Chapter 449: She Likes Her Current Career

Listening to the shop owner's enthusiastic introduction, Dai Qing thought it was okay. Anyway, she didn't know what people gave as wedding gifts. This painting looked nice and would be good as a decoration.

After negotiating the price and finding it within an acceptable range, I bought it directly and asked the store to pack it into a gift box. The gift was ready.

As soon as she unlocked the car, someone tapped her shoulder. Dai Qing raised her head and looked at the old lady in front of her.

"Mom, who are you?"

"Girl, don't you recognize me? I'm your mother Zhang. Last time I was here, you helped me catch a thief. Do you remember?"

Aunt Zhang looked at Dai Qing with a smile.

"Even though we haven't seen each other for so long, I still remember you very well."

"I remember now, mom is here shopping again?"

After her reminder, Dai Qing wanted to come. The old lady seemed to have said that she was from Changhong Community.

"As I get older, I like to go out and hang out. I didn't expect to meet you again today." Aunt Zhang held Dai Qing's hand and praised her, "You are so pretty. Do you have a date?"

Dai Qing: “…”

"Mom, you disappeared in the blink of an eye. I had such a hard time looking for you... Hey, Xiao Dai?"

"Team Leader Zhang?"

Dai Qing looked at the people running towards her and glanced at their faces. They were indeed 50% similar.

"Do you know each other?" Aunt Zhang was stunned and looked at the two of them.

"She used to be a car blocker in our factory." Team leader Zhang chuckled and looked at Dai Qing. "Compared with before, she has changed a lot."

Is there?

Dai Qing looked down at herself and said, "I don't feel anything. I'm just one year older."

"Oh, then we are really destined to meet. Xiao Dai is amazing. If she hadn't helped me catch the thief last time, I would never have found my wallet."

Aunt Zhang held Dai Qing's hand, and was very happy.

"Since we are all acquaintances, come over to my house tomorrow and I will make you something delicious."

"Thank you, Mom. I'll go when I'm free."

Dai Qing was a little overwhelmed by the other person's enthusiasm. Dealing with the elderly was sometimes less stressful than having a fight with them.

"Mom, you scared the little girl."

Team leader Zhang looked at his mother's enthusiasm, shook his head helplessly, and smiled at Dai Qing.

"The old lady is old, she likes to be lively, don't mind it."

The girl helped them twice in a row, so they should be grateful, but if they make her feel uncomfortable, it would be a waste of time.

"My mother has a cheerful personality, which is a good thing."

Dai Qing was pushing her bicycle, watching Team Leader Zhang carrying a large bag.

"Team Leader Zhang is off duty today?"

"I was on annual leave, and the old lady dragged me out to go shopping. My nephews and nieces came over on Sundays, and the old lady always prepared a bunch of snacks. It's a habit."

Team leader Zhang said, looking at Dai Qing, hesitating for a moment, but couldn't help but speak.

"You are a professional fortune teller now? Have you ever thought about returning to the factory?"

It's not that he is discriminating. He just feels that the profession of fortune-teller is a bit unreliable and the income is unstable. Moreover, as a girl, if she has no income, how will she live?

"I like my job, mainly because I have free time and am not bound by any constraints. I have no plans to go back."

Dai Qing refused outright. In a few years, the efficiency of the cotton textile factory would decline, and the wave of layoffs would have the greatest impact on the employees of the cotton textile factory, so the factory went bankrupt outright.

Many employees lost their jobs, causing panic among the people.

Fortunately, Team Leader Zhang was lucky and retired before the wave of resignations came.

Hearing Dai Qing's refusal, Team Leader Zhang was not surprised.

"In addition to my mother, I owe you two favors. I am afraid I can't help you with other things because of my limited ability. If one day you change your mind and want to return to the factory, I can help you."

"Although I won't use it, I still want to thank you, Team Leader."

Dai Qing smiled. This man was very lucky. Although his life was dull, it was still going smoothly. His physical condition also meant that he rarely got sick. For most people, being able to do this was definitely good luck.

"Xiao Dai, since we are acquaintances, we should visit each other more often in the future. Come to see me and I will make you something delicious." After the two of them finished talking, Aunt Zhang added with a smile.

"Okay, you guys go around and I'm leaving first." Dai Qing said hello to the two of them and rode away.

"What a good girl, but I wonder if she has a date? I wonder if the boys in our family are lucky enough to have one?"

Mother Zhang looked at Dai Qing's back and sighed.

"He dared to catch a thief in public, so his character is beyond reproach. He is also good-looking. Our boy is a perfect match for the girl."

Team leader Zhang was silent for a moment, then looked at my mother in surprise. Why did this old lady only think of good things?

You can tell at first glance that this girl is someone who has her own ideas. How could she allow others to arrange her marriage?

"What are you still standing there for? Go to the market and buy some bones to make soup. Once those monkeys come back, they'll swarm around like locusts. You have to feed them well."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she carried her small cloth bag and walked forward with small steps.

Team leader Zhang sighed helplessly, thanks to his mother who was self-aware enough to know that her grandson was not worthy of the girl. If she randomly picked someone else, he would be embarrassed.

Seeing that the old lady was about to leave again, Team Leader Zhang quickly followed her with his things in his hands. His annual leave was really exhausting, it would be better to go back to work and relax.

Dai Qing had no idea what the Zhang mother and son were thinking, so she rode her bike straight back home. When she opened the door, Xiao Hei was there to greet her, wagging his tail.

A black head rubbed against her legs with a resentful look in its eyes, probably because she didn't bring it out.

"I'm going to the market today to pick out gifts for someone, so it's not suitable for you to go. I'll give you a chicken drumstick as compensation tonight."

Dai Qing rubbed its head. Actually, this creature’s food is quite good.

In addition to eating her leftovers, she also had to stew a chicken rack for it every now and then, occasionally adding an egg and a chicken leg as a supplement, which had become part of her life.

Hearing the word "chicken legs", Xiao Hei's eyes lit up.

"Woo woo woo ..."

He rubbed her leg and ran away happily.

Dai Qing laughed. This guy is quite realistic.

Because of her promise, Dai Qing stewed a pot of soup and made herself a bowl of wontons.

Both the man and the dog were quite satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Dai Qing called Xiao Hei and went out for a walk with her hands behind her back.

Under the street lights, the shadows of the man and the dog were very long.

The two of them walked along the sidewalk aimlessly until they reached the bridge tunnel in front of them. Dai Qing stopped and in a flash, she found herself two miles away from home.

If you walk a little further, you will reach the Big Chimney. I heard that area is an urban village and it is very chaotic.

Dai Qing stood on the uphill slope, looking at the bridge tunnel in the distance, smelling the barbecue smell in the air, and prepared to turn back.

After a full stomach, no matter how good the smell is, it will not arouse your appetite.

Just after turning around and taking two steps out, I heard a bang and a person was kicked out of the bridge tunnel, stirring up a layer of dust.

Dai Qing stopped and looked back. What a coincidence, it was an acquaintance.
