"Let's go! I'll buy you some leather shoes." Ningxia felt embarrassed.
"I don't want leather shoes. They're uncomfortable." Ren Jingxiao doesn't like wearing leather shoes. Xia Xia bought him a pair before, but he thought they were too hard.
"I know that's uncomfortable. You will definitely have to interact with other people in the future, so you should always dress appropriately." Ren Jingxiao was wearing cloth shoes that she had made herself.
"Okay, just buy one pair. I have another pair at home." Ren Jingxiao thought about it and it didn't matter whether he liked it or not. Others only looked at the bright and beautiful appearance.
"What color do you like? If you like...never mind, I'll buy it for you." Ningxia thought it would be better not to ask, since he liked everything she liked.
"Just buy it if you like it." Ren Jingxiao didn't care. As long as Xia Xia liked it, that was enough.
You can only know whether the shoes fit you by trying them on yourself, but Ren Jingxiao’s only requirement is that she likes them.
Ningxia didn't want to say more. She chose a pair of simple shoes with good-looking leather according to her own taste.
"Try this pair and see if they are comfortable." Ningxia chose a pair and gave it to Ren Jingxiao to try.
"It fits." Ren Jingxiao tried it on and felt that the size was right. Leather shoes are usually stiff and uncomfortable anyway.
The salesperson didn't seem impatient. Seeing how many bags they were carrying, they didn't look like they couldn't afford it.
"Then this pair." The two paid and left the department store.
"Do you want to go for a walk again? We have to go back tomorrow, and there are still many places we haven't visited!" Ren Jingxiao took Ningxia to the guesthouse.
"Go back and rest. We still have several days of driving ahead of us, so we need to recharge our batteries." There's nothing fun to do in Shanghai right now.
And she also missed her two children, so she wanted to go back early.
It’s inconvenient everywhere now, and I’m not used to the food and accommodation. The main purpose of coming here to Ningxia is to buy a house.
She wanted to buy a few more houses before the 1980s came, and this time she was just trying out the options.
"Okay, I'll go change the locks tomorrow morning and tell the old man, and then we'll go back."
Ren Jingxiao thought that he could just go and change the lock himself without letting Ningxia go with him.
The next morning, Ren Jingxiao went to the Ju family alone, and the Ju couple were waiting for him.
He kept his word and kept all his furniture except for his personal belongings.
After changing the lock, Ren Jingxiao took his things and went to the old man's house to say hello to him, asked him to help look after the house, and left him his phone number.
The old man nodded in agreement. Not only did he know the place very well, but he was also the one who facilitated the purchase of this house, so of course he agreed to help look after it.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of it for you. The people living here are all acquaintances, and they're all very friendly. There aren't any bad people with bad intentions."
The old man didn't ask them where they were from or why they didn't live here.
When they reach their position, they have seen many people and are capable.
People don't lack the money. Maybe they just want to buy a house while doing business.
It was really surprising how straightforward Ningxia was yesterday. He just carried the money and bought it as if it was not a few thousand yuan but a few cents.
When Ren Jingxiao returned to the guesthouse, Ningxia was packing up and had placed many things in the space.
Just put the lightweight items in your backpack. You can’t be completely empty-handed. You have to have an explanation for suddenly taking out so many things when you get home.
"Are you done?" Ningxia had almost finished packing and was about to go buy some breakfast.
When I saw Ren Jingxiao holding soy milk and buns, I knew they were definitely for her.
"I've told the old man that the people in the Ju family aren't up to any tricks. I bought you some breakfast. Shall we go back after we finish eating?"
Ren Jingxiao felt that the people in the Ju family would regret it, even if Xia Xia didn't tell him what would happen there in the future.
It is said that this is a major feature of Shanghai, and as long as you go out and mention that row of houses, everyone will know about it.
Isn't this house better than the family compound? The Ju family only cares about money, and they won't be able to buy back the house even if they have money in the future.
"Okay, I'll come back and have a look after a while." Ningxia was very relieved. Even if the Ju family regretted it, they would not be able to get the house back, and the land was hers.
And to put it bluntly, the old couple of the Ju family don’t have many years left to live, so they have no right to ask for the house.
After dinner, the two checked out of the hotel and called a rickshaw to go to the train station.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Suyun, who passed by Ningxia and the others, was stunned. She hurriedly got out of the car and looked over.
The person disappeared in just one turn, and she thought she was dazzled.
"Minister Zhang, what's wrong?" The driver hurried down and asked respectfully.
"It's okay, I was mistaken." Zhang Suyun was very disappointed. She thought they were coming to find her.
She knew that they were living a good life now and recognized that man as their father. It was ridiculous that they were not able to be together when they were young, but now her daughter called that man dad.
They were a family, but they excluded her.
"Minister Zhang, Sixia is waiting for you at home. She's been looking forward to celebrating with you ever since she got into university. Now that she's finally free, let's go back quickly."
The driver looked at Zhang Suyun and urged calmly.
"Let's go back!" Zhang Suyun finally smiled when she thought of her goddaughter Zhang Sixia.
She was very considerate and respectful to her, and she no longer took the disappointment in her heart seriously.
Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao had no idea that they almost met Zhang Suyun. They got on the train shortly after arriving at the train station.
Compared to other places, the train between Shanghai and Beijing is the most convenient, and there are several locations.
"Xia Xia, there are only hard seat tickets left. Let's take a rest first and wait to see if there is a transfer. We can then buy a sleeper ticket instead." Ren Jingxiao thought that even if he didn't leave today, it would be the same tomorrow.
It's the Chinese New Year and many people are returning to the city after taking the college entrance examination. Other places are okay, but the bigger the city, the more crowded it is.
They had someone help them get the tickets in Beijing at the beginning, so now they can only buy hard seats.
"It's okay. This place doesn't go directly to Beijing. There must be a lot of people getting off along the way." Ningxia couldn't help but think of the Spring Festival travel rush in later generations, which was even more frightening.
Xia Xia didn't mind, but Ren Jingxiao couldn't stand it anymore. Compared with the sleeper compartment, this place was like snatching things from the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are all kinds of people, bringing all kinds of things, it’s crowded and the smell is unpleasant.
"Brother, please squeeze over there. I brought a lot of eggs. Please don't crush them."
"Hey, I'm sitting in my own seat, I'm not taking up your space."
"Auntie, can you please not take off your shoes? You haven't washed your feet in years, can't you smell it?"
"What's wrong with my feet? These are working people's feet."
Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia: "..."
