Chapter 390: Grocery Shopping

"By the way, how did you know I was here?"

Xia Zhi has been too busy recently and has no time to tell Zhou Zhengan what he is doing. He just told Zhou Zhengan that he had a plan to open a restaurant and a hotel.

How to implement it specifically, it seems that he has no time to write a letter recently.

"In fact, my transfer order came a month ago, and I returned to Shangjing very early.

But I don't have time to see you, because there are a lot of handovers after returning to Shangjing, and there are too many tasks at hand. I am busy meeting leaders at all levels and meeting with subordinates every day."

"Later, I asked about your situation and knew that you were about to graduate. I am sure you are planning your things now. As a result, I found out that you actually contracted this place."

"I know your address, but I don't have time to come. Today, I finally took the time to see you, and I ran into you."

Zhou Zhengan frowned after saying this, but he couldn't help it.

"It's easy to be bullied by others when you are busy with these things alone. Why didn't Gu Zixi and Gu Zhaolin come to help you?"

The second half of the sentence is inevitably a bit sour.

"Gu Zixi has helped me a lot in contracting this place. If it weren't for his introduction, I wouldn't have found such a suitable place in a short time."

"Usually they will come to help me after get off work. Anyway, you don't have to worry about me being bullied."

Xia Zhi understood when he heard this that Zhou Zhengan was concerned about him and couldn't stop worrying about him.

"Xia Zhi, you wrote to me saying that you have been single all the time. You are not young anymore. You should find a partner and settle down. It is better to have a man around to help you than to be alone."

Zhou Zhengan felt that this was not sincere.

"You are the same. I heard that you are still not married. How come you can't find a suitable place on the farm? I don't believe it."

Xia Zhi also called Zhou Zhengan and had to admit that Zhou Zhengan's temperament has become more stable than before after four years.

After being polished by time, Zhou Zhengan's brilliance is more prosperous than before.

Especially the pair of eyes, which were calm and wise, seemed to have changed from the young boy and slightly silly Zhou Zhengan back then.

Zhou Zhengan now can't hide his temperament even if he is sitting here in a simple outfit.

This man has been given the best things by time. It is said that men are in their prime at 31. Zhou Zhengan was already 30 years old at the time. Now Zhou Zhengan is probably in his best years.

The precipitation of time has made him more mature and calm.

Even Xia Zhi was a little jealous. She didn't expect Zhou Zhengan to become so stunning in four years, which made women feel a little distracted at first glance.

Even her long-time friend was a little fluttering.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt a little different.

Zhou Zhengan's expression sank after hearing these words. Xia Zhi thought she had seen it wrong because she saw a trace of grievance on Zhou Zhengan's face.

"I haven't met the right one yet, so I can't settle for it."

"You're not young anymore. If your family doesn't push you, your parents should have been anxious a long time ago, right?

Isn't your father a man who cares about matching up? He should have forced you to go on a blind date a long time ago, right?"

Xia Zhi thought of Shen's father back then.

Zhou Zhengan thought of his father, and a hint of sneer appeared in his eyes.

"What's the point of him being anxious? Anyway, he still has two sons. He can still have grandchildren without me."

Thinking of the little actions his father and stepmother had done recently, Zhou Zhengan said impatiently,

"Let's not talk about other people."

"I'm hungry. I want to eat the food you cook."

Xia Zhi looked helpless,

"Shouldn't you treat me to a meal when old friends meet? But you asked me to cook for you as soon as we met."

Zhou Zhengan said with a smile on his face.

"I won't be polite to you about our relationship. Anyway, I'm hungry and I want to eat."

"Okay, my Captain Zhou.

There's nothing in the canteen here. Otherwise, you can go to the vegetable market with me to buy some vegetables and come back to cook for you. Whatever you want to eat, there will be everything."

Considering that it would take time for three people to make a phone call.

The canteen is good in other aspects, the only drawback is that there are no ingredients now.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Zhengan was immediately excited. It was rare to take a day off, and he was reluctant to leave Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was willing to take him to buy vegetables, which proved that Xia Zhi still treated him the same as before.

She didn't treat him as an outsider, and the relationship between the two was still so simple and harmonious.

This was a pleasant surprise.

The two walked outside one after the other. The vegetable market was actually not far from the canteen. They were surrounded by factory dormitories.

There were two large vegetable markets alone.

After the policy was relaxed, the vegetable market was varied and sold everything, which was very rich.

The two walked into the vegetable market, Zhou Zhengan was a little nagging,

"I want to eat the pickled fish you made, and I also want to eat twice-cooked pork.

I also want to eat braised pork and spare ribs."

"Captain, you can't eat everything you want in one meal, what will you eat next time?"

Xia Zhi teased him, but quickly bought a fish.

I didn't have any other condiments, so I had to buy some of each condiment, and ended up buying more and more.

Zhou Zhengan took it upon himself to work, and everything was handed over to him. Xia Zhi was only responsible for easily choosing in front of the vegetable stall and then paying.

Zhou Zhengan's tall stature and outstanding appearance, even in casual clothes, still stand out from the crowd, and seem to be a bit out of tune with the dirty vegetable market around him.

The vegetable vendors looked at him differently.

The aunt who was packing vegetables for Xia Zhi said with a smile,

"Oh, you two are really a perfect match. Such a spirited young man is rare.

Girl, you have to keep an eye on him, it's easy for someone to kidnap him."

Xia Zhi was amused and blushed.

"Aunt, we..."

Zhou Zhengan took the vegetables from her.

"Aunt, your vegetables are really fresh, and the price is so cheap. You can tell that they are grown by your own family, and you have put a lot of effort into growing them.

Aunt, your vegetable growing skills are old-fashioned."

The vegetable vendor smiled immediately after hearing this, and grabbed a handful of green onions and stuffed them into Zhou Zhengan's hand.

"Oh, you have a sharp eye, young man. Let me tell you, my old man has been growing vegetables for 30 years.

The vegetables he grows are better than others, fresher, and better grown. And look how juicy they are. We just pulled them out of the ground this morning."

"I guarantee you will be very satisfied after eating them."

Zhou Zhengan smiled and urged Xia Zhi to go to the next house while carrying things.

He really enjoyed the feeling of being considered a couple.

Indeed, at their ages, they should have started a family by now.

These days, if you are not married in your twenties, you will basically be considered an old bachelor or an old maid.

I am already 38.

Xia Zhi is also 30.

Seriously speaking, their ages are really considered older youth.
