Make a home for veterans Chapter 3 Shopping (Part II)

It's a precipitous spring day, and the bare branches of the trees are like arms and fingers reaching into the air, still complaining to God about the ruthlessness of winter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The husband and wife had just walked downstairs for not far when Wang Quan suddenly stopped, touched his pants pocket and said to Wang Yueying, "I forgot to bring my mobile phone." ”

Wang Yueying said: "Don't go upstairs to get it, except for your card friends, no one will call you." ”

Wang Quan didn't listen, went upstairs and took his mobile phone before continuing to go out with Wang Yueying.

"In the future, you can go out by yourself, you can go around as much as you want, don't always pull me to accompany you." Wang Quan was unhappy with the boss in his heart, and as soon as he left the gate of the camp, he discussed with Wang Yueying, "People go to the mall to buy things, you are purely wandering around, I will follow your ass, saying that I am a bodyguard, old and frail, and I don't have much strength on my body; Let's say it's an accountant, in addition to the health certificate and the officer's retirement certificate in my pocket, it is a handful of pocket money, and all the money is taken out and added together to exchange for a hundred-yuan bill.

Why don't you go out on the street by yourself today, and I'll be able to work at home. ”

"I've finished all the housework, what else are you doing?"

"Back to bed!"

"No way!" Wang Yueying said in an unquestionable tone, "I know that as soon as you go back to sleep, you won't have a point, and after sleeping enough during the day, you will continue to play poker at night, in your own words, victory expands the results, and defeat regains lost ground." ”

Wang Quan had no choice but to reluctantly follow Wang Yueying and continue to walk forward.

If Wang Yueying goes to the street, she is like a robot with sufficient energy, which can walk street by street, shopping mall after mall, and look at counter after counter. She rarely buys anything, and occasionally buys a thing, and she picks it up, and looks at it over and over again, as if she is doing a final quality check on the launch vehicle before liftoff, until she picks the salesperson's red face into a cold face, and her black eyes into white eyes, and she may not be able to pick a product that she thinks she likes. Even if the salesperson sometimes spits and splatters, don't think about pulling a coin out of her pocket. "If we see something in the mall and want to buy it, our little retirement money will be spent quickly," Wang Yueying once told Wang Quan.

Wang Quan followed Wang Yueying to the shopping mall, when Wang Yueying selected goods, he usually first found a place to sit, settled his buttocks, and then carefully observed the people who visited the mall: "Today's girls are really interesting, on a cold day, wearing a small jacket on the top, a small skirt in the middle, a pair of small leather shoes on the feet, and the knees are exposed, so they are not afraid of arthritis?" Even if the current climate is abnormal and the earth is warming, it is not enough to wear midsummer clothes in early spring! What's even more incredible is that the toes of the people are almost side by side, but they have to wear a pair of pointed shoes like an awl, so that the ten little brothers are squeezed together to be wronged. If I were a young man, I wouldn't be looking for a girl who likes to wear pointy shoes as a wife, and if the two of us got into a fight, if she kicked you, it would be much worse than being injected by a nurse in the hospital. "Hey, this girl's 'skin' is really big, she wears a leather hat on her head, a small leather jacket on her upper body, a pair of leather boots on her feet, a short leather skirt tied around her waist, and a white section above and below her knees, oh, that's human skin, another backbone member of the Arthritis Alliance. The animals should unite to accuse her: Why did you peel off our skin and stick it on you? You're just a little warmer, but we're dead. "These two seem to be old husbands and wives, but the women are overnourished, the men are short of pounds, and the two people stand together like a flat pole and a bucket, but they are also intimate and happy, and the eyes of mutual care can be cut into a section as a crutch."

He sometimes likes to watch others bargain and quarrel, and these tragicomedies performed in shopping malls and on the street are much better than the programs broadcast on TV, and the feelings are sincere and unpretentious.

"When you go to the mall, you see more and buy less," Wang Quan once said to Wang Yueying, "When you go home, if you take out all the goods you see in your eyes, you can open a big supermarket." ”

"You don't buy or look at the goods, if you take out all the girls you see in your eyes, you can form a women's militia battalion." Wang Yueying said to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan blushed and defended: "A good-looking woman is a flower, and a man who doesn't look at it is a fool." ”

"Others are flowers, I am grass?"

"You're not a grass, you're a flower, at least a dog's tail flower."

"Dog tail flowers don't look good as other flowers?"

"No, each has its own characteristics, turnip and cabbage, each has its own love, and my favorite thing to see is the dog's tail flower."

"Since they're all flowers, what do you think other women are doing?"

"Have you ever seen a man who has only looked at one flower in his life? Besides, when a man of my age looks at a woman, it is not desire, but appreciation, and seeing too much can be pleasing to the eye and strengthen the body. In addition, I don't only look at women and not men, and I only look at young people and not old people. ”

The two of them went to the mall together, often talking nonsense, talking while walking, talking and shopping.

When two husband and wife are together, they are always happy to talk nonsense.

If the husband and wife always have nothing to say together, the days are almost over.

Wang Yueying came out this time to buy a pair of sneakers for her son, and when she entered the mall, she stopped in front of a counter selling shoes. Wang Quan saw that there was a stool next to him for customers to try on shoes was still empty, so he hurriedly sat down on it. After a while, he and a few players played "double picking" again.

Wang Quan's luck today is particularly good, the big and small king and the four "tops", four "2" were caught in his hands, he immediately rescued the door if there was a difficulty, and the opponent played a good card He immediately suppressed, so not happy!

Wang Quan's cards were playing to his head, and he suddenly felt that someone was pushing him hard. Wang Quan was very unhappy, and said in a daze: "I have already played cards, why are you pushing me?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt another pain in his shoulder. He woke up in shock, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was sitting on a stool in the mall, and there were two girls next to him looking at him, covering their mouths with their hands and laughing. Wang Yueying blushed, twisted his shoulder again, and whispered: "You haven't played cards, you've made a fool!" ”

On the way home, Wang Yueying's face was full of unhappiness, and she counted Wang Quan angrily: "If you don't help me pick something, just stay on the side, sit there and snore!" ”

Wang Quan was also aggrieved, and said dissatisfied: "You let me go to the mall with you purely to suffer from it, I can't even tell the difference between good and silk, artificial leather and leather, I can't be mistaken, I can't be mistaken, you have to say whether this shirt is good, that pants are not good, how can I explain it clearly?" ”

Wang Yueying looked at his "bitter and hateful" appearance, and laughed "fluttering": "I don't want you to go to the mall with me, I want you to get up from the bed, get up from the sofa, move more and live a healthy life." ”

"If you want to move, you can go to the park, why do you have to go to the mall?"

"Going to the mall is not only to see the goods, buy the goods, but also a kind of spiritual enjoyment, we are all in the shortage of materials, the era of ticket supply, see so many goods open supply, there will be a sense of security, the heart feels particularly down-to-earth." Wang Yueying explained to Wang Quan.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Wang Quan said to Wang Yueying: "I'm hungry, let's be ruthless today, eat outside, and have a bowl of beef stewed noodles for one person, right?" ”

Wang Yueying said: "Don't people talk about 'beautiful and delicious', you see that women are full, and they know that they are hungry!" ”

Wang Quan said with a grin: "My eyes are full, but my stomach is still empty." ”

Wang Yueying was about to say something, but the mobile phone in Wang Quan's pocket rang.

"Hey, which one?" Wang Quan stopped and answered the phone, "It's the leader of the bureau!" What am I doing now, you ask? What else can I do when I retire, I was busy racing with rabbits when I was on the job, and after I retired, I was idle to walk with the turtle, I stayed every day, I was very bored, I had nothing to do to do, and I had to take off my pants and run to the toilet when I had a fart. Comrade Deputy Director, I am ashamed to say that I am not even as good as cattle and horses, because cows eat grass, milk is milk, milk is what I eat, and urine is spilled; The horse can still be old and ambitious, while I have nothing to do and sit at home. What do you say I should attend? Oh, got it, got it, I'm thinking about talking back to you. ”

"Whose phone number?" Wang Yueying asked on the side.

"Deputy Director Ma of our bureau."

"You are still so light and heavy when you speak to Deputy Director Ma?"

"He knows that I like to joke, and besides, we are both old comrades-in-arms for many years, so he doesn't care."

"What's the matter with him?"

"You're asking such a detailed question." Wang Quan said, "He said that the General Affairs Department was going to build affordable housing for the retired cadres of the agency, and that it was going to set up a preparatory office, and asked me if I could participate." ”

"Why is he still looking for you when you retire?"

"Several in-service officers of our bureau are too busy to spare their work, and I have been in charge of the management of retired cadres for several years before I retired, and I am familiar with the situation of retired cadres. Asking me to participate in the work of preparing for the office is equivalent to rehiring, and I will be paid some money every month. ”

"It doesn't matter if you are paid or not, or if the pay is more or less, as long as it allows you to have a serious business, quickly reply to Deputy Director Ma that you agree to go."

Wang Quan hesitated for a moment and dialed Deputy Director Ma's phone.

Wang Yueying waited for Wang Quan to finish talking to Deputy Director Ma, and asked him: "You scolded me just now and told Deputy Director Ma that coming out with me was 'walking with the turtle'?" ”

Wang Quan paused for a moment, and immediately said seriously: "Yes, I just said 'take a walk with the turtle', but that's not a scolding, the thousand-year-old king of the eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, I am wishing you a long life." ”
