On Sunday morning, when the two children came out of their foreign language class, they saw Su Qinghu waiting outside.
Erdan was stunned for a moment, then ran over happily, "Mom, why are you here?"
"I'll take you to do something." Su Qinghu glanced at Dadan who had just caught up and waved.
"What's the matter?" Erdan asked curiously.
Su Qinghu: "You'll know when you get there."
It's not a mystery. She had this plan before, but she was too busy and forgot about it. She re-read it these days and made the decision.
That is to buy insurance for everyone in the family.
At that time, insurance was not as fancy as it is in later generations, nor did it charge as much as it does in later generations. It cost less than a hundred yuan a year, so why not buy it?
When we arrived at the place, the people we had contacted before were already waiting. After meeting Su Qinghu, we began to process their affairs.
Erdan was confused: "What is insurance?"
This was the first time he had heard of this thing.
Dadan frowned and said nothing, but what Erdan asked was exactly what he wanted to ask.
Su Qinghu looked at the staff and said, "Please explain it to them."
The man thought that since there were only two children, he could handle the matter in less than five minutes, but he ended up talking for an hour with questions and answers.
After I had dealt with their insurance and sent the person away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although some of the questions asked by these two children were very naive, many of them hit the nail on the head, and even made him feel that he was facing adults instead of two children.
Of course, it was also because the children's parents were sitting next to them and listening quietly that he didn't dare to just talk to the children casually.
After Su Qinghu finished these things, he asked the two of them, "Where do you want to go this afternoon? Or is there anything you want to do?"
"Let's go ice skating?" Erdan was eager to try. "It snowed before, but by the time we knew it, the snow had been cleared away."
Su Qinghu looked at the big egg.
Dadan: "You don't have skates, you don't have a sled, and you're not wearing any thick clothes."
Su Qinghu: "??? What do you mean? Can't I just buy it?"
"It's not available for purchase." Dadan looked at her.
Su Qinghu: "Then I'll rent it."
"It's the weekend, so we might not be able to rent it at this time." Dadan reminded her, "Even if it's our turn in line, we might have to leave before we even play for half an hour."
In winter, it gets dark early.
"..." Su Qinghu, "Then I'll find someone else to buy it."
She can snatch food directly from the hands of those who have "capital"!
"The clothes you're wearing probably won't last you five minutes on the ice."
She bought long-sleeved shirts and long-pants for him and his younger brother, and for his grandparents, but she never bought any for herself, let alone wore them.
In short, there was no autumn clothes for her to wear when hanging clothes out to dry at home during the winter.
She only had a pair of thin pants on, and if she went on the ice, she might get cold legs...
Erdan looked at her woolen coat, then at her pants. "Is it okay to borrow a coat from outside? It's been worn by many people and it still smells.
Su Qinghu: "..."
She can't!
"Let's go home!" Su Qinghu turned around first. "Wouldn't it be nice to stay home and roast sweet potatoes? Or I could get a barbecue grill and have some outdoors!"
Having food and drinks and being able to lie on the sofa, isn't that better than freezing outside?
Erdan opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Is that it? You didn't even ask for his opinion? You're not going to skate anymore?
"Just... not going?" Erdan was incredulous. "Can't we just go and see what's going on first, then decide whether to play or not?"
Su Qinghu and Dadan looked at him.
Erdan: "Seeing is believing! Let's go and take a look. What if? What if we get really lucky?"
Dadan: "You don't know the situation."
In the past, when they wanted to find ways to make money, what had they not seen?
He was talking about what happened in the past.
Erdan knew his brother was right, but he still refused to give in. "Go ahead, I'll have to take a look before I give up. Even if we can't play in the end, we can still go see if there's anything good to eat nearby."
Su Qinghu pondered and thought that it was not impossible.
Nowadays, the food we eat is more authentic and does not contain so many additives, so it is naturally better to eat out. After all, there is no need to clean used pots, pans, and barbecue grills.
"Then let's go and take a look!" Su Qinghu made the final decision.
====
An hour later, the three of them were each chewing on a string of candied haws, watching the old man cut steaming pea yellow for them.
"Here you go."
The old man handed the pea yellow to Dadan and Erdan, and Su Qinghu touched the money with one hand and handed it over.
"Is there anything else you want to eat?" Su Qinghu asked the two little followers on his left and right, holding the candied haws in his hand and with tears in his eyes.
The hawthorn she had just bitten was so sour that it almost brought tears to her eyes.
She tilted her head back and didn't even look at the two children.
It’s dry in winter, and eating pea yellow is a bit choking.
Erdan choked and burped, and then he burped continuously.
The big egg was okay. He had seen people eating it before and knew it would be choking, so he ate it in small bites.
But my mouth was dry and it took some effort to swallow it.
By the time he swallowed it and wanted to speak, Su Qinghu had already realized something was wrong.
After glancing at the child, she looked around but couldn't find anywhere to buy drinks. But at least she wasn't afraid of people, so she stopped an old man carrying a bird cage and asked.
The old man was easy to talk to. He glanced at the hiccuping child and pointed her the way directly.
In such a cold day, the most delicious and nourishing hot drink is pear soup.
Su Qinghu thanked him and glanced at the two children. The three of them immediately rushed forward in tacit understanding.
As soon as he approached the place, Su Qinghu smelled a sweet scent.
After being invited, Su Qinghu ordered a pot of small pear soup.
This is what the old man carrying the birdcage said. This one is relatively good.
Dadan and Erdan sat down with Su Qinghu, waiting for the pear soup to be served.
The slender soup pot and specially made cup are very interesting.
Su Qinghu didn't start first, but pointed at the soup pot on the table with his chin, letting the two children start first.
Erdan looked at the people around him to see how they drank.
And Dadan had already taken action while he was watching.
Su Qinghu looked at it and smiled slightly.
"Stop looking." She gently reminded Erdan, "Look at your brother."
Erdan turned around and saw that the pear soup was already prepared in front of him.
He: "??? Bro, burp~Have you ever had it~burp?"
"...No." Seeing his brother still looking at him, Dadan added a few more words, "I saw it clearly when I entered the store."
Erdan: “…”
Okay, he was choking and feeling dizzy.
When drinking this pear soup, they provide an open cup without a spoon or anything.
It was Erdan's first time to drink this thing and also his first time to get close to it. He was so curious that he didn't bother to observe anything else.
Uncle Su Qinghu just looked at them without saying a word, still holding a candied haws in his hand.
She was not the type to waste food, but the hawthorn she had just eaten was so sour that she was still recovering from the pain.
It would be nice if they were on display, and the leftovers could be given to him...
