Chapter 407 Silly Gao Shufang
The next day, not only Luo Xiaohua went to the county, but Gao Yuanjian also went with him.
His reason was that if Shufang was willing to spend money to buy a TV, then she couldn't bring it back alone.
They rode Gao Mingpeng's bicycle, which was a relatively tall 28-bar bicycle with a good load capacity. Gao Yuanjian rode in front and Luo Xiaohua sat behind.
The winter wind blows on my face, making my skin hurt.
Luo Xiaohua rubbed his cheeks with his hands, thinking that he had to go to the county to buy a bottle of moisturizer, otherwise the wind would hurt his face.
When they arrived at the county, Gao Yuanjian did not park his bicycle in front of Gao Mingcheng's store, but about fifty meters away.
Luo Xiaohua had been to Gao Mingcheng's store before, but that was a long time ago. Now seeing the magnificently decorated Xinxin clothing store, he felt a little timid for a moment.
She looked at Gao Yuanjian.
Gao Yuan looked embarrassed when he saw her, and said in a low voice: "You go, I won't go."
He had quarreled with Gao Mingcheng, and now he went to Gao Mingcheng's door first, which was equivalent to him, the father, apologizing to his son first, which made Gao Yuanjian feel embarrassed.
Another thing is that he felt awkward asking his daughter to pay for the TV.
Luo Xiaohua felt a little timid, but seeing that Gao Yuanjian was unwilling to go in, and he had already come, she took a deep breath and went in with high spirits.
She thought to herself, I am Gao Mingcheng's mother, how could Gao Mingcheng dare not let her in?
Besides, she was going to find her daughter!
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaohua felt more confident and walked with more confidence.
When she came, it was ten o'clock in the morning, which was a busy time for the store. Many customers were choosing clothes in the store.
Since it is impossible to display all the clothes in the store, sometimes I have to go to the warehouse on the third floor to get the goods down from time to time.
Gao Mingcheng will be the one to do the running around, while Gao Shufang and Luo Li just need to focus on selling clothes.
When Luo Xiaohua came in, Gao Shufang had just sold a piece of clothing and was seeing the customer out with a smile.
"Mom? Why are you here?" Gao Shufang was surprised when she saw Luo Xiaohua. Then she quickly turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her second brother was not in the store.
Her second brother once told her that harmony brings wealth, and quarreling is the most taboo in doing business.
So she was worried that her mother would quarrel with her second brother in the store.
So she took Luo Xiaohua's hand and walked out. As she walked, she turned back and said to Luo Li in the store: "I'm going out to do something. If you're too busy, you can call my second brother down!"
Luo Li had never met Luo Xiaohua and didn't know the relationship between them, but she agreed.
Luo Xiaohua was pulled out of the store by Gao Shufang's hand. He felt a little unhappy and had a gloomy face.
Gao Shufang noticed it, smiled embarrassedly, and explained: "There are customers in the store, so it's inconvenient to talk. That's why I pulled you outside. Mom, why are you here? Are you here alone? Did you ride a bicycle or take the bus?"
It is said that daughters are the warmest and most caring children of their parents. Compared with her careless sons, Gao Shufang does care about her parents more.
In the past, when she was not capable, she would silently help Luo Xiaohua share the housework at home, including washing clothes, cooking, making fire and cleaning. She did all these tasks.
Later, when she became able to afford it, she never forgot to buy things for her parents and give them money.
Gao Mingcheng had originally intended to put the second-hand black-and-white TV he brought back from Gao Guobing at home in Niuweiling for viewing, but Gao Shufang helped him get it to give to his parents.
Her heart is filled with her parents.
Compared to Gao Mingcheng's embarrassing situation at home, Gao Shufang is actually much better off than him. Gao Shufang is the youngest child and the only daughter in the family. Although she is not given great attention, her treatment is certainly not too bad.
Therefore, Gao Shufang thought about her parents especially and did not feel alienated from them.
Although Luo Xiaohua was somewhat dissatisfied, she really didn't want to stay in Lao Er's shop. It would make her feel uncomfortable, as if she had delivered herself to the door.
She led Gao Shufang to where Gao Yuanjian parked his bicycle. Gao Yuanjian parked his bicycle against the wall and just took out a pack of cigarettes, ready to light it up.
Gao Shufang was very happy to see Gao Yuanjian, and immediately shouted: "Dad, you are here in the county too! Are you here for something?"
Gao Yuanjian smiled but said nothing. Instead, he continued to light the cigarette with the match in his hand and started smoking.
Gao Shufang noticed that the atmosphere was not right, rolled her eyes, and said softly, "Mom and Dad, are you here to see Xiao Xuxu? My second brother's son has been named Gao Xu. We call him Xiao Xuxu."
At this point in time, this is all Gao Shufang can think of.
That's true. After all, I have a grandson now. How can I not miss going to see him?
She was thinking in a good mood, but then her eyes fell on the bicycle and the smile on her face froze instantly.
The bicycle was empty, without a single gift.
The most common gifts they give to mothers during the confinement period are chickens and eggs. At the very least, they can give a bag of brown sugar or a pound of pork.
Ordinary relatives and friends will not come empty-handed when visiting a newborn, let alone the grandparents.
Maybe he doesn’t have any at home and plans to go to the county to buy one?
Gao Shufang instinctively found an excuse for her parents.
She decided to take her parents shopping. Just as she was about to speak, her mother said, "We are here to look for you. Shufang, tell me the truth, how much money do you have on you now?"
Gao Shufang didn't understand what her mother said at once, so she reached into her pocket and took out all the money in it.
The money in her pocket was naturally not much. Gao Shufang counted it and said, "There are eight dollars!"
Luo Xiaohua laughed angrily. Was he pretending to be stupid in front of her?
"I'm asking how much money you have in total! Your second brother smashed the TV at home. There's not much farm work to do now, and you guys are not at home. Your father, your grandmother and I are all at home, so we can only stare blankly. We wanted to buy a TV, but we didn't save much money last year, and we haven't sold pigs or rice this year. In addition, we also held a wedding banquet for your third brother, so we don't have much money at home and can't buy a TV."
"Shufang, if you have money, buy your parents a TV to watch!"
This time, Luo Xiaohua made his point clear and thorough.
Gao Shufang didn't expect that her parents came to her for this matter.
If it was a small amount of money, Gao Shufang would agree without hesitation, but the money to buy a TV is not a small amount!
Gao Shufang hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end she was still very considerate and filial, so she asked: "Mom, how much money do we have at home? How much is still missing?"
"Why are you asking this?" Luo Xiaohua frowned instinctively and didn't want to answer this question.
Gao Yuanjian said at this time: "There are more than 200 yuan in the family. Originally, after selling the pigs or making more wine, we would have enough money to buy a TV. But your mother wanted to buy it earlier. The last time she watched a TV series, she watched halfway through and didn't know what was in the rest. She has been thinking about it for a long time."
"Shufang, if you don't have money, we can wait a few months before buying it."
After hearing what her father said, Gao Shufang, who was originally hesitant, made up her mind.
She immediately said, "Okay, then you guys pay 200 yuan. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it!"
"We need these two hundred yuan for family use..." Luo Xiaohua said. She hoped that Gao Shufang would pay for the TV alone.
But before he could finish his words, Gao Yuanjian stopped him and said, "I make wine every day now, and I earn money every day! Shufang is a child, even if she has money, how can she have so much money!"
Gao Shufang felt warm in her heart. She felt that her father was indeed a good father when he was not drinking.
Her mother isn't a bad person, she's just uneducated, so she doesn't speak as logically as her father, and sometimes she even seems brainless.
Gao Yuanjian glared at Luo Xiaohua, and Luo Xiaohua stopped talking.
Because they had more than 200 yuan at home, which was enough to buy a TV. But after buying the TV, there was not much left, so Luo Xiaohua set his sights on Gao Shufang.
Gao Shufang, who was unaware of the situation, didn't think too much about it, but said happily: "Mom and Dad, wait for me, I'll go back to get the money, and then we'll go to the store together to choose a TV!"
Having said that, she ran happily back to the clothing store.
Because there were many customers at the moment, Luo Li called Gao Mingcheng down to help.
Seeing Gao Shufang coming back briskly, Gao Mingcheng was about to ask her where she had been.
As a result, Gao Shufang said first: "Second brother, I have something to do later, please give me an hour off!"
Having said that, without caring about Gao Mingcheng's reaction, he ran to the second floor like a gust of wind, took the money and left.
She didn't tell her second brother that her parents were coming.
Because she knew that her parents came empty-handed and had no intention of visiting her second brother's children.
In this case, it’s better not to let my second brother know.
