Chapter 173 The little guy loves to show off
The embarrassed children went home and said they were not clean, but they were curious and wanted to see how white Lin Xia's teeth were.
Lin Xia could still ignore the scrutinizing looks, but the curious looks in front of her made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Xiao Xia, you are out today too?" Yang Hongmei's voice came from behind.
Lin Xia looked back and saw Yang Hongmei, Zhao Xianglan and others, so she waited for them.
"Yes, school is about to start in a few days, and I brought my child here to buy some school supplies."
When talking about the children's schooling, several sisters-in-law had a look of relief on their faces. The family was in chaos every day during the summer vacation.
"School is finally about to start. If it doesn't start now, my ears will explode." A sister-in-law sighed, and her tone sounded like she was about to be liberated.
Others chimed in, “Yeah, yeah.”
Lin Xia found it a little funny to see parents who couldn't wait for school to start and send their children to school. It seemed that parents of all ages had the same feeling.
"Xiao Xia, your teeth are so white." Someone came up to Lin Xia to see and found that it was indeed true.
Seeing that her child was there yesterday, Lin Xia guessed that the child must have talked about it after returning home. She smiled and her white teeth were exposed again. Others also noticed it and looked at the other people around them.
Then they realized that no one else had teeth as white as hers. Everyone started to smile unnaturally and didn't dare to open their mouths.
"When you brush your teeth, dip them in some salt once every few days and your teeth will become white over time." Lin Xia stated the method directly. In fact, salt does not play such a big role. It can only improve the surface environment and disinfect the oral cavity, so it is still beneficial.
After hearing this, everyone thought about trying it when they got home, and they had to force the men in the family to use it together. They had not paid much attention to this aspect in the past, but after their child talked about it yesterday, they realized that it was indeed unhygienic.
When they arrived at the vegetable market, Lin Xia and Wang Guilan separated. She wanted to take the children to the bookstore, while the other sisters-in-law went to the supply and marketing cooperative first because they had to buy toothbrushes for the noisy children at home.
When they arrived at the bookstore, Lin Xia let the little one choose the picture books by himself. She also wanted to buy some other books. She had already read most of the books the family had bought in her spare time.
When it was time to pay, Lin Xia asked for some pens and notebooks. The bookstore owner looked at her and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Lin Xia blinked as if she was moved, but did not ask any questions.
Seeing how calm she was, the boss looked around and asked softly, "I have some books here. I wonder if you want them. If not, I'll probably treat them as junk."
There was a hint of regret in his tone. The situation outside was getting worse and worse, and this bookstore might not be open for much longer.
Lin Xia's heart was beating fast. She had a hunch that these books were probably not ordinary. She asked softly, "Can I take a look?"
The boss seemed a little hesitant, but those books definitely couldn't be left behind, otherwise it would definitely be a big trouble.
He had noticed this woman the last time she came. She was pretty, but the main thing was that there weren't many people willing to read these days. Even students had no interest in reading, let alone those willing to spend money to buy books.
Thinking of the nearby military area, the bookstore owner had a vague idea of something, but the urgent situation did not allow him to think too much. Even though he replaced most of the books on the bookshelf, it still attracted some people's attention.
Now that he has to close the store, he feels sad at the thought of not being able to keep those books, but he can't bear to sell them to a rag collector. He wants to find someone who likes books so that he can preserve them.
The boss turned around and went to the back, took out two books, and seeing that no one was outside, he handed them to Lin Xia under one of the books.
Lin Xia also carefully moved the books on top and looked at them carefully. One was a translated literary book, and the other was an ancient book. In Lin Xia's opinion, they were not banned books, but in this era of destroying the four olds, they were not things that could exist openly.
Thinking that these books would be burned if they were discovered, Lin Xia felt very reluctant.
These are all Chinese culture. Although there are a lot of dross in it, there are also a lot of essences.
Lin Xia raised her eyes and looked at the boss and said, "I bought it. Do you have any more?"
"There are quite a few. Will it have any impact on you?" The boss was a little hesitant, afraid that he would implicate her.
Lin Xia pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "If there are too many, I can't take them all at once. How about selling me a few first?"
Seeing that she didn't hesitate, the boss thought that she should keep as many books as possible.
Lin Xia thought about it and asked for a few literary books and a few ancient books.
She put the books one by one into the canvas bag on her body. From the shape, she could tell that they were books. Lin Xia turned her head to take a look and took a few books from the shelf.
The little one's drawings and notebooks were placed in her own schoolbag. After paying the bill, she walked out calmly. No one came up to talk to her along the way. Lin Xia took the little one straight home.
When she got home, Wang Guilan had not returned yet. Lin Xia put the red book she took from the bookshelf downstairs, carried the other books upstairs to the bedroom, and after thinking for a while, she put them in the cabinet first.
Generally, no outsiders would come upstairs, so Lin Xia felt much more at ease. The little guy was reading the newly bought picture books, and Lin Xia was sitting on the side flipping through the red books.
Not long after, Wang Guilan came back after buying vegetables, and then went to do other work. Lin Xia had to say that she felt much more relaxed since she hired Wang Guilan.
No longer having to worry about hygiene at home and the vegetable garden, Lin Xia only had to clean upstairs and tidy up other things. As she was sighing, she heard a shout outside the door.
"Is Comrade Lin Xia here?" a male voice came, and Lin Xia got up to open the door.
It was a postman in green military uniform. He handed over two packages and a letter. The package was so big that Lin Xia couldn't carry it. After she signed for it, the postman helped her move it into the house.
I just looked at the receipt form, and they were all from Beijing. Lin Xia guessed that they must have been sent by the Lin family and grandma. There were still people at home, so she was not in a hurry to open it.
Lin Xia first opened the separate envelope. The texture was thick from the outside, so she knew what was going on. She opened it and saw that it was a photo of the family of three taken when they went to the county town last time. Although it was in black and white, it did not affect the family's appearance at all.
"An An, come and see." Lin Xia sat on the sofa and looked at the photo. From the photo, one could see that the man was handsome, but because it was in black and white, one could not tell whether he was dark-skinned or not.
The little guy is very cute, especially the solo photos directed by Lin Xia. Sometimes he makes the scissors hand gesture, sometimes he makes cute rabbit gestures, and his various poses are so cute that they touched her heart.
The little guy looked at himself in the photo and looked at Lin Xia excitedly: "Mom, look, this is me."
"Yes, it's you."
The little guy held the photo in his hand and ran to Wang Guilan with his short legs, "Auntie, look at me."
The little boy held up the photo in his little hand, excitedly wanting to show others what he looked like.
