The young couple went shopping in a department store and liked everything they saw. In the end, they didn't even have enough money to spend.
"There's a bank next door, why don't we go there and withdraw some money?"
Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Zhao Xingyu wanted to indulge her.
"Goodbye."
Qi Sisi shook her head. They had spent more than a thousand yuan on this trip. Although the things they bought were all good, they were afraid of being targeted if they were so conspicuous in public.
After hearing her concerns, Zhao Xingyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Did you forget that we came here in a military vehicle?"
The license plate number on the jeep was military, and the model was special. Plus, few people could use private cars these days, so their trip was special enough, so this wasn't a big deal.
Qi Sisi scratched her head, a little hesitant.
In addition to buying clothes, they also bought some daily necessities and gifts for their parents-in-law.
After all, it was our first meeting and I was unprepared having just walked past the train station. This time, I went out to buy something without the elders in attendance, which was a lack of etiquette.
"Let go!"
Zhao Xingyu patted her arm soothingly.
"How about we buy it first, and then when Wang Bin comes, we can go to the bank together to withdraw money?"
Qi Sisi was really worried about being targeted.
As for the shopping mall...
The two of them just bought more than a thousand dollars worth of things. The store clerks basically knew about it and kept the things there until the car came to move them away.
After they were told not to take the items away yet and to wait for someone to come and pay before taking them away, the manager quickly welcomed them and personally took them on a tour.
"Where is Mr. Zhao from?"
"I was born in the capital and grew up in the south. This time I came back to visit my relatives." Zhao Xingyu answered casually.
Manager Li nodded. Although he was unable to find out the other party's background, it was good enough to know that the other party was from Beijing and had relatives in Beijing.
He guessed that the relative must be a member of the army and hold a high rank, otherwise how could he have used the express vehicle.
"Would you like to go up and check out our electrical appliances?"
"Domestic electrical appliances are also very good now. For example, this electric kettle can be heated in a few minutes after being plugged in. It is very convenient."
"And once the water boils, the switch will automatically trip and it won't continue to boil, so you don't have to worry about wasting electricity."
The electric kettle is smaller than the kettle, and its capacity is only about two liters. It is made of stainless steel with a plastic handle on the side.
Just press the switch lightly and the lid on top will open.
“It’s really convenient!”
Zhao Xingyu was extremely moved.
How convenient it would be to have an electric kettle like this in winter!
"Only two?"
Seeing that there were only two electric kettles, one black and one white, on the counter, Zhao Xingyu frowned slightly.
"Not enough?"
Manager Li swallowed unconsciously.
"I want to buy two more."
Zhao Xingyu thought that he should at least buy one.
They lived in the capital, used the coins themselves and gave one to the old man; they sent two more back home, one for their parents-in-law and one for their own use.
“Yes, yes!”
Manager Li's mouth was stretched almost to his ears, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Let them get it from the warehouse. What color do you want?"
......
The electric kettle is a Japanese-Japanese joint venture brand. The factory was only opened a few years ago. It is not yet popular and is considered a rare item. Naturally, the price is not cheap.
An electric kettle costs nearly two dollars.
Zhao Xingyu decided on it without blinking an eye. This kind of thing, even if it is a little expensive, is worth it as it can bring great convenience to life.
My wife is pregnant. It’s cold today, and with an electric kettle, she can drink hot water anytime.
This little money is really nothing.
"Would you two like to see our jewelry?"
"We also have a counter selling gold and silver jewelry here. The rings and bracelets are very beautiful."
Manager Li, with little ideas in mind, worked hard to promote the product.
He noticed that the two guests were not wearing rings, and he became tempted.
He is so generous just to let his family drink hot water in winter, so he will not be stingy to buy some accessories for his beloved wife, right?
Zhao Xingyu's eyes brightened and he looked at his wife.
Qi Sisi shook her head slightly.
"It's inconvenient for you to carry it, and it's boring to wear it by yourself."
Zhao Xingyu: ...
That's true.
His profession meant that he was not suitable for using those things. Not only would it affect his training, but if he lost them on the battlefield, his identity would likely be exposed.
But I still feel a little unwilling.
I leaned over to her ear and whispered, "How about I buy you a bracelet?"
Qi Sisi shook her head: "There's no rush now. You forgot that you are pregnant now."
It would be embarrassing if edema occurred in the later stage and the wrist became fat and stuck.
She had really seen this kind of news, but she didn't want to be the one involved...
After repeated refusals, Zhao Xingyu could only accept the result with regret.
Even so, I bought a lot of headbands, scarves, etc. for Qi Sisi...
Qi Sisi was numb.
I wondered if this man had some hidden shopping addiction, and now it was exposed once he arrived at the big shopping mall.
Look at all that stuff. It's really a headache.
After returning home, I wonder what my stepmother-in-law's expression will be...
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Qi Sisi immediately shouted that she was hungry and pulled the person away.
Zhao Xingyu had already made arrangements.
He called a soldier.
Arrived at Xizhimen Street.
"Do you have to run so far just to eat?"
"There's a restaurant here that's very unique. You've definitely never been there."
Zhao Xingyu was mysterious, with a gentle smile on his stern face, rarely showing the youthfulness that should be present at his age.
Qi Sisi said with a smile: "Then we'll just have to wait and see."
The young couple walked into a restaurant hand in hand.
"Moscow Restaurant" was written on the door.
The top is an oval design, and there are carvings on the pillars on both sides, which can be said to be very exquisite.
A sense of Western aesthetics came over me.
Going up the stairs, there was a glass revolving door with doormen standing on both sides, one greeting them and the other pushing the door for them.
The service is very thoughtful.
After entering, the hall is magnificent, with a high ceiling. Hanging in the middle is a large glass lamp, warm yellow in color, emitting white and gold light.
Gives people a sense of luxury.
"Hello, sir."
The waiter came over and greeted us, saying it was in Russian.
Qi Sisi understood.
She learned it in her early years. She can understand and speak simple expressions, but not difficult ones.
"Good."
"Give me some of your specialties, please, and a bottle of white wine."
Zhao Xingyu is familiar with the arrangement.
After the others left, he turned to Sisi and started to do science again.
This Laomoxi restaurant is opened by Russians and is considered a tourist attraction in Beijing. Not only can you see the beauty of Western architecture, but you can also experience a different food culture and feel Western dining etiquette.
His mother had brought him here when he was a child. At that time, they were still married and lived as a family.
Now he and Sisi, as well as the baby in her belly, are also a family...
Qi Sisi rested her chin on her hands, smiling as she looked at him quietly.
"What's up?"
Zhao Xingyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
It's not that there's anything wrong with his wife's eyes, it's that direct gaze that's gentle and tolerant, and it carries so much affection... He's a little shy.
"I just feel that things are good now!"
