Chapter 156
Charity sale on Saturday.
When Jiang Zhinian and Shi Ye arrived at the event site, various stalls had already been set up. In addition to selling various items at the stalls, parents also hand-painted promotional posters or put up small billboards to attract people.
Jiang Zhinian braved the early morning cold wind, took Shi Ye's arm and walked around all the stalls from beginning to end.
"Is there anything you'd like to buy?"
In this charity sale, every class tried their best. Some sold toys and books, some sold potted plants, and some snacks. In short, they had everything, and the prices were very cheap, basically selling at the cost price of group purchase.
She just saw someone selling small strawberries, and if it was convenient later, she would like to take a pot home to grow them.
As for Shi Ye, he was actually a person with very low material desires. He had never been interested in these non-daily necessities. He just shook his head and said, "You buy it."
"Well, I want to buy some secondhand toys for the baby. Do you mind?" Actually, when she passed by her class's stall just now, she noticed that many of the secondhand toys were in good condition, almost like 90% new, and most importantly, very cheap. "It was me who advocated for our class to sell secondhand and unused items this time. I think... I should support it."
Doing this is not only environmentally friendly, but also saves money. Why not do it?
She sometimes buys some well-maintained second-hand clothes to reduce her financial pressure.
"I just don't know if buying such toys is hygienic." She needs to consult Shi Ye, a professional, before making a decision. After all, toys are not like clothes that can be thrown into the washing machine for washing.
Shi Ye went with her to the second-hand toy stalls and took a look. "You can buy some heat-resistant plastic toys. If they use electricity, wipe them with an alcohol pad to disinfect them. If they are toys that children may eat, it is best to sterilize them by high-temperature steaming. This way, there will basically be no problem."
However, it is best to buy toys with quality and safety certification. First, the plastic material is better and can protect the safety of children during the oral stage when children like to chew. Second, the design of the toys is relatively safe and there is no risk of small parts falling off.
"Then... I'll buy it." Jiang Zhinian came to a stall and began to choose toys carefully.
The stall owner was the mother of a child in the class. Seeing Jiang Zhinian's big belly, she smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang, you can take a look at these toys. They are all suitable for young babies. You can ignore the ones with sounds and lights for now. These are not good for very young babies and will affect their vision and hearing development."
"Okay, then I'll take a look myself first."
Jiang Zhinian didn't know much about toys, and was dazzled as soon as he approached the stall. How could a child have so many toys?
The parent who was soliciting customers heard Jiang Zhinian's mumbling and laughed, "Who said it wasn't true? I also regret buying him so many toys. The house is always a mess. I can't even fit them all in, but I can't bear to throw them away. Luckily there's this charity sale. I'm thinking of giving everything a 10 yuan discount."
Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "Is it that when a child wants a toy, you feel like you can't refuse him?"
She had heard someone say before that many parents' attitude towards their children is actually to make up for their own childhood. Because they did not get the toys they wanted when they were young, once their children show a special liking for a certain toy, they will buy it for their children to avoid them from being like themselves in the past, with the regret of not getting what they wanted.
The parent who was setting up the stall smiled and said, "Hey, kid, what can I do if you don't buy it for me? I'll just roll on the ground if you don't buy it for me. I'll buy it and play with it once but never again. Oh, I'm so sorry for the money I spent."
Jiang Zhinian smiled and picked out a few toys that she had placed in the shopping cart earlier.
The parent found a bag and packed it up: "I have cleaned and disinfected these toys, Teacher Xiao Jiang can rest assured."
Jiang Zhinian thanked him, carrying the bag to Shi Ye's side, and happily raised it and shook it: "Look, the charity sale of unused items is so meaningful. These toys are almost as good as new. If you buy them brand new, it will cost more than 300 yuan, but now you can get them for 50 yuan."
Buying super affordable things is the greatest joy for girls when shopping.
Shi Ye took the bag from her hand and pulled her into his arms: "Do you want to go shopping again?"
"Let's go shopping. I just saw a picture book stall up ahead." Jiang Zhinian's enthusiasm for shopping was completely aroused, and he took Shi Ye's arm and walked forward.
"Jiang Zhinian."
Jiang Zhinian turned around and made eye contact with Feng Peipei, who was standing behind a stall. She shifted her gaze slightly and saw Qin Ziyang standing next to her.
This is a very magical combination.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang." Qin Ziyang greeted Jiang Zhinian seriously and waved.
Considering the child, Jiang Zhinian smiled at him, then walked up to him in the child's expectant eyes and touched Qin Ziyang's head: "Did you sell anything?"
Every time she talks to children, she unconsciously lowers her voice.
Qin Ziyang wasn't a very lively kid, and sometimes he didn't like to talk to people, but he liked Jiang Zhinian very much, so he nodded and replied, "It's sold for over 10,000 yuan."
Jiang Zhinian was a little surprised. What was sold and why was it sold for so much?
She looked down and found that their stalls were selling products with obvious logos.
Feng Peipei laughed and said, "These are the items that came with the package I bought before. I didn't like them, so I asked Xiaoyang to take them out and sell them."
As she spoke, she touched her belly, as if she was hinting at something with this intimate attitude.
Jiang Zhinian was stunned, and a strange guess came to his mind.
"Teacher Jiang..." Qin Yuming trotted over from a distance, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here."
He was just about to approach Jiang Zhinian when he suddenly saw her slightly bulging belly. She seemed to realize something and was a little embarrassed. Feng Peipei took the opportunity to hold Qin Yuming's arm.
Qin Yuming glanced at Jiang Zhinian and moved his arms uncomfortably, but Feng Peipei held him tightly, leaving him no chance to break free.
Jiang Zhinian glanced at Qin Ziyang, who was in a daze, calmly and said with a faint smile, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first. Thank you very much for your support of this charity sale."
Jiang Zhinian turned around, put Feng Peipei behind him, and walked away slowly, one step at a time.
Shi Ye grabbed Jiang Zhinian's hand and put it in his pocket: "Why are you so serious?"
"Shi Ye, I learned a secret about someone else... and then I just chose to see what happened to him."
This feeling was a bit weird. On the one hand, she couldn't face the darkness in her heart, but on the other hand... she actually felt secretly happy.
"Qin Ziyang is Qin Yuming's biological son, right?"
