I took a shower and waited for you downstairs. I didn't wear long sleeves. Am I waiting to catch a cold?" Fan Qi thought of the past and sneered, "I'm not like some people who wore long sleeves when the room was so hot..."
When his wife brought up the embarrassing incident, Chen Zhiqian lowered his head and covered her mouth. Fan Qi pushed him with her remaining strength, and he let go.
"No matter how delicious my wife is, you have to have some moderation. Tomorrow... oh no, it's already today, your adoptive mother and mother-in-law is here. If she sees me in a depressed state, what do you think she will think?" Fan Qi asked him.
Seeing how scared she was, Chen Zhiqian hugged her and said, "Go to sleep."
This is sleeping without any other meaning.
Fortunately, it was Sunday and she was able to catch up on some sleep. It was already noon when Fan Qi woke up. Chen Zhiqian had been working non-stop these past few days and had been bothering her for half the night. She was still asleep. Fan Qi sat up from the bed, and Chen Zhiqian also got up: "Let's go get some daily necessities for uncle and aunt, pajamas, slippers, towels and so on. In fact, we also need to buy some clothes for uncle and aunt. They are going to a private hospital. You know these places really only look at clothes and don't recognize people. Let's buy some vegetables. Uncle and aunt have not even been out of the island many times. I guess they are not used to Xiaoya's cooking."
"Don't rush to buy clothes. After my uncle and aunt come over and measure my sizes, I'll ask WO to send a few pieces over." Fan Qi said while wearing clothes.
"OK!"
The two went downstairs and the Filipino maid made them beef ball noodles, combining breakfast and lunch. After eating, they drove out.
"Are you going to buy a car too?" Chen Zhiqian asked Fan Qi.
"I think so too. My uncle is seeing a doctor here. If you don't have time to pick up my aunt and my mom, I can do that." Fan Qi thought for a moment and said, "But I'm very busy right now and I don't have time to buy a car. Liao Yazhe has three cars and I see he usually takes turns driving them. If you can't spare the time, I'll ask him to borrow some. Wait until my uncle has the surgery and everyone is relieved, then go buy a car. Also, how can I convert Hong Kong dollars into RMB? When my mom comes this time, I'll ask her to take the money back so that she can buy a house for my brother first."
"What the mainland lacks is not RMB, but US dollars. The official exchange rate is 1:3.4 now, but the trend of going abroad has just started, especially in Shanghai. Private individuals are in short supply of US dollars, but the country itself has little foreign exchange, so it is difficult to exchange. There is an official exchange rate of 1:3.4 and a private exchange rate of 1:8 or even 1:9. We exchange Hong Kong dollars for US dollars and let our mothers take them back."
"Isn't this illegal?"
"The country has been transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy and has implemented a dual-track pricing system. Now the prices of many things are very chaotic, and the country is also crossing the river by feeling the stones. There is basically no control over these things. In 1994, the country simply took one step at a time and carried out price breakthroughs. The exchange rate was directly devalued to 1:8.7, which was unified with the private market price. The prices of mainland products were directly liberalized, and this market naturally disappeared. So if you don't become a professional scalper, it's okay to exchange your own money."
"oh!"
"I hope A-Yuan can work with mainland economic experts to come up with a gentler way than price control. You know, it's quite risky to liberalize prices overnight."
To Fan Qi in his previous life, this period of history was just a few words in a book, but now when he heard Chen Zhiqian talk about it, it was like a huge storm.
Chen Zhiqian sighed: "So it was not easy for the mainland to develop to the point where it could cause a trade war with the United States in more than 40 years. How many twists and turns were there in the process?"
"Yeah." Perhaps only someone like him who has fully experienced the country's rapid development can have a deep understanding of it?
When they arrived at the mall, they got out of the car together. Fan Qi hugged Chen Zhiqian's arm. She felt that her husband was very tall and majestic, so she decided to admire him.
After entering the mall, she wanted to go to the supermarket downstairs, but Chen Zhiqian pulled her upstairs.
"Let's go to the supermarket! Aren't we buying daily necessities for my uncle and aunt?"
"Buy pajamas." said Chen Zhiqian.
"My uncle, aunt, and mom's pajamas should be made of cotton. They're available in supermarkets."
"Upstairs."
He wanted to buy something more expensive? That was fine. Fan Qi was dragged into a lingerie store by him.
It’s not that she is reluctant to buy expensive pajamas for her elders. Even if she buys pajamas from this store for her elders, they won’t wear them because they are all sexy.
