Chapter 23 Shopping in Town

"Mom, I'm going to town this afternoon to send a letter home. I'll be back late, so I guess you'll have to cook dinner for yourselves."

Lin Yiyi is not made of dough and is not so obedient.

Zhao's mother's face looked a little better, and then she said she was going to town and would not cook dinner.

This is going against her, right? Her face suddenly darkened, and she said sarcastically, "Second son's wife, I just told you to cook, and you threw it away. You are really hot-tempered.

Young people are ignorant, but I am an experienced person. My words may sound harsh, but they are all for your own good."

She even wanted to applaud Zhao's mother.

She speaks in a very circumstantial way. An ordinary girl would definitely be frightened by her words.

Lin Yiyi sneered in her heart, but pretended to be innocent on her face, "Mom, you really think too much, Brother Sheng asked me to write a letter to tell my parents about the marriage as soon as possible.

That’s why I went out. Besides, doesn’t the family cook before I come in?”

Mother Zhao was choked by her words. Her hands holding the chopsticks trembled. She said dryly, "Since it is the second son who said so, then you should go early and come back early."

This damn girl is quite good at talking.

He just came in and refused to obey her orders. He even dared to use Zhao Sheng's words to shut her up. When the second brother comes back, she will have to have a good talk with him and ask him to take care of him.

Lin Yiyi finished her meal quickly, put down the dishes and went back to the house to clean up. She didn't plan to wash the dishes, otherwise she would be treated as a soft persimmon.

She took out the cloth bag, packed her money and was about to go out, but Little Tail followed her in, pulled her pants, and stared at her with his round eyes, meaning that he didn't want her to leave.

Lin Yiyi looked down at the little carrot-head who was pulling her pants.

She reached out and ruffled his soft hair. "I'm going to town to mail a letter. I'll be back for dinner and bring you something delicious. You can play with your two brothers in the afternoon, okay?"

He looked up at her and moved his little mouth, "Okay."

Thinking there was something delicious to eat, Tiedan stopped pestering anyone and quickly ran out of the house with his short legs to play with his two brothers.

Children are easy to get along with, and as long as there is candy, they are good friends.

Lin Yiyi locked the door and walked out directly. She pretended not to hear what Zhao's mother was saying in the yard.

"People nowadays do nothing all day and are extremely lazy." Wang Caihong felt even more unhappy when she saw her daughter-in-law changed her clothes before going out.

As the mother-in-law, she works in the fields like a workhorse every day to earn work points, while the daughter-in-law stays at home to cook.

If you say something to her, she will get angry and start fighting.

Ma Dongmei cleared the table and went back to the house. Seeing her husband resting on the kang, she walked over and complained, "Listen, you can see it now. I told you that your mother's temper is not so easy to deal with. She always teaches her daughter-in-law behind her back and never says anything bad in front of her son."

Zhao Li turned over, not wanting to listen to his wife's nagging, and said impatiently: "Okay, take a break, we still have to go to work in the afternoon. What's wrong with a daughter-in-law letting her mother say a few words? If she wants to say something to you, it must be because you did something, otherwise she can't find fault with you."

This damn guy, it's all a waste of time to say all these things to him.

Ma Dongmei angrily raised her fist and punched him.

Zhao Li turned over and pulled his wife onto the kang, coaxing her, "I know everything, but the family is still together, and mother is the one who makes the decisions at home and outside.

I'm her son, how could I not know what kind of person she is? Be patient, wait until my younger brothers and sisters get married, then I will ask for a division.

It's only a matter of one or two years. If your mother says something mean, just pretend you didn't hear it. Otherwise, you'll be the one who gets mad at her."

Zhao Li is the third child in the family.

He has an older brother who is a worker in the provincial capital, and younger brothers and sisters who are in high school. He is a country guy who does farm work by physical strength in between.

He had enough of his mother's neglect and cold words when he was a child.

His mother has always been partial to his eldest brother and younger brothers and sisters.

If the second son hadn't had the ability to become a truck driver, his mother would have felt proud and started to treat him well.

Zhao Li understood very well that in his mother's heart, whoever has a promising future is a good son.

Anyway, we can just wait and divide the family in two years.

I didn't expect that her man couldn't even fart for a long time.

I knew what was going on in my mind, and after getting his approval, I didn't care anymore.

Although her husband is a man of few words and not as capable as the eldest and second sons, he is very good to her in the village.

The men of her sisters from her mother's side were either beaten or hit if they drank cat urine, and bruises appeared on their bodies from time to time. But they still had to pretend nothing happened in public and live their lives with gritted teeth.

Apart from being scolded by her mother-in-law sometimes, her life is pretty comfortable and she is quite content.

Lin Yiyi was walking towards the town, and when she was almost there, she heard someone calling from behind.

"Yiyi, why are you going to town alone? Walking must be tiring, right?" Zhao Shuwen rode his bicycle with Wang Rulan, his face full of smiles but he couldn't hide the mockery in his eyes.

This is really a narrow road for enemies.

Lin Yiyi glanced at Wang Rulan with her clear almond eyes and said angrily, "Lanlan, what are you doing? Are you and Comrade Zhao Shuwen together?"

After saying this, he pretended that he had not said the wrong thing on purpose and covered his mouth in feigned surprise.

Lin Yiyi glanced at Zhao Shuwen, who had a red face and was gentle and fair-skinned.

Tsk tsk, so innocent. She's embarrassed by just one sentence. Will Wang Rulan give up the male lead and give the innocent boy a name?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Shuwen and I are just good friends."

Wang Rulan glared at Lin Yiyi fiercely, but her tone was as gentle as ever.

What does this damn girl mean by having to bring trouble to her?

Zhao Shuwen felt a little disappointed when he heard Wang Rulan's denial, but he still agreed with her and said, "You misunderstood, Comrade Lin Yiyi, Lanlan and I are just friends. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

After saying that, he pushed off the bike and rode away.

Behind him, Wang Rulan, where he couldn't see, was giving Lin Yiyi a sour look.

Lin Yiyi sneered secretly, changing her face was really her unique skill.

If Wang Rulan had been born a few decades later and gone to an art school to film a movie, it would have been a shame if she hadn't won a gold medal. Her acting skills were so flexible.

When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, there were not many people wandering around the streets in the afternoon, and the sales clerks there were cracking melon seeds.

Chatting.

Suddenly a beautiful lady came.

Several people stared at her with their eyes popping out. She had fair skin, beautiful looks, a well-proportioned figure, and a long black braid that was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Lin Yiyi walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, stood in front of it, and asked a saleswoman, "Comrade, do you have any nice coats and leather shoes? Or soft and colorful fabrics are also fine."

Saleswoman Song Xiaohua secretly looked at the lesbian's outfit.

The tweed coat and sheepskin shoes were so fashionable. The clothes from the supply and marketing cooperative were not as good-looking as the ones she was wearing. What could she say?

"These are the ones hanging here. See if you like them. The fabrics are Dacron and pure cotton."

After saying that, he took out several pieces of fabric from the cupboard and placed them in front of Lin Yiyi for her to choose.

Hanging on the wall are Zhongshan suits of different colors.

Either four pockets or two pockets.

No matter what she chooses, they are all tacky. She really can't have any hope. Forget it, she can't buy a nice coat, so she might as well buy some fabric and make two sets of pajamas for herself.

There are two types of cotton fabric, pure white and purple plaid pattern.

There are many colors of Dacron.

It’s a pity that it can’t be used to make pajamas. The fabric doesn’t wrinkle easily, but it has very poor breathability.

"Give me two kinds of cotton cloth, four feet each." It was enough to make two nightgowns. Thinking about the children at home, "also give me two packs of peach cakes and a pound of milk candy."

"The cotton cloth is fifty cents a foot, four yuan in total, two packs of peach cakes are two yuan and forty cents, and the toffee is eighty cents, so the total is seven yuan and twenty cents."

Song Xiaohua skillfully cut the cloth, packed the snacks and placed them on the counter.

Lin Yiyi was counting the money when she accidentally saw some cakes in a glass cabinet. She pointed with a slender finger and asked, "What kind of cake is this? It tastes delicious."

"This is a tongue biscuit. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's very fragrant. But it's a little expensive. One dollar per pound. Do you want it?"

This tongue biscuit is delicious, but it doesn’t sell well because people think it is too expensive.
