When they left, it was already late. Baby Face took Zhou Jiao in a car and traveled through two "countries" again. Seeing this, Zhou Jiao was amused and enjoyed watching the different pedestrians outside the window, with a smile on her face.
"Want to go out and stroll? Watches, chocolates, and those specialties here are cheaper than over there," Baby Face glanced at her and suddenly said.
Zhou Jiao looked at him in disbelief, "Can I?"
Keep in mind, Baby Face usually had the same serious expression as her dad, all business-like, giving her a lot of pressure. His sudden offer was as rare as a blooming iron tree.
Without a word, Baby Face stopped the car and gestured for her to go quickly.
Oh my! It’s really possible. What a reliable character she has!
Zhou Jiao didn’t hesitate, grabbed her backpack, and dashed outside.
"Ten minutes."
Zhou Jiao didn’t even look back as she waved her hand. Ten minutes? Let alone ten minutes, even if she had five minutes, she would run out to enjoy the free air.
Thus, she ignored Baby Face’s mumbling to himself: "Ah, truly the seed of our Old Captain, hehe... That little girl thought you really had no interest in shopping, I knew you were holding back. The little fox’s tail is showing. She’ll definitely buy chocolates this time..."
Zhou Jiao, running far away, had no idea that this Baby Face who had known her for so long was one of her dad’s soldiers, one of the leaders she resented so much that included her dad.
Rushing in and out of a few stores, Zhou Jiao finally enjoyed the joy of shopping without tickets and queues, with a smiling face.
But unfortunately... even though she was not short on money, she didn’t dare to shop excessively. She hadn’t forgotten how much attention it would draw if an Asian went on a shopping spree among a bunch of blonde-haired and blue-eyed people. It wasn’t like the future where yellow-skinned people had money!
Ten minutes later, Zhou Jiao, with a grin, skipped lightly back to the car holding a small bag of medicine, eager and cheerful.
Seeing this, Baby Face was surprised and looked at the bag in her hand. After a while, he shook his head and chuckled, "Why didn’t you buy some food? The handmade chocolates are nice, with all kinds of flavors."
Could Zhou Jiao say that she had secretly stocked up on a lot of watches, coffee, red wine, handmade chocolates, condensed milk cheese, and some really nice things from this country?
She shook her head with a smile, "Too expensive."
This time she wasn’t lying. All the money on the two savings certificates from Wang Baiwan’s family was exchanged into the local currency, and she had squandered it all in half a month.
Baby Face nodded knowingly and reminded her, "If we stop in Su Country on the way back, bringing some stuff from there would be more cost-effective, as the prices there are relatively much lower than here."
"Sure."
Of course Zhou Jiao knew that. Whenever she went somewhere, she would absolutely not miss the local good stuff. Especially abroad, it would be silly not to loot, and she had casually taken a lot of things.
Given how much Northeast resources Su Country had taken, she was doing her utmost to avenge the elders and villagers. That place had many valuable things, and people there worked lazily.
She heard that many farms didn’t even bother with ripe wheat before deep winter, truly despicable people! In her view, it was because they were idle after having plenty, so by taking their flour and such, she was actually doing them a favor, forcing them to work harder due to the lack of resources.
She had no idea from where a whole train of coal was looted, but she was doing justice for the people, making those guys wise up and stop forcing fellow countrymen to tighten their belts to repay debts.
Thinking about repaying debts, Zhou Jiao got the urge to go back and loot everything again, but unfortunately, her space was still too small. She had pressed and folded everything until it almost exploded before stopping.
She wondered if that last batch of gold Mrs. Lin gave her was donated and if she at least got her money back this time. She couldn’t just take that loss silently.
