Coats, sweaters, pants, shoes, autumn clothes and pants.

Chuxia bought four sets of clothes for herself and Cen Huaian, plus a pair of white Huili sneakers and a pair of small leather shoes.

Her vision comes from the future, and she did not choose those fancy styles, but simple and generous styles that will never go out of style.

Moreover, such styles are easy to wear and match. Add a brooch and a beautiful belt, and it is both ingenious and beautiful.

Chuxia likes the wine red patchwork waist dress the most. It is matched with a retro belt in the middle and a pair of black high-heeled leather shoes. It is beautiful and fashionable.

Cen Huaian has no opinion on what to wear, and he completely lets Chuxia do it.

But as soon as he got home, he immediately changed into the pair of white Huili sneakers. Chuxia knew what he liked the most. .

The old jacket definitely cannot be worn anymore, so Chuxia changed Cen Huaian into a newly bought dark blue hooded zipper jacket. There was no other decoration, just a brown bear embroidered on the chest, but it made his skin look very pale.

Cen Huaian was originally white, and although his face was still thin, he had gained some weight. With this outfit, he looked like a child star on TV.

Clean and fashionable.

Unfortunately, there was no dressing mirror at home, so Cen Huaian could not look at himself.

Cen Huaian touched the jacket carefully, it was so comfortable and warm.

He was already very happy in his heart, but only the corners of his mouth had a slight curve on his face, and he was particularly good at hiding his emotions.

"Mom, are these all my clothes from now on?"

"If they are not yours, then whose are they? Stop touching them. Come and help me wash the vegetables and peel the garlic. I'm going to make garlic spinach today."

Chuxia felt a little bit sorry that her own spinach had not grown yet. The spinach she had now was from an old farmer she met selling near the family compound this morning.

When she saw the spinach was so fresh, she bought two handfuls without hesitation.

The spinach at this time is all natural and pesticide-free, so of course she had to buy more. It is so convenient to have a refrigerator. You don't have to worry about the vegetables going bad if you put them in the refrigerator.

Cen Huaian moved a small stool and placed it next to Chuxia. After he washed the spinach, he sat there and peeled garlic.

Although he is small, he works very hard and peels garlic very quickly.

The garlic in garlic mashed spinach must be fried in a hot pan with cold oil until fragrant, then add the spinach and stir-fry slightly. Don't fry it for too long, otherwise the spinach will be old, and don't fry it for too short a time, otherwise the spinach will still be raw.

The heat is very important. Finally, add some soy sauce and salt, and you can get it out of the pot.

Garlic mashed spinach is very fast to make, but it is very delicious. It is very suitable for summer and is refreshing and delicious.

Chuxia also cooked a tofu spinach soup. After heating the steamed buns, you can eat.

Cen Huaian is the happiest time of the day. If Chuxia hadn't been watching him, he would have been able to eat well every time.

The weather was not very good all day today, and the wind was very strong. Chuxia went to work again and brought an umbrella and a raincoat.

Sure enough, it rained again in the afternoon.

When I got off work, the rain was also urgent and heavy, without any signs of small things. It was colder outside than during the day.

Cen Huaian was still waiting for Chuxia to pick him up. She couldn't wait for the rain to stop like the others, so she rushed into the rain.

Chuxia's pants were mostly wet when they arrived at the Yuhong class. She put the raincoat on Cen Huaian and they hurried home. When

they arrived at the door of the house, Chuxia saw another empty room next door. Someone was moving things in it. It was a woman with a child. They were both soaked.

Chuxia took only one look and pulled Cen Huaian into the house. She couldn't let her body get cold, otherwise she would get sick again.

The aluminum kettle had been sitting on the coal stove with hot water in it. Cen Huaian wasn't wet, only his shoes and pants were wet. Chuxia asked him to wash his feet and change his pants.

Then she took the aluminum kettle of water and went into the inner room to wash.

The room was still too small. The inner room and the outer room were separated by a room without even a door, which made it inconvenient to take a bath.

Besides, An An was already five years old, and he would have to make a new bed for him to sleep alone next year at most. Thinking of this, Chu Xia wanted to change houses.

But there were no commercial houses at that time. Most importantly, there were no houses available, and it was not easy to find

one. She did not have enough money. There was enough land for a residential building, but it would cost money to build it.

But if she wanted to buy a house, Chu Xia would definitely want to buy one in Beijing or Haishi.

Houses are so cheap now, and there is no purchase restriction. If she did not buy a few more houses while she could, she would regret it when the house prices soared to sky-high levels in the future.

But you can't get fat in one bite. Now you still have to solve the work problem, and then study hard and wait for the college entrance examination next year.

Chuxia quickly packed up, put on the sweater and jeans she bought today, wiped her hair lightly, and waited to wash it during the day.

Otherwise, it would be a headache if she couldn't dry it at night, and there was no hair dryer at home.

When Chuxia went out, Cen Huaian sat at the table with his back to the inner room, reading a book. He was not reading what was taught in the Yuhong class, but the first-grade elementary school textbook that Chuxia taught him.

Chuxia taught him pinyin while teaching him the characters.

Now she has only taught him the final vowels and some of the initial consonants, so he still can't spell the characters later, and can only look at what Chuxia taught in the front.

Chuxia looked at Cen Huaian's back and suddenly found that he didn't seem to have any toys and had never asked her for them.

She had never heard that he liked the marbles that other children played with. He only played the chess and word recognition game more often.

This was something she hadn't considered. There was no word for toys in Cen Huaian's childhood, but she should have thought of it.

Just because she couldn't go out to buy them now didn't mean she couldn't make them. The four-in-a-row, gobang, six-in-a-row, and bamboo figurines that she played when she was a child were all games that she could play directly at home.

Let's talk about it after dinner.

Chuxia stewed a fish for dinner. The fish was frozen in the refrigerator and was not so fresh, but it would be best to drink a bowl of warm fish soup at this time, and then make some millet and red date porridge, which is best for rainy days.

"An'an, take this bowl of fish soup to Grandma Chen."

Chuxia still remembered that Grandma Chen taught Cen Huaian the towel fever-reducing method, so she took another bowl to Sister Li's house.

During the days she was sick, Sister Li helped her a lot. She came to see her whenever she was free and brought her hot porridge and steamed buns. When she saw Cen Huaian boiling medicine, she said Chuxia was carefree and was not afraid of scalding the child. Later,

she stopped letting Cen Huaian bring the medicine and helped bring it down after it was boiled. Sister Li was willing to bring her ten bowls of fish soup, not to mention one.

When the meal was delivered, Sister Li's family had not yet prepared the meal. Seeing that the bowl of fish soup was full of fish meat, Sister Li refused to take it.

"No, no. There are only a few pieces of meat on a fish. You bring it all to me. What will you and An An eat? My family doesn't lack this kind of food."

Chu Xia saw her daughter drooling. It was obvious that she didn't eat much meat on weekdays.

Although Sister Li's family has two full-time workers, they have three children. Her husband's hometown is in the countryside. There are several brothers in the family. They have to send money home every month. Sister Li usually goes to her parents' home.

The family lives a tight life. It is no problem to eat enough, but if they want to eat something good, they will buy a piece of meat to satisfy their teeth.

It was nothing before, everyone was like this, everyone had to support a big family.

But since Chuxia stopped giving money to her mother last time, she would stew chicken or fish every now and then, and put meat in stir-fry.

The smell made the children on the whole floor drool. Now if you ask them who they envy the most, it must be Cen Huaian, who can eat delicious food every day.

Chu Xia, like before, quickly poured the meat into Li's bowl and said with a smile, "You have helped me and An An so much these days, you should eat this bowl of fish, why are you being polite to me!"

As soon as Chu Xia left, the eldest daughter of the Li family and her two sons gathered around her, "Mom, let me taste it first."

"Go away, you hungry ghost, wait for your dad to come back before eating."

She took the fish and locked it in the cupboard, otherwise as soon as she went out to cook, the three children would eat the fish cleanly without leaving any soup.

"This is the candy that Grandma Chen gave me." As soon as Chu Xia came back, Cen Huaian took out a piece of fruit candy and gave it to her.

I don't know how long the candy has been there. The sugar inside the candy wrapper has melted and stuck together. Chuxia took the candy and said, "Don't eat this candy. I'll give you a milk candy later."

Cen Huaian suddenly didn't feel sorry for the candy taken away by Chuxia. He was looking forward to eating the milk candy.

Under the dim and warm light, the two of them were happily eating fish and drinking hot millet and red dates porridge. They didn't know that the mother and son next door on the left were looking at this place with envy.

"Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat fish too."

Guan Yan was also hungry. She moved into this house in a hurry. Except for a bed, there was no furniture, let alone a coal stove.

She could do nothing but hug her son and say, "Be patient, I'll go borrow some hot water from someone and make you a cup of maltose."

Qi Ming was only four years old. Children cry when they are hungry, so how can they be patient? He didn't have to be patient before, so he cried loudly, "I don't want to! I don't want to! I want to eat fish, I don't want to drink maltose! I want my grandma!"

Guan Yan gritted her teeth in anger. This was the son her parents-in-law had given her to raise. He had become a bad-habit bully who would make trouble if she didn't give him food. She would protect him if she didn't control him.

If her son was not going to be useless if he was not disciplined, she would not have made up her mind to quarrel with her mean parents-in-law.

Fortunately, she had prepared this house before, thinking of moving in when she moved out. Otherwise, she and Mingming would be frozen to death in the rain if she was driven out on this rainy day and her husband was not at home.

Seeing Qi Ming crying and making a fuss because he couldn't get it, Guan Yan picked up the broom she borrowed from the door and hit him hard.

Qi Ming cried even more heartbreakingly, and Guan Yan herself cried too hard.

There are no secrets in the family building, but everyone beats their children. At most, they say a few words and no one cares.

It's just that Guan Yan and Qi Ming just moved in, so maybe everyone is curious.

Chu Xia and Cen Huaian are not curious, because Chu Xia is teaching Cen Huaian how to play Gobang.

Gobang requires a lot of chess pieces, and there are none at home now.

Gobang is simple, draw a nine-square grid, each person has six chess pieces, put them around the outer circle, and then you can start playing.

As long as A's two pieces face B's one piece, B's piece will be eaten, until whoever has only two pieces left loses.

Before playing the game, Chuxia took out a new notebook and gave it to Cen Huaian, saying, "Today we will implement the red flower system."

Cen Huaian looked at Chuxia. The Yuhong class had red flowers. The teacher said that the best child would get a red flower every day, and he had gotten several.

But the red flowers will not be counted until the end of the semester. Whoever gets the most will be rewarded by the teacher.

Because he didn't get a reward, Cen Huaian never said anything.

Every time Chuxia asked him what happened in the Yuhong class today, he would say that the teacher said a few words and taught a few numbers today, and that was it.

When asked if he had any interesting experiences with his classmates, Cen Huaian said, "They like to cry, and I don't like playing with them."

Chuxia: "There must be some who don't cry."

Cen Huaian hesitated for a while and said reluctantly, "Chenchen won't cry."

Chuxia said that he could play with Chenchen, and Cen Huaian just said "hmm", and she couldn't continue.

Cen Huaian's intelligence was obviously different from that of the children in the Yuhong class, and there was no way to integrate them.

Of course, they both liked to eat candy.

Cen Huaian frowned and thought: What is the red flower system of my mother? Will she give him candy?

Chuxia explained to Cen Huaian: "This little red flower system is mainly used to reward you. For example, if you win the game with me today, you will be awarded a little red flower; if you help me with housework today, you will get a little red flower; if you are praised by the teacher at school and do good things, you will also get a little red flower. But if you make a mistake, you will lose the little red flower. The little red flower can be used to exchange things with me, such as money, such as candy."

Cen Huaian's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "I just washed the dishes."

Chuxia nodded with a smile: "Okay, then start from the time you washed the dishes and give you one."

Chuxia found the red pen she used for taking notes and drew a little red flower.

"Now let's play six-in-one chess, only one game, and you have to write big characters after the game."

"Okay!"

Cen Huaian's eyes showed excitement, he wanted to win Chuxia and get another little red flower.

Don't underestimate six-piece chess, it also tests a person's intelligence and calculation ability, layout, traps, and the first move.

Cen Huaian was unfamiliar with it at first, and Chu Xia quickly captured one of his chess pieces.

But later, it was difficult for Chu Xia to capture his chess pieces. In the end, neither of them could capture the other, and the game was deadlocked.

Chu Xia looked at the time on her watch, it was almost eight o'clock, she stood up and interrupted Cen Huaian's thinking: "Okay, let's save this game for tomorrow, you should write big characters."

Chu Xia was forced by her grandfather to practice calligraphy since she was young, so she also wanted Cen Huaian to practice calligraphy since she was young. Her calligraphy

is definitely not as good as those great calligraphers, but she is more than enough to teach Cen Huaian the basics.

"You are saving energy again. This stroke can't be fast. Erase it and write it again."

Chu Xia accompanied Cen Huaian. While he was writing, she recited her test materials. The factory will have an internal recruitment test next Monday, and she doesn't have much time.

At this time, Chu Xia was particularly envious of Cen Huaian's ability to remember everything he saw. Her memory is not bad, but she needs to read each paragraph three or four times before she can remember it, and she will forget it if she doesn't review it. It's really frustrating

to compare yourself with others.

While reciting the book, Chu Xia's door was knocked "bang bang bang".

"You continue writing."

Chu Xia said to Cen Huaian, and she got up to open the door.

Outside the door was the mother and son next door who had just moved. They had changed into new clothes.

"What do you want?" Chu Xia looked at the two and asked hesitantly.

Guan Yan's face flushed. It was the first time she asked for help, and her words were not fluent: "Well... my family... can you lend me some hot water? I want to make a cup of maltose for my child." It

was just borrowing water, which was not a difficult task. Chu Xia took out the kettle and said, "Sure, you can pour it."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Guan Yan thanked repeatedly.

However, the next day, when she found out that the mother of the mother and son next door was named Guan Yan and the son was named Qi Ming, Chu Xia instantly regretted borrowing water.

Qi Ming, the male protagonist of "The God of Business", his mother is Guan Yan.
