Zhou Haiwen held Hua Cui's hand, and the two walked on the street. No one knew him and Hua Cui in this strange and prosperous city, and they only gave good wishes to the hands they held, sighing that they really made a couple. A golden girl with outstanding looks.
The shopping mall is not far from the newsstand. There is a big banner at the door, "Min'an Market", and a slogan painted in red paint. It is both red and professional, and has a simple sense of the times.
Huacui sighed: "It's so lively."
It is a completely different custom from that of later generations.
There were many people coming and going in the shopping mall, but Zhou Haiwen always held Hua Cui's hand. He enjoyed spending time with her in such an open and honest manner.
"Well, after all, it is the largest shopping mall in the provincial capital. Take a look, is there anything you like in it?"
Huacui shook her head. It was lively, but she was not very interested. The things sold in the mall seemed fashionable and novel now, but in her eyes they had long been outdated.
But don't take advantage of the bastard. She didn't pay anyway, so Huacui still picked out a few new clothes.
Zhou Haiwen was young and handsome, and he was generous with his money. He didn't even blink when he paid. The salesperson couldn't help but praise Huacui, who would look even more beautiful in his clothes.
Hua Cui has heard this compliment countless times since she was a child, but it still applies to her. She said with a proud expression on her face: "Thank you, you have good taste too."
The salesman was stunned for a moment, then he was amused by her words. He looked at Huacui, and his face suddenly felt warm for some reason.
She is so pretty and has a nice voice.
Seeing this, the smile on Zhou Haiwen's face faded a little, and he stood in front of Huacui calmly: "Let's go, let's go look elsewhere."
"Yeah."
The salesman watched the two people leave. After a while, he touched the back of his head. Was it an illusion? It always felt like the gay man just glared at him with great malice.
My back felt a little chilly.
Huacui bought candied haws and fruits from other stalls. Next to the clothing area was the vegetable and fish area. She remembered that she hadn't eaten seafood for a long time and was about to step forward when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a particularly familiar figure from behind.
It's Zhao Qiming, and he actually appears here! ?
Hua Cui's heart suddenly clenched, now was obviously not a good time to meet.
Zhao Qiming was holding the purchased vegetables and tomatoes while bargaining with the stall owner, while she and Zhou Haiwen were holding hands and talking and laughing.
Seeing that he was about to look up, Hua Cui's body reacted faster than her brain. She suddenly let go of Zhou Haiwen's hand, and then pushed him aside. The wide cloth on the shelf blocked his figure.
She lowered her voice and threatened very quickly: "Hide well, or you will die if he finds out."
Hide, hide, hide! He is not a shady rat! Zhou Haiwen felt aggrieved, but he still nodded reluctantly.
What does Xu Gu do for food? Why did you release that god of plague and come here specifically to ruin his date!
Deduct money!
Hua Cui was adjusting her clothes and looking at the fabric pretending to be relaxed. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Qiming raising his head and walking quickly towards her. He had obviously noticed her.
Her heart was beating wildly, she was just a second away from being discovered!
Her eyes were so vicious, Hua Cui secretly complained. She pretended to be focused on looking at the fabric and didn't notice the people around her, so she turned around and walked slowly back.
It wasn't until a "Cui Cui" came from behind that she couldn't ignore that Hua Cui had to stop. She turned around with a surprised look: "Brother Xiao Ming?"
Zhao Qiming came over with vegetables. Unlike Huacui, he only felt pleasantly surprised, "It turns out it's really you."
He just saw a familiar figure from behind and thought he was dazzled.
"Where's Auntie Nianghua? Why isn't she with you?"
Hua Cui: "Oh, she met an acquaintance on the street. They were chatting, and I just walked around by myself. Why are you here?"
Zhao Qiming smiled: "I'm going out to buy some food for lunch."
Huacui nodded: "Then you can continue shopping for groceries. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go shopping by myself."
"Don't bother me. I've almost bought all the groceries." Zhao Qiming felt that she was being too polite today. They were husband and wife and not just friends, so they couldn't be bothered by anything they were talking about.
He looked at Huacui tenderly: "I bought a crucian carp. Can we have fish for lunch today?"
"I want to eat braised fish!" Hua Cui was surprised.
Zhao Qiming is really a roundworm in her stomach.
"Okay, let's braise it." Zhao Qiming followed her in everything. He remembered that Huacui had been looking at the fabrics for a long time. The fabrics here in the provincial capital were indeed better than those at home. He thought about it and said, "Cui Cui, let's buy it." How many pieces of fabric should I take back?”
"No!"
Perhaps Hua Cui objected too quickly, but Zhao Qiming looked at her strangely: "Don't you like it?"
"Well, it's not that I don't like it, but it's so troublesome to buy fabrics and make clothes myself. I don't want it." Hua Cui made up an excuse at random, and she forced Zhao Qiming's attention back.
What to buy? Zhou Haiwen is still hiding it. What if clues are discovered?
"You're right, buying fabric is troublesome."
Hua Cui breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Qiming's next words made her heart skip a beat.
"It's better to buy ready-made clothes directly. I think there is a ready-made clothes store over there."
Hua Cui looked in the direction of his finger. By coincidence, it was the same store she and Zhou Haiwen had visited before.
"Uh"
Zhao Qiming saw her face was troubled: "What's wrong, do you not like it?" He paused, "Or is there something else?"
"No, what can happen to me?" Hua Cui shook her head bravely, "Just go to that place."
Hua Cui knew that if she continued to refuse, her character would be ruined. Zhao Qiming should have known there was something wrong with this. She was sure that he had not seen Zhou Haiwen's face, but she could not guarantee that Zhao Qiming had not discovered anything.
Maybe he was testing her now.
Zhao Qiming: "Okay." The two of them turned back. The salesperson was impressed by Hua Cui and recognized her at a glance. When he looked at the strange man next to her, he was slightly startled and subconsciously said: "Hey, you just now"
Hua Cui was the first to speak and blocked his mouth: "It's me. I've seen clothes before. If I miss this village, there won't be this store. I decided to buy it anyway."
The salesperson didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he turned sideways and said, "Oh, welcome."
Hua Cui went in and picked out clothes for Li Guifang and Chen Lili. Zhao Qiming frowned slightly: "What about yourself? Don't you have what you want?"
Hua Cui: "Yes." That's strange. I have bought all the ones I like, and Zhou Haiwen is carrying them.
In order to dispel Zhao Qiming's doubts, Hua Cui finally reluctantly picked two acceptable pieces of clothing.
"Okay, that's enough."
Hua Cui held the clothes and handed them to the salesperson to pack. It took a long time before she heard Zhao Qiming's faint "hmm".
The sound was so soft that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
Inexplicably, Hua Cui was a little annoyed. It wasn't that the Shura Field was better than the Shura Field, it was all because of these stinky men!
One of them insisted on dragging her here for a date, and the other insisted on coming here because she couldn't go shopping for groceries! Those who don't know think they are some kind of good brothers who have a good understanding of each other.
Obviously everyone can get along peacefully at different times, Hua Cui rubbed her hands depressedly, now that she is fine, she has to be caught in the middle.
Hua Cui glared at Zhao Qiming fiercely: "What are you looking at! Look at what I am doing! Is there anything written on my face? Go home!"
Zhao Qiming did not ask Hua Zhijing, who was "chatting" with an acquaintance, what to do. He slightly bent his lower lip and replied: "Okay."
Anyway, she's going home now.
You have to go home after all, right?
It was also thrilling. As soon as the two of them walked away, the salesperson selling fabrics couldn't bear it and lifted a corner of the fabric and said, "Comrade! Do you want to buy the fabric or not?"
He had been observing this man for a long time, hiding behind the cloth and not knowing what he was doing!
Zhou Haiwen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was upset when his date was interrupted, and he had to hide behind the cloth in embarrassment and receive strange looks from others.
His tone was irritable: "Why, I don't want to buy it, even if I just look at it?"
The salesperson said with a smile: "Of course, how much longer do you want to see? We are not working 24 hours a day, and we will get off work later."
Zhou Haiwen was too lazy to answer his strange questions. He carefully hid himself while observing Huacui's figures around him. He only came out from behind the cloth after confirming that the two of them were gone.
"Who says I won't buy it? Wrap this, this, and this for me!"
You can take it home and make new clothes for Cuicui, or make them a couple's style!
"Okay." The salesperson secretly pouted, so what if you have money?
He looks so sneaky, he must have caused trouble and is hiding from some shady person. Maybe he is not a good person. He looks glamorous on the surface, but in reality, hehe, he is doing some shady things.
*
When Huacui returned home, Hua Zhijing had not returned yet, and Xu Gu was the only one left at home.
Zhao Qiming said hello, and Xu Guai nodded indifferently. He didn't pay much attention, put down his things, put on his apron and got into the kitchen to get busy.
Hua Cui leaned on the sofa and waited for the meal to be served. She glanced at Xu Gu, who was sitting upright next to her: "Have you prepared a return gift for Brother Xiao Ming's parents?"
This time, Li Guifang, as her mother-in-law, prepared a lot of things when she returned to her "natal family". It stands to reason that Huacui's "natal family" should be willing to return some gifts.
Otherwise it would be too disrespectful.
Xu Gu nodded: "Don't worry, he is careful and has already prepared it. Why don't you take a look again?"
It’s self-evident who this “he” is.
"Forget it, just have it." Hua Cui shook her head, she was too lazy to worry so much.
"Hey, by the way, is there a place here that sells things for children?"
"Child?"
"Hmm." Hua Cui thought of Xiao Cui. The child's fate was not good and he never had a good life after he was born. But luckily she met her and she planned to bring some food back to Xiao Cui.
Xu Gu thought for a while: "Yes, I will take you there?"
"No, just tell me the address."
Xu Guy said the address in words, raised his head, stretched out a hand in front of his eyes, curled his fingers, and he was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Hua Cui smiled and raised her eyes: "Dad, give me some pocket money and I will buy clothes for your granddaughter."
Xu Gu: "..." It's too much to talk about love and hurt your feelings.
Huacui is a little rich woman. She has money herself, and most of Zhao Qiming's money is also entrusted to her for safekeeping. But again, if you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard, and never use your own money if you can spend other people's money.
Xu Gu finally gave Hua Cui what he called "pocket money", and she stuffed it into her pocket with a smile on her face: "Thank you, or you can go to him to reimburse me."
Xu Gu didn't want to see this unfilial daughter.
