Yun Muye walked slowly holding the baby, afraid that Gu Zhinian could not keep up with his pace. When they entered the store, they saw a wide variety of goods neatly placed on the shelves.
Many people were lining up to buy things. Yun Muye turned around and asked Gu Zhinian, "What do you want to buy?"
"Towel, toothbrush, and I want a washbasin."
"Okay." Yun Muye took her to the shelf selling daily necessities. After picking out the items, Yun Muye handed the ticket to the salesperson. Gu Zhinian reached out to stop him.
"I'll be fine."
"You have a ticket?"
Yun Muye asked back, and Gu Zhinian found that she had so much money in her hands, but without the ticket, she couldn't spend the money.
"I still have a lot of tickets. I'll give them to you when we get back."
Gu Zhinian didn't want to take advantage of him, "Then I'll give you money."
"Need not."
Gu Zhinian rushed to give the money to the salesperson, "I'll pay."
"Okay!" Yun Muye was afraid that if he rushed to pay again, Gu Zhinian would feel embarrassed to buy things, so he took his time.
After shopping, Gu Zhinian wanted to buy a quilt. "Do you sell quilts here?"
"Yes, but first I have to buy the cloth and then go to the quilt factory to make a quilt."
"You want cloth coupons too?"
"right."
"Thank you for your help."
Gu Zhinian was thinking about where to get some tickets, otherwise it would be inconvenient to buy things.
“No trouble!”
Yun Muye took her to pick out fabrics. Gu Zhinian was looking down at the fabrics when a middle-aged woman next to her exclaimed in surprise.
"Makino, why are you here?"
Yun Muye turned around and saw that it was the political commissar's wife, Zhang Yanni, who was also his mother's old classmate. The two of them often called to talk about him.
"Aunt Zhang, are you shopping here too?"
"Yes, I want to tear a piece of cloth to make a dress."
Zhang Yanni clapped her hands and smiled, then took the little Tangyuan in his arms and said, "Oh, my little darling, do you miss Grandma Zhang?"
"I miss you, Grandma Zhang."
Tangyuan called out in a sweet and childish voice. Zhang Yanni loved the cute little boy so much that she held him in her arms and called him "little good boy" one by one.
"Makino, have you called your mother?"
"Yes, she is back home taking care of the kids."
Zhang Yanni smiled cheerfully.
"Oh, your mother said that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat girl, and she loved her so much. Now it's good, a grandson and a granddaughter, all in one!"
Yun Muye smiled and turned to look at Gu Zhinian. She had already picked out the fabric and was standing behind him waiting obediently. Yun Muye lowered his head and asked,
"Have you chosen?"
"Um."
Gu Zhinian nodded, Yun Muye took out the cloth coupons, Gu Zhinian paid, and after buying the cloth,
Turning around, she saw Zhang Yanni holding the baby and looking at her with a smile. Gu Zhinian was a little socially anxious, but she still mustered up the courage to smile and say hello.
"Hello."
Zhang Yanni looked at her and liked her more and more.
"Hello, this girl is really pretty, even prettier than the big star in the magazine."
Gu Zhinian smiled shyly and stood there at a loss, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Every time she goes out, she is most afraid of meeting acquaintances. Even though they have nothing to say, they still insist on having awkward conversations. In the past, she would wait until there was no one in the corridor before she dared to throw away the garbage.
Zhang Yanni saw that the girl was shy, so she looked away tactfully and asked Yun Muye jokingly,
"Makino, who is this girl? Can you introduce her?"
Yun Muye wanted to introduce him, but was afraid that Gu Zhinian would not be happy, so he simply said,
"She is the nanny I hired to take care of the children."
Zhang Yanni joked, "Oh, little nanny, such a pretty little nanny."
"Aunt Zhang, stop making trouble. The girl will be embarrassed."
Yun Muye clenched his fists, put them to his lips and coughed lightly, then stole a glance at Gu Zhinian, fearing that she would be unhappy. Fortunately, although Gu Zhinian was shy, she did not seem angry. She quickly reached out and hugged the baby.
"Aunt Zhang, you're busy, we still have to go buy other things."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Zhang Yanni watched the three of them leave and heard the baby open his arms for Gu Zhinian to hold him, "Mommy, hug me."
Zhang Yanni's eyes lit up.
"You little bastard, what's the nanny? She's obviously the child's mother, and you're lying to your Aunt Zhang. I wonder if my old sister knows about this? I have to go back and call her."
Zhang Yanni hurried home, sat on the sofa and dialed the phone. After the ding-ling sound, a middle-aged woman holding a one-month-old baby answered the phone.
"Hello? Who's that?"
"Lingzi, it's me, Yanni!"
"Hey, Yanni, it's been a while since we last met. I've been so busy taking care of the kids that I don't have time to chat with you."
"Hey! When can we not talk? It's more important to take care of the children. How is your daughter-in-law?"
"I'm recovering very well. I just left the confinement period and I'm holding my little granddaughter."
After the two chatted for a few words, Zhang Yanni said in surprise:
"You know what? Your eldest son found a daughter-in-law for your family. She's so pretty, like the big star in the magazines."
"What!" Li Yuling widened her eyes in surprise. How come she didn't know that she had an eldest daughter-in-law?
"Really? That brat didn't even tell his family and bring the girl home for dinner. What the hell is he up to?"
The eldest son's marriage was her biggest headache. Originally, the eldest son had good prospects. He was tall, handsome, young, and a battalion commander. Many girls were willing to marry him.
A few years ago, the eldest son was on a mission and was seriously injured. He almost couldn't come back and stayed in a sanatorium to recuperate for more than a year. He also inexplicably had a biological son. Now, the girls were unwilling to go on blind dates with him. After all, it is not easy to be a stepmother. Which good girl would be willing to be a stepmother?
