Chapter 46 Shopping

◎Regret~◎

This means it's all her fault!

Aunt Jiang didn't spoil him at all: "I don't know who spoiled him. Usually I told you to take care of him, what did you say? You said the child was still young and would be fine when he grew up. Now that you can't take care of him, you blame me?"

"Who else can I blame if not you?"

"Then you're still his dad!"

.......

In short, Aunt Jiang's family had a huge argument that day because of who should be blamed for Ge Huai's current condition. Father Jiang never expected that he thought he had found a good job for his nephew, but the other party didn't even like it.

Until the Chinese New Year, Jiang's father still didn't see Ge Huai coming to his house.

However, he had a lot of things to do, and since Ge Huai didn't look for him, he naturally wouldn't keep this little thing in mind all day long. It was on the second day of the Chinese New Year when Aunt Jiang and her family came to visit, and it was only when Jiang's father saw his eldest nephew Ge Huai that he remembered this matter.

...

...

When asked, Ge Huai didn't think he had done anything wrong. Since he had no intention of taking the job introduced by his uncle, why bother to make a special trip to his uncle's house? Didn't his not coming make his attitude very clear?

Father Jiang had nothing to understand when he saw his nephew like this. It seemed that he just didn't like the job he suggested!

In this case, he was too lazy to persuade her any more. He was not Ge Huai's parents. He couldn't even take care of his own son, so he had no intention of helping others discipline their son.

It is normal for young people to be a little arrogant. Just fall a few more times and it will be fine.

After the Spring Festival, Wei Xiaolong returned to Beijing to prepare for school.

When Wei's mother saw her youngest son, she pulled him aside and asked about his family situation.

"Everything is fine at home, except that my third brother has asked my third sister-in-law several times when she will go back. My father has also asked privately whether I want to stay here until my sister goes back to work, and then go back with my third sister-in-law."

Wei Xuan knew that her mother was probably homesick, so she discussed with Jiang Che in the evening: "Mom has lived here for more than half a year. Now the child is a little older, and I can take care of it by myself. Why don't I send Mom back first?"

Jiang Che had no objection, but he was worried that his wife would be too tired to take care of the child alone: ​​"Are you sure you can handle taking care of the child by yourself?"

Wei Xuan said with certainty, "Sure." She felt a little weak right after she finished speaking, "Why don't you make a small bed for the child, so that when I go out to work, I can put her next to me and watch over her, and I won't be in a hurry."

Jiang Che thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go find a carpenter to make the bed tomorrow. It shouldn't take long. As for Mom, I can only send her home when I'm off next time."

"Sure, these two days won't be a big deal. By the way, come back early tomorrow after work to see the kids. I'll take Mom to the department store for a walk. Mom hasn't been out for a long time since she came here. I'll buy her something to take back."

"Okay, and don't forget to buy yourself some new clothes."

Wei Xuan looked down at the fat on her body that had not yet been lost and immediately gave up the idea. She decided to wait until she lost some more weight.

They were going to the department store tomorrow, so they had to count all the savings and bills at home.

Most of the tickets were given by Jiang's father and mother. The money earned was much less than the year before, mainly because Wei Xuan was pregnant, so the bacon and sausage business was stopped this winter.

But they still make braised meat and pastries as usual, so it's okay. Although the income is not as much as the year before, it is still more than two thousand. Combined with the previous savings, their small family savings have exceeded six thousand.

The next day, when Jiang Che got home from get off work, Wei Xuan had already dressed herself.

Seeing him coming back, he put the money and tickets in his pocket and dragged Wei's mother to the department store in a heroic manner.

This time, Wei Xuan had stuff in her pocket, so she was not soft-hearted and wanted to buy everything she saw. Her mother couldn't stop her.

Look, at this moment, she was holding a pair of shoes and asking Wei's mother to try on the size. As soon as Wei's mother asked about the price, she turned around and left without even trying them on. Wei Xuan had no choice but to tell the salesperson Wei's mother her shoe size and let the salesperson pack them directly.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Wei's mother had to turn back and call out to the salesperson: "Wait a minute, little girl, let me try them on first." It would be a shame to buy such expensive shoes if they didn't fit.

Wei Xuan smiled secretly when she saw that her plan had succeeded.

After that, every time this happened, Wei Xuan did the same thing, and by the end of the time, Wei's mother almost got angry with Wei Xuan.

Finally, after Wei Xuan finished shopping, the two of them went home carrying their bags.

Jiang Che, who was waiting at home, saw the two of them coming back, but he found that his wife was smiling, but his mother-in-law had a puffy face and looked unhappy. So he avoided Wei's mother and pulled Wei Xuan aside to ask, "What's the matter? How come you made mom angry after going out?"

Wei Xuan turned her head to look at the still angry Wei's mother, and smiled: "It's okay, Mom is just mad at me. I bought a pair of leather shoes for Dad, and Mom said that Dad can't wear these things at home, and she insisted that I was a spendthrift. I guess it will be fine soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che felt relieved that the mother and daughter did not really have a conflict.

In order to help his wife out, he deliberately said to Wei's mother: "Mom, Wei Xuan said she bought a pair of leather shoes for Dad, right? What kind are they? If they look good, I will buy a pair next time. This way, when Dad and I go out together, everyone will know that we are from the same family and have the same shoes."

Since her son-in-law had spoken, Wei's mother couldn't keep a straight face and found the shoes for him: "Well, I don't know if they look good, but the price is good."

In fact, on the one hand, Wei's mother felt that her daughter was a spendthrift, and on the other hand, she was afraid that her son-in-law would be unhappy to see that Ni'er bought so many things for her, so she deliberately put on a stern face. Now that she saw that her son-in-law still had the mind to joke with her, she knew that she was overthinking.

That's right. After observing her son-in-law for so many days, she found that he was indeed a generous man. Ni'er felt lucky to marry him. Now she could go home with peace of mind.

The night before Wei's mother left, she specially invited Wei Sansao to dinner at home. After dinner, she gave her some detailed instructions. The main idea was to tell her not to come to Wei Xuan's house often to eat and drink for free. It was okay to come occasionally, as Wei Xuan was already busy enough taking care of the children, so she should not come to cause trouble for her.

Mrs. Wei nodded obediently, but she was secretly happy in her heart that her mother-in-law had gone home and finally no one could control her.

In the morning, Wei Xuan stood at the door holding the child to see her mother off.

Mother Wei waved her hand and asked her to go back: "Okay, the child is still young, you take her in, and come back when you have time."

Wei Xuan nodded.

Because Jiang Che only had one day off and had to be back in the afternoon, they had to catch the earliest bus back.

The bus arrived at the county town, and it was Brother Wei San who came to pick people up. When he saw that his wife really didn't come back with them, Brother Wei San couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Jiang Che saw it, and he felt a little sympathetic for him to be separated from his wife for such a long time, so he couldn't help but said, "Third brother, is your family busy now? If not, you should miss your third sister-in-law. Come with me to Beijing to see her in the afternoon."

"Is it okay?" Brother Wei asked in surprise.

"What's possible?" Without giving her son-in-law a chance to speak again, Wei's mother extinguished his daydream.

"If you leave, who will take care of your child? Are you going to rely on your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law? Do you have the nerve to do that?"

Third brother Wei was embarrassed. He didn't dare to talk back even though his head was straightened after being scolded.

The mother-in-law was furious, and Jiang Che, the instigator, didn't dare to continue to speak for him. Compared with his brother-in-law, the mother-in-law was obviously more important.

All the way back to the Wei family, the third brother Wei still hadn't recovered. He was so miserable. Not only did his wife ignore him, but he was also scolded by his mother all the way.

The Wei family had been waiting at home for a long time. As soon as Wei's mother and Jiang Che got out of the car, they were surrounded by everyone, especially the children, who hadn't seen their grandmother for such a long time and missed her a little.

"Alright, alright, stop crowding around. The first and second families, have you cooked yet? Hurry up and make it. Xiao Che has to catch the afternoon bus back home after dinner."

"Mom, the meal is ready. Shall we eat now?" Wei Ersao answered first.

Mother Wei thought for a moment and nodded: "Then let's eat first."

After finishing the meal and seeing Jiang Che off, Wei's mother opened the luggage she had brought back and took out a handful of candies to share with the children.

The children are young and were very happy to eat some of the candies. They couldn’t sit still at home after getting the candies and ran away in no time.

After the children had left, Wei's mother began to tell about what she had seen and heard during her time in Beijing. Even though she had spent most of her time in Wei Xuan's small courtyard and had seldom gone out, she could still tell the stories in a very detailed and concise way that made people yearn for the future.

"That department store..." Mother Wei pretended to be mysterious and paused before saying, "It's so huge. It sells everything. You can only imagine what it sells."

Then he took out a pair of leather shoes and said, "Look, this is what your little sister bought for your father. They cost dozens of dollars a pair. I told her not to buy them, but she insisted on buying them. I couldn't persuade her to stop."

When the price was announced, everyone present gasped. How could a pair of shoes cost dozens of dollars? It was unimaginable to them. The total amount of money they had on them was less than ten dollars.

Father Wei happily took the shoes and touched them lovingly.

Not to mention the three older brothers of the Wei family were envious, the eldest and second sister-in-law of the Wei family also regretted it at this time. At the beginning, they went to substitute for their younger sister, but they didn't want to go when they heard that there would be no money to be made. Now they think it would be good to go to Beijing to see the world!

The third family is still smart. Alas, it’s too late to say anything now.

Jiang Che returned home and told Wei Xuan about the matter of Wei San Ge, who became very worried after hearing it.

Although she now tells the public that she is letting Mrs. Wei San take over for a few months, she knows clearly that she has no intention of returning to the supply and marketing cooperative.

In this case, this job is likely to fall into the hands of the third sister-in-law. If the third sister-in-law stays in Beijing, she can't let her and the third brother and his wife be separated forever. If it goes on for a long time, she can't be held responsible for the relationship problems. But if the third brother also comes to the city, how will he support the family? She doesn't have the ability to find a job for the third brother.

Forget it, forget it. Don’t think about it anymore. Things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a way.

After Wei's mother went back, Jiang Che and Wei Xuan had to continue their business. When the child was three months old, Jiang Che had finished making a crib for the child.

This saved Wei Xuan a lot of trouble. No matter where she was or what she was doing, she just had to put the child in the cradle and push it next to her, and she wouldn't have to worry about no one knowing if the child woke up.

Wei Xuan still did not make any new food this year, mainly because taking care of the children was too tiring and she had no time to research other things. It was easier to make the ones she had already cooked before.

When the weather began to warm up slowly, Wei Xuan received a letter from the Wei family.
