Chapter 297: Hanging Out
Dong'an Market, Dongdan District. This comprehensive mall, which was a public-private partnership last year, has stores next to each other. Nowadays, it is the only one that can shop and eat on the ground of the capital and enjoy performances.
All this has also caused a huge flow of people here, and there are crowds of people, no matter what level of status. Zhou Jiao also saw the last nobleman walking the bird in the crowd.
There is a wide variety of goods in the market, and the high cash registers in the shops are densely packed with steel wires leading to the counters.
From time to time, the salesperson at the counter rolls up the money ticket he received with a freshly opened receipt, clamps it with an iron clip, and pushes it to the cash register.
Customers in line at the front of the counter don't have to run around. The "whoosh" sound made by the iron clamp touching the steel wire and the customer's voice intersected with the ears.
Zhou Jiao worriedly looked at the iron clip that came from the top of her head, and listened to the conversation in the crowd while paying attention to the clothes of the crowd around her.
She has been to this market in the future, and it has lost its prosperity today. The opera garden, restaurant, and bookstore that I came to see just now surround the entire market have become a holy place for the people of Shoud to wander, and it is also a holy place in the minds of foreign tourists.
Mrs. Cheng and Lin Lishan lined up separately, and Zhou Jiao felt that there was nothing to buy. She said hello to the two and walked all the way.
It is rumored that foreign embassies are concentrated in this area, and many foreign magazines can be found. When I arrived at the book sales office, I found that the old books were gone, all new books. This made her suddenly bored.
She slipped into the fabric area and saw that Lin Lishan was already picking out the colors. Afraid of being pulled up, she quietly turned to the left and began to continue to observe the prices of goods at the various counters.
Taking advantage of the fact that many things don't need tickets now, she has set her sights on the goal, and her next goal is to take Zhang Guoqing to exchange funds for supplies.
After more than an hour, I finally saw them come out with their things. Zhou Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not her style to hang out without a goal.
Walking to the Silian hairdresser, Lin Lishan pulled Zhou Jiao and the old lady in. Eight Mao? It's a slaughter! There are really a lot of wrongs.
Zhou Jiao declined her mother's proposal. She likes long hair and likes straight hair. Looking at the female compatriots around her again, with permed hair and spring breeze on their faces, she shed tears for these women with similar styles. Put on a padded jacket in winter, and look at it from behind at night, and you are not afraid that your man will see the wrong person and hug the wrong person?
The three women got their haircuts, and seeing that it was not early, they immediately hurriedly found a car and rushed home.
Che Zhou Jiao snickered at Mrs. Cheng. She remembered that when the old lady went out, she would say to Zhang Guoqing with a sure face, and she would come back in three hours to wake up safely.
Look! No matter how old a woman is, the demand for shopping will not decline.
When he returned home, Zhang Guoqing saw Zhou Jiao in the living room empty-handed, raised his eyebrows, and in the morning his daughter-in-law said that he was going to buy a big deal.
He hurriedly handed the son in his arms to Zhou Jiao. For milk powder, he found that the child did not like to eat it. It should be this little guy who tastes it.
"Mom, grandma asked her to call our family to eat at her in the evening. What about peace? Zhang Guoqing saw that Mrs. Cheng was carrying things happily and followed Zhou Jiao to the east wing, and said softly.
Lin Lishan didn't raise her head and said, "Ask your father, wait for him to come back." Little Five, don't laugh. How about helping Mom see how about making clothes for you? ”
"Mom's always had a good eye. If you think it's okay, it's going to work. ”
"My little five just can talk. It's okay to go out with Xiaofei and them at night, and you can watch movies with Jiaojiao. Get out and about and don't get bored at home. You're still not at ease when you hand over peace to your mother? ”
Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile. Secretly talking about himself is really not at ease, his mother-in-law is like a child. Give it to Aunt Chen for fear that the child will not be familiar with it. He'd better watch it himself. Especially in the past few days, Jiaojiao is worried about things. After going out for a walk, there is a chance. Looking at Lin Lishan's smiling face, he sighed secretly.
He prayed to Old Man Lin to be smarter, he heard that the Gu family hadn't left in the afternoon, and he was still staying in the Lin family. Is this targeting his father-in-law and his wife?
He has a headache with Gu Ruyi now, so he can't stop it? Don't think about it tonight, you will definitely test Zhou Jiao by paying back the dowry. He has decided to give up this dowry, this is a dynamite keg! Gu Ruyi is always a hidden danger.
Zhou Xiaozheng was returning home from work, followed by Lin Aiguo.
Lin Aiguo, who is in his forties, has a very respectful attitude towards Zhou Xiaozheng. It is difficult for unfamiliar people to imagine that this is the relationship between the brother-in-law and his brother-in-law.
After entering the living room, Lin Aiguo was not in a hurry to go home. He drank the hot tea brought by his aunt and continued to chat with Zhou Xiaozheng about the topic just now.
Zhou Xiaozheng learned that the Lin family invited their family to dinner tonight, and he nodded slightly. The man had already come to guard the house, and he had no intention of avoiding it. I saw Mrs. Cheng and Zhou Jiao come out and talked about tonight's banquet.
Mrs. Cheng refused Lin Aiguo's invitation on the grounds of taking care of the children, arranged Zhou Jiao's hair, and urged the family to hurry over.
The group went out of the house and met many acquaintances along the way. This will be the end of work, and many people will start to go home, and when they see Zhou Xiaozheng, they will stop and say hello. The soldiers from a distance also gathered around and looked at Zhou Jiao curiously.
Now it is rumored in the compound that the cold-faced king Zhou Xiaozheng loves his only daughter very much. If you have something to ask him to talk about his daughter first, Zhou Xiaozheng will not speak coldly. If you praise his daughter to his face, you can see him with a rare smile.
In the past two days, everyone saw that he no longer kept a straight face every day, and began to have the courage to joke with him.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Zhou Xiaozheng pulled Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing with a smile in his eyes to introduce and greet everyone one by one. He found that the soldiers and their families who lived in the front buildings had come to watch, knowing that they were curious. He is happy to let everyone take a good look at his Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing smiled and greeted everyone, listening to their jokes. They all nodded and thanked them bluntly for their invitation. In the face of this group of rough men, the two chatted with everyone until the end. This is a group of lovely soldiers, straightforward, warm and friendly.
Lin Aiguo saw that the time was not early, so he opened his mouth and invited everyone to his house for a drink. Everyone understood that this was their family dinner, and some people even understood that this was the first time that the Zhou Lin family had a dinner, and everyone refused with a smile.
There were also some people who knocked on the lunch box and pointed to the location of the cafeteria, and the people in twos and threes made an appointment with each other to drink and then left.
Lin Aiguo pulled Zhou Xiaozheng and walked home quickly, but he hadn't reached the bend of the road yet. They met a few old soldiers again, and then the old men shouted Zhou Xiaozheng.
Several old men looked at their family, laughed and said that Old Man Lin didn't brag, and praised Zhou Jiao who greeted him with a smile. One or two old men patted Zhang Guoqing on the shoulder and asked him to go to the small park tomorrow to boxing together.
These old men had already seen Zhang Guoqing in the morning, and they were deeply dissatisfied with his refusal to enlist in the army. In their opinion, the descendants of the military still have to go to the army.
This will bring up the old man's old story again and ask Zhou Xiaozheng to persuade the child to let the child take the military academy.
Zhou Jiao couldn't help but laugh in the face of this group of old naughty boys, praising people and repeating a few words, catching Zhang Guoqing had to let him be a soldier. She began to wonder if Zhang Guoqing's college aspirations would be emphasized two years later.
Seeing that it was not early, the old men had enough fun before letting their family leave.
Just a few minutes away, there was a delay of more than an hour on the road. Lin Aiguo didn't dare to walk slowly, lowered his head and pulled Zhou Xiaozheng to go home quickly.
