Chapter 279 It’s exactly the same as Liang Xiulan said
Jiang Jinzhou returned home, put his things down, and imitated Liang Xiulan's way of speaking to take out his shoes.
"Here! These are the shoes Xiulan bought for my dad."
He thought that Xue Shuzhen would be as happy as Liu Guizhi when she heard this.
But Xue Shuzhen took the shoes without even looking at them and immediately frowned.
"Giving shoes during Chinese New Year? What does that mean?"
Jiang Jinzhou was surprised: "What do you mean? I saw a pair of shoes and bought them."
Xue Shuzhen said angrily, "Young man, you really don't know any etiquette. Giving shoes as a gift is like sending someone off to his grave!"
"She gave your dad shoes during Chinese New Year. Was she trying to curse him to die early? What's her intention?"
Jiang Jinzhou had never heard of this saying, and he never expected that his momentary kindness would lead to such a result.
How can buying shoes with good intentions turn into a funeral gift?
I'm really upset...
He took a deep breath, silently picked up the shoes, and returned to his room.
No need to give it to him, he can just wear it himself.
When I returned to my room, I saw that his room had not been tidied yet and he was still using the quilt from early autumn.
He folded the quilt and put it in the cabinet, took off the sheets, wiped the headboard and other furniture, and went out to ask Xue Shuzhen for a thick quilt.
"Give me a winter quilt."
Xue Shuzhen was looking at the live fish that Jiang Jinzhou brought back. When she heard what he said, she went to the side room and got him a thick quilt.
He reached out to take it, but Xue Shuzhen dodged his hand and said, "This quilt needs a quilt cover. If you don't know how to put it on, I'll do it!"
He is almost thirty years old, but in his mother's eyes, he can't even put on a quilt cover.
Is this pampering him, or looking down on him?
The two of them went into Jiang Jinzhou's room together. Xue Shuzhen brought a quilt from her own room and put it on while asking, "Did you buy that fish?"
Jiang Jinzhou put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the table, and responded lightly: "Hmm..."
"I bought a live fish. Can you kill it?"
Jiang Jinzhou counted his fingers and said nonchalantly, "No."
"No, why don't you ask the stall owner to kill the fish and then bring it back? Every time I buy fish, I kill it before I bring it back. It would be too much trouble to go back myself."
"You also have to scrape the scales off the fish. After you kill them, the whole yard is filled with a fishy smell that takes several days to clear."
Jiang Jinzhou looked annoyed: "If you think it's troublesome, then don't eat it."
After saying that, he turned and left the room.
Xue Shuzhen was full of doubts: "Hey... who provoked this kid again?"
"Really? Is this teenage rebellion? You get angry at the slightest thing."
"Isn't it just that I was asked to kill a fish? What did I do wrong?"
She muttered as she adjusted the covers.
After fixing the quilt cover, I went out and saw Jiang Huai coming back with a shovel.
Xue Shuzhen hurried over and took the iron hoe: "Is this really a holiday?"
Jiang Huai nodded: "Yes, it's really a holiday. I will go back to work on the fifth day of the New Year."
"Oh, that's fine. By the way, Jinzhou bought you a pair of shoes. Try them on later."
"Buy shoes? Hehe...this kid, why did you think of buying shoes for me?"
He was naturally happy when his son bought him shoes.
Xue Shuzhen pulled him aside and whispered, "He said Liang Xiulan bought them for him. It's New Year's Day, and she bought you a pair of shoes. How unlucky!"
Jiang Huai glanced at her unhappily.
"Look at you, you bought me a child out of kindness. What's unlucky about that? Stop with your feudal superstitions."
Xue Shuzhen curled her lips and didn't respond to him. She walked quickly into the main room and pretended to be happy.
"Jinzhou, your dad is back. Didn't you buy him a pair of shoes? Take them out and let him try them on."
Jiang Jinzhou ate some melon seeds and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say it was for funerals? It's better not to try it."
Xue Shuzhen smacked her lips. "Tsk! You kid, I was just saying it casually, why did you take it so seriously?"
"Your father said that this was a token of Xiulan's love, and he was very happy.
Hurry up and take it out for him to try. If it fits, he can wear it during the New Year. If it doesn't fit, find someone to exchange it for it tomorrow, otherwise they won't be open after the 28th."
Jiang Jinzhou spat out the melon seed shells, got up reluctantly, went into the house to get the shoes out, and put them on the table.
Jiang Huai washed his face and changed his clothes in the house.
Xue Shuzhen's first words after opening the box were, "Why did you buy a pair of black shoes? They'll get dirty if you take them out for a walk."
Jiang Jinzhou frowned, it was exactly the same as what Liang Xiulan said.
Jiang Huai said as he put on his cotton-padded jacket, "What's black? Let me see."
Xue Shuzhen held the shoes with a frown on her face: "Look at the color! It's not even as good as the Liberation shoes on your feet."
Jiang Huai took the shoes and looked at them: "What do you know? These are called sneakers, they are branded and they are very comfortable to wear. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"I know. I mean, this color doesn't last long."
"It doesn't matter whether it's dirt-resistant or not. We wear it on our feet, and you're the only one who's being picky."
Jiang Huai sat on the chair, took off his shoes, put on new shoes, stepped on the ground, and felt that they were okay.
Xue Shuzhen kept saying, "It's not pretty. This color is really not pretty. It's not as good-looking as the pair of corduroy shoes I bought you."
"Jinzhou, where did you buy it? Let's go exchange it tomorrow. Are there any colors left?"
Jiang Jinzhou suppressed his anger and said to Jiang Huai, "Well, it doesn't look good. Take it off first."
Jiang Huai looked left and right, and muttered softly: "Isn't it good looking? I think it's pretty good."
But he still obediently took off his shoes.
Jiang Jinzhou took the shoes and placed them at his feet, took off his own shoes, put them on, and found them to be quite comfortable.
So he put on the other one, stood up and took two steps.
"It doesn't look good on you, but it does look good on me!"
"I won't be home for dinner tonight, so you guys eat!"
After saying that, he picked up his old shoes, threw them into the shoe box and went back to the house.
He slammed the door shut and walked into the yard.
The fish was still in the bag in the basin, and he carried the bag directly out the door.
He started the car and stepped on the accelerator to Hu Dabiao's house.
At this time, Hu Dabiao was having dinner with Liang Xiujuan at home.
Seeing him carrying a black plastic bag, I was a little surprised: "Why are you here? What are you holding?"
Jiang Jinzhou opened the bag and asked, "How's the New Year's shopping going? Are you short of fish?"
Hu Dabiao stamped his feet and said, "Oh, I bought everything except fish. How come you understand me so well? Hurry up, hurry up..."
He took the fish, picked up a small basin, and was about to pour it out when Jiang Jinzhou reminded him, "It's alive!"
So he quickly changed to a larger basin and filled it with water.
"Xiujuan... hurry up and bring the kids out to see the fish. They're alive! They're big!"
Liang Xiujuan put down her chopsticks and came out holding the child.
"Brother Jinzhou, why are you here?"
Jiang Jinzhou forced a smile and said, "I'm bored at home, so I came out for a walk."
Hu Dabiao stood up and took the child. "Okay! I'll go buy a bottle of good wine and we can have a couple of drinks."
