Chen Man looked at her grandmother and smiled, "Grandma, does it look good?"
Grandma smiled and said, "It looks good. You are fair-skinned and pretty. You look good in anything you wear."
Chen Man chuckled, "Then I'll give it a try."
Take off your kitten-heeled sandals and put on white plastic pearl slippers.
Chen Man was actually amazed by her own feet.
She has fair skin and beautiful feet. The pearl embellishment in the middle of her sandals gives her a retro beauty.
I stepped on it twice and it was quite comfortable to wear.
"Boss, how much is it?"
"25."
"25!" Chen Man was stunned.
The proprietress quickly said, "If you really want it, 22."
She thought Chen Man thought it was too expensive, while Chen Man thought it was too cheap.
But she immediately realized that the flip-flops in the supermarket were about the same price, so 25 was about the same.
"Boss, I want to buy two pairs. Can you give me a few more dollars off?"
The lady boss said straightforwardly, "Sure, two pairs for 40."
"Okay, one pair in size 37 and one pair in size 36."
A red plastic bag contained two pairs of slippers. Chen Man held them in her hands, but they didn't look like new shoes at all. They looked more like fish she'd bought at the market.
Further down, there were vendors selling other items: small snack stalls, hot sauce vendors, dough vendors, pesticide vendors... and even health supplement scammers with loud speakers who were making a fuss.
There are very few young people on the street, only elderly people and left-behind women holding their grandchildren.
Chen Man pushed her grandmother back and bought a few pounds of strawberries, blueberries, kiwis and cherries at the fruit stall.
Just this cost Chen Man more than three hundred yuan.
"Oh my God, this little bit is more than three hundred! Buying some meat will be enough to last for a long time. More than three hundred can buy more than a dozen watermelons." Grandma looked at the things in Chen Man's hand and cried out in pain.
"Well, just consider this as a lesson learned. Next time, I'll just buy watermelon. Really, I didn't know it was so expensive." Chen Man coaxed her grandmother, and her painful look showed that she really cared about the money.
On the way back, I bought some poop for my grandma, which she had been missing for a long time.
I went to the market again and bought some meat, a fish, mushrooms, carrots and cabbage.
The wheelchair was almost full and the bags were stuffed to the brim.
Chen Man pushed her grandmother back.
"Grandma, do you want to buy anything else?"
"I don't have anything to buy. I bought so much. I spent about 500 or 600 yuan today. Wow, I really spend money like that."
"Grandma, this money can't be brought into this world and can't be taken away from this world. My mom used to only think about my education and marriage, and she didn't want to buy anything for herself. I didn't expect that she would pass away before she even saw me get married. What's the point of keeping this money? I really wish she could have bought whatever she wanted and eaten whatever she wanted."
Grandma was silent for a while and then nodded slightly.
Chen Man suddenly regretted what she had just said. She shouldn't have mentioned her mother. She really regretted it!
She bit the soft flesh in her mouth with self-blame, pretending to be happy, "Grandma, let's buy two popsicles and eat them while we walk."
Grandma also forced a smile and said, "Yes."
The depressing atmosphere was finally broken when grandma met her little sisters again.
Chen Man bought a popsicle for each of the old ladies who were returning with her.
While eating popsicles, I slowly pushed my grandmother's wheel back, listening to the conversation of several old ladies and watching the cows grazing in the harvested rice fields next to me.
There were people on the road returning from the market who passed them, and there were also people who brushed past them on the way.
