Chapter 120 Why didn’t you call back
at the Garden Hotel?
Zuo Kai called several times but failed to contact Zheng Jingyi. He walked around Zuo Qiuming’s office, restless.
Qin Lan smiled and said, "Xiao Kai, you go buy a mobile phone for Jingyi tomorrow, so as not to see you hanging around here and annoying me."
Zuo Qiuming looked at his son with a cold face, shook his head, and took it from the desk drawer. He took out a brand new rectangular box and said, "No, I have a new mobile phone here. It hasn't been opened yet. You can give it to Xiao Zheng."
In the early 1990s, a few wealthy people used mobile phones, produced by Motorola. , the price is 20,000 yuan per unit. Most people use pagers, also called coll machines. Each one costs more than 2,000 yuan, which is already very impressive.
For the Zuo family, Big Brother is a walking communication tool. Everyone has one, even the old grandmother has one.
Zuo Kai happily took the box and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
For such an expensive big brother, Zuo Kai gave it away as soon as he asked, which shows how much he values his future daughter-in-law.
Besides,
Zheng Jingyi, mother and daughter were shopping. It was rare for the three of them to go shopping. They were in a very good mood. They ate and walked together.
It happened that the Jiangshi Cinema was playing the movie "Ju Dou". Zheng Jingyi had long heard that this was a big movie. The director's movie, so to speak, dragged my mother and aunt into the cinema.
I heard it was a movie by a great director. It was the weekend, and many people came to support it.
Zheng Jingyi waited in line for a long time and bought three tickets for the middle seats.
The show started in about ten minutes, so the three of them went upstairs again. After walking around for a while, she just walked upstairs. The sweet smell of popcorn made her unable to walk.
Without saying a word, she went to buy three buckets of popcorn and water and handed it to her mother,
"Spending money indiscriminately again. I don’t know how to save." Zheng Juan said angrily. After taking a bite, it tasted okay.
Zheng Hua smiled and said, "Sister, Jingyi is taking care of us elderly people. We also enjoy life. Young people eat popcorn while watching movies like this. I think it's delicious!"
Looking at the time, the three of them are almost there. After entering the cinema,
Zheng Juan sighed, "I haven't been to a cinema for almost ten years. I never imagined that cinemas today are so high-end and have such big screens!"
"Ju Dou" is a feature film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li and Li Baotian. , the film tells the story of women's struggle for survival and love under the oppression of feudal ethics, and profoundly reveals the complexity of human nature and the cruelty of society.
After watching the movie, she followed the crowd out of the cinema and asked, "Mom, was the movie good?"
"How should I put it, it was okay!" Zheng Juan didn't like this kind of movies about human ethics and depression, "I just like to watch comedies from the past. Movies, "Look at This Family", "Them and Her"...those old movies from the past are so good! "
People of the older generation still miss the past.
"Okay, I've watched a movie, eaten, and drank. Let's go home!" Zheng Jingyi lowered her head suddenly, "The pager is out of battery? Let's go back quickly!" "Let's go home." Sit down
.
On the bus, Zheng Jingyi looked at her pager from time to time and had to go back quickly to recharge the battery.
She was restless along the way. Firstly, she was worried that she would not receive news from the unit in time, and secondly, she was worried that Zuo Kai and his friends were looking for her.
After finally entering the house, the first thing she did was to charge the battery of her pager. As soon as it was charged, several messages came beeping, it was Zuo Kai who was looking for her.
She hurriedly called back. There was a ring, and Zuo Kai's voice came immediately,
"Zuo Kai? Are you looking for me?"
"You finally called me back. Where did you go this afternoon?" On the other end of the phone, it was Zuo Kai who was anxious. You can imagine how anxious he was at this moment.
"My mom and my aunt and I went shopping together, and the pager was out of battery. I just got home and recharged it. I'm sorry!" Zheng Jingyi felt faintly touched.
In addition to her family, there was someone who cared about her so much. This feeling , not for a long time.
"You haven't called me back, and I'm dying! Just come back," Zuo Kai raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. "It's three o'clock in the afternoon. You have a good rest. I'll pick you up at the hotel for dinner at five o'clock."
Zheng Jingyi asked hurriedly, "Why did you go to the hotel to eat? Who are there?"
Zuo Kai said, "Oh, nothing happened. I just wanted to have a family dinner together."
"Okay, I'm so tired from shopping, I'm going to take a nap. "See
you later!" "Okay, go to bed. I'll park the car at the door of your community at five o'clock."
After lunch, the three of them came out. After walking for almost an afternoon, Zheng Jingyi's legs were almost useless. I'm exhausted. I urgently need to go to bed and lie down to recharge my batteries.
After lying down for a while, she fell asleep.
Zheng Juan walked in and saw her daughter taking a rare nap. She quietly lowered the curtains, closed the door and went out.
At half past four, Zheng Jingyi was woken up by the alarm clock. Thinking of Zuo Kai coming to pick her up right away, she jumped up and rushed to the mirror to dress up.
She was suspicious. It was not the New Year or the festival, so why did the Zuo family have to get together for dinner today? ? Are you still rushing to find her?
There was no time for her to think too much. She simply and quickly touched up her makeup and changed into a particularly elegant black waist-length dress. She tied a red hair rope into a ponytail and put on the gift Zuo Kai gave her. She was wearing a gold necklace and carrying a red bag and was about to go out.
"Going out again?" Zheng Juan had just rested and saw her daughter changing her clothes and couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, I have something to do and I have to go out to eat. I will definitely be back before 10:30 in the evening."
Zheng Juan shouted after her, "Slow down! Pay attention to safety!"
Zheng Jingyi walked out of the gate of the community and saw Zuo Kai's black Mercedes parked there. roadside.
Zuo Kai, who was wearing a classic white shirt, looked at Jingyi with a smile and hurriedly opened the door.
Zheng Jingyi got in the car. She liked to see Zuo Kai in white the most. In her eyes, Zuo Kai in white looked like Prince Charming. Pianpian, "How long have you been here?"
"Just five minutes. You don't have to apologize. It's normal for men to wait for women. This is what I should do." Zuo Kai smiled and could see that he was in a good mood.
"Glib tongue!" Zheng Juan smiled with curved eyes and long eyelashes.
The car drove towards the Garden Hotel and arrived at the hotel door in seven or eight minutes.
Zuo Kai took Zheng Jingyi's hand and walked into the elevator, looked at her with a smile and said nothing, and pressed the button for the restaurant on the third floor.
"Ding", the third floor arrived, the two walked out of the elevator, Zuo Kai still held Zheng Jingyi's hand, and the two walked into a large private room.
The food hadn't been served yet, so the two of them arrived just in time.
Zheng Jingyi first saw the smiling grandma Zuo Kai, and quickly ran up and hugged her, "Hello, grandma!"
Zuo Kai and Jingyi surrounded her left and right, "Grandma, do you remember her?"
Grandma looked at her. Looking at Jingyi and then at Zuo Kai, he smiled from ear to ear, "Grandma, I have a good memory! Just now I was thinking about where you were, and your mother said you were going to pick up Jingyi. Isn't this Jingyi?" ! Come on, you two sit next to me."
