Ye Zhi didn't want to go out, so she said, "It's snowing outside, it's too cold."
Ye Zhi was planning to wait for Ye Xiaoding to come back and then take them out for a walk, but the children pulled Ye Zhi out of bed and said, "It's stopped snowing, take us out to play in the snow."
The children originally wanted Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu to take the children out, but the old people were used to taking a nap. Just when they were eating dumplings, the two old people had gone back to their room to rest, so they could only come and let Ye Zhi take them out.
Ye Zhi was pulled up, and Ping Ping and An An took Ye Zhi's coat, each pulling a sleeve, and helped her put it on.
Ye Zhi, who was a little sleepy at first, became alert immediately after being teased by the children, and said, "Okay, but we can't go too far, I still have to prepare dinner later."
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Grandpa Lu has asked Uncle Li and Aunt Wang to go home, and the two old people definitely cannot be allowed to cook in the evening.
Several children smiled and said, "Okay!"
Originally, Ye Zhi didn't want to go out, but after she went out, she was attracted by the hustle and bustle here.
There are a lot of shops selling candied haws here, and there are many varieties. In addition to hawthorn, they call it mountain red, there are also crabapples, yams, water chestnuts, and even oranges...
There is a long table at the entrance of the store, with a large porcelain plate on it. There is also a common stand for candied haws on the side, and a big light bulb on the top.
The light shines on the candied haws wrapped in icing sugar, making them look colorful and particularly tempting. Not to mention the children were clamoring to eat, even Ye Zhi was very greedy.
In addition to the shops, there are also people carrying loads or holding stands on the street, shouting, "Hey, candied haws—freshly dipped!"
Fortunately, you don’t need a ticket to buy this kind of snack, so Ye Zhi took out the money and bought three for one dollar.
The uncle selling candied haws saw several little kids who looked exactly the same and immediately became interested. He asked, "Pretty girl, are these all your children?"
Before Ye Zhi could say anything, several children rushed to answer, "Yes, this is our mother, we are two pairs of twins!"
"We are the older brothers, and this is our younger sister. They are also twins."
When the uncle heard this, he laughed and said, "Oh, these two boys are so energetic, and the two girls are so pretty! My daughter, you are really good at giving birth, and you have two pairs of twins. This is the first time I have seen this."
Ye Zhi heard the uncle selling candied haws praising the children and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
Several little ones also said sweetly to the uncle: "Thank you, uncle."
Then Ye Zhi touched the little head of the child who had already eaten the candied haws and said, "We just arrived in Beijing not long ago. The children are quite excited now because Beijing is so beautiful and lively."
The uncle was a real local. After hearing what Ye Zhi said, he enthusiastically introduced her to several fun and lively places.
Finally, the uncle smiled and said, "There is a bus stop just to the right. Take a few buses and you will reach Wangfujing. There is a department store there that sells everything. There is no problem for children to have fun there."
Ye Zhi thanked him politely: "Thank you, we were just wondering where to go for fun."
When Lu Wei went out, he gave her a map and told her that the bus station was right outside the alley and that the largest shopping mall in Beijing was only a few stops away.
However, this alley is located in Xicheng District and is also very lively. There are state-owned stores of all sizes just outside the door, so there is no need to worry about having nowhere to go.
Ye Zhi was taking care of the four little ones by herself, and she didn't actually plan to go too far. It would be just right for her to take a stroll nearby, buy some seasonings, and go back to cook dinner.
After buying the candied haws, Ye Zhi took Pingping and Anan by the hand and followed Nian Nian and Sui Sui who were curious all the way.
Lu Xingyun and Lu Xingzhou are now second-year students. Even though they came to a strange place, they did not feel afraid at all. Instead, they were full of curiosity.
Although all big cities are similar, Beijing seems to have more people than Guangzhou, but the street vendors don't seem to be as crowded as those in the south.
many.
As they walked, they arrived at a larger state-owned store. Ye Zhi led them in to buy some daily necessities.
Because it was close to the Spring Festival, there were a lot of people in the store. Ye Zhi planned to make a quick decision, buy things quickly, and then go back.
A few children have just eaten candied haws and are now eating nougat on the counter.
Considering how well-behaved the children were, Ye Zhi did not refuse and directly bought half a pound for them to eat.
Now that the child had food to eat, he obediently pulled Ye Zhi's clothes and followed her backstage.
Just as Ye Zhi was about to buy some condiments, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Comrade, excuse me for interrupting you."
Ye Zhi felt someone patting her shoulder, and she subconsciously looked back, only to see a lesbian with the most popular semi-long curly hair looking at her with a smile. I saw that the other person was wearing a long apricot coat, a white scarf around her neck, and a floral skirt. She looked very nice.
Moreover, the other person was wearing makeup and bright red lipstick, which made her look gorgeous.
There was a middle-aged woman standing next to her. She was dressed more fashionably than her peers and wore a lighter lipstick. She looked quite energetic.
Ye Zhi recalled the people she knew in her mind and found that she had never met them. But out of politeness, Ye Zhi stopped and nodded to the other party: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The younger female comrade took a step forward towards Ye Zhi and introduced herself first: "Hello, sorry to bother you. My name is Zhao Xiaomin. I think your clothes are pretty nice. I want to ask where you bought them."
Zhao Xiaomin kept smiling and then said, "By the way, there's also your shoulder bag, which looks very unique."
Zhao Xiaomin noticed Ye Zhi when she walked into the store with a few children just now. Seeing that she was free, she came up to ask her.
Ye Zhi thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "I made this myself, it's not sold outside."
When Ye Zhi came to Beijing this time, she specially picked out a few coats in bright colors. One reason was to see if she could find a merchant who would buy her clothes. After all, she also wanted to expand the market here.
Secondly, it’s Chinese New Year now, and I want to dress more festively so that I’ll look better in photos.
However, the dress she was wearing had not yet been mass-produced, so she made three sets.
She wore one herself and gave the other to Fang Meijuan to wear back to southern Fujian.
Another item was sent to Wang Jinbao's wife, and he also sent her a lot of children's clothes and various dried seafood. After all, the ginseng was too valuable.
These clothes were designed by her herself. Although they are not the most popular styles nowadays, they make the body look slim and tall, and the colors also make the skin look whiter. Moreover, this piece of clothing is entirely handmade with very strict stitching, and both the quality and style are top-notch.
Because her small clothing factory made some money in the past two years, and now she is preparing to graduate. Since the beginning of her senior year, she has planned to transform her small factory into producing high-end clothing.
Although fewer people are buying his products than before due to the higher factory price, his reputation has been maintained, and many people who have worked with him before are still willing to cooperate with him.
Influenced by policies and geographical location, Guangzhou is currently at the forefront of fashion trends. Clothing is still relatively diverse, especially in color. It is no longer the monotonous gray, blue and black of the past. Pink, red and light yellow have become popular.
Beijing is now slowly being impacted, and there are many comrades dressed in outstanding attire on the streets, and Zhao Xiaomin in front of him is one of them.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhao Xiaomin's eyes, and then she said "Oh" and said, "Is that so."
Then, she pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something, and said, "I thought you bought it in the mall. I saw that you looked so good in it, so I planned to buy one to try."
Unexpectedly, it’s out of stock!
An An, who was eating nougat at the side, saw it and said, "Sister, although this dress is not sold here, my mother can make it, and my mother's clothing factory can also make it!"
Zhao Xiaomin's eyes, which had been drooping, suddenly brightened up.
He stood up and smiled: "Really? Comrade, you actually have a small clothing factory? No wonder you are so good at dressing up."
Zhao Xiaomin saw that Ye Zhi and several other children were dressed quite fashionably, wearing brightly colored clothes. The two younger daughters even wore small leather shoes. Even in Beijing, not many families dressed so fashionably.
Ye Zhi originally wanted to say it in a more tactful way. After all, she didn't want to sell it to others directly, so as not to disgust them.
But since An An had already said it for her, Ye Zhi said directly: "Well, I have a small factory that sells clothes for both adults and children. The clothes I'm wearing are my own designs, but I haven't had time to mass-produce them yet."
Ping Pinghe, who was eating nougat, chimed in: "The clothes my mother draws are so beautiful. Parents of my classmates like to buy clothes from my mother."
Ye Zhi smiled faintly as a response.
Zhao Xiaomin became even more excited after hearing this and asked, "Where is your clothing factory? I want to see other styles."
Zhao Xiaomin went shopping in several of the largest shopping malls in Beijing these days, but she didn't find any clothes she liked.
I didn’t expect to fall in love with what someone else was wearing today!
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't take you there, because my clothing factory is not in Beijing."
Zhao Xiaomin sighed and said, "Oh, no wonder. You sound like a southerner from your accent. Are you from Shanghai?"
Just now she thought Ye Zhi was a local, but from the accent she spoke to her child, she did not sound like a local.
Ye Zhi: "No, we are from Yangcheng."
Zhao Xiaomin: "Ah? So far?"
Then she muttered in frustration: "Then I won't be able to buy your clothes?"
It turns out that she is from Guangdong Province. I heard that it is an import and export trading city and is also very close to Hong Kong. No wonder she is so fashionable.
Ye Zhi thought about it and said, "Well, if you like, I have a few new clothes at home. If you don't mind, you can go pick two from me. Consider them as gifts to you. It's rare that someone appreciates my clothes."
Zhao Xiaomin bit her lip and then shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not as tall as you, so I guess it's not suitable."
After the two of them exchanged a few polite words, Nian Nian and Sui Sui started clamoring to go buy comic books, so Ye Zhi had to say goodbye to Zhao Xiaomin.
Pingping and Anan gave Zhao Xiaomin and her mother some White Rabbit candy before leaving.
The two took the White Rabbit candies handed over by the children, and their hearts almost melted. "These two children are so cute and sensible."
After Ye Zhi walked away, Zhao Xiaomin's mother said, "These are two pairs of twins, right? The children look alike and are all handsome."
And judging by the way Ye Zhi and her children are dressed, their family conditions should not be bad.
But two pairs of twins are rare enough, and they are also good-looking.
Zhao Xiaomin smiled and said, "She is also pretty, and a nice person, speaking softly."
It’s such a pity. It would be great if Ye Zhi could open a small clothing factory in Beijing.
Even in the largest shopping malls in Beijing, the clothes they sell are expensive and not very good-looking.
Zhao Xiaomin's mother smiled at her lovingly: "Girl, you didn't even buy New Year's goods for a piece of clothing, right? You're almost staring at me. What a promising girl."
Zhao Xiaomin took the middle-aged woman's arm and said, "Don't you want to wear beautiful clothes for the New Year?"
Zhao Xiaomin glanced at Ye Zhi's figure, then looked away awkwardly.
Ye Zhi took the children to the book area and bought some comic books. Niannian and Suisui also said they wanted to buy a few books for Ye Xiaoding as a New Year's gift to him.
After buying comic books and condiments, the children saw all kinds of novel things and didn't want to leave, so they took Ye Zhi shopping for the whole afternoon.
Until Ye Zhi could no longer unscrew anything else, she took the children who were still reluctant to go home back to the courtyard.
At first, the children were still having fun and were in a bad mood on the way home. However, after returning to the courtyard and seeing Ye Xiaoding, the children started playing again.
.
As night fell, it started snowing again, and the yard was covered with a thin layer of snow.
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu had already made the dumplings and asked someone to go to Quanjude to buy a duck. There is also a plate of pancakes, which are eaten with vegetables rolled in them. In addition to several northern dishes, I also soaked a few abalones, cut them into thin strips, and stir-fried them with coriander, which was very fragrant.
A few people sat together in the warm house and had dinner in a lively atmosphere.
After dinner, Ye Zhi washed the children's feet and wiped their backs. They definitely couldn't take a bath in this weather. The children were too lazy to take a bath. Even when they were in Guangzhou, they would always resist taking a bath when they sweated.
But Ye Zhi didn't spoil them. The climate in the south was different, so she bathed the children every day.
Now that they have arrived in Beijing, they don’t have to wash their feet anymore. The children are so happy that after washing their feet they climb onto the kang and crawl around.
Seeing that they were having fun, Ye Zhi asked, "Are you really not going to sleep with mom tonight?"
Nian Nian and Sui Sui quickly shook their heads: "We are going to sleep with our brother tonight."
Ye Xiaoding patted the two little guys' heads and said, "Then you must not wet your pants at night."
The two little guys immediately became unwilling and said with frowns: "I haven't peed my pants in a long time!"
"Yes, brother, please don't slander us."
As they were talking, the kids started to fight with each other.
Ping Ping and An An were lying comfortably on the kang, listening to Grandma Lu reading comic books to them. When Ye Zhi asked them, they quickly shook their heads and said, "Grandma, it's warm here. We want to sleep here."
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu slept in the largest room. Not only was it warm, but the kang was also very large. Once they lay down, they really didn't want to get up.
The snow outside is getting heavier and the temperature is getting lower.
Ye Zhi said, "Thank you for taking care of them, grandma."
Grandma Lu smoothed the two children's hair, which was already past their shoulders, and said, "Pingping and An'an are very well behaved. Grandma doesn't have to work hard."
Pingping and Anan really don’t need adults to coax them to sleep anymore, they just like to listen to stories before going to bed.
Since the children didn't want to sleep with her, Ye Zhi was happy to be free. However, after she left the main room, she still diluted some water and planned to wipe her body. She really couldn't bear not taking a bath.
Originally, she thought that Lu Wei was not at home, so she cleaned the room where the stove was lit. However, just after she took off her clothes, Lu Wei pushed open the door of the room, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, making Ye Zhi shiver subconsciously.
But before she could react, Lu Wei opened his military coat, wrapped her in his arms, and then bent down to kiss her.
While Ye Zhi was struggling, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol on Lu Wei.
