With Lu Zhengxu leading the way, the two of them left the supply and marketing cooperative very smoothly.
At the door, Wu Guilan and her two children were looking inside and saw the two of them coming over.
Wu Guilan couldn't help but sigh, "There are too many people here. They say the harvest is bad this year, and many families have to go out begging and can't even afford to eat, but the number of people buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative has not decreased at all."
Chen Jiao smiled and said, “No matter how hard life is, shouldn’t we still enjoy the New Year?”
Wu Guilan smiled and said, "That's true. Every year is difficult but we still get through it. We look forward to the New Year all year long. We have to enjoy it well."
Chen Jiao checked the things Lu Zhengxu bought.
She had already bought everything she had planned to buy, and she also needed to buy some snacks for her two children.
It wouldn't be a wasted trip for the two little guys to come to the city with me, right?
Chen Jiao went to buy sesame cakes and candied haws for the two little ones. The adults also bought a sesame cake to fill their stomachs first, and there was also a string of candied haws for herself and Wu Guilan.
Wu Guilan was originally distressed about the money and didn't want it, but Chen Jiao took advantage of her inattention and stuffed a candied haws into her mouth, smiling and asking, "Mom, is it sweet?"
Wu Guilan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of sweet saliva, then quickly took the candied haws out of her mouth, looking at Chen Jiao lovingly and helplessly, "Jiaojiao, Mom is so old, why do you want to eat these things? Just buy them for yourself, Yangyang, and Nannan, Mom really doesn't want them."
Chen Jiao raised her eyebrows and spread her hands helplessly, "Mom, you have already tasted this candied haws, you can't refuse it."
"Comrade, please give me three more strings of candied haws."
She and her two children each had one string.
As for Lu Zhengxu...
No!
Because the dog man said that men don’t eat snacks, she didn’t give her any.
Little girl bit a candied haws, filling her cheeks with it.
The little guy squinted his eyes happily, and said in a vague voice: "Sour and sweet is so good."
Chen Jiao smiled and rubbed her little girl's head, "Nannan likes to eat it. In a few days, mom will go up the mountain to find some hawthorns and come back to make it for you.
The candied haws my mother makes are even more delicious than this! ”
The little girl's grape eyes sparkled instantly, "Yeah, yeah, the candied haws my mom makes are the most delicious, the vegetables and meat my mom makes are the most delicious, everything my mom makes is the most delicious!"
Shen Jiao's smile is as beautiful as a flower.
When she first came here, the little girl was a little timid and didn't dare to speak in front of her.
Now the little girl is becoming more and more lively, and her mouth is becoming sweeter and sweeter.
However, the older boy next to him, after eating the sesame cake, held the candied haws in his hand and didn't eat it.
Chen Jiao took the little girl to buy several red hairbands, and also bought a pair of popular white shoes for each of the two little ones.
After buying everything that needed to be bought, Chen Jiao turned to look at the man, "Brother Xu, we have almost finished buying New Year's goods. Shall we go back now?"
Lu Zhengxu looked at Shen Jiao with a pair of dark and deep eyes, and said, "I still have things to buy, Jiaojiao, can you accompany me for another trip?"
Chen Jiao met the man's eyes and always felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes.
But she didn't think much about it. Anyway, the tractor would be back late today and the man had things to buy, so she just went with him.

"Brother Xu, are you talking about buying things here?"
Chen Jiao looked at the Friendship Store in front of her and was somewhat shocked.
Wu Guilan's surprise was written all over her face, "Zhengxu, here... we can't get in!"
Nowadays, not everyone can go into the Friendship Store to shop. Generally, only foreign guests and senior leaders can go in with approval slips.
Lu Zhengxu's deep eyes were filled with a gentle smile, "We can go in, let's go."
Chen Jiao followed the man in and found out that the man had already asked his leader to write a note just to bring them to the Friendship Store to buy things.
There were not as many people in the Friendship Store as in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but there were still quite a few. There were many people standing in front of each counter shopping.
Wu Guilan attended literacy classes and knew some common words and numbers.
At this moment, she looked at the price tags of the goods in the Friendship Store and was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
Outside, she couldn't ask Lu Zhengxu in a hasty manner, so she asked Shen Jiao in a low voice: "Jiaojiao, why are the things here so expensive? Are they inlaid with gold?"
Shen Jiao smiled and said, “Mom, the goods in the Friendship Store are all high-end goods, and many of them are imported goods, so the prices are naturally higher.”
"Oh oh." Wu Guilan responded repeatedly: "Jiaojiao, do you know what Zhengxu is going to buy here?"
Shen Jiao shook her head, "I don't know, he didn't tell me."
Wu Guilan frowned slightly instantly, "This kid came to such a expensive place to buy things, and he didn't inform me as his mother in advance, but why didn't he discuss it with you?"
"Jiaojiao, mom is telling you, from now on, you have to keep an eye on him, especially when it comes to money. As long as he has money, you have to make him give it all to you. Men don't know how to spend money, and I'm worried about him holding the money..."
At this time, Wu Guilan had completely forgotten how heartbroken she was when Chen Jiao went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth.
After all, compared with the one dollar a pair of nail clippers at the Friendship Store, the fabrics from the supply and marketing cooperative are simply too cheap and a great deal.
"Wife, come here and give it a try." Wu Guilan was talking to Chen Jiao when she heard Lu Zhengxu's voice calling from the front.
"Mom, can you also help me take a look at this watch and see if it looks good on your daughter-in-law?"
Chen Jiao and Wu Guilan looked in the direction of Lu Zhengxu and found a silver ladies' watch on the tray in front of him.
It had a thin silver strap and the dial was made of an unknown material, it was very transparent blue and sparkled in the light.
It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.
The salesperson greeted him with a polite smile, "Comrade, can I try it on for you?"
The attitude of the sales clerks at the Friendship Store is completely different from those at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Customers who can go to the Friendship Store to buy things are not ordinary people.
If they make a face, the person they offend may be a big shot whom they cannot afford to offend. Naturally, they dare not keep a stern face all day long like the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Thank you. I'll let my wife try it on." Lu Zhengxu stopped the salesperson from taking the watch.
He picked up the watch and helped Chen Jiao put it on her hand.
