326 Forty Years to Live
Gao Qinghe took her mother-in-law out shopping.
At first, Qi Lianxin was a little reluctant to spend the money.
But I saw my daughter-in-law pointing with her fingers in the store, this, this, and this, and wrapping them all up. When she paid, she didn't even look at the bill and just took out the money.
Qi Lianxin admitted that jealousy would make her heart twisted!
Spend, why not spend, she will spend it hard!
However, after staying in the village for a long time, the largest store I have ever been to is the department store in the county town. I was faced with too many choices at once and I didn’t know what to buy.
After choosing two sets of clothes, Qi Lianxin began to back out.
"Why don't you just go away? That's enough."
While responding to the waiter's enthusiastic smile, Qi Lianxin tugged at his daughter-in-law's hand, motioning her to leave.
Gao Qinghe had just sat down, holding the iced drink brought by the waiter.
Hearing this, he shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the underwear area on the opposite wall, and ordered the waiter domineeringly:
"Please help my mother choose some comfortable underwear. The old lady has sensitive skin. Get her a full set of silk underwear."
Qi Lianxin’s eyes widened. Why are you still buying a bra?
She hadn't worn one of these things until she was forty-nine and a half.
I didn’t have it when I was a child, and even after I got it, I didn’t dare to wear it.
"No, no, no..." Qi Lianxin's old face turned red, and he even seemed a little angry, resisting the waiter's recommendation.
Seeing how resistant she was, the waiter felt too embarrassed to push her in and looked at Gao Qinghe awkwardly.
Gao Qinghe put down the drink in her hand. She was clearly sitting and Qi Lianxin was standing, but with her aura, the mother-in-law looked like the daughter-in-law.
He patted the sofa beside him and motioned for his mother-in-law to sit over.
Qi Lianxin sat down tremblingly, "Well, I, I'll try it?"
Gao Qinghe shook her head to signal her not to be anxious, and asked her gently, "Mom, I remember you are only forty-nine this year, right?"
Qi Lianxin nodded.
"According to the United Nations' latest global life expectancy of 69, you still have at least twenty years to live. We went to the county for a physical last time, and the doctor said you didn't have any major health issues. I estimate that living to eighty-nine isn't impossible."
"So..." Gao Qinghe asked seriously, "With the remaining forty years of your life, don't you want to live differently? Experience more new things?"
Qi Lianxin looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise. She actually had another forty years to live?
Gao Qinghe nodded, that’s right!
Qi Lianxin took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision, and stood up and said to the waiter:
"I think the pajamas over there are pretty nice too, try them."
Since I've already taken off my clothes, it's worth buying a full set.
Before entering the fitting room, Qi Lianxin looked back at his daughter-in-law.
Gao Qinghe smiled at her and blew her a kiss in a charming manner. "Go, my beautiful middle-aged girl!"
Qi Lianxin understood his daughter-in-law's lip language, glanced at her shyly, and walked into the fitting room with the waiter with a bit of curiosity.
After trying for about half an hour, Qi Lianxin came out with a smile and asked for three sets of underwear and two sets of pajamas at once.
After making sure he was completely out of the clerk's sight, he couldn't help but say to Gao Qinghe happily:
"I didn't expect the clothes in this store to be so comfortable. They're not tight at all, they're smooth and cool, and they also make me look great."
Important parts are comfortably protected in all directions, and people walk with their backs straight, naturally looking in good shape.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was beginning to enjoy shopping, Gao Qinghe continued to take her to buy skin care products and some daily tonics.
In short, the two of them shopped until their hands could no longer hold anything, and then they said goodbye to the department store with satisfaction.
At 4:58 pm, the taxi safely brought the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the gate of the community.
Gao Qinghe handed the things to her mother-in-law and asked her to take them home first. Then she walked to the kindergarten across the street with a smile on her face to pick up her daughter from school.
At five o'clock, the school bell rang.
"Baby~, mommy is here to pick you up!"
Jiang Qiyue looked up in surprise, and his eyes lit up when he saw his mother dressed up beautifully today.
Then she raised her chin proudly, and under the envious gaze of her classmates, she held the shoulder straps of her schoolbag tightly with both hands like a fighting hen, and left the kindergarten with a proud and confident look.
When passing by the teacher who was in charge of picking up the children in the morning, Jiang Qiyue gave the teacher a bright smile.
Mom is the first one to pick up the baby from school!
Mom does what she says, baby loves mom the most~
Jiang Qiyue held her mother's hand and happily jumped out of the kindergarten gate.
He turned around to see if anyone was still looking at him. When he found that no one was looking at him, his little body relaxed, returned to normal, and he laughed.
"Baby, are you happy today?" Gao Qinghe smiled gently.
Jiang Qiyue nodded wildly like a chick pecking at rice, and was super super happy!
Gao Qinghe asked curiously, "Why?"
Jiang Qiyue tugged at her mother's finger in a coquettish manner and said, "Because you're the first one to pick me up today. The other kids don't have one, only I have one."
Gao Qinghe touched her daughter's head and said, "But Mommy didn't come to send you off this morning. Will you envy your other classmates?"
Jiang Qiyue stopped and shook his head seriously.
Gao Qinghe looked at her daughter curiously, and then she heard the little girl say:
"My mom is the first one to pick me up every day. They all envy me so much. If my mom also sends me off in the morning, they will envy me even more!"
"I already have one child who's envious. If I have two, Mom, I think the other kids will feel really sorry for me."
Gao Qinghe was a little surprised that a child of the same age only cared about having fun.
How could I have thought about the feelings of other children?
"Baby, mommy gives you a kiss." Gao Qinghe squatted down and opened her arms.
Jiang Qiyue happily threw herself into her mother's arms, and Gao Qinghe kissed her on both sides of her little face.
The child's face is so tender that I couldn't help but kiss him a few more times, which made Jiang Qiyue so itchy that he shrank back and forth in his mother's arms.
"Mom, you smell so good today."
The little guy snuck up to his mother's skirt, sniffing and exclaiming in a low voice.
Gao Qinghe laughed and said, of course it smells good after spraying perfume.
However, noticing the little guy's eagerness to move, he immediately warned: "Little boy, you can't do that."
"Okay." Jiang Qiyue sighed in disappointment.
With a roll of her bright eyes, she can ask dad to secretly buy one for her!
She also wants her own perfume, the kind in a beautiful bottle.
And my mother’s high heels, they are so beautiful and shiny.
Walking from the kindergarten to the community, Jiang Qiyue kept looking at his mother's shiny high heels with an expression of obsession and anticipation on his face.
Gao Qinghe glanced down casually and saw how adorable her daughter looked, and her heart softened for her.
Not far ahead is the sports equipment area, where a few children are already playing.
Gao Qinghe lowered her head and asked her daughter, "Baby, do you want to go over there and play for a while before going home?"
"Mom, are you coming with us?" Jiang Qiyue asked excitedly, looking up.
Seeing her mother nod and take the initiative to help her take off her small schoolbag, the little girl immediately rushed to the equipment area happily.
