After finishing the last move, Miao Lishan looked back reluctantly before getting into the car and said, "I've almost finished buying this time. I'll come back next month."
These words made Zhou Jiao, who was following behind her, roll her eyes speechlessly.
I just came out of the Friendship Store and walked all the way to the car. It was such a short distance, and everyone inside was a salesperson or a customer.
Anyone who saw them, looked at the things they bought and some of the packaging with the Friendship Store logo, and their eyes were almost bloodshot with envy.
Coming again?
She definitely won't join in the fun.
"Money really lasts a long time. I've got a bunch of cash and haven't touched it much yet. Do you think I should buy some more milk powder? Your aunt's two little grandchildren just need it..."
Zhou Jiao decisively pushed her into the car, "Let's go first. Mom, at the rate you're buying, no matter how many tickets we have, it won't be enough. I think I need to find some tickets for you."
"That's fine, I don't mind having too much. Not only our relatives and friends, but we'll also need it at home. By the way, school is about to start, so our kids should be home by now, right?"
"They said it was these two days."
As soon as Miao Lishan got into the car, she collapsed in the back seat. "I'm so tired. I didn't feel it just now, but now my legs are so sore. It's even more tiring than when I was working at the grassroots level."
Zhou Jiao put down her bag after hearing this and leaned over to rub her legs. She knew it was okay to be tired. She really thought she was still young.
"Last week he said it was just for a few days, but he still hasn't come home. I need to call him first when I get back. What does that mean?"
I've been away for so long, and I wonder how much weight the child has lost? They haven't revealed anything, so I can't even go see the child if I want to."
"Xiaowu, do you know the exact time? I asked your dad, and he kept saying the kids were fine, or reassuring me. I don't think he said hello to the kids down there."
Zhang Guoqing chuckled twice, "Don't worry, Mom. Maybe I'll see those three brats when I get back later."
"I hope so!" Miao Lishan pushed her daughter's hand. "No need. Your body isn't as good as mine. Sit down quickly and be careful not to get bumped."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Zhou Jiao sitting down. He started the car and asked, "Mom, do you want to go by my aunt's place?"
"Forget it. We're exhausted after all this time. Let's go back and rest early. Maybe Ping An and the others will be back by now. They'll be so disappointed if they don't see us."
Zhang Guoqing smiled knowingly upon hearing this. No wonder people often say that grandparents are close relatives. Perhaps the latter part is the key point.
But when he thought of the three brats who had forgotten to go home after having a blast, he couldn't smile anymore. If he guessed correctly, his mother-in-law would probably be disappointed for two days.
Zhang Guoqing's eyes flickered, and he turned around at the intersection...
Miao Lishan handed a stack of overseas remittance vouchers to Cheng Ruzhu.
Cheng Ruzhu was so frightened that she almost stumbled and fell. "Where did you get so many valuable things? Keep them for yourselves."
"precious?"
Miao Lishan tilted her head and looked at her for a moment: "Don't tell me you won't be able to get it."
Cheng Ruzhu gave her a sidelong glance with a wry smile. "At most, I'd ask my old sisters for a few. Who would have thought you'd need so many? Haven't you been to the Friendship Store in years? Have you forgotten that not only are the prices low, but many of the foreign goods there aren't even available elsewhere? Don't you think they're expensive?"
"I just came back from there. I won't tell you anymore, my Xiaowu and Jiaojiao are still waiting for me at the entrance of the alley."
Cheng Ruzhu quickly pulled her back and said, "You don't need so much."
Miao Lishan pushed her hand away and said, "Come on, do we still need to be so polite to each other? These were given by Master Jiaojiao, and I still have some."
"real?"
"Absolutely true."
"That doesn't need to be so much."
"Xiaoyu, the child is still young, so please stop pushing it. I'm not being polite to you. If I were to be polite, I would have bought some milk powder and sent it to you."
Cheng Ruzhu laughed. After so many years, they both knew each other's tempers, so she didn't push back and just took her arm and walked out.
"If you weren't going over today, I was going to call you. Do you remember Chen Shufen, the one who always liked to gossip about people behind their backs?"
"Which one?"
Cheng Ruzhu slapped her in frustration, feeling she hadn't learned her lesson. "You're talking about Chen Shufen, the wife of Director Wang, your only daughter."
Miao Lishan nodded quickly, as if she understood, "Oh, that's her."
Cheng Ruzhu was quite skeptical. After taking a quick look, she continued, "She gave birth to three daughters before she had a son. She sent her youngest daughter to the countryside for the sake of her son, but this youngest daughter also worked hard and was admitted to university."
Miao Lishan blinked in confusion. What's so strange about this?
"You have no idea how many people she's asked to be a matchmaker for her daughter since the first month of the lunar year." Cheng Ruzhu chuckled as she spoke. "She actually has her eye on a family. She originally wanted to get engaged first and then get married after graduation."
"That's normal. As long as her daughter is not crooked, she'll always find a partner."
"Don't interrupt me first. Let me tell you first. There are a lot of things going on inside."
Miao Lishan nodded when she heard this.
"Guess what? Last week, a mother and son from the countryside came to our house with their two or three-year-old child, and that's when everyone found out.
It turns out her daughter had already married and had children in the countryside, and had been married for five or six years. Do you think Chen Shufen is immoral? She even claimed her daughter was a virgin.
Her daughter followed her lead. It was said that when she went to the countryside, she fell in love with her man and kept pestering him. She had a childhood sweetheart and a fiancée from the same village, but she had torn them apart.
The mother and son were also very stubborn and filed for divorce immediately, but they had to return the 150 yuan betrothal gift. However, her family was really shameless and refused to acknowledge the money. The man still produced a letter in reply.
Cheng Ruzhu stopped Miao Lishan from speaking, "There's more. If that were it, I wouldn't bother to say it. The two parties finalized the divorce on the spot, and Chen Shufen cursed a lot of ugly words, even the people from the neighborhood committee couldn't stand it. But then there was a surprising turn of events, and guess what happened?"
Miao Lishan shook her head in confusion.
Cheng Ruzhu snorted in relief, "She still thinks I'm just a peasant. She never thought that I would look down on her family. I'm just a small director. I deserve it."
"The man was admitted to a university in Beijing this year. He originally thought that if his wife didn't change her mind and they already had a child, they could continue living their life as usual.
After completing the paperwork, a small car came to pick them up, and everyone was stunned. "Now Chen Shufen's family is in tatters, and it seems her husband is in trouble again."
Miao Lishan said "oh" without comment.
Cheng Ruzhu was so anxious that she patted her arm and asked, "Did you understand what I said?"
"I see. Isn't it just that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil."
"Oh, I've said so much because I want you to be careful. If Chen Shufen comes to you and asks for your help, don't pay any attention to her. She deserves it."
Miao Lishan blinked. How could she say who the other person was? She had no impression of him. But as soon as she said this, her sister-in-law would probably be furious.
Finally, she nodded.
