Chapter 71 Chapter 71 "Can you do it?"

Xia Li glared at Jiang Zai, but the child burst into laughter.

Charlie also laughed and shook her head and said, "Oh, we have a little crazy person in our family."

After hearing this, Jiang Dong looked at Xia Li with a puzzled look. Xia Li then realized what she had said. She blinked a few times and then looked away to the front.

"Eh? I heard there's a big new supermarket opening up the street. I wonder if you've ever been there? Want to check it out?"

Charlie suggested.

She quite likes shopping, especially this very trendy way of shopping, where she can just wander through the ocean of various goods, pick out what she likes and wants, and then pay.

Jiang Dong had never been there, but since Xia Li suggested it, he decided to go and take a look.

As long as the mother and son like it, that's enough.

Jiang Dong had indeed never seen a place to shop like this. As soon as he came in, Xia Li first took out a basket that could be pulled on the ground, and then he held Jiang Zai, and the three of them entered the merchandise area.

There is a dazzling array of various goods, all neatly placed on the shelves for people to choose from.

There are quite a few people here, Jiang Dong looked at them.

Xia Li had been to other supermarkets before, but had never been to this one. She was quite curious about the new supermarket.

As soon as they entered, they saw the snack area. Xia Li turned her head to look at Jiang Zai and then smiled.

Jiangzai was also staring with his little eyes. In fact, not only Jiangzai, but also Xia Li herself was the same. Who doesn't like to eat snacks?

"There are so many cookies. Which one should I eat?" Charlie picked up a bag to take a look, then put it down and changed to another bag.

Jiang Zai couldn't stay in his father's arms any longer and flapped his legs to get down. Jiang Dong understood what he meant and put his son on the ground.

As soon as it was put down, Jiangzai refused to leave his father and squatted directly under the shelf, holding the bag of snacks that interested him in his little hands.

The colorful ones with various shapes are very attractive to children.

He was too small to reach the things on the upper shelves, and Charlie thought he was worried because he couldn't see or reach them. But she didn't realize that the things he was taking were on the lower two or three shelves, within his reach.

Charlie walked over with confusion and saw that the shelves below were filled with the kind of things that children liked very much.

"Ha, I see," she pointed and said to Jiang Dong, "there's so much knowledge involved in displaying goods in a supermarket. No wonder they can make money. Every family loves their children. If the children don't see it, it's fine. Put things where the children can reach them. If the children want it, what parent wouldn't buy it for them!"

Suddenly, Jiangzai seemed to see something, ran over quickly with his legs, squatted down and picked up something like a small ball.

Charlie walked over and found that there were different colors.

Jiang Zai held the things in his hands, turned his head happily and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, look!"

Jiang Dong: "What are you looking at, Jiang Zai!"

Jiang Zai said that his younger brother Anan came to play at home today and brought him this thing, which contained delicious candy. He became excited and said that he would give it to his younger brother Anan as well.

Anan's younger brother? Jiang Dong was puzzled.

Xia Li explained to him that it was the grandson of the Fang family that she had mentioned to him before.

The adults brought him here to play with Jiangzai today. When I went back home before, I heard from my aunt that the child now likes Jiangzai very much. His grandmother said that her grandson told them at home that he wanted to be the best friend in the world with Brother Ayi.

He came to play with Jiang Zai this time and asked Jiang Zai to come to him next time.

I guess Jiang Zai also remembered it. When he saw this thing, he was planning to bring it to his younger brother.

Xia Li was very happy. Who doesn't like their son to be popular? And Jiang Zai was growing up little by little. He even knew to bring gifts for his brother when visiting others.

Charlie waved her hand and said, "Buy it!"

Jiang Zai looked at his father, who also had a smile on his face and did not stop him.

So he squatted there, carefully and seriously picked out two other different colors, and then put them in the basket that his mother was holding.

"Mom!" Jiangzai shouted.

"Mom gets it. You can take two. Just put them in the basket first. We'll go check out after we finish shopping, okay?" Charlie knew what her son meant and spoke to him kindly.

Jiang Zai nodded happily.

Then, the two adults and the child went to other places together. In the washing area, Xia Li stayed the longest. The father and son were a little impatient, so Xia Li told them to go and explore on their own. She wanted to stay here and tell them to come back to her later.

One advantage of shopping in a supermarket is that you can choose.

For example, if you buy toothpaste at a convenience store, there might only be two or three varieties. However, in this large supermarket, Xia Li stood next to the toothpaste shelf, next to the toothbrush shelf, and this was the toothpaste section.

There are so many types of toothpaste, at least a dozen or twenty. She can choose the one she likes and is suitable for her based on brand, taste and price.

Charlie loved shopping like this; it really tickled her fancy. She looked at this, then that, and couldn't decide what to buy.

She could buy the same one she was using before, but with so many options to choose from, she couldn't resist a change. But if she bought a new one, she wouldn't know what to choose.

Seeing the ones for children next to them, Charlie was attracted to them again.

So cute, this packaging is in the shape of a little bunny.

I guess when Jiangzai uses this kind of toothpaste, he will brush his teeth happily every day without his aunt urging him every day.

There's also shampoo on the side. Yeah, I need that too. What flavor is it? Black tea, huh? Is there black tea flavored shampoo? I have to buy it. I have to buy it.

She still has some facial cleanser, but my aunt might be out of it. Otherwise, I could bring her another can. Hmm, although it seems like I bought a lot of things, they all seem to be necessities.

After putting the things into the shopping cart, Charlie looked at what she bought and felt a toothache on her face.

Why? She had clearly intended to buy only what she needed, the necessities for the house, but how could she have so many? What a sin! When she wasn't at the supermarket, she didn't feel like she was missing anything, but how come she was missing everything when she came here?

Why do I want everything I see?

Charlie didn't know why she wanted to buy things, and looked at her shopping basket with a puzzled look on her face.

When Jiang Dong came over with Jiang Zai in his arms, he saw Xia Li still picking things in front of a shelf.

He saw a basket full of things behind Charlie and walked to her side in surprise and asked, "What else are you planning to buy?"

Xia Li turned around excitedly and shared with Jiang Dong: "Look at this, I just discovered that this thing is also toothpaste. You don't need to squeeze it when you use it, just press it and it comes out. It's very convenient. It will save time in the morning."

Jiang Dong looked at the thing in Xia Li's hand and thought, no matter how novel this thing is, it is still toothpaste, and it has to be taken out before use!

However, he didn't dampen Charlie's enthusiasm. He just asked her to look at the things in her basket and said, "Look, isn't that the toothpaste you bought?"

Jiang Dong pointed at the item in the basket and asked.

Charlie looked back, sighed, and nodded dejectedly, "Yes, that's the toothpaste I chose with great difficulty."

She could only put down what she was holding and put it back to its original position, then looked at the father and son, "Why, are you two done shopping too?"

Jiang Zai looked at his mother in a somewhat flattering manner. He was holding a toy box in his hands. Xia Li walked over to take a look and said, "Is it a toy car? Why did you buy another toy car?"

We already have two or three toy cars at home, why buy another one?

She looked at Jiang Dong, then at her son, wondering whether the child wanted to buy it himself, or whether Jiang Dong, as his father, had to buy it for him.

Jiangzai hugged his mother tightly, fearing that she would disagree.

Jiang Dong spoke up for his son, "I bought this for him. You see your child so often and you don't buy him a toy. How can you not buy him a toy? Whatever other families have, my son must have it too."

Whatever other families have, your son must have, Charlie thought, who can I compare myself with?

Jiang Zai actually walked to the toys and remembered what his brother Anan had told him, that there were many kinds of toy cars in his house, including ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks.

Ginger doesn't like anything else, he just wants a police car.

Maybe because he saw that his son wanted it, Jiang Dong asked, Jiang Zai nodded, and then he took the thing in his arms.

What else could Charlie say? Two to one, the father and son were clearly the winners.

Anyway, it’s not her money, so she can just buy it. It won’t cost anyone else money.

When it was time to check out, Xia Li refused to let Jiang Dong pay for her and insisted on paying for the items she had chosen.

What she meant was that this thing was for her and her aunt's use, so he would pay for the toy car, and Charlie had no say in it.

It cost a lot of money, and Charlie felt bad when she paid, but she didn't show it.

But she knew that money was earned, not saved. If she wanted to spend money without feeling bad, she had to earn more money.

After leaving the supermarket, Jiangzai hugged his toy with a happy face.

As long as the child is happy, it’s not in vain that I brought him out today.

Charlie asked, "Why don't we just not eat? It's getting late. I took the kids out, and it's too late to go back. My aunt will be waiting for me."

Jiang Dong nodded. That was true. Don't keep them waiting. They were eating out while the elders were waiting at home. It was really not right.

"Then you and the child go back. You won't have anything to eat. Come, son, dad will carry you away." Jiang Dong picked up the child again and asked Xia Li for something.

"Give it to me. It's quite heavy. Your bag."

"Can you do it?"

Jiang Dong looked at Xia Li with his dark pupils, "You'd better stop talking and just give it to me."

Xia Li thought about it, took out the heaviest item in the bag, the shampoo, and held it herself, then handed the other things to Jiang Dong.

Jiang Dong is quite strong. He can walk more vigorously than Xia Li even when holding the child and carrying things.
