After the May Day holiday, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
One weekend, the women in the family left their children with the two men and went shopping together. There were more and more people doing business on the streets, and several clothing stores had opened.
The purpose of the women coming out today is to buy clothes, especially skirts.
Now when you walk on the street, you can clearly see that the policy has changed. Girls wear clothes in more styles and brighter colors. Walking on the road, they are quite an eye-catching sight.
"Let's go to Xidan North Street. I heard that there are a lot of new clothing stores there. Many clothes are from Hong Kong. Let's go and take a look!"
In order to go shopping this time, Wen's mother has done a lot of preparation. She hasn't bought clothes for her daughter in so many years, so she has to buy her a few pieces today!
"Okay, let's go wherever my sister says!" Yang Chunhua has saved a lot of money in the past few years, but after coming to Beijing, her daughter-in-law and in-laws didn't let them spend a penny. Today, she will buy some more nice clothes for her daughter-in-law!
Wang Xiaomei: What about me?
After they determined their destination, they excitedly took the bus. Before leaving home, they had already told the two men at home that they would not be back at noon, so they asked them to take the children out for a meal. Anyway, there was a new restaurant not far from the alley, and the food was quite good!
By the time the women finished shopping and returned home, it was already evening.
"Oh, this is the first time I feel so tiring after shopping!" As soon as Yang Chunhua returned home, she sat on the stone bench in the yard without moving. The four women came back carrying more than a dozen bags.
"Old woman, are you not going to celebrate?" Wang Fugui exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the bags Yang Chunhua was carrying.
"Yes, that's enough. From now on, I will only wear clothes and not eat!" Yang Chunhua said this unhappily. Then, she saw from the corner of her eye that Father Wen had already poured a glass of water for Mother Wen. She was even more furious, "You have no sense at all. Don't you know how to pour a glass of water?"
"Okay, you are the head of the family, I will listen to you," Wang Fugui often strolled around the surrounding streets and alleys during this period. Among other things, he learned several sentences of Beijing dialect.
Wen Nuan and Wang Xiaomei, who were sitting on the side, watched the interaction between Wang's father and mother and smiled foolishly.
After the women recovered, they quickly prepared dinner. After dinner, they sat on the stone bench in the front yard and began to divide today's spoils.
Wen Nuan had the biggest gain today. She bought four skirts of different colors and styles, and Wang Xiaomei bought two skirts, a shirt and a skirt.
Mother Wen and Mother Wang each bought a skirt and a set of artificial cotton suits.
Then I bought two sets of clothes for Wen's father and Wang's father respectively.
Finally, it was for the three children, especially Xiuxiu. Mother Wen bought six sets of little dresses at once, finally satisfying her wish to dress up her little girls.
After the clothes were distributed, Wen Nuan suggested that everyone try them on. First, several women went back to the room to try them on. Father Wen and the much more tactful Father Wang praised them highly, making the women, especially Mother Wen and Mother Wang, smile from ear to ear.
Finally, they tried it on a few children. The boys were all taken by Wen's father and Wang's father, while Xiuxiu was directly pulled into the arms of Wen's mother and Wang's mother. They changed clothes one after another, and became more and more excited. Finally, Wang's father and Wen's father, who had finished changing clothes for the boys, simply joined in.
The clothing show lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening. Even the only two grown men, Mr. Wen and Mr. Wang, changed into new clothes and showed off.
In the end, the whole family fell asleep with smiles on their faces!
Early on Monday morning, some went to work, some went to school, and finally only Mr. and Mrs. Wang and their three little ones were left at home. Before leaving, Wen Nuan and Wang Xiaomei said that there were club activities at school today and they would not be back at noon.
So, at noon, just as the noodles cooked by Wang's father and mother were ready to eat with the children, they heard a knock on the door.
The Queen Mother called the King's Father to open the door in the kitchen.
"Who is it? Didn't Xiao Nuan and her in-laws say they wouldn't be back for lunch today?" Wang's father asked Wang's mother in confusion.
"How would I know? I don't have X-ray vision. You can go and take a look, and then you'll know!" said the Queen Mother as she served herself some noodles.
"Coming! Coming!" Wang's father shouted as he walked towards the gate.
“Construction?!”
Outside the door was Wang Jianshe, whom I hadn’t seen for more than three months!
"Dad!" Wang Jianshe, who had become much darker, grinned and smiled, showing his big white teeth when he saw that it was Wang Fugui who opened the door.
"Hey, Jianshe, why are you here? Come in, come in!" Wang Fugui was so happy to see that it was his son that he quickly opened the door to let his son in.
"I'm on vacation, so I came over!"
Wang Jianshe said as he walked into the yard carrying a small army green bag. After entering the yard, he looked around and said, "Where is my mother? Where are Xiao Nuan and the children?"
"Your mother and the children are in the kitchen. Xiao Nuan has gone to school. There is some activity at school today, so she won't be back at noon. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law won't be back at noon either," Wang Fugui said as he led his son to the kitchen.
"Old lady, look who's here!"
"This old man, don't you know I'm busy? What is he yelling about?"
Yang Chunhua, who was drying noodles for the children, grumbled, but still stood up and looked out of the kitchen. When she looked out, her chopsticks fell to the ground, "Jianshe?!"
"mother!"
"Hey, Jianshe, why are you back? Are you on vacation?" Yang Chunhua quickly stepped forward and took her son's hand, looking at him carefully, "You've become thinner and darker!"
Wang Jianshe obediently let his mother look at him, and at the same time he kept glancing at the three little kids lying by the door.
"Zhuangzhuang, Xiuxiu, Feifei, Daddy is back!" After Yang Chunhua finished taking a look at them, Wang Jianshe walked up to the three little ones and spoke softly.
After not seeing each other for more than three months, Zhuangzhuang and Xiuxiu looked at Wang Jianshe, who looked a little strange, and then looked at Feifei. Feifei rolled her eyes secretly, then opened her arms and ran towards Wang Jianshe, shouting, "Dad!"
"Hey!" Wang Jianshe happily hugged Feifei who rushed over to him, then looked at Zhuangzhuang and Xiuxiu. When Zhuangzhuang and Xiuxiu saw Feifei calling "Dad", they quickly followed suit and called "Dad" and rushed into Wang Jianshe's arms.
Wang Jianshe hugged his child tightly, whom he hadn't seen for more than three months, and his eyes felt a little sour.
Looking at the four fathers and sons hugging each other, Yang Chunhua wiped her slightly moist eyes and said loudly, "Okay, okay, you father and son can hug each other after dinner. If you don't eat, the noodles will clump together!"
After saying that, he pushed Wang Fugui and asked him to prepare dinner for his son and grandchildren. He then quickly went to the stove to cook another big bowl of noodles for his son and put two poached eggs in it.
After dinner, it was time for the three little ones to take a nap. During just this one meal, the three little ones had become familiar with their dad and were clamoring to take a nap with him.
Wang Jianshe took a quick shower and went back to the main house to take a nap with the children. The three excited little ones fell asleep more than an hour later than usual.
The four of them, father and son, lay in bed together and fell asleep...
