"It's so boring." Qianmai was so bored that she pressed the TV remote control and kept changing channels back and forth.
In the past two days, she has stayed with the Yang family's grandparents. The two elders were also indulgent in their words, and they almost raised her as a pig. They kept buying vegetables and cooking for her, and stuffed them with countless fruit snacks.
Today, the old people went to the countryside on the outskirts of the city to rush to the wedding banquet of a distant cousin, leaving her to rest at home alone.
During the summer vacation, Qianmai wears the stars and the moon every day, busy like a spinning top. Now that I suddenly become free, I really feel something is wrong with my whole body.
The probe looked at the sky outside. The sun is not too big today and the weather is not very hot. So he carried his bag on his back and decided to go for a walk.
Along the street, walking and looking, Qianmai first turned to the Xinhua Bookstore. After a lot of selection and comparison, I bought several books on flowers and plants for Qian Xiaomo, and also bought several flute practice scores for Qian Xiaohai's grading test. In the second half of the year, they will also enter the graduating class, and it is time to prepare for the examination. In Jintian, if a hobby has passed the professional grade examination, then 80% of the scores in the entrance examination will be the same, and the school will select the best students with specialties, which is called "all-round development."
Of course, Qianmai did not forget to choose a few suitable reference books and essay selections for Nanjiang's old classmates. During the summer vacation, she sorted out the knowledge points of various subjects according to the textbook system. I also explained and analyzed many excellent essays, and also taught some of my own writing experience. Next, they will have to read more, write more and practice more on their own.
After the business is done, there is nothing to do, and the rest of the time is of course shopping on the road.
Qianmai doesn't know why she likes shopping so much. Anyway, if you have money, you can go shopping; you can go shopping if you don't. In her opinion, shopping is the most suitable sport for women. Keep your head down, look far and close, walk slowly, raise your hands and let go. Basically, other people will not pay attention to you except lying down or on the ground. This is enough space for freedom.
Qian Mai shook his ponytail, stopped at the entrance of a jewelry store, leaned over and picked at the recommended stalls, and was full of interest. Suddenly, a pair of slender and powerful hands fell on her shoulders.
After being frightened, he looked back abruptly. At first glance, it's really nowhere in life to meet.
It seems that my own "spatial freedom theory" is not systematically complete. At the very least, it missed one point, that is, it is necessary to rule out acquaintances on the street. But is it possible? The shopping feature of the small town is not that it takes a long time to just say hello to go shopping in one day.
Peng Chen is also very boring today. He was so boring that he was a big boy who knew nothing about it, and wandered around Zhongshan Street.
The last summer vacation with absolute freedom was completely lost because of his father's sudden return to China. This month, he has followed his father to patrol N stores, and listened to N other boring talks that made people want to doze off. No, when Huayang stopped, he sneaked out with a camera while his father was visiting friends.
Because time is too tight, he can only choose "street shooting" nearby. Unexpectedly, on the busiest Zhongshan Street in Huayang, a familiar figure broke into the camera.
"Why are you here?" the two asked in unison.
If one sentence fails, come to the second sentence.
"What a coincidence!" He said in unison.
Really bullshit. The two couldn't help but feel strange at the same words, and smiled at each other.
"I'm shopping again, what did I see this time?" Peng Chen looked at Qian Mai, and his eyes probed the small object she was holding in her hand. It is a colorful national style Acacia bean earrings. The processed acacia bean is exquisite and lovely, and it is bright and red. In addition, it is purely handmade, which can not help but add a simple taste, but it is not lost in style.
"It's nothing, just stroll around." Qianmai replied casually and put back the eardrop in his hand. Turning around, I haven't seen you one summer vacation, and the person in front of me seems to have grown taller again. But the pimples on his face got worse and worse, as if there was a prairie fire. The gong-like drake voice is still the same. Can not help but secretly, this boy's adolescence can be really long.
It is a joy to meet old friends in another country, but after being happy, how to get along is a problem.
"Where are you going next?" It actually coincided.
Both of them are full of incredible faces, dare to believe that everyone is a repeater today.
Still Qianmai opened his mouth first: "I'll go shopping for a while." The implication is: Whatever you want.
But at this time someone seemed to be lacking and blunt: "Let's go together, anyway, you are also alone."
Hearing what he said was "yes", Qianmai looked around suspiciously. Sure enough, no other two tall guys were found. I'm used to seeing the three of them stay in focus, and Meng is not in focus, but it is quite uncomfortable to see only one person.
"Where are Shen Zhou and Zhu Shoubin?"
"Shen Zhou went to visit relatives in the UK, Zhu Shoubin was escorted by the teacher to the summer camp." If it weren't for their defections, he wouldn't have stayed at home alone, and his father had captured Hanging.
Quack, it turned out to be a lonely lone geese. "Well, let's go shopping together." Anyway, the street is not opened by my house.
This time, Qianmai was very kind, did not continue to visit the clothing store, and spontaneously turned around and walked towards the nearby Hualian Supermarket. Peng Chen followed tacitly, and while walking with his camera fiddled with aiming. From time to time, there was a "click" around him, and I didn't know what was taken. The big black professional camera, Latent Wheat knows no matter how ignorant it is, it is of great value.
Along the way, passing the traffic lights, and crossing two intersections, neither of them spoke again.
Suddenly, the Qianmai who was looking around slowly stopped, looking up and thinking.
"What's wrong? What's so good on it?" At some point, Peng Chen looked away from the camera and looked up.
"The billboard is beautifully done, and the LOGO is very attractive." Qianmai pointed his finger at the large light box billboard erected on the top floor of Hualian Supermarket. The beautiful colors and pictures were shining in the sun. Presumably, adding lights at night will become more colorful.
"It's okay. Do you like it? I'll take it for you."
Before Qian Mai answered, a few flashes of "chacha" came from around him.
Walking into the supermarket, a burst of coolness pounced on her face. It's working time now, and relatively few people do shopping and checkout. But this doesn't mean that the supermarket is not good, on the contrary, it is bustling with people.
It was summer vacation, and it was no surprise that there were more children chatting and running wildly. The book block stood side by side. In front of the shelf of reference books and masterpieces, students selected and discussed works in groups. Nearby, there are more children sitting on the floor, looking at the fairy tale book with relish.
After entering the door, put the camera, and pulled a trolley, Peng Chen began to put things in it non-stop. Pens, pencils, ballpoint pens, football, basketball, tennis, boxing gloves...
Seeing his panic buying behavior as if he didn't need money, Qianmai looked incredible: "Buy so much?"
"Isn't coming to the supermarket just to buy things? Anyway, I have to buy them again after school starts. How about I want to try what Huayang bought?" Peng Chen looked righteous and continued to throw things inside.
Hey, then you can take two big bags of things and learn how to go. I will never reach out for help.
"Why don't you buy it?" Someone also realized afterwards.
"My family runs a supermarket." By implication, how can this money be earned by others
"Your family runs a supermarket? That's good. When I was a child, I envied the classmates who opened a supermarket at home. There are endless snacks and endless toys. When new things come out, they are the first to know. Even the collection of "Little Raccoon Logo" is the first one he has collected..."
Hey, there is no movement on the surface of the latent wheat, but the stomach is laughing, so how many packets of crispy noodles does he have to eat? Poor baby. However, it seems that Peng Chen talks a lot today.
"Oh... oh..." After talking about a long list, Peng Chen suddenly realized: "No wonder you paid special attention to the supermarket billboards just now. What is your billboard? Ah... Then your current behavior is not to spy on the enemy?"
Qian Mai is holding back a smile and has a distorted expression on his face. You are acting as a TV show. However, she answered honestly: "My supermarket hasn't opened yet. I wanted to open it before school starts, but there are too many things to buy. Now it seems that even if it opens during the National Day, it will have to be rushed. Hurry up."
"Have you not purchased the billboards, shelves, freezers, and monitors yet?" No wonder, after entering the door, her eyes kept floating on these things.
“The billboards were made during the house decoration. Nothing else is available yet, and the suppliers have to be found again. Most of the Jintian and Huayang areas are downstream suppliers.” Qianmai took a closer look at Hualian Supermarket. The price of the goods, while quietly answering.
After hearing this, Peng Chen stopped choosing something. He then looked up at the things in Qianmai's hands and asked, "What is your supermarket's name? What slogan is written on the billboard?"
"We are a small business, unlike Hualian Supermarket which has systematic VI and CI. The name is only "Qianjia Department Store Supermarket", and the slogan is "Distant relatives are not as good as neighbors." How about?"
Qian Mai turned his head and asked Peng Chen. The county people were very knowledgeable, and they often traveled to the north and south, so it was right to listen to their opinions.
"Why use this?" Peng Chen asked instead.
"My family has been running a grocery store for nearly 30 years, and it is an indispensable old neighbor to the people in the village. Furthermore, my family is adjacent to a school. For students who live away from home, I think this sentence The words are also very appropriate."
"Yeah. Go to the second floor. If you want to observe, you must observe more comprehensively." Peng Chen suggested, Qianmai readily agreed.
Along the escalator up to the second floor of Hualian Supermarket, the newly decorated and light-reflecting environment is faintly filled with the fragrance of various cosmetics. The space is lined with a dazzling array of daily necessities. A number of exquisite advertisements with both pictures and texts were also hung.
"Peng Chen,'Distant relatives are not as good as neighbors' translated into English, what should I say?"
Seeing the intricately arranged and varied English letters on the advertising pictures, Qian Mai suddenly remembered that when designing advertising pictures for her own home in the future, she can also try to add English letters on them, and the effect will definitely become more beautiful and fashionable.
"Eh?" Peng Chen was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "A near neighbour means more than a distant relative."
Hearing this, Qianmai couldn't help but luck: "Fortunately, there was no written on the billboard. I thought it was A distant relative is not as helpful as a near neighbour. Because of uncertainty, I didn't dare to write it at the beginning."
"That's okay, the translated answer is not the only one."
"Thank you." Qianmai thanked sincerely.
"Don't be so polite." Peng Chen was suddenly depressed.
The accent in the words was suddenly emphasized, making Qian Mai stunned. I am very puzzled, but if you thank you, there is something wrong.
"Among the boys in the class, you seem to be rude to Liu Feipeng."
"We are very familiar and others are also very easy-going. Talking to each other is very casual." What Qianmai said is the truth.
"I am also very casual..." This is the first time you call me by name. Peng Chen muttered softly. Unexpectedly, he was heard by the tip of the ear.
Qianmai couldn't laugh or cry suddenly, and said to his heart: "Master, what are you so casual?" But as a knowledgeable, well-mannered and polite "three-have woman", Qianmai was very kind and naturally suppressed his laugh, and pointed. Pointing to the clothing area on the opposite side, he said, "Look over there. Their storefront wall design and lighting design are great."
"Do small supermarkets also sell clothing?"
"My small supermarket is located on the second floor. The first floor is temporarily rented to others to open pharmacies and clothing stores. After the rent is returned, we can purchase large pieces of equipment. I will look at it first and go back and tell them for reference. It's easy." Qianmai explained Tao.
"Then I'll take it back for you." Without saying a word, Peng Chen took out the camera and it flashed violently.
Qian Mai instinctively wanted to thank him, but when he remembered the conversation just now, he swallowed the kind words that came to his mouth automatically.
Xu was the flash and the sound that alarmed others. Soon, two security guards in dark blue uniforms and big caps strode towards this side.
Hidden Wheat found it, and nervously tossed Peng Chen, who was pressing the shutter madly around, and stammered: "Will they... smash your camera." It's so expensive, I can't afford it.
Peng Chen quickly put away the camera. When he turned around, the security guards had already whirled in front of them in a gust of wind.
"What are you doing for taking pictures?" The security guards spoke in Japanese style, condescendingly torturing.
The two confronting each other did not show weakness, stared back boldly and took a few photos. Let's not lose. Qianmai pondered it, and was about to take a step forward to speak, but was blocked by Peng Chen's outstretched arm.
"We are reporters from the "Huayang Middle School. School News". We are preparing to do a special topic of'Tasty and Fun, All in One Net' after the beginning of school, so we came here to get some materials. I have a question and would like to ask both of you." Peng Chen took out a notebook and pen from his backpack, looking respectfully preparing to make a transcript.
"So, keep your voice down and don't affect others." The security guards were relieved, just two ordinary students. Huayang Middle School is a century-old school. The students in it are rich if they are not expensive, and they have super purchasing power. It is definitely a good thing to have free publicity advertisements delivered to the door.
"Your shelf is very special, it can guide the students to start the dialogue of'power and beauty'. Where did you customize it?" reporter Peng Chen asked.
Security Uncle A immediately came to the spirit: "You can ask the right person. I am an old Hualian employee. I have been working here since the day the supermarket opened. The latest batch of shelves, but from the "hardware" "The capital of Yongkang" is specially ordered. Last year, I took someone to inspect the goods."
"It must be very hard for you to drive to such a far place. Can you tell me which factory did it?" Peng Chen asked tirelessly with his writing.
"It's not far, not far. It's not hard at all." Security Uncle A frequently shook his hand: "It takes three hours to drive from Huayang. Drive along Yingbin Avenue to the end and reach the industrial park on the outskirts of the city. Just ask the ABC factory. Up."
"Thank you so much. Let's go to a few more supermarkets and go back to make a comprehensive list. If we pass the examination, we will definitely put Hualian Supermarket in the first place and focus on the introduction."
Reporter Peng Chen vowed to finish speaking, then pulled up Qianmai and walked downstairs. Behind him came the greeting of the uncle security, "It's easy to leave, not to send".
Until they ran out a street, the two couldn't help but laugh out loud. Unscrupulous and proud laughter made the pedestrians on the street look back and pay attention.
Finally, Peng Chen pinched his chin with the three fingers of his right hand and meditated for a while: "Are you still in Huayang tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Qianmai nodded and said yes.
"Then you come out to play tomorrow, I will show you the photos. By the way, my dad, he should have a friend who runs a supermarket. See if you can find a good upstream supplier, maybe you can get a quotation. Oh." Peng Chen increased his bargaining chip.
Cut, you know you won't be so passionate for no reason. However, it's so exciting. Therefore, the gentleman Qianmai said: "Deal!"
Immediately afterwards, Peng Chen hurriedly said: "A word is determined!" (To be continued, if you want to know what is going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
