Chen Jiao's skin was originally fair, and when she put on the watch, the pure blue color made her fair skin look even whiter like jade.
Lu Zhengxu raised his eyes and looked at her with deep and affectionate eyes, "Wife, do you like it?"
Before Shen Jiao could speak, Wu Guilan next to her clapped her hands and said excitedly: “This watch is beautiful, buy it for Jiaojiao!”
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded with determination on her face, "It looks good, Mommy, it looks good, Daddy, buy it for Mommy!"
Even Lu Lingyang, who was very frugal with words, said, "This watch suits mom very well."
It would be fine if it were just the two little ones, but I didn’t expect Wu Guilan would encourage the man to buy one for her.
Shen Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, this watch is imported and costs more than two hundred yuan!"
Wu Guilan didn't even think about it and raised her chin and said, "What's wrong with more than 200 yuan? It looks good on you. Let alone more than 200 yuan, even if it's more than 2,000 yuan, Mom would be willing to let Zhengxu buy it for you."
When Chen Jiao heard what Wu Guilan said, she thought about it and realized that although Wu Guilan was stingy with money, most of the time, she only felt sorry when she bought things for her. She would also feel sorry if she bought too much for the children.
But if she bought something for herself, no matter how expensive it was, Wu Guilan never felt the slightest bit sorry.
Chen Jiao looked back at Lu Zhengxu.
After Lu Zhengxu met her eyes, he didn't need her to say anything else. He turned to the salesperson and said, "We'll wear the watch and take it away. Please help us pack the box."
At this time, Chen Jiao saw that there was another watch on the counter that was similar in shape to this one, but much larger.
She pointed to the watch and said, "Comrade, please pack that one for us as well."
Then, she pushed Wu Guilan to the counter and said, "Mom, choose one too. It will be a New Year's gift from your son and daughter-in-law."
Wu Guilan was very angry just now, but now she patted Chen Jiao's hand distressedly, "Nonsense, Mom is so old and doesn't know the time, why wear a watch? Isn't it a joke?"
Chen Jiao knew Wu Guilan's temper and said directly: "Okay, since you don't want to choose for yourself, then I will choose for you."
Chen Jiao's eyes swept across the rows of brand new watches.
Wu Guilan knew that although Chen Jiao looked gentle and easy to talk to, she was actually very stubborn at heart. Once she made a decision, no one could change it.
Chen Jiao said she would give it to her, so she must buy a watch today before she can walk out of here.
Seeing that Chen Jiao was about to point her finger at the most expensive watch, Wu Guilan quickly grabbed Chen Jiao's hand and said, "Jiao Jiao, let Mom choose for herself!"
After Wu Guilan finished speaking, she asked with some concern: "Jiaojiao, we are buying three watches at once, do we have that many tickets?"
When Lu Zhengxu came back, he brought more than 3,000 yuan, and Chen Jiao had received more than 100 yuan in salary in the past few months. She knew that her family could afford to buy a watch.
But buying a watch not only requires money, but also a ticket!
Shen Jiao smiled and said, “Mom, feel free to choose. If I dare to buy it for you, then I will definitely have the ticket in my hand.”
When Wu Guilan heard this, she was not only unhappy, but also a little disappointed.
If Chen Jiao didn't have a ticket, she wouldn't have to buy the watch.
Wu Guilan looked around at the watch counter, comparing again and again, and finally chose the cheapest one.
"Grandma is beautiful!"
As soon as Wu Guilan put the watch on her hand, little Nannan praised it with great enthusiasm.
No one doesn't like gifts, especially gifts from children.
Although Wu Guilan felt sorry for the money and didn't want to buy it just now, now that she was wearing the watch, she was happy to hear her granddaughter's sweet praise, "My little girl has good taste. She said it looks good on grandma, so I wore it!"
Chen Jiao rubbed her little girl's head and said gently, "Today, Dad, Mom, and Grandma are thinking about gifts. Does little girl want a New Year's gift?"
Little Nannan looked up at Chen Jiao, her beautiful big eyes curved into little crescents. The little girl hugged Chen Jiao's thighs and said in a sweet voice, "Nannan doesn't want a gift. Having mom and dad by her side is the best gift for Nannan."
Chen Jiao: ...
Is there honey on the little girl’s mouth?
This moment is full of emotional value.
She felt so soft-hearted that she wished she could just buy the entire Friendship Store for her little girl.
Chen Jiao gently scratched the little girl's nose, "We adults all have gifts, and children should have more gifts! Come on, mom will take you and your brother to buy a pencil case, and buy you some beautiful hairpins."
The hair ties sold outside now have limited styles, either red silk ropes, black rubber bands, or steel clips. However, the Friendship Store has quite a variety of styles.
As soon as Shen Jiao finished speaking, the little girl was about to jump up excitedly, but the calm and self-controlled voice of the older child came from the side, "Mom, you just buy a schoolbag for my sister, I don't need it."
Chen Jiao looked at Haodaer's expressionless face.
At first, she subconsciously thought that it was because she bought hairpins in addition to a schoolbag for the younger daughter, and she bought more for the younger daughter than for the older son, so the older son was jealous, so he said that.
But after seeing Haodaer's clear eyes, she instantly realized that she was narrow-minded.
The eldest son wanted to give his sister all the best things at this time, so how could he be jealous of his sister?
The eldest son was just sensible and wanted to save them some money.
Chen Jiao's face was serious, and she said, "The schoolbag is a New Year's gift for you and your sister, and it is also a must-have item for you to go to school. After the New Year, we will follow Dad to join the army, and you and your sister will go to the Red Education Class. How will you go to school without a schoolbag?"
Lu Lingyang opened his mouth. He originally wanted to ask his grandmother to help him sew a cloth bag, because the children in the village went to school, and the adults in the family used the leftover scraps of cloth to make cloth bags and carried them to school.
But she looked at Chen Jiao's face and knew that her mother would be angry if he said these words.
He didn't want his mother to be angry at all, so he said obediently: "Thank you, Mom."
Chen Jiao patted Haodaer's little head, "Yes. It is our responsibility to provide for you. But when we fulfill our responsibilities, it is also necessary for you to be grateful to us."
She has recently been instilling in her two children the idea of being grateful. She doesn't want to raise her children with great effort only to have them become ungrateful.
Lu Lingyang raised his head, looking at her with a pair of sparkling eyes, and nodded heavily, "Yes, Dad, Mom, Grandma, Yangyang understands."
Little Nannan couldn't wait to say, "Nannan also understands."
