The next day, Chen Jianguo took Su Xia and his two children to the city.
The four of them went straight to the shopping mall and first went to the place where clothes were sold.
Chen Jianguo looked around and they all seemed similar.
Finally, seeing the skirts, the old man Su Xia pointed and looked at them, "Xia Xia, do you think those two skirts are okay?"
The salesperson had been waiting, and when she heard the man wanted to buy a skirt for his wife, she looked at Su Xia with envy.
Su Xia is wearing a doll collar shirt on the upper body and a black long skirt on the lower body today.
Looking at the dresses Chen Jianguo pointed at, one was a Cuihua dress, and the other was a square red plaid dress with a white shirt collar.
Shaking her head, she didn't like this style.
Seeing her shaking her head, Chen Jianguo gave up. He had long discovered that his wife's clothes and pants were much prettier than those displayed here.
The salesperson looked at Su Xia with pity. If she couldn't sell any, she would get a bonus.
In the end, the couple only chose a pair of overalls and a small sweatshirt for 꺶宝.
Niuniu놅 is a floral dress.
Su Xia looked at the children's clothes with satisfaction. They were much better than those she made.
Finally, I bought 5 more scarves, one for Chen's mother and Su's mother.
Then there are some hair ties and hairpins, these are for 꺶ya and the others.
Finally, I bought a few pairs of rubber shoes for Chen's father and others to wear when working.
These were all picked by Chen Jianguo. They were only 1.5 yuan plus an industrial coupon for a pair of shoes, which was very cheap.
Finally, I bought two more pairs of rain boots, one for Mr. Chen and one for Mr. Su.
Chen Jianguo put the things he bought in the bag he brought with him, and then brought Su Xia and the child here. He couldn't buy more, otherwise it would be difficult for his wife to carry the things alone with the child.
After coming out of the shopping mall, Su Xia saw that the popsicles were on sale this year, so she bought three.
Niuniu and Bao each took one and ate one by themselves.
Niang San was waiting outside for Chen Jianguo to come.
When Chen Jianguo arrived, he saw the three girls, each holding a popsicle, chewing them with great relish.
Su Xia turned her head and looked at him: "Let's go, eat first, and then go back. There's nothing to buy, and it's too sunny!"
Su Xia touched her sunburned face and looked at the two children, whose faces were also red.
꺶宝: "Mom, I want another one?"
"No, my stomach will hurt!"
Niuniu looked at Xiaobao with disdain, "You're so stupid, how could mother be so stupid?"
Su Xia handed the remaining half to Chen Jianguo: "You eat it!"
Chen Jianguo took it and ate it directly. He didn't dislike it. It was just that his son kept staring at the thing in his hand, so he finished it in two or three bites.
Why---
When Baobao saw his father finish the snack, he lowered his head and pretended to be angry, wanting his father to buy another one.
Niu Niu has been quietly holding Su Xia's hand and walking on the side. As she grows older, she has become more sensible and no longer clamors for things like when she was a child.
But she also knew that if her mother didn't give her anything, there was nothing she could do no matter how much she cried.
After arriving at the state-owned restaurant, Su Xia took the two children to the window to see what was on the menu today.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
꺶 Bao couldn't read, and after looking for a long time he didn't see anything, so he pulled Su Xia anxiously.
Niuniu looked at it for a long time, but she only knew a few simple words, "meat, rice..."
Su Xia looked at the two children and had to read it again.
"Braised pork, braised fish, fried eggplant, tofu and cabbage soup, rice, steamed buns, noodles"
"What do you two want to eat?"
The waiter had begun to get impatient after seeing my mother not ordering for a long time, but he didn't dare to yell at her.
They had noticed that the four members of Su Xia's family were carrying a large bag, and they had never seen the style of clothes the family wore before. They were afraid of offending others, so they could only endure it.
"Mom, I want to eat meat, all the meat."
Niuniu also said: "Mom, I want to eat meat and rice too."
After Su Xia knew this, he ordered food to the waiter: "Comrade, please give me one portion of braised pork, one portion of braised fish, one portion of tofu and cabbage soup, three bowls of rice, and five steamed buns."
"Okay, comrade, I have 230 grain coupons, 3.5 yuan."
After Su Xia gave the money and the ticket to the waiter, she took the child to find Chen Jianguo.
She ignored the waiter's attitude. She had experienced the worst before.
"You two sit down, it will be ready in a moment!"
Niuniubao sat on the stool and waited obediently.
"I ordered a braised pork and fish, a tofu soup, and three bowls of rice, as well as five steamed buns. If you don't have enough, go get more."
Su Xia repeated what Chen Jian said, fearing that he would not be full. This man's appetite was greater than that of Su Xia and her children combined.
"Enough, why didn't you order vegetarian dishes? I remember you don't like meat very much."
Chen Jianguo listened for a long time but found out there were no vegetarian dishes. Just as he was about to get up to order more dishes, he was stopped by Su Xia.
"Yes, but I don't like it and my kids don't like it either, so I didn't order it. Tofu and cabbage soup is enough."
Chen Jianguo had no choice but to sit down and talk about it in the cafeteria in the evening, as all the dishes there were vegetarian.
During the meal, the four of them didn't talk much. They just ate with their mouths wide open the whole time. After walking around for the whole morning, not to mention the children, even the whole people were starving.
Su Xia felt pain in her butt when she thought about the two-hour journey back by the base bus in the afternoon.
The only downside to this trip is that Chen Jianguo's base is too far from the city, but they make a trip back and forth every day to buy food.
This is quite convenient. No wonder there are so few family members coming here.
Su Xia recalled seeing the couple in the morning and following their bus to the city, but they went directly to the train station.
Why---
It seems that they are not having a happy life. They quarrel and love each other, but the little girl suffers and keeps her head down without saying a word.
"By the way, what time does the train leave this afternoon?"
Chen Jianguo looked at his watch and said, "There are still two hours left. What's wrong?"
Su Xia thought about it and saw the place where she loved you just now. It seemed to have a park. Why not go in for a walk and sit down to rest.
"Nothing, I was just wondering how to spend these two hours. There seems to be a park over there, where should we go?"
Chen Jianguo looked at Su Xia, not seeing anything, maybe just strolling around.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute. Wife, do you want to buy anything else?"
"What to buy? I don't know how to get all these. Besides, it doesn't cost money?"
"I saw you were gone, so I thought of buying you some more?"
Su Xia looked at him and said, "Do you think I'm missing something?"
Chen Jianguo also gave up after hearing that. It seemed like his wife really didn't need anything. No, next time he saw someone shopping for jewelry, he would definitely buy some for her.
If Su Xia knew what Chen Jianguo was thinking, she would definitely criticize him, not thinking that next year would be 1966. That was the beginning of the decade of darkness.
Su Xia lowered her head and continued to eat. She was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave and deal with the tickets in the space.
Why---
Sell it if there is a chance, don’t sell it if there is no chance, just keep it if you can!
After the family of four arrived at the park, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, it's so cool here!" Niuniu ran around, sometimes looking at the trees, sometimes sitting on a chair, smiling and chatting with Su Xia.
Su Xia found a place to sit, feeling the cool breeze on her face. It was good to have more trees.
Xiaobao had already been naughty. He walked under a tree, climbed up with his little hands, and kept trying to climb up.
Su Xia's mouth twitched as she looked at the kid. She had no choice but to tell Chen Jianguo, "Go and take care of your son. I don't know who he follows. He's so naughty!"
While still staring at him, Chen Jianguo also saw his son climbing up, so he had no choice but to go over to help.
If you don't let him climb once, he will keep trying.
"Dad, help me quickly, I want to learn the sage of heaven!"
When Bao saw Chen Jianguo behind him, he quickly gave instructions.
“Are you the Sage Equaling Heaven? You are just a wild monkey!” Chen Jianguo patted his little butt unhappily and helped him climb up.
Su Xia pouted, looking disdainful in her words but very gentle in her actions. She really spoiled her child.
Then he looked at his daughter beside him and nodded - daughters are still the best!
