"Okay, I understand, Mom. Don't worry, I won't go again."
Seeing Dong Xiulan's worry, Lin Qing shyly hugged Dong Xiulan's arm and shook it, then said in a coquettish tone.
Seeing this, Dong Xiulan shook her head helplessly: "Fine, you're married now and have a child. You should be more sensible. Our family doesn't lack these things. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of these empty words."
"Okay, I understand, Mom. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lin Qing nodded and said that she didn't plan to go to the black market again this time anyway, and today's decision was made on the spur of the moment. In order not to worry her mother, she decided not to go to the black market again before leaving.
Of course, she would still go to the black market in Beijing. After all, it's not easy to go to Beijing, so how could she not check out the black market?
Gu Nanxun, watching Lin Qing's round, darting eyes, knew exactly what she was up to. He smiled but said nothing.
Lin Yunfeng was standing nearby. He had originally wanted to ask Lin Qing about the black market when Dong Xiulan mentioned it, but seeing Dong Xiulan lecturing Lin Qing, he didn't dare to ask anymore.
In the evening, while having dinner, Lin Jianguo remembered the event that Gu Nanxun had mentioned to him at noon.
He coughed and then said to Lin Yunfeng, "Yunfeng, you and Zhao Xi need to be careful when you go out these days. There are going to be some events soon, so if you run into each other, don't go over there or you might get caught up in something."
Lin Yunfeng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this: "Dad, what activity?"
"What other activities could they possibly have? Those people are always looking for trouble, criticizing this person and that person..."
Lin Jianguo didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Yunfeng already understood what he meant. He nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, Dad, I understand. I'll be careful."
Zhao Xi nodded in agreement.
After dinner, everyone went back to rest.
...
The next morning, when Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun got up, Lin Jianguo had already gone to work, and Lin Yunfeng and Zhao Xi had also gone out to meet their friends.
After finishing breakfast, the two looked at each other, and Gu Nanxun asked Lin Qing with a smile, "Where are we going today?"
Lin Qing lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the scrap metal recycling station! I wanted to go yesterday, but I was in a bad mood and didn't go."
Gu Nanxun nodded and said, "Okay!"
So the two handed Gu Nianqing over to Dong Xiulan and then went out.
Before leaving, Dong Xiulan added with concern, "Don't go to the black market, understand?"
Lin Qing stood at attention and said earnestly, "Okay, I definitely won't go."
After saying that, she grabbed Gu Nanxun and ran out of the house.
"This child..."
Watching Lin Qing's retreating figure, Dong Xiulan shook her head helplessly and said, "Nianqing, be good. Don't be like your mother in the future, so unreliable."
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun stepped out of their house onto the street. In the early morning, the air was filled with the faint scent of dew, giving a refreshing feeling. The trees on both sides of the street appeared exceptionally green in the morning light, and occasionally a few early birds sang merrily on the branches.
The two weren't in a hurry and strolled along at a leisurely pace. When they passed the credit union, Lin Qing even signed in on a whim.
"System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and received 150 RMB. Would you like to claim it?"
"receive!"
Holding the 15 ten-yuan bills in her hand, Lin Qing said to Gu Nanxun with a grin, "It's been so long since I've signed at the bank, I really miss it!"
Gu Nanxun smiled and squeezed Lin Qing's hand, then suggested, "How about we sign another one when we pass by the department store later?"
Lin Qing nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Okay, how about we each sign one later!"
The two walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the department store.
Lin Qing smiled and glanced at Gu Nanxun, then said, "System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and received a Spring Festival couplet. Would you like to claim it?"
"receive!"
Lin Qing looked at the Spring Festival couplets in her hand, her face darkening.
"Pfft..."
Lin Qing's expression made Gu Nanxun burst out laughing. Seeing the look in Lin Qing's eyes, Gu Nanxun quickly stopped laughing and reached out to rub Lin Qing's head: "It's okay, we don't need to buy Spring Festival couplets for the New Year."
Lin Qing slapped Gu Nanxun's arm hard in displeasure: "It's your turn, hurry up and sign in!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun suppressed a laugh with a straight face and then said to the system, "System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, master, you have successfully checked in and received a television set. Would you like to claim it?"
"Do not collect it for now!"
Gu Nanxun said.
"A television? Brother Nanxun, does the department store have a television?"
Lin Qing asked curiously, if she remembered correctly, there were probably not even 10,000 television sets in the whole country, so how could the department store in front of her have television sets?
A young man who was about to enter the department store overheard their conversation and couldn't help but interject, "Are you here to watch TV too?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Does the department store really have televisions? We heard it from others, and we still can't believe it."
"Yes, that's right. I have a relative who works at a department store. They just got their hands on a TV yesterday, and a lot of people are coming to see it today!"
The young man said excitedly to Lin Qing, and then he couldn't wait to walk into the department store. He had to get in early and find a good spot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see anything. He had heard that there were many people on the TV, and that they would perform and sing, but unfortunately he had never seen it before!
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance, and then followed each other into the department store.
As soon as they entered the department store, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun were so crowded that they almost lost their balance.
Following the flow of people, they saw a television set placed on a high platform in the center of the first floor. The television screen was displaying a black and white image. Although the picture quality was not clear, it still attracted everyone's attention.
The people around craned their necks, their eyes glued to the screen, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement.
"Wow, this is a TV! It's huge!" an elderly woman next to Lin Qing exclaimed in amazement.
