
"Children's Day?
"Yes, the whole world has passed, why, the little brother doesn't know?"
The driver asked a little strangely, Li Ran heard the driver ask, his face was a little strange, and he really couldn't figure out whether he was on Earth or in a parallel world. Scratching his head, he said:
"I know, it's just a little weird, isn't it just the beginning of May?"
"Little brother is May 29th today. ā
"Huh? so fast. Li Ran was a little confused, had he been in this world for so long unconsciously?
Yes, since Walkerland's birthday on March 29th, it seems that he is busy, and there is no calendar or anything like that in the town guard's mansion, he said with some dismay:
"Time flies. ā
"Who's to say no, before you know it, summer has arrived. ā
The driver chimed in.
Then Li Ran lost some interest in talking, Bismarck noticed that Li Ran was a little lost, and she asked softly:
"Admiral, are you homesick?"
"Ah, I think, it's been almost three months since I left home. Li Ran smiled bitterly, looking at the pedestrians holding children outside the car window, he inexplicably felt a little wonderful, he had lived in this other world for so long, he really didn't expect it, he said meaningfully:
"People are really adaptable sometimes. ā
Bismarck always felt that Li Ran had something to say, she looked at Li Ran's side face, and then took the initiative to take Li Ran's hand and said:
"No matter how time changes, I will be there to protect you. ā
Li Ran smiled bitterly, and he said helplessly:
"Why can't I be a little happy when you say that? ā
Bismarck looked at Li Ran's face, and unconsciously darkened a lot, and a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Li Ran touched his cheek a little strangely:
"Is there something on my face?"
"It's fine. Bismarck looked away, and said to himself, "Commander, why do you sometimes look like a prodigal son who knows everything, and sometimes like a fool who doesn't understand anything?"
The car drove on the bluestone street all the way, and there were fewer people on the North Street at noon, so the speed was quite fast, and it didn't take long to stop at the Nangong umbrella shop.
Li Ran paid the bill, and then walked into the umbrella shop with Bismarck.
The architectural style of the umbrella shop is still quite modern, and there are not many people in the shop, Li Ran let go of Bismarck's hand, and then said:
"Let's bring some umbrellas for them too, there don't seem to be parasols in the house, I thought something was wrong the last time I had a barbecue on the beach. ā
"Hmm. Bismarck, as a ship's mother, is generally born with a woman's love of beauty, and she began to choose from the dazzling array of umbrellas in the store.
Li Ran looked at the store with only a middle-aged aunt and her daughter, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
He watched Bismarck go to choose an umbrella, the little girl was enthusiastically introducing products to Bismarck, he smiled, walked to the counter and talked to his aunt:
"Eldest sister, how long has your umbrella been spreading? ā
"It's been open for more than ten years, and the young man's accent is not local, so how could he think of coming to my old woman's shop? ā
"Sister, don't say that, you look very young, besides, it doesn't look like it's going to rain this weather, I finally came out, I can't let my female companion get wet." ā
"Also, the young man is quite painful, by the way, Xiaoyu, you go and take out the couple umbrellas that just arrived yesterday. ā
"Got it, Mom. Xiaoyu talked to Bismarck for a while, and then went into the store's warehouse room to get the couple's umbrella.
Li Ran looked at Bismarck with some apprehension, and was relieved to find that she was still there choosing an umbrella, he was a little worried that Bismarck would be angry with these people, after all, he and her have not officially interacted, and in the game, the current favorability may only be over sixty.
However, the couple umbrella, hehe, this thing is good, he hurriedly said to the aunt:
"Thank you big sister, by the way, is there any umbrella for children in the big sister's shop, well, cartoons are cute. ā
"Yes, you come with me. The aunt thought for a while, and then took Li Ran to the area of the children's umbrella, and then introduced:
"This is a cartoon umbrella that just arrived recently, and I heard that there are many world-famous comics, and many adults will buy a few of them, and they are very popular. ā
Li Ran listened to the introduction, nodded, then picked up an umbrella, opened it, and found that the quality was not bad, especially the umbrella was painted with a lot of cute bears and rabbits and the like, he thought about it, how many destroyers in the port area came, lively and cute fireflies, don't like to wear small ** Sigsby, the shy Walkland, the hard-working and resolute, the Keeling who bites his tongue when he speaks, and yes, and Z24 and Z28 They almost forgot about the submarine U47, well, they are all children, that is eight, after thinking about it, Li Ran decided to buy more in order to need it, and then said:
"Sister, go get busy, I'll pick it myself. ā
"Okay. The proprietress was angry by Li Ran's heart called by an eldest sister, she was in her forties, because her daughter was relatively young, so she aged very quickly, generally many people call her aunt directly, only Li Ran called herself eldest sister, which made her feel a lot younger.
After a while, Xiaoyu took the couple umbrella to the counter, Li Ran also happened to pick out some cartoon umbrellas, with various small animal patterns on them, especially when he saw that there was an umbrella with a firefly pattern, it was just the best to give it to his own initial ship, and returned to the counter with a bunch of umbrellas, Bismarck also picked out an umbrella for the sisters in the port area, and then heard the aunt count the umbrellas on the counter, and then took the couple umbrella that Xiaoyu took and said:
"This is a limited edition couple umbrella, well, I just arrived at the store yesterday, only the pair of fate and three lives remained, and the love is more than Jin Jian and the sea dry stone rotten two have been ordered in advance, you came just in time this time, young man, I see that you and your girlfriend are also a match made in heaven, you see if you want to buy a pair and go back to make a commemoration. ā
"Well, Bismarck, what do you think?"
"Commander, you are in charge. Bismarck's face was expressionless, and if you look closely, you can actually see that her forehead cat ears moved, which is a sign of Bismarck's nervousness.
Li Ran thought for a moment, and then said:
"Okay, let's wrap it all up. ā
"Young man, do you mean wrapping it all up on the counter?"
"Hmm. Li Ran nodded.
"Okay, seeing that the young man takes care of the old woman's business so much, this time I will give you a twenty-percent discount, and this is the membership card of Nangong Umbrella Shop, you take it, these umbrellas are a total of 1,600 ocean coins. ā
"Sixteen hundred?" The corners of Li Ran's mouth twitched, Zhennyima is expensive, forget it, buy it.
After paying the bill, Li Ran thought that it would be difficult to go shopping with such a bunch of things, and then asked:
"Can you help me bring these umbrellas to my accommodation?"
"Of course, young man, you give me the address, and I'll ask Xiaoyu to send it to you later. ā
"That's a lot of work. Li Ran took out the note from his pocket that Bai Mad handed to him before leaving, and then said:
"I'll send it here, well, I'll take the couple umbrella first, and I'll leave the rest to the eldest sister." ā
"Rest assured. Aunt saw Li Ran trust herself so much, she was also a little moved, you know, the shops in this world are not as black-hearted as on the earth, many stores regard reputation as more important than life, especially more than ten years old stores like Nangong umbrella shop, which is even more precious to the reputation of the store.
"Alright, we'll go first. ā
Li Ran waved his hand, took the Yuanding Sansheng umbrella, handed it to Bismarck, and then said:
"It's going to rain later, so take it. ā
"Hmm. Bismarck's cheeks were blushing, she rubbed the rose pattern relief that symbolized love on the handle of the umbrella, and there was a trace of sweetness in her heart, but at this moment, Li Ran suddenly saw a girl opposite the umbrella shop, she was wearing a hat with the German Iron Cross, he turned his head and asked Bismarck:
"Bismarck, do you think that person is a ship's mother?"
Bismarck was reminded of Li Ran's thoughts, she looked in the direction Li Ran pointed, and sure enough, she saw the familiar style of the hat. frowned and said:
"It seems to be the hat of the navy of country G, but it's quite far away, I can't tell which ship's mother, Admiral, do you want to go over and say hello?"
"Well, of course, it looks like this little girl is in a little trouble. Li Ran looked at Bismarck, saw a hint of request on Bismarck's face, nodded and said.
