The sun was shining brightly at noon in June. Even in the northern capital, the weather was still relatively hot. There were very few pedestrians on the road, but there were quite a few vehicles.
Even though it is only 2002, in the capital, vehicles are no longer considered a luxury for many people. The average well-off family can afford a car, but there are still only a few people who actually buy a car.
However, the capital is the capital after all. Even though there are only a few people with cars, the population base is here, so there is an endless stream of vehicles driving on the roads.
When Zhou Chen drove Wang Ying to school, he suddenly slowed down and braked at an intersection.
"Why did it slow down?" Wang Ying asked puzzledly.
Zhou Chen quickly parked the car on the side of the road and told Wang Ying: "Don't get out of the car. Wait for me in the car. I'll be here soon."
After saying that, he quickly got out of the car and ran back, leaving Wang Ying confused. She also opened the door and got out of the car, looking towards Zhou Chen.
"Hey, no, where are you going?"
Zhou Chen ran back almost a hundred meters and came to the bicycle lane next to him. There was a tricycle on the road, which was Zhou Chen's target.
When I came to the tricycle, I saw that the wheel of the tricycle was stuck in the broken manhole cover. An elderly man was trying hard to push the tricycle out, but the wheel was stuck nearly half way. Her strength was limited.
I really can't push it through.
"Old lady, let me help you. You step in front and I push you in the back."
The old lady was almost seventy years old, and most of her hair, starting from the top of her head, was white. When she heard Zhou Chen's words, she immediately said gratefully: "Young man, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, it's just a matter of convenience. Anyone who sees it will help. You go to the front first and I will help you push it."
"I'll push it with you."
"No need, I'm young and strong, just step on the pedals in front of me."
"Okay, okay, thank you, young man."
After the old lady got on the car, she stepped on it hard. As soon as Zhou Chen exerted his strength, the tricycle came up. It was really easy for him, but for an old man in his seventies, it was not that easy.
, not to mention that this is a tricycle that contains a lot of stuff and sells braised food.
After the old lady got out of the car, she was extremely grateful: "Young man, thank you so much. I'll give you some braised food. It's all made at home. It's very fresh and delicious."
As she said this, she was about to serve Zhou Chen some braised food such as chicken feet and wings.
Zhou Chen hurriedly refused: "No, old lady, I see you are quite old. Why are you riding out alone to sell braised meat at noon? Even if you want to sell, you should wait until the evening."
The old lady sighed: "This is actually my daughter-in-law's stall. It's not uncomfortable for her. My son took her to the hospital for medical treatment. This braised food is freshly made. It won't be fresh if it's not taken out and sold.
That’s why I hid it from them and sold it alone.”
"It's just that my old lady won't say that the sales were low and I almost fell down when I went back. Alas, I am old and can't do anything I want to do. If it weren't for you, young man, I don't know what I would have done today."
"Old lady, you are serious. I just helped you with a small favor. Even if I didn't come, someone would pass by and help. You don't have to be too polite, old lady."
The old lady insisted on bringing braised meat to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, the old lady brought him a lot at once.
"Young man, these are all fresh. You can take them home and eat them. They are delicious. My daughter-in-law makes this braised food very delicious."
"Then thank you."
Zhou Chen took it, pushed her away, and then stuffed two bills into the braised food box when the old lady wasn't paying attention.
After watching the old lady leave on a braised tricycle, Zhou Chen went back carrying the plastic bag containing braised food.
From a distance, he saw Wang Ying standing next to the car. He walked over and said, "Didn't I ask you to wait in the car? It's quite sunny outside."
Wang Ying didn't say anything, she just looked straight at Zhou Chen, then suddenly rushed over, hugged Zhou Chen tightly, and gave him a sweet kiss.
Zhou Chen was a little dazed, but he hugged Wang Ying. After a few seconds, Wang Ying left Zhou Chen's arms.
"What's wrong? You come here all of a sudden and you're still on the road. This is not like your character."
Although Wang Ying is jokingly called the eldest lady, she is actually somewhat reserved like a eldest lady. She rarely takes the initiative to get close to Zhou Chen in public, let alone such a passionate kiss on the roadside.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that you are so kind."
Wang Ying's eyes were filled with smiles, and her smile was like a beautiful scenery, making people want to record this beautiful moment involuntarily.
Although Zhou Chen helped the old man push the tricycle just now, it was just a small thing, but not everyone would do it, especially Zhou Chen who drove by and stopped to help.
Such a small act of kindness made her feel very dazzling and a shining point.
Zhou Chen's ability to treat strangers like this shows that he must be kind in his heart, and he is very proud of having such a kind boyfriend.
"I've always been fine. Well, I suddenly discovered it."
Zhou Chen lightly flicked her forehead and raised the plastic bag in his hand.
"The grandma just gave me braised food. You can share it with the dormitory later."
"Ah? You took other people's things?"
"What are you thinking? I gave you the money. Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others?"
"no."
Wang Ying would not feel unhygienic when something was handed over from Zhou Chen, and took it easily.
After sending Wang Ying downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Zhou Chen took out a key from the car.
"This is the key to my school dormitory. I'll give you one. If you feel that you can't study safely elsewhere, come to my place and be quiet."
Wang Ying took the key without hesitation: "Okay, I understand. Let's go upstairs first. You can go and do your work."
"Bye-Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Wang Ying returned to the dormitory with light steps. Xu Lin, who was reading a comic book, saw her.
"Hey, Wang Ying, I'm so happy today. Did Zhou Chen take you to something delicious again?"
"I was unhappy one day. There is not much delicious food, but there is a lot of braised food. No, I brought it here specially for you."
Wang Ying handed the braised food in her hand to Xu Lin. When Xu Lin saw it, he shouted happily: "Wang Ying, you are so kind to me. You don't forget me even when you have food. I love you to death."
"
As she said that, she was about to rush over to hug Wang Ying, but Wang Ying stopped her urgently: "Don't come over, don't come over, just eat your food quickly."
Xu Lin didn't mind either. He happily opened the plastic bag without washing his hands. He picked up a chicken foot and gnawed it. Wang Ying shook her head.
"Where are Qiaoqiao and Qianxi?"
Xu Lin gnawed on the chicken feet and answered vaguely: "Qiao Qiao hasn't been back since yesterday. Qian Xi is naturally studying in the library with He Xiaozhou."
Wang Ying nodded, and then she took the book and read it carefully.
Zhou Chen went to participate in the auction of Jade Ranking Company. There were many works of art in this auction, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but there were not many that could make Zhou Chen's heart beat. He did bid a few times, but none of them
Didn't follow to the end.
In the past few years, he had bought a lot of antiques abroad, but he had not brought them back home. After all, he had no foundation in China at that time.
He just bought one. After the auction ended, he looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he walked around and had a bite.
By the time he drove back to Beiqing University, it was already past eight o'clock. When he arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, he called Wang Ying.
But the person who answered the phone was not Wang Ying, but Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao said that Wang Ying had fallen asleep, so Zhou Chen asked Xie Qiao not to disturb Wang Ying and asked her to come down.
Xie Qiao quickly ran down in slippers. When she saw Zhou Chen, she asked, "What did you ask me to come down to get?"
Zhou Chen handed her a handbag in his hand and said, "This is a small gift I bought for Wang Ying. You can take it and give it to her."
Xie Qiao took it and said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, you are too arrogant. You send things to Wang Ying every three days, and the things you send are very expensive every time. You make us feel uncomfortable like this. Anyway,
Also consider the feelings of ordinary people like us, okay."
"Okay, then next time I go shopping, I'll bring one for the three of you."
"No, please don't. We don't dare to ask for the things you gave us. It's scary."
Xie Qiao just complained casually, how could she really dare to accept Zhou Chen's gift? Even if she was young, she would not dare to accept it, let alone Xiao Qianxi and Xu Lin.
"I've got the stuff, so I'll go up first."
"Well, thank you."
"You're still polite to me."
