"I was in such a hurry to leave today that I forgot to bring my glasses. Luckily I came with this little girl, otherwise I would have had to get really close to see the prices."
The old lady held Zheng Yuanjie's hand and spoke slowly.
Zheng Yuanjie looked at Chu Zhaozhao and said, "Thank you for today. I hope my wife didn't cause you any trouble. I asked her to wait for me to go to the supermarket together, but she insisted that the vegetables would be fresher if we went too early..."
After Zheng Yuanjie finished speaking, he smiled helplessly, and the old lady also smiled kindly.
Chu Zhaozhao felt that Zheng Yuanjie and his wife had a very good relationship, especially the old lady who looked like a literary and artistic worker, which seemed to explain why the two of them had no children.
"Come, let me bring it up. Are you free to come to my house for dinner today?" Zheng Yuanjie said to Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao was a little flattered. Westerners think that inviting others to dinner at home is a very private thing, and they are either family members or friends or neighbors with whom they have a good relationship.
Chu Zhaozhao was surprised that she had such an opportunity, but subconsciously she still wanted to refuse.
"Just come on over. We only have one dog at home, so it's usually deserted. My husband cooks delicious Western food, you can come and try it."
There was longing in the old lady's eyes, and Chu Zhaozhao felt embarrassed to let such a couple keep inviting her, so she simply agreed.
After paying the bill, the three of them walked out of the supermarket and headed towards their own apartment building.
"Today I'm not Director Zheng. Just treat me as your neighbor. It's nothing special for us to have a meal together as neighbors. It's perfectly normal." Zheng Yuanjie said softly.
Chu Zhaozhao nodded quickly, but still felt a little restrained.
The old lady looked at Chu Zhaozhao again and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. Are you an actor too?"
"My name is Chu Zhaozhao. You can just call me Zhaozhao. Everyone calls me that. I am an actor." Chu Zhaozhao answered honestly.
Zheng Yuanjie took over and said seriously: "Not only is he an actor, he is also a very good actor."
Chu Zhaozhao immediately became humble. The old lady looked at Chu Zhaozhao and seemed even more curious about her.
Chu Zhaozhao pressed the elevator and went upstairs, then put the things she bought into the refrigerator.
Chu Zhaozhao looked around the house to see if there was anything she could give as a gift, after all, it was her first time visiting someone else's house.
After searching for a long time, it seemed that there was nothing I could give as a gift. I finally found a set of unused cups, but then I realized that giving cups as a gift didn't seem like a good idea.
I was thinking of sending some fruit over, as the old lady also bought some fruit just now.
"System, do you think I should send something over? It wouldn't be nice to go empty-handed, and I don't have anything to show for it. What do you think?"
[System: Master, if you don't have anything worthwhile to offer, it's better not to send it. Go with a sincere and grateful heart.]
After hearing the system's answer, Chu Zhaozhao felt that it made sense. Just as she was about to comb her hair before going to Zheng Yuanjie's house, a Samoyed rushed in.
"Hey, what are you looking for?"
The dog sniffed around Chu Zhaozhao's living room, and then bit something in its mouth. Chu Zhaozhao hurried over to check, not caring whose dog it was.
The dog bit a bracelet, and Chu Zhaozhao then remembered that she had placed it on the table in the living room when she took it off yesterday. She might have accidentally knocked it off when she was picking up something yesterday.
If the dog hadn't bitten the bracelet, Chu Zhaozhao might not have remembered that she had placed it in the living room.
"You can't eat it, good dog, open your mouth."
Chu Zhaozhao grabbed the dog and gently stroked its head.
The Samoyed gave Chu Zhaozhao an angelic smile, but was unwilling to let go.
"You can like it, you can play with it, but you can't eat it, understand?"
Samoyed's fur was very smooth and soft. Chu Zhaozhao felt very comfortable touching it and started playing with the Samoyed unconsciously.
"Hey hey hey, you can't eat it, open your mouth!"
Seeing that the Samoyed was about to eat, Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly grabbed its mouth and pulled the bracelet out of the Samoyed's mouth.
"Paopao, why are you here at someone else's house and causing trouble for them?"
The old lady was originally looking for her dog at home, and she came out to look for it when she found that the dog was missing. Chu Zhaozhao's door was not closed, and she happened to hear the noise again, so she came in to check.
You won’t know until you see it. You will find that your dog is about to eat someone else’s bracelet.
"Pop, please open your mouth quickly. You are the best boy. You won't eat it, right?" The old lady said to the Samoyed patiently.
The Samoyed seemed to understand, but it didn't seem happy. It looked at the old lady before reluctantly letting go.
The bracelet was already stained with Bubbles' saliva, and the old lady apologized to Chu Zhaozhao.
"Zhao Zhao, how much is this bracelet? I will definitely compensate you. My Paopao is always like this. He wants to go out as soon as he sees you. He might have seen that your door was not closed and came in."
"No need to compensate. If it likes it, I'll make a necklace for it next time."
Chu Zhaozhao touched the Samoyed again and asked, "I'll make a necklace for you and let you wear it every day. Would you like it?"
The Samoyed barked twice softly, as if responding to Chu Zhaozhao's words.
Chu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "He's quite polite and knows not to disturb others."
"Paopao really likes this kind of thing. He'll even bite it if we have one at home. He almost swallowed it once. If we hadn't discovered it in time, the old dog would have been killed..."
The old lady looked at the Samoyed and shook her head. It seemed that she was saying something bad about the dog, but in fact, she felt very sorry for Bubble.
"Zhao Zhao, let's go over there. My old man should be cooking. I'll make you a cup of coffee first, and then we can chat."
After the old lady finished speaking, she grabbed Bubble, and Chu Zhaozhao followed the old lady's pace.
The decoration styles of the two homes are completely different. The decoration of the old lady and Zheng Yuanjie's home is more Western-style, while Chu Zhaozhao's home is simple.
For no other reason than to save money on simple decoration.
"Zhao Zhao, are there any dietary restrictions?" Zheng Yuanjie asked in the kitchen.
"I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever you cook." Chu Zhaozhao said seriously.
Only then did Chu Zhaozhao realize that the kitchen at home was open, and she could clearly see the old lady grinding coffee by hand.
The old lady and Zheng Yuanjie were talking about what had just happened. She spoke a sentence and Zheng Yuanjie replied, and every sentence really had a response.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at the backs of the two people and felt a little envious unconsciously.
"Bubu Bubble too, why does she like these beads so much? What if she eats them again..."
"Just eat it. As long as Bubble is happy, that's all. Bubble is not stupid, so she may not eat it again."
"Of course not. I just saw it. If it weren't for Zhao Zhao, it would have swallowed it. I guess Bubble still hasn't learned its lesson."
The two of them were busy with their own things in the kitchen, but there was no awkwardness as they chatted without interrupting their hands' movements.
