When he took a box of vanishing cream, Yun Huaying quickly stopped him: "I don't want vanishing cream, I don't like applying this."
"So what do you use?"
Han Zheng remembered that female comrades all liked snow cream. His mother and sister would buy it every year, especially in winter. They would apply a layer on their faces every time they went out, saying that it could prevent cold.
Yun Huaying used all the cosmetics from the space, but she couldn't tell him the truth, so she lied: "I use the medicinal cream I made myself."
Looking at her delicate skin, Han Zheng decided that her own face cream was better than this vanishing cream, so he returned the bottle to the salesperson, pointed to the hair accessories next to it, and picked out a few beautiful hair bands for her.
They were choosing gifts for each other, and others were also doing some shopping.
Li Shutong originally wanted to buy ready-made clothes, but when she saw that her niece bought a sewing machine for the family, she discussed it with Xiao Xiangyi and finally decided to buy fabrics that were much cheaper than ready-made clothes.
They all know how to use sewing machines. Although their tailoring skills are not as good as those of professional masters, they can still sew a few decent winter clothes for their families.
Yun Huaying had also bought enough, so she asked Han Zheng to deliver the things to the car first. Seeing that the elders were still selecting cotton cloth and other things, she pulled her cousin who was helping to carry things to go select wool yarn, "Sister Chaoyan, I have some textile tickets. Come over and pick out some wool yarn you like."
"Huaying, wool is very expensive and textile tickets are hard to come by, so buy some for your parents." Yun Chaoyan is a very filial daughter who always considers her parents first in everything.
Yun Huaying whispered in her ear about the black market in Yang County, "You can often buy good wool there without coupons. I'll buy more and send it to you later. I don't have many textile coupons, so go pick some and knit a sweater or scarf first."
"Huaying, it's colder in Yang County than here. It's probably going to snow soon. I'll knit you a sweater first." Yun Chaoyan still didn't consider herself.
"No, I have some. I bought some wool a while ago and asked the educated youth I live with to knit it for me. I can wear it when I get home."
As the two sisters were talking, they had already walked to the yarn counter. Seeing that the brightly colored yarns had been picked out long ago, only black, gray, blue and white were left. Yun Huaying said, "Sister Chaoyan, none of these colors suit you. How about I give you the ticket and money and you can come back in a couple of days."
The salesperson, who was sorting the yarn, joined in, saying, "Comrades, a new batch of goods will be delivered in three days, and it will have the colors you young women will like."
"Thank you, big sister." Yun Huaying thanked her and said to her cousin, "Come back in three days to buy it."
"OK."
Yun Chaoyan had no objection.
Since they failed to buy the wool, Yun Huaying took her to buy school supplies and picked out a lot of small things that girls like.
After a big shopping spree in the morning, it was already eleven o'clock when we got home. The men were responsible for sorting out the spoils, while the women immediately went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
While my aunt and the others were busy in the kitchen, Yun Huaying came to talk to my uncle again. "Uncle, we have our own house with a separate entrance and yard, and the backyard is quite big too. Let's raise some chickens at home. I'll grab a few laying hens from my space and take good care of them so that we can have eggs to eat in the future."
"good."
Yun Shaofan had never raised chickens before, but that didn't bother them. Without further ado, they prepared to build a chicken coop. "Let's go out and find some bamboo to build the coop first. We'll find an excuse to go out and buy chickens tomorrow."
He was going to look for bamboo, and Han Zheng went to help him very tactfully. He soon came back carrying a bundle of bamboo and started making a chicken coop with quick movements.
Yun Jingmo and his friends were not idle either. They had just bought hoes and other agricultural tools in the store. Now they were cleaning up the wasteland in the backyard, planning to cultivate it and grow vegetables for winter. This would make them self-sufficient and save the family a lot of money.
"It's time to eat."
The lunch was simple. Li Shutong cooked a small pot of pork stewed with dried vegetables, a large portion of pork and potatoes and braised tofu, and also cracked seven or eight eggs and fried them into scallion omelets, and a light dish of pickled cabbage.
After dinner, Yun Chaoyan was responsible for washing the dishes, and Yun Huaying began to prepare dinner.
"Han Zheng, can your family members eat spicy food?"
The Han family is an honored guest, so this dinner has to be prepared carefully. Yun Huaying plans to cook dishes that suit their taste.
"My brother Zhe and I can handle spicy food, no matter how spicy it is. The others prefer mild spiciness."
His parents, sister and aunt's family used to live in Kyoto and later came to Jinling. The food in these two places is not spicy, so their taste tends to be salty, fresh and sweet.
Yun Huaying is the chef for tonight's dinner. She set the menu and no one else had any objections. They all followed her arrangements. Except for the people who cleaned the chicken coops and the vegetable garden, everyone else helped out.
18:20.
The sound of a car shutting down was heard outside, and Yun Shaofan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately got up and led his whole family to greet them.
Han Zhangping, wearing a gray coat, got out of the car first. Seeing his childhood playmate whom he hadn't seen for nearly 30 years, he smiled and said, "Shao Fan."
"Zhang Ping."
They are now middle-aged, and their appearance and temperament have changed a lot from when they were children, but it does not affect their friendship in their youth at all.
When the two men met and shook hands, Li Suyao also got out of the car. Yun Shaofan said with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law, right?"
"Yes, my wife Li Suyao." Han Zhangping introduced her to him.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Yun Shaofan, and this is my wife, Li Shutong."
"My sister-in-law's surname is also Li, so we are from the same family." Li Suyao is good at interpersonal relationships and can bring people closer with just one sentence.
As they were talking, Han Bingyu led two children down from another car. She strode over with her bag, smiling generously and gently, "Brother Shaofan, do you remember me?"
"Bingyu, I haven't seen you for many years."
Yun Shaofan didn't have a deep impression of her. Only a vague shadow remained in his mind. However, after seeing the person, the shadow merged with the real person.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Han Bingyu shook hands with him and Li Shutong, and introduced herself: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Han Bingyu, Zhengzi's aunt."
"Hello, Bingyu."
Li Shutong addressed her by name affectionately and quickly called the younger generations to come over and greet them: "Huaying, Jingmo, Chaoyan, Nanxing, come over and greet the elders."
The four brothers and sisters were all wearing new clothes bought that morning. They had received traditional education since childhood, and there was absolutely no fault in their manners and etiquette. They all behaved gracefully when greeting their elders and introducing themselves.
The three elders of the Han family looked at them with bright eyes, especially Li Suyao. She had seen Yun Huaying a long time ago and was sure at a glance that this was the girl that the second son fell in love with at first sight.
it's beautiful!
If she were a gay man, he would definitely fall in love with her at first sight.
After they greeted the elders of the Han family, the younger generations of the Han family also came over to introduce themselves. They came from military and political families, and were influenced by their family education. They all had the perseverance and heroism in their bones of a soldier. Their temperament was quite different from that of the Yun family, but they were also attracted to each other.
