Tan Lan went out with a shopping basket and went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.
When they came out of Dajiang Village, Ye Yunshu said that there was nothing good at home and asked him to bring over two laying hens.
Jiang Lin refused and said he would buy it when he arrived in the capital.
So, thinking about going to Su's house today, Jiang Lin could only go to a nearby place to buy things.
Some grocery stores and department stores are open on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Jiang Lin is not afraid of not being able to buy things.
He asked people along the way and arrived at the vegetable market in the military compound.
At this time, most of the things stockpiled for the New Year have been eaten, and many people come out to buy things, and the department stores are crowded.
The department store in the capital was quite large, and he searched for a while but couldn't find the place that sold vegetables.
He called out to a woman next to him, "Comrade, how do I get to the vegetable market?"
When Tan Lan saw his figure, she felt that he was somewhat similar to the one she saw at the window last night. When he opened his mouth and heard his voice, she was somewhat certain that he was the one Su Yuhe liked.
She smiled and asked, "From out of town?"
Jiang Lin nodded and asked again.
Tan Lan pointed in a direction: "The place where the vegetables are sold is still a few steps away. Come with me, I want to sell vegetables too."
Jiang Lin: "Thank you so much."
Tan Lan asked as they walked: "It's Chinese New Year, why aren't you at home celebrating? Or are you going to work at your company?"
"No, I came to see a friend." Jiang Lin didn't say much, but he didn't intend to lie.
Tan Lan nodded: "This place is quite big. What do you want to buy? If it's on the way, I'll take you there. If not, I'll show you the way."
Jiang Lin remembered Ye Yunshu's words and decided to buy eggs, some grains and oil first. He also needed malted milk, candy, and peach cakes...
Tan Lan raised an eyebrow and asked, "You bought quite a lot? Are you going to your mother-in-law's house?"
Jiang Lin nodded, then shook his head: "Not yet."
Tan Lan laughed and said, "So it will be in the future? I'm going to buy some flour, let's go together."
Jiang Lin didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He didn't ask anything and followed Tan Lan.
Tan Landuo looked at him twice and said, "Young comrade, when you go out, don't you have any guard at all?"
Jiang Lin just wanted to save some time so that he wouldn't waste half a day buying things.
He withdrew his gaze from the display of goods and said with a casual smile: "You don't look like a bad person."
Tan Lan really bought a 25-kilogram bag of flour. Jiang Lin was originally planning to buy rice, but after a pause, he asked, "Auntie, do most people in the capital eat noodles?"
Tan Lan nodded: "Local people mostly eat noodles, and some people from other places eat rice. Is your partner a local?"
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment: "That should be it..."
He finally bought rice.
Tan Lan: "Why don't you buy flour? Didn't you say your partner is a local?"
Jiang Lin glanced at the rice and said, "She must have noodles at home. Let's buy some rice. My girlfriend also likes rice."
Tan Lan thought thoughtfully: "Then the cakes you bought are also your partner's favorites?"
Jiang Lin nodded without hesitation.
Tan Lan smiled: "Shouldn't you please your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Buy them all your partner's favorite food?"
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment: "...I didn't ask them what they like to eat."
After buying rice, Jiang Lin bought a bunch of other things at the grain station.
There was a department store next to it, so Jiang Lin bought a few bottles of vanishing cream and some lipstick.
Tan Lan saw the waiter recommend some ugly colors to Jiang Lin, which must be things that had been in stock.
I couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Lin: "Young man, the girls in the capital like this now, don't buy the one she recommended."
Jiang Lin paused as he was about to take out the money: "I'm not buying it for her. The little girl doesn't have to like it. Maybe her mother likes this."
Tan Lan choked and thought to herself, I don’t like it.
Jiang Lin didn't buy what the waiter recommended, and asked Tan Lan to help him choose: "Auntie, please help me find a few things that you would like at your age."
Tan Lan didn't need these things, so she only picked out two bottles of vanishing cream, a box of powder, and a lip gloss.
Tan Lan waited for him to finish shopping and asked him, "I'm going to buy groceries now, do you want to come with me?"
Jiang Lin nodded, it would definitely be convenient to have someone to lead the way.
He was going to the Su family for dinner, so he had to improve his impression of them. He couldn't just sit there and wait for food, thinking about his specialty dishes.
As I was thinking, I arrived at the place where meat was sold.
Jiang Lin went to the butcher's stall and ordered a rib and a piece of meat...
The supply here in the capital is really sufficient, much better than in the county town, and the service attitude is also good. You just need to give me money and a ticket, and they will cut any meat on the table, and you don't have to queue.
He carried the ribs and pork belly cut by the waiter, and seeing that Tan Lan didn't buy any, he didn't ask anything.
Then I went to the fishmongering place and bought a fish, and then went to the chickenmongering place and asked for a chicken.
Tan Lan has been observing Jiang Lin. He spends money quickly when buying things, as if he owns a mine at home.
Along the way, he had bought a lot of things, but Tan Lan still had nothing.
Jiang Lin was a little embarrassed: "Auntie, don't you need to buy groceries? Or you can go back first, I know the way."
Tan Lan glanced at what he had in his hand and said, "I just came out to buy flour. You don't need to buy anything else. I bought 50 kilograms of flour and I'll carry it back slowly. I live in the nearby military compound anyway..."
Jiang Lin was almost done shopping. When she heard her mention the military compound, her eyes flickered and she said, "That flour is 25 kilograms, it's really heavy. Why don't you wait a bit while I buy some vegetables and take it back for you on the way."
"Oh, you're on your way?" Tan Lan said happily. "That's great, but don't you have 25 kilograms of rice? Wouldn't that be a problem?"
"No." Jiang Lin said confidently, "This weight is not a big deal. If you hadn't brought me here, I would still be hanging around outside."
Jiang Lin bought some vegetables and went back to the grain and oil station with Tan Lan to get some things.
Tan Lan took the vegetables he bought and took them on her own initiative.
Jiang Lin asked the grain station for a hemp rope, tied the rice and flour together, and carried them directly on his shoulders.
Tan Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "The young man has a good physique."
Jiang Lin smiled but said nothing.
Because of Tan Lan, Jiang Lin followed her into the military compound and no one stopped him.
Jiang Lin asked, "Auntie, where is your home? I'll take you back."
"No hurry, there are still a few steps to go."
Jiang Lin thought he was going to walk over to Su Yuhe's house, but Tan Lan stopped immediately, pushed open the gate and walked in. She turned around and looked at Jiang Lin, who was stunned. She smiled and said, "This is my home. You still want to go to your partner's house? Just leave your things here."
Jiang Lin felt like he was struck by lightning. Isn't his luck too bad?
Meet your father-in-law in Dajiang Village, or run into your mother-in-law while buying vegetables?
His mind raced as he tried to recall whether he had done anything to tarnish his image.
Simply not.
It’s much better than the last time I met Su Zeming.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He put his things down and stood very straight: "You are Su Yuhe's mother, right? Hello, I'm Jiang Lin, I, I came to see Yuhe."
