Chapter 573: Shopping Desire Bursting
"Mom, thank you for taking care of Ping An'an with Grandpa and Grandma this afternoon. Uncle Wu and I are going to the Overseas Chinese Store."
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. I'll take good care of the children."
"Is there anything you want to buy, or is there anything missing at home? I'll buy it in one trip."
"I don't need anything, just buy whatever you like."
"Okay then, let's go."
On the way there, Song Fuyu drove the car straight to the Overseas Chinese Store which was farther away, where she and Gu Yue had agreed to go shopping.
"Isn't Chenghang Road closer?"
Wu Xingmin thought she didn't understand clearly, so he reminded her.
"I want to go to the department store later."
"Doesn't my cousin work at the department store on Chenghang Road? If she sees me buying so many things, she might gossip about me to my aunt. I don't want to bring bad luck to myself during the Chinese New Year."
"So that's how it is. It's better to go farther away."
Wu Xingmin was also slandered by Yan Ziyu last time. He would not bother with a younger kid, but that doesn't mean he doesn't mind. After all, people are made of flesh and blood, and he will feel pain too.
"In fact, your uncle used to be a good man. He was kind and upright."
"No matter how good you are, it can't beat the pillow talk day after day."
"Fortunately, my grandparents have come to their senses now. If we don't hold too high hopes for them, we won't be disappointed."
The car stopped near the shopping mall, and Song Fuyu took Uncle Wu on a crazy shopping spree.
This time, the main purpose was to buy gifts for my second sister's child, Zhou Yongning's daughter, and Youyou's belly baby.
After much selection, I still think that a stroller is the best choice.
After choosing gifts for the three children, I also bought a bunch of different toys for Ping An and An.
Although they have dozens of dolls, and An An likes to play with them, they are not Ping Ping's favorite. He likes toys that can make noises, move, and jump.
The toy car that Jinkai bought for him is one of his favorite toys.
After putting the things they bought from the Overseas Chinese Store back into the car, the two went to the department store and bought a lot of New Year's goods.
"Xiao Yu, that's enough. If we buy another car, it will not be able to accommodate all the space."
She calculated in her mind and decided that she had bought everything she wanted to buy, and also bought a lot of things that were not originally planned.
Ever since I became pregnant with Ping An An, I rarely go out shopping, and I couldn’t control myself for a while.
When he returned home, Ping Ping'an saw her and happily reached out to her, vying to be hugged.
"Wait a moment, mommy move the things down first."
"Xiao Yu, why did you buy so many things?"
Yan's mother went out to help, only to see that the back seat and the trunk were completely packed with stuff, with almost no space left.
"I haven't been to a department store in a while, I couldn't help myself."
"Except for the gifts I bought for my second sister and her friends, most of them were New Year's goods and toys. They didn't bring their usual favorite toys, so I bought them some new ones."
"Put the toys in your room. When they want to play, they can take them out separately. This will prevent your aunt and her family from making irresponsible comments when they see them when they come back."
"I know."
"But I guess their return this time should give us some peace of mind."
In fact, according to Song Fuyu's true inner thoughts, it is not certain whether they will all come back to celebrate the New Year. At least it is very likely that Yan Ziyu will not come back.
"Other people may not be worried, but your aunt may not be."
"She and I have been sisters-in-law for so many years. As she gets older, she becomes more and more narrow-minded. She cannot stand seeing others do well, especially our family doing well."
"Then let's just live our lives regardless of what she does. We can't live our lives cautiously just for her to feel comfortable. It's not worth it."
"It's better to make others unhappy than to make yourself unhappy."
After all the things were moved out of the car, Song Fuyu washed his hands and went upstairs to change his coat.
"All is well. Do you miss your mother?"
He held the two children in his arms, one on each side.
They didn't say whether they wanted to or not, and the answer she got was a saliva-filled kiss on each cheek.
"Eh~"
"You've smeared your mother's face with saliva again."
"An An, why are you starting to imitate your bad brother and start giving people food for their living?"
"An An likes to learn from Ping Ping very much now. When she learns, Ping Ping becomes more interested."
"Pingping, you are the older brother, you have to teach your younger sister good things."
Putting them on the sofa and asking their grandparents to support them, Song Fuyu began to unpack the toys.
"Xiao Yu, you bought about ten items, right?"
"They are just little gadgets. I bought them because they looked interesting."
"I basically never played it when I was a kid, so I bought it to find some of the fun in my childhood."
The first thing to be disassembled was a small iron train. By winding the spring and placing it on the ground, the train would move forward by itself.
This toy hit Pingping's heart, and she immediately reached out to take it.
"Do you like it?"
"ah."
"Don't worry, mom will open another one."
"It's only fair that you get one and your sister gets one."
The second one is a children's piano that is about 40 centimeters long and wide.
"This piano is so exquisite, can it make any sound?"
"Can."
She handed the little piano to her grandmother.
After Grandma Yan took it, she pressed the button, and the two children's attention instantly shifted from the little train to the piano.
Even An An, who is usually not that active, wanted to pounce on the little piano.
"Oh, slow down, grandma can hardly hold on."
"It seems like everyone likes this toy very much. Even An An is so interested in it."
"Xiao Yu, move their little chairs over here so they can sit and play. They can't play on the sofa. Pingping is too strong. Don't let him break his toys if you're not careful."
Song Fuyu is a mother who values fairness very much.
The small piano was placed right between the two children, with each playing on one side.
"Pingping, control your happiness. Your saliva is about to fall onto the piano keys."
"I have to change my drool bibs several times a day. Why do I drool so much?"
"He is just like Ziyuan. When he was a kid, Ziyuan also loved to drool and couldn't wipe it off. He also loved to suck his fingers. Later, I applied bitter melon juice on his hands and the situation got better."
