"Son, why did you buy so many things?"
As she was speaking, Jia Zhang saw the chicken, fish and meat in Jia Dongsheng's hands. Her eyes widened and she asked in disbelief.
"That's nothing. Look what that is."
Jia Dongsheng smiled indifferently, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the bicycle.
"What?"
Jia Zhang took great effort to divert her eyes from the chicken and fish. She looked in the direction of Jia Dongsheng's finger and saw a brand new bicycle.
“This…this…this…”
Jia Zhang looked at the bicycle, then at Jia Dongsheng, then at the bicycle again, and then at Jia Dongsheng again. Her lips trembled, and she opened her mouth several times, but couldn't say a word.
"Mom, don't be too excited. This is nothing." Jia Dongsheng quickly comforted her.
"This, this is nothing, this is a bicycle, the first bicycle in our yard,"
Jia Zhang's voice was still trembling. After saying a word, she quickly walked to the bicycle and looked at it carefully.
"Dongsheng, is this a new bicycle?"
After looking for a long time, Jia Zhang finally realized that this car was a new one.
"Yes, of course if you buy a bicycle, you should buy a new one."
"Where did you get the bicycle ticket?" Jia Zhang asked curiously.
"Yesterday I was looking for a friend to help me find a job. He saw that I was going to work, so he gave me a ticket and asked me to buy a bicycle."
At this point, Jia Dongsheng clapped his hands together, startling Jia Zhang: "What are you doing? You're so jumpy, are you trying to scare your mother to death?"
"Hehe, I just remembered something." Jia Dongsheng smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect to scare Jia Zhang.
"What did you remember?"
"What do you think this is?"
Jia Dongsheng lifted the clothes on his wrist, revealing a brand new watch.
"watch?"
Jia Zhang's heart, which had just calmed down, became excited again: "Is it a new watch too?"
"Of course it's new."
Jia Dongsheng said as a matter of course: "It's not just watches and bicycles, look at this."
He took out the radio again and put it in Jia Zhang's hand: "If you find it boring to mend shoe soles in the future, just listen to the radio. There are some interesting songs and crosstalk and storytelling on it."
"Radio, bicycle, watch?"
Jia Zhang was once again so excited that she was speechless. She had been married into the Jia family for decades, but nothing had ever made her as excited as what happened today.
You know, after living in the Jia family for so many years, the total assets accumulated were just a sewing machine, but the eldest son just came back a few days ago, and the three turned and rang it all.
"No, no," Jia Zhang muttered tremblingly, making Jia Dongsheng curious: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Son, you are so capable. I must hurry up and find you a wife."
"Looking for a wife?"
Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. As the saying goes, adding a child is like importing a child. Let's wait until my sister-in-law gives birth to the child. Then we can discuss my getting married."
"That's fine too. Your sister-in-law is going to give birth in one or two months anyway."
Hearing Jia Dongsheng say this, Jia Zhang nodded, then looked at the bicycle again and found that it was a little dusty, which made her feel very distressed.
"Why is there so much dust? I'll get a basin of water and wipe the bike clean."
As she spoke, she hurried into the house to get the basin. At this moment, there was no trace of her usual laziness on Jia Zhang's face.
"hehe."
Shaking his head helplessly, Jia Dongsheng also entered the house. Xiao Danger was sitting on the kang, playing with a piece of rag. There were not many toys in that era, so he could play with a piece of rag for several days.
Qin Huairu was still busy at her sewing machine. When she saw Jia Dongsheng come in, she quickly stood up and greeted him, "Dongsheng, you're back?"
"Well, sister-in-law, it will take more than a few days to finish these clothes. Don't get too tired."
"Hey, it's okay. This is nothing."
Qin Huairu smiled indifferently. It’s no wonder that her smile was quite attractive in Jia Dongsheng’s eyes.
But this is my sister-in-law, I can’t have any bad thoughts!
Jia Dongsheng warned himself mentally, then said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to treat a few of the elders in our compound and Sha Zhu to a meal tonight to thank them for taking care of our family. I'm going to cook later, so please help invite them when the time comes."
"Hey, it's not a big deal. I'll leave it to my sister-in-law." Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Dongsheng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No need, sister-in-law."
Jia Dongsheng refused: "You just need to eat later. A few dishes can be prepared in a short time."
"What kind of dishes are you making? Do you need me to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something?"
"No need. I'm going to make a chicken stewed with mushrooms, a braised fish, a stir-fried pork, a pan-fried egg, some shredded potatoes, and some cabbage with sesame sauce. That's six dishes, three meat and three vegetable, is that all right?"
Qin Huairu listened to Jia Dongsheng's muttering and looked at him with more and more surprise. There was chicken, fish, and meat. It was better than what we ate during the Chinese New Year!
"Dongsheng is really capable. I need to let Banggeng learn more from Dongsheng. He will definitely be just as capable when he grows up."
Qin Huairu was thinking about something, but her mouth was not idle either. She continued to ask: "What about the wine you guys are drinking? Are you ready?"
