Chapter 9: First Meeting (2 / 2)



Yan Fangming took out a pair of brand new women's leather shoes from his luggage bag. They were obviously worth a lot of money, and Wu Xiaoying liked them at first sight.

"Why did you buy me leather shoes, kid? I already have shoes to wear, you are just wasting money!

Where did you buy this? Can I return it?

She really cares about money. This pair of shoes must have cost twenty or thirty yuan. She walks on muddy ground every day, so even the best shoes would be wasted.

Yan Fangming had expected her to say this, "You can't return it after you buy it. It didn't cost much. Shoes are meant to be worn. You can wear them when the weather gets colder."

"You kid, don't buy anything from now on! You haven't married yet, you can't be so extravagant!"

Yan Fangming nodded and listened, "Okay, I'll remember that."

Wu Xiaoying smiled with satisfaction and touched the shoes in her hand lovingly, "Then let me try?"

"Let's try it."

She found a pair of clean socks from the box, then sat on a stool and took off her patched cloth shoes and socks. After changing her socks, she began to try on shoes.

"That's right, you're thoughtful."

Wu Xiaoying was very happy. This child was filial and even remembered her shoe size.

Yan Fangming said, "Get up and take a few steps to see."

Wu Xiaoying stood up and walked back and forth in the room a few steps. The shoes fit her feet well and were comfortable to walk in.

"Very good, following you closely!"

Xiang Nuan said flatteringly, "Aunt, these shoes suit you very well. They look good."

Wu Xiaoying smiled happily, took two more steps, then quickly took it off, wiped it clean and put it away, planning to wear it when she went out to sit at a banquet in the fall.

"Hey, Nuannuan, I didn't know you were at home, so I didn't prepare any for you. This is the peach cake I bought at the city supply and marketing cooperative. You can keep it for yourself."

Yan Fangming took out another bag of peach cakes from his bag. Xiang Nuan could smell the fragrance coming from them even through the oil paper. She remembered that her mother often bought them for her when she was a child. Later, when she grew up and ate more delicious food, she gradually disliked this stuff. Now, she even felt a little greedy when she smelled the aroma.

But she was too embarrassed to ask for it, and there was no shortage in the space, so she smiled and waved her hand, "No need, Brother Fang Ming, leave it for Shuangxi to eat."

"And what else? You're welcome."

Yan Fangming did not miss the fleeting greed in her eyes just now, and stuffed it into her hand without saying a word.

"Take it, you are not a stranger."

Wu Xiaoying also smiled and asked her to accept it, so Xiang Nuan stopped being pretentious and accepted it happily.

"Thank you, Brother Fang Ming."

Yan Fangming smiled and took out the gifts for Shuangxi and Yan Mancang. Soon Shuangxi pulled her father into the house.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for almost two years, and they missed each other very much, but it was unrealistic for two grown men to hug each other and talk to each other. Yan Mancang just smiled and walked over to pat his son's shoulder, tears flashing in his eyes, "Okay, you've become stronger. How long can you stay after this trip?"

Every time his son came back, he counted the days, feeling happy and sad.

"I can stay for six or seven days."

Yan Fangming also felt sad. He hadn't been back for two years and felt that his father had aged a lot, with more white hair on both sides of his head.

Yan Mancang nodded, then sat cross-legged on the kang. Yan Fangming brought over the cigarettes, alcohol and leather shoes he had bought for him.

"Dad, this is all to honor you."

Yan Mancang looked at the things on the kang and expressed his satisfaction, as they were all his favorites.

Like Wu Xiaoying, he complained a few words and told her not to spend money recklessly, and then happily accepted it.

In addition to some food, Shuangxi's gift also included a skirt. Although this girl is usually naughty, she also loves beauty. She couldn't take her eyes off the skirt and kept asking to try it on.

"Eat first, I'll be waiting for you. After dinner, take a shower and try again."

Wu Xiaoying disliked that she was dirty after working hard all day.

"All right."

Shuangxi didn't want to dirty her skirt, so she agreed.

As always, Shuangxi was the one who livened up the atmosphere at the dinner table. She kept talking about what happened today, which did not delay her meal at all. The adults also said a few words from time to time, and the meal was very comfortable and warm.
