Zhou Yuanqing got into the car and laughed heartily, as if all his beautiful dreams had come true.
He was still muttering to himself, "It's good that she's young. Zhang Hongmei has a pretty face. With proper training, she'll definitely be the one I want in the future."
Hehehe, in the future, all of Gu Chuanming's manpower and financial resources will be mine. Hahahaha!
Li Guoliang listened to this lunatic's words from the front, and his palms were sweating. Good heavens, is he courting death?
Xiao Li once said that Zhang Hongmei would be the mistress of the house in the future, and this lunatic actually dared to dream of it. Has he been idle for too long? He's just asking for trouble.
After Zhang Shouyi heard Zhou Yuanqing's words verbatim, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent. "Xiao Li, arrange for men to make their move when he returns. I need the highest level of men."
While eating in the cafeteria, Zhang Hongmei unexpectedly spotted the beautiful Zheng Wenhui. Liu Jingze wasn't there, and Zheng had only approached her once before. Now, Zheng seemed rather smug.
“Zhang, your departure makes room for me. I should be able to join the student council now.” Zheng Wenhui said smugly, giving Shan Mianzhi a tender look.
Dan Mianzhi shuddered in fright and moved closer to Zhang Hongmei.
"Congratulations, Zheng! I hope you can achieve great things and create your own brilliance."
Zheng Wenhui felt very uncomfortable after hearing Zhang Hongmei's sincere congratulations. She had only come to vent her anger, but Zhang Hongmei hadn't held it against her and had even sincerely congratulated her. This made her feel inferior.
With a slumped shoulder, he recalled what his grandmother had told him: Shan Mianzhi had a better family background and was more capable than Liu Jingze, and his family had even invited his grandfather to teach him chess. Yet, he still preferred Liu Jingze. But his grandmother insisted that he get closer to Shan Mianzhi, which put him in a difficult position.
Zhang Hongmei looked at Zheng Wenhui, who suddenly seemed downcast, with some surprise. What was wrong? But the two weren't familiar enough to ask each other about her mood, so she simply lowered her head and ate her food.
Shan Mianzhi no longer brings his own lunch; instead, he eats in the cafeteria like Zhang Hongmei. He's really going all out to pursue this girl.
After school that afternoon, Shan Mianzhi stopped Zhang Hongmei and asked, "I heard you're taking leave starting tomorrow, for a month?"
"Well, I should be able to make it back in time for the exam."
"Do we really have to go? Zhou Yuanqing isn't a good person."
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing, thank you for your concern. Chairman Shan, I have to go now, I need to go back to my hometown to buy some gifts."
After saying that, Zhang Hongmei rode away on her bicycle and went home to call Chengzi to drive her out.
The first place I went to was the building. There was still less than an hour before closing time, but it didn't seem like there were fewer people.
I bought 100 jin of brown sugar, 100 jin of white sugar, and 30 jin of rock sugar on the first floor in one go. I had no choice, since I didn't have enough rock sugar.
They bought another ten pounds of milk candy and ten pounds of fruit-flavored candy. Chengzi was in charge of loading them onto the car, which Zhang Hongmei found made shopping much more convenient.
On the second floor, I ordered ten meters of all the different colored polyester fabrics, and a roll of denim. I also ordered ten kilograms of all five colors of yarn.
Chengzi whispered in Zhang Hongmei's ear, "There are so many, the car probably won't be able to fit them all."
Zhang Hongmei was also worried. "Alright, let's just buy this much. We'll send it over later."
The shopping trip in the building ended in disappointment. "Chengzi, let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store. I need to buy something fresh."
Chengzi certainly wouldn't object. He suggested it himself, and the rest was up to the leader. Besides, if all else failed, he would just drive him there himself.
Upon arriving at the Overseas Chinese Store, Zhang Hongmei bought five jin of chocolate, five jin of chocolate filling, ten croissants, and ten jars of beef sauce. Everything looked so appealing that she reluctantly turned and left.
When Gu Chuanming got home and saw the car full of stuff, he said, “Hongmei, you can drive, and so can Wang Ying. Why don’t you drive back together? You can also take Wang Xinyi with you, so someone can take care of you.”
"Chengzi, hurry up, let's go back to the building."
Gu Chuanming smiled as he looked at the energetic Zhang Hongmei. This girl was just too emotional.
When Zhang Hongmei arrived at the building, she bought a lot of stationery on the second floor, all of which were novel items that she didn't have in her hometown.
I went up to the third floor and bought the old lady a pair of cashmere trousers, and bought a Zhongshan suit for Er Ya, Liu Maocai, and Liu Aiguo each. Then I thought that wasn't right; it's better to leave a group behind than a single person out. So I counted the family members and bought a Zhongshan suit for Li Cuihua, Hu Aifen, Liu Changhe, Wang Hongxi, and the old principal each. I bought cashmere trousers for Liu Changhe's family.
After leaving the building, we said, "Let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store, which closes late. I saw they sell bananas there, let's go buy some."
When we arrived at the store, there were only three large platters of bananas left, so we bought them all. We also got ten cans of oranges, twenty bottles of orange juice, and ten pounds of cookies. We didn't get any cream or butter cookies, but we did buy five pounds of cheese. We gave half of it to Shi Tou San Ya and the rest to the old lady so she could chew on it.
I reluctantly left after seeing that the sales staff were already tidying up the counter.
When he got home, Zhang Shouyi came over too. "How was it? Did you buy everything?"
"I don't know, I just feel like I want to bring everything back with me."
"Hehe, I've prepared two hundred catties of rice for you, in four bags, as well as three 20-catty buckets of soybean oil and one hundred catties of noodles."
"Brother Zhang, do you think I should drive the truck?"
"Hehe, no need, don't worry, it can all fit."
Go wash up quickly, dinner will be ready soon.
Zhang Hongmei was particularly excited at the dinner table, chattering away like a swallow about to return to its nest.
Gu Chuanming glared at Zhang Hongmei helplessly. "Are you alright? Are you that excited?"
"Of course, I've been away for half a year, and I can finally go home."
"Hmph, you don't even think about me?"
"Hehe, I'll be thinking of you as soon as I get home, don't worry!"
"Is she disgusted with me?"
"Grandpa, are you nitpicking? Stop being unreasonable. I'll take you on a trip during summer vacation."
"Why would I need you to guide me?" Gu Chuanming asked Zhang Hongmei arrogantly.
"So you're not coming with me?" Zhang Hongmei teased the old man.
"Hmph, I'll give you one chance to be filial."
The people at the table were trying to suppress their laughter. The father and son bickered every day, and Zhang Hongmei always provoked the old man.
"Alright, alright, thank you for being so generous and giving me this opportunity. Let's go play for a month and then come back. If it weren't for the distance, I would have liked to play for a month and a half."
"Cough cough cough, you've all left, what am I going to do?" Zhang Shouyi quickly interjected, trying to make his presence known.
Zhang Hongmei gave Zhang Shouyi a disdainful look. "Go to work? Do you think someone your age needs to be pampered?"
