Bai Zhizhi and Lu's mother continued shopping. Lu's mother showed Bai Zhizhi a few skirts and originally planned to buy them, but Bai Zhizhi refused and whispered to Lu's mother, "Mom, the clothes here are not as beautiful as the ones I make. Let's go to the fabric area to see if there are any nice fabrics. When we go back this afternoon, I will design one first. What do you think? When you go back to work and wear it, many people will say it looks great. Maybe Dad will let you wear it secretly to show him."

After Bai Zhizhi finished speaking, she laughed at Lu's mother. Lu's mother blushed all of a sudden. It was the first time in so many years that she blushed because of what her daughter-in-law said. If she wasn't pregnant, she really wanted to pinch her arm to see if she dared to laugh at her again.

Mother Lu coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment and said, "Okay, let's do as you say, but we still have to buy some other things."

The two came to the food area and bought some fruits and snacks. Bai Zhizhi saw a new kind of drink and picked it up to look at it curiously.

Seeing this, Mother Lu smiled and said, "This is soda, it's very popular nowadays, do you want to try it?"

Bai Zhizhi nodded, so Mother Lu bought two bottles and handed one to her. Bai Zhizhi took a sip and found it sweet, with bubbles dancing in her throat. It was delicious.

Then they shopped for a while, bought some daily necessities and a lunch box, and finally, they came to the fabric area and picked out some beautiful fabrics.

Bai Zhizhi was filled with joy thinking that she could show off her skills when she got home and make a beautiful dress for Lu's mother, while Lu's mother was looking forward to wearing the dress made by her daughter-in-law and giving her husband a surprise.

After shopping, Bai Zhizhi and Lu's mother dragged their tired bodies to the only state-owned restaurant in the city. The restaurant was crowded and bustling, but this did not affect my interest in tasting the food.

Bai Zhizhi and Lu's mother found an empty seat and sat down. They ordered a plate of fragrant braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs, and asked for 28 steaming buns in addition. After a while, the waiter brought the food to me.

These dishes looked delicious and mouth-watering. Bai Zhizhi couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and devour them. The braised pork melted in her mouth, fatty but not greasy; the sweet and sour spare ribs were just the right amount of sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; the buns were juicy and delicious, with a very delicate taste. While eating, she did not forget to ask Lu's mother to eat quickly and order more if it was not enough. Last night Lu's mother gave her several red envelopes, which contained a total of yuan, enough for Bai Zhizhi to eat braised pork for several years.

Mother Lu was not polite either. She lost her ladylike image and ate the meat in big mouthfuls. After the two of them finished their meal, they found that the braised pork was gone and only a few pieces of sweet and sour spareribs were left. Mother Lu was full and asked the waiter to pack another portion to take away. The total cost of the meal was about 12 yuan. Mother Lu and Bai Zhizhi waited in the restaurant for the waiter to pack the food. Take-away boxes were not provided at this time, so Bai Zhizhi and the others had already bought lunch boxes, and the buns were packed in the cloth bags of the state-owned restaurant. After packing, the two of them took a short rest and then got up to go to where the tractor was parked. Along the way, they savored the delicious food just now and felt full of satisfaction.

Finally, Bai Zhizhi and Lu's mother came to the tractor, got on the car and prepared to go home. Because it was still early, only 13:50 pm, the uncle from the village had to wait until the time was up, and if no one came yet, they could leave. Bai Zhizhi leaned on Lu's mother's shoulder and fell asleep, while Lu's mother didn't dare to move for fear of waking her up.

The tractor driver didn't wait any longer and asked the passengers to hold on and get ready to go. With the roar of the engine, the tractor started slowly and took Bai Zhizhi on the way home. The scenery outside the car window kept changing, but my thoughts were still on the delicious meal...

When he got home, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Chuan came home from get off work and didn't see anyone. He guessed that he had gone out and heard the door opening. It was his mother and daughter-in-law. He went forward to take the things and poured a glass of water for the two beauties.
