When it was almost time for dinner in the evening, the Gu family members who had worked came back one after another. The whole family sat at the dinner table, eating and chatting. At this time, Gu's second sister-in-law Chen Tingting spoke.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, our hospital's duty roster is out. We're officially on vacation starting tomorrow. Chinese New Year is almost here, so should we start buying New Year's goods?"
Gu Ma: "Oh, yes, our hospital's duty roster is out. I'll be on duty on the fifth and sixth days of the New Year. Tingting, when will you be back on duty?"
Li Tingting: "I arranged it on the fifth and seventh day of the New Year."
Grandma Gu said, "Chinese New Year is coming in two days, and we haven't prepared anything yet. When will you and your son come back for the holiday?"
Father Gu: "Mom, our military district will also have a holiday tomorrow, but we will have to stand guard on New Year's Eve."
Grandma Gu said to Father Gu, "Okay, you two will clean the house tomorrow, and let your wife take Tingting and Xiaonuan to buy New Year's goods. Huanhuan and Xiaofeng will go with them to carry the things."
Gu Chengfeng: "Tomorrow I have an appointment with Wu Gang to go see Nuan Nuan's courtyard house and see how it's being renovated. How about waiting for me to come back and then leaving later to buy New Year's goods?"
Grandma Gu: "That won't work. It's too late and there's nothing left to sell."
Su Nuan: "Grandma, I can drive. I'll take my aunts to buy New Year's goods, and Cheng Feng can do his own thing."
Grandma Gu: "That's fine. If you can't carry the things, let Huanhuan do it. She eats a lot and is very strong."
Gu Huanhuan was unhappy. "Grandma, I'm still a child. I need to eat more to grow."
When the family heard what Gu Huanhuan said, they burst into laughter. Niu Niu looked at everyone laughing and started laughing too.
Tomorrow's arrangements were decided in just a few words. After the family had dinner and drank some tea, they went back to their rooms to sleep and rest.
On the second day, early in the morning, Su Nuan was brought to her by Gu Huanhuan and Niu Niu. The two of them knocked on Su Nuan's door. After sending them away, Su Nuan washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Su Nuan asked, "Auntie, where should we go to buy New Year's goods today? There are too many people in the department store."
Li Tingting interrupted, "I heard from my colleagues that Dashilan is very lively and has a lot of things to sell. We can go there today and then go to Wangfujing."
Mother Gu: "Sure, I've heard about it from my colleagues before, let's go shopping today."
Su Nuan: "Second sister-in-law, auntie, what should I buy for the New Year?"
Mother Gu: "Your grandmother gave me a list long ago. Let's buy according to the list. It won't go wrong."
Su Nuan: "That's fine too. Niuniu, will you come with us?"
Li Tingting "let her stay at home with her dad"
Niuniu was immediately unhappy when she heard what her mother said. She quickly hugged Gu's legs and said coquettishly, "Grandma, Niuniu wants to go out, play, and buy delicious food."
Mother Gu was shaken by her grandson's legs. "You stay home and grandma will buy some delicious food for you. There are a lot of things to buy today and there are many people. It would be bad if Niuniu got lost."
Niuniu pouted unhappily and said, "Niuniu, follow grandma obediently, hold hands, and don't get lost."
Su Nuan looked at the little girl's chubby little mouth and felt very sorry for her. Thinking of the leash that would be used in the future to prevent her from getting lost, she said this.
"How about we take a rope and tie it around Niuniu, and tie the other end to an adult. The distance shouldn't be too far, so she won't get lost."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a great idea and couldn't bear to refuse the cute girl, so they all agreed. Niu Niu was very happy to be able to go out. She didn't care about the rope tied around her body and even thought it was fun.
After breakfast, a few people drove off and headed to Dazhalan first.
The car stopped near a shopping street. Li Tingting held Niu Niu's hand, while Gu Huanhuan held Su Nuan's left arm and her mother's right arm as they walked towards the commercial street.
At this time, both sides of the street were filled with various stalls with a wide variety of goods. Mother Gu took out a list and went to the stall that had what she needed according to the list. After asking the price, she bought it directly.
After a while, everyone's hands were full of things, but they had not bought everything on the list.
Su Nuan said to the others, "Let's put the things we bought in the car first, and then we can continue shopping."
After a few people agreed, they put the things in the car and were about to go shopping again.
Niuniu stopped moving, and Li Tingting asked, "Niuniu, are you tired? Do you want your mother to hug you?"
Niuniu: "Mom, no need to hold me, Niuniu wants to eat something delicious, I saw some candied haws, Niuniu wants to eat some."
Li Tingting: "You greedy cat, mom will buy it for you, just wait"
As he said this, he untied the rope on his body, tied it to Gu's mother, and went to buy candied haws. Niu Niu took the candied haws and ate them while walking, and stopped making a fuss.
The few of them continued shopping and had bought almost everything on the list, but there was still a little left. They planned to go to Wangfujing later, where there were several old dim sum shops and buy some more dim sum to take back.
After putting all the things they bought into the car, they drove to Wangfujing.
