Lin Ziyan had no idea what the landlady was thinking.
She had already arrived at the entrance of the Friendship Store under the scorching sun.
There were people in uniforms greeting guests at the entrance, and the lights inside were on, making the whole place very bright.
Welcome!
Lin Ziyan saw a man in a gray suit walk in. The greeter at the door smiled and said something.
She followed him inside.
He was given a disapproving look as soon as he reached the door, and someone muttered, "How dare this person, dressed so poorly, come in?"
"Since the restrictions were lifted, anyone can come and shop at the Friendship Store."
Lin Ziyan stopped in her tracks and gave the gossiping waiters a cold look.
She went straight to the service desk and asked, "Excuse me, may I store my things here?"
"Anything but food and animals is fine," said the woman at the service desk, who had on exquisite makeup and a smile on her face.
Lin Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, put the book on the service desk, and stretched her arms.
"Please help me store these books," she said with a slight smile.
"Okay." The lady at the service desk smiled as she registered her and gave her a sign.
Lin Ziyan took the sign and walked inside, ignoring the surprised look on the faces of the waiters next to her.
She had barely stepped inside when a group of people who had been discussing it at the door gathered around her.
"Xiaolan, what did she save?"
"Could it be some kind of fabric?"
They all looked at him with disdain.
Having worked at the Friendship Store for a long time, they naturally began to feel superior to others.
In addition, their relatives, upon hearing that he worked at the Friendship Store, all cast envious glances and fawned over him, which made them even more smug.
"If you have nothing to do, go and familiarize yourselves with the goods." Xiaolan ignored them.
She can sit at the service desk for long periods of time while working, so she must have good eyesight.
Most of the people who enter the Friendship Store are either rich or noble, but most of the wealthy people in Fukushima dress modestly; she's seen that many times.
The girl who just left the book was storing books. She glanced at it and noticed that one of them was an English version, which looked expensive.
"Xiao Lan..." The group pleaded a few more times, but seeing that she remained unmoved, they didn't dare to continue pestering her.
Xiaolan's aunt is the manager of the Friendship Store; they can't afford to offend her.
…
Lin Ziyan browsed around and found shampoo and hair gel. She gasped when she saw the prices.
A small bottle costs over 20 yuan, and you also need a foreign exchange check.
She thought about it and decided to go home and make soap.
It's so hot, and everyone in my family takes a shower every day. This little bottle won't last more than a few days.
“Those few small jars you bought cost several hundred yuan. Your grandma will definitely nag you when you get back.”
Lin Ziyan frowned. How come she heard Lu Yunshen's voice?
She looked up.
Standing next to Lu Yun Shen was a stylishly dressed woman wearing a floral dress.
My hair was permed into the Hong Kong style curls.
Those almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, with long, curled eyelashes.
"Lin Ziyan." Lu Yunshen sensed someone staring at them, looked up, and called out.
Lin Ziyan nodded to him and then turned and left.
They come from two different worlds; it's best if they don't get involved.
However, she didn't feel inferior or anything; she just felt that it was enough for men to appreciate her, otherwise it would be a waste of energy.
"Someone you know?" Lu Yunshen's sister, Lu Qiuying, asked suspiciously.
She saw his back but couldn't make out his face.
"A little girl from a fishing village," Lu Yunshen said casually.
He felt a little bitter. In the past, young girls would always try to seduce him, but now they avoided him like the plague.
Lu Qiuying glanced at her younger brother; there weren't many women whose names she could remember.
Most of them were considered comrades-in-arms by his brother.
Are you ready yet?
“You don’t need any of this when you go to the small fishing village,” Lu Yunshen asked impatiently.
Lu Qiuying, "..."
…
evening,
The sky was ablaze with orange-red sunset clouds, hidden beneath the dark clouds, like an unfinished oil painting.
Lin Ziyan rode back to the village in Grandpa Chen's oxcart, feeling like her whole body was about to fall apart.
"Ayan!"
The chubby girl was waiting at the village entrance, with a bicycle propped up beside her. Was she there to pick her up?
A warm feeling washed over Lin Ziyan, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"If you don't come back soon, Grandma will be waiting for you at the village entrance." The chubby girl took the book from her hand, stumbled, and almost fell.
So heavy?
The chubby girl tied the book to the back of her bicycle and pushed it along.
Lin Ziyan put the mung bean cakes she was holding into the basket on the front of the cart, freeing her hands.
She rubbed her shoulders; they were very sore.
Lin Ziyan thought to herself that her hands would be incredibly sore when she woke up tomorrow.
"Oh right, Grandma Lan came looking for you earlier." The chubby girl slapped her forehead, realizing she had almost forgotten about it.
Grandma Lan looked quite anxious; she couldn't find Ayan and was pacing back and forth in the yard.
"Okay, I'll go find her after I finish eating." Lin Ziyan's eyes flickered as she thought of the blueprints.
The two chatted for a few minutes and arrived home shortly afterward.
"Don't rush off, eat some mung bean cake before you go back." Lin Ziyan pulled the chubby girl and led her into the courtyard.
The third sister was sitting at the stone table, drawing something.
The second sister is diligently doing her homework.
"Come and eat some mung bean cake!" Lin Ziyan called out, and her third sister, Jiaojiao, immediately threw down her pen and ran towards her.
The second sister, Xiaoxiao, only glanced up once before continuing to do her homework.
The chubby girl had already run to the kitchen and brought out a plate.
When Lin Ziyan placed the mung bean cakes on the white plate,
"Sister, so pretty!" Jiaojiao clapped her hands and shouted happily.
The chubby girl didn't notice and directly put a piece in her mouth, saying indistinctly, "Delicious..."
Lin Ziyan only ate a small piece, finding it too sweet, and didn't continue eating.
But the other three ate happily.
Xiaoxiao also saved two pieces for her great-grandmother.
On the other side
After getting out of the car, Lu Qiuying glanced at the sky and instantly felt a sense of relief.
She suddenly understood why her grandparents didn't want to return to Beijing.
Looking at the sea and such beautiful sunsets every day, who would want to go back to Beijing to see a gray, gloomy sky?
"What are you standing there for? Let's go."
“Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for us to eat. If you hadn’t been wandering around the city, we wouldn’t have come back so late.” Lu Yunshen took a few steps with his suitcase, then turned back and said when he saw that Lu Qiuying hadn’t followed.
"I'm not just buying for myself, but also for my grandparents and maternal grandparents..."
Lu Qiuying followed with light steps.
Walking on the stone-paved path, Lu Qiuying admired the walls of the fishing village, layer upon layer, with seashells and other debris mixed in.
After going around several corners, Lu Qiuying finally saw her grandfather waiting at the door.
"Qiuying..." Old Man He called out.
Compared to Lu Yunshen, Old Man He preferred this clever and mischievous granddaughter.
Qiu Ying looks just like the old lady when she was young.
"Grandpa!" Lu Qiuying ran over and gently put her arm around the old man's shoulder.
"Come in quickly, your grandma cooked a lot of seafood, all of your favorites..."
