Chapter 28 Provincial Towns
Probably because the Chinese New Year was approaching, Sun Yuemiao's family did not invite lobbyists to come to the door again, but news came from the police station, saying that the other party was willing to mediate privately and wanted to meet Lu Jun again to see what his requirements were.
Disputes involving students are not criminal cases, and are generally based on civil mediation.
Although Zhou Jiayi was angry, she knew better in her heart that it might be difficult to understand this matter, otherwise, Lu Junyuan went out for a noon, and when she came back, she only shook her head when she asked.
"What do they mean?"
"I said that I would be compensated, or I was trying to get a prize for some kind of competition, in short, I didn't want Sun Yuemiao to be criticized at school." Lu Junyuan said: "I didn't agree. ”
Wrong is wrong, right is right, the young man in front of him is still angular, it seems that that the cleverness can't be used on this, and can even be called dull and stubborn, but Zhou Jiayi feels that this kind of persistence is very cute, she asked: "Then how do they react?" There is no reaction, and you don't have to worry about it all the time, I'm afraid it will end up in the end. Lu Jun is far from being stupid, after these days of serious thinking and arguing with Sun Yuemiao's side, he already has a hunch, seeing that Zhou Jiayi is so attentive, he is afraid that the final result will be unacceptable to her.
"I'm afraid you'll be unwilling." Zhou Jiayi laughed easily when she heard him say this, "However, since you have thought of the result, isn't it pointless to insist that she apologize and waste time communicating with them?"
Lu Junyuan shook his head and said seriously: "At least I let them know that every choice they make, they must bear the corresponding responsibility, whether it is wrong or right." ”
"Yes, there must be someone like you in this world." Zhou Jiayi was very emotional when she heard this chicken soup-style remark, for example, in the review of most of the past half a year, if it wasn't for Lu Junyuan's truthfulness, making a mistake in a letter, a formula, and a typo, all of which made her change it, how could her progress be so fast.
Perhaps, as many books say, if you take life seriously, life will be taken with the same seriousness.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, didn't my mother say that she would take the two of us to the provincial capital to buy clothes tomorrow? You must not know, the last time she went to marry my father, after more than ten years, the road must not be familiar, let's first check the Internet where the consumption in the provincial capital is suitable for us, and what car to take. ”
Most of the people of the parents' generation are content with the destiny of heaven, and there are few who are out and about, although Jiangping County is small, it has all kinds of organs, even Zhou Jiayi, in her last life, went to the provincial capital Pinyang City for the first time when she was in college.
Compared with the provincial city that Zhou Jiayi saw when she was in college three years later, the current city of Binyang has not yet begun to build a subway, nor has it crossed over to the category of an international metropolis, but consumes the reputation of a famous historical and cultural city, relying on tourism to improve the economic level.
Zhou Jiayi, who took motion sickness medicine and slept all the way, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the tattered passenger station, and she wondered: "Where are we?"
Li Qiumei looked very calm, nodded, and picked up her small backpack, "Get out of the car, let's go to Jianguo Road first, I heard Li Qin's mother say that the clothes on Jianguo Road are beautiful and cheap, and she usually buys them there." ”
Seeing Lu Junyuan's puzzled face, Zhou Jiayi explained: "Li Qin is my cousin, my uncle's son, and they opened a clothing store in the county. Mom, Jianguo Road is a wholesale market, people don't necessarily sell a single piece, let's go to the mall. ”
"You doll!" Li Qiumei pulled her daughter aside and whispered: "I brought a thousand yuan, we can't afford the clothes in the mall, your aunt said, the clothes on Jianguo Road are the most cost-effective." ”
Zhou Jiayi didn't know what kind of ** soup her aunt poured into her mother, so she had to go to Jianguo Road first, so in desperation, she had to nod and agree.
Jianguo Road is a famous wholesale market in Pinyang City, the clothes are notoriously cheap, the quality is good, and it is worthy of its price, Zhou Jiayi did not have much living expenses when she went to college, and before she was used to online shopping, she and her classmates came here several times.
The wholesale market is crowded, even as the Chinese New Year approaches, and it is not uncommon to see people carrying oversized black plastic bags crammed onto buses, and people pulling small carts negotiating fares with electric tricycles waiting on the side of the road.
Li Qiumei hadn't been here much, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "There are so many people?" Where do we start with this?"
"That's it." Zhou Jiayi pointed to the building, "Mom, you have a tight wallet, you really can't let Lulu take it, there are many people here, be careful of thieves." ”
Li Qiumei clenched the bag in her arms and led the two children into the wholesale market.
In fact, it seems that this group of people is very weird, Lu Junyuan's temperament is very incompatible with the messy wholesale market, Zhou Jiayi is a little girl who seems to be in trouble, and Li Qiumei, an adult, has to listen to the command of the two children.
But in any case, a woman's talent for shopping is innate, and her bargaining skills are honed the day after tomorrow, Li Qiumei began to bargain while asking for the price after two floors, and bought Zhou Jiayi a coat and a pair of shoes with the nirvana of "if it's not cheap, don't want it".
"Well, let's go to the big mall you said now." Li Qiumei clapped her hands, "Xiaoyuan will only go back on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it will definitely be too late to buy clothes at that time, so let's buy them by the way today." ”
Zhou Jiayi suddenly realized, "If you buy clothes for me, you will come to the wholesale market, and if you buy clothes for Lulu, you will go to the shopping mall, my mother can distinguish between cheap and cheap." Fortunately, she didn't pay much attention to her clothes, and she was just joking.
The first floor of the wholesale market is a department store, Zhou Jiayi accidentally caught a glimpse of a stationery seller, remembered that her refills were consumed quickly, and said coquettishly: "Mom, if you don't buy me good clothes, you have to compensate me somewhere else, my neutral refills are not enough, things are cheap here, let's buy two boxes by the way." ”
The girl is studying, Li Qiumei should not have anything, Zhou Jiayi saw that there were calligraphy books in this store, took a few books and settled the account together, planning to go home and practice calligraphy well, and strive not to be deducted from the high school entrance examination.
Li Qiumei said to her: "Your dog should have practiced calligraphy a long time ago." ”
The group of three finally squeezed through the layers of people, and finally arrived at the side of the road, "No wonder the people who come here don't wear down jackets or anything, the more they dare to squeeze in, the hotter it gets!" As Zhou Jiayi spoke, she suddenly saw Lu Junyuan's relieved expression, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
It didn't cost much to buy clothes and shoes just now, and Li Qiumei didn't want her two children to follow the bus anymore, so she decided to take a taxi to the city center.
Although Pinyang City has not yet been fully developed, it is not a little stronger than the small county town of Jiangping, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings, Li Qiumei said, "This is a big city, Yiyi, do you see, you have to study hard, you can go to university here in the future, and work in the city in the future, otherwise you can only go home to farm like me and your father." ”
"Do you hear it, seize the opportunity to educate me." Zhou Jiayi said to Lu Junyuan, "My father and my mother live in the county now, and they don't have to hire people when they are busy farming, and now they are not still requisitioning land to build roads. ”
This is not a joke, when Zhou Jiayi graduated from college, their family had not eaten wheat flour grown by themselves for several years.
Probably because Pinyang is the ancient capital, there are all kinds of antique buildings in the city center, the taxi followed the city wall into the city gate, Zhou Jiayi looked around, observing what is the difference between the situation here at this time and three years later.
The main road is very wide, but there are also many narrow alleys in the city, surrounded by the earliest residential buildings, clustered between several high-rise buildings, which seem to be getting shorter and shorter.
Zhou Jiayi knew that with the implementation of the Pinyang subway construction plan in a year or two, these dilapidated residential buildings would be demolished.
Admittedly, she was moved.
Zhou Jiayi relived her life, just to make up for the regrets of her previous life and make herself a better person, before she came to Pinyang, she never thought about making a fortune from demolition, but since such an opportunity is in front of her, if you don't grasp it firmly, isn't it stupid?
Of course, Zhou Jiayi didn't want to be a fool, she secretly calculated how likely it was to persuade her parents to buy a dilapidated residential building in Pinyang City.
"What do you think?" Lu Junyuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, "Let's get to the pedestrian street you said." ”
Zhou Jiayi sighed, came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I haven't been here, I want to be fascinated by it, let's go down and have a look." ”
This pedestrian street is underground, and it is a place where Chow Ka Yee often came to university, and there are small shops that buy goods from the wholesale market, but there are also brand stores that some students consume.
Many people are dizzy as soon as they enter the underground pedestrian street, and some places can't get around after three or five times, but Zhou Jiayi has been here many times, and she is familiar with the two of them to the area of brand clothing.
Li Qiumei wanted to stop when she saw suitable clothes several times, but she was pulled away by her daughter, "The clothes here are all purchased from the wholesale market, and the price has doubled. ”
Not to mention, Li Qiumei really saw one that was exactly the same as what she saw in the wholesale market, and when she asked the price, she knew that Zhou Jiayi was right.
The group of three became outliers in the underground pedestrian street, and when everyone else was walking and stopping, they were the only ones who ran to the innermost place.
Maybe because of the price, this place is obviously more deserted than outside, Zhou Jiayi suddenly stopped, led them into a store selling men's clothing, pointed to the coat hanging on the wall, and asked Lu Junyuan, "What do you think of this?"
"Try it, I think you must look good in it." Zhou Jiayi agitated, Lu Junyuan's usual clothes are black, white and gray, simple and elegant, yes, but she can't always be so deep, she has long been unpleasant.
Before Lu Junyuan refused, Zhou Jiayi had already asked the salesman to take down the blue baseball shirt, and even Li Qiumei, who had always had a very different aesthetic from her daughter, thought that this dress was good.
