Chapter 138
After dinner, Zhou Jiani washed the clothes she had taken off and hung them up to dry. After they were dried, Yu Wanxia helped her put them away.
After that, she packed her luggage again and just put in two sets of clothes. When she went to the capital, she would definitely go shopping in the shopping malls there and buy some more clothes for herself.
She first sized the clothes, and when Qiu Zeming came back from the factory with his bag and the letter of introduction, she put several handbags in the bag, and the two of them took their luggage and walked towards the town.
The village was busy now, and there was a bustling scene everywhere, so the two of them didn't ask anyone to send them off. They carried the boxes and bags, and Zhou Jiani also took the backpack to make it easier for her to carry things, and now she hung it on Qiu Zeming's shoulder.
Zhou Jiani said to Qiu Zeming, "When we get to the capital, please arrange a guesthouse for me. I'll take a shower, get some sleep, and then go see your family refreshed."
Qiu Zeming: "Yes, it's already been arranged." He then said softly, "After we get engaged, you can just stay at my house when you go to the capital."
When he said this, he turned his head to look at Zhou Jiani, with expectation in his eyes.
Zhou Jiani smiled and rolled her eyes at him. It seemed like if this guy didn't mention it often, she would forget about the engagement.
They arrived early and waited for more than ten minutes before the bus came. The conductor was very enthusiastic when he saw them and even reserved two seats for them.
I asked Zhou Jiani, "I heard you went to the Canton Fair? What was it like there?" Then I sighed, "Wow, your knitting factory in the Qianjin Brigade is really amazing now. It was even in the newspaper last month."
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "I'll come back in a few days."
On the second day of the Canton Fair, the city newspaper published an article about the Qianjin Knitting Factory's successful opening.
When Li Jingdang comes back to hold a commendation meeting, the newspaper will come to interview him, and the photos taken before might be used.
Not only the ticket seller was curious, but the passengers on the bus also found it interesting and asked questions. Zhou Jiani patiently answered them and told them about the Canton Fair and some experiences in the south.
After getting off the bus in the county town, the two went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. Qiu Zeming ordered shepherd's purse dumplings, then took out three empty lunch boxes and asked the kitchen to cook two more boxes of dumplings and a box of braised pork to take away, and bought ten large steamed buns.
Eat in the car.
Zhou Jiani felt very regretful while eating shepherd's purse dumplings. When it was time to dig wild vegetables, she was so busy that she was running around. Then she went to the south again. When she came back, she had to rush to the capital without stopping. When she came back, she was transferred to another job. By the time she finished, the season when the wild vegetables were the tenderest had passed.
Otherwise, if you go to the black markets in towns and counties, you will definitely be able to buy a lot of fresh wild vegetables to sell, and they are pure natural and pollution-free.
Wrong one hundred million!
Next year she will have to sell some wild vegetables.
Seeing her biting the dumplings fiercely, Qiu Zeming said with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Jiani: "This is the first time I've eaten such delicious shepherd's purse this year. I feel like I've missed out."
Qiu Zeming smiled. "Liu Yan and I have transplanted more than a dozen shepherd's purse plants from the mountain. We'll try to cultivate them after we collect the seeds. If we succeed, we can eat shepherd's purse dumplings all year round."
Zhou Jiani's eyes lit up. Before she could open her mouth to praise the person, the chef from the restaurant came over and said with a smile, "Comrade Qiu, if you serve fresh shepherd's purse in autumn and winter, don't forget our unit."
Qiu Zeming shook his head and smiled: "I was just saying it, it's not certain whether it will work or not, but you're already thinking about it."
The ears are so pointy.
The chef laughed, "It's a good idea to think about it early. I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it when I get there."
Then he turned around and told the front desk that they didn't need tickets for this table.
After the chef left, Zhou Jiani murmured in agreement, "Every brigade is planning to start greenhouse operations this year. There will be competition, but the impact won't be particularly significant. However, if we can grow something different, that would also be quite outstanding. Our brigade's greenhouse business will definitely be the most outstanding this year. Comrade Xiao Qiu, you can do it."
Qiu Zeming raised his eyebrows and smiled when he was praised.
It was with this in mind that he took Liu Yan and the others to secretly transplant wild vegetables, even hiding it from those who came to learn. He would definitely not teach the greenhouse technology to others, but he could keep some skills in other areas.
As for the chef hearing it, he wasn't worried at all, because the chef didn't know that this was a trick he had in mind.
After dinner, I took my luggage and lunch box and went to the station.
Actually, I arrived quite early and just waited boredly in the lobby.
Zhou Jiani took her backpack from Qiu Zeming's shoulder, opened it, took out two books, and read one each to pass the time.
Qiu Zeming noticed that his girlfriend loved studying and reading. He had also heard from her parents that Xiao Zhou had always been at the top of her class. So he asked, "Do you read textbooks from the capital? If so, bring some back from your trip. Or, if you have any other favorite books, I'll ask someone to help find them for you."
Zhou Jiani's eyes lit up: "Yes, I want the textbooks, and other books too..."
When the time came, we got on the train and found their private room. There was already a middle-aged man inside, reading a newspaper. When he saw the two of them come in, he nodded.
Qiu Zeming said "hello" and went to arrange their luggage.
The sleeper ticket comes with one middle berth and one lower berth. Zhou Jiani chose the middle berth and asked Qiu Zeming to put her suitcase near the inside of her feet and her backpack next to the suitcase. Then she climbed up and lay down to rest.
Qiu Zeming packed his own luggage, took his and Zhou Jiani's water bottles, and asked the flight attendant to fill them with water. He screwed the lids on tightly, placed one on the bedside table for Zhou Jiani, covered her with the quilt, and leaned over the bed railing. He looked at the person so close with his bright dark eyes and whispered, "Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything!"
Zhou Jiani looked at him sideways, and seeing that he was staring eagerly, she reached out and gently touched the tip of Qiu Zeming's nose.
He held her hand, rubbed her fingertips twice, put it to her mouth and kissed it, and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Zhou Jiani smiled and nodded. Seeing that he didn't move, she asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to lie down?"
Qiu Zeming clung to the edge of the bed, his eyes full of greed, and whispered even more quietly, "I'll watch you sleep."
Zhou Jiani rolled her eyes and smiled, pushing him: "Go lie down!"
Qiu Zeming: "Close your eyes..."
The uncle who was reading a newspaper on the next bed put down the newspaper, sighed, got up and went out.
Zhou Jiani laughed muffledly.
Qiu Zeming suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth.
The brief warmth on her lips made Zhou Jiani's heart flutter a little. She moved away and the two began to kiss.
The middle-aged comrade stayed outside for a few minutes and came back. He deliberately coughed loudly before coming in. After coming in, he received a small bag of tea from Qiu Zeming.
Zhou Jiani lay facing inside and browsed her phone without saying a word, her mouth numb.
The food sold in the group right now was very much to her liking, spicy konjac vegetarian tripe, and she grabbed two boxes.
There were boxes of instant noodles, one box each of spicy beef flavor and mutton flavor. Then someone opened the box and bought ten pieces of beef tendon intestines.
Buy the small package of spicy kelp slices!
Chopped pepper lettuce, buy!
After Qiu Zeming and another passenger fell asleep, Zhou Jiani took out the things, left a few packets of spicy vegetarian tripe and spicy kelp slices, put the rest away, and ate them secretly.
They are all spicy, and the more I eat, the more addictive I become, especially the konjac. I even regretted not buying enough, but when I checked the group, they were sold out, and I sighed with regret.
After eating the remaining food, he took out another handful from the warehouse.
This led to Qiu Zeming waking up the next morning with a bewildered look on his face as he looked at the blisters on her mouth. Seeing that the passenger had gone out to wash up, he whispered guiltily, "Did I bite you last night?"
He was so engrossed in the kiss that it felt like his soul was floating away, and he completely forgot about the details. Now that he has bitten his partner's mouth like this, Comrade Xiao Zhou will not be angry, right?
Zhou Jiani also felt guilty and didn't dare to look Qiu Zeming in the eye. Not only was there a bubble on her mouth, but her throat was also uncomfortable. She drank a sip of water to moisten her throat before saying, "No, maybe I'm tired from traveling all the time."
I regret it so much, and my stomach is burning.
Qiu Zeming looked distressed and held his partner's hand: "This is all to accommodate me."
Zhou Jiani held the cup in her other hand and lowered her head to drink water. She took the time to send red envelopes in the group to urgently buy aloe vera gel. She was photographed at 10 o'clock in the morning. She went to the bathroom to take it out, applied some, and put on a thick mask.
Next, Qiu Zeming took care of him carefully.
It was 7pm when they arrived in the capital. After exiting the station, Qiu Zeming glanced at the crowd and saw Ge Junhui waving at him. He walked over with Zhou Jiani, saying, "Cousin!" He then introduced Zhou Jiani, "This is my cousin Ge Junhui." He then said to Ge Junhui, "This is my girlfriend Zhou Jiani."
Zhou Jiani smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, Comrade Ge."
I regret once again eating snacks without restraint. Alas, my image is not perfect anymore.
Ge Junhui smiled and shook hands. "Hello, Comrade Zhou. You've had a hard time following Zeming all the way here. Get in the car first."
Qiu Zeming first politely opened the car door for Zhou Jiani before carrying the luggage and putting it in the trunk.
Ge Junhui raised his eyebrows.
After getting in the car, Qiu Zeming asked, "Is this the military district guesthouse?"
Ge Junhui: "Of course, you still don't trust me to do things?" Then he turned his head slightly and said to Zhou Jiani, "Comrade Zhou, please stay in the capital for a few more days this time. Let Zeming take you around and have some fun."
Before Zhou Jiani could speak, Qiu Zeming, in his Beijing accent, drawled, "Where's the time? The village's waiting to hold a commendation meeting for Jiani, and there are reporters interviewing her. Then there's the job transfer, and my partner's busy... I have a long life ahead of me, plenty of time to explore. I don't mind a little while."
Zhou Jiani kicked his foot lightly.
The two of them really had no plans to go shopping on this trip, and at most they had half a day to visit the department stores in the city.
Ge Junhui gritted his teeth and started showing off again, but he still asked flatteringly: "What commendation meeting? And there are also reporters interviewing? Wow, my sister-in-law is so outstanding."
Qiu Zeming grinned and said, "How could my partner not be excellent?"
Ge Junhui: "...you, speak properly!"
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "It's nothing. This commendation meeting isn't just for me, but for all the employees of the knitting factory. The reporters' interviews mainly want to report on our achievements at the Canton Fair..."
Ge Junhui was surprised: "Canton Fair? Sister-in-law, are you going to the Canton Fair?"
Qiu Zeming stretched out his tone and said, "That's not..."
Ge Junhui: "Don't talk, let your sister-in-law talk. I have a toothache just listening to you talking."
Zhou Jiani smiled and glanced at Qiu Zeming, saying, "Because our factory's woven products are so good, we were honored to participate in this year's spring Canton Fair and successfully established cooperative relationships with many countries..."
Ge Junhui: Why does this tune feel familiar?
When the car arrived at the military district guesthouse, Ge Junhui finally figured out that his sister-in-law was praising the products of their weaving factory in the same way that Qiu Zeming praised his girlfriend, neither of them was subtle.
I've seen people putting gold on their faces, but I've never seen people burying their faces in gold.
The room was already ready. Qiu Zeming helped carry the luggage upstairs. He looked at her slightly swollen upper lip, gently touched it with the back of his hand, and said, "Does it hurt?"
In order to protect Zhou Jiani's reputation, the two stayed in the house with the door open.
Zhou Jiani had been applying aloe vera gel like crazy today, and now her lips were a little deflated. It didn't hurt much, but she felt a little uncomfortable. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. Let's go downstairs and eat hot pot."
Qiu Zeming heard that there was no one outside, so he hugged her and said gently: "You are still getting angry, so don't eat hot pot. I will take you to eat something light..."
This is the retribution for overeating? This is not okay.
Zhou Jiani said, "Well, don't change it. Didn't your cousin already make the reservation? Besides, it's so hard for him to come here, it would be a shame not to have some hot pot. It's okay, it's already like this. If I don't have hot pot tonight, I won't be able to get better tomorrow!"
Qiu Zeming was still frowning, so Zhou Jiani grabbed him and walked out, saying, "Let's have some roast duck before we go."
It would be best to find a way to get rid of her boyfriend and take a few roast ducks away.
