Chapter 194: Crooked Melons and Cracked Dates
Bai Junya was so angry that she could only grit her teeth and walk out with her leather shoes clattering.
"Mrs. Yu, are you still looking at your watch?" Director Weng shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
"Director Weng, stop shouting. How can this spendthrift woman have any money? She will be scolded when she goes home. Aren't you stabbing her in the heart? I saw you two were very affectionate just now, but it turns out that it's just like this," An Zhixia said gloatingly.
"Ah, you little vixen!" Bai Junya loved to save face, so after hearing this, she turned around and showed her nails to An Zhixia.
Director Weng quickly stepped forward to hold her, pulled her aside and whispered: "Mrs. Yu, she is just a bully who takes advantage of others' power. Why do you have to argue with her? Mr. Yu is really angry this time. You should think about how to deal with it. But there is only one of that watch in Xiahua. I will keep it for you. When this matter is over, you can come again."
"Okay, Sister Weng, please keep it for me. My grandfather's birthday is coming soon, and I picked it specially for the old man." Bai Junya said sullenly, glared at An Zhixia fiercely, and left.
Director Weng was very happy. The commission from selling a watch was enough for her to buy a few more pounds of fine noodles to make noodles for the child. She turned around and met An Zhixia's dark eyes.
"Director Weng must keep the watch for Madam Yu, you must," An Zhixia smiled so brightly that Director Weng got goose bumps all over his body.
Hao Shi chocolate is an international brand, and the purchase price is already high. Also, due to the shortage of supply, it has to be purchased with foreign exchange coupons, and it costs more than ten yuan per pound, which is a sky-high price, and the Fang family was shocked to hear it.
Fang Lixi personally held the iron box weighing more than 20 kilograms and carefully distributed one to each person.
Everyone opened the outer packaging and looked at the black glass marble-sized chocolate candies. They were really curious about how delicious they were and how expensive they were.
They tried to put the candy in their mouths, and it melted in their mouths, with a rich and smooth taste. The novel enjoyment really made people tremble. More importantly, after the chocolate melted, the grainy peanut butter inside and the aroma of the fried berries burst out. The two blended together, directly refreshing people's perception of food.
"Delicious, delicious, this is the most delicious candy I have ever eaten, many times more delicious than White Rabbit!" The youngest child of the Fang family covered his mouth and kept muttering about how delicious it was.
The two little girls from the Fang family also savored the delicacy with sparkling eyes.
Fang Lixi gave another chocolate to everyone and said seriously, "Eating too much chocolate is bad for your teeth. Eat it tomorrow." As he said that, he didn't feel tired and just carried the chocolate with everyone else to go shopping.
An Zhixia didn't expose him, and watched with Aunt Fang while holding her sister-in-law's arm. In fact, the variety of goods in the Friendship Store was not as complete as that of the Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but their styles were leading the national fashion. However, in an era that emphasizes practicality, they were not very popular.
She and Fang Hongye each bought a woolen coat, a pocket watch for Uncle Fang, and a cashmere sweater for Aunt Fang. Each of the children received a canvas backpack and a multifunctional pencil case.
The salesmen secretly curled their lips. Their manager was just being polite and asked them to keep the account. Could it be that these people didn't know what politeness meant? Why did they want to empty the Friendship Store?
After choosing, Fang Hongye and An Zhixia rushed to pay the bill. In the end, Fang Hongye paid the money and An Zhixia paid with foreign exchange coupons. They did not take advantage of Jiang Shiming at all.
The man spent several hundred dollars without blinking an eye. Only then did the salesperson in the store realize that the man was rich just like what the manager said, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
On the way home, An Zhixia stood beside Fang Lixi.
The young boy held it in for a long time before he sullenly tried to share his pain with others: "Sister Xiao An, she, she didn't recognize us at all."
An Zhixia sighed silently. As she expected, she patted his shoulder and asked, "Has Sister Xiao An told you about her own affairs?"
He shook his head, his thin face almost wrinkled with sadness.
"My brother and I were loved by our parents like all other children before we were seven years old..." She slowly told the story of the original owner and her brother, "In fact, you are much luckier than me and your uncle Zhiqiu. You have a pair of obedient, sensible and caring sisters, an uncle who protects you, and your good friend Niu Wang, and all of us.
Your father loves you very much. Although he has passed away, your uncle will double his love for you. Li Xi, you are still young, so you long for maternal love and envy others' happiness, just like we longed for father's love when we were young.
But people should not be too greedy. Being alive is already a great blessing. Apart from loving yourself more and protecting those who love you, don't ask for too much, otherwise all you will get in return is disappointment and hurt.
She gave you life and raised you to the point where you know the world, so it's natural for you to remember and be grateful to her. But when she gets old and needs someone to take care of her, you can learn to repay her kindness bit by bit, just like the crows that feed their parents.
Before this, Li Xi promised her sister not to give her a reason to hurt herself. It is not worth being sad for such a mother. You can't punish yourself for the mistakes made by others. Be strong, little boy, and fight back beautifully like you did just now! "
"I, did I do the right thing just now?" Fang Lixi looked down at the bucket of chocolates in her arms and said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't mean to take advantage of her. It seems, it seems that her new husband is very angry with her."
"Just think of her as a gift from her mother to the children," An Zhixia touched his head and said with a smile, "She chose her husband herself, and she has to experience the ups and downs of life by herself."
It was already evening when the group returned home, and the women were busy cooking in the kitchen.
"Zhixia," Aunt Fang held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking when the meal was ready, "Who is that gay man in the store? Are you guys on good terms?"
An Zhixia smiled at the gossipy eyes of the Fang family mother and daughter and said, "If I say I don't know him either, and this is the second time we've met, would you believe me?"
They all shook their heads, "The second time you met, one of you helped the other out, and the other one called you brother. Who were you trying to fool?"
"Really? My brother also knows about it," An Zhixia helplessly recounted what happened last time.
"It seems that he has special feelings for you," Fang Hongye covered her mouth and laughed, "What about you? Don't you have any ideas? I think he is tall and handsome, and his speech and behavior are very gentlemanly. Maybe you can try to get to know him."
Aunt Fang also said, "Your sister-in-law is right. Your brother is married, and you are the same age as him. Now you have a house and a stable job, it's time to think about your lifelong affairs. If you delay any longer, all the good men will be picked up, and you will not be interested in the remaining crooked ones?"
"Aunt, according to you, I am an ugly person?" Fang Yuan appeared out of nowhere and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know whether you are a crooked melon or not, but I know you are a cracked date," An Zhixia smiled with pursed lips.
Brother Yuan touched the scar on his forehead and said, "I can replenish blood, wouldn't you consider it?"
"Wait until my aunt comes..."
"Isn't this bad? We don't need a third wheel between us..."
Haha, is the small theater okay?
