Chapter 31 Chapter 31
The two kids really felt that their aunt was angry. When they walked into the supermarket, they were listless and had no enthusiasm to pick out toys and snacks. They lowered their heads and racked their brains to think of how to make their aunt happier.
Suddenly, a small handcart appeared in front of them.
The cubs all looked up, puzzled.
Yueqing lifted the handle of the cart and handed it to them: "Put everything you want in it."
The last time she came to the supermarket, she discovered that the two kids were too short. If they pushed the big cart by themselves, they would have difficulty putting things in even if they had to stand on tiptoe. They would prefer a smaller cart that could be pulled by hand and wasn't too high, which would be just right for them to play with.
Little Lejia: "Isn't your aunt angry?"
Yueqing was at a loss for words. Why did she keep calling her cousin?
But she was not angry. She had some blood relationship with her cousin, but she had no blood relationship with the two children. What's wrong with calling them cousin? What's more, the children knew nothing and learned it from Director Tan.
"My cousin is not as close as my aunt," she explained to the children.
oh! ! !
No wonder my aunt is angry!
"I'm sorry." Little Le Jia lowered her head after realizing what was happening, her hands clasping the edge of the armrest. "I didn't mean to, Auntie. I wanted to kiss you."
"Yeah, we are closer than Brother Xuxu."
Yueqing hummed.
The children seemed to be a little more possessive of her than she had imagined.
Perhaps it is not as easy to replace as previously thought. For a moment, Yueqing himself could not tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of people coming and going in the supermarket. It’s not as casual as before.
The two kids who wanted to go buy toys couldn't move their feet for a long time, especially the little sister, who tugged at her aunt's clothes and refused to move forward: "Aunt, let's go together."
Yue Qing noticed her reservedness and suddenly remembered the two cubs' completely different ways of getting along with outsiders.
Meibao is bolder when her brother is around, but seems like a little quail when her brother is not around. This may be related to the lack of education from the original owner in the past. They rarely come into contact with strangers, let alone communicate with people around them.
Although everyone has different personalities, being too introverted is not a good thing.
After thinking for a few seconds, Yueqing pulled the corner of his clothes out of Meibao's little hand.
Facing Meibao's uneasy gaze, she squatted down and said softly, "Auntie can accompany you to buy toys, but today I want to ask you for a favor."
Auntie wants to help! Meibao, who has always wanted to share the pressure for Auntie, immediately nodded: "Auntie said!"
Yueqing pulled up her own memo. Actually, she didn't have much experience in celebrating the Chinese New Year. She had searched online for the necessary New Year supplies to prepare in case someone came to visit her home. Although she didn't think anyone would come, it was still good to prepare for her two children.
"I don't know where a few things are. Can you help me find them?"
Although they are still afraid, children are most easily controlled by a sense of mission, especially when they feel they are very powerful. They will not hesitate: "Yeah!"
Yue Qing picked out some lighter items: "Sister, please help your aunt find a pair of Spring Festival couplets and three blessing characters. Brother, please help your aunt find a pound each of milk candy, crispy sugar, candy, and chocolate, okay?"
The kids remember: "Okay!"
Then he took his aunt's hand and left.
But Yue Qing remained standing still and pointed at the supermarket guide: "You have to rely on your own ability to find it. If you can't find it, you can ask the uncles and aunts who wear that kind of clothes."
Xiao Le'an began to shrink back again: "Auntie isn't going?"
"Auntie has other things to buy," Yueqing said, "so I asked you to help me so we can go home early for dinner."
It seems so.
The uneducated kids have been fooled again.
"You two go together." Yue Qing folded the two children's hands together. "It's up to you to decide whether to go shopping with your brother first or with your sister first. I'll come to find you after I've bought the goods."
The babies never thought about the loophole in their aunt's words. How would they find their aunt after they bought the item?
They were now completely distracted by what they were going to do next.
Fortunately, little Le Jia is a good worker. He was not at all flustered by going shopping alone. Instead, he consciously took on the task of taking care of his sister. He pulled the cart with one hand and held his sister's hand with the other: "Sister, let's go together."
Xiao Le'an was still a little hesitant.
Yue Qing said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, brother and sister."
This sentence instantly gave the two kids a boost of enthusiasm. No matter whether they succeeded or not, they would always answer, "It's not hard!"
Then I set off with an inexplicable sense of impulse and pride.
Yueqing did not follow them immediately, but planned to keep a suitable distance to ensure their safety and prevent the children from feeling that they were being taken care of by their elders.
In fact, the children are still young, so they can develop social skills slowly. At worst, when they return to their father, there will be someone to teach them.
But now Yueqing wants to teach the children to the best of her ability while she can fulfill her responsibilities, so that the children will not be disappointed in calling her aunt for so long.
As she was thinking, she saw the cubs who had already walked a few steps away turned back.
This speed of giving up was a little faster than Yue Qing expected. She asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Aunt?" Meibao held up her finger. "What are you buying?"
"A pair of couplets and three blessing characters." Yue Qing repeated to her, "Brother, buy one pound each of toffee, crispy sugar, candy, and chocolate."
"Oh!" Meibao suddenly realized, counted on her fingers to make sure she remembered clearly, then turned around and walked away, muttering as she walked: "One call and one nian, three hu characters."
Walked a few steps.
"One is called nian, three is called zi."
Originally, little Le Jia was able to help his sister remember some of the things, but after taking a few steps, he became confused and subconsciously asked the system uncle for help: "Uncle, I want to buy a milk candy pig... What kind of candy is pig?"
In the past, when it came to things that needed to be remembered very clearly, his uncle would remember them for him and repeat them to him over and over again. He usually relied on his uncle. His ability to express himself was much better than his sister's, but it was so strange today.
"Oh no, I can't remember it either. Think about it yourself." The system pretended to be stupid.
It must be difficult if even my uncle can’t remember it!
With this interruption, little Le Jia couldn't count on his fingers anymore: "Milk... milk candy, pig candy, chocolate candy... huh? One finger is missing."
So Yue Qing stood there for half a minute, and then the two kids came back again: "Auntie, what candy?"
Yue Qing repeated it again, suppressing his laughter.
This time the kids set off with full confidence, counting on their fingers. They must remember it clearly!
In order to take care of his sister, Xiao Lejia wanted to buy her things first: "Ask Auntie where it is?"
He couldn't remember his sister's things.
Meibao clenched her fingers tightly and turned her toes back and forth.
"Be brave." Little Le Jia said seriously, "We have been little heroes before."
Meibao pursed her lips.
The little hero is not afraid of difficulties and can even share the burden with his aunt!
So she mustered up her courage and raised her head: "Auntie~"
There was loud music playing in the supermarket, and the shopping guide didn't hear the small sound at all.
Xiao Le'an's face flushed red, and he stood on tiptoe and said a little louder: "Auntie~Hello~"
The shopping guide heard the voice this time, but she looked around for a long time and couldn't find who was calling her. Until she felt a warm touch on the back of her hand, she lowered her head and found two soft little balls standing next to her.
Wearing a pink and blue scarf, a small hat wrapped around her head, and dragging an empty shopping cart behind her, she is so cute. Now the two little ones are trying to tiptoe to talk to her.
The salesperson leaned over and asked, "What's going on, kid?"
Xiao Le'an spread out her fingers and said, "Auntie, where can I buy a Hu Hu Nian?"
The salesperson's smile froze: "...What?"
Xiao Le'an counted on his fingers carefully for her to see: "One is hu nian, three is 3, then hu."
"..." The shopping guide struggled to understand, but failed. "Do you want me to take you to see your parents?"
"No, we're buying some New Year's Eve for my aunt."
"What is this Yihu Nian?"
"New Year's Eve." Little Le'an didn't understand anything and could only gesture, feeling a little anxious. "A new year's eve is... well, it's..."
What is it?
What did my aunt say? Wow, she remembered it was this!
Fortunately, little Le Jia had a little impression of it, and hesitantly corrected it: "Sister, it seems to be four words, dei years."
The shopping guide finally understood a little: "Are you talking about couplets?"
"Yeah! One call and one answer!"
"A pair of couplets." The salesperson laughed. "Come with me, but do you know what kind of couplets you want to buy?"
Xiao Le'an was very persistent: "Just one call!"
I took my two children to the couplet sales area, and the salesperson pointed to a pile of couplets and said to them, "Here are the couplets. Which one do you want? What words do you want?"
Oh no.
The kids were completely confused. How could they all look the same?
And my sister can’t read!
"Brother, what is this word?"
Little Le Jia stood on tiptoe. The character was bigger than his head and he couldn't understand it. "I know that one!"
When the adults who were buying New Year's goods nearby saw two children who had bought their own couplets, they all looked over curiously and said, "Hey, isn't this Le Jia and Le An?"
The two cubs looked up in confusion, not recognizing this person.
"I've seen your videos online." The girl was pleasantly surprised. "You're here to buy New Year's goods? Where's your aunt?"
Little Le'an didn't say anything, but Little Lejia was a little wary: "Auntie is here, she will come after we buy it."
Hearing this, the girl looked up and around. She spotted Yue Qing standing out in the crowd not far away, and then she understood. She lowered her head and said, "If you don't know what you want to buy, I'll read them out to you. See which one you like. These are all blessings. Just put them on your door on New Year's Day."
Little Le'an looked into the sister's eyes, nodded to his brother, and whispered, "Sister is a good person."
Little Le Jia was relieved: "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome." The girl picked up a few of the better ones, saying, "Good health, a happy family, good fortune and prosperity. Which one would you like?"
The kids can understand some of these words, but if they have to choose.
Little Le Jia said confidently: "It makes a lot of money!"
"This is it, it's for wealth and fortune." The girl took down the couplet and placed it in their small shopping cart. "Anything else you want to buy?"
Meibao held up three little fingers and whispered, "Three threes, a blurry word."
"Well?"
Meibao herself was confused: "Three three, confused word, what three?"
Character?
The girl looked around and suddenly an idea struck her: "Are you talking about the word 'Fu'?"
"Yes!" Xiao Le'an's eyes lit up, "Three three blessing characters!"
"Three blessing characters." The girl picked her up and said, "Take a look and see which one you like. I'll get it for you."
Little Le'an, who had suddenly grown taller and was seen by many people, blushed and finally chose the one with the little animal and said softly, "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome. You're awesome for shopping on your own!"
Wow, my sister is so good at praising herself!
Xiao Le'an's originally nervous mood suddenly became relaxed. She carefully placed the couplets and the blessing characters in the cart, cherishing the things she bought for the first time.
"Brother!" This time she took the initiative to hold her brother's hand, "Let's buy milk~"
Yueqing, who was following behind, couldn't stop laughing after hearing this.
These two kids turned around and said Ma Something Mei.
However, she did not intend to correct the children. Even if they took the wrong thing, she would not say anything and would just put it back. But the children's experience was indispensable.
Fortunately, although Meibao couldn't remember, her brother at least remembered that he was going to buy candy.
He just couldn't remember what kind of candy it was. He was dazzled by the many types here. It turns out there is so much knowledge to learn when buying things!
Unable to remember clearly, he decided to go back and ask his aunt again.
When I turned around, I saw my beautiful and tall aunt in the crowd, and my originally nervous and flustered heart suddenly calmed down.
It turns out my aunt has always been there!
He ran over holding his sister's hand: "Auntie, there are so many kinds, I don't know."
"It's okay." Yue Qing held out her hands to protect the hurriedly running child. "You've done a great job. Not only did you buy the couplets and blessing characters, but you were also able to find candy on your own. I didn't explain it clearly."
On a whim, I forgot to remind the children that there are many brands of candies, and even adults may not know which one to buy, let alone children.
Can't even reach the candy rack.
She picked up the child and asked, "What kind do you want to eat?"
"Can it be this much?" Meibao covered her mouth, tears of envy about to flow out from the corners of her mouth.
The children who can eat so many candies must be very happy!
She likes Chinese New Year and wishes it could be every day!
"Sure." Yue Qing put the child down, took the bag and walked around the shelf to fill up some of the things the children pointed out. They couldn't eat much, but they looked very happy.
The two kids couldn't help much and could only put their little hands on the side of the shelf and stand on tiptoe to watch eagerly.
When my sister got tired of standing on tiptoe, she stood back up and obediently watched over the couplets she had bought.
She must protect it well, this is something she bought herself!
She squatted beside the cart and touched the papers again and again as if they were treasures. When she raised her head again, she could only see pairs of long legs and then dazzling bags.
"Hmm?"
Seeing a big hand reaching into another person's bag, Meibao tilted her head in confusion.
My aunt said that after entering the supermarket, you have to pay before you can take anything, and you can't put other things in your bag.
She raised her eyes and saw an uncle's hand touching someone else's bag, and the uncle was looking left and right.
Then, my uncle looked over.
The eyes of the two, one big and one small, met. The other glared at her and then turned away as if nothing had happened.
But Xiao Le'an suddenly stood up.
She saw in her uncle's eyes that he was a thief! Thieves are bad people.
The little hero Le An will never allow such a thing to happen!
"Brother." Little Le'an grabbed his brother who was still lying next to the candy shelf, "There are bad guys."
Little Le Jia, who also had an overflowing sense of justice, immediately became alert and prepared for battle: "What? Where!"
He still had the toy gun he bought last time in his bag. When he heard his sister's words, he turned around and took out his gun: "Don't be afraid."
"That guy." Xiao Le'an pointed at the man in the crowd who was still touching other people's bags. "He's a thief."
Little Le Jia frowned and pushed his sister and Che Che back: "Be good."
Then he walked up with his small toy gun.
"Le Jia, what are you doing!" The system immediately scolded him in a deep voice, "You can't go by yourself, you have to tell the adults!"
Unfortunately, little Le Jia had already walked to the man. The man had just taken out a mobile phone from the bag of the person next to him when he felt something hit his thigh. He turned around and saw a little boy holding a toy gun against him.
The system started to alarm: "Le Jia, go back!"
Little Lejia was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard Uncle System be so fierce and sound such an alarm.
But it was too late, the bad guy turned around and saw him.
"Don't move!" Little Le Jia shouted before he could react, "Raise your hands!"
man:"……"
The people nearby were attracted by the noise and looked over. The girl whose bag was touched turned around and immediately saw her phone in the man's hand: "What are you doing with my phone? Catch the thief!"
Suddenly everyone around was in chaos.
When the man saw that he was exposed, he turned around and wanted to run, but there was a "little policeman" behind him, so he raised his foot and tried to kick the kid aside.
Before he stretched out his foot to kick anyone, a figure flashed in front of him and picked up the little boy and took him to the side.
Little Le Jia, with his feet in the air, looked up while struggling and saw his aunt with a sullen face.
The aunt seemed even scarier now than before when he heard about his cousin. He let himself be carried obediently, still holding the small pistol in his hand: "Aunt, I caught the bad guy."
Yue Qing didn't have time to listen to how he caught the bad guy. He just wanted to get the child away from the man as soon as possible, and shouted loudly: "Security!"
But now the man was surrounded by a lot of people. He looked at the "culprit" who caused him to be exposed in frustration. Then he looked at the thin arms and legs of the "culprit", who looked like a weak little woman. In anger, he pulled out the knife he had prepared in his bag and rushed forward.
Yue Qing had just picked up the child in her arms when she saw someone rushing towards her out of the corner of her eye. She subconsciously moved sideways to block the child in her arms while dodging to the side.
The knife in the man's hand brushed against her down jacket, and the clothes were scratched while the fluff inside flew out.
Her heart tightened, but there was a child squatting on the ground. She could only use her other hand to pick up the other child, and at the critical moment, she turned around and used her back to block the other child.
The expected pain did not come, but a man's scream like a pig being slaughtered came from behind.
The people around subconsciously moved aside.
Yueqing quickly moved to a safe place, and only then did he have time to look back.
The man who had stolen the phone had been pinned to the ground. The man who was pinning him had his back to Yueqing. He was very tall and was wearing a long brown leather jacket, a gray scarf, and a hat on his head.
It was obvious that he was very agile. Even though the man on the ground had a knife in his hand, he did not hesitate. His two hands landed on the thief's sore spots with precision as if he had no CD. He ignored the thief's cries and moved quickly, fiercely and accurately. In the last move, he directly pinched the thief's wrist, forcing the thief to let go of the knife in his hand because of the pain.
It was not until several other tall men rushed over and pinned the thief down that the man in leather jacket slowly stood up.
The security guard arrived late against the crowd, and the thief was also taken away.
Many people were so frightened that they didn't stay here for long, and the surrounding area suddenly became much more relaxed.
Yue Qing then realized that her arms could no longer support the two children. She hurriedly thanked the man with his back to her and immediately put the children on the ground. "Are you hurt?"
Little Le Jia, who was so brave just now, was already scared and crying. Even though he didn't cry out loud, his tears couldn't stop falling. He didn't look like a little hero at all: "No."
Little Le'an was in a worse condition than his brother. He sobbed and held onto his aunt's hand that was cut by the knife: "Aunt's hair is flying, wuwuwuwuwuwu."
I still remember caring about Mao Fei's departure. It seems that he is fine. Yue Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad that he is fine."
The children were frightened now, and she had no intention of reasoning with them.
"It's okay, the bad guys have been caught, don't cry." Yue Qing took out a tissue to wipe their tears, patted the two babies' backs, and pressed them onto her shoulders. "Auntie is here, I'm fine. Let's go buy toys later, okay?"
Little Lejia hugged his aunt and cried silently for a long time before he stopped shaking. His choked voice was filled with a hint of doubt: "Uncle Black Face?"
What uncle?
Yue Qing turned around and saw that the man in the long leather jacket had not left yet and had turned around.
No wonder the two kids could recognize people. No matter how Mr. Xie wrapped himself up, his temperament, body shape and general outline were easy to recognize.
But today he was still wearing a mask, but not sunglasses. Instead, he was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses with the brim of his hat pulled down very low, so his eyes were not very clear through the lenses.
At this moment, he was taking off the leather gloves he had worn before, and when he heard the children calling him, he nodded.
"Mr. Xie." Yue Qing stood up. "Why are you here?"
Jiang Sui then threw the gloves he took off directly into the supermarket's trash bin and said in a somewhat deep voice, "I live nearby."
What a coincidence?
"Thank you for today." If he hadn't suddenly appeared, Yue Qing felt that he would have been hit. "Are you okay?"
"No." Jiang then moved his fingers. As he had been wearing gloves, his hands were white, but the joints were red, which showed that he had hit someone very hard.
"But..." Yue Qing pointed at his hand, "Your hand is shaking."
And it was shaking at an extremely strange frequency, as if it was out of control.
Jiang Suiyi frowned and said, "Sorry, I need to find the bathroom."
Yueqing usually takes her children out, so whenever she arrives at a place, she will carefully observe the surrounding environment to avoid any emergencies. The last time she came, she had already figured out the basic facilities of this supermarket. Because the nearby high-end residential areas are all large, it is a large supermarket with public restrooms. She pointed in a direction: "It's over there."
"Thanks."
Seeing the other party striding towards the bathroom, Yue Qing thought for a moment, put the weighed candies into the cart, and walked up with the children.
Jiang Sui then washed his hands back and forth many times with hand sanitizer at the sink, then took off his mask and glasses and washed his face before he suppressed the discomfort on his skin. He wiped his hands, raised his eyes and glanced at his disheveled self in the mirror, his fingertips clenched white.
After a long while, he put the mask back on when he heard someone coming in.
"uncle."
Hearing the sound, Jiang Yi paused and turned his head.
Little Le Jia didn't know how long he had been in there, and was looking up at him.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, making sure the child had no other expression except for the red eyes from the shock, Jiang Sui asked, "Why did you get in?"
"Auntie is worried about uncle." Little Le Jia took a step forward and carefully looked at his uncle from head to toe. "Is uncle in pain?"
Yueqing couldn't get into the men's restroom, so he let the child in to take a look.
There was no one else here. Jiang Wei paused for a few seconds before picking up his glasses from the sink and squatting down. "It doesn't hurt."
It’s great that my uncle wasn’t hurt.
Little Lejia wanted to take him out to show his aunt, but at this moment he saw his uncle slowly raise his eyes.
Looking at those eyes, little Le Jia was slow to react for a few seconds.
Uncle’s eyes are so beautiful, I feel like I’ve seen them before.
No, but I have never seen my uncle?
Before Zizi got the answer, he found that his uncle looked at him a little fiercely.
Well, he must have never seen such a fierce uncle.
Little Le Jia subconsciously took a step back.
As soon as I took a step forward, my uncle called out to me, "Stop."
He was a little scared, but subconsciously did not dare to disobey, because he remembered that this uncle was a good man.
"How old are you?"
"Three years old..."
Jiang Suizhi deliberately didn't wear his glasses. Not to mention children, even adults would be a little scared when they saw him without glasses. He nodded twice and raised the brim of his hat slightly: "Haven't you learned that when you encounter bad guys, children can't make decisions on their own?"
this……
Little Le Jia slowly shook his head. He really had never learned it.
The reading machine hasn’t been taught yet, aunt… My aunt has only been well for a short time, and the system uncle hasn’t said anything.
Yes, Uncle System was also very fierce just now.
Now Uncle System doesn’t speak anymore.
Jiang, who had prepared a lot of words to teach the child a lesson, was blocked at this moment.
grass?
Isn’t this item included in Yueqing’s parenting manual?
"Then learn now." He frowned. "You're a three-year-old child. If you encounter bad people, the first thing you need to do is ensure your own safety. You should ask an adult first."
He pointed at the toy gun the child was still holding tightly in his hand, feeling a bit speechless. This child was even more ferocious than he was before. "I can crush three of your guns with one hand, and you still want to beat up the bad guys?"
Crush three?!
Little Le Jia hugged the little pistol tighter.
"Why are you holding a gun?" Jiang Yichui choked, "I'm telling you, don't act tough!"
"Uncle." Little Le Jia said timidly, "This is a small pistol, not an orange gun."
“…”
The first attempt to educate my nephew failed.
"Anyway, next time you can't catch the bad guys on your own, you have to go with your aunt..." Thinking of Yue Qing's situation of one person and two people, Jiang Sui changed his words, "You have to call the police and find other adults. Do you understand?"
Little Lejia felt that what his uncle said made some sense, and nodded confidently: "I will hold my aunt tight."
After a pause of one second, he added, "I will also hold my sister tight."
Jiang Suizhi: "?"
Little Le Jia also looked back innocently: "Do you want to hug anyone else?"
Staring at each other.
Jiang Suiyi grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance. He had never been so annoyed since he took over the company. At least those old guys could still understand what he said.
Is this really Jiang Yan's child? Why does he look so unintelligent?
At this time, the system in Zizi's mind couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't listen to his nonsense, go out and find your aunt."
"Uncle, let's go find my aunt." Little Lejia now listens to Uncle System's words very much. He should have been obedient earlier so that his aunt's clothes would not be damaged again. "Aunt is waiting for you."
Jiang was very frustrated, extremely frustrated.
He couldn't even communicate with a three-year-old child!
Forget it, let’s take it step by step.
It seems he needs to prepare a parenting manual, too.
He put his glasses back on and looked up to meet the child's puzzled gaze: "What?"
"Uncle isn't fierce like this." Little Le Jia said truthfully.
Jiang Suizhi felt like his knee had been hit by an arrow. Although he had deliberately taught his child to be a little fierce, he still felt a little unhappy when he was told this: "You are not afraid of thieves, but you are afraid of me?"
Heartless little thing.
Little Le Jia whispered: "I'm afraid."
"...Okay, please stop talking for now."
"oh."
Walking out of the toilet, Jiang Suizhi saw the particularly eye-catching Yue Qing at a glance.
Because she was frightened just now, my sister urgently needed a sense of security, so she squatted in front of the stroller, and Yueqing had to squat down with her.
So what others see is the child with red eyes and half of his body curled up in the adult's arms. The adult's clothes are torn and his face is a little pale. The big and the small are squatting in the corner pitifully, which makes me feel sorry for them.
Jiang Suizhi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Based on his understanding of Yue Qing over the past period of time, although this person seems to be harmless, she should be quite strong at heart. As the saying goes, "softness overcomes hardness", this is exactly what she is like.
I didn't expect to see this side of her.
Maybe I was really scared.
"Auntie!" Little Le Jia came out and ran over quickly, "I asked, and uncle is not in pain."
Yue Qing stood up upon hearing the sound and saw that Mr. Xie was indeed in much better condition. He must have washed his face, as his hair seemed a little wet. She withdrew her gaze from the man's unusually red hands and said, "I'm glad you're okay. We'll leave first."
Jiang Sui's gaze paused on her clothes for a second: "Yeah."
Order had been restored in the supermarket. Yueqing took her two children to continue buying the things she hadn't finished shopping. When she turned back, Mr. Xie was gone.
"You were in there for so long just now. Did Uncle Xie say anything to you?"
"Yeah." Little Le Jia nodded, "I said a lot."
"What did you say?"
Little Le Jia sighed: "I didn't understand a word."
The way adults speak is really strange. He is making sense, but I don’t understand what this uncle is saying.
No, he should have understood it, but his uncle felt that he didn’t understand it.
Yueqing: "..."
Little Le Jia extracted the essence of the conversation with the dark-faced uncle: "Oh, yes! He told me to hold my aunt and sister tightly."
Hold tight?
What does this have to do with anything?
I didn't drive here today, so I can only buy some things first. Yueqing plans to bring the children here the next day. There's no rush anyway, and there's nothing missing at home.
After carrying all the things back home in large and small bags, Yueqing handed Sister Wang a red envelope and let her go home first.
There hasn't been much work recently, so I have to ask someone to go back and spend the New Year with their family so that I can take care of my two children.
After Sister Wang left, Yue Qing sorted out the things she had bought one by one, and compared the list to see if there was anything missing for the next day. As if remembering something, she asked, "Where are the new clothes I bought for you?"
“Here I am!”
The two kids ran back to their room quickly. Aunt Wang prepared clothes for them every day, and there were several sets of clothes that had not been worn yet. They had been coveting them for a long time.
They took out all the unworn clothes and placed them on the carpet in the living room.
Yue Qing had seen the pictures sent by Brother Jiang before getting the clothes, so after a rough inspection in the coffee shop that day, he handed it over to Sister Wang. Only today did he find out that there was a set that he had not seen the picture of.
She picked up the clothes and took a look. Both sets of clothes were red and the patterns had a bit of Chinese style. At first glance, they looked very suitable for wearing during the Chinese New Year.
Was it also brought by Brother Jiang?
Wouldn't that mean he was given less money?
"Auntie, what are we going to do?"
"It's Chinese New Year tomorrow, so you can wear new clothes." Yue Qing pushed two sets of clothes in front of them, "Would you like to wear this?"
Xiao Le'an asked, "Is it only worn during the Chinese New Year?"
"It's fine on any other day," Yueqing explained, "but Chinese New Year represents a new beginning, so we have to use new ones."
"Then I want to wear this!" Xiao Le'an hugged the clothes, "But where is Auntie's new clothes?"
"Auntie didn't buy any clothes!" Little Lejia pointed at the coat with fur hanging on the hanger at the entrance of her aunt's house. "Auntie is still wearing worn-out clothes. Auntie hasn't made a new start."
"Aunt has new clothes." Xiao Le'an thought of the one that his aunt had put in the box, "Aunt wears it!"
"..." Yue Qing realized the danger was coming, "Auntie is an adult now, adults don't need to wear new clothes."
"How could that be?" Little Le'an shook his head, "Adults have to be happy too."
She grabbed a handful of candy on the table and put it in her aunt's arms: "Aunt doesn't want anything. An An is not happy."
"Auntie won't grow up anymore." Little Le Jia said, "This way, Auntie can wear new clothes."
"Auntie doesn't wear it, and An An doesn't wear it either."
The two kids were talking back and forth, clearly trying to get their aunt to join in: "We want to celebrate the New Year together."
Let’s celebrate the New Year together.
Yueqing really didn’t celebrate the New Year happily with anyone.
She smiled and said, "Well, let's celebrate the New Year together. Put your clothes away and get dressed by yourself tomorrow."
"I will!" The two kids picked up the clothes, "I'll put them next to the bed~ You can see them when you wake up."
Yue Qing took this opportunity to take a photo and sent a message to Brother Jiang, explaining the situation of the two sets of clothes and asking how much money would be needed to make up for it.
She thought these two pieces of clothing should not be cheap.
The other side replied quickly. AAAAA wholesaler Jiang Ge: "No need to pay, it's packed."
What a conscientious merchant.
Before Yueqing could finish typing the thank you note, he received another message: "If you need anything for the New Year, we have some ready. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and many things are unsold, so we're offering discounts."
Followed by a few pictures.
Yueqing widened her eyes slightly.
Those small items were of all kinds, ranging from food to clothing to toys, and the backgrounds looked very high-end. They were all some of the items on her list that she had not yet bought.
AAAAA Wholesale Jiang Ge: "Delivery to your door, arrives on the same day, and it will be cheaper if you pack it in."
Is there such a good thing in the world?
However, after the Chinese New Year, many goods were indeed piled up for a long time.
Yueqing felt that he would not lose out by buying it, and it would even be much cheaper than shopping in a supermarket.
"Thank you for your help."
After a few seconds, another message came in: "You bought a lot of clothes for the children, what about yourself?"
Yueqing immediately became alert and realized it was a marketing trick.
One thing leads to another.
Is this the evil businessman?
She replied: "I have clothes."
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "The factory has several women's clothing. Now the spring clothes are on sale with new winter clothes. If you need them, we can send them together tomorrow. It's the Chinese New Year, don't you need them?"
Several more pictures followed.
Yueqing wanted to continue to refuse, but stopped after seeing those pictures.
Every piece of clothing in the pictures sent by Jiang Ge perfectly hit her aesthetic point. Even if it was a discounted out-of-season winter outfit, the style and cut of the clothes were very simple and generous, but the details had a strong sense of design.
Yueqing's gaze paused for a long time.
Not only was she a child, she was also a girl.
A pretty good-looking girl.
She also loves beauty and likes all pretty clothes and shoes. She also looks forward to wearing beautiful new clothes during the Chinese New Year, going out to play like other children, eating snacks, and receiving toys and red envelopes.
But every time she could only watch from afar and listen to others laughing, which shattered her expectations again and again, so that she became indifferent in the end.
In fact, buying a piece of clothing for yourself is not a bad thing, right?
You will no longer be pointed at and scolded for being greedy, nor will you be forgotten in an empty house during the New Year, only able to see the lights of other people's houses from the window.
Her fingertips paused for a long time, but she still typed out the words of refusal: "I'm an adult now, and I don't care about the ritual of new clothes."
When you grow up and become financially independent, you don’t have to envy others and can afford to buy one or even many new clothes.
But she never bought it during the Chinese New Year again.
That would just be a reminder to myself once again how out of place I am in this bustle.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yueqing put away his phone and prepared to rest.
The message prompt flashed on the screen again.
AAAAA Wholesale Jiang Ge: "Who said adults can't wear new clothes?"
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "I really want to give you one. If you can't pick one, I'll pack it all up and send it to you tomorrow."
Yueqing: "...Is this how all of you do business?"
AAAAA wholesale Jiang Ge: "."
AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "Anyway, I am."
