Jiang Weihua also agreed, "That's right! Xiaosong's current life can be said to be given by you. He also said that if he marries and has children, he must have two, one on each side, so that Doctor Cao will have descendants."
Zhou Xiang sighed, "You don't understand. Doctor Cao and Brother Xiaosong have depended on each other for over thirty years. To have half of his son taken away by someone else, the feeling in his heart is indescribable."
Ling Ran held the little girl's hand. He understood that it was as if he had worked hard and accomplished something, but in the end, the credit was taken away by others.
Zhou wanted to shake off his hand and glared at him: This is on the street!
Ling Ran blinked innocently.
Zhou wanted to turn his head away from him.
As the year draws to a close, the back market is almost the same as the regular market, with people crowding the streets. It is 95 years now, and people's living standards have gradually improved, so they are willing to spend money on shopping for the New Year.
A-Lian was very interested in the stalls on the street. Jiang Weihua was also interested and suggested going in to join in.
Zhou Xiang had no intention of following them, but when he thought about the fact that these were two people who had never experienced the harshness of society, it was uncertain whether they would be kidnapped or not, and even their wallets could be safely kept in their pockets!
"Okay! Together."
Ling Ran was told by Zhou Xiang to keep an eye on Jiang Weihua's wallet, so he could only follow the three of them.
Once she entered the crowd and was pushed around by the flow of people, A-Lian realized that it was not fun because the more she squeezed, the further away she was from the stall.
Zhou Xiang moved her hand, and the crowd around her seemed to be blocked by a wall, and a gap appeared. Zhou Xiang pulled A Lian to the stall next to her, and Ling Ran pulled Jiang Weihua to follow.
Standing by the stall is like a boat anchored at the seashore, giving you stability.
The stalls basically sold candies, melon seeds, and the like, so I walked slowly along the stalls.
Ling Ran had already caught two or three hands that were stretched too far. When the captured people saw that it was him, they retreated obediently.
A Lian and Jiang Weihua were unaware of what was happening in secret, and Zhou Xiang felt that this was not a good thing.
So she took the wallets of Senior Jiang and A-Lian and left ten dollars for each of them.
"Spend these ten yuan as you please. We'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the food station. This is a test. Tell us about your experience when you come back."
Jiang Weihua has never put money directly into his pocket since he was old enough to understand. Although it feels strange to be without a wallet, his little niece said it was a test, so let it be a test!
Ling Ran also agreed to this test and joined the crowd with the little girl.
The two of them stayed behind to continue experiencing the feeling of "going with the flow". When they saw someone selling folding paper lanterns, they both stopped. This thing should be fun, right?
A-Lian picked one, Jiang Weihua picked six, and after they arranged the candles, they both searched their pockets, only to find they were empty.
A-Lian was startled. She recalled that when her sister gave her the money, she had clearly put it in the outer pocket of her cotton-padded jacket.
Jiang Weihua thought of the test his little niece mentioned. Could this be it?
The stall owner looked at them and wondered what they didn't understand. He told them to put down their lanterns, "Okay, put down your lanterns and go!"
The two men, covered in dust, rushed into the crowd and squeezed out again. When they returned to the door of the food station, they saw the playful smile on Zhou Xiang's face.
"How was it? What were your experiences?"
A-Lian, "My money is gone. I clearly had it in my pocket."
Jiang Weihua: "We were robbed. Did you stop us before? That's why our wallets are still there?"
"Yeah! You're not stupid! Then why don't you pay attention to your pocket?"
Jiang Weihua, "I didn't expect that!"
A-Lian, "Ah? Thief? Who? I want to find him and get my money back."
Zhou Xiang pointed, and A Lian turned around to see Ling Ran coming back with someone.
The two newbies immediately stepped forward to demand, "Give us back our money."
The man was caught by Ling Ran and could only consider himself unlucky and took out the twenty yuan he had just bought.
After the two rookies got the money back, they didn't know what to do. Ling Ran took the man away, taught him a lesson, and then let him go.
The two rookies asked why they let him go?
"So what do you think we should do?"
Ah Lian looked at Jiang Weihua. Even though Jiang Weihua had no social experience, he knew that if he was sent to the police station for a petty crime, they would only detain him for two days for education before releasing him. Whether he could reform was anyone's guess. It was New Year's Day, and he was adding to the burden on the police station.
"No way, forget it, we'll be more careful next time. Will you still buy lanterns?"
A-Lian nodded, "I want to buy it!"
"Then let's go!"
Seeing the two of them squeeze into the crowd again, Zhou Xiang shook her head helplessly. Facing two real children, her fake child act was not very good!
The two squeezed back in, and Jiang Weihua squeezed back in with the lantern held high.
Seeing that the two were still excited, Zhou wanted to turn around and go home to play with the children, which was the most tiring thing.
When they got home, they began to tell Zhou Niao and Jian Jiankang about their experiences, but were met with contempt. "Grandpa is so stupid that he doesn't even know the meaning of 'fish in troubled waters'."
Jiang Weihua was shocked and took away all the lanterns, saying, "I bought these."
Jiankangkang didn't care. Could his uncle and grandpa play with six lanterns by himself? He would give them to them in the end.
On the 28th, when the market is held, there are fewer people on the street because everyone has bought everything they need.
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran took Old Lady Liu and his aunt's family of three shopping.
Zhou Yu and Zhu Hang followed behind.
In the middle of the street, he pointed to the Jiajiashun supermarket and said, "That's the supermarket opened by Zhu Hang and the other six. Do you want to go take a look?"
Old Lady Liu waved her hand and said, "No, there are so many people inside, we will just cause trouble if we go."
Continuing to walk north, "My mother bought those four stores and now rents them out to someone else."
Long Xin, "The supermarket was doing great business just now! Why did Auntie rent the storefront to someone else?"
Long Chao patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "You haven't considered the manpower issue. Does your aunt have time to look after the child?"
"Oh!" Long Xin didn't quite understand.
Zhou Xiang didn't say anything. Her family had been like this in recent years. Unless the town proposed development or she finished her work, her family would not change for the time being.
When they reached the north end, they saw the Gang of Six's building. Long Chao nodded. The building was not bad. They heard that it had been built for many years, but it still stood out from the crowd and its appearance was still relatively new.
After a stroll, returning home, Old Lady Liu lamented, "The town is still changing too slowly."
Although she hadn't been out much in the capital in recent years, she could tell how fast things were changing just by listening to people's conversations. This market town hadn't changed much except for a few new tiled houses.
In the afternoon, when there were fewer people on the street, the blind old lady followed her son out to take a look. She specifically visited the supermarket, which really felt like a supermarket in a big city, except that the cash register was operated manually.
Maybe because he has been doing this for a long time, he knows the price of things as soon as he sees them, and he also writes the shopping receipt manually. Only the cashier can understand the numbers on it.
After walking around, Jin Chao asked his mother, "Mom, do you want to come back?"
The blind old lady shook her head. "I feel a little bit uncomfortable coming back this time. Anyway, wherever you are, I'm there."
Jin Chao was relieved. He was always worried that his mother would miss home. People are the best at adapting to the environment. No matter what the environment is, they will get used to it after a long time.
