After breakfast, Jinhua took her two children to buy groceries. When she saw her good friend Xionghua downstairs, she decided to go shopping with her mother again.
The panda has been clamoring for egg cake these past two days, but Jinhua has been lying to him and not buying him any.
Seeing the panda go, Jinhua hurriedly persuaded the panda to follow.
He also said that he would buy him the egg cake tomorrow.
The panda had been fooled a few times, and today he refused to believe Jinhua no matter what she said. He held the corner of her clothes tightly with one little hand and refused to let go.
Jinhua had no choice but to take him away.
As I was walking, a female voice suddenly came from behind me, "Sister-in-law, are you going to buy groceries?"
Jinhua looked back and saw a beautiful girl in a dress.
She went over it in her mind, making sure she knew her.
"Sister-in-law, has Captain Xiong's foot felt better these past two days?"
Xiong Liang accidentally sprained his ankle during training the day before yesterday, and it is swollen and painful.
"Comrade, may I ask who you are?"
The other party smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are Captain Xiong's lover, right? You are Chu Xia, a doctor at the military hospital. You treated Captain Xiong when he was injured the day before yesterday."
"Oh, you are the daughter of Teacher Chu Xiachu?"
Chu Xia nodded. It seemed that her father's name was more famous than hers.
Jinhua did know Teacher Chu. Several years ago, when Teacher Chu was not feeling well, she and Xiong Liang went to the hospital to see him.
As for Chu Xia, Jinhua had heard people in the compound talking about her. Everyone said she was beautiful, and seeing was believing. She was indeed a great beauty.
As for the fact that she was interested in Lu Chengchuan, she had also heard a few words from the wives of military officers.
As for whether it is true or not, she will know it.
But if you ask her, Chu Xia is so beautiful, has a good job, and comes from a good family. She thinks Lu Chengchuan, who came from the countryside, is a good match for this girl.
Maybe those people are just spreading rumors.
"I heard from the wives of the soldiers in the courtyard that Commander Chu's daughter is beautiful. Today I finally got to see her in person. She is so beautiful.
The kid in our family is still praising you, saying that your medical skills are very bad. After you treated him the other day, he has gotten much better. "
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Are you planning to go buy groceries with your child?"
Jinhua nodded. "We have to have vegetables for every meal. We have to go to the farmers' market every day."
"Sister-in-law, we are on the same path. I want to take a break today and buy some food to cook a meal for my parents myself."
"Oh, it turns out that a beautiful girl like you can cook. It's really rare."
"Look at what my sister-in-law said. She's not some rich lady, she's just an ordinary person. It's not a rare thing for her to be able to cook.
Sister-in-law, your son is chubby and handsome..."
The two walked towards the farmers' market, praising each other all the way.
When Jinhua heard people praising her son's good looks, she immediately became delighted.
"This child takes after his father, he is strong and healthy..."
As soon as they arrived at the farmers' market, the panda pulled his mother's arm and walked towards the cake stall.
Jinhua told him that they should buy the cakes first after buying the vegetables. Pandas wouldn't dare to make trouble in a crowded place, so he had to agree first.
Chu Xia also followed Jin Hua all the time. Whenever she saw her buying vegetables, she would buy some too.
When we finished buying the food and were about to leave, the panda started calling us again.
"Mom, you want to eat egg cake, buy you some egg cake."
Cakes and pastries were very expensive at that time, and Jinhua was really willing to spend money to buy those practical foods.
Just when he was about to fool him again, Chu Xia suddenly said something.
"Let's go buy it now."
After saying that, Chu Xia walked towards the pastry shop, holding the vegetable basket in one hand and holding the panda in the other.
Jinhua felt embarrassed after seeing this and hurriedly followed.
"Comrade, please order us an egg cake. Oh, and one of the peach cakes, too."
When Jinhua heard Chuxia ask the waiter to weigh another serving of peach pastry, she immediately became anxious.
"Well...comrade, I'll just order an egg cake. I'd better order the peach cake first."
"Don't listen to her, just go ahead."
Chu Xia said to the waiter, and then to Jinhua, "Sister-in-law, children like to eat these desserts, so buy some for him and let him satisfy his craving."
"But... this... this is a bit too much. It would be a pity if it goes bad after he finishes eating it. I'd better order an egg cake."
Jinhua wanted to insist, but the waiter was getting impatient.
"Do you want some peach cakes? Hurry up, people are waiting to buy them."
"Listen, I want them all." Chu Xia's tone no longer tolerated the waiter's questioning.
Likewise, Jinhua no longer had the nerve to ask for it.
The waiter quickly weighed the snacks and put them in paper.
"A total of two yuan and two wool"
When Jinhua heard the waiter tell her the amount, her heart ached.
She is used to being frugal and her daily living expenses have never exceeded one yuan.
She felt like they were sucking her blood to spend so much money on these two snacks.
But the waiter has already prepared it, so you can go there if you want.
She gritted her teeth and took out a big reunion ticket and a grain coupon from her pocket. When she was about to hand them over, she didn't expect Chu Xia to hand the money over before her.
"Comrade Chu, you... this... should be left to 놖付?"
Although Jinhua loves to take advantage, she doesn't dare to take advantage of Teacher Chu's daughter.
Teacher Chu is her husband's top superior. If Chu Xia goes back and complains to her father, will her husband be in any good situation?
"Waiter, please return this comrade's money to her. She paid for it herself and received it."
This was the first time in Jinhua's thirty-plus years of life that she rushed to pay the bill.
The waiter was too lazy to pay attention to them and said that since she had sold the items, she should just take the money back, no matter who paid for it.
She took the money from Chu Xia's hand and quickly gave her some change.
Jinhua still insisted on paying, and the waiter rolled his eyes at her and said, "Hurry up and leave after you buy your things. Don't delay your work here."
Jinhua looked back and saw that there were indeed several people standing behind her waiting to buy cakes. Chuxia had already walked away with the panda.
She had no choice but to get up and leave.
After walking a few steps forward, I saw Chu Xia squatting there, taking a piece of peach cake from the two cakes and giving it to the panda.
She couldn't help but feel confused.
Why did this Chu Xia suddenly get close to her?
She even spent so much money on food for the children. Could she have some other motive?
Recalling that Xiong Liang had gone to see her the day before yesterday, he came back with a very enthusiastic praise for Chuxia, saying that she was not only a good doctor, but also beautiful and soft-spoken.
She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she suddenly feels that these compliments seem a bit too much.
Could it be that the two of them carried her...
Jinhua dared not think about it again. If that were the case, it would be the end of her life.
