Although the elders have already bought all the pots, pans, and utensils, there are still many daily necessities that they need to consider.
Ji Qingzhou nodded and looked around carefully.
"It's nothing big. I'll make a list of what we need and tell the salesperson when we get there this afternoon. Oh, and prepare your tickets."
In addition to toothbrushes and toothpaste, you also need to buy more towels and basins.
Ji Qingzhou also wanted to buy two pieces of cloth to make a sofa cover for the sofa at home.
"Okay, I'll prepare these. I'll get you some paper and pen."
From the toilet paper needed, to soap and bath towels, and some seasonings needed, Ji Qingzhou wrote down everything in detail.
In the afternoon, when the department store opened, the two of them arrived almost on time.
But there was already a queue at the counter for hot-selling products.
Judging from the time, self-service supermarkets will probably be available next year, and now they are still using the old marketing model.
You need a coupon to buy anything. The salesperson will only give the item to the customer after you have the coupon and money.
Even in the previous life, Ji Qingzhou hadn't seen her for a long time. When she suddenly returned to the past, she just found it interesting. Although it was a bit troublesome, everyone was very orderly.
Every time they bought something, Ji Qingzhou would take a pen and tick off a mark in the notebook.
There were many people in the department store, and Xie Yanbei was afraid that Ji Qingzhou would be squeezed by others, so he always carefully held her in his arms.
The woman queuing up to buy cloth nearby saw this and jokingly said, "Young people nowadays are so good. The young couples are so in love with each other. My old man doesn't know how to care for others so much."
Ji Qingzhou blushed slightly. She wanted to avoid Xie Yanbei's arms, but Xie Yanbei hugged her even tighter.
"My wife is pregnant and not feeling well. I apologize in advance if this has affected anyone."
Xie Yanbei's attitude was sincere. Although he was a grown man, he spoke in an approachable manner. He did not make people feel disgusted, nor did he make people feel uncomfortable showing his affection in public.
For a moment, the unmarried girls became even more envious.
After buying things in big and small bags, Xie Yanbei's hands were already full.
"How about I help you carry some of the daily necessities? They're not too heavy."
Ji Qingzhou's hands were empty, and every look from passersby was filled with inquiry.
Xie Yanbei rejected her without hesitation.
"You're already weak, and you've walked such a long way. These things aren't light, and I can carry them. How can you take your wife out shopping and have her carry them?"
Ji Qingzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Ever since they knew she was pregnant, her whole family treated her like a porcelain doll, almost burning a stick of incense to worship her.
When the two of them got home, Ye Lanqing just came back with the meat he bought from the vegetable market.
"You're back. I went to the market today and saw some very fresh meat. You two have been working hard lately. Take this opportunity to rest and replenish your energy. Is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?"
Ji Qingzhou glanced at the kitchen and saw that there were still a lot of dishes left over from lunch.
It’s not even time for dinner yet, but Ye Lanqing has already started getting busy.
"Mom, you don't have to work so hard every day. We two young people can make do with each other. You can buy more of your favorite food and take care of your body."
Ji Qingzhou was always worried that Ye Lanqing would feel uncomfortable after coming to the capital.
Although the expected things never happened, it was not her original intention to let Ye Lanqing run around every day like an old nanny.
Ye Lanqing didn't mind, but was very happy.
She sat on the sofa and showed Ji Qingzhou the small clothes she bought for her child.
"You don't have to worry about me. When I was young, I had to work in the fields and do housework, take care of the children and serve my parents-in-law. I got through that time. Now I just have to cook and wash clothes. It won't tire me out."
When she talked about her current life, her face was flushed, as if new life had been injected into her.
"I'm old and always worried about being a burden to you. Now I can help you, even if it's just cooking or cleaning, I feel that I have a sense of existence. Once people are idle, they will feel useless."
As she spoke, she took out the clothes she had bought.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Look, I don't know if you're having a boy or a girl, so I bought you a blue dress and a pink dress. They look cute, and the clothing seller said the fabric is good."
Ji Qingzhou was a little amused and helpless. Since they knew she was pregnant, many people had given her clothes for the baby.
However, what Ye Lanqing gave this time really touched his heart.
She had one blue dress and one pink dress, and it just so happened that she was pregnant with two babies.
"Thank you, Mom. When the baby is born, I will make sure he takes good care of grandma."
Perhaps thinking of the joy of family life in the future, Ye Lanqing laughed heartily: "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for my grandchildren to come out."
"Mom, it's still early. You should go inside and rest for a while. Qingzhou and I will arrange the things we bought."
Ye Lanqing glanced out the window. The yard was clean and tidy, perfect for growing some vegetables.
"Then you two clean up first. I'll go take a look in the yard. Qingzhou, do you think it's better to plant some flowers or vegetables in our yard?"
Ji Qingzhou followed her gaze and thought that if this yard was filled with flowers, it would be very beautiful when they bloomed in the summer.
But older people still think that vegetables are more practical.
"Mom, we still have a backyard. I think it would be more beautiful if we plant some flowers in the front yard so that people come and go. When Ayan and I reclaim the backyard, we will plant some vegetables. Then we can eat fresh vegetables."
Ye Lanqing's eyebrows lit up with joy: "You're right, we still have a backyard. I thought so too. We can make the front yard beautiful and grow some vegetables in the backyard so that we can eat them without worry."
After she finished speaking, she was about to stand up. Ye Lanqing was an impatient person. If he thought of something, he would do it immediately.
"Then you two go ahead and do your work. I'll go take a look in the backyard."
Ji Qingzhou was a little confused, and stopped her with a look of both laughter and tears: "Mom, although the weather is getting warmer now, spring has just ended. If we reclaim the land now, it will be left uncultivated for a while. There is no rush. We can do these things when the weather gets warmer."
Xie Yanbei knows Ye Lanqing's personality best.
He took out the vases and flowers he had bought and placed them on the table one by one.
Waiting for Ji Qingzhou to find a suitable place for them.
