struggle in a small town

Chapter 39 You Are Treacherous
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the shopping mall closes at five o'clock in a very humane manner.

Most of the shopkeepers and shopping guides hurried out, some were going to buy new year's goods, and some were rushing back to their hometowns.

Zhang Xuejiao doesn't have to worry about either.

Lin Zhiyuan took the initiative to invite her to visit the supermarket to see if there is anything she needs, and he can also help carry things.

Zhang Xuejiao didn't want to go.

After standing for a day, she wanted to go home and lie down.

Lin Zhiyuan grabbed her arm helplessly: "You have to buy couplets for Chinese New Year, right? You also have to prepare some melon seeds and peanuts for your own nest. What if someone comes to visit?"

"I'll just take it from home."

Lin Zhiyuan was even more helpless: "Sooner or later you will get married and start a small family. You can't just go back to your mother's house to get something if you need it?"

Zhang Xuejiao squinted at him, feeling that this guy had malicious intentions.

But it's just a supermarket, what can I do?
Just go.

Lin Zhiyuan had the foresight to take her to the underground parking lot.

Zhang Xuejiao was still puzzled: "I didn't drive, so what are you doing here?"

"The shopping cart has been robbed long ago. Someone must be unloading the goods in the parking lot after shopping. Let's go find a leak."

After Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "Did you not go to the supermarket during Chinese New Year?"

"No shopping."

"Then your family is right, your parents bought it."

As Lin Zhiyuan said, there are still many people unloading goods in the parking lot, but there are people waiting to take over the shopping carts.

Seeing this scene for the first time, Zhang Xuejiao was quite shocked: "Such an exaggeration? Why don't we join in the fun."

"What about melon seeds and peanuts?"

"It's easy!" Zhang Xuejiao's voice was a little softer: "Just get some from home, anyway, my parents buy a lot."

Lin Zhiyuan really wanted to hit her on the head, but he couldn't bear it: "I just said it, you can't rely on your parents for everything."

"OK then."

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, the two still grabbed a shopping cart.

Sure enough, the supermarket is crowded with people.

Many people just had a holiday today. Not only are they unprepared for the new year, but their homes are still in a mess, and they are very anxious.

Lin Zhiyuan pushed the shopping cart and saw that Zhang Xuejiao was at least one foot away from him, obviously not close enough.

He reminded in a flat tone: "There are too many people, it's not good to get separated, you can hold my arm."

Zhang Xuejiao finally understood what this guy meant, so she was waiting here.

She smiled back and asked, "Do you want to kiss you again?"

Lin Zhiyuan wasn't embarrassed at all, instead he followed her words: "Okay."

Zhang Xuejiao withdrew her smile: "It's a beautiful idea."

Lin Zhiyuan's original intention was just to try it out, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.

Passing by the clothing area, he pretended to take a pair of men's cotton slippers casually, and threw them into the shopping cart naturally: "Put a pair of my slippers for your house."

Zhang Xuejiao looked at the shopping cart, then at the cotton slippers on the shelf, and reached for another pair of the largest size: "You are right, in case there are guests at home, you should really prepare them in advance."

Lin Zhiyuan's face darkened.

He didn't want another man to go.

It's best to have only his men's shoes in the shoe cabinet.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuejiao instantly understood what he was thinking, and didn't try to expose it, but only prodded him: "You know, I have many male friends, and you are just one of them."

Lin Zhiyuan wasn't angry at all, instead he was in a better mood. After all, he was the only one who managed to send the cotton slippers in among so many male friends.

Don't underestimate this pair of shoes, he is confident that he will be able to live in them sooner or later.

Seeing that he was happy again, Zhang Xuejiao turned around and guessed what he was thinking: "Hey, you are so treacherous that you do things one by one."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile and stopped talking.

Everyone is like this, if Zhang Xuejiao picks things up again, it will be unreasonable.

The two walked around the crowd for more than an hour, but in the end they only bought things like candy peanuts.

Unlike other customers, rice noodles, oil, meat, eggs, milk, a cart full of mess.

At the checkout place, Zhang Xuejiao was really shocked by the long queue.

She even wanted to put everything back and not buy it.

Lin Zhiyuan took her arm: "At most 10 minutes, just wait."

Zhang Xuejiao had a bitter face: "I've been standing all day, and I still have to stand here as punishment. I'm tired."

Lin Zhiyuan stretched out his arms: "Then you rely on me."

Zhang Xuejiao took two steps to the side: "You are so treacherous."

Within 2 minutes, more people lined up behind him.

An old couple next to them had already made preparations. The old man took two foldable small benches, opened them and handed one to the old lady.

Old couples are the most enviable.

Looking at them, Zhang Xuejiao softened her heart unconsciously.

Who doesn't want to grow old?
It's just that a good mate is hard to find, and people's hearts are changeable.

The lovers who love each other today may become enemies who turn against each other the next day.

I can't wait to strangle the other party to death, or scold myself for being blind.

Lin Zhiyuan tugged at her sleeve lightly: "Move forward."

"Oh."

After finally getting out of the supermarket, Zhang Xuejiao felt that her hair was messed up.

Untied it casually, put the rubber band in her mouth, used her fingers as a comb to smooth it out, and tied a ponytail again.

In Lin Zhiyuan's eyes, this scene was particularly pleasing to the eye.

I don't know when I will be able to watch her make up every day.

After Zhang Xuejiao was done, Lin Zhiyuan started to trick her again: "Send the things home first, and then go eat?"

"I don't want to make a fuss anymore." Zhang Xuejiao just wanted to lie down: "There are instant noodles at home, so I can eat whatever I want."

"Then buy something to eat at home."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't wait for her to answer, and walked forward on his own.

He remembered that there was a delicatessen nearby that had been open for 20 years, and the taste was absolutely fine.

Zhang Xuejiao followed behind: "Isn't it good to go back to each house?"

"Anyway, we all have to eat, and we can eat a few more things together."

Zhang Xuejiao really didn't have the energy to break up with him, so she endured it.

Passing by a hair salon, Lin Zhiyuan looked over, there were many customers inside.

Mostly women, some straightening, curling, and dyeing.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Xuejiao's big waves, as if she had always been like this for half a year.

"You don't do your hair during Chinese New Year?"

Zhang Xuejiao also glanced at the hair salon and shook her head.

Lin Zhiyuan was quite surprised.

He thought Zhang Xuejiao was a girl who loved beauty, but he didn't expect that she didn't do her hair.

Can't ask directly, he beat around the bush: "My mother always has her hair permed before Chinese New Year."

"My mother is too." Zhang Xuejiao couldn't help laughing: "Do you remember? When I was young, there was something popular about 'beck and stop'. My mother's bangs are high and curled up. I really don't think it looks good."

"Well, my mother got burned too."

Zhang Xuejiao's eyes crooked: "Sometimes I don't understand, she is so ugly, but she still likes it."

"As long as they're happy."

"That's true."

Lin Zhiyuan asked timely: "Then why don't you do your hair?"

"It's not necessary." Zhang Xuejiao said and pulled her ponytail: "I roll it myself, just follow my dad, don't worry about it at all."

"Really? I thought you were burned."

"It's so troublesome." Zhang Xuejiao pursed her mouth: "I just don't have the patience to sit for a few hours. If I have that time, I might as well go home and sleep."

"Well, let's buy something to eat and go home."
