Xu Wanning smiled when she heard that. That was too much. The fabric was cheap and free of charge. She must buy a few more pieces!
When the time comes, I will make a new set of clothes for Xu's mother and father.
"Big sister, thank you so much today."
"This is actually my first time buying fabric!"
She turned around and quickly joined the crowded crowd, picking and choosing, and finally only picked four pieces of cloth.
One piece is bright red, and I plan to take it back to Aunt Wang's family for her wedding.
There were still two pieces of red cloth, which he planned to make a set of clothes for himself and Xu's mother respectively, and the remaining piece of blue cloth was enough to make a set of clothes for Xu's father.
She went to the grocery store and bought seven or eight bags of cakes, two or three pounds of White Rabbit candy, and some toiletries. She left half of the cakes for Xu's father and mother, and took the rest away.
Finally, he left the department store with a lot of bags and went to the black market to buy two lively grass carps.
Mr. Xu loves fish the most, so she plans to try making a new dish in the evening, a pot of spicy and fragrant fish fillets to serve to Mr. Xu while he is drinking.
On the way home, Xu Wanning remembered that she had brought back wild ginseng and wild Ganoderma lucidum and had not eaten them yet.
He took out two more chickens from the space, intending to go back and stew a pot of wild ginseng chicken soup to nourish Xu's father and mother.
Outside the steel plant’s staff quarters, Xu’s mother saw her daughter riding a bicycle from a distance.
She came back with lots of bags, two live fish and two live chickens, and she was becoming less and less gentle and delicate as before.
Instead, she acts as carefree as a boy, but it's okay this way, as it saves her from being bullied outside.
"Ningning, why did you buy so much fish and chicken today?"
"Can we eat all this?"
Xu Wanning smiled when she heard this and explained patiently:
"Mom, it's okay. After we finish eating, this chicken will be used to make soup."
"The fish is for making boiled fish fillets, which our family will have for dinner tonight."
"Mom, I've been back for a week now. I'm going back to North City the day after tomorrow. The next time I come back will be during the Chinese New Year."
Upon hearing this, Xu's mother felt a little reluctant and stared at Xu Wanning, her eyes slowly becoming moist. She really couldn't bear to see her daughter go, as Ningning had never left home since she was a child.
If it weren't for the incident at the steel plant some time ago, she and Lao Xu would never have been willing to send their daughter to the countryside.
"Ningning, are you leaving so soon? Can't you stay a few more days?"
"Once you go to the countryside, I don't know if you will be able to come back in the future."
When Xu Wanning saw that Xu's mother was about to cry, she panicked and didn't know how to comfort her.
She knew that Xu's mother was worried about the educated youth who had gone to the countryside. They didn't know whether they would be able to return to the city in the future. If they couldn't return, they might have to settle down in the countryside.
"Mom, don't be sad. I'll come back to see you next time."
"I will definitely be back. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
After returning home, Xu's mother was still in a complicated mood. Her daughter was already eighteen years old and would be getting married in two years.
If I marry to Beicheng, I won’t be able to come back, and it will be difficult to see her in the future.
"Ningning, you're grown up now. Your parents are open-minded people. If you meet a boy you like, don't rush into marriage. You can date him for two years first and then consider marriage."
