Capital City, department store.

It's really busy and there are a lot of people here.

Because with the approach of the Spring Festival, more and more people are ready to come here to buy New Year's goods.

Zhou Jimin also came, but he came with Ding Qiunan today.

"You are not allowed to pay anything except for helping me get things today, do you hear?"

Before she came, she warned Zhou Jimin that he was just a tool man who carried things, not a payment tool.

What an age of innocence.

"Your parents don't buy New Year's goods by themselves, why do they want you to buy them?"

"They all have to go to work, my brother and my sister have to go to school, and my mother has to stick matchboxes at home, so I'm alone."

"Your father's salary is not low, is he? Why does your mom keep doing these part-time jobs? Isn't the work at home tiring? ”

In this era, there are very few women who are not diligent.

Ding's mother is also a person who can't be idle, and the life of the Ding family is actually not rich, so she can earn a little bit.

"There's not much work at home, and I've told her, but she feels that she has nothing to do, and she's bored, so it's better to find something to do."

This is a fact, there are really few middle-aged women like Jia Zhang, who began to care for the elderly in their forties, took painkillers every day, and did not work.

While wandering around and chatting, time flies.

"Don't you have to buy clothes for Xiaoqing and them?"

When he walked to the ready-to-wear area, Ding Qiunan suddenly asked.

Does Zhou Jimin think this is a problem?

When the rolling mill is on holiday, just bring the four small ones over and let them pick them by themselves.

There are no women in the family, so Zhou Shuqing's needlework, don't talk about it.

It's not that Zhou Shuqing doesn't know how to do needlework, but it's really not as good as the ready-to-wear she bought.

In addition, there was no sewing machine at home, but there was one before, but after Lao Zhou left, Zhou's mother's health deteriorated, and she didn't have enough money to spend, so she sold the sewing machine.

In this era, even if you sell second-hand, you can't lose too much money.

So, it's really valuable.

Coming out of the department store, Zhou Jimin's hands and body were already full.

He waved his hand to the board truck master who was waiting on the side of the road, and motioned for the other party to help pull the goods.

"Comrade, how much?"

"Look, you don't have a lot of goods, you can give 2 cents."

Ding Qiunan did not buy many New Year's goods, but there was a piece of furniture and a bed.

The bed is bulky and big, so it has to be transported by pallet truck.

The bed at her house was eaten by insects, and it was noisy every night, so it was directly burned as firewood and replaced with a new one.

Under normal circumstances, the Ding family is certainly not so extravagant.

But the bed itself has been sleeping for many years, and she and her sister have also grown up, so the previous small bed is indeed a bit cramped.

"Okay, excuse me."

Zhou Jimin didn't bargain either, because 2 cents is basically the market price, and if it is less, people don't have to eat?

Seeing that he called a board car, Ding Qiunan rarely accused him of being extravagant and wasteful.

The two sent the New Year's goods and bed back to the sycamore tree compound, and the neighbors in the courtyard joked about Ding Qiunan again.

When will you eat your candy?

It's been a few months, who is like Ding Qiunan? After talking for so long, they have almost lived together, but they haven't gotten married yet?

Honestly, the matchmakers can't wait.

In the vicinity of Sycamore Tree Hutong, Ding Qiunan is a first-class good girl and does not worry about getting married.

Originally, many matchmakers rushed to introduce her a lot, but she didn't take a fancy it.

In the blink of an eye, she talked about one herself.

Now in the new society, pay attention to free love, and the matchmaker also blesses her.

But it's been a few months, and now that the Chinese New Year is over, why don't you have a letter yet?

Ding Qiunan was still very shy about the jokes of the neighbors, but Zhou Jimin was cheeky, smiling and saying some nice polite words.

Seriously, these neighbors in the courtyard are much easier to get along with than those in the courtyard.

At the very least, although the courtyard is poor, it is very poor and has backbone, and it is really not cheap.

Of course, broken mouths are inevitable.

But the girl of the Ding family really found a good son-in-law, who doesn't give a thumbs up when she sees it?

Back in the house, the younger siblings of the Ding family helped glue the matchbox at home.

When he saw Zhou Jimin coming in, he called his brother-in-law directly.

Zhou Jimin nodded in response, obviously Ding Xiaochuan was one year older than him, but he asked the other party to call him brother-in-law.

No way, who is Ding Qiunan the sister?

"Jimin, what do you want to eat at noon? Auntie will do it for you. ”

Ding's mother Su Ruyun is very enthusiastic, and her hands and feet are quite quick.

"Thank you, Auntie, Nan Nan bought meat, why don't we eat dumplings at noon?"

"Okay, I'll make a face."

On the other side, Ding Qiunan, who was busy placing New Year's goods, was suddenly unhappy.

"Mom, I told you yesterday that I wanted to eat dumplings, but you didn't make them for me, and now that Zhou Jimin is here, you don't hesitate, am I your own child?"

Su Ruyun, who was busy making noodles, was not idle in her mouth, "I told you a long time ago, you were picked up in the trash can by me." ”

"Mom~" Ding Qiunan stomped her feet and was coquettish, but Su Ruyun didn't want to deal with her, so she chatted with Zhou Jimin again.

The little sister of the Ding family was also helping beside her, and Zhou Jimin was not idle, so she volunteered to chop the stuffing.

The family works together and will soon be able to wrap dumplings.

Zhou Jimin rolled the dumpling skin alone, not to mention the speed, the skin was thin and even, and he was envious of Ding Xiaochuan's brothers and sisters.

Ding Qiunan, who was used as a negative teaching material, was reprimanded by her mother again.

"In the past, the dumpling wrappers you rolled out, not to mention the slow swallowing, the skin was thick and thin, and the skin was irregular....."

At the door, as soon as Ding Rushan came back, he heard his mother-in-law complaining about her daughter, but she didn't hear it, and praised Zhou Jimin with a smile.

With Ding Rushan joining, the speed of making dumplings is faster.

The five of them make dumplings, and Zhou Jimin rolls the skin alone, and the speed is still as fast as him.

When eating dumplings, the Ding family was praising Zhou Jimin, but Ding Qiunan kept rolling his eyes.

Anyway, as long as Zhou Jimin is here, she can't be favored.

In the evening, Zhou Jimin went back to the courtyard, but heard a bunch of people in the courtyard chatting.

Xu Damao, who consciously had a good relationship with Zhou Jimin, beckoned to him:

"Jimin, have you heard? Wei Chunhong, the cashier of the finance department, actually ran away with the money, and the material procurement money of 16,000 yuan is now all gone! ”

Zhou Jimin was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was the situation?

Xu Damao suddenly became more energetic, and the other neighbors in the courtyard had obviously heard it just now, but they still continued to listen very seriously.

It turned out that this happened a few days ago, and the factory needed to purchase materials for the New Year, and one of the sums was withdrawn by the cashier Wei Chunhong from the bank.

The factory was covered for a few days, and I don't know why, but the matter finally came out.

Zhou Jimin, who didn't return to the rolling mill today, really didn't know about it.

That's a big case.
