After breakfast, we went straight to the department store. Many of the things sold in the department stores in Shanghai are from Hong Kong and abroad. Apart from anything else, the styles and designs of the clothes are very bold and avant-garde. I have to say that fashion is really a cycle!
Walking from the first floor to the sixth floor, Shen An Ning looked at her cousin-in-law and cousin who were killing people indiscriminately. She and her sister Shen Anxuan really couldn't stop them at all.
Everyone was shopping normally, but for some reason, in the end, Shen Anning and Shen Anxuan followed their cousin and cousin-in-law and became bag-carrying girls, with a bag hooked on each finger. Walking behind the two shopaholics, the two sisters were so tired that they could hardly walk. Physical fatigue might be only one aspect, and mental fatigue was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
When Qin Wan looked back, she was amused by the expressions of Shen Anning and Shen Anxuan, "What's wrong with you two? It's too funny. Can't you carry such a small thing? We still have one floor to explore."
Shen An Ning put the bag down. If there weren't so many people around, she would have sat down. "My sister, you didn't see how long we've been shopping. From the first floor to here, we didn't miss a single store. It's been several hours, don't you know? You and your sister-in-law are really only responsible for buying, not taking. You two swept through every store in the front without caring about the life and death of An Xuan and me!"
Xiao Chuchu smiled and picked up the bag on the ground, and helped Shen Anning stand up straight, “Oh, there is no such opportunity in Beijing. It’s been a long time since I had the fun of shopping.”
Qin Wan looked at her watch. It was almost eleven o'clock without her realizing it. "Oh, I didn't realize it was already this late. Okay, okay, let's find a place to eat something and call home to have Uncle Wu drive over and take these things back."
After putting away the shopping spoils, several people went straight to the Peace Hotel. They had eight-treasure duck, fried shrimp, braised pork, braised catfish, sweet and sour spare ribs... It had been a long time since they had eaten Shanghai cuisine, and the energy consumed in the morning was really a bit too much. Shen An Ning ate two bowls of rice before putting down her chopsticks in satisfaction.
While eating the sweet and sour spare ribs, Shen Anning took a bite and said, "Hmm, this taste feels like if it were replaced with pork, it would be almost the same as the sweet and sour pork in the Northeast, An Xuan, right?"
Shen Anxuan ate without raising his head and agreed: "Yeah, both are sweet and sour, I like it. Xixi didn't wake up this morning, let's bring her over to eat tomorrow, she will definitely like it too."
After a day of hanging out, Uncle Wu had brought back the morning's spoils. The four girls still had large and small bags with them when they returned home, and their appearance had changed a lot!
The doors are all closed because we are afraid of mosquitoes.
Hearing the knock on the door, Mother Shen, who was sitting on the sofa, hugged Peanut and said, "Oh, baby, it must be your mother and the others who are back. Let's go and see what Mom bought for us to eat, okay?"
Little Peanut looked at the people who came in, and the little hand that had just been stretched out retracted silently. He looked at his grandmother with confusion in his eyes.
Looking at his sister and brother rushing over, he was even more confused. He stretched out his hand to stop them, screaming "Ahhh", and was almost dying of anxiety.
Mother Shen looked at the people with big wavy hair, new clothes and makeup, and was also surprised. "They look really good. This dress is perfect for you guys, and it goes with this makeup. Yeah, you should dress up more like this in the future. When we were in Beijing, I said you all looked good. You guys are too plain every day. But An Xuan, why did you get a perm and bangs?"
Shen Anxuan looked regretful and put the delicious food he bought for the children on the table. "I originally wanted to get a big wave perm, but the perm artist said that the curls would last for a year. I was afraid that it would be too unique when I went to school, so I asked him to perm my hair with only tails and bangs."
Shen Anning and her cousin's wife and sister all had big curly waves, which looked particularly good. They also saw that kind of curly hairstyle this afternoon, but several people felt that they couldn't control it.
Shen Anning persuaded her mother, "Mom, you and your aunt should go get a perm someday. The technician we went to today has good skills. You and your aunt can get those small curls, starting from the back half of your hair. It will look good if you curl half of your head."
"Okay, your aunt and I will go and take a look some other day, but first you take a look at my eldest grandson. The little guy won't recognize you with all the makeup and permed hair."
"Little Peanut."
"Baby."
"Don't you recognize your mother?"
It was still a familiar voice. Peanut smiled embarrassedly, and after thinking about it, he hugged Shen Anning's neck. He really didn't recognize that this was his mother at first glance.
Shen Anning patted the little guy on the back, "Hey, hey, are you stupid? Mommy put on makeup today, you don't recognize me, right?"
It's just the same voice as his mother's. There's not much change in his appearance, except that he has become more beautiful. In his mother's arms, little Peanut plays with his mother's special hair and touches his own two-inch long lanugo. He is very curious.
They stayed in Shanghai for more than half a month. Every day, the strong female group took their younger brothers out to develop the market, while the middle-aged and elderly group was responsible for taking the children at home to play everywhere. Qin's uncle also got a small boat, and when he had nothing to do and the weather was good, he would take the children to play on the sea.
In this way, both the elderly group who likes fishing and the children group who likes to play are satisfied.
At the end of July, headlines across the country were all about our country’s shooting athletes winning their first gold medal at the Olympics!
From having only two people participating in the Olympics in 1932, being laughed at and humiliated, to being independent and strong today, the meaning of this first gold medal to China is very, very different.
