When the golden tripe was served, Zhang Xiaomei felt cheated!
There's no gold or money here, just a few pieces of stuff that look like honeycomb nets, which don't look like anything edible.
When Ana Shen saw that the golden tripe had been served, she moved it to the front of her seat and said, "My dear relatives, please try it. This golden tripe is particularly fresh, fragrant and refreshing. It's quite good."
Zhang Xiaomei looked at the tripe with confusion. Although she didn't know what it was made of, she picked up the chopsticks and reached for the tripe, thinking that she had ordered it.
After taking a bite, Zhang Xiaomei paused. This thing is still a bit hard to chew.
However, the honeycomb-like pattern is full of sauce, and you can taste the fresh and fragrant flavor when you put it in your mouth. It is crispy but not mushy when chewed.
It’s quite delicious.
No wonder it costs 99 cents per serving, it’s one cent more expensive than other things!
Although it tastes good, this golden money tripe is neither shaped like gold nor contains any money. Isn't it just a joke like the wife cake?
Ye Zhi also likes to eat this golden tripe, which is particularly chewy. She also reached out and took a piece to taste it.
Well, it is indeed a century-old brand, and the taste is exactly the same fresh and sweet.
Ye Zhi still remembers that she had come to this old shop to drink tea in her previous life. She loved going there to drink tea before. She could invite three or five friends to sit there from morning to afternoon. It was so much fun.
Now I am very happy sitting with my family, drinking tea and having breakfast.
Especially the two little ones, who have been sleeping since just now. Even though there is a lot of noise in the state-owned teahouse, it does not affect their sleep at all.
Lu Wei, who was standing by, watched Ye Zhi eating the steamed buns with a satisfied look on her face, then picked up a steamed bun for her and put it in her bowl.
Ye Zhi looked up at Lu Weiyi, then smiled and picked one for him as well, saying, "Eat something while they're asleep."
Lu Wei has always been a rough eater, but when he saw Ye Zhi pick up a steamed bun for him, he finished it in one bite.
After just a few bites, Sui Sui in his arms babbled. Lu Wei quickly put down his chopsticks and patted the little guy's butt. After a while, he fell back to sleep.
His wife was right. He should eat while the child was asleep.
When he was full, he could let Ye Zhi eat slowly. Ever since the two boys were born, Ye Zhi was always in a hurry whether eating or doing anything else, as if she was always afraid that the two children would cry and no one would pay attention to them.
Taking advantage of the free time today, Lu Wei thought she could relax with a good meal, go shopping and buy some of her favorite things.
Seeing Lu Wei coaxing the child, Ye Zhi scooped him half a bowl of leeks and pork blood, and also gave him a piece of carrot cake.
She remembered that Lu Wei didn't like sweet pastries very much.
Ye Zhi filled a bowl for him, then moved closer to him and whispered to him, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Lu Wei was tall. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Ye Zhi saw him eat 40 to 50 dumplings in one meal...
Lu Wei patted the child and chuckled, saying, "That's enough, no need to pick it up for me, just eat slowly."
After saying that, Lu Wei realized that the little Sui Sui in his arms had woken up. He yawned lazily with his mouth open, looking sleepy and very cute.
Ye Zhi also noticed that Sui Sui had woken up, and quickly patted him twice, saying, "I'm almost full, I'll come and comfort him later."
Lu Wei held down her hand holding the chopsticks and said, "Sui Sui is not making a fuss, just eat slowly."
Lu Wei felt very distressed. Ye Zhi could have enjoyed the food before, but now she had to take care of the child first.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, that’s true, Suisui is much more well behaved and rarely cries. He probably just woke up and shouldn’t be hungry yet.
He also opened his bright black eyes and looked at the big red lantern above his head.
Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the state-owned teahouses were filled with many bright red and purple lanterns, which looked very festive.
Children also like to grab things with bright colors. At this moment, Sui Sui is waving his arms and trying to grab them. But how could he catch it? He grabbed Lu Wei's chin. Because he hadn't had time to trim his nails, he left a thin red mark on Lu Wei's jaw.
I thought Lu Wei would be angry, but the next second Lu Wei just took out a handkerchief and wiped Sui Sui's fingers and palms with great concentration, and said with a bit of disgust: "A handful of saliva."
Ye Zhi couldn't help but smile. Lu Wei always liked to say something that showed his disdain for them.
But in the past few months, I have changed their diapers when necessary and coaxed them to sleep when necessary. In fact, I really love these two children.
Before Ye Zhi finished eating, Nian Nian in her arms woke up.
After having tea and snacks, they went to a nearby state-owned shopping mall together.
There are all kinds of shops on this street. In addition to the state-owned teahouse, there is also the largest state-owned shopping mall in Guangzhou. It is five stories high and very large.
I heard that there is a hotel nearby that receives foreign guests, so there are a lot of foreign trade products here.
Zhang Xiaomei was still thinking about the 99-cent plate of tripe. After finishing it, she felt a little guilty. It was too expensive!
A few pieces of food cost 99 cents. I should have cooked them myself at home. Even if I bought pork, it would cost more than that.
So all the way to the mall, Zhang Xiaomei looked absent-minded.
Ye Zhi originally wanted to take Zhang Xiaomei to buy some clothes and shoes, but Zhang Xiaomei seemed to have no energy and she didn't know if she was tired.
While Ye Zhi was protecting the child's head, she looked at Zhang Xiaomei beside her and said, "Mom, let me buy you some new clothes."
Zhang Xiaomei waved her hand and said, "No, no, I have clothes."
Thinking that the meal just now cost only 15 yuan, Zhang Xiaomei now plans to skip meals for two days to save back the money.
Why are you still thinking about buying clothes or shoes?
Ye Zhi thought that she could just pick out the clothes for her later and buy them directly. The older generation would never be willing to spend so much money on clothes. Besides, there was a sewing machine at home, so it was unlikely for her to buy clothes from outside.
So Ye Zhi didn’t ask her again, but went to a counter selling electrical appliances on the first floor with Ana Shen first, and she said she had something very important to buy.
Lu Wei asked curiously, "What other electrical appliances do we need at home?"
Lu Wei remembered that the house had almost everything, electric fans, radios and so on, so what else did he need to buy?
Ana Shen’s footsteps had already walked over there, her eyes fell on a black rectangular camera in the glass counter and she said, “I want to buy a camera.”
"camera?"
Ana Shen smiled and said, “I bought this for you. Your father and I are busy with work, and you are far away in Qiongzhou Island. We can’t see your growth process year after year, so I plan to buy you a camera. I want you to take more pictures of them and send them to us after you have developed them.”
Ana Shen also found someone from the newspaper office to exchange a few tickets, so she planned to buy them a camera, so that they wouldn't have to go to the photo studio and wait to take a photo. Lu Wei's work was busy, so if he had a day off, he might as well stay at home and spend time with his children and wife.
Ye Zhi thought she was talking about her own use, but Ana Shen said she wanted to buy them a camera.
Ana Shen added: “I just went to the photo studio and found that it took too much time, so I might as well spend some money and buy one myself.”
Anyway, their family can afford the money. If Lu Wei hadn't stopped her from buying it, she would have planned to buy them some more electric fans.
However, Lu Wei said that the island only supplies electricity for three or four hours a day, so it is still hot when sleeping at night.
It is easy to spoil if left alone, so I might as well wait until there are no restrictions on electricity use in the military camp and then buy them for them.
Lu Wei listened to Shen Nanzhen's words and felt that it was true. He wiped the saliva from Sui Sui's mouth, looked at the several cameras in the glass cabinet, and said, "I also think it would be more convenient to buy a camera, but we'll pay for the camera, and you just give me the ticket, mom."
Ye Zhi held Nian Nian's little feet, fearing that someone would bump into her. When she heard Lu Wei say this, she agreed, "Mom, you've already given a lot of money. Lu Wei is right. We just need to buy the camera."
Shen Nanzhen gave them money when the child was born. Although Shen Nanzhen has saved a lot over the years, she is still an old lady, especially since Shen Nanzhen is still alone in Yangcheng, so she still needs some money to support herself.
Besides, Ye Zhi had wanted a camera for a long time.
Especially every time I go to the beach, I really want to take pictures.
The sunset at the seaside is so beautiful.
Ana Shen paused, then smiled and said, “Okay, since you all say so, what can I say?”
Now that Lu Wei has asked for it, she will definitely not be the one to pay the bill.
Soon, Lu Wei and Ye Zhi chose a Pearl River brand camera. With this camera, they no longer have to go to a photo studio.
Especially the photo studio on Qiongzhou Island, there is only one in the entire county, and if you want to take a photo, you will probably waste most of the day.
It would be much more convenient if I had a camera.
Not only can it record the growth of the child, but it can also take photos of his wife!
Every time he went on a mission or a cruise, Lu Wei would carry with him the photo they took when they got married. The photo was gray, and it always felt a little weird.
In a couple of days, when the photos he took today are posted online, he will carry them with him every day.
After buying the camera, they went to the second floor where clothes were sold. It must be said that Guangzhou is indeed an important city for light textile processing, and there are all kinds of clothes.
Moreover, the entire second floor is dedicated to selling clothes, which are divided into different areas, for gays, lesbians, and children, with all styles ranging from summer to winter clothes.
Ye Zhi looked at the dazzling array of clothes and was immediately aroused to buy.
She didn't want to buy it at first, after all, she had just spent so much money on food and bought a camera.
You won’t know until you buy it, it turns out that cameras of this era are really expensive!
It actually cost more than 300 yuan, which was almost three months’ salary for Lu Wei…
So after buying the camera, Ye Zhi had no desire to buy anything else. She just wanted to buy two sets of clothes for her mother and Lu Wei's mother and go back early.
But at this moment, looking at the various little skirts, Ye Zhi couldn't take her eyes off them.
It’s all because I wore maternity clothes during the ten months of pregnancy and more than three months after giving birth, so now I really want to try some pretty little skirts.
Lu Wei didn't know if he saw through her thoughts, he directly took a blue and white dress and a pink and white dress from the hanger and handed them to her, saying: "Try it on, it should look good on you."
Ye Zhi has a fair complexion, so even if she wears pink or blue, she doesn't look dark. Instead, she looks more energetic.
Lu Wei still remembered that Ye Zhi wore a red dress during the Chinese New Year, which was also very beautiful. Then he took out two red floral dresses for her and said, "Try them together."
Ye Zhi looked at the clothes that Lu Wei handed over, was stunned for a moment, then glanced at him and said, "No, I don't plan to buy them, put them back."
She now wears open-collared clothes every day. It would be a bit inconvenient if she wore a skirt.
However, there are two skirts with buttons on the upper part, which look quite suitable at the moment.
Seeing this, Ana Shen also took two dresses with open collars and said, “I think Xiaozhi looks good in yellow, it’s more youthful.”
In fact, Ye Zhi is only 24 years old. Although many people of this age have become mothers, Ye Zhi still looks like a girl. '
At this age, you should wear nicer clothes. Besides, being a mother is not a prisoner, so you still need to dress up.
Ana Shen now looks at her as if she were her own daughter, making up for the regret of not having a daughter and buying her a little skirt to dress her up, especially since her daughter-in-law is so beautiful, she has to dress up even more.
Ye Zhi chuckled and said, "Mom, there's really no need. I haven't worn the clothes I made last year yet."
Zhang Xiaomei smiled and said, "You should buy it. I've never seen such beautiful clothes before. It will definitely look good on you. Try it on."
I heard that you can try on clothes here. It is the first time Zhang Xiaomei has seen such a state-owned shopping mall.
When she was in town, if she touched ready-made clothes, the salesmen would roll their eyes at her, as they disliked her for dirtying the clothes.
Just as I was thinking this, the salesperson at the counter said, "You can choose first. Try the ones you want to buy. If you don't want to buy, don't try them."
The salesperson watched them take several items at once, and even if they bought one, she would only buy one, so she would have to clean up later.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaomei and Shen Nanzhen both frowned and looked over, only to see a rather impatient female comrade standing next to the clothes rack, wearing the work clothes of a shopping mall employee.
Shen Nanzhen has been in Yangcheng for so many years, and has never been treated so rudely, especially to her daughter-in-law. Shen Nanzhen snorted and said, "Comrade, if we don't try it, how can we know whether we should buy it? If it's not suitable, can we buy it back and use it as a rag?"
Zhang Xiaomei followed suit and said, "Besides, you have a fitting room here, is it just for show?"
The two people looked at the young female comrade together. The female comrade looked at them, then looked at the comrades coming and going in the mall. At this moment, her face seemed to have an overturned color palette, with red and blue, blue and green, and she looked very energetic.
Then, before she could speak, the sales director of the ready-made garments came over, and when he saw that it was Shen Nanzhen, he hurriedly said, “Isn’t this Vice President Shen? What wind blew you here? Oh, look at my fish head, today is Mid-Autumn Festival!”
"Is Vice President Shen out shopping for clothes with his family?"
Ana Shen’s expression finally softened a bit, and she said, “Didn’t I bring my daughter-in-law here to have a look, but your salesperson is so good, saying that if we don’t buy it, we don’t have to try it.”
The salesman's face immediately turned pale. He didn't know how to react for a moment. He just said subconsciously: "Comrade, I didn't mean that. I just said that you can choose first..."
"Shut up!" The sales manager glared at the salesman. Usually, many people came to complain about their bad attitude, but in this day and age, half of the people with stable jobs have a negative attitude towards work, and many of them have nepotism. Usually, the sales manager turned a blind eye.
But now, she had to open her eyes. No matter what, she couldn't offend the deputy director of the military hospital. Besides, she was the wife of the former commander of Yangcheng!
The sales manager angrily scolded: "Your work attitude is very problematic. From now on, you will take over the warehouse work and I will take care of this."
The female comrade's face instantly drooped, her eyes widened, and she said hurriedly: "Director, I..."
"Stop talking, go to the warehouse now."
The sales director didn’t want to care about her anymore, and quickly asked Ana Shen: “Vice President Shen, which one does your daughter-in-law want to try? I’ll take her to the dressing room.”
Ana Shen glanced at the original salesperson and said in a deep tone: “This young female comrade, you work here to serve customers. With your attitude, even if it’s not me today, there will be other people complaining about you. I hope you can change your ways.”
Shen Nanzhen taught her subordinates in the hospital how to communicate with patients' families and patients.
They see so many patients every day that they can't help but feel upset sometimes. However, compared to their fatigue, the patients and their families are more anxious about the condition.
And she is just a small salesperson, but she has a sour face when facing customers. If this gets out, will others know her name?
I guess no one knows, but this is the shopping mall that everyone is talking about.
The reputation is ruined by such people.
The salesman lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "I, I understand."
Ye Zhi took a few pieces of clothing and walked up to the salesperson. Then she said, "Comrade, Yangcheng is a foreign trade city. Comrades from all over the country come here every day. There is also a foreign trade exchange meeting in the fall, and there will be different foreign guests. If everyone is like you, it will not only affect others' impression of you, but also affect others' impression of the entire city. In serious cases, it will even affect the reputation of the organization."
"Your job is to provide advice and help to those who come to buy clothes. You should be in your position, fulfill your duties, shoulder your responsibilities, and do your best. This is the most basic professional ethics."
After the words fell, the comrades watching applauded and echoed: "You are absolutely right. We are a foreign trade city. So many people come and go every day, representing the image of the city and the image of the country!"
"In my opinion, these salespeople are usually arrogant and don't like to talk to people. They also curse at people. They really need to be taught a lesson."
The salesman listened to the discussions of the people around him, and his livid face suddenly became a little hot. He immediately bowed to Ye Zhi and said, "I'm sorry, classmate. I just had a bad attitude. I will definitely change in the future."
The sales director waved his hand and said, "Go to the warehouse and reflect on this."
As soon as the salesman left, the sales director looked at Ye Zhi with approval and said, "Comrade, what you said is really great. I am also responsible for my subordinates' behavior this time. It was my fault that I did not discipline them well."
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Director, you are joking. I believe you have done your job well, but not everyone obeys."
The sales director said, "It seems that I have to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm in the future. Thanks for your reminder."
"By the way, there's that skirt you just liked. I'll take you to try it on." The sales manager saw the child in Ye Zhi's arms. He looked quite small. Although he didn't cry or make a fuss, with so many people around, he probably wanted to finish shopping quickly and go home early.
Shen Nanzhen on the side handed over the skirt and said, "These are the ones I have. I thought that my daughter-in-law would rarely come to Guangzhou, so I bought a few beautiful skirts for her to wear."
Who knows, I will encounter some unhappy things.
The sales director took the skirt handed over by Ana Shen and said, “Deputy Dean Shen, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful and has a tall and well-proportioned figure. She must look good in anything she wears. I will take her to try it out now.”
Lu Wei, who had been silent the whole time, took two more pieces and handed them to the sales manager, saying, "There are two more."
"Okay, okay, come over here, there's a mirror over there, you can take a look." The sales director held Ye Zhi's hand affectionately, and then said, "Comrade, put the child down first and let us hold him first."
Before Ye Zhi could speak, Lu Weiyi, who was behind her, untied Ye Zhi's straps and said, "Wife, I'll help you untie the straps, you hold Nian Nian."
Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, then she held Nian Nian firmly in her arms. Zhang Xiaomei on the other side had already taken the child and said, "Girl, give the child to me."
Ye Zhi had a sweat mark on her chest due to the heat, and she felt that it was time to buy some clothes.
After trying on several pieces in a row, Lu Wei only said two words: "Looks good."
Ana Shen said, “It looks good.”
Zhang Xiaomei also said: "I look good in anything I wear."
Ye Zhi originally wanted to buy one or two pieces, but Lu Wei took all the clothes she had tried on and put them in the checkout.
Ye Zhi smiled and let him go.
Later, when Ana Shen saw Ye Zhi bought a few skirts, she also took Zhang Xiaomei to try on two sets of clothes.
It was still Lu Wei who paid.
In addition, he also bought two sets for Ye Xiaoding.
Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei and paid without trying on the clothes, so she asked, "Comrade Lu, why don't you pick one?"
Lu Wei glanced at Ye Zhi, whose face was a little red, and said, "I have enough clothes to wear. Besides, I stay in the army all day and don't have the chance to wear other clothes."
The troops have matching uniforms from hats to shoes, so there is basically no chance to wear other clothes.
However, Ye Zhi ignored his words and led him directly to the men's clothing area. She helped him get two sets of clothes, handed them to him, and said, "Try them on. This size is suitable for you."
Because Ye Zhi had made clothes for Lu Wei, she also knew Lu Wei's size, and this size would definitely suit him.
Sure enough, when Lu Wei came out after putting on his clothes, they really fit him perfectly and he looked very handsome.
This caused several male comrades around him who were trying on clothes to not want to look in the mirror with him.
Lu Wei is tall, about 1.87 meters in height, with a straight back, a handsome and cold face, and a much more imposing aura, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
Ye Zhi stood behind Lu Wei, looked at him through the mirror, and said, "Handsome."
Lu Wei cleared his throat, looked away, then pursed his lips and said, "It's okay."
However, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his lips.
This seemed to be the first time Ye Zhi praised him for his handsomeness in person.
After Lu Wei came out, Ye Zhi followed his example and took the clothes he had tried on to the counter to pay.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "It's really handsome. I must buy it for you. It makes me feel happy every day when I look at it."
Ye Zhi knew that Lu Wei really didn’t want to buy it, but the clothes were for her to wear and see!
So you must buy it!
The group came out of the mall with a lot of gains.
Not only did he buy clothes, he also took Ye Xiaoding to buy lanterns so that they could play with them in the yard when they got home at night.
Where did Ye Xiaoding get lanterns before?
We have to light candles every night at home, and candles are a rare commodity in the house. But now, he actually has a lantern with little dolls painted on it. He is so happy!
Ye Xiaoding kept chattering all the way, talking about his lanterns. He had completely forgotten about the new clothes he bought. Even the mooncakes were put behind the lanterns.
It turns out that children still love to play.
Compared to Ye Xiaoding's liveliness, the two little guys just made a little noise when they were trying on clothes today.
But then he looked around obediently, as if he was very curious about the new environment.
He was especially excited when he saw the lanterns. He scratched around with his hands, leaving several red marks on Lu Wei's face.
But Lu Wei seemed very happy today. He was not impatient with the children along the way and even kissed them a few times when no one was around.
He thought Ye Zhi didn't see it.
After returning home, Zhang Xiaomei and Shen Nanzhen first gave the two children a bath. They had been out for most of the day and the children were scratching everywhere. They were still in the exploratory period of sucking their fingers, so the first thing they did when they got home was to give their two children a bath.
Fortunately, there was already hot water in the pot. It should have been boiled by Aunt Chen in the evening.
Because it is Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen's mother has a holiday today. However, she knew that they were going out today, so she came over to help boil water, thinking that the first thing the child would do when he came back would be to take a bath.
Shen Nanzhen held Nian Nian in her arms and walked to the bathroom, then said, "Xiao Zhi, my in-laws and I will take care of the child, you should take a bath first, they may be hungry again later."
Ye Zhi felt really tired after walking around all day. She still had to feed her two children later, so she decided to take a shower first.
Ye Zhi said, "Mom, thank you for your hard work."
"I wish I could wash them every day." Shen Nanzhen said with a smile.
When she thought that Lu Wei and Ye Zhi would be going back the day after tomorrow and she would not be able to see her two grandsons again, she felt very depressed.
If she wasn’t busy with her work, Shen Nanzhen would also like to go to Qiongzhou Island.
So, the two children took a bath on the first floor, while Ye Zhi went upstairs to take a bath.
When Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi going upstairs, he also carried two buckets of hot water and took them directly to the bathroom on the second floor.
Ye Zhi had just found her clothes when she saw Lu Wei standing at the bathroom door, looking at her with a smile, his eyes fixed on the clean clothes in her hands.
Ye Zhi swallowed her saliva, then wiped Lu Wei's shoulder and walked into the bathroom, saying, "I'll take a shower first. You can get towels for the two children later."
Lu Wei suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "Wife, let the child sleep with mom and the others tonight, okay?"
