In the 80s, a scumbag father brings his mistress into the house, lives in his ex-wife's home, sleeps in her bed, and even abuses his ex-wife's children!
Then, Yao Shu, specifically in...
Chapter 437 Banner
Grandma Yao said she wanted to present a banner to Director Du, so there must be a reason for it.
Director Du already told them to go to the ward to see him from now on, and not to come in line to register for minor ailments. Grandma Yao has to show some appreciation!
“I said Director Du definitely doesn’t care about things like banners, but Grandma says it’s different!” Miao Yamin said to Yao Shula with a smile.
Yao Shula had already ordered the food. After handing the menu to the waiter, she looked at Grandma Yao with curiosity.
"Grandma, why did you think of sending a banner to Director Du? The clinics in the hospital are different from those small clinics downstairs."
Doctors in small towns wish their rooms were covered with banners of appreciation, as they needed them to prove their medical skills were excellent and that they were respected and loved by others.
For this reason, many people secretly order banners to put in their homes!
But Director Du... probably doesn't need it.
"Besides, hospitals probably don't allow banners to be hung in the consultation room, they're big hospitals," Yao Shula advised.
Grandma Yao shook her head.
"That's different. Whether Director Du wants to accept the patient is one thing, but Director Du is a skilled doctor and he's also considering the patient's well-being. He certainly doesn't want the patient to pay for this."
"Alright, don't worry about this. I know what I'm doing. Just tell me where I can get banners made." Grandma Yao already had a plan.
Seeing Grandma Yao's resolute expression, Yao Shula had no choice but to nod.
“Okay, Grandma, tell me what kind of banner you want to make, and I’ll find someone to make it for you.”
Grandma Yao really thought about it seriously.
"I really can't remember right now."
"Ya Min, you're a teacher, you're very knowledgeable, can you help me think of something?" In the end, Grandma Yao had no choice but to ask Miao Ya Min for help.
After thinking for a moment, Miao Yamin came up with a message for Grandma Yao to present to the doctor on a banner.
"Exquisite medical skills and dedication, noble medical ethics and benevolent heart! Grandma, what do you think of this copy?" Miao Yamin looked at Grandma Yao.
Grandma Yao thought for a moment and realized they were all good words, all good words to describe doctors!
“Okay, this is it! We’ll use this as the banner. Shura, hurry up and find someone to make it! It has to be done before we leave!” Grandma Yao immediately made the decision.
Yao Shula could only say that she would find someone to make the banner as soon as possible.
Of course, Yao Shula didn't know where to make the banner; all she had to do was tell Lei Jingwu about it.
After learning the whole story, Lei Jingwu couldn't stop smiling and kept saying that Grandma Yao was indeed a good grandma who knew how to repay kindness!
The banner that Grandma Yao wanted was made in just one day.
Yao Shula and Miao Yamin originally planned to take Grandma Yao with them to present the banner, and even said they would find a few more people to go with them.
Grandma Yao, however, firmly refused.
"I'll take him myself, you don't need to go. I've been to the hospital twice, I know which bus to take."
Aren't you busy? Go ahead and do your work!
Yamin, you and Ping An should go out and have some fun, buy some things for your old lady and the kids, instead of always hanging around this old woman like me.
I'd like to explore on my own, okay?
There was nothing they could do; Grandma Yao was adamant, so everyone had to go along with her.
...
Grandma Yao was thinking about delivering the banner, while Miao Yamin, Zhong Xiaochun, and Yao Chunian were busy preparing things to take back home.
Yao Shula and Lei Jingwu prepared a lot, including wedding candy and various snacks, filling three large travel bags.
Yao Shula also took them to shopping malls in Shanghai, where they bought a lot of clothes and accessories.
Whether it's Miao Yamin, Yao Chunian, or Zhong Xiaochun, they all felt they couldn't take it all in after seeing the dazzling array of goods.
Now they've earned a lot of money, unlike before when they had to save up for half a year to buy a single piece of clothing.
They bought clothes for themselves, for their children, for the men in their families, and for their sisters-in-law. Zhong Xiaochun and Yao Chunian even bought a set of clothes for each of Yao's aunt and uncle.
They also bought quite a lot of some items that are in high demand and hard to buy in Yun County.
Zhong Xiaochun was very tempted by a color TV in the mall.
"Third sister-in-law, do you want to buy this TV?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Zhong Xiaochun nodded.
"This is an imported color TV. I asked, and it has more than a hundred channels. We don't have it where we live. The provincial capital does have it, but it's hard to buy."
Upon hearing Zhong Xiaochun's words, Yao Shula knew that she must have been watching for a long time.
“The price of imported color TVs is high now, and the price of this TV… wow, it’s over six thousand!” Yao Shula was also shocked.
She also has them at home, but they were all obtained by Lei Jingwu, and she has never actually asked about their prices.
I never imagined that color TVs would be so expensive now.
"That's normal! Domestic ones cost over three thousand. This one has a big screen and many channels. Do you see that video recorder over there? My brother's family has one too."
Normally, when we show videos, a lot of people gather around to watch. Now, there are places in Yun County that rent videotapes.
"What a pity, it's not easy to bring it back!" Zhong Xiaochun said with a sigh.
Yao Shula knew from Zhong Xiaochun's words that Zhong Xiaochun must have made a lot of money running his restaurant in recent years, otherwise he wouldn't have said that he didn't think the prices were expensive, but only that it was difficult to take the food back home.
Miao Yamin, who was also looking at small appliances nearby, immediately came over upon hearing this.
"Which color TV does Third Sister-in-law want to buy?"
"Yeah, I want to buy it, but it's not easy to carry. To be honest, I brought a lot of money with me this time. Apart from giving Shura a red envelope, I didn't spend much money on anything else."
Your third brother asked me to bring some money so I could see what good things to buy in Shanghai and bring them back.
I want to take the TV back with me, but it's such a long way, it would be difficult to carry.
"Never mind, let's wait until next time!" Zhong Xiaochun still felt a little regretful.
Miao Yamin sighed at the price of the imported color TV while reassuring Zhong Xiaochun.
"Don't worry about buying it! There's room to store it. Zhou Ping'an already contacted a convoy in Yun County when he came with us."
They happened to have a truck delivering goods to Shanghai, and they were going back empty.
Zhou Ping'an's idea was that we should put all our luggage in the convoy's vehicles and take it back, which would make things much easier for us.
Zhou Ping'an is now a minor official, and he has helped the team leader of that convoy with a lot of things. The team leader said he would definitely help us send the things back properly.
Third Sister-in-law, don't worry, you can buy it!
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaochun's eyes immediately lit up.
She can finally spend money without worry.
Yao Shula's eyes lit up as well.
She could finally openly bring lots of things back to her grandmother and the others...
I was worried that Grandma and the others would be traveling by car and it would be difficult to bring all that stuff. But now that I see someone is taking the luggage back, I can just go all out and buy whatever I want!
"Cousin, Third Sister-in-law, Sister Chun Nian, let's go shopping!" Yao Shu waved her hand and led the women's army to continue shopping.
