"Dad, please let me do it."

Lu Fangfang walked to the moon gate and saw Zhuang's father wiping old furniture in the yard.

She quickly went over and took it.

"Fangfang, Mingcheng, did you buy all of these?"

Lu Fangfang was still a little embarrassed, and said first, "Dad, this was all my idea. I think these are all good things and will definitely appreciate in value in the future, so I used my spare money to buy some and plan to keep them."

Father Zhuang smiled and shook his head; he wasn't there to interrogate him.

“These are indeed good things. I even saw some Ming Dynasty style tables and chairs, which may have been used for hundreds of years.”

"Fangfang, don't worry about these furniture. I'll guard them for you and make sure no one else touches them."

"Thank you, Dad."

Lu Fangfang was overjoyed. She hadn't expected to find Ming Dynasty tables and chairs. It seemed that it was easy to find bargains in the capital during that era.

She wiped the old furniture in the yard, then called her husband, and together they moved it into the east and west wing rooms.

The next day, Lu Fangfang had her husband take her to several other trust stores in Beijing.

One of them is a trust shop located on Longfusi Street, which specializes in buying and selling secondhand books.

Lu Fangfang and her husband went shopping and specifically picked out some well-preserved old books from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period.

She only stopped when she had spent one-fifth of her money.

Two more days passed, and the New Year was just around the corner.

Lu Fangfang took the old man's food and groceries ration book and took the initiative to queue up to buy New Year's goods.

On New Year's Eve, the family enjoyed a lively reunion dinner together.

After the New Year, the capital city was still very lively.

Lu Fangfang led her two children and followed Zhuang Mingcheng to stroll through the lively temple fair.

In this era, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is truly strong.

A few days later, just as she was thinking about taking the child to climb the Great Wall, Zhuang Mingcheng returned with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

Zhuang Mingcheng took a deep breath and said, "There's trouble in the north. Fighting has already broken out in the Northeast. We need to go back ahead of time."

"ah……"

The Zhenbao Island self-defense counterattack instantly flashed into Lu Fangfang's mind.

Knowing the result, she felt a little relieved, but she didn't dare to slack off.

The two immediately went to the west courtyard and told the old man about it.

"Mingcheng, hurry up and buy the nearest train ticket. This matter cannot be delayed."

Zhuang's father had a serious expression.

Zhuang Mingcheng nodded, turned around, and strode away.

Beside her, Mrs. Zhuang's eyes darted around, realizing this was a good opportunity.

She strode forward and said with a smile:

"Fangfang, you seem to be in a hurry to go back this time. Why don't you leave Dandan and Qingqing here first? The conditions here in Beijing are good. Don't worry, I'll take care of them. The two children will definitely be healthy."

Lu Fangfang: "..."

"What kind of trouble are you causing now, Fangfang? Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."

Zhuang's father immediately glared at her.

"What nonsense am I talking about? The conditions in the capital are better than in other places. I'm doing this all for the good of the child."

"Egg, Qingqing, do you two want to stay in the capital?"

Zhuang's mother looked confidently at the two children.

"No, no, I want a donkey, I want a little yellow dog..."

"I want Xiaohua, I want my sister, Mom, please don't leave us in Beijing."

The two children immediately ran to Lu Fangfang and hugged her legs.

Tears welled up in the two children's eyes, and they looked like they were about to cry.

Lu Fangfang immediately felt sorry for the two children and quickly hugged them.

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't worry, Mom won't leave you here. You are all Mom's precious babies. Your grandma was just joking."

"you……"

Before Zhuang's mother could say anything more, she saw Lu Fangfang pick up the two children, turn around, and walk out.

“Lu Fangfang, don’t be so selfish. Even if it’s for the children’s sake, you have to keep them in the capital.”

Mrs. Zhuang chased after him to the door, shouting loudly.

In the courtyard, Lu Fangfang rolled her eyes and ignored her completely.

She's not that stupid to leave a perfectly good child to be cared for by a drama queen.

Carrying her children back to the east courtyard, she figured she still had some time, so she immediately took the two children to the nearby Wangfujing Department Store.

Taking advantage of the abundant supply of goods in the capital, she planned to buy more scarce items and bring them back with her.

afternoon.

Lu Fangfang was packing her luggage inside when she saw her husband rushing back from outside.

"Did you buy the tickets?"

"Yeah, we need to get up early for the 8:30 am ticket tomorrow."

As Zhuang Mingcheng spoke, he reached out and pulled his wife up, placing a cloth bundle in her hands.

What is that?

"Take it apart and see."

"Very mysterious."

Lu Fangfang glanced at her husband, then lifted the cloth covering her clothes, revealing a woolen overcoat underneath.

She stared in surprise for a moment, then realized what was happening.

This wool coat is the one they saw at the department store before the Lunar New Year.

"The price was 160 yuan, why didn't you tell me before buying it? It's too expensive. By the way, where did you get the money?"

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore. I'll just buy it anyway, since I can't return it."

Lu Fangfang was secretly delighted.

One hundred and sixty yuan—I wonder how long he'd saved up his secret stash of money; he's really generous.

She unfolded it and looked at it, then immediately put it back on and found it fit perfectly.

"Looks good, Mom looks good, Mom looks good in her clothes."

Egg and Green clap their hands and praise with smiles.

Zhuang Mingcheng nodded in agreement.

My wife has fair skin to begin with, and she looks even better in this stylish coat.
