Both of them have seen photos of each other, but photos don't feel the same as meeting face-to-face.
Jiang Rui was wearing a red printed short cotton coat, which was lightly tucked at the waist and paired with navy blue trousers, which made her look good and light. On the goose-egg-shaped face, the two eyebrows are curved and thin, like a distant mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, a pair of eyes are like the lake water in the misty winter, and the small lips are dyed vermilion. At first glance, they thought they were red berries in the mountains. son.
Zhao Nan is dressed in military uniforms, and he is strong and straight.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and Jiang Rui took the lead in turning her head and staring at her feet.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't have so many scruples anymore. As he walked away, he looked at her carelessly, and even spoke in her ear.
"He's tall, much taller than your brother. The soldier is different. Look at his chest and waist, and he is full of energy from head to toe."
When she got closer, she could see more clearly, and she added, "She looks good too. A few years ago, the girls on our team said that Han Wenke was good-looking and had a bookish air, but I thought it was too weak to look at him. Now, it's still masculine and tough like this, and it's masculine. You little girls don't understand, but when you get married, you know whether it's good or bad."
Hearing what she meant, Jiang Rui was slightly embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, stop talking."
"What's wrong, you're still shy." Zhang Xiaohua giggled.
As we got closer, Zhao Nan was the only one waiting for the bus by the roadside. Zhang Xiaohua took Jiang Rui's hand and walked over, "Is it Zhao Nan? This is our Baoqin, and I'm Baoqin's sister-in-law."
"Hello." Zhao Nan nodded to Zhang Xiaohua, looked at Jiang Rui, and said with a straight face, "Hello, I'm Zhao Nan."
Jiang Rui gave him a quick glance and whispered, "I'm Du Baoqin."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiaohua snorted and laughed while covering his mouth.
Jiang Rui looked at her strangely.
Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand, especially with a smile, "Don't worry about me, I just think you two are too good, just like children, hello, who am I, like the two little dolls we met on the first day, just about to Meet new friends."
"Sister-in-law..." Jiang Rui pulled Zhang Xiaohua's sleeve and quietly looked at Zhao Nan, only to find that he was also looking at her, and immediately turned her eyes away, her face slightly hot.
I was relieved.
If she wants to restore Zhao Nan's soul, she must get close to him and use the spiritual energy around her to nourish him, or like the previous photos, export the spiritual energy from the body and store it on the object, but this method can't last long.
The best way is to become someone close to him, to be in constant contact, to be subtle, and to moisten things silently. Originally, she wanted to be his comrade-in-arms, but she couldn't find a suitable body, so she found Du Baoqin later.
Now it seems that this approach is still effective, Zhao Nan should have a good impression of her.
Zhang Xiaohua saw the small movements of the two, and just laughed, making Jiang Rui embarrassed, and then said: "Don't be so restrained, Anan... Can I call you that?" Seeing Zhao Nan nodded, he continued: "I heard that you were only yesterday. How did you get home? How long did it take to get there?"
"Forty hours by train."
Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise: "Yo, that's not close, it's been a hard journey, right?"
"No." Zhao Nan said.
"Looking at your physique, you can endure hardship," Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Like our Baoqin, don't look at her fair-faced and weak, in fact, she is not squeamish at all, our housework is She made them all, and she took care of all the rabbits. She is capable and diligent. Although I am her sister-in-law, I am not half as good as her. She just doesn't talk much, she can't say pretty words to make people happy, and people are the most well-behaved of."
Seeing that she said a bunch of things, Jiang Rui didn't stop it either. She blushed after boasting, so she could only whisper, "How can my sister-in-law say that..."
"You stupid girl," Zhang Xiaohua patted her hand lightly, but looked at Zhao Nan, obviously speaking to him, "sister-in-law is telling the truth, what's wrong with letting Anan listen? Say yes?"
Zhao Nan nodded earnestly, without the slightest perfunctory, "Yes."
The two of them are not talkative people in the first place. When they met for the first time today, they were somewhat restrained, and their words were even less. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua was able to speak well, and he smiled as soon as he opened his mouth, which did not let the scene cool down.
Gradually, a few more people came, and the three stopped talking and waited a few steps away by the roadside.
Not long after the car came, Zhao Nan bought three tickets and gave two to Zhang Xiaohua.
"It's going to cost you money." Zhang Xiaohua smiled politely and didn't do much to shirk.
When the two of them got into the car, Zhao Nan got up. When he was at home, Zhang Liyun told him back and forth many times. When he went out to meet the girl's house, if he wanted to make a good impression on the other party, he had to be proactive and thoughtful. If you don't say anything, then you should be diligent in your hands and feet, and be generous in your actions. Always let the other party see something good.
He just listened to it before, his left ear went in and his right came out. Now that he saw the real person, he realized that the closeness to the photo was not an illusion, and even the real person wanted to be closer than the photo. So he started struggling to remember what his mother said.
When the car arrives at the county seat, it is neither too early nor too late. If you have lunch at this time, it is too early. If you want to go to the park with someone, it will be too cold in the winter. As for watching a movie, no one will go there in the morning.
The three were walking on the street, Zhang Xiaohua and Jiang Rui were holding hands, and Zhao Nan followed. The three of them are all young people, Zhao Nan is dressed in military uniform, Jiang Rui is brightly dressed and looks beautiful, Zhang Xiaohua is not bad, walking together, often attracting attention. It's just that the scenery is scenery, but the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month is not so pleasant. You should always find a place to stay.
As the end of the year approached, the shops on both sides were much busier than before. Zhang Xiaohua wanted to go shopping in the shops, but it was not up to her to say this, for fear of being misunderstood by the man and thinking that the woman was taking advantage of him. Although I knew that a wealthy family like the Zhao family should not be so stingy and sensitive, but the first time they met, both parties were trying to figure out the bottom line, so they had to be cautious.
Fortunately, when Zhao Nan saw the Yang'an Department Store in front of him, he finally remembered what Zhang Liyun had said and said to them, "Go to the supply and marketing agency?"
Jiang Rui naturally agreed.
The supply and marketing cooperative is full of people, and after working hard for a year, at the end of the year, no matter whether there is a balance or not, you should always treat yourself well. The counter was crowded with people holding money and various tickets, and piles of New Year's goods moved home without money.
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. The Du family also bought some things, but they couldn't compare to the people in front of them. Besides, although the commune issued a few tickets, some of them were in short supply, such as sugar. Most of these people with votes are factory workers.
Jiang Rui and Zhang Xiaohua just came in to watch the fun and pass the time. They couldn't afford it themselves, but they felt a sense of satisfaction looking at the variety of goods on the counter.
On the first floor are cigarettes, candies, cakes and other non-staple foods, on the second floor are all kinds of cloth, wool, and ready-to-wear, and on the third floor are some large pieces of furniture.
Zhang Xiaohua circled around a 12-inch black-and-white TV, carefully looked at the price marked under his eyes, and looked back at Jiang Rui. The two of them covered their mouths at the same time and ran away with a smile.
At that price, they may not be able to buy rabbit hair for a lifetime, which is simply scary!
Zhao Nan was right behind the two of them. Seeing them run down the second floor, he didn't stop, and was about to go to the first floor, so he asked, "Do you want to buy something?"
Jiang Rui stopped and shook her head gently, "Just take a look."
Zhang Xiaohua asked with a smile, "Are you going to buy something for your family? We can refer to it for you."
Zhao Nan nodded and said yes, and the three of them went shopping on the second floor. After looking around, he saw a few women's wool scarves. According to the salesperson, they were fashionable from the south, and every girl in a big city had one. The thin scarf is soft and warm to the touch, much warmer than the one woven with wool, and it takes several pieces per piece.
Zhao Nan bought seven at once and spent dozens of dollars. Not only Zhang Xiaohua and Jiang Rui were startled, but even the salesperson was startled.
Zhang Xiaohua guessed a little bit and joked: "Anan buys so much, is it possible that he plans to change his career and sell scarves?"
On the first floor, Zhao Nan bought another pack of fruit candies and a pack of toffee, and then he proposed to have lunch together.
There is only one state-run restaurant in Yang'an County. Now, there are many people in the restaurant. The three of them found a table and sat down. Zhao Nan asked them what they liked to eat.
The menu was written on the wall. Jiang Rui chose a stir-fried canola, Zhang Xiaohua ordered radish and pork ribs soup, Zhao Nan got up and went to the window to pay for the ticket, and then sent the ticket to the back kitchen.
When he was far away, Zhang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Rui: "Looking at the way he spent money just now, I was really taken aback. How long does it take people to think about buying a scarf? He bought seven at once. Yes, he bought them in packs. Fortunately, I kept it under control and didn't show too much surprise, otherwise he would make me a scumbag."
Jiang Rui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is not dirty at all. You are the one who can calm down the scene in our family the most."
"I like to hear this. You tell me, you smile so good at me, what's the use of wearing such a high hat? You also smile at others. My sister-in-law tells you, don't look at how big he was spending money just now. , most of them want to show off in front of you and show it to you. How many people do they need to buy seven ladies scarves? There must be your share in it. Oh, my little sister-in-law is amazing, and only one meeting will make people fascinated. I have to think hard to please you."
Jiang Rui pursed the corners of her mouth and said softly, "sister-in-law, please be quiet, so that people will hear you, and you will be embarrassed with me."
"You're still making fun of me?" Zhang Xiaohua raised his eyebrows, "I just said that you don't talk much in front of others, you're not a quick talker, and now you're talking about yourself, what's wrong with you, it's better to keep your mouth shut. !"
Jiang Rui smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Xiaohua saw it in his eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that this little sister-in-law was not simple.
In the past, she only looked at her working hard, not fighting or robbing, and it seemed like she would suffer at a glance. It was the first time I saw someone today, and if it was a normal little girl, I would be shy and panic. But her little sister-in-law looked ashamed, but she didn't panic at all. Now the smile on the corner of his mouth is clearly calm and easy.
She thought about that Zhao Nan again, although she didn't talk much, she couldn't control her eyes when she saw the sister-in-law, and glanced at her, just now with such a positive performance, everyone could see that he was already interested. But she couldn't see what Baoqin was thinking.
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help thinking to himself: Maybe everyone has taken a wrong look. In this Du family, Baoqin is the one who can hide the most.
