Before the meeting, the two arrived at the explanation meeting of Jiajia Convenience Store. They said it was an explanation meeting, but it was actually more like an interview scene. A bunch of staff called their names one by one, and there were a couple of people walking over there— —The people who come here are either a young couple or a large family, and no one comes alone at all.

Seeing the crowd, Ou Jingnian took Dugu Jieao's hand and got closer to her. Just then someone called Dugu Jieao's name, and Ou Jingnian pulled Dugu Jieao through the crowd and walked to the staff over there.The seemingly very family-like staff looked at Dugu Jieao, then looked down at his resume, and said hesitantly, "Are you planning to get married?"

Dugu Jieao nodded in a serious manner, and the staff laughed: "I'm sorry, I said in the briefing that it's best for a husband and wife to run the business together..."

Dugu Jieao took Ou Jingnian's hand and shook it in front of her: "It's the two of us."

Even though the staff members were born in big cities and claimed to have seen the world, they were startled and showed an embarrassed smile: "You mean, you and this lady..."

Dugu Jieao answered without hesitation: "It's a lover."

"Understood." The staff's smile remained unchanged, they just lowered their heads and wrote something on the paper, and then smiled apologetically at Dugu Jieao: "I'm sorry, your situation is quite special, I may need to report to the higher authorities. Hold on."

Just as Dugu Jieao was about to speak, Ou Jingnian pinched her. She shut her mouth, waved her hand impatiently, and waited for the person to leave before squinting at Ou Jingnian: "She discriminates against us!"

Ou Jingnian ignored her accusation, and asked directly: "Baby, what kind of cooperation did you apply for at that time?" There are two ways for Jiajia's cooperation, one is investment, which requires a relatively large capital, and the other is a husband-and-wife business That way, the investment is small, flexible and convenient, but the requirements are very strict.

Dugu Jieao blinked: "The investment is small."

Ou Jingnian sighed: "I guess it's a dead end this time, let's go."

Dugu Jieao shook off her hand unhappily: "Why is there no play?"

Ou Jingnian explained: "I have also inquired about Jiajia before. Jiajia's business is good, and the investment is almost stable. It is also very strict. Although there are no special requirements in the name of this kind of family workshop type of cooperation, in fact they are generally only for couples or couples, because it is more stable, and both people’s livelihoods are in it, and they can take turns I'm in charge, so I'll be more careful."

Dugu Jieao pursed his lips: "But we are also lovers."

Ou Jingnian didn't speak, just sighed.Dugu Jieao was in a daze for a while, seeing the staff coming with a man who looked like a manager, the manager explained with a smile on his face that because Dugu Jieao was not officially married, so Jiajia could not cooperate with her , I hope that in the future, Dugu Jieao can come over with a formal marriage certificate to negotiate again - his language is very friendly, there is no discriminatory element at all, and his smile is very sincere, which fully reflects the mid-to-high-end convenience of Jiajia The service level of the store, but what he said was like a thorn, which made Dugu Jieao angry. He just made a fist, saw Ou Jingnian, and loosened his fist again. Ou Jingnian touched the top of her head and said to the two staff members. Thank you, and lead Dugu Jieao to walk out slowly.

The New Year is coming soon, the weather is colder than before, and the wind blows in bursts, making people feel chilly.Ou Jingnian and Dugu Jieao stood on the side of the street, Dugu Jieao stared blankly at the people coming and going, there were many women who were leading, holding hands, and hugging each other. Quite a few, on the surface, the world is very tolerant of people like them. Passers-by are calm and accustomed to all outrageous behaviors, as if they are no different from ordinary couples.But at this moment, if someone really shouted "I am gay, I want to marry xxx" in public, I don't know what will happen to these seemingly calm passers-by.Ubiquitous discrimination is hidden under the surface of tenderness, but it hurts more than straightforward contempt.

Ou Jingnian accompanied Dugu Jieao without saying a word, holding her with one arm and gently stroking her back with the other. After a long time, Dugu Jieao raised his head and asked softly, "Where is the Wenwan market in Shencheng?"

Ou Jingnian didn't say anything, he just set up the map on his phone and showed the location to Dugu Jieao.

Dugu Jieao didn't say a word, just walked to the car with Ou Jingnian on his arm.

They walked around for a while before arriving at another place. Unlike the CBD area of ​​the new business district full of high-rise buildings just now, this area is full of typical Wenwan old streets-the streets are full of extremely irregular shapes and various decorations. It's a weird little shop, and there are many large and small street stalls in front of the small shop or between the shops.Most of the stall owners wear nondescript ancient costumes, and many shoppers also wear strange clothes.

In addition to shops and street stalls, the streets are also full of peddlers walking around with pockets on their backs. Most of these peddlers look honest and honest, and the things they sell are very cheap, but once you talk to them, they I will definitely try to get you to go to a small shop in a nearby alley or a mysterious "treasurer" to have a look at their out-of-print treasures. Most of these treasures are underestimated for one reason or another, so you'd better Don't make a fuss, lest you be shouted out, everyone will come to bid, and you won't be able to buy a bargain.As for why they are willing to sell it to you alone, even if they sacrifice the chance of raising the price in a public auction, only they know.

Ou Jingnian and Dugu Jieao, two young women who obviously don't look like locals, are wearing big-name trench coats, carrying big-name bags (Ou Jingnian), and imported snacks (Dugu Jieao). A peddler is watching.After a brief eye contact, a young man who looked a bit sloppy got the first qualification to strike up a conversation, and triumphantly approached him and asked, "Beauty, are you here to see something?"

Dugu Jieao, who was in a bad mood, gave him a cold look: "Don't you look at you?"

Young man: "Hey, the little beauty is so beautiful, why does she speak in such a tone? Come here for the first time, let me tell you..."

Dugu Jieao interrupted him: "I was wrong."

Young Hawker: ?

Dugu Jieao: "We are indeed here to see things, but not to see things like you."

The young man choked and stared at the two of them.

Dugu Jieao: "Why are you looking at my girlfriend? Be careful not to break your leg!"

Ou Jingnian frowned and glanced at her, Dugu Jieao immediately changed his words: "I'll break your leg when my girlfriend isn't around!"

Ou Jingnian: ...

The young man stood there unconvinced and embarrassingly embarrassed. The middle-aged woman who won the second place in the pk just now snorted triumphantly, stepped forward, and pretended to be warm-hearted: "Little girl, don't pay attention to him. There are no good products, just a glib mouth, come, come to Auntie, Auntie will show you good things."

Dugu Jieao glanced at her: "Auntie?"

The middle-aged woman smiled and wanted to hold her hand: "I think you are still studying? It's almost time to call me auntie. Let me tell you, I have lacquerware from the Tang Dynasty here..." She took out the lacquerware while talking. A lacquer bowl was mysteriously stuffed in front of Dugu Jieao.

Dugu cast a sideways glance at her: "I'm not a little girl, and you're not an aunt either. You must be at least sixty at this age, right? I'm probably enough to call you grandma, but you're not worthy."

The middle-aged woman's smile froze on her face.

Ou Jingnian called Dugu Jieao again, and Dugu Jieao's attitude became a little better, and he reached out and knocked on the lacquer bowl: "This thing is definitely made in the past 30 years. I have seen this a lot, you can't fool me."

The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly, turned around and walked away decisively, not wanting to have any more entanglements with these two people.But the middle-aged man who fell last in the pk obviously saw the two people in front of him slumped, but he still didn't give up and leaned forward: "I can't tell that the little girl is still an expert? Are you a lacquerware or a woodworker?"

Seeing that Ou Jingnian had caught him several times, Dugu Jieao showed a polite smile to him: "Be a policeman, and specialize in arresting those who sell fake antiques."

Middle-aged man: ...

Ou Jingnian glanced at Dugu Jieao speechlessly, smiled apologetically at the three of them, and dragged Dugu Jieao straight to the shop she was familiar with.
