"Don't worry, your brother-in-law earns more than both of you. I can afford to buy these things for my parents, so don't argue with me.
I can't come back this year, so it's a good opportunity for you and your eldest brother, second brother, third brother and eldest sister to go back and visit your parents often.
I can only show my filial piety to my parents in terms of material things."
Jiang Mengran couldn't argue with him and could only take the money back.
"Don't worry, sister. I will go back to visit my parents every month when I am free. I will write to you if there is anything happening at home in the future."
At this time, the salesperson also handed over the stripped clothes.
"Uncle and aunt are so lucky. These are your daughters, right? Both daughters are so filial. Not many people are willing to spend so much money on clothes for their parents."
Jiang's mother's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. "Yes, my three sons and three daughters are all very filial. My second daughter and her son-in-law are both soldiers. Even though they are in the army thousands of miles away, they often write back."
For the elderly, they may not be very happy if you praise them, but as long as you praise their children, they will definitely talk to you endlessly.
Jiang Mengxue and her sister were worried that Jiang's mother would start chatting with others, so they quickly said hello to the staff and left with them.
"Shall we go back after we finish shopping?"
But Jiang Mengxue still has things to do.
She mentioned buying a radio this morning and plans to go upstairs to have a look now. If she finds something suitable, she will buy it right away.
Listen to the news at home and let the children learn foreign languages.
Radios have only been available in the past two years. Back in the 1950s, the technology was not up to par and the radios were very large, making them unsuitable for home use.
But the size and sound quality of the radios that are newly released now are quite suitable for home use.
Although Jiang Mengxue didn't have a cashier ticket, she had an industrial voucher, which could also be used.
On the third floor, there was a counter with radios. There were two or three brands and styles.
Although Jiang Mengxue didn't know which one was the best, she knew to choose the more expensive one in this situation.
Ask the staff to take out all three and try them out, and listen to the sounds.
Several people listened very carefully. If the sound was not clear or the signal was intermittent, it would definitely not work in a remote place.
In the end, I chose the most expensive one.
"I bought the radio but didn't have time to return it. My younger sister brought it home for me when she was free. It's nice to listen to music and news there."
The new cash register is quite expensive, more than one hundred and thirty yuan, almost as much as a bicycle.
But after a few years when the technology matures, the price of cash registers will drop to a few dozen.
The radio was quite large when packed in the box, but Gu Qingbei happened to come over after finishing his work.
The box wasn't heavy, so they could just carry it back.
"Old Huang asked us to go to his house for dinner tonight. I didn't know when I would be back next time, so I agreed."
Jiang Mengxue had no objection. She had only met Xie Sheng once since she came back this time, and she had nothing to do in the evening, so she nodded.
“I didn’t expect you to buy a radio, but I was just about to give my uncle a call.
I talked to my aunt about it, and she said to meet a few children first. If they are suitable, she would be willing to teach them, but if they really don't have the talent, then forget it. There is no need to waste time on both sides.
I think these kids just want to choose another specialty, and they don't want to follow this path in the future. They can learn it if they are interested, and it's fine as long as they are roughly good at it.
When I grow up, if I am really interested, I can go to the capital and find a professional teacher to teach me.
It’s not that Gu Qingbei looks down on Qi Zuilan, but many things still require professionals to do.
Some people sing very well, with ethereal and bright voices. They can learn many songs after listening to them once. They are talented singers.
But this does not mean that he can teach. He can do it himself, but he may not be able to teach others. This is also normal.
If you really want to develop a certain skill, you must find a professional teacher.
"Okay, let's put the radio at Xiaoran's house first. Otherwise, it's not safe to keep such a valuable thing there when no one is home.
Whenever Second Uncle and the others come to the city, they can just go directly to Xiaoran's house to pick it up."
Jiang Mengran certainly agreed: "Don't worry, my mother-in-law is at home every day. I put it in the cabinet and lock it. There will be no accidents."
Halfway through the journey, Jiang Mengxue and her friends got off the bus home first, and Jiang Mengran still had to go a few stops before arriving.
"I have work tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the train."
"Got it, we'll go there early."
Jiang Mengxue waved and the car drove away.
Old Mrs. Tian from next door was sent back after lunch. I heard the door next door open and the little old lady walking very fast with a cane.
"You guys are back so soon? I thought you were going to wander around the city.
Oh, and she bought a lot of things. Xiao Jiang, your daughter is really filial."
Once Jiang's mother started talking about her children, she couldn't stop and pulled Old Mrs. Tian into the house to chat.
Jiang Mengxue took some snacks and made two cups of scented tea for the two of them.
"Qingbei and I won't be eating at home tonight. There's something in the kitchen. You and my dad can make something for yourselves."
Although this trip doesn't require a long train ride, Jiang Mengxue still prepared a lot of food for them to eat on the train.
The weather is quite hot now, so nothing can be kept for long.
You can only prepare some pickles, meat sauce and the like, so that you can eat them with buns, steamed buns or noodles when you buy them.
You know, the food on the train is good enough to fill you up, and the taste is really not that great.
The two walked to the vicinity of Huang Haiwu's house and happened to meet Xie Sheng who was taking his two children home.
She was holding a basket of vegetables in her hands, and it looked like she had a hard time carrying it all by herself.
"I was wondering if I was too early and you guys weren't off work yet."
