Chapter 349 Awkward
Everyone thought what Chen Yi said made sense and no one cared about it.
Wang Jianguo was relieved, as long as it wasn't intentional. He thought they only came once or twice a year, so they wouldn't be allowed to come, right?
They always say hello in advance when they come and won’t come suddenly.
Everyone has thought of this and no one talks about it anymore.
"Come in and have dinner together." Chen Yi invited them. Since they were already here, they were all relatives. Why were they standing at the door?
After dinner, Wang Jianguo took out the specialties he brought from home, and then took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it over.
"What is this for?" He Shuyun looked at the money in front of her, somewhat confused.
Zhang Xiaoyun said from behind: "Mom, this is the money for Jianjun's wedding. We have two children, both of whom are in school. We don't make much money at home, so we don't give much. Don't complain."
"No matter how much it is, it's a token of our love from Jianguo and I. You can buy them some clothes or something, that's fine."
For a city family, this amount of money would definitely not be enough for a wedding, but for a family like theirs, fifty yuan could solve the problem.
He Shuyun was very surprised to see the money. She did not expect that her eldest daughter-in-law, who was usually stingy, would become so generous.
"This...this won't do. You should take it back quickly." She shook her head and refused.
It’s not that they don’t want it, but they have enough money for the time being.
"Why?" Wang Jianguo asked, "Is it too little? This is all we can give out."
He also wanted to take more, but he had a wife and children, so he couldn't just ignore them.
He Shuyun shook her head. "No, it's not easy for you in the countryside. Both children need to go to school."
"Mom, stop worrying about this. We spent all our family money when we got married. There's no reason for me, as his older brother, to be so stingy when my brother gets married!" Wang Jianguo was very tough and he just wanted to get the money.
After hearing this, the family didn't say anything else.
Everyone chatted lively and then went back to rest.
Chen Yi and He Mingcheng tidied up the space in the evening. There were still a lot of things in it. Now she felt that tidying up things was also a kind of enjoyment.
It was almost time, so the two of them took a break and prepared to discuss matters concerning the New Year.
"You don't have to buy anything. I'll line up if there's anything good. I still have a lot of tickets. I can sell them on the black market later." He Mingcheng was thinking about what the family needed.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "You don't need too much. There are many people at home during the New Year, so just prepare some meat. Kill a few chickens and geese tomorrow."
These poultry have been raised in the space all the time. Anyway, there are enough for use, and the rest are sent to the black market to exchange for money.
Even though these are only a few dollars each, they are sold every day, and together with eggs, poultry alone can earn several thousand dollars a year.
Now Chen Yi has a savings of nearly 100,000 yuan, all of which were exchanged for things in the space.
Of course, He Mingcheng was in charge of raising poultry, and she was just a hands-off manager.
The next morning, after He Shuyun prepared breakfast, she said she would go shopping for a while.
"Aunt, let me go with you. I have nothing to do." Chen Yi thought that her elder brother and sister-in-law came less than twice a year, so it was a good opportunity to go out and buy something for them.
"That's fine." He Shuyun nodded, turned to Wang Jinxi and said, "You stay at home to look after the kids, we'll go out for a walk."
At this time, the child is no longer in daycare, and it is too cold outside to take the child out, so someone has to stay at home to take care of the child.
Wang Jinxi was originally reluctant to go shopping with female comrades, so he was particularly happy to hear this. "That's great. I'll stay at home to look after the kids!"
After dinner, He Mingcheng went to the black market. Naturally, no one knew what he was going to do but no one asked.
Because he was busy with work, everyone thought he was out working.
You can't tell anyone about the black market, even if they are real relatives.
It’s not that I can’t trust it, it’s just that there are so many people and so many gossips, so it’s better not to say anything, so as to avoid confusion later.
"What do you like, sister-in-law? Can I choose a dress for you?"
When they arrived at the department store, Chen Yi suggested buying clothes for Zhang Xiaoyun.
My family is well off, and this kind of thing is not expensive, so it doesn't matter if I buy one.
The most important thing is that their mother-in-law is here to help, while they have to rely on themselves in the countryside.
Zhang Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, with a look of surprise on his face.
Unfortunately, before she could say anything, Wang Jianguo next to her helped to refuse.
"No need, Chen Yi, just buy whatever you like. We don't lack anything." His expression was dull, and he didn't care about his wife next to him at all.
After saying this, Zhang Xiaoyun looked a little embarrassed, but didn't say anything else.
Even if she is unhappy about what her husband says, especially in public, she cannot refute it.
Chen Yi naturally noticed it, but didn't say anything else, and the few of them continued shopping.
This time, He Shuyun bought a lot of things needed for the wedding. After all, her son's wedding will be after the Chinese New Year, and she has to prepare it in advance.
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, supplies are sufficient and the goods are good, so all the things you can buy are good things.
After walking around for a while, Chen Yi saw that it was almost time, so she asked them to go back first.
"Why don't you go back?" He Shuyun looked at her while carrying something, hesitated for a moment and walked over to whisper, "Don't buy anything for Xiaoyun, I'll buy it for her when the time comes."
She didn't want Chen Yi to spend too much money. They were all her family, and no one would complain.
Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "We're not buying anything, you guys go back first."
Several people left in a leisurely manner, carrying large and small bags of things.
Chen Yi sighed. She did stay to buy some things. If not for others, she had to consider He Shuyun. They were her biological sons and she had to take them into consideration.
Besides, Zhang Xiaoyun didn’t say she wanted anything nice. How could she not afford a piece of clothing?
I turned around and looked around the counter, then picked out a small thick coat that I could wear after the New Year and in both spring and autumn.
Zhang Xiaoyun is thin and petite, so you can tell at a glance how big his clothes are.
I bought clothes and also bought a pair of black trousers for Wang Jianguo. I noticed yesterday that his trousers were patched.
There were also two children. The girl bought a scarf and the boy bought a green brimmed hat with a red star on it.
These things are what people like nowadays, and it can be said that they are absolutely perfect.
These things only cost less than fifty yuan. She didn't buy anything all year round, so it was a good opportunity to buy them.
I also bought a pair of gloves for Wang Jianjun, which cost me five yuan. Now they have one pair of gloves in their family.
As for Wang Jinxi and his wife, they had already been bought before, so there was no need to buy again.
Seeing there were so many things, Chen Yi didn't feel sorry. After all, they were all her family members and they would be of many use in the future.
I haven't updated for a long time, sorry.
I had originally planned to resume normal updates in March, but then I caught a viral cold and was stuck for several days.
The weather is hot and cold, so please keep warm and wear a mask when going out to avoid respiratory infections.
