Chapter 156: Eating Watermelon at Friendship Store
The mute woman walked over with her body bent and nodded at Ye Rou.
She had a mask on her left eye and a deep, long scar on her face, which looked particularly scary when she saw it suddenly.
A big hand blocked Ye Rou's eyes, and everything went dark.
Jiang Chen said calmly, "Mute woman, please get out."
Ye Rou heard the heavy footsteps of the mute woman walking out.
Jiang Chen took his hand away and gently pinched Ye Rou's face, "Are you scared?"
"Not bad." Ye Rou had helped out in the burn department during her internship in her previous life. She had seen even more hideous and terrifying patients there, but now that she had reacted well, she didn't find it scary anymore.
Seeing that she was serious, Jiang Chen ruffled her hair and said, "Let's eat."
Ye Rou's eyes lit up as she looked at the table full of delicious food. She picked up a meat bun and started eating. The skin and meat were chewy, and the cabbage and pork filling was particularly fragrant.
"It's delicious." She narrowed her eyes slightly as she ate.
Seeing how delicious she was eating, Mr. Zheng's appetite was whetted and he ate one more.
After resting last night, they all had to go to work this morning.
Wang Guoping and Zhou Yuqing are going back to university to teach, one teaches economics and the other is the vice president of the Conservatory of Music.
Li Weijun is going back to the military region, and Zheng Zhiyuan is going to the government.
Song Zhishu took Tang Panxia to see the house that Jiang Chen bought for her.
After seeing them off, Ye Rou stretched. The sun was shining brightly and she was in a particularly good mood.
Jiang Chen hugged her and asked, "Do you want to go shopping in Jing City?"
"I want to." Ye Rou's eyes lit up and she agreed immediately.
It was still a bit cold in Beijing in early spring. Ye Rou wore a gray woolen cardigan she had knitted herself, a thin white sweater underneath, dark wide-leg jeans, and a pair of black Mary Jane T-shaped shoes.
She was dressed neatly and cleanly, with her hair tied into two thick, fluffy fishbone braids. She wore a pearl tourmaline necklace and pearl earrings given by her aunt.
Jiang Chen leaned against the door frame and watched her dress up.
His wife loves beauty, likes beautiful jewelry, and likes to look at clothes. Dahe Village is closed and backward. If there is any movement at home, the whole village will know about it the next day. Because of this, she doesn't want to dress too fancy, and the clothes she wears are also of conventional styles. She dare not wear these jewelry.
Now that he saw how beautifully she was dressed, Jiang Chen suddenly didn't want to go out anymore. He wanted to take her upstairs to make out. No matter how beautiful the scenery in Beijing was, it couldn't compare to her.
But Jiang Chen just thought about this in his mind and didn't dare to say it out loud. Xiaoguai was very strong and his hits would hurt a lot.
"I'm fine." Ye Rou walked to Jiang Chen with a smile and took his hand.
Jiang Chen led her out.
When they were almost at the outer courtyard, Jiang Chen stopped and said, "Come out and say hello to my wife."
Ye Rou was stunned when she saw three mothers-in-law walking out of a room next to the door.
They are all old, but look younger than Grandma Song.
The one standing on the far left is the mute old woman who cooks delicious food. The old woman standing in the middle is particularly strong and smiles warmly when she sees Ye Rou.
The old woman on the far left was dressed neatly, with her hair neatly tied up. Her eyes were exceptionally calm. She nodded slightly when she saw Ye Rou.
Jiang Chen nodded at them.
The three maids left one after another.
Ye Rou asked Jiang Chen in confusion, "Where did you hire these three mothers-in-law?"
They all look extraordinary, like characters with special identities in movies.
"I found it at the job market." Jiang Chen answered casually.
Ye Rou was dissatisfied and accused: "You lied to me."
"They all asked me to find their children because they lost them." Jiang Chen confessed honestly.
Ye Rou frowned, "Can you find it in such a big city like Beijing?"
Where can I find him when he's dead?
The second half of Jiang Chen's sentence that he didn't say was that these three women had lost the will to live and stayed because they wanted revenge.
He took Ye Rou out and drove around Beijing, visiting Tancao Temple, the Summer Palace, Beihai Park and the ancient city wall.
It took the whole morning to go around the place. At noon, the two of us went to a state-owned restaurant for lunch. When we came out, we saw the Friendship Store.
The glass door with a red sign had a very old-fashioned feel. Ye Rou took Jiang Chen's hand and walked into the store.
Inside, neatly arranged shelves were filled with semiconductor radios, diamond watches, Dacron cloth, and boxes of Arctic Ocean drinks, a dazzling array of miscellaneous goods.
There was already a customer in the store, looking at his watch.
The salesperson was introducing watches, "Diamond is a great brand, and this is the only one we have left in our store."
Ye Rou walked around but didn't want to buy anything. Just as she was about to leave, the melon-eating alarm in her head, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started beeping.
She suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Chen, "I want to go shopping again."
Jiang Chen: “…”
No need to guess, there must be gossip to listen to.
His wife is inexplicably keen on this kind of thing.
A man and a woman walked in.
The man who walked in first was wearing a white shirt and had gentle features.
He walked in, supporting a thin woman in a white dress. She seemed a little embarrassed by the man's enthusiasm.
"Thank you, Chaoyang."
"You sprained your ankle. Be careful these days." The young man was considerate and careful.
Because winter had just ended, there was still a thick curtain hanging on the store door, and he was extremely careful when lifting it.
Anyone who sees them can tell that they are a loving and well-matched couple.
The young man looked at the girl's feet and said angrily, "It's all Chi Liu's fault for pushing you. If it weren't for her, you would have been able to meet Master Zhou, whom you have admired for a long time."
The girl in the white dress said helplessly, "Xiao Liu didn't mean it. Besides, Master Zhou is now the vice president of the academy. I will have many opportunities in the future."
"Keke, you're too kind. This time it's the legs, next time it might be the hands or the face..."
"Meng Chaoyang, what rumors are you spreading here?"
There was a loud shout, and the woman who bought the watch suddenly turned around and stared at Meng Chaoyang with a gloomy expression.
When the slender woman saw the tall and strong woman, she quickly pushed away the young man's support and said in panic: "Xiao Liu, don't get me wrong, we just met by chance."
Meng Chaoyang was startled when he suddenly saw Chi Liu, but he quickly regained his composure. "How did I spread rumors? You were just jealous of Keke and pushed her on purpose!"
Chi Liu said with disgust, "I was just walking on my own path, but she got herself into trouble and suddenly fell down in front of me."
She grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, her large hands slamming the glass display cabinets. "Chi Keke, you're really good at pretending to be weak in front of my parents and aggrieved in front of Meng Chaoyang."
"Xiao Liu, you really misunderstood." Chi Ke explained while shrinking his body, seeming to be very afraid of Chi Liu.
Seeing this scene, Meng Chaoyang was completely furious. He stood in front of Chi Keke and warned Chi Liu, "You shrew, don't scare Keke."
Chi Liu smiled bitterly, "She has occupied my identity for twenty years. My parents are on her side, and you, my fiancé, are also on her side. How dare I scare her?"
"It's not Coco's fault for what happened back then." Meng Chaoyang muttered.
Chi Keke grabbed Meng Chaoyang's arm and begged, "Chaoyang, stop talking. Don't you want to buy a watch? I'll go with you to look at it."
She sprained her ankle and limped towards the glass cabinet with the help of Meng Chaoyang.
