In addition to buying gold jewelry, clothes, and shoes for his daughter, Sheng Xiping also bought two sets of dolls.
It was one of those dolls with golden hair, whose head, arms, and legs could be detached and could be dressed in many beautiful clothes. Sheng Xiping saw it while shopping in Gangcheng.
Sheng Xiping has bought many dolls for his daughter. In the past, he bought cloth dolls with plastic faces and cloth bodies that were sewn together and stuffed with cotton.
Little girls all love dolls, and Sheng Xiping is happy to buy all sorts of toys for his daughters to coax them.
When Sheng Xiping saw the dolls in the port city, he immediately fell in love with them. No matter how expensive they were, he bought two sets for his daughters to play with.
Sure enough, when Xin Yue and Xin Qi saw the dolls, they were even happier than if they were wearing gold bracelets or new clothes, and each of them hugged a doll tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Do you like it? Then thank Daddy!" Zhou Qinglan couldn't help but smile as she looked at her two daughters' excited expressions.
"You guys really have enjoyed too much happiness."
Other kids are still making dolls from pillowcases, but you two have gone and made so many! It's fun, but you can't just destroy things.
The two girls obediently came over, snuggled up to Sheng Xiping, and puckered their little lips to kiss their father's cheek, as if to say thank you.
"Okay, okay, you're all good kids. If Dad finds anything fun when he goes out, he'll buy it for you again."
As long as my daughter is happy, I'll buy her whatever she wants.
The two girls took their dolls and went to play on the side, while Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan tidied up the things together.
The ones I bought for my parents were put away, but the ones I bought for them were packed separately and will be brought back to the forest farm in a couple of days.
After finishing all that, it was getting late, and the two girls were so sleepy they kept dozing off.
Zhou Qinglan quickly laid out the bedding, made formula for the children, and after they finished drinking the formula, they brushed their teeth, washed their feet and bottoms, and then went to bed.
The two girls couldn't bear to part with the dolls, so they each hugged one and soon fell asleep.
Sheng Xitai hadn't returned yet, and the couple couldn't sleep, so they decided to tinker with the TV.
Although the effect is not as good as it is without an outdoor antenna, at least there are people and movements, which is better than nothing.
The two children are asleep, and as long as the TV is kept quiet, it won't wake them.
Around nine o'clock, Aunt Li lit another fire to heat up some food for Sheng Xitai.
Sheng Xitai gets out of school around 9 p.m. and arrives home by bicycle around 9:30 p.m.
This boy has a big appetite; he eats in the cafeteria around 5:30 pm, and by evening he's almost digested it all.
So every night, Aunt Li would heat up some food for Sheng Xitai so he could eat something when he got home, so he wouldn't be hungry and unable to sleep at night.
Sure enough, Sheng Xitai arrived home at 9:30 sharp, hissing and shivering as he entered the door.
"Oh my god, it's freezing! Sister-in-law, why did you take the afternoon off?"
As soon as Sheng Xitai entered the house, without even checking what was inside, he shouted.
"What's all the noise about? Yueyue and Qiqi are asleep. Are you going to wake them up?" Sheng Xiping came out of the east room and glared at his younger brother.
"Big brother, you're back? Oh my, what's all this stuff in the outer room? What are all these?" Sheng Xitai then noticed that there were quite a few cardboard boxes in the outer room.
"Those are the home appliances I bought, such as a TV, washing machine, and refrigerator. I'll send a set home in a couple of days."
The stove is burning, it's quite warm. Go and warm yourself up; Aunt Li even heated up some food for you.
Sheng Xiping waved his hand, telling his younger brother to catch his breath and eat, and not to linger around those appliances.
"Okay, I got it, bro." Sheng Xitai kept turning back to look at the appliances, thoroughly enjoying them.
That's true. After all, these days, it's quite remarkable for any household to have a complete set of home appliances.
When Aunt Li saw Sheng Xitai return, she quickly took the food out of the pot, and instead of putting it on the table, she placed it on the edge of the stove, inviting Sheng Xitai to eat.
Sheng Xitai was really hungry, so he ignored everything else and went into the kitchen to slurp down a lot of food before he felt full.
After finishing his meal, Sheng Xitai peeked into the east room and saw a television on the cabinet, which he found incredibly interesting.
Fortunately, Sheng Xiping was quick; he turned off the TV as soon as he heard the noise outside.
"Alright, after you finish eating, take two more pieces of dough and put them in the stove so they won't get cold later in the night. You should rest for a while and go to bed early."
It's not that I'm reluctant to let my younger brother watch TV, but I'm mainly afraid that it will distract him and interfere with his studies.
As someone who lived through it all, Sheng Xiping knows all too well what most people were like back when television first came out.
As long as there's a TV screen, I'll stare at it intently, like I'm possessed.
Sheng Xitai is in his second year of high school now. His studies are important. Besides, it's almost 10 o'clock. He should hurry up and go to sleep and get some rest.
"Oh, I understand, brother." Sheng Xitai nodded, went out and got a few pieces of dough, and put some into the stove and furnace.
Then I washed my feet, brushed my teeth, crawled into bed, and fell asleep in no time.
In the east room, Sheng Xiping also washed up, then crawled into bed, hugged his sweet and soft wife, and kissed her twice.
"Keep your voice down, or you'll wake our daughter," Zhou Qinglan whispered.
I slept exceptionally well and before I knew it, it was past seven o'clock.
Sheng Xiping was still fast asleep when he suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe, as if his nose and mouth were blocked.
He hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see his two daughters dressed in shirts and trousers, one pinching his nose and the other covering his mouth.
"Oh my dear daughter, you're not just a sweet little girl, you're going to kill your dad!"
