Panting, they caught up with their daughter, and the mother and daughter continued walking in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative.
On the way, Xu Damei kept mumbling, "I was released within two days, nothing happened, and dad didn't get promoted at all..."
"How many times have I told you not to mention this matter?" Lin Yulan pinched her daughter.
She was afraid that this stupid girl would go around talking nonsense and people in the same building would know that she was the one who hired someone to catch Lao Su. She would just have to live in the building. Even Qiangzi might be expelled from the factory...
Xu Damei wore a lot of clothes, so her arm didn't hurt when her mother pinched her down like this, but she still felt aggrieved.
"Look, how many years has it been? I'm still wearing this tattered coat! When can dad get some cloth to make me new clothes?" She pulled off the patches on her cuffs a few times to look at the tattered clothes.
Quite unpleasant to the eye.
Lin Yulan said "Ouch" repeatedly, "You said your head is so big, what is in it? Now you are almost out of food, and you still want to wear new clothes all day long..."
"I just kept thinking about it, why does Song Xiaomei in my class have new clothes to wear, but I don't? She even has the word "beautiful" in her name, but I am still pretty...why?"
Mentioning her classmate Song Xiaomei, Xu Damei suddenly felt sad and aggrieved. She suddenly stopped leaving and sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum, "Ahhhhhhh... I want new clothes..."
Her mother hurriedly pulled her up and said, "How old are you? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
"I wear these patchwork clothes every day, and I don't even have new clothes for the New Year. I've had enough of this kind of life, ugh..."
She continued to fuss for a while, and she felt bored, so she got up and dusted herself off, and continued walking to the supply and marketing cooperative with her mother, "I don't have new clothes to wear during the New Year, but at least I need to buy more candies and cookies..."
"
Speaking of biscuits, Xu Damei started chattering again, "If you want Little Sisters Biscuits from the Prairie Heroes, Golden Rooster biscuits are also fine. Song Xiaomei brought them to school to eat, and I want to take them to school to eat too."
"Song Xiaomei's father is the director of the district committee. Is your father the director?"
Lin Yulan poked her daughter's head, "We compete with each other all the time about food or clothing. Why don't you compete with Song Xiaomei in studying? You are already in the first year of high school, and your academic performance is so poor. You only get 10 points out of 100 points on the math test...
…”
"Ah ah ah, mom, you are so annoying." Xu Damei covered her ears.
"Why am I so annoying? Am I right? You kid is just spoiled by your father!"
Xu Damei snorted disdainfully, "Are you still talking about me? Don't you also love to compare with the Su family next door? You think dad's salary is not as high as Uncle Su's. By the way, you haven't figured out that Auntie will have a son..."
Lin Yulan was furious when she heard this, "Damn girl!"
Seeing that her mother was about to hit her again, Xu Damei hurriedly dodged.
"Don't hit, don't hit," she raised her hand to cover her face, "I'm kidding..."
"Huh!" Lin Yulan said angrily, "You have to be lucky that I didn't give birth to a son. If I had a son, you girl wouldn't even have a voice at home. You would be redundant."
"It's impossible for you to give birth to a son anyway," Xu Damei said with a proud tone, "Oh, I'm the only daughter you have in this life, and you still have to count on me to support you in your old age."
During the quarrel, they had already arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as the two people stepped through the door, they heard someone shouting loudly through a loudspeaker: "There is no need to wait in line for numbers 300 and above. There is not enough flour, rice, cooking oil, candy, and biscuits. We will wait in line tomorrow."
"We've been waiting in line for so long, why do we say it's out of stock when it's out of stock?" Many people said excitedly.
"That's right, look at my food purchase certificate. How many days have I not bought rice? I think the Chinese New Year is coming soon and I want to let the children have some rice porridge. I have been queuing for so long..."
"I happen to have No. 300. Can't I buy No. 300? Please be accommodating."
The salesperson said: "No. 300 is no longer available, let's go, let's go, keep the ones before number 299."
The eldest and second son of the Su family arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and had been waiting for more than an hour.
They anxiously asked the third child, "What number are we on?"
The third child took the coat that his father left for him, raised his eyebrows, and said with a bright smile: "It happens to be No. 299. We were so lucky, we almost couldn't buy it."
Suddenly seeing the third brother smiling, his two brothers were stunned for a moment.
The third child has been silent and smiling these days. Why did he suddenly laugh?
Seemingly seeing his brothers' surprise, Su Wennian said: "I thought too much before, thinking that my parents didn't want me anymore and wanted to send me to the countryside, so I didn't dare to go home..."
He turned to look at his second brother and said: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I've misunderstood you these days. I really didn't know you came to my uncle's house to look for me."
A few brothers explained the misunderstanding clearly in a few words.
Only now did Su Nanbing realize that he had been deceived by Xu Fengjiao, and that the words she relayed were not said by Lao San at all.
"Third brother, I also want to apologize to you. I believed what the old witch said, but I didn't believe you..."
Before the second child could finish speaking, the eldest son said "tsk", "I'm so sour. Brothers, what can you say to be sorry?"
"It's four brothers!" Su Xiaosi suddenly jumped out at this time.
The three elder brothers looked at the fourth brother, surprised and confused, "Why are you here too?"
"Sixth sister drank milk and went to bed. I was bored at home. Mom agreed that I would come out to help you."
Su Zhiyuan smiled and said: "As long as you don't cause trouble, you can also help."
Su Xiaosi didn't listen carefully to what the elder brother said. It went in with his left ear and came out with the right ear.
He was staring at the snacks on the shelf and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Dad said, one bag of sugar for each person, buy four bags of sugar...and biscuits, buy one can, no, buy two cans..."
"You're talking nonsense. How can our family have the money to buy so much candy?" The second child swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, "As for cookies, don't even think about them. I haven't eaten cookies many times in my entire life."
Su Xiaosi pouted, "What are you going to buy for the New Year?"
His third brother said: "Half a catty of oil, half a catty of salt, two catties of Fuqiang powder, one catty of soybeans, two catties of mung beans, five catties of Xiaozhan rice, and a bag of sugar..."
"There is only one bag of candy again." Su Xiaosi looked unhappy.
Su Wennian touched his head and said, "I will give you some more of my candy tonight."
Hearing what Third Brother said, most of the sadness on Su Xiaosi's face dissipated, and he said with a smile: "Third Brother is the best!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but jumped a few times in excitement, and several of the shriveled fruit cores in his pocket fell out.
Lin Yulan suddenly saw the familiar fruit core on the ground, and her face instantly stretched.
Wow! The little bastard who hit me before turned out to be Su Xiaosi!
