Chapter 554: Golden Rice Bowl
After hearing this, Mother Lin was relieved.
The child Xu Ning is pitiful. He has lost his parents since he was a child. Now the only grandfather he relies on has passed away, leaving him alone. Can they not take more care of him?
Mother Lin carefully looked back at Lin Quan and saw that she was sitting in front of the sewing machine making clothes. She asked in a low voice: "I feel that something is wrong with Quan Quan these past two days. She is always running outside. It is getting dark." Just returned home. An Ning, mom knows that you have just been discharged from the hospital, so I shouldn't bother you with such a trivial matter, but I am really worried that she will be entangled by Dai Wei."
Xu Wanning naturally understood Mother Lin's worries and comforted her: " Mom, please relax, Lin Quan is fine. I have something to ask her for help recently, and she and Yuan Xin are together. As for Dai Wei..."
Xu Wanning paused and asked tentatively: "Do you think he is with Quan? Quan, can we still live like before?"
After spending so many years with Xu Wanning, Mother Lin already knew her character well, so when Xu Wanning opened her mouth, Mother Lin knew what she wanted to express.
Mother Lin took Xu Wanning's hand, pulled her to sit on a wooden stool in the yard, sighed heavily, and then said worriedly: "As a mother, of course I hope that Tsuen Tsuen can live well. But in today's society, If she divorces Dai Wei for a quick moment, what will everyone think of her? Will she be able to find a suitable partner in the future? "
Let's not talk about her. Just talk about the two children of Chu Nian and Chu Lin. " How will their classmates treat them when they become children of a single parent family at a young age? Can they accept their parents' divorce? "A Ning, you have to take these things into consideration."
"The worldly perspective is not important. You should take care of Chu Nian Chu Lin's affairs. Anyway, Dai Wei's parents have all returned to Heilongjiang Province, leaving Dai Wei's parents alone. Let's take it one step at a time. "
The next day, the whole family got up early. , after breakfast, we went out together and went straight to the department store.
After entering the department store, Xu Ning went directly to the shoe counter with a clear goal, pointed to a pair of flat black leather shoes, and said to the salesperson: "Hello, please bring me a pair of these shoes."
Seeing that the salesperson was a young man, Carrot Tou said lazily: "These shoes cost eighteen yuan, can you afford them? These are shoes made of pure cowhide. If you don't buy them, you are not allowed to look at them. Who should I ask to compensate if they are damaged?"
Mother Lin lagged behind. One step later, I happened to hear the salesperson speaking unkindly to Xu Ning. I immediately felt protective of myself. I walked to Xu Ning with small steps and pulled him behind me.
"Why does my child want to take a look? He can break it by touching it just by looking at it. That means the quality of the shoes is not good. Let alone eighteen yuan, we won't buy it even if it costs eight yuan!"
"Don't buy it? I don't think so. You can't afford it, can you? Walk around and don't stand in front of my counter. You'll feel unlucky when you look at it!"
These days, the nostrils of the salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives can be raised to the sky, let alone those in department stores.
This is a proper "golden rice bowl". When ordinary people come to buy things, you have to please them and look at their faces before you can buy what you want.
There were many people like Lin's mother who had arguments because they couldn't stand the arrogant temper of the salesperson, but in the end, without exception, they were all kicked out of the department store.
Xu Wanning is well aware of the temperament of this group of people, but it does not mean that she can stand idly by when her family is bullied.
"Mom, Xiao Ning, we are not buying in the department store. I know there is a store that makes shoes. The quality is good and the price is affordable. Let's go there and buy it."
Xu Ning was hurt by the salesperson's temper and no longer had any of her own. She insisted and let Xu Wanning hold her hand and leave the department store.
"Aunt Wanning, have I caused trouble for you?"
After leaving the department store, Xu Ning's tears fell down her eyes.
Xu Wanning knelt down, took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and said patiently: "It's not your fault, it's the salesperson's fault. Don't worry, she will pay the price for her eyesight being higher than her head today. "
Before following Director Zhang, Xu Wanning also met Director Wang of the department store. She just put aside today's matter temporarily, but it does not mean that she will not settle the accounts later.
What's more, in a few years, as the individual economy becomes more and more prosperous, supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores will be slowly banned.
The salespersons will also lose the "golden rice bowl" they are proud of.
By that time, there will be many people who add insult to injury.
"Let's go, buy some for Grandma Lin first, and then we'll buy other things."
Xu Wanning took her family to the shoemaker's house at the end of Denghua Hutong.
She had noticed this shoemaker when she was looking at the house before. Although the styles of the shoes he made were not new, they used sufficient materials and were of first-class quality.
At the shoemaker's house, Xu Wanning picked out a pair of shoes for everyone in the family. When paying, Xu Ning scrambled to pay.
Xu Wanning put her hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "I calculated the money for Grandma Lin's pair alone. This is the gift you bought for Grandma Lin. Auntie won't fight with you. But our shoes will be left to Auntie Come and buy, keep your money to buy everyone the gifts they want."
"Okay." Xu Ning responded angrily, and the haze in the department store just now slowly disappeared.
Walking into Denghua Hutong, Lin Quan was in a bad mood.
Xu Wanning noticed it, but she didn't ask, waiting for Lin Quan to take the initiative.
Sure enough, after coming out of the shoemaker's house, Lin Quan said: "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the new house to have a look. The Dai family has lived here for several days, and they don't know what they have done to my house."
Regarding the agreement, Xu Wanning explained clearly to Lin Quan that it was originally to prevent Dai Wei from having any other intentions, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Lin Quan naturally knew that her sister-in-law had good intentions towards her, so she didn't care about Xu Wanning's "means".
"I just got the key, let's go take a look together."
Chu Nian and Chu Lin didn't know the conflicts between their parents, nor did they know what kind of pain their favorite mother had experienced during this time. I heard that it could When they went to see the new house, the two sisters danced excitedly.
"Brother Xu Ning, I have a separate room. Grandma promised me that she would make a double bed, one for Brother Song Han to live in. Then can you squeeze into the same bed with me?"
Xu Ning did not expect that the new house would be Even though it was only half of the bed, this feeling of acceptance still made his eyes squeeze into a line of happiness.
"Okay! Thank you, brother Chu Lin!"
"You're welcome, we are friends."
