Chapter 93 Something Good Happens
Bai Zhenzhu chose for herself the thinnest gold chain with a heart-shaped pendant on it.
Very exquisite.
Xia He asked her to buy something thicker, but Bai Zhenzhu kept shaking her head.
I always feel that a gold necklace that is too thick is too exaggerated.
After the final calculation, Xia He's two rings weighed about 15 grams in total and cost more than 1,500 yuan.
The white pearl gold necklace and gold ring cost more than one thousand nine hundred in total.
There are quite a lot of things in this Jixiang Commercial Store, many of which are not available in department stores and are quite novel.
A group of people went in and took a look around.
It was getting late after the shopping, so she first sent Xia He to the entrance of the alley, opened the trunk, and pulled out a snakeskin bag from under the last row of seats for Xia He:
"This is home-made bacon and sausage."
Xia He saw that there were quite a lot of things in the bag, so she opened it and took a look.
In addition to the sausages, there is also a cured pork leg and a piece of pork belly.
Nowadays, if someone gives you cured pork legs and sausages as a gift, it definitely means they treat you as a real relative.
Xia He didn't bother to be polite with her, since she really loved this dish.
"Okay, thanks." He waved to Li Xiufen in the car and said, "Auntie, thank you for the bacon. Come to my house when you are free."
Bai Zhenzhu closed the trunk and said to her:
"Come to me when you're bored."
Xia He knew that the other party was concerned about her having nowhere to go during the New Year, so she smiled and said:
"This year, except for my mother, no one in their family has any clothes."
"I've figured it out. Even if I go back to eat, it's my mother's food."
"If I'm happy, I'll go back and eat. If I'm unhappy, I won't even bother to go in the door."
Seeing that she thought more thoroughly than herself, Bai Zhenzhu felt relieved.
After getting in the car, Li Xiufen said:
"Such a good girl, you're not married yet?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "No one is worthy of her for now."
When they got home, the whole family was shocked to see Li Xiufen had changed drastically.
Xu Yin hugged Li Xiufen's arm:
"Oh my god, mom, you are such a fashionable old lady. Dad, come and see if mom looks good?"
Li Xiufen patted Xu Yin on the back in annoyance:
"You're the only one who's annoying."
Old Man Bai looked at his wife and nodded:
"nice."
Li Xiufen's face was burning with anxiety, and she said awkwardly:
"It's all because of that girl Pearl. She insisted on getting my hair permed."
He stretched out his hand again and showed it to Old Man Bai:
"Look, this gold ring was also bought for me by her."
"I told you not to buy it, but you insisted."
The tone was one of disdain, but the corners of his lips couldn't be suppressed.
Old Man Bai's eyes moved from his wife's hair to his hands: |
"They all look good."
When Xu Yin saw the gold necklace on Bai Zhenzhu's neck, her eyes lit up:
"The pearls are beautiful, the hair is permed in a very fashionable way, and the necklace is also beautiful."
Bai Chengxiang immediately said:
"If you like it, buy it. When you give birth, you can also get one permed."
Bai Chenglei also smiled innocently:
"I will continue to work hard to make money and buy some for Mom and Fangfang later."
Liu Fang smiled and punched Bai Chenglei.
In addition to the gold ring, Bai Zhenzhu also gave the old couple a down jacket each.
Old Man Bai's is black and Li Xiufen's is blue. They are light and warm to wear, and the old couple love them very much.
Bai Chenglei made dinner. The family had a simple dinner and made an appointment to go to a restaurant to make glutinous rice cakes tomorrow.
The restaurant has a lot of meat and vegetables prepared, it is spacious, and has all the utensils.
Zhang Hongying's house next door also has a hand mill.
Li Xiufen asked Bai Zhenzhu to soak some rice and steam rice cakes tomorrow.
Every Chinese New Year, my family prepares a lot of food.
Make glutinous rice cakes, steam rice cakes, and fry crispy meat. In the past, people in my hometown would dig konjac and grind it into pulp to make konjac.
The most important thing is to make fermented glutinous rice.
The fermented glutinous rice wine of Bai Zhenzhu is also ready. It was made by Liu Fang. It fills a whole jar, enough for their family to drink for a long time.
Store in a cool place and it will last for several months.
Back at the restaurant, Bai Zhenzhu carried a bunch of things out of the car.
There were children's clothes in Jixiang Store, so she bought a set for Shuo Shuo and Jia Jia, and a pair of white sneakers for each of them.
Liu Huiying didn't know what to say.
White Pearl said:
"I gave you my salary but you didn't want it. I bought this for my child, not for you."
He also said:
"Jia Jia is going to kindergarten in the spring, right? Let's wear new clothes to kindergarten."
Liu Huiying was just about to inquire about this matter. After the first day of the first lunar month, Jia Jia would go to kindergarten, and she couldn't always play with her in the store.
"Zhenzhu, can Jiajia go to Shuoshuo's kindergarten?"
White Pearl shook her head:
"I'm afraid not. Jia Jia doesn't have a household registration."
"But don't worry. There is a kindergarten here that is specifically for children without household registration. The second child of Hongying's family next door used to go there. But the tuition and food fees are a little more expensive than the kindergarten that Shuo Shuo attends."
Liu Huiying immediately said:
“As long as I can go to school, that’s all.”
Bai Zhenzhu said: "Don't worry, you can afford it."
Liu Huiying finally felt at ease.
The next day, the whole family got up very early.
By the time Bai Chenglei, Bai Chengxiang and others arrived, Liu Huiying had already cooked the porridge.
Bai Chenglei took a basin and bought a basin of buns.
After dinner, I started to work.
Bai Chengxiang and Bai Chenglei went to the braised meat shop to make braised meat.
Old Man Bai and Li Xiufen started to steam glutinous rice and make rice cakes.
The glutinous rice has been soaked for almost two days, so take it out and steam it directly.
There are no special stone pits for making glutinous rice cakes in the city, so one can only pound it in small quantities in a bucket pot multiple times with the largest rolling pin. It is a strenuous job.
Liu Fang and Liu Huiying went to Zhang Hongying's house next door to borrow rice milk from a hand grinder to make steamed rice cakes.
Bai Zhenzhu packed her things and drove to the furniture factory.
The furniture factory was closed for holiday and the door was closed. Bai Zhenzhu shouted several times before an old man came to open the door for her.
Guo Yongliang lives in a two-story building behind the furniture factory. At this moment, he is killing chickens in the yard with an old man.
Seeing Bai Zhenzhu, Guo Yongliang was stunned for a moment:
"Girl, why are you here?"
Bai Zhenzhu came over with a bunch of things:
"It's the New Year, I'm sending you some New Year's goods."
"This is my uncle, Uncle Guo, hello."
"Hey, okay." Old Man Guo smiled kindly, looking much more honest than his son.
Guo Yongliang took a rag and wiped his hands casually, then came over and took the things from Bai Zhenzhu.
While complaining about "Why buy so many things", he shouted into the house:
"Minjing, Pearl is here."
Ge Minjing came out of the house with her hands raised.
She was wearing a high-necked red sweater and was apparently busy at the stove.
Seeing Bai Zhenzhu, she smiled:
"Hey Pearl, come in and sit down."
White Pearl waved her hand:
"No, no, Sister Minjing, please go and get busy. I thought you might go back to Rongcheng tomorrow, so I came here in advance to wish you a happy new year."
"Uncle Guo, Brother Guo, Sister, I wish you all a happy new year."
Ge Minjing: "Happy, happy, come in and sit for a while before leaving."
Bai Zhenzhu: "No, I'm busy at home."
Guo Yongliang came out of the house, carrying a bag of things and put them directly in her car:
"You came at the right time. I won't make another trip. You can take these back."
Chong Bai Zhenzhu said proudly:
"We are indeed going back to Rongcheng tomorrow. From what my father-in-law said, there should be good news. You wait for my good news."
"Okay."
Bai Zhenzhu's heart moved and she guessed that there might be work to be done in Rongcheng.
