Buying New Year's goods
On the 28th, Qin Wenli rode his bicycle to Sancha Township to set up a stall.
After dinner, Yang Xiu and Hu Yufeng took Qin Wenzhen's tricycle to go to the market.
Originally, Hu Yufeng only asked Qin Wenli to buy it with her.
The night before, Yang Xiu mentioned to Qin Wenli that her mother-in-law had not been out for half a year, so why not take this opportunity to let her go out for a walk.
The two of them discussed it and sought Hu Yufeng's opinion the next day. She was happy from the bottom of her heart that her son and daughter-in-law thought of her, so she didn't refuse.
It is also a pleasure to be able to ride on Qin Wenzhen’s tricycle.
In the morning, Chen Xiulian showed off to Hu Yufeng: "Our Wen Zheng drove me there, but I said I didn't want to go, but he insisted that I go out to relax. Second Aunt, are you going to the market today? Otherwise, let Wen Zheng give you a ride."
Hu Yufeng was impatient and wanted to scold, but when she heard this, her frown relaxed: "That's great, Xiu'er and I are worried about how to go, so we can rely on your family!"
Seeing Chen Xiulian dumbfounded, Hu Yufeng was in a good mood and called out loudly:
"Xiu, your aunt is kind enough to give us a ride, so hurry up and pack your things. You can't let them wait for you..."
Yang Xiu responded in the yard.
Hu Yufeng looked at Chen Xiulian with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, tell Wen Zheng to wait, we will be here soon..."
Chen Xiulian looked as if she had eaten shit and turned around angrily.
In the car, Chen Xiulian had a gloomy face, while Hu Yufeng was smiling.
Qin Wenzhen met a few people from the same village on the road, and he stopped the car to pick them up.
Li Wuniang greeted them, "Hey, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I haven't seen you two go out for a long time. Are you both going out today?"
Hu Yufeng smiled and said, "Xiu'er asked me to go shopping. I was originally hesitant, but now my sister-in-law invited me to go with her in her car, so I went with her to take a look..."
Chen Xiulian's face was distorted.
Li Wuniang poked Hu Yufeng and asked, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Hu Yufeng just pretended not to understand: "Maybe it's because of the cold..."
"Yeah, it feels colder this year than in previous years..."
The car stopped, Hu Yufeng got out, said goodbye to a few people, and went to Qin Wenli's stall with Yang Xiu.
This day was the last big market before the New Year. People who came to the market were shoulder to shoulder, and the faces of adults and children were filled with joy.
The stall was crowded with people coming to exchange tofu, and Qin Wenli had no time to greet his mother.
Seeing this, Yang Xiu hurried over to help.
Taking advantage of the time when there were few people around, Qin Wenli said, "Mom, you and Xiu'er go shopping. I can do it alone."
Hu Yufeng and Yang Xiu accompanied them into the crowd.
Hu Yufeng hadn't been to the market for a long time, and she was happy to see the lively scene.
In front of the firecracker stall. Hu Yufeng looked at the small fireworks and asked the price.
The stall owner introduced enthusiastically: "Big sister, this is called a ground mouse. It circles on the ground when it is lit. I'm sure your grandson will like it if you buy one..."
Hu Yufeng looked at them one by one, picked out two large and four small ones, and also asked for a plate of cannons and a string of firecrackers.
In front of the lantern stall. The red lanterns are particularly beautiful.
Hu Yufeng stopped to ask the price, and finally picked a medium-sized one and gave it to Yang Xiu to carry.
In front of the clothing stall. Hu Yufeng pointed at the children's winter clothes and asked the price.
I ordered two sets, one red and one blue.
In front of the shoe stall. Hu Yufeng compared them carefully, asked Yang Xiu to try them out, and bought two pairs of small leather shoes.
Hu Yufeng was happy to buy, but Yang Xiu felt bad for spending the money...
When Qin Wenli finished mailing the bicycle and came over, he saw his mother standing in front of him with great enthusiasm, and his wife standing behind him with lots of bags and a complicated look on her face.
"Mom, have you bought everything?"
Before Hu Yufeng could answer, Yang Xiu said with resentment: "We didn't buy any at home, but bought a lot for the children. I tried to persuade her but she didn't listen..."
Qin Wenli was also stunned when he heard this.
"Mom, you can't spoil the child too much. It would be great if you could keep this money and buy yourself some clothes."
Yang Xiu agreed with his expression.
Hu Yufeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "I just love giving flowers to children. They are wearing bright clothes, and it makes me happy to see them wearing them!"
Qin Wenli had no choice but to change the subject after hearing this, "Let's go buy the things we listed yesterday, just in case they're sold out later."
"Okay, let's buy the couplets first. We can't read, otherwise we would have bought them just now."
The three of them came to the couplet stall. Qin Wenli quickly picked out six pairs of couplets, and Hu Yufeng also picked out a few door gods.
After visiting several stalls, Hu Yufeng said, "Shall we go buy the remaining ones from your uncle?"
Qin Wenli and Yang Xiu had no objection, and the family came to Lao Zhao's supply and marketing store.
There were crowds of people inside. Hu Yufeng looked at it and said, let’s wait.
Seeing that there were fewer people, the three of them hurried in.
As soon as Hu Yufeng entered the door, she shouted, "Uncle, how are you?"
Old Zhao was very happy to see his niece. He stuffed a handful of candy into each of them and said, "Okay, everything is fine. I was also asking about Wenli. I haven't seen you for a few months, and I see you today."
"I'm too busy at home to leave, otherwise I would have come to see you earlier." Hu Yufeng replied.
Old Zhao pointed at Yang Xiu and said, "Is this Wenli's wife?"
Yang Xiu hurriedly stood up and called out, "Hello, Uncle."
"Oh, good, you're a good boy, sit down quickly..." Old Zhao praised with a smile.
"I see that you look much more energetic and even have a smile on your face." Old Zhao said to Hu Yufeng.
"I've had less to worry about in the past six months. Wenli and his wife can rely on each other, so I'm too lazy to worry about them." Hu Yufeng also smiled.
"Wenli is a good boy, I hope you are happy. Have you gone back to see your elder brother? I heard that he has been coaxed by someone again recently..." Old Zhao said with concern.
Hu Yufeng shook her head: "No, Wenli didn't see him when he went to deliver meat before the New Year. He didn't listen to what Yulan said, he just went out to hang out with others..." Hu Yufeng couldn't help but frowned and sighed: "I'll talk to him again in the first month of the year. Maybe we can send him to a nursing home..."
Old Zhao also sighed and said, "This is also a solution..."
Qin Wenli and the other two listened quietly.
Seeing more people coming, Hu Yufeng thought of something important and said, "Uncle, give me three pounds of peanuts and melon seeds, and some sugar..."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhao installed it and refused to take any money.
Hu Yufeng pretended to be angry and said, "If you're like this, I'll buy it somewhere else. It's OK if I don't pay. The goods are imported, not dropped from the sky."
The people around also started to make a noise: "Hurry up and take it. Look, your niece is angry."
Lao Zhao took the money and said, "Okay, I'll take the money. But next time, you are not allowed to buy from other stores."
Hu Yufeng laughed out loud when she heard that.
Old Zhao joked as he took out a bag and put some snacks in it: "Bring some snacks for the two children."
Seeing that Qin Wenli was about to refuse, he said with a straight face: "This is what my great grandfather gave to the children, not for you. If you are thoughtful, bring the two children next time."
Several people expressed their gratitude again before saying goodbye.
On the way back, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still took Qin Wenzhen's car. People in the car were chattering, and they got home quickly.
Qin Yu couldn't wait to come over and asked questions non-stop.
Hu Yufeng was originally worried about her eldest brother's affairs, and seeing the two children also distracted her a lot.
She took the initiative to hold Qin Shu and play with him.
Yang Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
