Chapter 30 Buying a Gift for Li Yueru



"Dad, Brother Da Niu."

"Calm down, calm down."

"I'm fine!"

Seeing Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu rushing towards him with wooden sticks and kitchen knives in hand, Lin Sen quickly stepped out of the crowd and stopped them.

"ah?"

"Komori, are you really alright?"

Upon hearing Lin Sen's words and seeing Lin Sen standing unharmed before them, Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu were both stunned.

I waited for a long time at the temple fair, but Lin Sen never came back.

Worried that something had happened to Lin Sen, they inquired around and eventually found this place.

"I'm fine."

Don't worry!

Lin Sen shrugged slightly, grinned at Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu, indicating that he was truly unharmed.

“They are all my business partners who come to me to discuss business.”

"You don't need to worry."

With that, Lin Sen turned to the group of cooks and said, "Then it's settled. Come find me in the village in five days!"

"OK."

"Brother Lin, we'll listen to you."

"Brother Lin, I'll bring the money to the village to find you in five days!"

After Lin Sen finished speaking, the group of cooks all responded and left.

"Xiaosen, why did you send them to the village to look for you?"

Lin Jianguo watched the group of cooks leave, then looked at Lin Sen with great suspicion.

"Dad, you'll find out when the time comes."

Lin Sen smiled without explaining, then hopped on his bicycle and led Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu out of the alley, quickly walking into the supply and marketing cooperative by the roadside.

The supply and marketing cooperative in 1984 was simple and unpretentious. There were several rows of long wooden cabinets in the room, which contained oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, grains, rice, flour, and various non-staple foods.

Of course, in addition to food and drink, the supply and marketing cooperatives also sold daily necessities such as pots and pans, soap, and cigarettes.

In addition, the supply and marketing cooperative also sells men's and women's clothing!

In those days, the supply and marketing cooperatives were just a large general store, roughly equivalent to a condensed version of a large supermarket like the ones owned by a certain celebrity or a certain person in later generations!

Behind the wooden cabinet, several arrogant-looking sales clerks were chatting and eating sunflower seeds.

After Lin Sen, Lin Jianguo, and Zhang Daniu joined the supply and marketing cooperative.

They just glanced at it sideways.

Upon seeing that Lin Sen and his companions were dressed in shabby rural clothes...

They were too lazy to even get up and completely ignored it.

Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu were used to this.

Lin Sen was speechless.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperatives back then weren't like the supermarket sales clerks of later times; they were employed on a government-issued basis!

Nature will never pay attention to ordinary people.

"Dad, Brother Da Niu, let's buy more chicken, duck, fish, meat, and eggs."

"Yueru is pregnant and needs to nourish her body."

“My sister-in-law and her two children also need to take good care of themselves.”

Then, under the watchful eyes of Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu.

As if money were free, Lin Sen bought a whole bunch of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, as well as some expensive pastries and side dishes.

"And buy more of these pots, pans, and dishes as well."

Thinking about my own kitchen, I see many leaky or broken kitchen utensils that I've used for over a decade and are still in use.

Since he had already come out, Lin Sen didn't hesitate and immediately bought a bunch of new pots, pans, thermos flasks, and other daily necessities.

"Komori, this, this."

"Brother Lin, this is too much. We can't possibly eat it all, and we can't use it all."

Seeing that Lin Sen had bought so many things in one go, Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu were completely dumbfounded and stared wide-eyed.

They are the kind of people who would rather stretch every penny in half to spend.

I was truly shocked by Lin Sen's extravagant spending.

Not only were Lin Jianguo and Zhang Daniu frightened, but even several female sales clerks who were originally too lazy to pay attention to Lin Sen stood up and looked at him in astonishment.

They've worked at the supply and marketing cooperative for so many years, and Lin Sen is a rural person who's willing to spend money.

It was truly the first time they had ever seen it!

"Dad, Brother Da Niu."

"We don't lack money right now."

Lin Sen said with a smile, "So eat when you're hungry, and use when you're thirsty."

"You don't need that many."

Lin Jianguo picked up a basin, intending to put it back in its place: "Our basins are still usable."

What should we use?

"The bowl is so small that you can only fill it halfway with soup, and it leaks if you don't put a liner on it."

"You call this still usable?"

As he spoke, Lin Sen pressed Lin Jianguo's hand down: "Dad, let's use the new one."

"Remember this, our family is not short of money right now."

Even if you're not short of money, you can't just spend it recklessly.

Lin Jianguo subconsciously said, "As long as your dad and mom have enough to use, that's fine. You save the money for Yue Ru after she gives birth!"

"Dad, I will keep making money."

"You and Mom will never lack money, and the children will never lack money in the future."

Lin Sen smiled and looked at the sales clerk: "How much? Check please!"

"Thirty in total."

A saleswoman with a ponytail immediately answered Lin Sen.

"Okay, here you go."

Lin Sen immediately pulled out thirty yuan.

"Huh."

Just as he was about to pay, Lin Sen suddenly noticed a pink zip-up jacket hanging behind the saleswoman.

This reminded Lin Sen of Li Yueru.

Seven months pregnant, Li Yueru also had a zip-up jacket.

But her zip-up jacket was already patched up in worn-out patches.

"The weather is getting colder soon, it's time to buy Yue Ru a nice outfit."

Thinking of this, Lin Sen pointed to the coat behind the saleswoman: "How much is this coat?"
