Zhang Tiantian smiled and said, "Ranran, Director Liu has had a hard time. It's also difficult to have a mother like that. Seeing his helpless expression, I want to laugh. Hahaha, actually, Grandma Liu is quite funny."
Gu Ranran replied as she walked, "That's right, Director Liu, for his mother he's either apologizing or on his way to apologize.
Director Liu's mother was a well-known scoundrel in our compound. Fortunately, Director Liu was a good person, and many people, for her sake, didn't give her any serious consideration.
But Grandma Liu is never satisfied. She has nothing to do every day and always takes advantage of others and stirs up trouble. Grandma Liu can be seen everywhere in our compound. She is involved in every quarrel and fight.
After hearing this, Zhang Tiantian started gossiping.
"Hahaha, Ranran, I've only seen naughty kids before, but I've never seen a mother bear, especially one who's over 60 years old."
Seeing that Zhang Tiantian was so interested, Gu Ranran continued to tell Zhang Tiantian about Grandma Liu and Director Liu.
"It wasn't easy for Grandma Liu, either. Director Liu's father passed away early, and she was the one who raised Director Liu and his brother.
By earning work points, they were able to send both children to school. Director Liu's brother also had a job at the steel plant in their commune.
Director Liu and his brother spoiled Grandma Liu when they grew up, which is how Grandma Liu developed this temper. She used to just like taking advantage of others, but gradually she became more and more extreme.
What Grandma Liu fears most is going back to her hometown to live with Director Liu’s brother, and also going to jail and having to endure jail time.
Grandma Liu's eldest son spoiled her, but her eldest daughter-in-law did not. Once, Grandma Liu secretly caught a chicken from a neighbor's house and brought it back to stew for her precious grandson.
Someone came to her house because their chickens were lost, and Grandma Liu's eldest daughter-in-law immediately sent her to the police station, where she spent three days in jail.
Zhang Tiantian couldn't help but sigh, "Evil men have their own evil ways. No wonder Grandma Liu was so quiet when Director Liu said he was going to send her back home. But when you said you were going to send her to the police station, she started screaming and wailing."
As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the department store. Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran rushed directly to the second floor, followed by Lu Jiang and Lu Hai.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran first bought a black coat each, and also bought 20 kilograms of wool, 30 kilograms of cotton, and some nice-looking cloth.
When buying military coats, I bought 8 of them, one for each of the four of them, and one each for Gu's father and mother, the team leader, and Zhang's mother.
Zhang Tiantian bought a patterned cotton coat for Zhang's mother. Gu Ranran thought it looked nice, so she also bought one for Gu's mother and a cotton coat for Gu Zili as well.
Looking at Lu Hai and Lu Jiang holding clothes, Zhang Tiantian asked.
"Brother Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, have you two seen anything you like? If we see something we like, we'll buy it."
Lu Jiang looked at his hands full of clothes, and then looked at the clothes in the store.
"Tiantian, I only need a military coat. The clothes sold here aren't as pretty as the ones you make. Didn't you buy the cloth and cotton? Can you help me make cotton-padded clothes in the future?"
Zhang Tiantian was very happy to be praised.
"Brother Lu Jiang, it's not that cold now, I'll knit you a sweater first. When it gets colder, I'll make you a cotton-padded jacket."
Gu Ranran looked at the two people who were being affectionate with each other and asked Lu Hai.
"Ahai, did you see anything you like? Tell me and I'll buy it for you."
Lu Hai looked at Lu Jiang and said.
"Ranran, I want you to make it for me too. Ranran, it's getting late. My brother and I will take the clothes back, and you and sister-in-law can continue shopping. We'll go back to cook and wait for you, okay?"
Gu Ranran looked at her watch and it was indeed getting late.
"Ah Hai, you and your brother take the things you bought back first. Tiantian and I have almost finished shopping, so we'll go buy some roast duck to eat. We can also buy two to bring back for the captain and aunt to taste."
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai took the things they bought and went back, while Gu Ranran and Zhang Tiantian went to buy roast duck.
"Ranran, let's buy a few more. I've heard that the roast duck in Jing City is very authentic and delicious."
Looking at the greedy Zhang Tiantian, Gu Ranran agreed.
"Tiantian, let's buy six. We can eat two for lunch, two for dinner, and two to take home."
Zhang Tiantian calculated and thought it was just right. When Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran came back from buying roast duck, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai had already prepared the meal.
Gu Zili and his mother came back. Gu Zili put on his new cotton-padded jacket and ran around.
Gu Ran couldn't let go of the military coat and patterned cotton-padded jacket, but still felt that they were too expensive.
"Ranran, why did you buy so many clothes again? We haven't even worn the clothes you made for us yet. It's a bit of a waste to have so many clothes."
Gu Ranran saw her father holding a military coat and nodding along with her mother, so she hurried to explain.
"Mom and Dad, these clothes aren't for you to wear now. They're for when the weather gets colder. It's not easy for me to come back once, so I bought them for you in advance."
I know you won't be willing to buy them when the weather gets cold, so I've arranged it for you in advance. Besides, it'll be very cold by the time I get married. It's just right for you to wear them to my banquet."
Zhang Tiantian also came over to interrupt.
"Uncle, aunt, just take what you need and don't worry about anything else. The four of us are all salaried people, so we have enough money.
When the weather gets cold, you can take it out and wear it. Ranran is far away from you, so you take good care of yourselves, and Ranran will feel at ease.
I also bought some for my parents. We all know that you only buy clothes for us and you wouldn’t buy any for yourselves.
Now that we've grown up, we can buy clothes for you. If we buy them for you, you can wear them with confidence. This is also our way of showing our filial piety to you."
Lu Hai also continued, "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, we bought some too, one for each of you. Come and eat, the food is already served."
The roast duck in Jingshi was indeed delicious, and the two roast ducks were finished cleanly.
After dinner, Gu's father and mother went to work, and Gu Zili also went to school.
Gu Ranran, Zhang Tiantian, Lu Jiang, and Lu Hai continued shopping. While they were shopping, they went on a date to the movies.
This time, Lu Hai and Gu Ranran, Lu Jiang and Zhang Tiantian watched movies separately and did not choose to watch a movie together.
Because Lu Hai had seen Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, he insisted on dragging Gu Ranran to watch it again.
"Ranran, when we went to see Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy together, we weren't dating yet. Now we're an engaged couple, so we have to go see it again."
Gu Ranran was a little confused, but looking at the excited Lu Hai, she agreed.
Many of the people who came to watch Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy were couples. When Lu Hai saw others holding hands, he quickly held Gu Ranran's hand.
Not to mention in this conservative era, secretly holding hands while watching a movie can feel like being in love.
