When Chen's mother walked out of the fitting room, her son was missing...
Xiaozhi's answer was: "My brother went to buy popsicles and will be back in a while."
Ma Chen didn't have any doubts about this. After all, she had one thing in front of her. She looked at herself in the mirror wearing new clothes, then looked at the price tag, and was in a state of hesitation.
Seeing his second aunt's confusion, Xiaozhi dug into his pocket, took out the money his cousin had just left for him, and made a decision directly like an uncle: "Waiter, come here, wrap it up."
"Little brat..."
"The money was given to me by my brother. He had already expected that you would like this dress. It's okay. Second aunt, it's not natural for a son to buy clothes for his mother. Don't worry about it."
Mother Chen was relieved when she heard this, but in the end, she paid the bill herself.
Under her glare, Xiaozhi did not dare to fight with her.
But then, he coaxed Mother Chen to try on pants and other styles of clothes.
After finishing the set, Chen Zui also came back. When he reached out his hand, Xiaozhi returned the money intact to him.
When he saw the packaging bag that had been paid and received, he knew that his mother was still not willing to let him spend money.
I had to yell at Xiaozhi: "Stupid."
Xiaozhi was wronged: "How dare I, a junior, compete with my elders..."
Chen Zui took out a popsicle and stuffed it directly into his mouth: "I'll cut off your brain when we get back."
"Don't mention it...he's so handsome..."
While she was in poverty, Chen's mother walked out of the fitting room again and saw a popsicle handed over by Chen Zui. Her sister passed it and took a bite. For some reason, she felt that the popsicle bought by her son was extra sweet.
Naturally, the next step was a wonderful time for shopping and shopping. Even when Chen was here, she, as a mother, could no longer spare the money.
At noon, the three of them had lunch at KFC. There were many people celebrating the festival, and most of the children were squeezing in line. Fortunately, Xiaozhi was able to squeeze in, and his hair could be used as a weapon.
When I got home after one o'clock, Chen's father woke up and was about to get out of the car.
I couldn't stop him, but I said I would come back early and have dinner together.
After he left, my aunt arrived not long after, and started chatting with Chen Zui as soon as she entered the room.
But the topic naturally turned to Xiaozhi. She didn't know that Xiaozhi had told Chen Zui that he wanted to do something in his career. She was just worried that the fights in school would make people look like ghosts or ghosts.
No matter how hard it is, what should I do with this little kid who can't even go to school?
Chen Zui comforted her a few words, and the phone started ringing.
Since I went to the home appliance store early in the morning, all the technicians who rushed to install it actually came to the door.
Chen Zui stopped pretending and showed his cards: "Mom, I bought you all the home appliances you fancy today and will deliver them to you shortly."
Mother Chen: "Ah?"
"We don't have a double-door refrigerator. Our small place can't compete."
"You kid..."
After saying that, Mother Chen wiped her hands, then came to the window and looked down. She actually saw the truck, and her emotions of distress and joy were a bit complicated for a time.
…
…
The next scene is a bit messy.
This one-and-a-half-bedroom hut in a red brick building was bustling like a vegetable market.
The man who came to install the air conditioner hung it outside the building. The man who came to turn on the water heater went into the bathroom to study. The man who came to turn on the TV was the most efficient and had already installed it on the wall. However, he and Chen's mother had some disputes over the price of recycling his old, big-head TV.
.
just..
"How come it's a hundred?"
"Sister, this piece of crap is worth fifty. Just dismantle it when you get back. Most of it has to be thrown away."
My aunt was sitting behind the folding table, playing with a hot water kettle, a new frying spoon, and some kitchen supplies.
After finally waiting for all the installation masters to retreat, everything was finished, and it was time to test again.
Turn on the faucet.
"It's warm, it's warm, this new one is good."
My aunt became a professional admonition: "That's not good, the price is here too."
My mother complained but couldn't hide her joy: "This kid, you tell me, he didn't even tell me. He bought so many, but it's actually useless to have them."
After the front foot finished speaking, the back foot entered the bedroom, took the air conditioner remote control and pressed it.
Mother Chen: "It's getting cold, it's getting cold, but it's already winter, so what's the use of buying this thing."
The aunt smiled: "Second sister, it's the cheapest time to buy it. You have to queue up to press the air conditioner on a hot day, which is troublesome."
"Really, then this counts as...what's the word for it."
"I can't remember either..."
Xiaozhi, who has not gone to school for two days: "Be prepared for a rainy day!"
My aunt was furious when she heard this: "You know, you know, why didn't I see you studying hard when I was in school!"
Xiaozhi looked aggrieved: "Mom, if I talk from now on, I will be like a dog..."
Chen's mother's freshness was not over yet. After testing the air conditioner, she went into the kitchen again. She looked at the latest non-stick pan that Chen bought and frowned: "Little sister, I remember that all new pans need to be brushed with lard. After brushing,
Only then can it be used.”
Auntie: "Sister, how old is that? It's not an iron pan. It's all coated now, so there's no need for it."
"Uh? Really?"
"Really."
"Then let's try frying some peanuts first?"
"Come."
My aunt was really cooperative and went to look in the refrigerator as she said that.
While playing with the new pot, looking at the new hot water kettle, and a bunch of messy gadgets, Mother Chen felt happy and troubled at the same time.
"Chen Zui, why don't you buy soy sauce bottles? What's the use? It's not like we don't have bottles at home."
"There's no need for a spice box. We have so many bottles and cans at home, the one inside can't be used as a spice box."
"besides......."
Mother Chen keeps nagging...
Xiaozhi, who was sitting behind the folding table with Chen Zui, felt a headache...
But when he looked at his brother, he had a smile on his face, which seemed to be quite helpful. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother, aren't you annoyed? Are every mothers like this? My mother's nagging is like chanting a curse."
, I really can’t stand it.”
Chen Zuizhi smiled: "I usually find it annoying, but not now. You are still young and you don't understand."
"Eh? What should I say?"
Chen Zui turned to look at his non-mainstream cousin: "Brother, do you know what the most exciting thing in the world is?"
Xiaozhi had a question mark on his face: "What?"
Chen Zui smiled: "The most satisfying thing is when you make money and spend it on your mother."
Xiaozhi was dubious, thinking why when I was most happy, I stole ten yuan from my mother to stay in an Internet cafe and order a bottle of Coke?
Chen Zui turned around and asked again: "Xiao Zhi, do you know when was the happiest time in the world?"
Xiaozhi tilted his head, so suspenseful that Chen Zui asked: "Ah, when is it?"
At this time, the sound of oil was everywhere in the kitchen, and Chen's mother's shout came: "Chen Zui, I just told you that you don't know how to buy anything. The rim of this pot is too shallow and the oil is too crumbly."
"besides...."
Chen paid no attention to his mother. He put his left hand casually on Xiaozhi's shoulder and said comfortably, "The happiest thing is when you spend money for your mother and she still nags you..."
