Chapter 179 Song Yuling sat down and chattered with Ding Guo...
Two watches were produced in this morning.
The second customer who bought a watch was a woman in her early fifties. When she saw that she had a brand new watch on her wrist, she directly suggested that she go to the department store and wait for a while.
Ding Guo was wearing makeup and was deliberately lowering her voice when she spoke. She asked, "Going to the department store?"
"Yes, there are many people buying watches over there. As long as you have sharp eyes and can catch the target, you can walk over and ask. If you can't find the answer, just run away. It's no big deal."
Ding Guo still didn't dare, because she knew how warm-hearted the people in the capital were. If her target shouted, she would be pinned down before she could run a few steps.
Unless she is familiar with all the nearby alleys, she can find a corner to hide.
Ding Guo shook his head honestly and said in a low voice, "No, no, I only have this one piece. I won't bother with it anymore."
Seeing Ding Guo was so timid, the old lady laughed and said, "Are you a professional in this? Professionals are not as timid as you."
Ding Guo could tell that this lady was a brave one, and he even chatted with her after the purchase.
Being able to chat with someone has its advantages, so Ding Guo openly asked her about other black market spots. The old lady knew them all, and in the end even told Ding Guo about several black market spots around the capital.
The old lady finally smiled and said, "I've been to all these places. Don't think they are all black markets. The same things are priced differently in different places. Even if you include the round-trip ticket, it's still a good deal. We just ask around and go where the things are cheap."
After chatting for a few more words, the old lady left, and Ding Guo continued to wander around the street. He collected two local meat and grain coupons and moved to another location.
Now that you know the specific locations of other black markets, go and take a look.
However, when passing Wangfujing Street, she actually stopped for a moment in front of the department store.
After that, she walked around the area again and imagined several ways to escape. Ding Guo raised her hand and touched her belly: "My children, if I need to escape, you will be in jail."
The system rolled its eyes after hearing this. Did they really think that the pregnancy-protecting pills they produced were inferior products?
"Host, let me tell you this, after using our pregnancy-protecting pills, even if someone kicks you in the stomach, the two life forms will be able to dodge inside your stomach!"
Ding Guo: ...
She knew that Haozi's words were exaggerated, but he only wanted to emphasize the effectiveness of the pregnancy-protecting pills to reassure her.
Ding Guo wandered for a while, found a place to put away his bicycle, came back into the mall, pretended to wander around the watch counter casually, and met several customers who came to buy watches.
There are couples, mothers and children, and middle-aged couples.
Some people placed orders directly, while others left reluctantly after consulting because they had no tickets.
This is her customer base.
Ding Guo followed him out calmly, walked to a place with fewer people, stepped forward and boldly opened the microphone, pulled up his sleeves to show the goods and lowered his voice and said, "Do you want a watch? No ticket is needed."
The price is ten yuan more expensive than in the mall, but it is more attractive because it does not require a ticket.
The two were startled by Ding Guo's sudden approach. After calming down, they looked around and made sure that the goods were in good condition. Then they began to bargain with Ding Guo in a low voice.
It can't be cheap, even though it is a free windfall.
After a tug of war, the deal was successfully concluded.
The money was exchanged and the goods were delivered. After the transaction, both parties hurried away in different directions as if nothing had happened.
Ding Guo walked to a deserted place, turned around to make sure no one was following him, found a corner, took out his bicycle, and rode away.
It was her first time shipping goods in such a formal place. She was a little nervous and her heart was beating fast.
I rode for a distance before I calmed down.
Although the shipment was quick and smooth, Ding Guo inexplicably felt that the black market was more suitable for her, even though the risks were obviously greater.
For the next two or three days, Ding Guo frequented the black market, occasionally going to the department store to try her luck. Gradually, she exchanged all the remaining watches in her hands for RMB and put them into her pocket.
“Finally sold out!”
After delivering the goods, Ding Guo returned to the compound and stayed for a day, then returned to his own home and started visiting relatives and friends.
The night before yesterday, Uncle Huang’s daughter Huang Aifeng came to see her and played with her until eight o’clock before going back.
Song Yuling said her mother was coming over, and Ding Guo didn't want to ask the elders to come and see her, not to mention that the Song family was her future in-laws, so he made an appointment with Song Yuling to go to the Song family and see Uncle Song and Aunt Wu.
So Ding Guo went to the Song family today carrying a few net bags.
At noon, Aunt Wu prepared a large table of dishes, talked about some precautions during pregnancy, and then talked about Ding Dayong's story: "I never thought there would be such a fate."
After Song Yuling and Ding Dayong confirmed their relationship, they came back and told their parents.
Uncle Song didn't notice Ding Dayong when Ding Guo got married, but Aunt Wu had seen him. At that time, she didn't know that Ding Guo's cousin would have this fate with her daughter, and she didn't pay much attention to him. She only remembered that the young man had a good physique and good looks. It was only when her daughter mentioned him some time ago that she asked about Ding Dayong in detail.
Apart from being worried about the long distance between them and being unable to continue walking, he didn't say anything else.
Although Uncle Song also hopes that his daughter can date someone from the capital, now that she has found someone she likes, he will not interfere too much and simply says that he will make a final decision after meeting the person.
Dayong was also arranging his work, preparing to come and meet his future father-in-law while his sister was in the capital.
Although his sister would not accompany him the first time he visited, he felt particularly at ease when he thought of his sister in the capital.
Ding Guo had lunch at the home of his future in-laws.
Afterwards, I went to see Uncle Huang and also visited Yu's house, where I chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Yu about family matters for most of the day.
Three days later, Ding Guo was reading a book at home when he heard someone knocking on the door.
There was no suspense, it was Ding Dayong who came.
"sister!"
Ding Dayong had a bag hanging around his neck and a briefcase and a net bag in each hand.
Ding Guo was shocked: "How much stuff did you bring?"
Ding Dayong put down all his things, wiped the sweat off his head, and said, "It's my first time visiting, so I can't be too generous. Besides, I have to go see my brother-in-law's grandfather, I can't go empty-handed."
Ding Guo said with a smile: "I have sent everything that should be sent to Grandpa."
"That's different. This is what I meant."
It's also to give face to his sister.
Ding Dayong had lived in both courtyards here and was familiar with them. He went to fetch water to wash his hands and face, and after cleaning up, he sat down and talked to Ding Guo.
Ding Guo bought him a set of clothes from the mall, a white long-sleeved shirt with army green trousers, and also bought Dayong a pair of leather shoes.
She told Dayong when she called him to bring only everyday clothes, as she had already bought clothes for him to wear when visiting the Song family.
Before coming, Ding Dayong went to the barber shop to get a haircut, and he had a neat and neat buzz cut.
His facial features are three-dimensional, and he looks good even with a shaved head.
After talking to his sister for a while, Ding Dayong felt like there were nails under his butt and he couldn't sit still.
Ding Guo was both angry and amused, and he immediately chased him away: "Hurry up and leave. I don't need you to talk to me."
"Sister, I'm going to find Yuling then." Ding Dayong stood up with a chuckle, requisitioned the family's bicycle, and went to find his girlfriend.
During this period of time, Yu Shaofen always came after get off work to accompany Ding Guo. Knowing that Ding Dayong was coming today, she bought some meat after get off work and also bought a fish from someone else.
Ding Dayong has returned.
She will meet her parents tomorrow, and it would be inappropriate to keep someone else's daughter outside tonight, so after get off work Song Yuling sent her home and then returned.
After meeting the parents, there will be plenty of opportunities to go out on a date with your partner.
Of course Ding Dayong would not let Aunt Yu cook for him. He took over the kitchen work consciously and started washing and cutting with quick movements.
Yu Shaofen liked them all the time and said with a smile, "Your brother is really good. He and Yuling are a perfect match. I am very optimistic about these two children."
Not many men cook these days.
Besides, he looks so energetic.
Anyway, Zhang Shengkai had never cooked a meal for her before, and he believed that cooking was a woman's job and only men with no future would go into the kitchen.
He is quite promising, so promising that he was sent to labor camp.
After dinner, Ding Dayong took the clothes his sister bought for him and went next door.
Yu Shaofen asked Ding Guo: "Aren't you going with your brother tomorrow?"
Ding Guo said: "I have a good relationship with the Song family. If I follow them tomorrow, they will be embarrassed to say something they want to test Dayong."
If people want to see Dayong as a person, they definitely don’t want to see Dayong hiding behind his sister, but rather want to see the independent Dayong.
If she goes, it will easily affect Dayong's performance.
There will be plenty of opportunities to go there with Dayong in the future.
Yu Shaofen was a little surprised that Ding Guo would consider it so carefully. She hadn't even thought about this kind of problem.
"Your brother is fine. He's tall, good-looking, hardworking, and never shy when he speaks. He's very generous." Yu Shaofen was really praising him, and even asked, "How many brothers and sisters does he have?"
"Three. Dayong is the oldest, and he has two younger brothers. The second oldest is 15 this year, and the third is 11."
"Your family has good genes and they all look good."
She had seen all of Yue Hongmei's children, and they all looked great.
The next morning, Ding Dayong came with his things and prepared to go to the Song family.
Ding Guo could see that he was still a little nervous, so he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Uncle Song and Aunt Wu are both honest people, so just be open and honest. Tell the two elders about your work development and let them know that you are a motivated person."
As for the situation of living apart after marriage, it is very common in this era and is not really a big deal.
Besides, they are both young and can wait for two years.
Ding Dayong doesn't have the talent for studying, but what if he suddenly becomes talented for love? When the college entrance examination is resumed, let the couple work hard to get into the same place.
After graduating from university, reform and opening up took place, and my career became relatively freer. At that time, I was not as restricted as I am now when making plans.
Everyone knows the reason, but Ding Dayong is just a little nervous about some unknown reasons.
Because today, in addition to the elders of the Song family, I will also meet Yuling's brothers and sisters.
After Ding Guo's encouragement, Ding Dayong checked again and again to make sure he hadn't left anything behind, then carried the things he brought with him out the door.
After her prospective son-in-law left, Ding Guo stayed in the space to read. She had almost finished buying all the books and periodicals that she had bought from the flea market some time ago.
The limited book materials could no longer satisfy her photographic memory, so she had to keep looking.
I was tired of looking, so I came out of the space and went to check out the jujube tree next door. The well water seemed to be effective. In just a few days, many jujubes had turned red.
Ding Guo picked one and tasted it. The flesh was a bit hard, but quite sweet.
At this rate, she would be able to harvest all the dates before returning to Fengning.
After pouring some more well water, Ding Guo came out, locked the door, and strolled around the area. He knew there was a state-owned restaurant up ahead, so he took out two empty lunch boxes from the space in advance, went in to take a look, and ordered one portion of mutton dumplings and one portion of green onion and pork dumplings to take away.
She found the mutton steamed buns her elder sister-in-law sent her a few days ago very delicious, so she decided to try the mutton dumplings from this state-owned restaurant.
I was carrying the dumplings back home, and as soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw an acquaintance.
Pei Che's friend, Sui Baoguo.
"sister in law!"
"Comrade Baoguo, how come you have time to come here?" Ding Guo smiled and went to open the door, wanting to invite someone in.
Sui Baoguo said quickly: "Sister-in-law, I won't go in. Brother Che called and asked me to send you some meat coupons and grain coupons, and also bought some things."
He bought apples, pickled pork elbows, and two packs of cakes.
Pei Che was not at home, so he had to avoid suspicion.
Ding Guo did not force it. Instead, he was glad that he did not put the dumplings into the space. He simply kept the box of mutton and hung the other box on the handlebars of Sui Baoguo's bicycle.
Sui Baoguo refused, but Ding Guo said, "You can't even drink water if you send me something. You must take these dumplings."
Sui Baoguo stopped insisting after the argument became unpleasant. He said, "Then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law. When Brother Che comes back one day, I will treat you and Brother Che to a meal."
Ding Guo took the things and said with a smile: "Then we will treat you."
After watching Sui Baoguo leave, Ding Guo opened the door and went home.
She went to the kitchen to cut the pork elbow, mashed some garlic, and added a dish of vinegar. She came back and ate a bite of dumplings while dipping the pork elbow in the mashed garlic.
When I found that there were no green vegetables, I took some ready-made stir-fried spinach from the space.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Dayong came back, and Song Yuling came back with him.
Dayong was also holding a net bag in his hand, which contained several lunch boxes and oil paper bags.
Ding Guo took a look and saw the young couple with smiles on their faces and looking relaxed, so he knew that the process of this prospective son-in-law coming to their house was going smoothly.
However, Ding Dayong had drunk a lot of wine, and as soon as he approached, Ding Guo smelled the alcohol.
Ding Dayong knew this himself, so he put down the things in his hands and said, "Sister, I'm going to take a shower."
Song Yuling sat down and chattered with Ding Guo about what happened today: "My parents like Dayong very much."
Her father had been planning to show off his authority as a father-in-law, but when he saw the tall and handsome Ding Dayong, his expression softened immediately.
After chatting for a while, I found that Dayong was a good talker. He was very knowledgeable when talking about work. It was obvious that he put a lot of effort into his work, which made me even more satisfied.
At noon, Ding Dayong volunteered to go to the kitchen to cook. From his skilled demeanor, it was clear that he was no mere show-off.
She is good-looking, can cook, has a lively eye, is not dull, and has a popular job as a reserve driver. The Song family is naturally more and more satisfied with her.
Especially Wu Fang, who didn’t look carefully last time, but today, as the mother-in-law, she looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Song Yuling's brothers and sisters were also very satisfied with this future brother-in-law. The two brothers drank with Ding Dayong, but they couldn't drink more than Dayong and were drunk by him.
Song Yuling giggled as she spoke.
Ding Guo found it funny: "That's your brother."
Even though her brother was drunk by Dayong, she was still smiling foolishly.
Aunt Wu asked Dayong to bring some food to Ding Guo.
No need to cook at night.
The young couple did not have dinner with their sister. Ding Dayong took a shower and changed his clothes, and then the two of them went to see a movie.
Yu Shaofen came over after get off work and asked about today's situation. Knowing that everything went well, she said, "I said Dayong is fine."
The next day at noon, I took Dayong back to the compound to see Grandpa Pei.
