The official way of rebirth

Ning Xiaomei's godmother, Li Suzhen, is a kind woman. She is in her forties. She is not too old, but she has weak bones, a pale complexion, and is sickly. Only when she saw her did she become a little bit angry. Her lover

She contracted cancer and passed away a few years ago. She is now a widow. Aunt Li has had a rough life. Her son, who was born more than ten years ago, died unexpectedly. A few years later, her lover passed away. Fortunately, she met Ning Xiaomei by chance, and she is finally old.

There is someone to rely on.

Aunt Li lives in the family building of the Industry and Commerce Bureau in Nanfeng District, Chuncheng City. It is a building shared by her former lover. The community is adjacent to the Maternity and Children's Hospital. There are more than a dozen green six-story buildings. To take a taxi, just say "the small green building behind the Maternity and Children's Hospital"

, the taxi driver will know where to go.

Aunt Li heard that Tang Yi was the younger sister's fiancé. She came to the provincial capital to work, and she wanted Tang Yi to live at home. Tang Yi couldn't refuse, so she had to agree, which surprised the younger sister. After all, Aunt Li's house was not big, more than 70 years old.

If Sister Lan and Baoer move in, there will obviously be no space in the two-bedroom apartment.

Tang Yi likes the happy atmosphere of Aunt Li's house. Aunt Li doesn't know the identity of Ning Xiaomei and Tang Yi, but treats them like a loving mother. There is a kind of warmth in her nagging. This feeling, Tang Yi

I haven't experienced this in a long time.

Miss Ning returned to Beijing that day. The next days were when Sister Lan and Bao'er moved in. Aunt Li smiled so hard when she saw the cute Bao'er that her deserted home suddenly became lively.

There was a little girl who was as cute as a doll. Aunt Li was in a great mood, and even her old habit of coughing seemed to disappear in an instant.

Sister Lan and Baoer set up a bed in Aunt Li's bedroom. Fortunately, the master bedroom is big enough, and Aunt Li has a single bed, so they can fit a double bed in it. Although it is a bit crowded, in terms of spaciousness, it is suitable for ordinary people.

At home, the provincial capital is not as good as the county town, so Sister Lan has been mentally prepared for a long time. She did not complain. She received a rare compliment from Tang Yi: "Sister Lan has made progress." Sister Lan was so beautiful that she smiled all day long.

Sister Lan spent the entire afternoon tidying up Tang Yi's room. She even wanted to find workers to repaint it, but Tang Yi stopped her before she gave up.

After Tang Yi reported to the Organization Department, comrades from the Organization Department led him to the Provincial Party Committee General Office. At that time, the director of the Provincial Party Committee General Office was a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and Secretary-General Huang Wei also served as a concurrent member. Of course, Tang Yi could not see this Standing Committee member.

Even if Huang Wei knew his identity, he would not take time out of his busy schedule to get close to him. After all, in the position of deputy minister, it is enough to pay attention to the budding junior of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not necessary to get close to him.

What Tang Yi saw was the deputy secretary-general who was actually in charge of the work of the general office and the executive deputy director of the general office Gao Zhen. Director Gao was very enthusiastic and talked with Tang Yi for half an hour, and then the secretary led Tang Yi.

Go to the inspection room.

The Inspection Office is on the third floor of the General Building of the Provincial Party Committee. The sign is "Inspection Office of the Liaodong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China."

The deputy directors and inspectors who met Tang Yi were all deputy department-level cadres, and some of them were young people under the age of thirty. Therefore, they did not show much surprise at Tang Yi's age, but everyone was

I know, this new director must have some background.

Tang Yi delivered a concise and concise inauguration speech, neither high-profile sensational nor pretentious. He affirmed the work of the comrades in the early supervision office and made a few simple requirements, which also won a round of applause.

The inspection office is divided into several departments. Comprehensive department, inspection department 1, inspection department 2, etc. Tang Yi went to each department to briefly meet with the department heads and staff, and then returned to his office and began to familiarize himself with the business.

Before getting off work, Gao Xiaolan, the deputy section chief of the First Inspectorate Section, knocked on the door of the office. Gao Xiaolan is a girl in her mid-20s. She is pretty good-looking. She is wearing a red down jacket, which makes her look pretty. She also has a few light freckles on her face.

It makes her a little more delicate. She was promoted to the deputy department level just one year after graduating from college. This is also the advantage of being in Shamshui Yamen. If you were in the county, it would be difficult to be promoted to deputy bureau just after you started working.

Gao Xiaolan smiled and said: "Director Tang, let's have dinner together tonight and connect with everyone."

She is the youngest girl in the inspection room and also the star of the inspection room, so several department-level cadres recommended her to invite Tang Yi.

Before Tang Yi came, he had inquired about the situation of several deputy directors and inspectors in detail. It was Xiao Wangtuo, Hetian Chaoming's secretary. Although Xiao Wang did not know Tang Yi's identity, he had received instructions from Tian Chaoming, so he had no idea about Tang Yi's affairs.

Er was very interested. After giving Tang Yi a brief introduction to several deputy directors, he especially mentioned Gao Xiaolan because she was the only daughter of Gao Zhen, the deputy director of the general office.

Of course Tang Yi would not step into the threshold with his front foot and then offend his immediate boss with his back foot. He smiled and said: "Okay."

With Gao Xiaolan as the liaison, several deputy directors and inspectors were all present, plus several department chiefs and deputy department chiefs, as well as several deputy department-level inspectors. A total of seventeen or eight people went straight to Jinqiu Restaurant. Tang Yi

At that time, I smiled bitterly in my heart. The number of division-level, deputy-director-level, and section-level and deputy-section levels in the inspection room combined together was worth half of the county party committee.

Jinqiu Restaurant is one of the more famous mid-to-high-end hotels in Spring City. The lobby is magnificent and the private rooms are elegantly laid out. The inspectors entered the private rooms and asked for wine and food. Of course, the menu was handed to Tang Yi first, and Tang Yi ordered a "Mandarin Duck"

Lotus root slices." Just as he closed the menu and handed it to the next person, deputy director Wang Fengqi already smiled and said: "Director Tang is indeed knowledgeable, and he is also particular about ordering local dishes."

Tang Yi smiled at him. He heard from Xiao Wang that the old director retired due to illness, and Wang Fengqi was the most enthusiastic about the position of director of the inspection office. He thought he would be the most disappointed when he took this position, but there was no trace of it from his face.

Can't see it either.

Gao Xiaolan asked in surprise: "Uncle Wang, is there something special about a dish? Why haven't I heard of it?"

From this sentence about Uncle Wang, Tang Yi became acutely aware that Wang Fengqi should be involved with Director Gao of the General Office. Of course, it is not ruled out that he deliberately got closer to Gao Xiaolan after she started working.

Wang Fengqi used chopsticks dipped in water to draw the shape of lotus root slices on the table, and asked: "Look, what do lotus root slices look like?"

Everyone was talking about it, and Gao Xiaolan said in a sweet voice: "Don't show off your knowledge. Who doesn't know that you used to be the editor of a party newspaper?"

Wang Fengqi said: "Looking at your impatience, it's really hard for you to be in love for five years. Isn't Lin Lei Xiao Cai letting you do everything?"

Everyone laughed, and Gao Xiaolan blushed, but it was obvious that she was filled with happiness when she mentioned Xiao Cai.

Wang Fengqi said: "Director Tang ordered this dish, which is also called Lu Lu Chuang Chuang. It means the porous lotus root slices." Then he turned to Tang Yi: "Director Tang, am I right?"

Tang Yi smiled: "This is also the first time I have heard this statement. Director Wang is very knowledgeable, so the food I ordered is a good sign. It means that our inspection office will have smooth and smooth future work."

Everyone laughed and clapped, and the atmosphere in the banquet was harmonious. Tang Yi chatted with them in a very easy-going manner. He carefully captured the information that might be revealed in every conversation. Although the inspection room was small, there was a chief of staff at the top and everyone at the bottom had their own agenda.

The deputy director and section chief want to straighten out the relationship, but it still takes a lot of trouble to truly follow through on what they say and do.

This dinner was originally a group party, and Gao Xiaolan charged each person a hundred yuan according to the principle of returning more land and paying less for land. But Tang Yi took advantage of the break to go out for some fresh air to pay the bill, which surprised these new colleagues, and then

More or less, I have a good impression of Tang Yi. At least this new boss is very generous. Unlike the old director, he has never had the habit of paying for treats. After being familiar with the work of the inspection office, Tang Yi

The first thing on my mind is Bao'er's studies. The provincial capital is not as good as the county town. You can't go to a certain elementary school to show off your prestige, and everything will go smoothly. I just came to the provincial capital, and I don't have any connections. It's impossible to do such a small thing.

Wada Chaoming spoke.

After thinking about it, Tang Yi thought of Liu Fei, so he dialed his number. Who knew that Liu Fei said that he was doing business in Yanshan. Just a few days ago, he complained that Tang Yi was transferred to the provincial party committee without notifying him.

Of course, when I heard that Tang Yi asked him for help, I smiled so much that I gave Tang Yi the phone number of Director Wang of the Spring City Education Bureau. Tang Yi dialed the number he gave Director Wang several times, but the line was either busy or busy.

No one answered, and Tang Yi sighed inwardly. This guy was really unreliable, and he didn't bother to look for him again. After thinking about it for a while, he found an excuse on Monday morning and went directly to the Education Bureau to inquire about the enrollment of foreign children.

The old man in the Communication Office of the Education Bureau was a little hard of hearing and couldn't answer Tang Yi's questions clearly. Tang Yi was so depressed that he went directly into the office building and wandered around the corridor, but he didn't know which department he should go to to inquire.

For the first time, Tang Yi felt the helplessness of losing power. If he were in Yanshan, there would be no such thing. He could solve it with just a phone call.

"Director Tang? Why are you here?" A confused male voice came from behind. Tang Yi turned around, but it was Wang Fengqi with a briefcase in his arm. He had just come down from the second floor. When he saw Tang Yi turning around, he smiled and came over to shake hands.

Tang Yi smiled and said: Do something, how about you?"

Wang Fengqi sighed and said, "I'm just doing some work, isn't it? A candidate from Nanfeng District is one of the city's top three students, but he didn't get bonus points in the college entrance examination according to national regulations. His parents found us, why don't I come to understand the situation?

.”

With that, he introduced Tang Yi to the fat middle-aged man who had just sent him down, "Bureau Wang, this is Director Tang, the head of our inspection office. Director Tang, this is Director Wang of the Education Bureau."

Director Wang immediately shook hands with Tang Yi affectionately. Tang Yi smiled and asked Wang Fengqi: "How is everything? Is it going well?"

Director Wang didn't wait for Wang Fengqi to answer, and immediately said: "How dare our Education Bureau neglect the matters that the provincial department attaches great importance to? Don't worry, two leaders, I will start to solve it immediately."

Tang Yi smiled and nodded, knowing that ninety-nine percent of this matter was actually Wang Fengqi's private matter, but the powers of the inspection office were indeed vague, and it would not be considered ultra vires to interfere in this matter.

Wang Fengqi said a few more polite words and then left, crying in his heart that he was unlucky, why did he meet him? What he did was not worthy of publicity.

Director Wang knew that something was wrong with Tang Yi at the first glance, and hurriedly invited him to come into his office to talk. Although Director Wang was also in a good position, he was far from the best compared to the director level of the provincial party committee.

Tang Yi asked about the issue of schooling for children of migrant workers. Director Wang initially thought that Tang Yi was here to express public opinion, and he promised to study the issue seriously. When Tang Yi mentioned that the children were his relatives, Director Wang was relieved.

, and said: "Where does this relative, Director Tang, live? There is no problem in arranging to go to elementary school upon admission, but each elementary school has its own transfer fee regulations..."

"There's no problem with that. You can pay as much as you need for the transfer fee." Tang Yi stood up with a smile: "Then I'll see you again in a few days."

Director Wang smiled and said: "No problem, no problem. If Director Tang has anything to do in the future, just ask him."

When sending Tang Yi out, Bureau Wang said again: "Director Tang, there is another way. It is to move the child's household registration to a relative. This will save the transfer sponsorship fee. You know, some key primary schools charge

Land costs are still very high.”

Tang Yi nodded, but his heart moved. Yes, the provincial capital is not as good as the county town. I am afraid that the teachers of children with rural registered permanent residence will look at him differently, let alone those little emperors who are held in the palm of their parents' hands.

When I got home, I discussed it with Aunt Li. Of course, Aunt Li completely agreed. Tang Yi went to the Spring City Civil Affairs Bureau several times. This time Tang Yi learned his lesson. He went to Tian Chaoming's secretary Xiao Wang, even though Xiao Wang was not a high-level official.

, but he knew a lot of people there. With his help, Baoer moved his household registration into Aunt Li's household registration as a distant relative of Aunt Li.

Then Tang Yi quickly helped Baoer complete the admission procedures to Spring City No. 3 Primary School, which is very close to Xiaolulou. It is also a famous key primary school in Spring City. He returned home that night. Tang Yi said that Baoer's registered permanent residence had been moved there.

Spring City, tomorrow I can go to the third primary school. Sister Lan's eyes were red with gratitude. She had to pull Bao'er to kowtow to Aunt Li and Tang Yi. In her heart, the weight of the household registration in this provincial capital was too heavy. At that time,

There is a natural gap between rural household registration and commercial grain household registration. People are divided into three, six or nine grades as soon as they are born. Not to mention that Baoer's household registration is not only changed to commercial grain household registration, but also a legitimate provincial capital resident. This is tantamount to

Carp leaps over the dragon gate.

Aunt Li hugged Bao'er lovingly, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, you can't be so open-minded. Bao'er is my younger sister's goddaughter, and she is my god-granddaughter. If I don't love her, who will love her?"

Sister Lan was choked with sobs. Her eyes were red and she nodded vigorously, and then said, "I'm going to cook some dishes to celebrate."

Aunt Li is relatively simple. She also refuses to accept Tang Yi's living expenses, saying that her pension can fully support the family. She has no children, so saving money is a waste.

In front of Aunt Li, Tang Yi couldn't show off his money, but he was happy today, so he took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Sister Lan, saying, "Buy some delicious food and celebrate."

Aunt Li didn't stop her this time, but just nodded to Tang Yi: "You know how to spend money! I can see that you should be a child of a rich family, so luxury is not good, and one day your family will be ruined.

, you want my little sister to drink the northwest wind in the future!"

Tang Yi scratched his head helplessly, why did Aunt Li think that she had failed the family? It was the first time that Sister Lan saw Tang Yi being embarrassed, so she couldn't help but smile, but Tang Yi glared at her, and immediately took the money and went downstairs.

After dinner, Aunt Li went to bed early as usual. Baoer knelt down by the coffee table and read a book, and fell asleep as she watched. Sister Lan gently picked her up, kissed her on the face, and sent her to the bedroom.

It was only when Bao'er was asleep that Sister Lan would show rare affection. When Bao'er was awake, Sister Lan never said a nice word and would always yell at Bao'er.

Tang Yi turned the volume down to the lowest level, watched the news program, and corresponded with the vague impressions in his mind to capture useful information.

"Secretary Tang, do you want me to give you a massage?" Sister Lan said softly behind Tang Yi.

Tang Yi turned his head in astonishment and said with a smile: "Why, haven't you forgotten your skills?" Thinking of Sister Lan's beautiful face when she massaged him, he coughed twice and said: "No need, I'm not tired."

Sister Lan blushed a little, probably remembering the scene when she first met Tang Yi. "You must be exhausted from running around Bao'er these days. I will buy massage oil tomorrow and give you a massage every day."

Tang Yi knew that authentic massage was very strenuous work. Sister Lan wanted to express her gratitude in this way, so it was not easy to reprimand her. She just shook her head: "No need!"

Sister Lan said, "Then you watch TV and I'll help you make the bed."

Tang Yi'en sighed and continued to watch his own TV. He also thought about whether to buy an apartment in a few days and arrange for Aunt Li to move there. After all, the conditions were a bit reluctant. Even a three-bedroom apartment would be enough. At least Bao'er and Sister Lan would have to live together.

Your own room.

Tang Yi acted as soon as he thought of it, and bought a 80% new Santana during the short time. On Sunday, he bought a three-bedroom apartment in Xinjiandi Shengtai Community. No matter whether Aunt Li moves or not, she will never lose money when buying a property. At that time, there were few commercial houses sold off-plan.

, Tang Yi bought a finished house. He went through the tedious procedures in the next few days, got the key and immediately found a decoration company to decorate it.

There are not so many taboos in the provincial capital, so Tang Yi naturally takes over the task of sending Bao'er to school. However, elementary school ends earlier than Tang Yi gets off work, so Sister Lan picks her up after school.

On this Sunday, Tang Yi, who was sleeping in, was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He fumbled to pick up the phone from the pillow and asked vaguely: "Who is it?"

"I, your lover." Qi Jie's charming voice came from the receiver, and Tang Yi's sleepiness immediately disappeared. He pulled up the quilt, but heard Qi Jie say: "Why, I'm not the eldest wife, are you disappointed?"

Tang Yi couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't know how to explain. No matter how Qi Jie expressed her position, he couldn't really regard her as his lover. Regarding this emotional debt, Tang Yi chose to escape. He could delay it as long as he could, but he really couldn't think of anything else.

What solution? Thinking of the promise he made to Qi Jie, but now he has chosen such a path, Tang Yi really felt sorry for Qi Jie.

"Looking at you and not saying anything, does it mean it's in your heart?" Qi Jie said coquettishly.

Tang Yi quickly changed the topic: "No, no, have you been busy recently?"

Qi Jie smiled sweetly: "No matter how busy I am, it can't stop me from missing you, so I'm here."

Tang Yi said angrily: "Go! Don't be numb. It makes my skin crawl all over." Suddenly he realized the meaning of Qi Jie's last words, "You are here? What do you mean?"

Qi Jie said: "Of course it's in Spring City. Our mother finally agreed. She asked you to help intercede and you didn't say anything."

Tang Yiteng sat up and asked, "Are you in Spring City?" He didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Qi Jie said: "Should I come to see you or should you come out?"

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "I'm going out, tell me, where are you?"

"Where's the Spring City Hotel? I arrived at night, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I, I haven't slept all night. I can't sleep when I think of seeing you. Ah. You'd better come later. Why are the circles under my eyes like this?

?" Qi Jie finally exclaimed, making Tang Yi smile, still looking in the mirror while talking on the phone.

Tang Yidao: "Okay, then you go to sleep for a while. I tell you, if you don't look pretty, I won't want you anymore." Qi Jie hummed over there: "Then you come at noon, I'll be at 1108."

Hanging up the phone. Tang Yi immediately got up and washed up, told Sister Lan that he would not be eating at home, went downstairs, drove Santana out of the community, bought soy milk and fried dough sticks at the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community, and then drove quickly towards Chongwen Road.

go.

Ten minutes later, Tang Yi was already standing outside the door of Room 1108 of the Spring City Hotel. There were suites on the eleventh floor, which cost five to six hundred yuan a day. In terms of prices at that time, it was quite luxurious.

Tang Yi rang the doorbell for a long time before he heard footsteps in the room. He stopped by the door, probably looking out through the peephole. Then the door opened quickly, and Qi Jie stood behind the door, looking at him dreamily.

Qi Jie is still as gorgeous and radiant. Her tight-fitting white cotton sweater outlines her high breasts and slender waist. Her black leather skirt hugs her hips, black cotton socks wrap her beautiful legs, and her red high heels are even more stunning outside the black cotton socks.

Be dazzling.

Tang Yi also stood in shock for a while, then handed her the plastic bag in his hand: "I'm afraid it's cold. You must not have had breakfast. Come, let's eat together."

Qi Jie gave a grunt and stepped out of the way. Tang Yi entered the house. Qi Jie closed the door and hugged Tang Yi's waist tightly from behind.

Tang Yi could even feel the tears flowing down his back, and said softly: "Stop crying, let's eat first."

Qi Jie said nothing, but hugged her harder.

Tang Yi was also agitated in his heart. The last time they met, there was a gap in their hearts because of Chen Ke. Even if they had sex, there seemed to be no communication between spirit and body. But at this moment, being hugged hard by Qi Jie, Tang Yi felt tenderness in his chest.

It feels like going back to a long, long time ago.

Tang Yi's throat was a little bitter, and he barely controlled his emotions and said softly: "Eat first, and be obedient."

Qi Jie just shook her head, and Tang Yi stopped talking and just stood there silently.

After a long time, Tang Yi coughed: "Qi Jie, you're not wearing a bra, it's so comfortable for me."

Qi Jie snorted and quickly left Tang Yi's back, pinching Tang Yi's belly with both hands: "More and more like a gangster." Tang Yi chuckled, took the breakfast and put it on the coffee table, sitting on the sofa.

He sat down and waved to Qi Jie: "Come, sit here and I'll feed you."

Although she and Tang Yi were already "old husband and wife", Qi Jie's pretty face still turned red after hearing Tang Yi's teasing. She rolled her eyes at Tang Yi, went to take out the dishes from the cupboard next to the refrigerator, tore off the sterile plastic bag, and came to the coffee table.

Next, he put the soy milk and fried dough sticks in a bowl. Then he sat across from the coffee table and smiled sweetly at Tang Yi. He picked up the fried dough sticks and stuffed them into his mouth. Watching Qi Jie's red lips move lightly, it was really a pleasure to chew the food. Tang Yi is so good

After a while, he came back to his senses, picked up the bowl and took a sip of soy milk, and immediately frowned: "It's cold." He touched the fried dough sticks, but they were no longer warm. Tang Yi saw that Qi Jie was eating with gusto, and said softly: "Call on the phone.

Be early."

Qi Jie shook her head: "You can eat it if you want. I like to eat this."

Tang Yien groaned, picked up the cold fried dough sticks, and stuffed it into his mouth...

Having crazy sex with Qi Jie in the bedroom, Qi Jie was tortured to death, her soft body was hugged tightly by Tang Yi, her hands were placed on her chest, and her two slender white legs were also curled up on her chest, pressing against Tang Yi's

Her chest was screaming with a crying sound, enduring Tang Yi's violent impact again and again. Tang Yi hugged Qi Jie, who was curled up into a ball, and conquered with all his strength. His heart was filled with a sense of conquest. The slender beauty was violated by this posture.

It is the most satisfying thing for men.

After several moments of passion, Qi Jie was panting in Tang Yi's arms, as if she were a puddle of mud, and her fingers were too lazy to move. Tang Yi gently stroked her curly long hair and asked, "When did you perm your hair?"

Qi Jie's hair was so permed that she had small curls hanging down the back of her head, adding a bit of sex appeal to a mature woman.

Qi Jie seemed to have no strength to speak, and could only mumble a few words. Tang Yi hugged her tightly helplessly.

The two of them slept all afternoon and took a shower and changed clothes in the evening. Of course, Qi Jie said nothing and refused to take a shower with Tang Yi, fearing that Tang Yi would get angry and torment her again.

Qi Jie took her clothes with her when she entered the bathroom. When she came out, she had finished dressing up. She turned around in front of Tang Yi and asked, "Am I beautiful?"

Tang Yi smiled and said "Mei" twisted her leg, which made Qi Jie squirm.

Tang Yi asked: "Going shopping?"

Qi Jie nodded vigorously, took Tang Yi's hand and said, "I want to go shopping with you hand in hand."

Tang Yi nodded slightly, and Qi Jie happily came to Tang Yi's side and took Tang Yi's arm, looking intoxicated.

Tang Yi gently held her waist, smelled the fragrance on the tip of his nose, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go?"

Qi Jie shook her head: "Wait a little longer." She leaned in Tang Yi's arms, but was unwilling to move.

After a while, Qi Jie whispered: "I can feel it, you are still mine, right?"

Tang Yi was slightly startled, and finally nodded slightly.

Qi Jie was silent for a while and said softly: "I know you are still a little hesitant and wondering whether you should leave everything behind and just marry me. In fact, I am very satisfied. Maybe I will continue to be jealous in the future.

It might still be nerve-wracking for you, but I’m really, really satisfied.”

"Jealousy is the nature of us women. You, you can't hate me because of this." Qi Jie buried her head in Tang Yi's arms. Tang Yi was speechless and could only hug her tightly.

"Anyway, no matter how much I make a fuss, I can't get out of your palm." Qi Jie's red lips came close to Tang Yi's ear, and the hot flash of fragrance made Tang Yi's heart heat up, and then he became alert and pinched Qi Jie's nose.

: "Don't come here, I tell you not to mess around. I'm really afraid of you now."

Qi Jie smiled brightly and took Tang Yi's arm: "Let's go shopping!"
