Chapter 101 Shopping
After leaving the room, Chen Ping and Le Qingyun went to the hotel's underground garage together. Of course, Chen Ping himself had no car, and Le Qingyun drove from Shanghai. Although it was just a JAC Tongyue that cost less than 50,000 yuan, the gimmick of driving to school was enough to make ordinary students afraid.
Since Le Qingyun had already found out the fact that Chen Ping could drive when he was going downstairs, the young lady sat in the co-pilot unswervingly when she got on the bus. Chen Ping, who had never touched the car since the driver's license exam, had to sit in the driver's seat with a stingy bullet.
Insert the car keys, then press the clutch to light up, and then hang the gears.
When Chen Ping made all the preparations based on the driving steps he remembered, he turned to Le Qingyun and asked, "You really want me to drive? I'm afraid I won't have a complete body!"
"Bao, bah, bah, bah! Say all unlucky words!" Le Qingyun frowned and said to Chen Ping, "I said to Section Chief Chen, I am not afraid of a little woman, what are you, a man, afraid of?"
"You can't say that," said Chen Ping, "If something happens, you say that I am an upright leading cadre, if it is said that we are a miserable couple or a love-loving couple, then the reputation of our great young man will be ruined like this?"
Le Qingyun knew that she was not Chen Ping's opponent in speaking, so in the face of Chen Ping's one set of principles, Le Qingyun decided to adopt a sit-in protest mode. She didn't say anything, just slanted her eyes, looked at Chen Ping with grievance and pitifulness, and looked at Chen Ping with a burst of pain, so she had to raise her hand and surrender, "Okay, okay, I'll just click it."
Hearing Chen Ping's promise, Le Qingyun immediately cheered, while Chen Ping drove the duck to release the handbrake, then stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove the car out of the parking space.
"Oh! You'll drive out for a ride with the man!"
Le Qingyun saw that Chen Ping finally started to move the car, and couldn't help but cheer again, but the young lady's cheer seemed to have forgotten that the car carrying her was her own. For Chen Ping, who was driving, he had seen Le Qingyun's weirdness many times today, so he was used to it. He just asked her lightly: "Where do you want to go?"
Le Qingyun shrugged and said, "This is up to you, after all, you are the landlord of Zhangjiagang!"
"Okay, I didn't ask." Chen Ping said helplessly.
Seeing Chen Ping being defeated, Le Qingyun couldn't help but smiled excitedly. In her opinion, Chen Ping had just taught herself a lesson in the hotel room, and now he suffered a loss in his hands. That's natural! However, teaching herself a lesson in the hotel room... It seems a bit inappropriate to say this!
Chen Ping, who was driving, didn't know the contradictory thoughts in Le Qingyun's mind at this moment, he was just driving attentively.
However, although Chen Ping hadn't touched the car for a long time, because he had been practicing hard every day in the driving school, he still had some of the driving feelings that the coach taught him at that time. At least when he drove the car out of the garage, there was no mistake. The car was driving very slowly and often braked. As for Chen Ping, he gradually found the driving feeling he had before, so the car drove faster and faster and more and more steadily. Without frequent brakes in the garage, everything was not as good as a veteran, but it was absolutely impossible to see that he was a novice rookie who was on the road for the first time without anyone taking care of him.
Chen Ping drove along Hexi Road all the way south, crossed the bridge, and finally came to the vicinity of Yangshe Old Street, the oldest historical street in Zhangjiagang. Chen Ping first found a parking lot nearby to park his car, and then took Le Qingyun through an alley with him.
"This is Yangshe Old Street, the place where Lao Zhangjiagang people remember the most. Of course, perhaps the times have changed and Zhangjiagang's development is getting better and better, and many people will gradually forget this place, but for me, this place is always the place I yearn for the most."
While walking, Chen Ping said to Le Qingyun: "There are barbecue here, Shaoxing stinky tofu, duck blood powder and marshmallows. However, my family was poor at that time and I didn't have much pocket money, so although I had to pass by here after school, I almost never walked here. I took a detour."
Le Qingyunan looked at Chen Ping quietly with her big eyes, as if he could imagine that ten years ago, Chen Ping, in his youth, was a stubborn boy, who had no money in his pocket, did not dare to take this shortcut to go home because he was afraid of smelling the fragrance of those snacks and was afraid that he could not help but go back and beg his parents to buy food for him. Of course, he did not want to make his parents embarrassed, so he would rather walk more roads than smell or think about the delicious food on Yangshe Old Street.
Chen Ping came back from the ocean of memories, then smiled at Le Qingyun beside him and said, "How is it? Do you think I was very stupid and naive at that time? Actually, when I think back now, what I did at that time is really called self-deception! I guess if I didn't go that path, would I really not think about those snacks?"
Le Qingyun was not as crazy as usual, but shook her head seriously and said solemnly: "Chen Ping, I didn't expect you to have such a childhood, but you did a good job, really good."
Chen Ping gently stroked Le Qingyun's soft hair and said, "You are a good actor, but don't put yourself in the role situation so easily. In fact, there are many men like me who want to use such means to deceive you from sympathy, and then wait until you release your woman's nature, and you can take the initiative to throw yourself into my arms."
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Le Qingyun smiled very ladylikely, then took the initiative to hold Chen Ping's arm and said to Chen Ping: "Then I will help you fulfill your dream that you never had the chance to fulfill when you were a child."
Chen Ping said: "Okay, but if I had a beautiful girl like you at that time and invited me to the old street for snacks, I would have probably become the public enemy of the entire school. I was very brave at that time. If you really posted it like this, I would have escaped."
"What about now?" Le Qingyun asked.
"Now?"
Chen Ping was chewing this sentence on his mouth, his eyes darkened at first. At this time, Chen Ping could feel Le Qingyun's delicate body trembling with his eyes, and his innocent pretty face was filled with disappointment. But then, Chen Ping suddenly smiled sly and turned a corner of 180 degrees: "Of course I am very confident now! Only a girl as beautiful as Qingyun is worthy of treating me to the old street to eat. If it were someone else, even if she was Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing, I wouldn't have that interest!"
Le Qingyun then realized that Chen Ping was teasing herself, so she waved her pink fist and greeted Chen Ping's chest a few times, and said coquettishly: "You guy, you are so bad!"
Chen Ping led Le Qingyun to continue walking forward.
Due to the modern development of the city, many old streets in cities are being demolished and renovated, just like the former residence of Tang Bohu in Pingjiang District, Suzhou City, and the old Yangshe Street in Zhangjiagang is naturally no exception. In order to adapt to the development of the city, the Zhangjiagang Municipal Government has carried out large-scale renovations on this place several times, but except for cleaning up some street snacks with strong nostalgia, the other effects are actually not obvious.
As a native of Zhangjiagang, Chen Ping had never been to the old street, but he knew where the snack stalls on the old street had moved. So Chen Ping did not go to the more prosperous streets, but instead took Le Qingyun into the alley next to the old street.
Since these alleys follow the requirements of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to retain their original appearance, they still have black bricks and blue tiles and stone slabs to pave the road. Perhaps the road surface is a little narrower, but there is still no problem with putting a long snack.
In the alley, Chen Ping smelled the smell of various snacks floating in the air, as well as the smell of charcoal smoke and cumin from the barbecue, and said to Le Qingyun apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't expect the air to be so bad."
Le Qingyun smiled meaninglessly and said, "It doesn't matter, let's go in and eat."
Since Le Qingyun had no objection, Chen Ping had no problem, so he nodded and took Le Qingyun into the alley. As Le Qingyun arrived, there was a small sensation in the alley. You know, most girls are very delicate now, especially the more beautiful the girls are, the more picky the ones are. So to this day, few beautiful girls are willing to go to such alleys to eat snacks. As for Le Qingyun, who has the temperament of the girl next door, there are even fewer girls who are very likable, no matter young or old, they are very likable.
Therefore, whenever Le Qingyun sits at which stall, which stall and nearby stalls will be full. Therefore, in order to attract more business, many bosses will even give Le Qingyun and Chen Ping some snacks to ensure that they can stay in their stalls for more time.
However, neither Chen Ping nor Le Qingyun obviously cared about this. They just ate one by one, until they filled their stomachs and left. Only the unlucky children in the alley who looked at Le Qingyun and sighed and envied, jealous and hated Chen Ping's back.
"That girl is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the TV stars I've ever seen! Is she still a student? Why have I never seen her before?"
"It seems like you have seen many celebrities, but I think she must be a beauty from Shazhou College or the Zhangjiagang campus of the University of Science and Technology? But how could she come here to eat snacks? Is the man next to her her boyfriend? She is too stingy."
"I don't think so. Look at the man dressed so formally, maybe he is a rich second generation! I think the woman is just selling herself to money, and women are just as cheap as they are!"
"I think it's very likely."
...
Listening to the intermittent talk behind him, Chen Ping felt helpless, but sometimes people are like this. They like to belittle him maliciously if they can't get anything. Now the same is true. These people look at Le Qingyun beautiful, and Le Qingyun doesn't care about anyone except Chen Ping. It is obvious that some people can't bear to worry about face and think about slandering her. However, as the protagonist, Le Qingyun is quite open about this, and probably has experienced it a lot.
Chen Ping thought so, looking at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. No matter what, today's shopping is over here.
