A look of great surprise flashed across the boy's eyes, and he looked at Hu Chunhua making the egg pancake even more eagerly.
Qi Qiumin and Hu Guangcong watched from the side, disagreeing but not saying anything.
After the omelet was ready, Hu Chunhua rolled it up in paper and gave it to him. "Eat it. If it's not enough, I'll make you another one."
The little boy ate three omelets in a row until there was no more dough left in the bucket.
Seeing that the little boy still wanted to eat, Hu Chunhua was at her wit's end. "I'm out of food here. How about tomorrow? Tomorrow morning, go to the entrance of the textile factory. I'll set up a stall there, and I'll cook for you then."
The little boy nodded, "Thank you."
With that he left.
Several people also packed up their stalls and prepared to go back.
Qi Qiu Ming had a huge sum of money of over one hundred yuan in his hand, and was thinking about buying something for Feng Yun. It just so happened that they were at the door of the department store.
She looked at Hu Chunhua and Hu Guangcong.
"Let's go in and take a look. Chunhua is going to marry Zhou Xiong soon, so we need to buy some things. And Guangcong, you need to buy some new clothes too."
Hu Chunhua and Hu Guangcong looked at each other and shook their heads, "Forget it..."
"I'm not buying it for you." Qi Qiu understood them at once. "Don't you want to buy something for your mother? Have you ever seen her wearing nice clothes in all this time? She works so hard to buy this and that for you, don't you feel bad for her?"
Having said that, how could the two of them say no?
"Then go ahead," Hu Chunhua scratched her face, looking at the stove, "but what should we do with this thing? It will definitely be taken away if we leave it here."
Qi Qiuming ordered decisively, "Guangcong, you stay here and watch over the stall. We'll go."
"good."
It was Hu Chunhua’s first time entering a department store, and she was dazzled by the things inside.
Starting from the entrance, there are shops everywhere, selling clothes and shoes, candies and snacks, stationery and books, wine and canned goods, as well as a special area for large items.
Qi Qiu Ming had come here once in his previous life. Compared with his previous life, there were far fewer things here and the layout was also different.
She took Hu Chunhua to look around and really didn't know how to choose. She gritted her teeth and bought Feng Yun a Dacron plaid shirt for 8.72 yuan, and then picked and chose and bought a pair of Dacron trousers for 11.26 yuan.
When she walked to the shoe area and saw the old Beijing cloth shoes there, she felt around for a long time and chose a pair that was soft and comfortable, spending five yuan and twenty-two cents.
Buying these three items cost me twenty-five dollars and twenty-two cents.
I have already spent a quarter of the hundred dollars I received in compensation today.
Seeing that her grandmother didn't even blink, Hu Chunhua began to reflect on herself.
If her grandmother can treat her mother like this, she will definitely treat her mother better in the future.
"You buy it too. I'll buy you whatever you like."
Qi Qiuming packed his things and turned around to see Chunhua with nothing in her hands. He couldn't help but say to her, "I said I'd buy it for you, so don't think about saving money for me. I tell you, money is earned, not saved."
Hu Chunhua shook her head. "I really don't want to buy anything."
She didn't understand anything about the things needed for a wedding, and her mother would arrange them for her when the time came. As for the things she liked, it seemed that there really wasn't anything there.
Qi Qiumin didn't say anything. He looked at the cloth shoes on Hu Chunhua's feet that were washed white, and immediately squatted down and picked out a pair of bright red ones for her.
"Try it on."
Hu Chunhua was shocked. "Grandma, there's really no need."
"Just try it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?"
Hu Chunhua could only wear cloth shoes carefully, for fear that they would get dirty and she would have to ask them to buy new ones.
The cloth shoes are made of comfortable material, are the right size, and are comfortable to wear, but the color is not suitable.
"Nana, this bright red..."
"That's right," Qi Qiuming thought for a moment, "Red isn't good, so let's go with black. Black Baita shoes can also be worn as wedding shoes."
"No need for milk--" Before Hu Chunhua could finish her words, Qi Qiumin paid directly.
Hu Chunhua was a little dazed.
After her mother changed, her grandmother also changed completely. She always had a feeling that it was unreal.
Walking to the food area, Qi Qiumin bought another pound of chestnut cake.
"Hey, the eggs here seem to be one cent cheaper than at the supply and marketing cooperative." Hu Chunhua pointed at the eggs not far away and said, "How about we buy some here?"
Nowadays, eggs are consumed in large quantities, with more than twenty eggs used up in the morning. In the past, the eggs collected in the village would be used up in just a few days.
Qi Qiuming thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, the ones we have at home can still last for a couple of days. We'll buy more when the time comes. The weather is hot, and they'll go bad if left for too long."
"Too."
"We need to buy some paper," Qi Qiuming said. "We're almost out of the white paper for rolling pancakes. I'm afraid there won't be enough for tomorrow."
The two of them went back to buy some white paper and then came out.
Hu Guangcong was waiting outside.
Not long after, a large truck drove over.
Several people got off the car and kept moving things downstairs. He watched helplessly as someone inside took out small items and stuffed them into his pocket while moving things, his eyes almost popping out.
Is this stealing?
But that’s not important. What’s important is that his eyes were shining as he looked at the big truck.
A truck like this would be really cool to drive, if only he could drive.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Qiu Ming brought Hu Chunhua out and saw that Hu Guangcong was almost drooling, so he couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
"Oh, grandma, you're back. What did you buy?"
Qi Qiumin followed Hu Guangcong's previous gaze and saw a large truck, then he understood Hu Guangcong's preference.
"Not everyone can drive this big truck."
Hu Guangcong chuckled, "I know. Let's go back quickly. I'm going to be starving if it's any later."
In the afternoon, no one went out. Those who needed to rest rested, while Hu Chunhua took the time to read Xu's summary. However, Hu Guangcong was still thinking about selling rice and side dishes, so he went out to run around again.
Feng Yun was carried back.
Hu Guangcai was sweating profusely along the way, but Feng Yun didn't feel sorry at all. Even though Guangcai's back was wet, the smell of sweat penetrated into her nostrils and made her feel uncomfortable.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Hu Chunhua heard the voice and came out. Seeing Feng Yun getting off Hu Guangcai's back, her face turned pale with fear. "Mom, are you okay?"
Feng Yun waved his hand, "It's okay."
Hu Guangcai carried the person all the way and collapsed in a chair as soon as he got home. But in a moment, he saw Feng Yun walking around nimbly and immediately realized that he had been fooled by his mother.
"Mom, you are pretending." He felt like the sky was falling. He worked so hard worrying about his mother getting into trouble, and yet she just lied to him like that.
He carried it all the way and was so tired that he almost passed out.
"What's wrong with pretending? Can't you just carry me?" Feng Yun said confidently, "Don't you want to be a soldier? With your endurance, you might as well admit that you can't do it and quit as soon as possible."
