Xu Jianguo blurted out without thinking: "I will report to the factory tomorrow and can eat in the cafeteria."
Old Lady Xu slapped him on the back of the head again: "You selfish bastard, I knew you only cared about yourself."
Xu Jianguo realized that he had said something wrong, and he felt like crying, but he couldn't cry. Then he immediately made amends: "Mom, I slipped up and said the wrong thing. What I meant was that I could go to the factory and bring you some food so that you wouldn't starve.
Besides, even if this doesn’t work, we can always buy it on the black market.”
These words calmed Mrs. Xu down a lot. She looked at Xu Jianguo without looking away: "There are several of us, including two children. It is definitely not feasible for us to bring our own meals to the cafeteria.
As for the black market you mentioned.
You're new here, do you know where the black market is?"
This question stumped Xu Jianguo. He scratched his head and said, "I don't know. How about asking someone else?"
Old Lady Xu rewarded him again: "People go to the black market secretly and hide it. Who will tell you the truth?
Do you think you are not dying fast enough?"
Xu Jianguo paused. Yes, he couldn't go to the black market right now. If he got caught, it would bring trouble to his daughter. "Mom, what do you say we should do?"
Old Mrs. Xu knew that Xu Jianguo couldn't come up with a good idea, so she waved her hand and said, "Go clean up, and ask Jiajia when she comes back."
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Jiajia not only brought back a truckload of furniture, but also bought cooking pots, chopping boards and knives.
Mrs. Xu looked surprised: "Don't you need a ticket to buy a pot? Where did you get the ticket?"
Xu Jiajia smiled and said, "I borrowed it from someone."
With the pot, Mrs. Xu felt a lot more relieved: "I'm glad I can borrow it. I was worried about not having a pot to cook!"
Xu Jiajia bought four beds.
She and Shen Yuebai shared one, Xu Jianguo shared one, the old lady shared one, and Matchmaker Li shared one.
I also bought four tall wardrobes.
The old lady could understand why they bought so many beds, but she also felt that buying so many wardrobes was a waste of money: "Why buy so many when we can just buy three wardrobes?"
Xu Jiajia naturally had her own plans for buying so many wardrobes: "The extra wardrobes are for the two children."
The old lady paused and stopped talking.
Deliver the stuff.
Xu Jiajia went to the department store again.
The department store in Kyoto has six floors.
The first floor sells daily necessities.
The second floor sells food, snacks and fruits.
The third floor sells clothing.
The fourth floor sells electrical appliances.
The fifth floor is the mysterious "special supply department" - Supply Department No. 34.
The sixth floor is the department store management office.
Xu Jiajia bought four sets of quilts and some cotton.
Fortunately, I exchanged a lot of national tickets before coming here.
Otherwise, where would I get so many tickets to buy for her?
Back home.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at the cotton in the sack and said, "Jia Jia, this cotton is a little small. We can only make two quilts at most."
Xu Jiajia: "Cotton is very scarce. We only have this much. Let's use it first. I estimate that the package will arrive tomorrow."
There is too much luggage at home.
In addition, Shen Yuebai and Chen Ji would not arrive in Kyoto until mid-month, and there was simply not enough manpower, so Xu Jiajia had no choice but to pack the things and mail them.
They only brought two snakeskin bags, which were filled with the two children's belongings and some clothes for changing.
When Mrs. Xu heard that it would arrive tomorrow, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it will arrive tomorrow. I thought it would take ten days or half a month!"
Xu Jiajia smiled: "It won't take that long."
After putting the things down, Xu Jiajia washed her hands and looked at the tall soldier: "Thank you for your hard work today. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."
The tall soldier shook his head: "No, no, I still have to go to the army to report the situation to the leader."
As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Xu, who was walking towards them, said, "There's no rush to report the situation. The world is vast, but eating is the most important thing. Let's go, let's go eat together.
Anyone who doesn't go is looking down on an old woman like me."
"Grandma Xu, that's not the case. My leader told me to return to the army as soon as possible."
The tall soldier had seen the old lady's enthusiasm and was afraid that she would hold him back, so he said this and ran away as if for his life.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at his back and it took her a long while to react: "Am I the beast Hong Shui? Look how scared this child is!"
Xu Jianguo, who had watched the entire process, chuckled: "Mom, do you know what your eyes looked like when they lit up just now?"
Old Mrs. Xu knew that he couldn't produce ivory, but she wanted to hear what he was going to say: "Like what?"
Xu Jianguo was very happy at the moment, but he had a flaw: when he was happy, he would speak without thinking: "Like an old witch who has lived for hundreds of years."
Old Mrs. Xu's face changed and she grabbed the broom next to her and was about to hit someone.
Xu Jianguo saw this.
His two feet seemed to be equipped with Hot Wheels and he ran very fast.
He ran and yelled, "You clearly told me to say it, and you hit me after I said it? How could you do this?"
Xu Jianguo was running in front and Old Lady Xu was chasing behind.
The two of them staged a game of chasing each other.
The two children also watched with great interest.
Especially the little stars, he clapped his hands and called softly: "Grandpa, come on, Grandpa, come on."
In ancient times, only those whose testicles had been castrated were called eunuchs. Xu Jianguo didn't like hearing Little Star calling him that and had corrected him many times, but Little Star never got the hang of it.
"Little Star, it's not grandpa, it's grandpa, it's grandpa."
Little Xingxing moved her little mouth several times, and her tongue was tied several times before she could make a sound: "Yes, yes... yes, grandpa."
