Chapter 96 Visit the Provincial Capital Again (Two Chapters in One)

Zhou Jiao didn't know that someone was discussing her tonight, and she didn't think she was that powerful. Even knowing it is just a smile.

This time, the son fell asleep just after feeding, and the mother-in-law also rested early on the kang outside.

Zhang Guoqing was not at home all night, and she couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't feel bad when he left during the day. It will be dead of night, and people are frightened by the movement outside.

The north blows on the window stickers, makes a rustling sound, and the occasional dog barking makes her heart beat. She knew that she lacked a sense of security, and with him around, she felt at ease.

The mother-in-law blows out the oil lamp habitually, but she doesn't stop her. From today's words, I know that people's life is still difficult nowadays. She should pay attention in the future, and don't make such a fuss. See the public. Tell yourself to be inconspicuous and live well.

She doesn't know yet, it's not that she doesn't want to keep a low profile, but that her parents and lover spend so much time on her, there's nothing for her to keep a low profile.

In the darkness, she opened her eyes and was thinking, her future path, her life in the future, the days will get better day by day, but she still needs to be more prepared, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.

Thinking of what grandma once said, and thinking of the sighs of the old people in the village, she subconsciously became nervous. If that day came, she couldn't imagine what it would be like to eat grass roots. She can't rely on others, her mother is a big spender, and her heart is like a child's. When the real food shortage comes, she has to prepare too much, and if there are more people who care about it, she has to prepare an extra one.

In the early morning of the next day, when the bugle sounded, Zhang Guoqing and Xiao Zhou started running along the runway, exercising with the soldiers, and they felt very comfortable after exercising. I ate the breakfast in the army with everyone and did not go to the canteen of the guest house.

Looking at these lovely people and the passionate crowd, he felt very uneasy. He thought he had fully integrated into this era. He was happy to be proud of this country in his heart, and the selfishness for profit in his heart was not ready to move.

He thought that maybe he had to ponder over many things in his life again, and go back and talk to Jiaojiao about his feelings, only Jiaojiao could understand him.

After Lin Lishan took Xizi to accompany the old man to have a good meal, she went back to her room to tidy up her clothes. Lin Lishan said goodbye to the old man. With the help of Zhang Guoqing, she easily saw that all the items she bought last night were put in the car. Looking at the time, I waited directly at the door for the arrival of Fang Jianmei's mother and son.

"Xiao Wu, you go upstairs, don't wait, your grandpa will leave in a while, go early to accompany your grandpa, and stay with your grandpa these few days. Your grandpa praised you last night, and you did a good job. You Do what you want to do by yourself. If something goes wrong, don’t worry. Mom still has some connections, so you can go about your own business. If there is anything missing here, you can’t go out by yourself, just tell Xiao Zhou and ask him to find someone Take it for you, you don’t need to go out yourself. Go upstairs, you see that the two mother and son are Fang Jianmei and her youngest son. You don’t need to know her, Xiao Fei is your buddy, go up.”

After Zhang Guoqing heard this, he understood that it was not easy to refuse when he asked for help after he got to know each other. Fang's family has Xiaofei here. Their level is not up to him to welcome them.

"Okay, mom, I'm going up, you drive carefully by yourself, and Jiaojiao said that, let her rest assured that I will be fine, and I will go back in a few days. Xizi, you must be obedient with grandma. Tell grandma what you want to buy. .” After speaking, Xizi nodded and agreed, and then saw that the other party was also approaching here, and then he left and went upstairs.

Lin Lishan watched Fang Jianmei approaching from afar, opened the car door, let Xizi get in the car, and drove slowly.

"Get in the car quickly and let your son sit in the back with Xizi. You come up to the front, so we can talk and you can show the way."

Fang Jianmei originally wanted to come over to see the old man earlier, but now that the car is coming, she can only get in the car, "I haven't talked to the old man yet, and neither have you. I'm so anxious. Why don't you put all these things in the guest house? You won't just go back to the military area, will you?"

"Hehe, I got up early in the morning. I originally wanted to pick you up at your house. I saw you coming from a distance, so I just came here directly. The old man has been here for a few days. You have a lot of opportunities to meet. I will directly I'll take you back. I won't stop and drive back. The child is waiting at home, and I'll worry if it's late." Lin Lishan replied with a smile while driving the car.

Fang Jianmei gave her an angry look, "The bag I brought contains a military bag and two pairs of military boots. I don't know what size Jiaojiao wears, so I took a general size 37 and a pair of size 44." For your son-in-law, there is nothing you can do if you can’t wear it. It was hard to find. There are also two military coats, both of which are large in size. They are too big to cover myself. I will not ask for others. I will wait for you Nothing back in Beijing. Are you driving to the Friendship Mall?"

"Thanks, I'm going to Friendship Mall. I asked the supply and marketing agency on the same street last night, where do you want to go first?"

Fang Jianmei thought it was still a supply and marketing cooperative, "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, there are fewer people in the morning, so it is easy to buy things, and it is crowded every day. I will buy more while you are driving and put it in front."

Lin Lishan nodded, "Okay, tell me where to stop, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first. Xizi remember to follow grandma when there are more people, so don't squeeze her away."

"Grandma, I know. I'll follow behind with my brother later. If I can't find you, I'll wait for you at the gate. I can't lose it. If I really can't find it, I'll report to the military district guest house to find my uncle." .”

Lin Lishan laughed, "You can't lose it. If you lose it, look for your uncle. I won't let you out next time. I'll catch grandma's clothes later."

Fang Jianmei listened to the two people talking amusedly, "It's okay, there aren't that many people, we won't go in if there are too many people."

After parking at the spot Fang Jianmei pointed out, Lin Lishan locked the car and took them into the supply and marketing cooperative. There were not many people who just started to work, and it was crowded on weekdays and holidays.

Seeing that there is nothing to buy, except to buy some food, she just took Xizi's hand and followed Fang Jianmei to look slowly, watching her buy things, and buying things that she thought were suitable for Jiaojiao. some. Fang Jianmei was carrying big and small bags, and was still looking for other things. The supply and marketing cooperative was more troublesome than the Friendship Mall. To issue an invoice, she had to go to the other side to pay and then run back to get things.

Lin Lishan saw that the fabric was pretty good, so she bought some more, bought two big red thermos bottles, a kettle, looked at the big cotton shoes in the cabinet next to her, and picked out two more pairs for Jiaojiao to wear at home. I can wear it for a few days, and I don’t know the size of Xiaowu. Think about asking Xizi, Xizi really knows the size of 42, and I took two pairs for Xiaowu. See if the cloth ticket I took from Fang Jianmei is gone. , so I didn’t look at that counter, turned around and finally took Xizi and Fang Jianmei to the victory round.

"Shanshan, let's put it in the car and come in, I can't lift it anymore"

Lin Lishan raised her eyebrows and took her back, it was quite a lot. The four returned to the car and rearranged the bills. I found that I bought everything I needed to buy. Seeing her hesitation, Lin Lishan got out of the car decisively, took Xizi to wait for them to get out of the car, locked the car, and went inside.

This time she didn't follow her, and took Xizi to look for the child's things. She looked at Fang Jianmei's youngest son who was following them, and asked him to see what he liked and buy them together. As a result, the two children were quite sensible, but they didn't say what they liked. After thinking about it carefully, she decided to go to the bookstore to buy some comic books for Xizi and the others.

I have a candy ticket, also known as hard candy, thinking about buying two copies of Sixi pastries, and put this in Jiaojiao's house first, in case my mother-in-law comes over, I can take it back for her old man.

After waiting for about an hour, I finally saw Fang Jianmei. After getting in the car, I went directly to the Friendship Mall.

Lin Lishan always remembered that she didn't buy a raincoat and rain boots last night, so she went in and asked if she had any, followed the salesperson's fingers and finally found it at the daily necessities counter. After looking at the color and style, I quickly picked two sets.

Standing in front of the fabric counter again, Lin Lishan looked carefully at each piece of fabric, but in the end the salesperson couldn't see it, and pulled her to squat down to look at the fabric at the bottom of the counter.

"Shhh, this is last month's inventory. There are not a single one left that has returned to the Commercial Bureau. The price is much lower. You can choose it yourself. You have read all the ones on the counter yesterday, and you can buy all the good ones one by one. gone."

Lin Lishan smiled embarrassedly, and found that there were only enough to make one or two pieces, no wonder they didn't return them. Pulling the salesman along, the two of them whispered secretly. Fortunately, it is not like the supply and marketing cooperative where there are crowds of people, so it is very leisurely.

Satisfied, Lin Lishan returned to the car with a large package of fabric.

It has been more than an hour since Fang Jianmei came out. She also bought a bunch of things and put them in the back of the car. Lin Lishan discussed with her to go to the bookstore and buy some comic books for the children.

"Okay, why not, I'll go find a few books too, you don't know how boring you are here when you have nothing to do, I finally bought a good one today. There are still three hundred overseas remittance vouchers, all for you. I need I'll find someone later. Don't give me money, or I won't give it to you. Didn't you confiscate the overseas remittance voucher you gave me in the capital? You're driving a car, and I'll put it away for you, and you bring these vouchers Go back and show Jiaojiao to see if it helps."

"Then I'm not welcome. I will invite you mother and son to a restaurant for dinner later. I won't go back to the guest house to eat. Today, the old man is busy and I won't see you. What do you two like to eat?"

"Let's go back. I asked the child's father to buy vegetables today. You have come to the Northeast, so I want to treat you to a meal."

Lin Lishan quickly refused, "Don't worry, what's the relationship between us? We're in a big courtyard, and you still play this game? I'll eat at your house when I get back. The food at your house won't go bad when we go to your place to eat." Well, it’s dark again, so you can’t drive, if you don’t go back, someone will find the military area tomorrow. Jiaojiao told me, go back today, you didn’t even notice that I brought bodyguards, right?”

Fang Jianmei laughed loudly when she heard the words, "Okay, let's go to the store to eat, so as to save the trouble of going back to the fire. But if you want to go, I have to treat you, so let's make it right first, otherwise, it's not a joke for you to let me be in front of the little sisters in the future ?"

"Okay, I'll invite you, I'm not afraid you won't be able to afford it. The bookstore is here, little ones, let's go, hurry up and find some more books and leave. Take what you fancy. I'll pay for it, so there's no need to argue."

Entering the bookstore, there are only two or three salesmen there, and it is quiet inside, with no one there. People don’t like reading very much nowadays?

Follow the signs to lead the kids to the Children's Books section. This time, Xizi didn't say no to reading, and stared at those books with glowing eyes. The two of them followed the children, one helping the other, just right.

Lin Lishan didn't buy it when she saw Xizi, "Xizi, grandma knows that you are afraid of grandma spending money, but books are not afraid of spending money. This book, you can read it many times after reading it once. It is different from other things. Books It’s worth it, you can learn something, and buy it with confidence. We don’t know when we will come to the provincial capital next time. Xiaorenshu can show pictures to your younger brothers and sisters, and these books can be read slowly for you.”

After Xizi thought about it, she finally chose six books, and finally chose two of the six. Lin Lishan was relieved to see that, and went up to ask for them all. This time Xizi didn't delay and smiled happily. This kid really likes books.

Lin Lishan went to the villain book to pick some, and they were all packed, and she also picked some for Fang Jianmei's old son, and went to check out, it was really expensive, just these books cost more than 20 yuan, a month The salary of a worker in the city means that she is not short of money, otherwise she really can't afford books.

When they ran to the restaurant, the four of them were starving. After lunch, they rested on the chairs for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, the four of them slowly got into the car. Lin Lishan drove them to the family compound, and didn't intend to go upstairs again. Seeing that there was still a package, she quickly called Fang Jianmei to stop.

Fang Jianmei looked at her amusedly: "This is Jiaojiao's. I didn't know she had a baby before, so I didn't buy eggs. You bring these to her. Don't worry, I won't be polite to you. When my boss gets married, I will definitely let you A red envelope. It’s nothing expensive, just malted milk and some snacks. I guess you have all the milk powder ready, so I didn’t take that.”

"Okay, I'll take it. I've collected a lot of good things from you. If I knew it, I wouldn't have come to you. Take the children back early during the Chinese New Year. I won't come to your house this time when I return to Beijing. You usually go to work, and you may not be there when you come, and I will put the car directly in the military area when the time comes."

"Okay, see you in the capital, drive carefully, old son and younger brother say goodbye. Xizi, next time your uncle comes to the provincial capital, let him bring you to our house to play. Do you know the way?"

"I know the way, little brother, I'm leaving, thank you for your gift, I like it very much. Goodbye, auntie."

Lin Lishan put the package directly in the car, "Let's go, you guys go upstairs too." She waved her hand and drove off in the car. She bought everything that needed to be bought, and she was anxious to see Jiaojiao.

"Xizi, we're going back. Is there any place in the provincial capital that you haven't thought about going? It's convenient for us to drive. Think about it. Let's go to the guest house to see if they are there. If they are not, tell the waiter and comrades to let him Convey."

"Okay, grandma, I have nothing else to go, let's go home."

"Okay, listen to Xizi." He drove to the guest house, but it was not there. Lin Lishan asked someone to tell them that they were driving back now.

Lin Lishan tidied up the things on the back seat so that the car would not vibrate and fall down on Xizi, and spread two military coats on the seat to wrap him up, "Wrap him in a coat, sleep first if you want to sleep, the ones below are cloth , It doesn’t hurt to fall off. The small bag contains chocolate and toffee, and if you want to eat, take it yourself.”

After speaking, he nodded, wrapped in a coat, and sat there.

Lin Lishan started to drive in front of her. Nothing happened along the way. At first, Xizi could talk to her, but she slowly fell asleep.
