Qin Nian thought back to the last time she came back, her mother-in-law hadn't mentioned wanting to buy a tricycle at all. Why did she suddenly want to buy a tricycle? Could it be that she didn't have the money?
"Mom only told you today, maybe she didn't want to tell you."
Seeing Qin Nian's surprised expression and subsequent frown, Shen Xianjun quickly offered an explanation.
Qin Nian didn't rush to speak; she felt she shouldn't, and decided to listen a little longer.
“Buying a tricycle isn’t a big deal, my allowance is more than enough. It’s just that Mom wants to take Aunt Wang out with her in the tricycle, but I don’t think that’s a good idea, considering her age.”
Qin Nian nodded upon hearing this, agreeing.
"I was thinking of buying her a better one, and Mom agreed. I'll get her an oil-filled one so she doesn't have to pedal it herself. It'll be with this month's allowance..."
"I have the money, so I'll count it in when you buy things for Mom. The only question is, can Mom ride a bicycle?"
Upon hearing the word "money," Qin Nian immediately took out two hundred yuan from her pocket.
Shen Xianjun watched his wife's casual movements. Did she take out the money so easily? He always had to feel around and count how many yuan he had left.
"No, no, I have enough money. It's just that I wanted to tell you where my allowance for this month went."
Shen Xianjun explained.
“Is that really enough? No, what I mean is, we are husband and wife, and we should be a couple in terms of respecting our elders.”
Qin Nian's gaze involuntarily fell on the wardrobe.
"Um, you don't need to tell me specifically where you spend your allowance. Those are all minor things. I know you definitely won't squander it. I trust your character."
Qin Nian couldn't help but add another sentence.
"My wife, you're so good to me."
Shen Xianjun was deeply moved. His wife didn't care how he spent his money and even offered to help him out. She was so kind.
Seeing Shen Xianjun's moved expression, Qin Nian lowered her head slightly.
"Um, um, Mom, can you ride it?"
"Definitely, Mom can even drive a tractor, but she said she wants a tricycle."
"Mom is actually that amazing?"
Qin Nian was shocked.
"The commune's number one iron lady is no joke. In her life, there's probably almost nothing that Mom can't do, except for learning to read. It's just a matter of whether she can do it."
Shen Xianjun now realizes that his mother is amazing. He used to think she was too domineering, but now he has a completely different feeling.
"I've been reading a book lately, and there are some parts I don't quite understand. I've written them down, could you help me understand them?"
Shen Xianjun quickly remembered and picked up the book again.
Upon hearing this, Qin Nian also focused her attention on the book, her hair carrying a faint scent of shampoo, and began to answer Shen Xianjun's question.
"I'm not entirely sure about that either. I'll ask about the mechanical principles for you later. Are you planning to build fighter jets?"
Qin Nian looked at the questions Shen Xianjun was asking and suddenly spoke up.
"right."
Shen Xianjun was shocked by Qin Nian's keen insight, but then felt that it was only natural and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
“I think there are a few books that would be great for you, but they’re not available in China. I’ll try to get them for you, but they’re all in foreign languages.”
Qin Nian thought for a moment and then spoke.
"I have been learning foreign languages all along."
"That's good."
Qin Nian nodded. It was getting late, so the two turned off the lights and went to bed.
Shen Xianjun smelled a faint fragrance beside him and felt his nose itch.
