Chapter 321 Qingshi Military Region
Of course, in addition to the blanched snails, the other dishes were also delicious.
After the family had their fill, they went to the department store.
The department store in Qingshi is also bigger than the one in Qingshi. It is the first time for Gu Yanyan to visit such a big shopping mall and her eyes are wide open.
Liu Yinyin didn’t have anything in particular she wanted to buy, so she just looked around and bought whatever she saw that suited her.
In the past few months, Liu Yinyin has saved a lot of tickets.
Especially the cloth coupons. She and Gu Cheng both had jobs, and Liu Yinyin saved all the receipts for the monthly subsidies.
Not to mention that she has a system, Liu Yinyin herself works in a supply and marketing cooperative, so she can buy fabric anytime she wants.
However, thinking that Liu Ersao would be coming to the island soon, Liu Yinyin picked out a piece of patterned cotton fabric to make a new set of clothes for her little niece.
And other nieces and nephews...
Especially for Liu Mingyuan’s twin sons, Liu Yinyin, their aunt, didn’t even attend their full-month banquet.
We also need to prepare a piece of cloth for them to make clothes so that they can send them back when the time comes.
The next step is to buy things for Gu Yanyan.
The little guy is grown up now and can choose what he wants.
When he reached the food area, Gu Yanyan couldn't move his feet...
Liu Yinyin bought him iron box cookies, donkey rolls, walnuts and almonds that were not available on the island.
Liu Yinyin also picked out a can of more expensive tea so that she could make some tea water when she had guests at home.
In addition to food, Gu Yanyan also likes to read picture books, but there are no picture books for sale on the island.
It was a rare opportunity to go to Qingshi, so Liu Yinyin bought a bag of picture books for the little guy.
I also bought paper and money for Gu Yanyan. At his age, he is almost old enough to practice writing.
After buying things, Liu Yinyin originally wanted to leave.
Gu Cheng led them to a watch counter and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, we want to see some ladies' watches."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
She didn't buy a watch strap. She had a wall clock at home and didn't need a watch very often. It was also inconvenient to wear a watch while working.
Moreover, Liu Yinyin bought a watch from the system, but she just didn't use it.
When the salesperson heard that they wanted to buy watches, he immediately smiled and said, "Wait a moment, comrades..."
Watches are considered valuable items these days and are not displayed directly on the counter.
The salesperson took out three boxes from the counter. There were two domestic watches in them, which cost more than one hundred to nearly two hundred yuan, plus more than forty industrial coupons.
The other watch is from abroad and is twice as expensive.
Liu Yinyin tried on several watches and found that they were suitable.
The salesperson smiled and said, "Comrade, you have fair skin, so any watch will look good on you."
Liu Yinyin smiled, but hadn't decided which one to buy yet.
Gu Cheng pointed directly at the expensive watch box and said, "Just buy this one."
He didn't think much about it. The more expensive watch was indeed more refined and better looking.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "Okay, let's buy this one."
Whether you wear it or not is secondary. This watch is very suitable for collection.
Not only her, Gu Cheng has also been wearing a watch for many years and it's time to change it. If you want to buy one, just buy it all at once.
Liu Yinyin originally wanted to buy him a watch of the same style.
However, Gu Cheng did not agree and finally bought a domestic men's watch.
After leaving the department store, Gu Cheng took the mother and son to the military base in Qing City.
This time when he came to Qingshi, Gu Cheng not only wanted to take his family for a walk, but also wanted to visit his former leader, who is now working in the Qingshi Military Region.
When he arrived at the gate of the military garrison, Gu Cheng asked the sentry on duty to check his ID.
Only then did we enter the military area.
The Qingshi Military District’s garrison is much larger than the one on the island. You can’t see the end of it at a glance, and there are also family compounds inside.
It was only at this moment that Liu Yinyin found out that Gu Cheng’s old leader was actually the commander of the Qing City Military Region.
Liu Yinyin said shyly: "...Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have brought two better things."
Dried sea cucumber and dried abalone are also fine. I have a lot of them stocked up at home.
It looks better than mentioning two kinds of fruits.
Gu Cheng said indifferently: "Just bring two kinds of fruit. Commander Zhang will not accept them if they are too expensive."
When we arrived at the gate of Commander Zhang's yard, a guard asked us about the situation.
After checking Gu Cheng's ID, he went inside to verify it.
Then he led them in.
Liu Yinyin took a look at the yard of Commander Zhang's house, which was similar to the small Western-style houses in later generations.
However, the yard was actually planted with various green vegetables.
I don't know who planted it.
Liu Yinyin originally thought that the commander should be an old leader with a dignified face and a stern look.
Unexpectedly, the other party looked quite friendly.
Seeing Gu Cheng, he laughed and said, "How come you have time to come here?"
"Commander Zhang." Gu Cheng smiled and said, "It's just a holiday, so I brought my wife and children to Qing City for a stroll, and came to see you by the way."
Commander Zhang heard this and took a look at Liu Yinyin...
Liu Yinyin greeted him angrily: "Commander Zhang."
"Come in and sit down." Commander Zhang led them to the living room and asked the guards to prepare tea.
In addition to him, Commander Zhang's wife Song Yumei was also there.
"You must be Yin Yin, right? I used to hear Xiao Gu talk about you often." Song Yumei said with a smile.
Liu Yinyin smiled shyly: "Auntie, Gu Cheng didn't tell me in advance that he was coming to see you, otherwise I would have brought two more things. I live on the island, and when I have nothing to do, I dry a lot of dried seafood and fruits myself."
Liu Yinyin gave the two kinds of fruits she brought to Song Yumei.
I bought two kinds of fruits on the way here, a bag of bananas and a bag of apples.
The snacks I bought for Gu Yanyan are not suitable as gifts.
Song Yumei took Liu Yinyin's hand and said, "Just come here, no need to bring anything. Come earlier next time and I'll make you something delicious."
Gu Cheng had already followed Commander Zhang to the study upstairs to talk.
Liu Yinyin sat in the living room and chatted with Song Yumei.
Song Yumei liked Gu Yanyan very much: "I also have a daughter, who is about your age. Her father raised her like a boy, but she ran off to the northern military region to serve in the army. She didn't get married or find a partner, which made me worried."
Commander Zhang and Song Yumei only have one daughter.
In fact, Song Yumi had always disagreed with her daughter joining the army, but Commander Zhang did not agree.
As Commander Zhang's daughter, she should imitate his demeanor as a father.
Now it's all right. Ever since the girl went to the northern military district to serve as a soldier, she has never come back once.
Not to mention her, Commander Zhang himself regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
Liu Yinyin admired her very much, but she didn't know what to say: "...Maybe it's not our destiny yet."
Song Yumei sighed: "If she gets married one day and has another child as cute as Yanyan, I will be content for the rest of my life."
