"I heard that the First Department Store has set up a separate gold jewelry counter this time. Uncle Da Yi was so excited when he heard the news that he even went to queue."
Zhang Guoqing looked at his youngest son speechlessly, as if saying, "Did you just remind me of that?" Da Yi is always boasting about small things at our place, and it seems like he has spoiled his son!
He knows even more. On the opening day, people gathered around in layers upon layers, but there were more onlookers than actual buyers.
This also shows that after the Great Cultural Revolution ended, people’s pursuits in life have changed significantly. They are no longer limited to food, clothing, and necessities—they’ve started seeking pursuits on a spiritual level.
However, it’s still too early; we have to wait a bit longer. But he could buy some beautiful coats for his wife first, which she can wear later.
"We’ll leave first. You might want to watch a movie sometime," Miao Lishan said, then invited everyone to leave, as she didn’t want to embarrass her daughter Jiao Jiao.
The group hurriedly got into the car and drove away quickly, leaving Zhang Guoqing laughing quietly as he pulled Zhou Jiao into the car.
This car was assigned to him by the authorities, but he didn’t like being chauffeured around and preferred driving himself. Although he hadn’t given his wife gold jewelry, he hadn’t forgotten small surprises.
Occasionally, he finds time to pick up his wife after work, and sometimes takes her to pick flowers...
Can a little kid understand the fun in it?
Looking out of the car window, Ping’an restrained his smile and fell into deep thought, his right hand instinctively tapping on his knee—once, twice...
The rhythm was noticeable enough that Zhou Xiaozheng couldn’t ignore it; it seemed like trouble was brewing.
He glanced sideways at Liu Yi.
—Also absentmindedly echoing his grandmother. Upon careful observation, Liu Yi’s left hand on his lap occasionally tapped his knee.
A glitter flashed in Zhou Xiaozheng’s eyes, causing him to smile inadvertently.
It was just as he expected!
Once home, he deliberately went straight into the study, looking at the three little tails trailing behind him. As he calmly removed his military cap and placed it on the desk, he released the coat clasp.
The four of them sat down quietly as if facing off against each other, without speaking a word. After Aunt Chen brought tea and closed the door behind her, they exchanged glances.
Ping’an nodded his chin towards May 1st.
Seeing this, May 1st immediately straightened his lazy body and sat upright, looking at Zhou Xiaozheng, grinning before speaking, "Grandpa, there’s something I’d like your advice on."
Having composedly picked up his tea, Zhou Xiaozheng asked casually without lifting his head, "Didn’t we agree on it last night?"
"Hehe, Grandpa, you’re not being honest."
Zhou Xiaozheng chuckled upon hearing this; knowing that with this mischievous kid around, he had to refrain from taking a sip, or else he’d embarrass himself. "Go ahead, I’m all ears."
"You see, besides brother preparing for the college entrance exam, do my younger brother and I have plenty of free time?"
Hmm, not bad. When it comes to serious matters, it’s little brother; otherwise, it’s just ’Second this, Second that!’ But Zhou Xiaozheng wasn’t ready to play along at that moment. He wanted to see what plans the three of them had.
"Bored? Alright, I’ll send you to the military camp."
May 1st studied his expression, then laughed slyly, "Grandpa, could we make a deal and be upfront about it?"
Zhou Xiaozheng looked at him with interest, then at the other two kids, nodding slightly with restraint.
Seeing this gesture, the three brothers exchanged smiles and immediately straightened up, with May 1st being the first to speak, "We want to do a big business."
