The day after Zhou Jing'an left for work, Jiang Ling asked Chen Qing to look for a shop. She ran a nail salon herself and knew people in this field, so asking her to do this would make things much easier.
Sure enough, within three days, Chen Qing brought good news to Jiang Ling.
"Shangya Road, a street west of Qingbin Road." Chen Qing introduced it to her: "It's close to your home and convenient, but the stores are a bit bigger. Also, the area around you is full of high-end residential areas, so the rent is expensive."
"The other one is on Huarong Street, in Nancheng District, which is considered the southeastern part of Beijing. It's also by the sea. The store is smaller than that one and is surrounded by old residential areas, so the rent is lower."
Chen Qing let her choose for herself.
Jiang Ling couldn't choose for the moment, so she asked her to take it with her to have a look.
She deliberately chose a time when Zhou Jing'an was not busy to call him via video, take him to view the house online, and ask for his opinion. After all, it was his job.
After looking at the two shops, Zhou Jingan made a decision: "Let's choose the one on Shangya Road."
"Although we are open to all ages and genders, most people who sign up to learn martial arts are probably teenagers. Not only are there fewer customers on Huarong Street, but those who can afford to take classes are also well-off, so there are many potential customers here. The store is small and old, and if we want to use it, we need to renovate it. I'm confident that we can enroll a lot of students, so we might as well rent a larger store to avoid having to move in the future."
After these words, Chen Qing and Jiang Ling both nodded.
"Your husband has good ideas and is not stupid," she said with a smile.
Jiang Ling also laughed and asked him, "Are you so confident?"
Zhou Jing'an nodded and said with a smile, "Besides, Huarong Street is too far from home. Shangya Road is better. It's not too far from you."
Hearing this, Chen Qing touched her arm, as if she had goose bumps. She wanted to take back what she had just said. This kid was clearly in love.
Jiang Ling felt a little embarrassed when she saw her teasing expression, so she leaned in and whispered, "Okay, okay, then let's rent this, and you go get busy."
As she was about to hang up the phone, he stopped her.
"Wait." He leaned closer to the screen, looked at her and whispered, "Where's the kiss?"
Not only is he slowly getting used to mobile phones and the Internet, he has also learned from others the rule of kissing someone before hanging up the phone.
Jiang Ling blushed slightly, moved away and blew him a kiss, "Okay, okay, hang up now."
Zhou Jing'an was satisfied, and kissed her, then smiled and waited for her to hang up the phone.
Jiang Ling put away her phone and turned around to see Chen Qing looking at her meaningfully.
"What's wrong?" She blinked and touched her nose embarrassedly.
Chen Qing narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "Stay away from me when you call me in the future. I can't stand the stimulation."
Jiang Ling laughed, went over and took her arm, and asked her when they could sign the contract. Chen Qing said that the owner would not have time to come back until after the new year, so they could only sign it then.
Fortunately, Jiang Ling and the others are not in a hurry and can wait.
After Zhou Jing'an returned to Beijing, she took him to see it again. He was very satisfied and waited to decide on it after the New Year.
The New Year is approaching and the streets are becoming bustling. Jiang Ling took a New Year's holiday and drove the two of them to a nearby town. There were food and entertainment options, mountains and water, and even a homestay. They planned to stay there for a few days.
Jiang Ling booked a homestay near the mountain. When she opened the window, she could face the mountain with a broad view. Not far below was the small town market, which was very lively.
It was already evening when the three of them arrived. They went out to eat the local famous stone pot fish and took a walk to help digest the food.
Even though night falls, the town is still bustling with activity. There are all kinds of games on the snack street, such as hitting balloons and tossing rings, for fun.
Seeing Zhou Xian unable to walk while looking at a stuffed bear, Jiang Ling paid Zhou Jing'an to try to win it back by shooting the balloon with a gun.
"Give it a try. It's okay if you miss. Let Ah Xian enjoy watching." Jiang Ling patted Zhou Jing'an's shoulder and pointed to a stall nearby. "I'm going to buy three cups of sour plum soup."
She ignored it after she finished speaking. After paying and waiting for the boss to pack up, she heard someone scream next to her. She ignored it, took the three cups of sour plum soup and went back to find the two people. However, she was stunned after taking only two steps.
Zhou Jing'an and Zhou Xian, one big and one small, were standing there looking at her. The father and son held various dolls of different sizes in their hands. Zhou Xian was holding the big bear and smiling. Zhou Jing'an's hands were almost full of small dolls, and he also looked at her with a faint smile.
Jiang Ling was stunned, then walked over with eyes wide open in surprise, "Oh my god, you are so amazing!"
She paid for three rounds, intending to let Zhou Jingan play for a while, and then she would take over when she came back. She was not sure she could beat the big bear, but beating the little duck was still possible.
I didn't expect this guy to be so good at it right from the start, which saved her the trouble of making a fool of herself.
She moved closer and found that many people were looking at her. They were indeed eye-catching. She thought that the exclamation just now was related to Zhou Jingan.
Jiang Ling asked the boss for a big bag and put all the little dolls in it. She then let Zhou Xian hold the big bear, as he liked it so much that he didn't want to let go.
Zhou Jing'an held the bag in one hand and picked up Zhou Xian with the other, while the hand holding the bag was still protecting Jiang Ling behind his back.
"There are a lot of people here, so stay close to me." He said with his head down.
Jiang Ling smiled and said yes, holding up the sour plum soup for him to drink, "It tastes good to me, would you like to try it?"
Zhou Jingan took two sips from the straw and nodded, "It tastes good."
"Mom, I want to drink too." Zhou Xian reached out and grabbed it.
Jiang Ling raised the corner of her mouth, handed the straw to his mouth, watched him take a few sips and asked him if it tasted good.
Zhou Xian stuck out his tongue and frowned, "Sour..."
"Hahaha." Jiang Ling and Zhou Jing'an laughed out loud.
