"Are you going?"
Lin Han looked at Huang Quanxiu expressionlessly.
"Go, go, go." Huang Quanxiu walked with force and breath.
Shen Qingli and Meng Kexin happened to be walking towards this side. Huang Quanxiu watched them walk to Ye Qiu with smiles on their faces. One of them put his arm around Ye Qiu's arm, and put a watch on his wrist on each side.
"Mom, which one do you like?"
Ye Qiu was not shy. She was of course happy about her daughter-in-law's kindness. At worst, she could go home and give her some money. She then began to watch carefully:
"I think the one on the right is good. It's simple and elegant."
Shen Qingli raised his chin towards Meng Kexin:
"See? You lose. Buy me some candied haws later."
"What did you lose?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"My sister-in-law and I made a bet about whose style you like better. The loser has to buy three candied haws for the three of us to enjoy."
Meng Kexin smiled and took off the watch she had chosen and handed it back to the salesperson standing next to her.
Of course, Shen Qingli had money to buy candied haws. She just saw that Meng Kexin was a little bored and wanted to divert her attention.
"Hello, I'd like to ask where you bought your clothes. They're very beautiful. I like them very much."
Lin Han saw her mother-in-law standing there like a fool for a long time, then she walked up to Shen Qingli and asked with a smile.
"The clothes are made of fabric from Xiangcheng. We made them at home."
"Ah? Is that so? Okay then."
Lin Han felt a little lost
"Do you have any extra ones? Can you sell me one? I really like it."
Huang Quanxiu, standing by, was stunned. When had her daughter-in-law ever spoken so gently? She even begged Ye Qiu's daughter for a piece of clothing!
No! Absolutely not!
She walked up to Lin Han and pulled him: "What kind of clothes are there in the department store? What are you doing? It's embarrassing."
She raised her voice slightly as she spoke, as if deliberately trying to get Ye Qiu to hear: "You're too young to understand. Only poor people with no money would make their own clothes."
Ye Qiu sneered: "You really haven't changed at all in all these years."
Shen Qingli also stopped smiling slightly: "I'm sorry, mainly because your family doesn't seem to like clothes made by poor people, so I can't give you one."
Lin Han understood what she meant, that there was more, but because of what her mother-in-law said, people were unwilling to give her any.
After her mother-in-law said that, she was too embarrassed to ask Shen Qingli again. She said sorry and glared at her mother-in-law fiercely before walking away in her little leather shoes. How embarrassing!
Huang Quanxiu shouted, "Why are you leaving? You're not buying a watch anymore? Hey?"
"Mom, I think this watch is perfect for you.
Hello, how much is this watch? Please check out."
Shen Qingli's clear and concise words made Huang Quanxiu turn her head and look at her twice. Oh, she had lowered her head to help Ye Qiu put on the watch and didn't see it clearly just now, but now she could see it clearly.
Ye Qiu's daughter? How could she be so beautiful? Even pregnant, she was still so beautiful!
"Sister-in-law, you, as a daughter-in-law, are so nice to your mother-in-law." Meng Kexin said it on purpose for Huang Quanxiu to hear.
Only then did she realize that this beautiful girl with a big belly was Ye Qiu's daughter-in-law, and she was so generous. Look at her, and then look at the one in her own family, really!
Too embarrassed to stay any longer! Huang Quanxiu also left in a hurry.
Meng Kexin winked at Shen Qingli, who snorted in disdain. She couldn't stand the way this kind of person hit her and ignored her, so she left.
"Comrade, 230 yuan for a watch ticket. Please count it." Shen Qingli handed over the money.
A few people were strolling around slowly, buying some pretty baby clothes!
Shen Qingli is wearing comfortable canvas shoes, buy!
Milk powder, buy!
Baby swaddle, buy!
Handmade pastries and snacks, buy!
Soft cloth, buy!
Rattle, buy!
…………
It wasn't until dinner time that the three of them returned with a cart full of loot. Women really love shopping, no matter how old they are.
I turned a corner on the way and sent Meng Kexin home. She had to go to work tomorrow, and the supply and marketing cooperative was far away from the old house, which was inconvenient.
When I got back, I heard the old man say that the in-laws, the Shen family, called today and said they would come to see their daughter tomorrow.
The smile on Shen Qingli's face widened a little, and he sat down on the sofa and called his parents back.
Ye Qiu helped Aunt Zhang in the kitchen.
"Madam, have you bought a new watch? This doesn't look like the one your husband gave you before." Aunt Zhang took a few glances and said in surprise.
It was no wonder that she was surprised. Ye Qiu had only worn one watch for all these years. That watch was a gift from Meng Jianjun. He would only take it off in the winter when it was too cold. He treated it very preciously at other times.
"Is it nice? My daughter-in-law gave it to me. I told her I didn't want it, but she insisted on buying it for me. I couldn't stop her."
Ye Qiu couldn't close his mouth, and the happiness in his eyes was beyond words.
"Only the one bought by the young lady can allow you to replace that watch."
"By the way, Sister Zhang, please prepare more dishes tomorrow. Don't be vague. This is the first time my in-laws are coming home."
Ye Qiu explained and thought for a moment:
"I'll call and ask the second brother's family to come over for dinner tomorrow. I'll probably have to trouble you to work harder in the next few days. Come up with something nutritious and delicious for Qingli. I'll give you a raise then."
Aunt Zhang was recruited by Ye Qiu, and her salary has always been paid by Ye Qiu, including food and accommodation. The salary of 50 yuan per month is not low, and is slightly higher than that of ordinary workers.
"Look at what you said, what salary increase? Isn't this what we should do? Madam, you are being too formal. Even if you don't increase the salary, I will still take good care of Xiao Shen."
Aunt Zhang became a little anxious as she spoke.
"Don't worry, I mean you'll have to help out after the baby is born. It'll be a bit busier than before, but this is my little token of my appreciation."
………
"Take these country eggs with you, and don't forget the old hen and quail. I bought them specially from your Aunt Li today.
And don’t forget these diaper sheets, tiger-head shoes, malted milk for your in-laws, and all the other things you’ve prepared!
Take it and put it here first. We can pick it up tomorrow morning and leave directly. Or put it in the car first. "Grandma Shen was busy asking Shen Ping to carry the things. The family was going to see their granddaughter tomorrow, and they wanted to take all the good things with them.
"Don't give them orders, they know what's going on. Sit down and take a rest." Grandpa Shen felt helpless as he watched her busying around.
"Drink your tea and leave me alone."
The ending tone was slightly elongated, with a hint of annoyance. Although Grandma Shen was old, she had been spoiled and loved by Grandpa Shen all her life, and she still had some little girl's temper.
"Mom, do we have to wait until the baby is one month old before giving him the safety locks? I asked my colleague about this." Gigi Lai was holding two safety locks in her hands. They looked quite heavy. She had melted a lot of her dowry gold jewelry to make them.
Although I feel a little sad, I am willing to give it to my own children no matter how much it is!
