Chapter 177: Big Shopping
Zhao Dalong smiled and responded, "Comrade, give me some good quality candies and some snacks suitable for the elderly."
The salesperson quickly agreed and went to choose from the shelves.
Lin Jianyan picked out some daily necessities such as towels, washbasins, and toothbrushes. They didn't bring anything when they came, but if they wanted to stay here now, these things were essential.
Since the three children entered the store, they followed him quietly without saying a word. Zhao Dalong turned his head to look at them.
There was curiosity in their eyes, but they were sensible and didn't ask for anything.
Although Zhao Goudan and Zhao Cuicui were young, they did not make any noise. They just followed Zhao Dalong closely and obediently.
Zhao Dalong bent down distressedly and asked, "Is there anything you want? You finally came here, don't you want to buy something?"
Zhao Fengjuan shook her head quickly, "Brother, we don't need anything, we just need to take a look, you must not waste money on us."
Zhao Cuicui and Goudan held his hands tightly, and although they looked at the things next to them with some desire, they also shook their heads.
Lin Jinyan finished her shopping and walked over. "Don't ask. They just don't want it. I see there are some toys and school supplies. Let's go over there and take a look."
Zhao Dalong nodded and led the children to the toys and school supplies area. As soon as they arrived, the children's eyes were immediately attracted by the colorful objects.
Zhao Cuicui's eyes were fixed on a pink plush bear, full of love, while Zhao Goudan stared at a tin toy car, unable to move his feet.
Zhao Dalong smiled and picked up the teddy bear and handed it to Zhao Cuicui, "Take it if you like it. Why be polite to your uncle?" He then stuffed the toy car into Zhao Goudan's hand.
The two of them touched it in surprise at first, then put it back where it was, and forced themselves to look away.
"Uncle, Cuicui doesn't want it anymore. Cuicui just needs to touch it."
"Uncle, this is too expensive. Let's just take a look at it."
Their voices were full of childishness, but Zhao Dalong felt sad. He picked up the toys again and stuffed them into their arms, pretending to be angry and said, "Uncle has money and can afford it. If you don't want it, your uncle will be unhappy."
The two little adults then held the toy tightly in their arms and touched it again and again lovingly.
Zhao Dalong saw it and laughed secretly: What child doesn't like toys? It is sensible to suppress one's desire under limited conditions. But if one still suppresses oneself even though the conditions are met, then he is an incompetent uncle.
Zhao Fengjuan stood aside, looking at the books on the bookshelf, a little hesitant. Lin Jinyan walked over and followed her gaze, and saw a new copy of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales".
He took the book and handed it to Zhao Fengjuan, "It's a good thing to like reading. Take it."
Zhao Fengjuan took it with a blushing face and whispered, "Thank you, brother."
Perhaps the shopping desire was aroused in Zhao Dalong, and he bought a lot of things, including stationery, school bags, clothes, hairbands, snacks and cakes.
Zhao Fengjuan's hands were stuffed with things, and even the two younger ones had a few lighter things in their hands. They were a little scared when they saw Zhao Dalong like this.
My brother/uncle is not going to rob everyone, right?
Lin Jianyan couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped Zhao Dalong, "Okay, okay, there are enough things. If there are more, the trunk won't be able to hold them. Let's leave it at that for today. If there's anything missing, come back tomorrow."
Zhao Dalong smacked his lips with a hint of unsatisfied satisfaction, then stopped when he saw that everyone had quite a lot of things in their hands.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhao Dalong said this, and left the supply and marketing cooperative with the children and Lin Jianyan, feeling satisfied. They put the things in the trunk, which was filled to the brim.
The three children sat in the back, holding the things they wanted, happy and scared. They were happy because they had the things they had longed for, but they were scared because they bought so many things and their mother would be angry. Would they be beaten?
Zhao Dalong saw it through the rearview mirror and smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, these are all bought by your uncle. In the future, as long as your uncle is here, we can buy whatever you want."
Afraid that he would buy a bunch of things like he did today, the three children were so scared that they shook their heads.
"Uncle, we don't want it anymore. We have enough stuff."
"Uncle, you bought so many things today. Grandma will be angry when you get home."
"My dear, Mom is actually very kind-hearted. If she wants to hit you later, just apologize and she won't have the heart to do it."
Lin Jianyan and Zhao Dalong were amused by their childish words.
Lin Jianyan said jokingly with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, your Uncle Dalong is rich, let alone these little things, he can even rent the whole store for you guys."
The two boys couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when they heard this, and looked at Zhao Dalong with admiration: "Really, uncle?"
Zhao Dalong smiled proudly, "Of course, from now on, whatever Goudan and Cuicui want, uncle can buy them, and we don't have to envy others anymore."
As he said this, he looked at Zhao Fengjuan in the mirror again, "When our Juaner finds a date in the future, I will give you a grand wedding, so that others will be jealous of you."
Zhao Fengjuan pursed her lips shyly, "Brother, what are you talking about? I'm just a kid, it's too early for this, I just want to study hard now."
Zhao Dalong quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, school is more important, we shouldn't talk about dating so early."
Because the road was difficult to drive on and there were children in the car, they didn't drive very fast. When they got home, they could smell the aroma of meat from a long distance away.
The taste is rich and tangy, and in this small village where people only eat meat during the New Year and other festivals, it makes people drool.
Zhao Goudan shouted excitedly: "Wow, it must be grandma who cooked meat!" Zhao Cuicui also cheered, her saliva almost flowing out.
As soon as the car stopped, the children couldn't wait to jump out and rush into the house.
"Grandma, we're back!" the two children shouted in unison.
Mother Zhao held the bowl in her hand and replied with a smile: "Glad you're back, wash your hands and eat."
When they saw Lin Jianyan and Zhao Dalong holding bags piled up in their hands, they almost covered most of their bodies.
She was so scared that her hands were shaking and the bowl almost slipped. "Oh my God, are you two robbing? Why did you buy so many things? How much will it cost?"
"Mom, don't worry about the money. It's a rare opportunity to come back, so I just wanted to buy you something. Besides, the prices here are much cheaper than in Hong Kong, so it didn't cost much to buy so many things."
"Hurry, hurry, Mom. My hands are getting sore. Quickly open the curtain and let us put the things into the house." Zhao Dalong urged.
Zhao's mother quickly reached out and lifted the curtain of the main room door. Zhao Dalong and Lin Jianyan stepped into the room and piled the bags on the table.
In the main room, there were several men sitting next to Zhao's father, and they were frightened when they saw their posture.
Father Zhao quickly put out the cheap cigarette in his hand and said, "Dalong, why did you buy so many things?"
