Lin Xiao thought that his second uncle must have taken him back immediately. After all, it was already around ten o'clock, and if he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to catch lunch at home.
But unexpectedly, the second uncle did not rush home in a hurry.
After putting Lin Xiao's luggage in the car, he took people directly to a nearby shopping mall. "It's rare that I have free time. I'll take you to buy some things. Let's have lunch in the city and then go back."
Lin Xiao also felt that something was wrong, "I'm on vacation for a month. I can come here at some time later. It's not good for just the two of us to go shopping now."
"Hi! What's wrong?" Lin's father directly hooked Lin Xiao's neck and led him into the mall.
Father Lin rarely went to such a large shopping mall, and almost didn't find the entrance to the mall. In the end, Lin Xiao led the way.
"Let's go and buy you two pairs of clothes first." As soon as Father Lin came in, he saw a shop selling clothes at the elevator entrance on the second floor.
Father Lin insisted on dragging Lin Xiao there, so Lin Xiao was going.
I was very reluctant to go, "The clothes here are very expensive, and I don't even buy clothes in the mall now."
"Who said that?" Lin's father retorted, "Can we still open so many clothing stores? We've already come, let's buy two pieces first."
As Father Lin said, he picked up the clothes hanging on the shelf next to him and brought them to Lin Xiao for comparison.
Lin Xiao habitually looked at the price. When she saw the four digits before the decimal point, she was so frightened that she snatched the clothes and hung them back.
At this time, the salesperson in the store also came over and said, "This dress suits your son very well. You might as well try it on."
"No, no, no." Lin Xiao wanted to drag Dad Lin out.
Father Lin was a little curious about how expensive the clothes were to frighten his child like this. He picked up the price tag and looked at 300. Good guy, this is indeed a big shopping mall. A cotton-padded jacket is so expensive.
If Father Lin had to let himself go, he would never buy such an expensive cotton-padded jacket for himself.
But if the clothes were bought for Lin Xiao, he would not hesitate for more than three seconds.
To be honest, I was a little hesitant in the first two seconds when I saw the price.
Of course, you should also take time to reflect that you are now a rich man and can afford such clothes.
"Why don't you use it?" With Lin Xiao's strength, he could still hold Lin Xiao down easily, "You try it on and buy it if you wear it well. This... isn't too expensive."
There was a salesperson standing next to him. Lin Xiao was a face-conscious person. He didn’t want to say it was too expensive and didn’t want to buy it. He just said he didn’t like the style and wanted to look elsewhere.
Father Lin cannot refuse this reason.
But after standing in front of several clothing stores one after another, Lin Xiao said that she didn't like it.
"I have to buy two." Dad Lin said, "I still have to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year."
Lin Xiao bought Lin's father a cup of fruit tea, and the two sat on a bench in the mall to talk.
"Isn't that what children say?" Lin Xiao said, "I'm in my twenties now."
Dad Lin: "When you and Aqian were young, your family really didn't have the conditions. At that time, you couldn't be particular even if you wanted to."
Lin Xiao felt sorry, "I didn't mean that."
Father Lin continued: "So now that the conditions are better, I want to give you more good things."
Lin Xiao held a cup of warm fruit tea, and for some reason her eyes couldn't meet those of Father Lin. She always felt like there was sand in her eyes.
"The clothes I usually wear are quite good, so I really don't need to buy new ones." Lin Xiao muttered, "The price of clothes will increase before the Chinese New Year, and it will be the same if I buy them after the season." p>
"Then why are they the same?" Dad Lin said, "I know now that clothes are different every year. The clothes bought this year will be out of date next year."
Lin Xiao found it funny that such words could actually come from his second uncle's mouth, "When did our family ever believe this? I am not a fashion forward person either.
As long as the clothes are clean and tidy, that's what his second aunt told him when he was a child.
"It's just my wish." Father Lin laughed twice, "I have some money in my hand, and I want to spend some on you two children, but you still won't give me a chance?"
Lin Xiao gave it.
But he also bought one for each of Lin's father, Lin's mother, Lin Qian, and Lin Xiao's grandmother, using the money he earned from making videos.
"Hey, you kid is so interesting. You can make money for the store by buying and selling."
"Anyway, you have to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year."
Although the two are not father and son, they are very similar in their stubbornness and must do what they want to do.
Lin Xiao can't stop Lin's father from buying him clothes.
Father Lin can't stop Lin Xiao from buying it for them.
After buying clothes, the two of them ate duck blood and vermicelli soup on the basement floor.
Lin Xiao felt that his second uncle must have something to tell him.
He is a very discerning person, and he could see that Father Lin was a little nervous when he drove to the mall.
So he deliberately ate slowly to give Father Lin a chance to talk.
Sure enough, when his bowl of duck blood vermicelli was about to reach the bottom, Father Lin asked, "Shall we go back immediately after eating?"
Lin Xiao looked at the bowl in front of Father Lin, and had a premonition of what Father Lin was going to say. He obviously didn't want to argue, but he had the clothes he just bought at hand.
"Where else to go?"
Father Lin was obviously hesitant before saying this, "Would you like to see your father? His condition is much better now than before."
On the day he first found Lin Jianye, Lin's father once said, if Lin Xiao doesn't want to recognize this father, then don't recognize him.
Now he came to ask Lin Xiao if he wanted to see Lin Jianye.
Lin Xiao was silent for about a minute, and Lin's father knew his answer.
"Let's go back first." Dad Lin said, "Let's go home first!"
On the way to pick up Lin Xiao, Father Lin was probably hesitating about the question he just asked, but he only dared to give Lin Xiao one minute to answer.
At his age, he didn't know the correct answer to this matter, so how could Lin Xiao know? In that minute, he could only remain silent.
Father Lin picked up the bag next to him, as if he hadn't asked that question just now.
But after all, you can't take back what you said. Lin Xiao, who was originally cheerful, smiled a bit reluctantly now.
Dad Lin changed the subject, "If you buy pink clothes for your sister, will she wear them?"
"Yes, I think my sister looks good in pink."
The two of them had a smooth journey home. Lin Xiao greeted Lin's mother and grandma warmly, and took out the clothes bought at the mall for them to try on.
Lin Xiao is really afraid that the clothes she buys will not fit her.
But fortunately, his estimate of Lin's mother's stature was quite accurate, and Lin's clothes fit her perfectly.
However, the one given to grandma is a little bigger. Fortunately, it is winter now, and clothes are already stuffed inside, so it won’t look too big if you stuff more woolen sweaters.
"Just right!" Mother Lin said for grandma, "It's nice and warm."
Only Lin Qian has not tried it.
Lin Xiao put the clothes he bought next to Lin Qian, "Sister, you can try it. If the size doesn't fit, you can exchange it."
Lin Qian finally moved her eyes away from the food show and saw the pink woolen coat next to her.
