Chapter 176: I see you are surprised
Although half of Yu Chuyue's face was covered by the scarf, Yu Zhile still noticed the change in her expression.
It was obvious that their relationship had made great progress without her noticing.
"Okay, it's none of your business." Yu Zhile followed Yu Chuyue's words.
Yu Chuyue met her teasing gaze and added weakly, "Okay, only now, maybe in the future."
Yu Zhile chuckled and did not continue the topic.
All the people were present, and the three cars were fully occupied. As soon as the doors were closed, they set off one after another.
"Well, Jingshi and Haixian are indeed quite different." Zhang Wenxin sat by the window, holding up his chin and looking out. "Even the grass on the roadside is a few centimeters shorter."
Last time she was not in good condition and could not muster the energy to pay attention to the environment on the way to the military area. Now she was very interested and wanted to see enough.
"It's colder here. Today is colder than yesterday." Yu Chuyue felt the cold penetrate into her bones and unconsciously tightened her coat.
Yu Zhile held Yu Chi and sat in the passenger seat, while Sheng Lanyue sat on the other side of the back seat near the window. The two of them also joined the chat.
Sheng Lanyue had been in Beijing for more than five months and knew the city quite well. She introduced them to some of the iconic buildings and famous restaurants here.
As a local born and raised here, Zhou Yuesheng would also add some background stories or customs. Although his narration was plain and straightforward, the stories that had accumulated over the years still added a sense of time to the buildings, which fascinated the audience.
The atmosphere in the car was lively and time passed quickly. They were the first group of people to arrive at the department store.
But their luck was not good, as they witnessed a conflict as soon as they got off the car.
In front of the door, a brightly dressed young man was pushing another thin and dark man.
"Who told you to squat at the door? Is this the place for you to squat?" the young man kept yelling, "What's wrong with me pushing you? My last name is He, do you know who my father is?"
The skinny monkey was just rescued from prison not long ago. He didn't want to go back to jail again, so he had no intention of getting entangled with him and planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the young man refused to give in. He grabbed his collar and asked, "How many days have you been squatting here? What is your intention? Do you know that I can report you?"
The skinny monkey was a head shorter than him, and when he was lifted like that, he couldn't help but stand on tiptoe.
He moved so violently that a palm-sized piece of paper slipped out of his pocket and fell lightly to the ground.
"Tell me! Are you an enemy spy?" Xiao He's eyes rolled around, and he became excited as he thought of something. "Are you squatting here to pass on information? Who is your contact?"
What was unexpected was that in the next second the skinny monkey's eyes rolled back and his body became limp.
The sudden change made Yu Zhile and others who were about to step forward to stop it stop.
On the other side, Xiao He was dumbfounded. He was used to seeing his grandmother blackmailing others, but he never thought that one day she would be blackmailed by someone else. He quickly let go and looked around in panic.
It was during rush hour and there were not many people on the street. Only Yu Zhile and his group were paying attention to this farce.
After Xiao He threw the man away, he rushed to them and threatened them viciously: "He is blackmailing you. You are not allowed to talk nonsense to others, otherwise my dad will make you drink a pot of wine with just a flick of his finger."
After saying this, he stuck out his neck to pretend to be dignified, and maintained this posture for a while before running away.
"Uh, is there something wrong with his brain?" Zhang Wenxin's mouth twitched twice, "Which cadre can raise a son like this?"
Zhou Yuesheng was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Deputy Commander He's home."
"Ah?" Surprised sounds came one after another.
Everyone present knew Deputy Captain He, and they also knew about the conflict between him and Yu Haiguang.
Zhou Yuesheng nodded and gave an affirmative answer again.
He and Xiao He had met once, and Deputy Head He had advised the other party to learn more from him, but Xiao He did not recognize him this time.
"He has learned 100% of the art of bullying others by taking advantage of his power," Yu Zhile commented.
Everyone agreed and nodded.
Xiao He had already run away. They stopped paying attention to him and turned to check on Shouhou.
Before the few people came closer, the skinny monkey suddenly did a somersault, landed steadily on the ground, bent down to pick up the stepped on paper, spat and cursed under his breath.
"Wow, what a great acting." Zhang Wenxin exclaimed.
The skinny monkey raised his head, squinted his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he started dancing.
The piece of paper slipped out of his pocket again and floated to Yu Zhile's feet, but they could only see the messy lines.
Yu Zhile remembered what Xiaobao had said at the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago, held his hand tightly, and looked at the skinny monkey warily.
Zhou Yuesheng stared at the note with a frown on his face, feeling it was familiar.
"Le Le, Wen Xin, Chu Yue." Hu Shuang and Li Yun's shouts diverted the attention of the three sisters.
Yu Haiguang's car followed and Yu Wanqin waved to them.
When they looked back, the skinny monkey had already run away, leaving them with only a piece of his clothes. Yu Zhile had no choice but to treat it as an insignificant episode.
A large group of people walked into the department store, attracting the attention of the sales clerks at various counters.
Li Yun knew the layout of this shopping mall very well and took them straight to the clothing section on the third floor.
Zhou Yuesheng and Qin Yunbai lagged behind them by a few steps and spoke to each other in low voices.
Stepping onto the third floor, people who were visiting this department store for the first time exclaimed in unison, and Lan Yuanyuan's excitement was beyond words.
The entire floor was connected, with only three counters at a glance. The east, south and west walls were hung with ready-made clothes, scarves, hats, and various kinds of cloth, and the north wall was filled with shoe boxes, which was a particularly spectacular scene. "You can't try them on. Tell me when you decide to buy them." The salesperson closest to them said lazily.
When she saw the clothes they were wearing, her eyes lit up and she asked where they could have them custom-made.
Jingshi Department Store gathers the latest goods from all over the country, and almost every fashion trend is started here. She has worked here for several years and can judge the market potential of a clothing style with just one glance.
She vaguely felt that once this style was launched on the market, corduroy would regain everyone's enthusiasm for tweed fabrics.
"They are all made casually by the garment-making sideline group in our village." Yu Wanqin replied with a smile.
Lan Yuanyuan looked at her and understood what she was thinking, and winked at her.
When the salesperson heard her mention the countryside, he did not look down on her and continued to ask questions, and each question was very professional.
Yu Wanqin and Lan Yuanyuan were also not weak. Although the clothing-making group in Haiyu Village was established not long ago, they had learned about the relevant information before and answered fluently.
"Let's go take a look at the shoes." Yu Zhile took the others away to leave them space.
Li Yun looked back at the three people who were chatting animatedly, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Your Haiyu Village will definitely become a well-known wealthy village in Jiang Province within two years."
"That's right." Zhang Wenxin responded proudly.
The salespersons at the shoe counter were more enthusiastic, telling them to just tell them if they liked a style and to buy it only if they were satisfied after trying it on.
Li Yun ordered five pairs of new leather shoes in one go, sat on a small stool and started trying them on with ease.
Yu Chuyue and Zhang Wenxin brought enough money with them before going out, and also asked for the styles they liked to try on.
"Sister, how is it? I look good in leather shoes, right?" Chen Zhao also tried it.
However, there is a huge gap between imagination and reality. His temperament is particularly incompatible with the shiny leather shoes. No matter what style he wears, he looks like a child wearing adult clothes.
Zhang Wenxin laughed out loud after hearing Yu Zhile's description and joked, "You deal with marine fish every day, why would you buy leather shoes?"
"What's the matter? The aunties in the group praised me so much." Chen Zhao hummed.
A provocative remark interrupted their daily bickering for no reason.
The visitor sneered and laughed: "Chen Zhao, we thought you were doing something important in the country, but it turns out you were going to kill fish. If you had told me earlier that you had this skill, I would have asked my dad to arrange a job for you to kill pigs in the slaughterhouse."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke the originally cheerful atmosphere.
"That's right. Working in a slaughterhouse in Beijing wearing leather shoes is more upscale than killing fish in the village. Maybe there will be more people watching." Someone echoed.
Yu Zhile turned around and saw exactly ten people, men and women.
"Chu Yue, do you smell anything bad?" Zhang Wenxin fanned the air in front of her pretentiously, "Why do I hear a buzzing sound? It sounds like red-headed flies in the toilet."
Yu Chuyue raised her eyebrows in cooperation.
The way the two cursed without using any curse words reminded the group of people of some bad memories, and they were all so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
Chen Zhao didn't give them a chance to react. He launched into a whole new series of moves, leaving them unable to defend themselves. The words they came up with to fight back during the review were stuck in their throats.
"How about my last proposal? If you can't beat me with words, you can challenge me in a one-on-one duel." Chen Zhao was eager to try.
He had been training with Mr. Yu's ocean-going team for more than two months, and had also learned fighting skills from Yu Haiguang and Zhou Yuesheng.
The leading man was a little hesitant when he saw that he was obviously much stronger than before he went to the countryside.
"What are you doing? Looking for trouble?" Zhou Yuesheng and Qin Yunbai walked closer.
Another person leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered, "Brother, these two are from the compound next door, we can't afford to offend them."
After these words were spoken, the group of ten could only leave in disgrace.
"Another resounding victory." Chen Zhao smoothed his bangs back.
Yu Zhile slapped him on the back and said helplessly, "One day, ten of them block you, and I'll see what you'll do."
"Of course we'll knock them all over one by one." Ye Liang laughed, "A gust of wind can blow them away. There's no need to be afraid."
Chen Zhao grinned and ran to try on the newly released sneakers.
The group tried on a lot of shoes and left the counter with more than ten pairs of shoes, which made the salesperson smile.
Yu Wanqin and her partner got to know each other pretty well with the salesperson at the ready-made wardrobe counter. They left their contact information with each other and planned to discuss cooperation matters later.
We walked around the third floor together and bought a lot of things.
Hu Shuang was tired from shopping and wanted to find a place to rest. Li Yun said she would take Lan Yuanyuan to another place to look at fabrics. Yu Wanqin and Yu Haiguang went to the food area. Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue were going to buy things for their families, and Yu Zhile planned to go to the canned food counter to have a look.
"Chen Zhao and I are going to the bookstore next door." Yu Yue pulled away Chen Zhao who was about to scream.
The group agreed on a time and place to meet and left in different directions.
Ye Liang followed Yu Chuyue. He watched Qin Yunbai adjust Yu Chuyue's scarf naturally. He felt cold in his heart and shouted to Qin Yunbai: "Qin San, I'm going to the movies."
After saying this, he deliberately snorted loudly before running away.
Yu Chuyue felt strange and wanted to turn back but Qin Yunbai straightened her out.
"I haven't promised you yet, so don't do anything to me outside." She suddenly forgot what she was going to do and said with a frown.
Qin Yunbai smiled and handed over the newly bought leather gloves.
At the same time, Yu Zhile stood in front of the canned food counter, his eyes sweeping over the dazzling array of cans.
After looking for a while, she ran to the snack counter not far away. There were not many snacks in small packages, basically three categories: biscuits, candies and fruit leather.
Zhou Yuesheng picked up Yu Chi, whose height was barely the same as the counter, and asked, "What does Xiaobao like?"
"Oh, this child is so handsome, much cuter than the children in the new movie posters." The eldest sister handed him a candy and said with a smile, "The parents are also good-looking and young."
Yu Chi looked at Yu Zhile, then at Zhou Yuesheng.
"Thank you, but it's my sister and brother-in-law." Yu Zhile took the candy for him and corrected with a smile.
The eldest sister blushed and said sorry.
Yu Chi asked for two kinds of candy. The elder sister packed them up skillfully, collected the money, and then waved goodbye to Yu Chi with a smile.
At this time, a loud voice spread throughout the second floor: "Brother, here, over here, at the candy counter, come quickly!"
The skinny monkey rushed towards Yu Zhile while shouting. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees. He smiled at Xiaobao and said, "Little friend, I see that you have amazing talents. You will achieve great things in the future. Do you want to do something big with your uncle?"
"Who are you?" Yu Zhile pulled Yu Chi back a step.
Before the skinny monkey could answer, another man with messy long hair ran towards them from the same direction, slipped and knelt in the same place, muttering nonsense.
"It's him, it's him, the one I'm looking for."
"It's this look, the look I've been looking for for two years. Even though there's a slight age difference, he's the kitten I'm looking for."
As he said this, he hurriedly got up and tried to grab Xiaobao's hand.
When he was about to meet Xiaobao, Zhou Yuesheng had already recognized him, reached out and grabbed his collar, and sighed.
"Qi Er, you will scare him," he said.
Hearing this, Yu Zhile's eyes widened. She thought that the savage look that Qi's mother mentioned was just a description, but she didn't expect it to be a realistic description.
Qi Er turned around blankly, squinted his eyes to look at Zhou Yuesheng, and asked: "Why are you dressed like this?"
Soon, he realized that Zhou Yuesheng's tone was too intimate, his eyes became bright, and he asked him a series of questions.
"Do you know this kid?"
"Which family in the family compound does he belong to?"
"Can I meet his parents right away?"
"I'm going to make him the star of my new movie."
