Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Eggplant Clip, Quilted Jacket
Zhang Yunhuan took a deep breath, looked at Zhuo Jia, and explained seriously, "You should have guessed it by now. He Qingqing's real name is Zhen Mingzhu. Her family is very wealthy, but she donated a large portion of her wealth before. I didn't expect that she would be affected this time..."
He Qingqing has not been in good health since she was a child. Even after so many years of recuperation at home, she still cannot overwork. But at this moment, the only way for He Qingqing's family to let her escape is to fake her death. Zhen Mingzhu will die and He Qingqing will live!
It has to be said that He Qingqing's family was very perceptive. In order to save He Qingqing, they mobilized a lot of connections and asked friends who they hadn't contacted for a long time to help do this. So no one knew that He Qingqing's real name was Zhen Mingzhu.
As for why someone suddenly suspected that Zhen Mingzhu was not dead, Zhang Yunhuan didn't know. She didn't dare to ask now, for fear that others would know their relationship and follow the clues to find her. What would she do?
After hearing all this useless talk, Zhuo Jia rubbed her forehead and asked, "What's your relationship with He Qingqing? Won't their family's affairs implicate yours?"
Really, why can't you grasp the key point?
Zhang Yunhuan smirked, "Of course I'm not implicated. No one knows that my mom and He Qingqing's mom are actually half-sisters."
Her grandmother and He Qingqing's grandfather were husband and wife, but their relationship was very strained and they separated because they had no children. Later, they each got married and had children. Well, the children are He Qingqing's mother and Zhang Yunhuan's mother.
But coincidentally, He Qingqing's grandmother and Zhang Yunhuan's grandmother were sisters, but one was legitimate and the other was illegitimate. Zhang Yunhuan's grandmother's mother remarried with Zhang Yunhuan's grandmother, and they lost contact when the chaos broke out.
However, after settling down, the two sisters accidentally resumed contact, and influenced by them, their daughters became pen pals through correspondence...
Although it's a bit messy, even after such a messy relationship, Zhang Yunhuan and He Qingqing actually have a pretty good relationship!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
If Zhang Yunhuan hadn't told her this, she would never have thought of it even if you beat her to death!
But she also understood that it was not her fault that day, but Zhang Yunhuan and He Qingqing really did look a little bit alike. After all, there was a little similarity in their blood!
Zhang Yunhuan looked at Zhuo Jia eagerly and asked, "Do you understand?"
In fact, her relationship with He Qingqing is really distant and complicated, and most people would not think that they have a relationship.
Zhuo Jia nodded, and said with a headache: "I understand!"
She is not stupid, but she has to admit that the wealthy families in the past were really chaotic!
"I knew you could understand." Zhang Yunhuan clapped his hands and said excitedly.
In fact, she didn't understand it when she was a child. Her mother told her several times in a letter, but she couldn't remember it. But she knew that she had a little sister. Well, she just didn't expect the meeting to be like this.
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. He said it was so clear. If she still didn't understand, she would really go to the provincial hospital to have her brain checked.
She looked at Zhang Yunhuan, who was staring eagerly, and said, "Don't worry, I will keep this secret for you."
If she had known that this was a secret spanning four generations, she would have kicked Zhang Yunhuan out no matter what. She was overthinking it.
Zhang Yunhuan smiled foolishly again: "Jia Jia, I believe you even if you don't say it."
After all, this is her best friend!
Her best friend, Comrade Zhuo Jia, was having a headache. She looked at Zhang Yunhuan and said, "I believe in myself, but I don't quite believe in you."
She had really just mentioned it casually in the ward, but Zhang Yunhuan's face changed on the spot, as if she was afraid that others didn't know there was something fishy going on. She could tell something was wrong from Zhang Yunhuan's face, so how could she trust Zhang Yunhuan!
Zhang Yunhuan: “…”
It was so embarrassing to say this, but what could she do? She was really too nervous at that time!
Zhang Yunhuan pursed her lips and whispered to her fingers, "I was so panicked."
Well, her parents both said that it is generally difficult for people like her to keep any secrets!
Zhuo Jia took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Yunhuan and said, "Just remember one thing: you don't know Zhen Mingzhu, you know He Qingqing."
In many things, you have to deceive yourself first before you can deceive others!
She also thought that if that person didn't find the person this time, he might not come next time. After all, the country is so big, and she would have to take her time to look for him, unless she knew the name He Qingqing.
Zhang Yunhuan tried hard to keep smiling. Look at what she said. If she could do that, she wouldn't have lost her composure like that.
"Okay, okay, if you have nothing to do, just go back quickly. You still have to sleep at night." Zhuo Jia raised her hand to check the time and said quickly.
It's already ten o'clock, and she was supposed to look at the stars and the moon tonight!
Zhang Yunhuan clenched his fist and nodded: "Yeah, I'll go back and think about it and see how I can do what you said."
She didn't know Zhen Mingzhu at all and had never heard of the name.
Zhuo Jia quickly pulled him back: "Wait, it's time to go to bed, what are you still thinking about? As the saying goes, you dream about whatever you think about during the day. What if you talk in your sleep at night?"
Can’t you just get some sleep and think about it tomorrow?
No, she must make Zhang Yunhuan forget about this!
Zhang Yunhuan: “…”
When Zhang Yunhuan finally left, he was confused. Ahhh, why didn’t he know that Zhuo Jia was so talkative before? Is it because she’s getting old?
After Zhang Yunhuan left, Zhuo Jia no longer had the mood to look at the stars and the moon. She gulped down a large glass of water, then went to bed feeling dizzy.
Hey, eating melons is risky. Look, she got into trouble today!
…
The next day, Zhuo Jia successfully stayed awake in the morning. When she climbed out of bed, it was already past ten o'clock. She patted her head, not knowing whether it was because she slept too much or because she overused her brain yesterday, but it was throbbing with pain anyway!
She slowly changed her clothes, turned on the stove to heat water, washed up, and made an egg wash...
I drink milk powder every day, but today I drink something different, so delicious!
After hastily finishing her long-late breakfast, she opened the door and took a stroll next door. When she came back, she was followed by two little tails. Well, poor Qiao Wei went to school.
The two little tails were not looking for her, but for Xiao Hei, and they were holding bones that they had brought back from the banquet specifically for Xiao Hei.
Of course, she and the two children had no such intention. It was her eldest brother who took care of it, but her eldest brother didn't have time to bring it over yesterday.
"Aunt, Xiao Hei is so cute. Can I take it home to raise it?" Xiao Peng held Xiao Hei's paw tightly and shouted to Zhuo Jia excitedly.
He really likes Xiao Hei so much!
Zhuo Jia shook her head and refused firmly: "No, this is my Xiao Hei!"
This is her dog!
Xiaopeng pouted and said aggrievedly: "But Second Aunt, Xiaohei likes me."
When he said this, he shook Xiao Hei's paw, as if Xiao Hei agreed!
Xiao Hei: "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, woof woof woof!"
It is not, it does not exist, don't slander it!
"Xiao Hei likes bones, not you." Zhuo Jia took a look and said bluntly.
When she was feeding Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei was also very enthusiastic towards her.
Xiao Hei: "Woof woof woof!"
Slander, slander!
Seeing Xiao Hei crying, Xiao Ru immediately took Xiao Hei out of Xiao Peng's arms. She said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, Xiao Hei is uncomfortable. You can't hold him like this."
After saying that, she touched Xiao Hei's fur. You know what, her second aunt really took good care of Xiao Hei. Other people's puppies were like little beggars!
"Sister, don't you like Xiao Hei?" Xiao Peng asked with a dissatisfied look.
It’s obvious that his sister likes Xiao Hei as much as he does, so why doesn’t she allow him to bring Xiao Hei home?
Xiao Ru looked at him and asked, "I like Xiao Hei, but if I bring Xiao Hei home, will I give him my meal?"
Of course she loves Xiao Hei, but there is no extra food at home to feed Xiao Hei.
Xiaopeng, who didn't want to give up his meal, said: "..."
He rolled his eyes, his eyes lit up, and pointed at Zhuo Jia and said, "Then let Second Aunt continue to feed Xiao Hei."
There is food at Second Aunt’s house!
Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. Without hesitation, she bent down, picked up Xiao Peng, and threw him out the door. She said unhappily, "Go home. Xiao Hei won't play with you anymore."
Could it be that in Xiaopeng's eyes, she is a big victim?
Xiaopeng was stunned. He stood outside the door completely dumbfounded, but what made him despair was yet to come.
His dear second aunt continued, "Since you like Xiao Hei so much, I will give you snacks directly from now on."
Humph, you want to steal her little black?
Don’t even think about it!
Xiaopeng was really stupid this time. Thinking of the delicious food given by his second aunt, tears gradually appeared in his eyes. Woo woo woo, he also wanted to eat it.
Seeing that he was about to cry, Zhuo Jia immediately said, "Don't cry. If you dare to cry, I will tell your mother about you and me fighting over Xiao Hei. From now on, your mother will serve your meals directly to Xiao Hei."
As a big naughty kid, she doesn't believe that she can't control the little naughty kid. It's just a matter of who is unreasonable. She can do it.
"I, I didn't cry." Xiaopeng said with a pout.
Woo woo woo, Second Aunt is already so old, why is she still complaining! She is no better than a child. He knows that he should not complain, otherwise no one will play with him!
Zhuo Jia snorted again, then stood at the door with her hands on her hips and asked, "Are you going to compete with me for Xiao Hei again in the future?"
If he dared to nod, she would send the child back to the next yard.
Xiaopeng, who knew the situation, quickly shook his head: "No more snatching, no more snatching."
I don’t dare to rob anymore. Second Aunt is even more unreasonable and more noisy than him. I will never dare to do that again!
Hearing this, Zhuo Jia hummed and said, "That's better. Come in."
She is a professional when it comes to dealing with unreasonable children!
Seeing her brother coming in dejectedly, Xiaoru, who was writing on the ground, covered her mouth and laughed unkindly, hahahaha, he deserved it.
"Sister, I'm here." Xiaopeng ran to his sister and shouted with a grin.
Zhuo Jia couldn't help but twitch her lips. It is said that children's brains cannot hold too many things, and this shows that it is true!
He was pouting and about to cry just now, but now he is grinning with his teeth wide open. He is such a child.
Around eleven o'clock, Qian Yulan came back from the old courtyard after picking vegetables. She left two eggplants and two tomatoes for Zhuo Jia, and then left with her two children.
Zhuo Jia's eyes lit up when she looked at the two eggplants. She was alone, so frying one was enough. What should she do with the other one?
She clapped her hands and said she would go buy meat tomorrow. She wanted to fry some eggplant sticks!
If it wasn't too late and she couldn't buy meat in the county, she would have wanted to buy meat right now.
The thought of eating eggplant tongs filled Zhuo Jia with energy. Time flew by, and before she knew it, it was the next day...
Zhuo Jia got up early, which was rare for her. She sent the brother and sister who came to play with her back and rode her bike straight to the county. She had to eat eggplant clips today. She had been drooling before going to bed last night because of thinking about it!
Lin Yu and Zhuo Jia, who happened to be on vacation today, met at the meat supply station!
Lin Yu looked at Zhuo Jia and asked in shock, "Why are you here so early?"
She was not surprised at all that Zhuo Jia came to the city. After all, he was a complete idler. But what made her hard to accept was: why did Zhuo Jia get up so early?
Zhuo Jia blinked and said innocently, "I really wanted to eat eggplant clips so much that I couldn't sleep."
I’m drooling just thinking about it. What kind of day is this!
Lin Yu: “…”
Although she really wanted to say, "Is it really that important?", but when she thought of the delicious eggplant clips, she couldn't help drooling. Well, it was really that important, because it was really delicious!
She looked at the meat in her hand and asked, "Do you mind if I go to your house and join you?"
She has meat!
Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes at her: "I don't mind, but do you dare to follow me?"
I'm afraid the whole family is waiting for the meat in Lin Yu's hand to make lunch.
Lin Yu was silent. She didn't dare. She was going back to her mother's house today. If she dared to go with Zhuo Jia, her mother would probably tear her apart!
Finally, Lin Yu watched with tears in her eyes as Zhuo Jia left mercilessly with the meat in her hand. Woo woo woo, her eggplant clip just left her like that. Her heart ached so much. She wanted to eat it!
The ruthless Zhuo Jia rode her bicycle away without hesitation. Although the journey was long, she didn't feel tired at all today. She even felt full of energy when she thought about eating eggplant clips when she got back.
When she got home, Zhuo Jia seemed not to feel the heat at all. She walked out with the basket. The only eggplant at home was not enough to eat, so she went to the old courtyard to pick a few more. It would be even better if she could see her hardworking mother-in-law.
However, this time things were not to her liking, because when she arrived at the nursing home, the door was locked. She sighed in disappointment. She had wanted to ask her mother-in-law for help, but it seemed that it was impossible today.
Although disappointed, she still resigned herself to going in to pick vegetables. Her mother-in-law's absence did not prevent her from making delicious food. After all, she had Qiao Ru, her little helper who made the fire!
Zhuo Jia went straight to the backyard and picked several large eggplants. Oh, she saw beans and picked a handful of them. When she was leaving, she saw leeks...
Finally, she went to the window frame to find the scissors, turned around and cut a bunch of leeks, and then left satisfied!
With so many dishes and meat, she had no idea how delicious today's eggplant clips would be. Just thinking about it made her drool. She walked faster and faster, and by the end, she almost ran.
I can only say that at Zhuojia, eating is the first motivation!
When Liu Hongying came back from outside, she saw Zhuo Jia almost running past her, her face full of anxiety. She quickly called out to someone and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
This was like telling what had happened, but he still managed to hold on to his basket of vegetables. He just said everything was fine, but he was walking too fast. Anyone who saw him would have asked him some questions.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhuo Jia stopped for a moment, turned her head and saw her mother-in-law. She was instantly excited. She walked quickly to her mother-in-law and said with a smile: "Mom, I was looking for you."
She looked for it when she came to the nursing home, so it wasn't a lie!
However, Liu Hongying was skeptical about this. After all, her daughter-in-law had been busy walking and didn't look like she was looking for anyone. But as a caring mother-in-law, she didn't say this out loud.
She just looked at Zhuo Jia and asked, "What do you want from me?"
What tricks is this daughter-in-law planning to pull off again?
Zhuo Jia blinked, raised the basket and said innocently, "Mom, I want to fry some eggplant slices for lunch. I've already picked the vegetables."
As she said this, she asked her mother-in-law to take a look at what dishes were available.
Liu Hongying looked at the dishes and said in surprise, "You've prepared quite a lot of stuffing."
Except for her, the daughter-in-law, most people don't have this ability.
"I also bought a piece of meat, Mom. You and Dad can come to my place for lunch." Zhuo Jia said with a silly smile, looking up.
She felt in her heart that she was so filial!
Liu Hongying: “…”
She finally realized what was happening, stared at Zhuo Jia for a while, and then asked, "Have you ever made eggplant clips before?"
Sometimes a daughter-in-law’s sudden filial piety often hides a deeper trap!
"No, this is my first time, but I have oil and meat, so I will definitely make it delicious." Zhuo Jia said seriously with a tense face.
Hearing this, Liu Hongying finally realized what was happening. She asked expressionlessly, "Did you come to me to fry some eggplant tongs for you?"
She said, this lazy and greedy daughter-in-law suddenly became diligent, this must be a trap!
Zhuo Jia said obediently, "If mom is alright, you can go and help me. After all, I'm a little nervous when I'm alone, and I'm afraid the meat will be wasted."
It’s still her mother-in-law who understands her and knows what she wants to do!
Liu Hongying was so angry that she laughed. She nodded with her hand and said, "You go back first. I'll be there soon."
What do you mean by afraid of wasting meat? This daughter-in-law is not someone who would be afraid. You are just using words to control her.
Hey, who made her fall for it?
Zhuo Jia smiled happily: "Mom, take your time, don't worry, I'll go back and wash the vegetables first."
With her mother-in-law around, it seems that the chef won’t need her today. That’s great.
After saying that, she skipped away with the basket in her hand, so happy!
Looking at Zhuo Jia's jumping back, Liu Hongying shook her head. The changes were so fast. Even if someone was found to do the work, it couldn't be so obvious, right?
But as a frugal person, she couldn't stand wasting things, especially meat, so she went home to clean up a little and hurried out. She had to go quickly to prevent the second brother's family from doing it themselves.
When Zhuo Jia got home, she didn't rush to wash the vegetables. Instead, she went next door to call her personal stoker, little Qiao Ru!
Oh, and also tell her sister-in-law to come to her house for lunch at noon, and she will give you enough eggplant chops!
…
Zhuo Jia held her chin and squatted at the kitchen door, and next to her was Xiaopeng who was doing the same thing as her. The two of them were exactly the same, even their saliva was similar!
Liu Hongying was concentrating on the eggplant chops in the pot. As for the two people at the door, she pretended not to see them as long as they didn't enter the kitchen.
He turned the eggplant tongs over and said to his granddaughter, "Xiaoru, turn down the heat a little."
With so much oil and such a big piece of meat, you must not burn it!
Qiao Ru responded, then moved the firewood out. At the same time, she quickly turned her head to look at her second aunt and younger brother, covering her mouth and laughing. Hehe, second aunt and younger brother are really funny.
"Woof woof woof."
Hearing Xiao Hei's cry, Xiao Peng turned his head and looked: "Second Aunt, Xiao Hei is calling, is someone coming?"
Normally, Xiao Hei rarely barks unless someone comes in. No, sometimes when someone passes by outside, Xiao Hei will bark too.
Zhuo Jia's eyes remained fixed: "Xiao Hei is greedy too!"
Oh, she was almost going to death with anxiety. She was waiting to eat it when her mother-in-law would take the first piece of eggplant slices out of the pot. The first piece must not fall into Xiaopeng's mouth!
"What do you mean Xiao Hei is greedy too?" Qian Yulan came in from outside carrying dishes and baked pancakes. When she heard this, she opened her mouth and asked.
Although Zhuo Jia said that eggplant vines were filling, how could their family of five, plus her parents-in-law, all eat eggplant vines? So she fried two more dishes and cooked a pot of soup.
Oh, I also baked a pancake, which was specially made for Zhuo Jia!
Zhuo Jia looked up and saw her sister-in-law holding a basin in each hand. She quickly stood up and took one, saying, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say we'd eat at my house? Why are you still cooking?"
Anyway, my mother-in-law is here, so I can just ask her to cook some vegetables and make some soup.
Perhaps it was because sisters-in-law naturally had a tacit understanding when facing their mother-in-law. In any case, Qian Yulan understood what she hadn't said. She shook her head and said, "I have nothing to do at home. Everything is ready. I can just raise my hand!"
Ahem, she must not let her mother-in-law know what her sister-in-law is thinking, otherwise she will be furious!
Zhuo Jia didn't think so. After all, her sister-in-law was alone at home, without even a fire starter, cooking and making pancakes, which was not easy. She quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down and take a rest. The eggplant tongs will be out of the pot soon."
She thought with some heartache, it was her sister-in-law's coincidence that she came here, so she should give the first piece out of the pot to her sister-in-law.
Qian Yulan shook her head and said, "There's a pot of food and a pot of soup at home. I'll go get them."
After she brought it over, she went to the kitchen to replace her daughter. It was not because she felt sorry for her daughter. After all, making fire is not that tiring. The important thing is that she can't watch her mother-in-law while she works!
After hearing this, Zhuo Jia hesitated for a long time, and finally followed her sister-in-law to the next door to help serve the dishes. The two of them could finish the job in one trip. She felt that she was really diligent sometimes.
Soon, Liu Hongying and the eldest daughter-in-law Qian Yulan were the ones working in the kitchen, while her good second daughter-in-law and the other two little ones were eating in the yard with their heads held high!
Well, even Xiao Hei, who was tied in the corner, was very anxious. Unfortunately, no matter how anxious Xiao Hei was, he was destined not to get any food.
…
Because Zhuo Jia prepared a lot of dishes, there were not enough eggplants in the end, so she took her two little tails to the old courtyard to pick two big eggplants, and finally fried a whole pot of eggplant clips.
Liu Hongying washed her face and hands, then stood in the yard, breathing a sigh of relief. She looked at Zhuo Jia and said, "We fried so many, I'll let you eat as much as you want this time."
After she said that, she shook her hands. Except for the Chinese New Year, this was the first time her wrists hurt from frying something!
Zhuo Jia finished the eggplant scissors in her hand and said with a smile: "Mom, you guys eat more too!"
She is not the kind of person who eats alone, so today she lets everyone have a share.
The people in the yard were talking when Xiao Wei, who had gone out again, came back with his grandfather and father.
Although he had already eaten a piece, when Xiao Wei smelled the overbearing aroma, he went straight to the kitchen. He really liked Second Aunt, who had so many delicious foods here.
Zhuo Jia quickly grabbed him and said, "In the main room, in the main room."
Really, this kid has bad eyesight. As a qualified foodie, how can he not be sensitive to delicious food!
Qiao Wei turned around and went straight to the main hall. Delicious food, delicious food, he is here.
"Are you preparing for the New Year?" the brigade secretary asked in shock, looking at the bowl of eggplant clips on the table in the main hall.
How much oil does this require? There will be no tomorrow after today.
Liu Hongying said angrily, "I'm not even this tired during Chinese New Year. These eggplant clips are filled with a lot of oil. I'm going to eat as much as I can today."
Anyway, she didn't want to fry eggplant vines anymore today. She was so tired.
Seeing his mother's resentful look, Qiao Anshan, who also wanted to speak, silently shut his mouth. Forget it, he decided not to say anything and just ate in silence.
Although it was Zhuo Jia who initiated the order of fried eggplant clips, she actually couldn't eat much. Instead, she ate half of the pancake made by her sister-in-law and finally drank a bowl of soup.
After dinner, she didn't have to worry about anything. After everyone left, the house would be clean.
Besides the eggplant tongs on the main hall table, her sister-in-law also left her some pancakes, and she also had white flour buns in her kitchen...
At this moment, Zhuo Jia felt that her life would not change no matter who came!
Humming a little tune, she put the eggplant tongs and pancakes on the table in the main room into the kitchen, and then went to take a nap.
Well, the glutton in my stomach is no longer beating, I should be able to have a comfortable nap today!
…
When Zhuo Jia got up from the bed again, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. When she saw the time, she thought she had seen it wrong at first glance, and then she thought she was really greedy last night!
She stretched and got up from the bed. Oh, she had a headache. It seemed that she had slept too much.
After washing her face and waking up, she strolled to the kitchen, picked up a bowl of eggplant pickles, and then carried them in a basket to find Zhang Yunhuan. She had delicious food, but she couldn't forget her good friend, right?
"Jia Jia, I love you so much!" Looking at the eggplant chops in the bowl, Zhang Yunhuan shouted excitedly to Zhuo Jia.
Woo woo woo, she felt that the biggest gain from her trip to the countryside this time was meeting her friend Zhuo Jia.
Zhuo Jia raised her hand and pushed Zhang Yunhuan away, saying unhappily, "Be serious! If you continue like this, I won't send you any delicious food next time."
I love her to death, but I almost scare her to death. I have goosebumps all over!
Hearing this, Zhang Yunhuan immediately shut up. She even covered her mouth and shook her head to show that she would never talk nonsense again.
Zhuo Jia was amused by Zhang Yunhuan, so she started to ask about the matter: "Are you going to the county tomorrow?"
There are so many eggplant picks at home, and she thought of giving some to Lin Yu tomorrow. After all, she is her cousin!
Zhang Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "Go, I'll go mail the letter."
She has to send a letter to her parents!
"Okay, then we'll go together tomorrow." Zhuo Jia nodded.
They made an appointment to go out tomorrow. Zhuo Jia asked Zhang Yunhuan to clear out her bowl and wash it, as she was leaving.
Zhang Yunhuan: “…”
So this trip is just to bring her food?
She was almost moved to tears!
Zhuo Jia was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Yunhuan, who was having a lot of inner drama. She stuffed the bowl into the basket and left with the basket.
She went to the city this morning. Her exercise today has seriously exceeded her limit. She is going to spend time with her favorite rocking chair!
So for the rest of the time, Zhuo Jia sat in the yard to cool off. She didn't even cook at night. She just ate two eggplant slices and drank a bowl of egg water.
Then she continued to lie in the yard and look at the stars and the moon, which was her favorite activity!
It was past ten o'clock when Zhuo Jia finally felt sleepy. She yawned and went back to her room to sleep. But as soon as she entered the room, she remembered that Zhang Yunhuan was going to mail a letter tomorrow, so did she also have to send a letter to Qiao Anchuan?
Although he left right after they got married, he was her partner after all!
So she forced herself to resist the urge to sleep and sat at the desk to write a particularly thick letter. There was no other way, as the team had been too busy recently. When she wrote down all these things, it took up several pages of paper.
But when she wrote a letter, she couldn't just write these useless words, so she wrote a bunch of words of missing him. Well, although the two of them were separated by two places, the relationship still needed to be cultivated!
Finally, she stuffed the letter into the envelope, feeling the thickness of the envelope, and finally went to bed with satisfaction. At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning...
Go to sleep, go to sleep quickly, you have to go out tomorrow!
…
Zhang Yunhuan looked at Zhuo Jia with a face full of resentment and said, "You got up late!"
The two agreed to go out at nine o'clock, but when she arrived, Zhuo Jia hadn't opened the door yet, so she stood at the door like a door god again.
Zhuo Jia said apologetically, "I was writing a letter to Qiao Anchuan last night, but I didn't notice the time and went to bed too late."
Hey, it’s all Qiao Anchuan’s fault!
Zhang Yunhuan was stunned for a moment, then said blankly: "Oh, then are you ready? Can we go out now?"
She didn't even dare let Zhuo Jia know. It took her a while to realize who Qiao Anchuan was. What a sin!
"Let's go." Zhuo Jia nodded quickly.
So the two of them hurried out on their bikes. The weather was good today, and it would definitely be hot later!
When they arrived at the post office, Zhuo Jia was given another letter when she was about to send it. It was from Qiao Anchuan. The postman had not had time to deliver it yet, and since she happened to be there, he gave it directly to her.
Zhuo Jia casually stuffed the letter into her bag and went out with Zhang Yunhuan. It was already eleven o'clock, and now was just the right time to go to the state-owned restaurant!
So the two of them went to the state-owned restaurants, supply and marketing cooperatives, and movie theaters...
The one-day itinerary is really packed!
When the two of them finished their work and went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to get their cotton-padded clothes, Lin Yu curled her lips and said enviously, "You two actually went to the movies. You're so lucky."
When was the last time she watched a movie? Well, it seemed to be when she was dating her man. Later, after they got married, there were a lot of trivial matters at home. How could she have the mood to watch a movie? She didn’t have the time!
Zhuo Jia smiled while holding the backpack, turned around and said, "Don't be envious. Next time you have a day off, tell me and I'll treat you to a movie!"
After saying this, she waved her hand and left!
Although she didn't really like watching it, it didn't matter if she took a look sometimes, and she was quite happy to go.
Looking at Zhuo Jia's elegant back, the salesperson at the counter next to her said enviously, "Lin Yu, your cousin is so kind to you."
She has several cousins, but none of them has offered to treat her to a movie.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "My cousin is a very good person!"
Apart from her husband, Zhuo Jia was also the first person who offered to treat her to a movie. How could she not be touched?
Zhuo Jia didn't know that Lin Yu was so moved just by saying he would treat her to a movie, but if she knew, she wouldn't say anything except to treat her to two more shows.
When they got home, Zhuo Jia called out to Zhang Yunhuan, who was about to leave: "Come in with me."
There is also a piece of clothing in the backpack for Zhang Yunhuan, which is just right for Zhang Yunhuan to take away.
Zhang Yunhuan followed in puzzled, saying, "What's wrong? Do you want me to admire your new clothes?"
She felt that she might not be able to appreciate it, but she was envious, because she said she was making a cotton-padded jacket here, and her mother said she didn't believe she had the ability to do it, and said she should finish it and send it to her before winter!
"Am I that boring?" Zhuo Jia said unhappily. She took out the clothes in the backpack and looked at them. One was thick and the other was a little thin. She easily found the different one, the one made for Zhang Yunhuan.
Looking at the pile of cotton jackets and trousers on the kang, Zhang Yunhuan couldn't help but gasp. So much cloth, so much cotton!
Noticing Zhang Yunhuan's look, Zhuo Jia handed over the different cotton-padded jacket: "Here, this is made for you. Take a look and see if it fits you. If not, I'll have someone alter it."
This is a return gift for the red dress, so it must fit perfectly. After all, the red dress fits perfectly!
Zhang Yunhuan was shocked again. She looked at the cotton-padded jacket handed to her and asked, "Are you sure you made it for me?"
She couldn't believe it. Such a thick cotton-padded jacket was given to her just like that. This must be a real sister, not a good friend!
Zhuo Jia was amused by her expression and said with a smile, "I made it for you. Didn't you give me a red dress when I got married? At that time, I wanted to give you a cotton-padded jacket, but then I got busy and forgot about it. Don't think I'm late."
Even if they are good friends, there should be give and take. Moreover, Zhang Yunhuan asked her family to buy that red dress, so she cannot ignore this friendship.
Zhang Yunhuan was almost moved to tears, but even if she didn't cry, her eyes were red. She pursed her lips and said, "It's not too late, not at all, Jiajia. You are the best person to me besides my family."
It’s not like she didn’t have friends before, but she didn’t have a friend like Zhuo Jia!
Zhuo Jia quickly said, "Try it quickly. If it doesn't fit, we'll have to find someone to modify it."
She was a little uncomfortable with the sudden sentimentality. Besides, if Zhang Yunhuan really cried, would she have to join him?
But if two people shed tears for a cotton-padded jacket, then this cotton-padded jacket is a bit expensive!
Zhang Yunhuan pouted and said, "It's definitely suitable."
As she spoke, she put it on. It was the right length and loose, perfect for wearing other clothes underneath in winter.
She turned around in it and showed it to Zhuo Jia: "Look, what do you think? Isn't it very beautiful?"
"Well, it looks good and fits." Zhuo Jia looked at it carefully and nodded.
It seems that Lin Yu has a good vision in this regard!
Zhang Yunhuan tugged at the corner of his clothes, grinned foolishly and said, "I think it's suitable too."
She announced that this was her favorite cotton jacket.
Seeing her giggling, Zhuo Jia couldn't help but say, "Since it's suitable, why don't you take it off quickly? Aren't you hot wearing a cotton jacket in this weather?"
She's hot just looking at her, let alone wearing it!
Zhang Yunhuan shook his head: "It's not hot, not hot at all, it's very comfortable to wear!"
This was given to her by Jia Jia, how could it be hot? No way!
Zhuo Jia: "..."
It's over. Could it be that she would drive Zhang Yunhuan crazy just by giving her a cotton-padded jacket?
This endurance is too poor!
In the end, Zhang Yunhuan took it off anyway. Ahem, the fact proved that even though it was a gift from Zhuo Jia, it was still hot to wear a cotton jacket in this weather.
She held on to the jacket tightly and promised Zhuo Jia, "I will take good care of this jacket!"
Zhuo Jia was silent for a moment and said, "That's not necessary. Just dress well for the winter."
Quilted jackets are for wearing, not for keeping!
