Li Ke thought that her mother-in-law liked light-colored clothes, so she went to the store to pick out a simple and elegant cardigan to take back.
My father-in-law likes to drink tea. Let’s go to Friendship Square and buy him a box of tea.
Then buy some fruits and pastries so that the whole family can eat them.
Finally, when the bell rang, everyone rushed out like wild horses.
It is no exaggeration to say that from the time the bell rang to the time it fell, there was almost no one in the classroom.
It's good, not crowded anymore.
Chen Xingyi carried a bag with one hand and held Li Ke with the other hand and walked slowly out.
The two of them went to the store first to take a look. Wang Xiangjun was entertaining customers. Li Ke took a quick look around and found that the clothes in the store should be available for another week.
Li Ke picked out a beige-colored cardigan, said hello to Wang Xiangjun, and left.
They went to Friendship Square to pick out a box of tea, went to the market to buy fruits and pastries, and then they started on their way home.
I haven't been home for just a month, and I feel homesick.
When the two arrived home, their mother-in-law Li Fang was cooking.
I could smell the fragrance in the yard.
Li Fang is stewing big stick bones with pickled cabbage, Chen Xingyi's favorite food.
Seeing the two of them returning home, my parents-in-law and mother-in-law were very happy, "I worked hard at school last week. I made stewed big stick bones. You two will eat more later."
"Mom, my wife-in-law picked out a cardigan for you. Look at the color. It's so handsome. And dad, my wife-in-law bought you a box of tea. She went to Friendship Square to buy it." Chen Xing
As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hands.
"Why did you buy something for us two? It was just a waste of money." Li Fang said happily.
"Chen Xingyi, keep an eye on the pot. I'm going to try on new clothes." Li Fang took off her apron and handed it to Chen Xingyi.
"Sanya, let's play with your uncle for a while. Grandpa is going to make a pot of tea and try the new tea leaves that my daughter-in-law bought for me.
It's better to be a daughter-in-law, unlike my unsatisfactory son who can't even think of bringing a thread to his old father." Chen Xiangdong said and handed Sanya to Chen Xingyi.
Li Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he liked the duplicity of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Every time I talk about spending money indiscriminately, I happily try on new clothes as soon as possible and brew new tea leaves.
It's the kind that makes the person giving the gift a sense of accomplishment.
Li Ke likes to buy gifts for people like this. The kind of elders who are coy and reluctant to use them, or who are picky and dissatisfied because they are too expensive. It is difficult for people to have the will to give gifts anymore and it is very difficult.
Please.
Soon, Li Fang came out wearing new clothes. She also wore a light green skirt, which looked particularly spring-like.
"How's it going? Does it look good? Put a white coat on top and it will be all in one." Li Fang happily turned around and accepted the compliments from the whole family.
"Chen Xingyi, where's yours? You didn't even bring a thread to your mother?"
"Mom, if Li Ke and I are not married, then we are a family, so if she buys it, doesn't it mean that I buy it. Besides, your son got first place in the exam, aren't you happy enough?" Chen Xingyishao
There is no shame in saying that there is a fire.
"Huh, I'm too lazy to talk to you. How did Keke do in the exam this time?" Li Fang asked Li Ke's hand with concern.
"Not bad, ninth in the class and forty-sixth in grade."
"Our Coco is very good. He got into the top ten in the class in the first exam. During this period of time, he has to study and take care of the store. It must be very hard, right? Come on, let's go chat."
"Chen Xiangdong, my new clothes can't see any fumes. You should hurry up and cook and stop playing with your tea."
Chen Xiangdong reluctantly put down his tea cup and put on his red apron. He had just finished washing the tea and hadn't taken a sip yet.
Chen Xiangdong was cooking while chatting with Chen Xingyi, "How are you and your wife lately?"
"It's pretty good, honey mixed with oil."
"Okay, men should be more generous. No matter who is right or wrong, the past is over. Since life is still going on, don't dwell on old scores, you know?"
Chen Xing nodded, "I know."
"By the way, I heard from your sister that if you are number one in your school, you can get admitted to a key university. You are lucky this time. You got first place in the exam. Dad won't ask you to take the key university. You can get a bachelor's degree next year.
The incense has been burned, but our old Chen family has never had an undergraduate student." Chen Xiangdong looked at his son expectantly.
"Old man, you look down on people, don't you? Why can't I take the key exam? Not only can I take the key exam, but I can also take the top university exam."
"Okay, don't brag, lower the fire, you will burn the pot dry later."
In the kitchen, father and son were chatting while cooking.
In the hall, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were drinking tea and talking.
Li Fang took a sip and said, "This tea is so fragrant. I don't know how to drink tea well. Don't buy such expensive tea for your dad in the future."
"It's not expensive, Mom. It's rare for my dad to like it."
"Good boy, thank you. Thanks to you, Chen Xingyi is willing to go back to school and study again.
You don’t even know that your eldest sister called at noon today and said that Chen Xingyi came first in the exam. Your dad and I were so happy that we wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha to fulfill our vows." Li Fang said while wiping her tears.
"Mom, I'm happier than you are that Chen Xingyi is willing to go to college. He's so smart, it's a pity that he doesn't study."
"Here you go, my mother secretly gave this to me when I got married. It's been with me for so many years in the blink of an eye. My mother didn't give you any decent gift when you married Chen Xingyi."
As her mother-in-law spoke, she took off the jade bracelet on her hand and gave it to Li Ke.
The jadeite bracelet is green and transparent, the planting water is excellent, and there is no trace of impurities. It is not cheap at first glance.
Li Ke quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, you are wearing the bracelet. It is not convenient for me to wear jewelry when I go to school. If such a good bracelet gets bumped, I will be heartbroken."
"It's okay. If it's not convenient for you to wear it, just leave it alone." Li Fang insisted.
"Mom, please wear it first and then give it to me when I give birth to a child. If you give birth to a son, I will save it for your grandson-in-law. If you give birth to a daughter, you will give it to her as a dowry when she grows up."
Anyway, it's still early to have a child, and I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet. Why don't I wait until I graduate from college to consider this matter?
When Li Fang heard this, she was very happy, "Really? Are you willing to follow me and have children for the rest of your life?"
Li Ke nodded, "I really want to spend the rest of my life with Chen Xing. We will definitely have children sooner or later, but it's just that we are still students now, so it's inconvenient."
In addition, we are still young and immature, so we cannot be qualified parents yet. So we decided to wait until later to have children."
Li Fang nodded, "Your main task now is to take the college entrance examination. Mom, I want to ask you to supervise Chen Xingyi well and let him finish high school. Don't drop out of school like you did in the second grade of junior high school."
