When they got on the train again, the three of them were no longer as relaxed and leisurely as when they came.
There were really too many things. Chen Chunhua complained that Lin Guoqing wanted to buy this and that, but when she stood in the mall, if they didn't need tickets, she really wanted to carry the washing machine and refrigerator onto the train.
Even so, there were so many things, and the money I brought was almost all spent. In the end, I was not as restrained as Liu Ni.
Liu Ni counted the number of people as she shopped. She bought a bag of milk powder and a bag of talcum powder for her older sister. There was also a baby stroller for sale in the mall, which she envied but didn't buy, partly because it was expensive and partly because it was a bit too big.
Lin Guoqing squatted there with her and studied it for a long time. He thought that if he went home and asked Sun Defa for help, he should be able to make something similar.
The third and fourth sisters each bought a pair of leather shoes. She had originally wanted to buy a blanket, having heard that newlyweds in Shanghai often received one as a dowry. A Phoenix brand wool blanket cost fifty-six yuan, more than a worker's monthly salary. She was about to grit her teeth and ask her aunt for money to bring back two more.
It turned out to be impossible to buy. It's said that these hot-selling items are sold out as soon as they're put on the counter. What do you think those people waiting at the mall entrance early in the morning are doing? Isn't it to grab these kinds of products?
Liu Ni gave up, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, she picked out two pairs of leather shoes for her two sisters who were preparing to get married.
At Wu Ni's place, Liu Ni bought her a pen and a bottle of ink, Qi Ni a little skirt, Ba Ni a box of marbles and checkers, and Jiu Ni a White Rabbit milk candy, which Jiu Ni had pestered her to ask for before she came.
This candy used to require tickets to buy, but now it doesn’t have to be. Liu Ni generously weighed a whole kilogram and took it home.
She also hadn't forgotten Lin Yulan and Ma Dexiang. Lin Yulan had a box of vanishing cream and a bar of soap, while Ma Dexiang had a three-yuan bottle of Yanghe Daqu. Their things were inexpensive, even a little perfunctory. There was no way around it; in Liu Ni's heart, they were definitely ranked behind her sisters.
As for grandpa and grandma, Liu Ni went to the nearest vegetable market and bought a large piece of pork before going to the train station. She will make a braised pork dish tomorrow as a gift for grandpa and grandma, and everyone can have a piece.
Hehehe, she is really a little genius.
In fact, Liu Ni has a lot of things, but they are not big and do not take up much space. However, it is not the same for Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua. They cannot even find a place to sit where they are sitting now.
There are four desk lamps neatly placed under the small table, and a large cardboard box of an electric fan is stuffed on the shelf above.
Let Chen Chunhua say that Lin Guoqing is a poisonous person. She had urged him several times to go to the city or county to buy desk lamps for the children, but he didn't remember it. As a result, when he arrived in Shanghai, he remembered everything and insisted that the quality of desk lamps in Shanghai was better than theirs?
Chen Chunhua was speechless.
They bought the old-fashioned desk lamp with a green glass cover. Lin Guoqing said that this kind of desk lamp is best for reading, so they were very careful when moving it up and down, for fear that it would break accidentally.
Lin Guoqing was also speechless. Who was this woman who kept saying that money was expensive and shouldn't be wasted? And who was it that insisted on buying him a Dacron shirt that cost 11.8 yuan and a Zhongshan suit that cost over 30 yuan!
It's almost summer, who still wears a Mao suit? And at this price! At this price, a homespun vest can be worn forever!
Seeing him glaring at her, Chen Chunhua glared back without mercy.
She said she didn't want that dress. Who insisted on buying it for her? A red and white striped dress. How could she possibly wear it? Was she supposed to wear it to feed the chickens? What a rip-off!
The things in the mall were so tempting that none of them could stop themselves. As a result, today's dinner was the worst ever. A tea egg for each of the three of them was enough to fill their stomachs, so they didn't have to worry about the money.
After finally arriving in Su County, they carried their bags out of the train station. It was already dark outside. The three of them hurried to the edge of a small river. Before they got close, they heard someone whistling on the river.
"Wow~ Who's coming?!"
Chen Chunhua & Lin Guoqing: ...
"Your son, daughter-in-law, and niece!"
She thought Liang Shengdi should watch less TV. If she continued watching TV like this, she would one day become the King of the River, shouting, "I dig this river, I build this boat, if you want to pass through here, you have to pay me money to pass through."
"Mom, have the kids been well behaved these past two days?"
Chen Chunhua sat on a straw mat in the black-sailed boat, hugging her legs and asking Liang Shengdi,
Liang Shengdi yawned as she rocked the boat, "That's it. The good ones are always good, and the ones who are supposed to get into trouble will always get into trouble." She had no intention of covering up for others. When her parents came back, she would still punish them.
Lin Guoqing hummed, "Who got into trouble again? The third brother? What did he do?"
"A group of kids got some firecrackers from somewhere and set fire to Jinshui's haystack. There was a man sleeping there at the time and he was almost set on fire as well."
"What!"
"What!!"
Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua shouted in unison, this little bastard is getting more and more unreasonable as he grows up, he won't learn his lesson unless he is given a good beating!
Lin Shuchao, who was beaten with a rolling pin by his grandma yesterday, didn't know that his parents couldn't wait to come back and beat him.
"What do you think our parents will bring back for us?"
It's almost half past nine. My grandma went to pick someone up today and she wasn't home. Lin Shu came down to turn off the TV. He sent everyone away, closed the door, and then came back to do the questions.
A dazzling incandescent light bulb hung above the desk. Originally, in order to save some electricity, Lin Shugan asked his brother to come over and do his homework with him, but now he regretted it. Lin Shugan pushed Lin Shuchao aside, pulled out his own homework book and continued to bury his head in the questions.
"I don't know. I think you should be more mentally prepared than the gifts."
"What mental preparation?" Lin Shuchao tilted his head, suddenly remembering what happened yesterday, and stammered,
"Ah! Grandma already spanked me yesterday! My butt still hurts! Will Daddy spank me again when he comes back?!"
Lin Shugan: "...What makes you think that if you point at someone's haystack, grandma will just give you a couple of smacks and that's it? So why aren't you afraid of getting a beating from dad when you point at someone's haystack?"
"Oh! Didn't the teacher say that people in ancient times used to make fire by drilling wood together? So I thought I'd give it a try! I finally managed to make some smoke, and Uncle Jinshui happened to have some hay nearby, so I thought I'd pull out a couple to see if it would catch fire. Who knew it would be so strong... I really didn't mean to!"
"It's no use telling me, wait a minute..."
Before the second brother could finish his words, the sound of a door opening was heard in the yard, followed by Lin Guoqing's roar.
"Lin Shuchao! Get out here!"
