Chapter 19 Going Out to Buy Books
Speaking of Yan Chengan, Yu Lihong became even more excited: "Speaking of the grandsons of the Yan family, he is the only one with a promising future! He started working very early, but as for what kind of work he does..."
Hang Jingshu listened attentively to what Yu Lihong said, but she grinned and spat out two words, "Keep it a secret!"
…
It turned out to be from a state confidentiality unit.
That……
Hang Jingshu turned his head to look at the living room. This job was like a mysterious dragon that disappeared without a trace. Not to mention the people at home, he probably wouldn't even be able to find the person next to him in the future.
Can a delicate lady like Su Xiangwan bear to be alone in an empty house for half her life?
As the sun was setting, Hang Jingshu was ready to be criticized for his dinner, but he found that Grandma Yan stood up and started to see the guests off.
"Xiao Su, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. The property over there is very troublesome. I will ask Cheng'an to handle it when he comes back," Grandma Yan said in a soft voice.
Su Xiangwan smiled shyly, "Grandma, this is not a big deal. I can go with Cheng'an to do it. After all, I am quite familiar with the place."
Grandma Yan just nodded slightly and said nothing. "It's getting dark. Go back and be careful."
After seeing Su Xiangwan off, Hang Jingshu went to the living room to clear away the cups and plates and discovered that only a little coffee had been poured into Grandma Yan's cup.
I guess he didn’t like the taste, as the snack plate was left untouched.
However, seeing that the two seemed to be talking happily, Hang Jingshu was a little confused. Did Grandma Yan like Su Xiangwan or not?
If the snacks were left there any longer, they would probably not taste good. Hang Jingshu was unsure, so he decided to ask, "Grandma Yan, should we put the snacks away?"
It’s very humid in the summer, and if this crispy snack is not stored properly, it will become unpalatable the next day.
Grandma Yan was standing by the window admiring the view. She paused for a moment before answering, "You and Xiao Yu can share it."
Yu Lihong had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing this, she immediately took action and smiled as she grabbed half of the plate and shared it with him. "Xiao Hang, I won't take advantage of you. Let's each have half."
After pouring out the coffee and washing the cups and plates, Hang Jingshu began to prepare dinner.
The weather at the end of August has gradually become cooler, and there is a breeze at night, and opening the window brings a unique sense of leisure and comfort.
The lights in the room were dim. Hang Jingshu was lying on the bed, but he began to worry about his parents and brother who were still on the road.
I don’t know whether their journey was smooth or not.
I don’t know what my brother’s university environment is like.
The brother and sister agreed yesterday that the first letter Hang Chenggang would write after arriving there must be to Hang Jingshu.
Hang Jingshu was excited when he thought about the 40 yuan salary in September.
I've even started thinking about what to buy when the time comes.
First, I'll buy some cloth for my parents to make some clothes, then buy two pairs of comfortable shoes for Father Hang, and for my eldest and second sisters...
The wool I bought two days ago is still stored in the cabinet beside the bed. I have to start knitting it in the next few days. After my brother sends me a letter and gives me his address, I can knit a scarf and send it to him first.
Hang Jingshu fell asleep while thinking. Perhaps it was because he had been busy all morning and listened to a lot of gossip in the afternoon, Hang Jingshu felt that he slept particularly well.
His body woke up according to his familiar biological clock. Hang Jingshu quietly opened the door and prepared to make breakfast.
When he finished breakfast and was cleaning up, he heard someone knocking on the door. Hang Jingshu went to open the door and found that the person was Wang Xiaowen.
"Xiao Wen?! Why did you come out at this time?" Hang Jingshu welcomed people in, and Wang Xiaowen greeted the two elderly people obediently.
"Good morning, Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan! I'm Wang Xiaowen from Teacher Wang's family, and I want to ask Xiaohang out!"
Wang Xiaowen has worked in the compound for quite some time and is very familiar with these elders. She is not at all stage-shy and waits with a smile for Grandma Yan's nod.
"Okay, just bring Xiaohang back at noon. You young people can have fun." Seeing that Hang Jingshu had no intention of refusing, Grandma Yan nodded in agreement.
Before going to bed last night, Hang Jingshu was still thinking about finding time to go out. Now that Wang Xiaowen came over, it made things much easier.
Only after coming out did Hang Jingshu understand Wang Xiaowen's purpose.
"You asked me to find out when Grandma Yan's grandson will be back?" Hang Jingshu looked at Wang Xiaowen suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"
Could it be that...
Seeing that Hang Jingshu's eyes were getting more and more strange, Wang Xiaowen quickly explained, "It's not me! It's not me! It's Qi Yanqiu. She is interested in Grandma Yan's grandson."
Hang Jingshu understood that excellent people are indeed infinitely charming.
As for using such a roundabout way.
I think Sister Hong also talked to me about this person yesterday afternoon.
Hang Jingshu and Wang Xiaowen walked out of the compound arm in arm, sharing gossip on the way.
Qi Yanqiu was Yan Cheng'an's high school classmate, and the two families could be considered old friends. However, because of previous activities, the Qi family was swept away by the tide of history and was only rehabilitated a few years ago.
Hang Jingshu nodded and summarized, they were former classmates.
Su Xiangwan was Grandma Yan's relative in Haicheng. She often played with Yan Chengan when she was young. They had even planned to have a child marriage, but the plan was shelved after Yan Chengan's mother had an accident.
Well, this is even more amazing, they are childhood sweethearts.
Hang Jingshu and Wang Xiaowen chatted casually: "The surname Qi is quite unique, I wonder which lacquer it is?"
"The lacquer in lacquer," Wang Xiaowen said in a clear voice, and the ending tone of her voice is always uplifting, which makes people happy to hear it.
Wow, even more unique.
"Then where shall we go?" The two of them left the military compound but were in trouble at the door.
Wang Xiaowen mainly wanted to pull Hang Jingshu out, but she didn't think about where to go.
"Hey, Xiaohang, where do you want to go?" Wang Xiaowen took Hang Jingshu's arm and shook it in a flattering manner.
"Why don't we go to the bookstore first? I just want to buy something," Hang Jingshu suggested after thinking about it.
The two hit it off immediately and took a ride directly to a textbook store.
Although this shop is not big, it has a constant flow of people coming and going, and some of its books are even on pre-sale.
Wang Xiaowen was not interested in these things. After talking to Hang Jingshu, she went to the boutique next door.
There are tall buildings everywhere, shops and small stalls are lined up in rows, everyone has a hopeful smile on their face, and the sound of bargaining can be heard faintly.
Hang Jingshu queued up and entered the bookstore, wanting to buy some exercise questions based on his weak points.
The big clock tower stands out among the buildings, making it very convenient for passers-by to check the time. Just by looking up, they can see the clock hands on the top of the building.
Further ahead there is a cinema, a large theater, and a large shopping mall that is currently under construction and is said to be equipped with escalators.
This land is full of vitality, and the renewal cycle can almost be counted in seconds.
Hang Jingshu was lucky; almost all the books he wanted to buy were still in stock.
While queuing, I heard that some parents would even queue up the night before in order to buy teaching materials for their children.
It’s never easy to be a parent!
Hang Jingshu didn't buy many books, but she emptied out her small treasury, which was made up of red envelopes given to her by Grandpa Yan's comrades.
Sure enough, books are the golden house~
