"Happy New Year, Miss Bingbing." Qin Xiaobao turned on the speakerphone in the car.
"Happy New Year, Director Qin." The young lady's voice was still very pleasant: "Are you still at the farm?"
The two of them have been chatting on WeChat in the past few days, so they know each other's New Year's Eve quite clearly.
"Yes." There was a curve ahead, so Qin Xiaobao slowed down a bit.
"Why is it so quiet and you didn't hear the dog barking?" Wang Bingbing was a little surprised.
"Oh, I'm driving right now, on my way to the city for shopping. By the way, do you know how to make pickled cabbage with white meat?"
"You want to cook?" Wang Bingbing smiled and said, "Of course I know. Pickled cabbage and white meat are Northeast specialties, so of course I can."
"Just in time, I'm going to buy sauerkraut. Do you have any special requirements?"
"We all use sauerkraut from Northeast China when we make it at home. I wonder what you have."
"Yes!" Qin Xiaobao tapped his index finger on the steering wheel: "How about I arrive later, take a few photos, and you can choose?"
"Okay, no problem." Wang Bingbing agreed happily: "I should go to the vegetable market to buy sauerkraut. Is your place open?"
"I don't know, don't they sell it in supermarkets?" Qin Xiaobao still rarely goes to these places.
"Not necessarily. You should go to the market first and have a look."
"Okay, then I'll go to the market later." Qin Xiaobao didn't want to take a wrong turn.
"Director Qin, when will you return to Magic City?" Wang Bingbing asked.
"Not necessarily. It's the tenth day of the lunar month in the company. There's nothing going on. As long as Mr. Liu is in charge of the work, it doesn't matter whether I come back or not." Qin Xiaobao opened the window a little and let some air in: "What about you, you didn't go visit relatives today.
?”
"Didn't I tell you last night that I would go tomorrow?" Wang Bingbing was not happy: "I have such a bad memory."
"Didn't you just mention it? I remember you were going to your grandma's house on the eighth day of the lunar month for her seventieth birthday, right?"
"Well, forget it, I forgive you a lot." Wang Bingbing was not really angry. She felt that she was not in the magic city, so the two of them chatted more. It was a good start: "Then you stay at the farm every day.
Isn’t it boring?”
Qin Xiaobao unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth: "You asked me this too. Actually, it's okay. I was busy enough last year. Now that I can have some free time and don't have an endless schedule, I already feel quite happy. I don't dare to dislike it."
"I really want to be busy." Wang Bingbing's sadness can be felt through the phone.
"Don't worry, the schedule is coming soon. Brother Chao said on the day of the annual meeting that he will join the group in early March. Don't think you have too few roles. Learn more, listen more, and watch more."
"I know, I'm not a child, do you just plan to spend this year on the farm?"
"Not necessarily, I might go out in a few days. I plan to go to Tianjin on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"Huh?! It can't be..." The young lady was alert.
"What can it be?" Qin Xiaobao didn't hear it: "I want to go to the unboxing performance of Deyun Society."
"Oh, it's nothing!" Wang Bingbing's tone became much lighter: "I also like Guo Degang's cross talk."
"If you want to call me Teacher Guo, you are now an insider. It's not appropriate to call him by his first name."
"I can't change it at once, I will pay attention to it in the future." The young lady accepted humbly: "Are you sure about the itinerary?"
"It won't change basically. I have nothing to do. I won't go to school until early March, and there are still a few days in between."
"Okay, then you just concentrate on driving and I won't disturb you. Pay attention to your safety."
"Bye-Bye!"
"goodbye."
After getting on the highway, the speed of the car was much faster. Now there were almost no cars on the road. Qin Xiaobao was humming a song and was in a very happy mood.
After a while, as I entered the city, I felt that the speed of the cars in front had slowed down, and they were leaning to the side one after another, and police cars could also be seen.
"It couldn't have been an accident, right?" Qin Xiaobao was a little worried.
The car behind has already caught up, and now it can't turn around, so it can only move forward slowly with the flow of traffic.
When I walked in, I felt relieved. It was just a DUI investigation and there was no accident.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was his turn.
"Hello, please show me your driver's license." An uncle police officer saluted at the window.
"Okay." Qin Xiaobao cooperated very well. He took it out from the co-pilot and handed it over: "We are checking for drunk driving early in the morning, isn't it usually at night?"
"The Chinese New Year is a little special." The uncle looked at the book and then at the person: "Huh? Are you that Qin Xiaobao?"
"Ah...it's me." Qin Xiaobao smiled: "You know me too?"
"How can we know each other? The official media praised him by name. As people in the system, we must know it too." The uncle also laughed: "What's more, you are also from Su City, let alone you."
"So I'm so famous."
"Famous people also need to be inspected. Mr. Qin, didn't you drink?" The uncle raised his eyebrows: "I don't want to see our city's celebrities in the news for drunk driving."
"Don't worry, absolutely not." Qin Xiaobao got out of the car and blew in cooperation.
"Well, it's normal. You can go now. Have a nice trip." The uncle saluted again.
"Thank you, and I wish you a happy New Year." Qin Xiaobao waved and drove away. It was not easy for the policeman, who was celebrating the New Year and was still at work.
While waiting just now, I took out the shopping list prepared by Yaya in advance and looked at it. If the vegetable market is open, I only need to go to two places.
He was still familiar with Sioux City. He turned the steering wheel and headed to the nearest pedestrian street.
Fortunately, many shops on the street were already open, with lights and colorful decorations, which made them very festive. Moreover, the music inside made Qin Xiaobao very happy.
It wasn't any other song, it was the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" that he provided to Liu Tianwang. It seemed like he was back on earth again. It felt quite familiar. To be honest, he felt a little proud.
He is a qualified porter.
On the other side of the city, there is a clothing store endorsed by Qin Xiaobao, which also sells sports shoes, but I am too lazy to run there.
When I saw a 361 degree store, I put on a mask and walked in.
After some selection, we returned home with a full load.
You can't favor one over another. Except for Dazhu, the other three people asked Yaya for their sizes, and each of them had two pairs of shoes.
The merchant gave me a discount, but I'm not sure if it's really cheap, but I gave him a few pairs of socks, which was pretty good.
In addition, there are five sets of sportswear, rich and willful!
Then, we went to the market.
Contrary to what I imagined, it was not deserted inside, but quite lively.
Yes, vegetables and meat are all consumables. It has been several days. Even if there is some food stored at home, it is almost finished and needs to be replenished.
For businessmen, making money is more important than celebrating the New Year, and they have to eat.
When he went in, he saw that there were several kinds of sauerkraut. Seeing that he was hesitant, the enthusiastic vendor gave his idea and took a box after asking about the use.
I also bought a lot of other items such as pork belly, beef, and various hot pot ingredients.
It's cold in the farm, so you might consider having a hot pot at night.
Qin Xiaobao's shopping is like most boys, with a clear purpose: what he wants, he goes there, buys it, and it's over.
Never be sloppy.
It only took ten minutes to walk in the vegetable market and everything was done.
When I was about to leave, I thought of chocolate, and I was too lazy to go to the supermarket. I just went to a small shop on the roadside and bought some.
As soon as I got in the car, Wang Bingbing called me.
"You didn't want to buy sauerkraut, why were you silent?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I have already bought them. Someone will tell me which one is most suitable."
"Oh, okay, look behind you!" Wang Bingbing suddenly said.
Qin Xiaobao was stunned, no, could it be...
"you..."
"Did you read it?" Wang Bingbing asked.
Qin Xiaobao turned his head, huh?
(I took cold medicine today and am in quite a bad state. I feel groggy. It’s only two chapters!)
