Chapter 628 A World for Two, Jiang Wenhui
$626
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, everyone came back from visiting relatives.
Mrs. Huo asked Huo Yingjie to take He Tiantian out to play and relax, so that they could not stay at home all day.
There were many people in the family and someone was taking care of the children, so Huo Yingjie was happy to take He Tiantian out to play.
He Tiantian brought money and overseas Chinese coupons, and was going to go shopping again today.
"Aren't we going out for a walk?" Huo Yingjie felt a little aggrieved. What about the sweet world of two people?
He Tiantian looked at the dark sky outside, and the cold wind was mixed with snow particles. She asked back: "Are you sure you want to go out in such weather?"
Huo Yingjie's eyes were all He Tiantian, so he didn't pay attention to the weather. Since He Tiantian was afraid of the cold, he had to say: "Okay, let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store to buy things. At least there is heating inside, so it's not cold."
This time, He Tiantian brought 2,500 yuan and 3,000 yuan of Overseas Chinese coupons, trying to spend all the money.
He Tiantian continued to choose things, while Huo Yingjie was behind her with a shopping basket, acting as a porter.
When the salesperson saw He Tiantian this time, Huo Yingjie was very enthusiastic. Before the Lunar New Year, this young couple came here and bought thousands of things. What a big deal!
This time, He Tiantian bought thousands of things just for food, and then bought some elegant silks and satins, which she could make into skirts in the summer. He Tiantian also bought several beautiful silk scarves.
He Tiantian also liked the handicrafts here, so she bought some and gave them as gifts when she went out to visit guests in the future.
This time, she spent a total of 2,200 yuan.
These things were sorted and sent to her home in Nanshi together.
Anyway, they would take the train back to Nanshi on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
They arrived home, and these things were almost there.
At noon, when they came out of the Overseas Chinese Store, several salespeople behind them watched them leave.
"Oh, they are so rich." One of the salesmen exclaimed, "We only make 50 yuan a month, and the money from these two purchases is enough for us to earn for several years."
"They are overseas Chinese, and they have money." One of them echoed, "In the past, if there were relatives overseas, the family would be criticized. Now it won't be. If someone has relatives overseas, it's a big deal. I really hope I have such rich relatives."
"Who doesn't want to have rich relatives!"
······
From the conversations of these salesmen, it can be seen that not only the upper class, but also the people have completely changed their attitude towards the outside world.
The haze of the past has passed, and spring is coming.
"Brother Yingjie, we won't go back for lunch at noon. I'll invite you to the Overseas Chinese Hotel for a romantic lunch." He Tiantian smiled, ready to make Huo Yingjie happy.
Brother Yingjie has always been thinking about finding a romantic place to be alone.
Sure enough, Huo Yingjie's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Great, I can't wait."
"Well, I still have money and coupons in my hand, let's spend them today." He Tiantian was in high spirits. If you have money, spend it. Life is short, what's the point of not enjoying it.
Huo Yingjie was stunned, and suddenly felt that if he didn't make money well, he would be destined to be a gigolo in the future.
As a dignified man, it's a bit uncomfortable to be supported by his wife. It seems that after returning, he has to think about how to make money.
The two came to the Overseas Chinese Hotel, which is divided into several restaurants with different flavors of food.
"Brother Yingjie, which country's food do you like to eat?" He Tiantian asked, asking Huo Yingjie for advice.
Huo Yingjie thought for a while and said, "I don't have any special favorites, just pick it."
"Then how about French food?" He Tiantian asked, "I guess you are not used to the food of other countries!"
"Okay, listen to you." Huo Yingjie said, following He Tiantian.
The facilities in the French restaurant are very elegant.
In 1972, He Tiantian, Grandma Qi San and others returned from the United States and transited through France. They were lucky enough to have an authentic French meal there, which He Tiantian has always remembered.
The atmosphere here is good, with a bit of the romance and comfort of a French restaurant.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Do you like it here?"
"Not bad, very quiet." Huo Yingjie smiled and pointed to a table next to the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, "Let's go sit there, eat and enjoy the scenery."
"Okay! "He Tiantian agreed and followed Huo Yingjie to the bedside.
It was heated inside and very warm.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took off their coats, and a waiter wearing a vest and a bow tie came to help take the clothes over.
He Tiantian was wearing a light yellow close-fitting sweater, and Huo Yingjie was wearing a light blue sweater, which was very fresh, like a touch of early spring in winter.
French food is notoriously slow.
However, the couple came out not just to eat, but they liked to spend time together alone, face to face, with only each other's reflection in their eyes.
A sweet smile, gentle words, and the picture of the two people together were a beautiful picture in the eyes of others.
The lunch was delicious and the two had a great time talking.
"Cousin?" Just when He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were chatting happily, a woman at a table not far away called softly.
The direction the woman called was exactly He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.
Huo Yingjie frowned slightly and looked at the source of the sound. Oh, it was indeed a distant relative of the family. He said: "Hello, Wenhui, this is my wife, He Tiantian. He Tiantian, this is my mother's second uncle's. Daughter, Jiang Wenhui.”
"Hello." He Tiantian greeted, stood up, and reached out to shake hands with Jiang Wenhui.
"Hello, cousin." Jiang Wenhui smiled, "I thought I could see my cousin and cousin yesterday, but only my aunt and uncle came over, and you didn't come."
Huo Yingjie said politely: "There are children at home, so we can't all leave."
"Then you can bring your children over too." Jiang Wenhui said, "My dad and grandpa have been talking about you!"
"Haha." Huo Yingjie smiled, very distantly, "Thank you so much, Grandpa. I miss you."
They were not really close friends to begin with, but there was just a level of kinship, so Huo Yingjie responded politely and distantly.
"Then cousin, cousin, if you are free, you can come over to our house as a guest." Jiang Wenhui said, looking up and down at the clothes of the two people opposite. No wonder her mother often said in front of her that her aunt's family was in good condition, and it was true.
"Well, let's talk about it later when we have time." Huo Yingjie said politely, without saying a specific date, indicating that he would not go back.
I came here just to have a quiet and elegant time to spend time together.
Now that the sweet atmosphere was ruined, Huo Yingjie didn't want to stay here anymore.
