"Well, okay, thank you comrade from the police." Huang Xiulan thanked her gratefully, and immediately took Cen Li to the supermarket in the next town.
There is also a commercial city here, but buying things there requires haggling. Huang Xiulan was afraid of being cheated, so she simply went to the supermarket where the prices were clearly marked, making buying and selling easy.
That is, the prices there will be a little more expensive, but the styles are definitely better than those at commercial malls and roadside stalls.
Huang Xiulan was holding her breath this time. Seeing that the price was still within an acceptable range, she heartily replaced Cenli with new ones from beginning to end. She bought a total of three sets of new clothes and a pair of shoes.
and two sets of pajamas.
Afterwards, he took her to the Xinhua Bookstore in the city.
This bookstore was the largest and most luxurious in the city in the early days. There were people guarding and checking the door, and things needed to be stored before entering.
The first time she came to a place like this, Huang Xiulan seemed very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
In the end, it was Cen Li who helped with all the procedures.
The bookstore occupies a large area with three floors. Extracurricular books are on the first floor. At this time, there are already many adults and children standing or squatting in the aisle with books to read.
Huang Xiulan held Cen Li's hand and took a deep breath before saying, "Xiao Li, mom doesn't understand this. Get whatever books you need by yourself. From now on, when we have books ourselves, we won't ask for them from others."
In fact, there were few paper books at this time and they were very expensive, especially in large bookstores like this. Cen Li didn't want to come.
But Huang Xiulan couldn't stand it and wanted to buy it for her. Finally, after shopping around, Cen Li chose a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Although Huang Xiulan didn't read much, she had heard of the well-known masterpiece "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". She knew it was a good book, and the book looked quite thick. She thought that Cen Li could read it for a long time, so she was satisfied.
.
After leaving the bookstore, Huang Xiulan reached out and touched Cen Li's head, "Xiao Li, from today on, let's raise our chests and be a good person. Mom will work hard to make money. If others have it, you will have it too."
"Well, thank you, Mom."
Cen Li also felt very satisfied. All the regrets she had as a child had been made up for at this time.
When we returned, the sky had completely darkened. As they walked under the starry night, the mother and daughter felt warmer than ever before. Even the night breeze was gentle.
When they went out to the stall the next day, Huang Xiulan was busy entertaining guests. Cen Li was wearing new clothes and went to Cen Maosheng's house alone carrying the old things.
He threw the things down and turned away without even looking at them.
This attitude made Cen Cuizhi step forward and kick the things away fiercely, and yelled, "They are all junk and should be thrown into the garbage heap!"
Looking at the fashionable clothes on Cen Li, something called jealousy appeared in Cen Ling's heart for the first time.
In the past, Cen Li was like a little maid in her eyes, and she was a classy young lady, so she was happy to give away anything she didn't need, and she would be very happy.
But now, the maid started to look like a young lady, which made her suddenly feel very uncomfortable.
Unknown to Cen Li, after throwing away the things, she felt physically and mentally relaxed as never before, as if she had thrown away the timid self.
Finally, I no longer have to wrong myself for these trivial favors, and no longer have to be condescending to my uncle and his family.
