Xu Xiangjuan was really planning to buy and picked out two pieces to try on.

There is a fitting room in the store. She tries the clothes in it and buys them if they fit.

In the past, when Guan Qian bought underwear, she never tried them on like Xu Xiangjuan did. But when she saw her trying them on today, she was so excited that she picked her own size and tried them on as well.

Xu Xiangjuan bought two pieces, which were almost suitable, while Guan Qian was still choosing, as she really didn't know which one to choose.

In the past, she not only didn't try on clothes, she also didn't choose carefully before buying anything. She would just tell her size, and when people brought her a few pieces to choose from, she would just take one or two and leave in a hurry.

Xu Xiangjuan did not disturb Guan Qian as she was carefully choosing and was looking at a silk nightgown.

"Do you like this nightgown?" Guan Qian saw Xu Xiangjuan looking at the nightgown, so she came over and asked after she picked one.

Xu Xiangjuan: "I think it suits you very well."

Xu Xiangjuan took a burgundy one and tried it on Guan Qian.

Guan Qian blushed when she heard what Xu Xiangjuan said, "How can this suit me? I think it suits you."

Xu Xiangjuan: "It matches your skin tone very well. If it were me, I would prefer black or white, but they are not available here... I'll buy it for you. It will keep you cool in the summer."

There is no need to try on the nightgown. Xu Xiangjuan can tell whether the size is suitable at a glance.

Guan Qian’s attitude was that although she was not sure whether she liked him, she definitely did not hate him.

Guan Qian: "No, I can buy it myself."

Xu Xiangjuan is now sure that she likes it. "Why don't you let me give you a gift? Our family will have to live there for a long time."

Guan Qian was a little embarrassed, "Didn't I give you money?"

In fact, she really disliked her husband who acted on his own. Although he seemed to be indecisive at ordinary times, when it came to doing something, he would persuade her in all kinds of ways and it was impossible for her to agree.

When did she not agree? Every time she would be angry for a long time.

Because of this, she didn't take the initiative to talk to him for several days, and the few conversations between the couple were still because of Zhuzhu.

What can she do? She still went to tell her parents if she didn't like it.

He took fifty dollars home that day. Since the couple had their own money, she asked him directly whether he had put in the money himself.

He was still incredulous and quickly explained that the money was not his, but was given by his old classmate's family.

It seemed that she was not lying. Her expression improved after I gave her the money. At least she was not the kind of person who was so shameless as to live here.

In fact, sometimes we can tell how parents teach their children from their behavior. When Niu Niu took her son Zhuzhu to wash his hands, she knew that his parents must pay great attention to their children's education.

After just a short while of contact with Xu Xiangjuan today, she realized that she was not the kind of person she thought she was.

Xu Xiangjuan is not stingy. On the contrary, she is very generous, and not in a fake way.

He is not petty in his behavior, is very independent-minded, and is not shy about doing things or buying things. He is very natural. She is very willing to deal with such people.

Her colleagues at school felt that she was difficult to get along with and didn't interact with her much. But when she was with Xu Xiangjuan, she started to talk more.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Money is money, and gifts are gifts. They cannot be compared."

She didn't really like to trouble other people, and since she was living in someone else's house for "unclear reasons", she always had to make up for it.

The rent was not clearly stated yet, so she thought she would talk about it after the restaurant opened. She couldn't live there for free, and she couldn't say for sure how long she would stay there.

It will take time for Aning to become a lecturer, apply, be reviewed, be allocated a house, and get the house. Maybe it will take one or two years in total.

How long can 50 yuan alone last for such a long time?

Guan Qian thought about it and decided to accept it. "You gave me a gift, so I'll give you one too. Shall we go pick out perfumes later?"

Xu Xiangjuan: "You don't have to give me a gift... You can give me some if you want. Just buy me some peanut crisps so I can take them home and give them to the kids. Tell them they are gifts from their aunt. I only bought some for myself today and didn't buy any for them. They will blame me for a while."

She knew Guan Qian was not the kind of person who liked to owe others anything. Although a nightgown was nothing, it was difficult for her to refuse if the other person wanted to reciprocate.

Guan Qian: "Peanut crisps are fine, I'll buy some too."

The two of them walked around for half an afternoon before Xu Xiangjuan remembered, "We're here to look at watches today. Let's go look at some watches."

"Let's check the watch next time." Her husband said casually. She didn't bring enough money with her, and she had spent most of the money she brought this afternoon.

Her family conditions are actually quite good. After she got married, she gave birth to a baby. Her parents and parents-in-law all contribute to her family's financial support. She is also a teacher and has her own savings after teaching for several years. Apart from makeup and clothes, she has not spent much money. After shopping this afternoon, she felt really happy to spend money.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, let's make an appointment next time. Let Dayue and my daughter Aning inform us in advance so I can prepare dinner for you."

...

Gua Gua and Niu Niu were still too young and didn’t take Auntie’s warning to Zhu Zhu to heart.

"Piggy, no." This was not the first time Niu Niu had said this, and he didn't even know how many times he had said it.

However, since this was his first time meeting a child younger than him, he was very patient.

When Zhuzhu heard brother Niu Niu say no, he retracted his hand again.

Soon, Piglet's little hand stretched out again as if out of control.

Zhuzhu's little ruthless hands wanted to destroy the flower, but he failed because sister Guagua and brother Niu Niu were watching them.

After Niu Niu said no for who knows how many times, the mothers finally came back.

"It seems like you bought a lot of things." Yin Yue smiled when he saw that his wife and Aning's wife seemed to be getting along happily.

They must have gotten along very well, luckily he was smart.

Guan Qian: "Indeed, I bought a lot, but there's nothing for you."

Of course, you can have a bite of the peanut crisps, Guan Qian said in her heart.

Yin Yue: "It's okay, it's okay, just have fun shopping."

It was almost time to go home. Guan Qian called Zhuzhu, "Zhuzhu, we're going home."

Zhuzhu looked at the flowers reluctantly, and finally said goodbye to his brothers and sisters. He was taken out of the bedroom by his mother and carried home by his father.

Fearing that a verbal promise to meet next time might seem empty, Xu Xiangjuan simply suggested meeting on the next weekend and the two of them would go out for afternoon tea at a famous restaurant in the school district.

There were no men, no children, just the two women drinking tea and going shopping together.

Men and children who stay at home don’t know about the agreement between their lovers/mothers.

It's just time to go home.

After seeing off Yin Yue, Guan Qian and their family, Gua Gua and Niu Niu asked their mother what she had bought.

Xu Xiangjuan had already put the underwear into the closet while the children were not paying attention, and the remaining items were not something that could not be seen by children.

Xu Xiangjuan: "There are my mother's cosmetics, which children are not allowed to touch, and sandals I bought for Guagua and Niu Niu."

The sandals are not expensive, two pairs are only 4 yuan, and the quality is good. There are separate styles for boys and girls. Gua Gua's sandals even have bows on them.

When Gua Gua and Niu Niu saw the sandals, they tried them on immediately and said they liked them very much.

Xu Xiangjuan continued to take out the things. "Aning, there is also a belt I bought for you. This one is not as bright as the one I gave you last time. It is much more low-key and can be used alternately... The other thing is this box of peanut crisps. Auntie bought it for our family."

Xu Xiangjuan opened the box of peanut crisps and each of the four members of the family ate one first.

After eating the peanut crisps, Xu Xiangjuan asked the two children: "Guagua Niu Niu, did you take good care of your little brother today?"

"Yes, my brother is a good boy." Although his younger brother was not that well-behaved, in Niu Niu's eyes, his younger brother was already very good and a good child.

"Zhuzhu kept wanting to pick flowers, but we wouldn't let him." Guagua summarized her and Niu Niu's experience for half an afternoon in one sentence.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Well, we can't let the children pick them. There are only a few flowers left because of the hot weather. If we let my brother pick them, there will be no flowers left at home."

"A Ning, what about you?"

"Me? I chatted with Dayue this afternoon and talked for half the afternoon... By the way, Juan, Zhuzhu is going to preschool. Dayue said the kindergarten they chose is good. They will take a leave this semester to take the child to the kindergarten to discuss the situation. We can also take Niu Niu. That school does not prohibit children from other places from coming to study, but it may be more expensive."

Xu Xiangjuan: "It's okay if it's a little expensive, we can just go and have a look together when the time comes."

Yin Yue and Guan Qian are from Huadu and are high school teachers. There will be no problem if the child follows them to go to school. By then, the primary school that Guagua attends can also be decided, which is a big solution.

...

Sitting on the bus, Yin Yue held his son and said to his wife who was carrying a few paper bags, "Qianqian, I told you, right, they are a reasonable family, and Zhuzhu is having a lot of fun playing with his brothers and sisters, right?"

"Yes, I won't pick the flowers." Zhuzhu also wanted to explain the matter of flowers in particular.

He was particularly obedient this afternoon and did not cause any trouble. Of course, that was mainly because his older brothers and sisters were watching him.

Guan Qian did not deny it: "He is indeed a nice person. I have an appointment with Juan for afternoon tea next week. I will not have lunch then. You can take Zhuzhu to Zhuzhu's grandparents' or grandpa's and grandma's house."

"You made an appointment so quickly?" Yin Yue was surprised.

"Very quickly? Not bad."

Pig: "I want tea, too."

Both adults ignored Zhuzhu's words. Guan Qian was thinking about what to wear to the date on her day off. She had never been so concerned about it when she was dating Yin Yue.

Yin Yue was happy. Although he, as a grown man, was not included in the afternoon tea, his wife had made the call and he would not have to worry about it anymore.
