Siheyuan: starting from security

"Brother Chen, is it too expensive? The two of us can just eat whatever we want. There is no need to spend so much money."

Qin Jingru suddenly said in a low voice, for fear that the waiter on the side would hear what she said.

"I'm now the chief of the security department, and I get one hundred yuan a month. Don't worry, I won't be able to afford it."

Yang Chen didn't care about the waiter standing beside him and spoke directly.

So what if she hears that, can she still look down on herself? She may not have a salary of twenty yuan a month, but she has the vision to look down on someone with a hundred yuan. That is too arrogant.

"But it's too expensive. I might as well buy some to eat at home."

Qin Jingru was a little reluctant. In her opinion, the money was not worth it. Eating it at home at half the price would be better than this.

"Okay, let me have some."

Yang Chen took the menu, ordered spicy hot pot, and ordered all the meat on the menu before handing the menu to the waiter.

After waiting for a while, the hot pot arrived. Qin Jingru looked at the hot pot in front of her and fell in love.

But she still didn't move her chopsticks. It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but it was the rule.

In this era, it is popular for men to use chopsticks first, and women to use chopsticks later.

Even except for relatively open big cities like Tianjing, it is popular in other places that women do not attend the table. This means that when guests come, women cannot come to the table to eat. They can only take the rice and carry it to the kitchen to eat.

Yang Chen couldn't persuade him, so he had to eat a small piece of meat first, and then Qin Jingru moved his chopsticks.

After eating for a while, Yang Chen always felt that something was missing, so he went to ask for four bottles of beer, and then he felt that he was in the right place. Eating hot pot and drinking beer were the perfect combination.

"What is this? Is it water? I've never seen it before."

Qin Jingru looked at Yang Chen who was drinking beer and asked curiously.

She had drunk liquor before, but she had never seen beer before. She mistakenly thought it was water, but why was the water yellow?

"This is beer. It's very delicious. It costs 50 cents a bottle. Do you want a can?"

Yang Chen said with a bad smile, beer is something that you will never think tastes good if you drink it for the first time.

"Which one has higher alcohol content than liquor?" Qin Jingru did not agree immediately. She had also drank liquor at home, but she could only drink one glass, not one bottle.

“A bottle of beer is equivalent to half a glass of white wine.”

"That's okay, I'll have a bottle." After hearing this, Qin Jingru directly took a bottle, opened it and took a sip.

The next second, she frowned and said:

"It tastes really bad. It tastes weird."

"If it doesn't taste good, stop drinking it and eat more meat."

Yang Chen said with a smile, people who drink beer for the first time will indeed feel uncomfortable.

"Forget it, a bottle of 50 cents, it's a waste if you don't drink it, it's all money."

Qin Jingru shook her head and continued to drink.

Yang Chen didn't try to dissuade her when he saw this. The beer tasted so good. As you drank it, you could appreciate its delicious taste.

The two of them chatted and ate hot pot, and soon they were full.

Yang Chen stood up and finished paying the bill, took Qin Jingru's little hand and walked out.

"Brother Chen, shall we go back now?"

After coming out, Qin Jingru looked at Yang Chen and said a little reluctantly.

She finally saw Yang Chen and didn't want to be separated for a moment.

But after returning to Qin Huairu's house, it was not convenient to go to Yang Chen's house. After all, he was alone and had an uncertain relationship, so he was easily scolded by others behind his back.

"Of course I won't go back. It's still early. I'll take you to the mall."

Yang Chen pointed to the shopping mall not far from the hot pot restaurant and said with a smile.

"How about we go somewhere else."

Qin Jingru looked at the shopping mall in front of her and shook her head. She had no money in such a big shopping mall, so why go in there?

"Let's go in and take a stroll." Yang Chen smiled, took her hand, and walked towards the mall.

He understood Qin Jingru's thoughts. In this era, many people were like this, and even in later generations, many people were like this.

That is, when you go to a shopping mall or any shopping place, you must buy something. If you don't have money in your pocket, you won't dare to go in.

"I won't buy anything when I go in, so I might as well leave it alone."

Qin Jingru hugged Yang Chen's hand anxiously and said coquettishly.

"We've known each other for so long, and I haven't given you anything as a gift. I'm going to buy you a cotton-padded jacket today. Let's go."

Yang Chen smiled, feeling that Qin Jingru was instantly cute to her, and couldn't help but gently pinched Qin Jingru's face with his hand.

"They didn't buy you a gift, so you gave it to me, and I was embarrassed to ask for it."

Although Qin Jingru wanted it in her heart, she was afraid that Yang Chen would look down on her, so she was very confused for a while.

Yang Chen touched Qin Jingru's head again, and said with a smile: "Well, if you go back and help me clean the house, it will be considered a gift."

"Brother Chen, you are so good to me." Qin Jingru looked at Yang Chen with bright eyes, which contained emotion and friendship.

"Don't worry, I'll keep your house clean as long as I'm here. Whenever I come to town, I'll clean it for you."

"Well, then I'll leave the hygiene of my house to you."

Yang Chen said with a smile, then took Qin Jingru's little hand and walked towards the department store.

He really likes Qin Jingru now. Although many people say that she worships money, her wish is just to marry in the city and become a good wife and mother after getting married.

If he really worshiped money, then Xu Damao would pick up bottles and become a beggar. Why didn't Qin Jingru abandon him?

But Teacher Ran is also very good, and Qin Jingru is also very good. Hey, I am so embarrassed about who should I choose as my wife.

"There are so many beautiful clothes, Brother Chen."

After entering the department store, Qin Jingru said in surprise, interrupting Yang Chen's thoughts.

Yang Chen looked in the direction she pointed. In his eyes, these clothes were very vulgar, but in the eyes of people of this era, they were indeed at the forefront of trends.

Compared with the clothes Qin Jingru was wearing, she looked even more beautiful.

Her cotton-padded clothes have traces of mending everywhere from beginning to end, which can be considered as the saying goes, three years in the past are three years in the future, and three years in the seams and mendings.

Yang Chen pulled her in and no one greeted her along the way.

The salespeople were chatting in groups of three or five without even looking at the two of them.

But this is normal. In this era, whether it is a shopping mall or a restaurant, everyone behaves like this.

These people all regard themselves as workers and are so proud that they look down upon factory workers, let alone ordinary people.

Yang Chen didn't care, after all, let alone himself, even if a big leader came, as long as they were not in charge of them, they would still have the same attitude.

Because she was buying cotton-padded clothes, Qin Jingru could only reluctantly let go of the beautiful clothes she saw just now.

The two of them walked to the place where cotton-padded clothes were sold and took a look.

"Brother Chen, this is so beautiful."

Qin Jingru had an admiring tone on her face, and Yang Chen turned his head and looked.

The clothes she was interested in were strictly speaking military coats. They were meant to keep warm. If they looked good, then forget about it.

But in this era, as long as clothes can be found in department stores, they are the best and most fashionable ones in this era.

Moreover, this military coat will be worn by many people in later generations, and it will look fine. In this case, then buy this.

Anyway, if you are good-looking, you will look good in anything you wear.

The main reason is that there is no choice. Yang Chen has just looked at all the cotton-padded clothes and only has a few choices.

Military green coats are obviously the most popular and are placed in the most conspicuous places. The remaining different types are just different colors.

I originally thought that department stores had different options.
