352 Dad, buy more
Zhou Linglan knew the story of the lighthouse and her grandfather.
Hearing Chenchen say this, her eyes couldn't help but get even redder. She touched the child's head:
"We are still smart. Grandma is old and her eyesight is not very good. But Grandpa is still here. He is always in our hearts."
Chen Chen nodded heavily: "Yeah, I say hello to Grandpa every day~~"
Chenchen has a little habit. Whenever he sees a lighthouse in the sea or a seagull circling overhead, he will wave and say hello. Sometimes he will even ask the seagull to help convey a message and fly to grandpa to say hello.
When I saw the seagull again the next day, I thanked it politely.
Therefore, Chenchen felt that Grandpa was always there and was always in touch with him.
This family photo was taken at the seaside. In addition to the five of them, white clouds, blue sky, white clouds, and coconut tree shadows, there are also seagulls circling over the sea and a lighthouse in the distance.
This is the real family portrait in Chenchen’s mind.
Zhou Linglan picked up the child and kept touching his little head: "Chenchen is such a good child."
Chenchen squinted his eyes and smiled: "Mom, can you put it in my room with my uncle~~"
Su Taotao nodded: "Of course, you can also put a photo of Chenchen and uncle, and individual photos of each of you."
Chen Chen smiled and nodded: "Yeah~~"
Su Taotao also smiled knowingly. Otherwise, why did everyone treat Chenchen as a baby? It was really hard for people not to love this little angel.
The things Zhou Linglan sent from her hometown also arrived. After dividing the mountain products among the families, there really wasn't much left.
Aunt Zhong also smiled and said that this year we don’t have to rush to buy mushrooms and black fungus.
At the end of every year, mushrooms and black fungus are in great demand and are needed by every household.
On the day of buying New Year's goods, Fu Zhengtu had a rare day off, so the whole family went to the city to buy New Year's goods.
The truck in the factory was big enough, so they simply asked Aunt Zhong's family, Dong Shengping, and the fat father and son to go buy New Year's goods together.
Hu Weiling's belly is already very big, and she is expected to give birth in the next few days. Dong Shengping dares not leave for even a day. Hu Weiling's mother just came over yesterday, so Dong Shengping only has time to buy New Year's goods today.
Su Taotao's family of five, Aunt Zhong's family of four, plus Pangpang and his son, and Dong Shengping, a total of twelve people, set out for the city in a mighty procession, and it was very lively.
Fu Zhengtu was driving today, Mo Gong was the passenger, and Su Taotao sat in the back with Zhou Linglan and Chen Chen.
Aunt Zhong said, "Come to think of it, this is my first time going to the city after all these years."
Engineer Mo said cheerfully, "Except for stopping at the city train station when changing trains, I have never been to the city."
"I haven't been there either. Let's make a shopping list and let the men go buy New Year's goods while we women take the children for a good look." said Su Taotao.
The supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls must be crowded at this time. With so many laborers there, she doesn't want to squeeze in.
The factory distributed cloth this year, so Zhou Linglan could make the children's new clothes for the New Year by hand. The cloth was enough for her to make one for herself.
As for Su Taotao, she doesn't need it. Fu Yuanhang accidentally bought her a very practical coat. As long as she maintains her figure and doesn't gain weight, this coat will be enough for her to wear for ten or eight years.
As for Fu Zhengtu and his colleagues, their clothes are provided by their work unit and they are given work clothes every year, so they don’t have to buy clothes very often.
Aunt Zhong slapped her thigh and said, "Taotao, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it?"
Mumu raised his hand and asked, "I have a question. What about Ah Hang and I? We are both gay men and children."
Aunt Zhong looked at him with disdain: "Go away, go away, you are too noisy following your father and your brother."
Mumu was not convinced: "Ms. Zhong, how could you do this? It's rare for us to get out and play."
Su Taotao said: "You are free to choose whoever you want to follow."
Fu Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go shopping with my brother. There are too many things for him to carry alone."
Mumu said, "Then I will follow Master Dong and help him get the things."
Dong Shengping only has one hand, so it is indeed difficult for him to hold things.
Aunt Zhong then said, "You are sensible. You still want to play."
Su Taotao gave a pen to Aunt Zhong.
Auntie Zhong gave Mumu the pen and said with emotion, "This year is a good year. Our factory is doing well and we have distributed a lot of things. We don't have to buy clothes, candy or oil.
Aunt Zhou also gave me so many dry goods, and I have already prepared all the daily necessities, so there is not much left to buy."
Su Taotao: "Mom, it's pretty much the same at home, right? If there's anything else you need to buy, tell Ah Hang and let them look for it according to the list. It'll be quicker this way."
New Year specials have gradually entered the supply and marketing cooperatives on the island, adding a lot of New Year atmosphere.
Zhou Linglan has been moving like an ant recently, buying a little today, a little tomorrow, and has added a lot of things over time.
Su Taotao doesn't really take care of household chores, and Zhou Linglan knows better than she does what's missing.
Zhou Linglan said, "We don't lack anything at home. Chicken, duck, fish and other meats are hard to buy in the market, right? We can buy some beef and mutton, which are hard to buy. If there are fruits, we can buy more varieties. Taotao likes to eat fruits. We can also buy some biscuits. You can decide on the rest."
Su Taotao looked at Fu Zhengtu in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "I really can't think of anything good to buy. How about you, Mr. Fu, take care of it?"
Chen Chen raised his hand high and said crisply, "Then can I apply to buy fireworks? We can go to the beach to set off fireworks during the New Year~~"
"Wow," Su Taotao hugged the child and gave him a kiss on the face, "Chenchen is awesome. Mom thinks Chenchen's suggestion is very good. I think it's feasible."
Fu Zhengtu curled his lips and said, "Okay, buy some fireworks."
Chenchen smiled and clapped his little paws: "Daddy, buy a lot, I want to put a lot~~"
Fu Zhengtu: "Well, Dad, buy more."
Mumu also raised his hand: "I also want to set off fireworks with Chenchen."
Aunt Zhong looked down on him: "How can you be so embarrassed? How old are you, Chenchen?"
Pang Pang asked Li Shouwang: "Then Dad, can I set off fireworks with Chen Chen?"
Li Shouwang nodded: "Sure, Dad, buy more."
Fatty said with a smile: "Chenchen, we will release them together when the time comes."
Chen Chen nodded: "Yes, let's put them together~~"
…
"Wow, there are so many people~~"
The supply and marketing cooperatives in the city were busier than they had imagined. Perhaps because there was not enough space inside, all the goods were moved outside and displayed from the supply and marketing cooperatives to the state-owned shopping malls. The entire street was filled with New Year's goods.
All kinds of candies, biscuits, fruits and nuts, spring couplets, clothes, shoes and socks... were all displayed, giving the place a strong festive atmosphere.
Su Taotao hasn't seen such a New Year atmosphere for many years. The New Year celebrations in the 21st century really have no atmosphere at all.
If there weren't so many people that it would easily squeeze the children, she would have wanted to squeeze in.
"There are too many of us, so it's right to act separately. The gay men will be responsible for the main purchases, and we lesbians will just shop and stroll around.
At 11:30 noon, we will gather at the state-owned hotel we just passed by. Whoever arrives first will order food and wait for others. "Su Taotao said.
The gay men naturally had no objections. Aunt Zhong took Chubby's hand and said to Li Shouwang, "Just leave Chubby to us. You guys should go quickly. If you go too late, all the good stuff will be snatched away."
Li Shouwang was not polite to them.
The time he spent at the base was the most stable and happiest time in his life. Everyone he met was a good person, and he was very grateful.
