Chapter 156 Why don't you tie yourself to your wife's belt!
By the end of September, Beijing was already quite cool. When Qin Suisui and her group arrived, it was almost 11 o'clock. As soon as they got off the plane, they could clearly feel a slight chill in the air.
Looking at the summer shirt she was wearing, Pei Jiuyan touched her hand and then took off his own clothes and draped them over her shoulders: "Beijing is not like Qiongtan Island. Let's go buy clothes as soon as we get off the plane."
Qin Suisui looked around and quickly took off his clothes and handed them back to him: "This is your uniform, you should put it on quickly, it's not a good look!"
Qin Suisui had originally planned to buy another set of clothes in Beijing to wear temporarily, as it had been very hot since she arrived on Qiongtan Island, and all the clothes she had made were summer clothes. Pei Jiuyan knew that she had also brought summer clothes from home.
She did have some autumn clothes she had worn at home in her space, but she didn't dare to wear them out. Wouldn't that give her away in front of Pei Jiuyan?
When they exited the airport, Pei's mother, Liu Qianyun, was already waiting outside with a military green polyester jacket. Upon seeing Qin Suisui, she quickly pulled her over and touched her hand.
"Ouch! Why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling a bit chilly? Autumn in Beijing is nothing like on Qiongzhou Island. Here, quickly put on your coat!"
Qin Suisui smiled and took the clothes, putting them on with Liu Qianyun's help. They fit perfectly, not too big or too small, clearly indicating that Liu Qianyun had bought them according to her size.
"Hmm! Not bad, not bad! Our Sui Sui is beautiful, has a great figure, and looks good in anything!"
"Luckily, I was prepared. I knew you probably didn't buy any autumn clothes on Qiongtan Island! This comes in handy! Hmm! Looks good!"
As Liu Qianyun helped Qin Suisui tidy her clothes, she earnestly admired her daughter-in-law's "beauty" until Zanzan, who was standing next to her, shouted, "Grandma!"
She then remembered that her eldest grandson was also there, so she quickly squatted down and picked him up in her arms: "Oh dear! I almost forgot about my eldest grandson! Let Grandma see if our Zanzan has grown taller and gained weight!"
Zan Zan was amused by her and kept laughing.
Pei Jiuyan, who hadn't received a single proper look from the beginning, stood awkwardly to the side, touching his nose: "Mom, I'll leave Sui Sui and Zan Zan to you for now. I have work to do today, and I probably won't be back until tonight."
Liu Qianyun didn't even glance at him: "Get out, get out of here! Just take my daughter-in-law and my grandson with you, don't stay here and get in my way!"
Pei Jiuyan: ...
An eyesore?
He probably never even caught his own mother's eye!
Seeing his discomfitured expression, Qin Suisui couldn't help but laugh. Pei Jiuyan gave her a wronged look: "Wife..."
Qin Suisui waved to him, "Go ahead and get busy, we'll wait for you at home."
He had hoped to find comfort in his wife, but instead received two heartless words. Pei Jiuyan felt his heart break. Once back in the capital, his wife wouldn't belong to him alone anymore!
The key issue is that he couldn't even win the bid!
Before leaving, he took out fifty yuan and a few bills from his pocket and handed them to Liu Qianyun: "Mom, Sui Sui doesn't have any autumn clothes. We'll be staying in Beijing for about ten days. Could you please take her to the department store to buy her a couple more outfits so she can change into them?"
Liu Qianyun gave him an annoyed look: "Do you have to tell me that? Mom is much more reliable than you, her husband!"
After saying that, he snatched the money from Pei Jiuyan's hand again: "You still dare to hide money from others? And you've hidden so much? Give it to me!"
She shoved the money into Qin Suisui's hand: "Suisui, take this. Mom is telling you, you have to keep a tight grip on his salary. Don't let a man have too much money; he's prone to going astray!"
Pei Jiuyan: ...
Qin Suisui touched her nose, embarrassed to say that Pei Jiuyan's salary was originally in her hands. This money was probably saved by Pei Jiuyan from his food allowance, or it was "accounts" he collected from Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai, intended as money for her to buy dresses every month...
Seeing the look in his wife's eyes, Pei Jiuyan smiled at her: "Go back with Mom first. Remember to buy clothes. I'll go home tonight and take you back to our wedding room."
After saying that, he turned around and, just as he had practiced thousands of times, narrowly dodged Liu Qianyun's slap. He even ran a few steps faster, and once he was out of Liu Qianyun's "sphere of influence," he waved to Qin Suisui and said, "Wife, I'm leaving!"
Liu Qianyun was so angry that she cursed loudly: "You brat! I'll beat you to death! Sui Sui just got back, and you want to take her back to the bridal chamber. What's wrong with letting her stay and keep us old folks company? Why don't you just tie yourself to your wife's belt!"
Zan Zan, who had been ignored and remained standing still, waved to Pei Jiu Yan, who had run off into the distance, oblivious to everything around her: "Dad! Bye-bye! Come back early tonight!"
Pei Jiuyan had already run far away and didn't hear anything at all!
Liu Qianyun picked up Zanzan and said, "Come on, baby, let's go back to eat. Don't worry about your dad, that idiot!"
Zan Zan was amused by what she said and continued to ask questions: "Grandma, what does 'two hundred and fifty' mean?"
"A fool is an idiot!"
"But Daddy is very smart! And very capable!"
"So he's like a fool, but not really a fool..."
Qin Suisui couldn't help but chuckle at the conversation between the old woman and the child. Although she had only been to Beijing twice, Liu Qianyun always made her feel at ease, as if she were back home.
Back at the family compound, Qin Suisui hurriedly took out the seafood she bought from Medford and the fruit she picked from her space. Liu Qianyun was dumbfounded when she saw the pile of fruit: lychees, bananas, pineapples, passion fruit, and even two large coconuts!
She quickly grabbed Qin Suisui's hand and examined it closely: "My goodness, isn't it heavy carrying all these things? Are your hands red? Let Mom see!"
"Mom thought these were your personal belongings, so I didn't help you carry them. I should have helped you carry them!"
Qin Suisui smiled and patted her: "Mom, it's okay. Ayan carried all these things. We just came back by car. I only carried them for a short distance. It's fine."
After saying that, he took out a packet of tea cakes he had brought back from the Snake Witch Tribe, as well as some teas that the organizers had given him at the Canton Fair, from his luggage bag, which was actually his spatial storage.
"Mom, this is wild mountain tea that I unexpectedly obtained in a Li ethnic village. It tastes extremely refreshing and is especially good at clearing heat and soothing the throat. I heard that autumn in Beijing is very dry, so you and Dad should brew it often."
"These are also gifts from the organizers at the Canton Fair. They gave us a lot, including Yunnan black tea, Pu'er tea, and oolong tea. Try them and see which one you like."
Qin Suisui knew that her mother-in-law and she had one thing in common: they both loved drinking tea.
Sure enough, upon seeing the tea leaves, Liu Qianyun even stopped holding her eldest grandson, picked them up, and smelled them from left to right: "Mmm, good tea! All good tea! Thank you, Sui Sui!"
Qin Suisui smiled and waved her hand, then introduced to her how to eat the seafood.
Liu Qianyun had just cooked fish soup at noon, and upon hearing this, she cut off a piece of crab and threw it into the fish soup on the stove.
Sure enough, within two minutes, a delicious aroma filled the room. Liu Qianyun exclaimed in surprise, "Sui Sui, this thing works really well! I can be a head chef at a state-run restaurant now!"
For lunch, Pei Huoshan brought back pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli from the company cafeteria, along with his own preserved eggs and canned luncheon meat, and fish soup cooked by Liu Qianyun.
Knowing that Qin Suisui and Zanzan were coming, Pei Huoshan specially bought a few bottles of Beibingyang soda, which made Zanzan very happy. This soda tastes better than the orange soda in their town!
After the family finished lunch, Pei Huoshan hugged and kissed his grandson for a while before reluctantly going to work.
Liu Qianyun had been away on business and had saved up a few days of vacation. She didn't have to go to work for the next two days. After the mother and son woke up from their afternoon nap, she took them directly to Wangfujing Department Store.
As Liu Qianyun walked, she explained to Qin Suisui, "Suisui, I was afraid you wouldn't like the style I chose, so I only bought this one. I was thinking we could come back and shop around some more when you arrive."
Qin Suisui quickly replied, "Mom, actually this one is enough. We won't be staying in Beijing for long, and we won't be able to wear it when we go back to Qiongtan Island. Buying so many would be a waste."
Liu Qianyun glared at her: "As long as you can wear it, it's not a waste. Besides, although Qiongtan Island is always hot, it gets cold for a while in January every year, so you should prepare warm clothes in advance! In my opinion, why don't I buy them for you today!"
Qin Suisui blinked. So Qiongtan Island gets cold too! That's great! Then I can make fermented bean curd, dry fish, and make cured meat and sausages!
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at Wangfujing Department Store. It was much larger than the department store in their town, and the variety of goods inside was much more complete. It was dazzling to walk in.
Since buying clothes was the most urgent matter, Liu Qianyun led them directly to the clothing counter on the second floor. There were many ready-made clothes displayed behind the counter, mostly this year's autumn styles, including military uniforms, Zhongshan suits, and work clothes.
Having grown accustomed to the cool summer clothes of Qiongtan Island, Qin Suisui felt a little uncomfortable looking at these thick autumn clothes.
"Sui Sui, that workwear set looks great! You don't even need to coordinate the whole outfit. Look at those wide-legged pants, just roll up the cuffs when you wear them. Mom will also buy you two pairs of white cotton socks later. Wearing these pants with white socks showing your ankles will definitely look good! I've seen all the young girls at my workplace wearing them like this!"
The saleswoman smiled and replied, "Sir, your mother has excellent taste! This style of dressing is the most popular this autumn, and it looks good on everyone!"
Qin Suisui was also somewhat tempted. On the way here, she had seen someone dressed like that, and it did look good.
"Buy it! Buy this set!"
Liu Qianyun could tell from Qin Suisui's expression that she liked it too, so she made the decision right away.
Qin Suisui didn't hesitate and thanked them generously.
Seeing that Liu Qianyun wanted to buy more, Qin Suisui quickly stopped her: "Mom! Don't buy anymore. We're only staying for about ten days. Two sets of clothes are enough! You can buy me new ones next time I go back to Beijing, isn't that the same?"
Liu Qianyun then gave up, muttering to herself, "How about we go to Ruifuxiang and get another set made for you?"
She didn't have a daughter and had always wanted one. Moreover, Qin Suisui was her best friend's child and now her daughter-in-law. Knowing that Qin Suisui had never suffered since childhood and had never lacked good food and clothes, she wanted to buy her all the best things as soon as she saw her.
It's impossible for a young woman who didn't suffer before marriage to suffer after marrying her son, right? She and Pei Jiuyan are truly mother and son; they think alike.
