Five people were shopping happily in the Friendship Store, and the afternoon passed quietly amidst laughter and a wide range of merchandise.
Before we knew it, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the store, announcing that dinner time was approaching.
They then left the store reluctantly and boarded the bus back to the military compound.
Along the way, everyone was excitedly sharing their shopping experiences at the Friendship Store, with bursts of laughter from time to time.
When she returned to the military compound, it was already getting dark. Lin Zhiyue walked into the house quickly and saw that her parents had already returned from get off work, and her grandparents were sitting in the living room.
Lin Zhiyue smiled and said impatiently, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, I went to the Friendship Store today and bought some clothes for you. Do you want to try them on?"
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Weidong and Lin Lang's eyes. Without saying a word, they directly picked up the clothes handed over by Lin Zhiyue and hurried into the room to try them on.
After a while, the two came out of the room. Lin Weidong was wearing that neat shirt, and he had buttoned the collar neatly. With a look of expectation on his face, he asked, "How is it? Does it fit? Do you look energetic?"
Lin Lang, wearing a fashionable jacket, turned around on the spot, showing the style of the clothes.
Lin Zhiyue's eyes were full of smiles. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you look several years younger in this shirt. You look so energetic! This jacket is tailor-made for you. It's so handsome!"
Others also nodded in agreement, and praises were heard everywhere.
After hearing this, Lin Weidong was overjoyed. He turned to look at Grandma Lin who was sitting next to him and said, "Old lady, why don't you try on the clothes that Yue bought for you? I think that style will definitely suit you."
Grandma Lin was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing this and looking at everyone's expectant eyes, she stood up.
Wen Yu, who was standing by, also smiled and said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, let's go try it on together. I also want to see the clothes my daughter picked for me."
After saying that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the room hand in hand.
A moment later, Grandma Lin and Wen Yu changed their clothes and came out.
Grandma Lin was wearing that silk embroidered blouse. The elegant pattern made her face look rosy and she looked gentle and kind.
Wen Yu was wearing that fashionable dress, the unique cut of which perfectly outlined her figure and showed her elegant temperament.
Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and they all exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, it seems like this dress was chosen according to your temperament, it's so suitable!"
After hearing this, Grandma Lin and Wen Yu's faces were filled with happy smiles, and they kept praising Lin Zhiyue for her good taste.
Mrs. Wang, who had been busy all afternoon, came out of the kitchen with a kind smile on her face and said in a loud voice, "It's time to eat. The food is already on the table. Come and eat it while it's hot!"
Hearing Mrs. Wang's call, the family members stood up and walked towards the dining table.
Lin Weidong was the first to pull out a chair and sit down steadily. Grandma Lin sat down slowly at the side, neither hurried nor slow.
Lin Lang also strode over, sat down, and reached out to loosen the buttons on his collar.
Wen Yu adjusted her skirt gracefully before sitting down gently.
Lin Zhiyue was the last to take a seat and pulled her chair towards the table.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Lang couldn't wait to put his elbows on the table, leaned forward, looked at Lin Zhiyue and asked curiously: "Yueyue, where did you go today? You looked so happy to come back, you must have gone to a lot of fun places, right?"
Grandma Lin also smiled and looked at Lin Zhiyue, her eyes full of concern, and she softly echoed: "Yes, dear granddaughter, tell grandma quickly, where have you been?"
Lin Weidong picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and cast an inquiring look.
Wen Yuze helped everyone serve the food while smiling and saying, "Let Yueyue eat first, don't ask too quickly."
But there is also expectation for the answer in his eyes.
Lin Zhiyue took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Wen Yu with a smile, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. After chewing it carefully and swallowing it, she spoke: "We went to the Friendship Store today. There are so many things there!"
"Friendship Store?"
Lin Weidong raised his eyebrows slightly and put down the teacup in his hand.
"That place is not ordinary. You can only buy things with overseas remittance coupons. How did you kids get in?"
Lin Zhiyue then recounted the story of how she met Han Yizhi by chance and how she entered the store with his help.
Lin Lang listened with great interest and couldn't help but interrupt: "Han Yizhi is quite a loyal guy! So what good things did you buy in there?"
Lin Zhiyue introduced enthusiastically: "I bought clothes for you, and picked out a lot of interesting gadgets for myself. By the way, I also saw a lot of antiques in the craft area, and the prices were very cheap."
At this point, her expression became serious. "I thought these cultural relics would be very valuable in the future, so I spent more than 200 yuan to buy all the ones I liked. I didn't want them to fall into the hands of foreigners."
Grandma Lin opened her mouth in surprise: "More than two hundred yuan is not a small amount, Yue girl, where did you get so much money?"
Lin Zhiyue winked playfully: "Grandma, I have a lot of money. I studied computers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences before, and the country gave me a reward! I have been saving it. And this money is worth spending, it will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
Lin Weidong pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's rare that Yueyue has this kind of thought. Protecting cultural relics is a good thing. However, you should discuss it with your family before making a decision in the future."
Lin Lang came over and said, "Girl, what cultural relics have you bought? Show me now. Maybe I can benefit from them in the future and make a small fortune from these treasures."
Wen Yu smiled and patted Lin Lang's arm: "I knew you were thinking about these. But Yueyue, you must have good taste."
Grandma Lin's eyes were smiling into two crescent moons. While picking up food for Lin Zhiyue, she looked at her granddaughter with a smile and said slowly, "Where are we going to play tomorrow?"
Lin Zhiyue was eating braised pork with her head down. When she heard her grandmother's words, she raised her head instantly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and quickly replied, "Tomorrow we are going to climb the Great Wall."
Grandma Lin smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. She raised her head, looked at her granddaughter with gentle eyes, and said, "Okay, then have fun. Look at you, you've been busy all the time and haven't really relaxed."
Lin Zhiyue felt her grandmother's concern and said, "Okay, Grandma, I understand!"
The family chatted animatedly with each other, and the dinner table was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.
