Chapter 110 Shopping in a Department Store
After trying Russian food, Su He felt it was okay and quite delicious. However, it was fine to eat it once in a while, but for a long time, she would still choose Chinese food and eat braised pork.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since we were having Russian food, the staple food was pasta. Everyone finished eating all the dishes and pasta on the table.
Regardless of whether you are used to eating it or not, you are spending money on it, and it is all meat and fine grains, so you definitely cannot waste it.
After returning home, everyone sat together and chatted for a while, talking about family matters. Mother Feng said, "Shun Ning said that the two babies are very good-looking and smart. I wonder when I can meet them."
Su He smiled and said, "When they are older, I will bring them here."
The two children are still young, and it is inconvenient for them to go out by train.
Mother Feng nodded, "Okay, he is really small now, bring him here when he grows up. Anyway, his third uncle and aunt are in the capital, so it's okay for him to stay as long as he wants."
Twin draco and pheasant fetuses are rarer than single fetuses, and people always want to see one.
Su He smiled and said, "Now that they are older, I guess they will want to go to the capital to visit their uncle and aunt, no need to tell them."
After chatting about the two treasures, Feng's mother asked again about the eldest son of the Su family, Su Yue.
"I heard from Xiao Che that his elder brother got married."
Su's mother smiled and said, "It was tied last year, and the baby is born this year."
Feng's mother was surprised, "Really? Boy or girl?"
Su's mother said, "It's a girl named Su Mian."
Mother Feng said, "Oh, this is a nice name."
"According to this calculation, among the younger generation, Changyi and Changan are the oldest, followed by Xingran from the second oldest family, and then Mianmian from the oldest family."
Mother Su, "Yes, I have four children, and the youngest got married first."
Feng's mother also laughed and said, "Didn't you expect that the eldest would get married first, or at least the second, but who knew that the youngest would get married first?"
Mother Su, "That's right. My husband and I are still writing to our eldest son, asking him to find a partner as soon as possible."
Su He said, "Mom, auntie, I think if you see a good one, you should take it first, otherwise you will miss the chance later."
She thinks her husband Gu Jianhua is a very good and qualified husband and father.
Su's mother said, "You are the only one who is brave enough to marry someone you have only known for two days."
Mother Feng pulled Mother Su and said, "Xiao He is right. If you see something good, you have to take the initiative."
Just like when they were choosing a son-in-law, seeing how outstanding Xiao Che was, they had no objection and acquiesced. If they had been any later, he would have been snatched away by someone else.
After chatting for a while, we went back to the house to rest. After all, we had been on the train for three days, so we needed to have a good rest at night.
the next day.
Mr. and Mrs. Feng took everyone to see Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, and Peking University. They didn't climb the Great Wall as there was not enough time. They will climb it next time they come.
In the afternoon, the family went to the department store again. Coming from a small county town, it was the first time for them to see such a large shopping mall. The goods were displayed in such a dazzling array that they could not even take in everything with their eyes.
The small supply and marketing cooperative in their county cannot be compared with other department stores. It is not even one-tenth as good as them. No, no, no, to put it bluntly, it is not even one percent as good as them.
The whole family looked and bought things. There were so many beautiful things that everyone wanted to buy something, but they didn’t have enough money or tickets.
Father and Mother Feng bought clothes for several grandchildren of the Su family, including Changyi and Changan, Xingran from the second brother's family, and Su Mian from the eldest brother's family.
They bought a set of ready-made clothes for each of them, and Su's father and mother also bought some for their four grandsons.
Anyone who forgets the adults will not forget the children either.
Su He bought some scarves for her three sisters-in-law and three aunts.
I have many sisters-in-law and aunts, so I buy more things than others.
I bought a piece of clothing for each of our parents. Since it was summer, they were both short-sleeved.
I bought sandals for both of them, one pair for each, and they had to be exactly the same.
This is the problem with twins. They have to be the same in everything, otherwise there will be trouble.
Su He and Gu Jianhua also bought a set of clothes each, but did not buy anything else.
Su He originally wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes for Gu Jianhua, but he refused, saying that the director didn't wear leather shoes, so why would he wear leather shoes?
Besides, why would they wear leather shoes there? It's not like in the big cities where people don't walk on mud. The roads are all asphalt or concrete, or at least bricks.
Not to mention the villages, even the roads in the county are dirt roads, which are dusty wherever you step on them.
Team leader Wang did ask them to buy a pair for him. Su He and Gu Jianhua bought them seven yuan a pair, the lowest grade. There are more expensive ones, fifteen yuan a pair.
It’s really expensive. Whether it’s seven or fifteen dollars, it’s expensive. It’s as much as half a month’s salary in Suzhou.
They had almost finished their shopping and didn't plan to buy anything else, but as they were walking around, they saw a radio.
Several people couldn't move.
The Feng family has a radio, and the Pei family also has one.
An idea flashed through Su He's mind, and she looked at Gu Jianhua, "Jianhua, should we buy one back?"
Gu Jianhua's heart was beating faster, just like when he first heard his wife confess her love to him. He wondered why his wife was always like this, and what she said was so bold.
What does it mean to buy one back?
"...It's too expensive." he said.
In his heart, he really wanted to buy one, but his mind told him not to because it was too expensive.
The radio costs about the same as a bicycle.
Su He, "We didn't spend a penny of your military retirement pay. Think about it. I'll ask my parents."
Su He went to Su's father and mother. Su's mother said, "It's a bit expensive, but if you two want to buy it, go ahead. I don't have enough money, so I'll take it."
"The money is enough, so I'll ask you and want to hear your opinions."
Su's mother said, "Buy it. Your parents-in-law are taking care of the kids. They can listen to it when they have nothing to do."
Father Su, who was listening to this, was eager to buy one. "Old lady, why don't we buy one too? You go to work during the day and I'm bored staying alone."
Su's mother, "If you are bored, clean up the house."
Finally, I bought a radio, and also bought one for Su's father.
Gu Jianhua and Su's father were very happy. They held the radio tightly in their hands and looked at it every two steps for fear that it might be hit.
Radios were as rare as televisions were a decade later, especially in their county, where it was rare to have two.
The train is at five o'clock tomorrow morning.
So everyone went to bed early when we got home, but a few people were so excited that they couldn't sleep, including Comrade Gu Jianhua.
He said to Su He, "Wife, believe it or not, my parents will be surprised and happy when they see this thing."
Su He: "Faith."
With this radio, Father Gu became the best among all the old men, and so did Mother Gu. The old couple were so proud.
Su He could imagine the appearance of Gu's father and mother holding a radio and talking to others. Gu's father was humble but couldn't suppress his smile, while Gu's mother was secretly showing off and telling others that the children were wasting money and what were they doing buying toys.
