Xie Guoqiang found an excuse to go to the bathroom and bought clothes for Su Xiaomei directly.
When Su Xiaomei saw Xie Guoqiang coming back with the clothes, she was shocked and angry: "Why did you buy the clothes directly? I didn't say I wanted to buy them! Take them back and return them while we are still here."
Twenty yuan was equivalent to half a month's salary for her. It was too expensive for her and she really couldn't bear to spend it.
"No, the salesperson said no returns," Xie Guoqiang said quickly, "Wife, I know you like this dress very much. As long as you like it, the twenty yuan is worth it!"
"But it's still too expensive! Why do I need to wear such expensive clothes?" Su Xiaomei said anxiously, and turned around to find the store to see if she could return the clothes.
Xie Guoqiang didn't want to retreat and looked to Lin Xiangyi for help.
"Xiao Mei, why don't you not return it? Twenty yuan is a bit expensive, but I don't buy it often," Lin Xiangyi said, "Besides, this is a gift from Guoqiang. It's a token of his love. If you return it, won't it hurt his feelings?"
"This..." Su Xiaomei was embarrassed.
Xie Guoqiang: "Yes, wife, I haven't given you any gifts yet. This is the first gift I give you..."
"Guoqiang earns a lot now, and he can definitely afford twenty yuan. Xiaomei, you don't have to save money for him. Just buy what you need. If he needs money, let Guoqiang find a way to earn it," Xie Qingxiao said calmly.
"...Yes," Xie Guoqiang said with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law bought so many clothes, but I only bought one for you. Wife, don't refuse. When I make more money in the future, I will let you buy whatever you want like sister-in-law!"
Xie Qingxiao glanced at Xie Guoqiang and said, "You are quite aware of this!"
Xie Qingxiao was deeply aware of this.
He who spoils his wife will never make any money, but he who loves his wife will be rich and prosperous. Before Lin Xiangyi married him, he was a second-rate person who was despised by others.
After Lin Xiangyi married him, he wanted to give her a better life, and his career slowly took off.
Lin Xiangyi glared at Xie Qingxiao, took Su Xiaomei's hand and said, "We have children, so it's only natural for men to earn more money to support the family. What's more, we also earn money. You work so hard and still work to earn money while pregnant. Isn't it right for you to buy yourself a piece of clothing you like? It's not like you can't afford it, so there's no need to feel guilty!"
"Okay, I won't retreat," Su Xiaomei was finally convinced.
The few people walked around for a while, bought a lot of things, and returned home with a lot of things.
After returning to the county town, Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei went back first, and Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi returned to the village after finishing their work in the store.
Xie's mother was preparing to cook. When she saw them coming back, she came out to greet them. She saw that they were carrying a lot of bags and asked, "Did you buy so many things?"
"Yes, there are all kinds of food and daily necessities. I also bought clothes for you and dad," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, and went to the main hall and couldn't wait to take out the clothes she bought for Xie's father and mother:
"This is a cotton-padded jacket. The weather is not very cold now, so you can wear it later. I heard the salesperson say that this warm jacket is equivalent to two sweaters. I don't know if it's true, but I tried it and it is really warm. I bought one each for you and dad..." blah blah.
Lin Xiangyi had said before that she would go to the city to buy clothes for Xie's father and mother. She has always been a person who keeps her word, and Xie's mother knew that she would definitely buy them.
But when Lin Xiangyi took out the clothes one by one, she found that Lin Xiangyi bought more clothes for her and Xie's father than for her and Xie Qingxiao.
"Xiangyi, why did you buy so many clothes for me and your father? We can't wear them all. You should buy some for yourselves," said Xie's mother.
Lin Xiangyi knew exactly how many clothes Xie's father and mother had. There were only a few pieces, and most of them had been worn for several years and had many patches on them.
Of course, this is common in this day and age.
She said, "It's not many. Qingxiao and I will buy more later. You don't have to worry about us. We won't treat ourselves badly."
Xie’s mother: “…” These two people are indeed not the kind of people who would treat themselves unfairly.
"But you really don't have to buy so many clothes for me and your father."
Xie Qingxiao put away his bicycle, sorted out the things that Lin Xiangyi had put on the ground, and glanced at his mother: "It's already been bought, and it can't be returned." What he meant was that if you buy it, you should wear it, no need to haggle.
Mother Xie understood the implication of Xie Qingxiao's words, glared at him unhappily, and said helplessly:
"Okay, then your father and I will accept it, but you can't buy so many in the future. We really can't wear so many. We are all old, what's the point of wearing such nice clothes? It's better for you young people to wear them, especially you, Xiangyi. You are good-looking, so you should dress up more."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile. Whether to buy it next time is a matter for next time.
"By the way, how was your prenatal checkup today?" Xie's mother asked hurriedly, "Everything is fine, right?"
When Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi came back, there was no strange expression on their faces, so Xie's mother knew that there would be no problem, but she still wanted to confirm it.
Lin Xiangyi immediately laughed: "No problem, but there is good news."
Xie's mother was immediately curious: "What's the good news?"
Lin Xiangyi glanced at Xie Qingxiao, and Xie Qingxiao looked at his mother: "Your daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins!"
"What?" Mother Xie was overjoyed. She glanced at Lin Xiangyi's belly and then looked at Lin Xiangyi: "Really? Really twins?"
"Yeah," Lin Xiangyi nodded with a smile.
"Great!" Xie's mother was overjoyed. Xie's father came back with a bucket of water. He had just gone to the field to water the vegetables. Xie's mother called him, "My dear!"
"What's up? Have you cooked? I'm hungry. A-Xiao, are you guys back?" Father Xie wiped the sweat off his forehead with the towel on his shoulders, walked over with a smile and asked, "How's it going? I went for a checkup today. Did everything go well?"
"It went smoothly, everything went well! It also turned out that Xiangyi is pregnant with twins!" Mother Xie couldn't wait to share it with Father Xie.
"What?" Xie's father was overjoyed: "Really? Really twins?"
"It's true, the doctor said so himself," Lin Xiangyi replied with a smile.
"Good! Good! Good!" Father Xie said several good words in a row. His face, which was full of traces of time, relaxed, enough to see how happy he was.
Although Mr. and Mother Xie do not favor sons over daughters, they still believe that having more children means more blessings.
At present, Xiaoni is the only young person in the family, and Xie's parents still feel a little regretful.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiangyi is now pregnant with twins. How could they not be overjoyed?
They treated Lin Xiangyi like a fragile object. When Xie's mother went to cook, Lin Xiangyi wanted to help, but Xie's mother wouldn't let her go:
"You must be tired after going out all day today, so take a good rest. Although my cooking skills are not as good as yours, I have learned from you in the past few months. Now the food I cook is much more delicious than before!"
She was very proud of herself.
