Sitting in the taxi, I looked sideways at the noisy and lively streets outside the window. Maybe I had stayed in Luomenling for too long. I was used to looking at the villagers carrying hoes and the slow-paced life. Now I stepped into it.
The city feels like a world away to me.
I don’t remember how many times I came here, but I was deeply impressed every time. Although I seem to have never left any traces here, every time I come here, it seems like I’m meeting for the first time.
Passing by the entrance of a shopping mall, I gently opened my mouth: "Stop the car."
Third sister looked at me with some confusion: "Didn't you say you go home directly?"
"Wait a minute, I want to buy something."
I responded softly, took out the money and handed it to the driver. I carried my bag and took San Meier directly into the mall. Although San Meier was a little confused about my behavior, as soon as she entered the mall, she was instinctively attracted by everyone.
I was attracted by the branded fashions in the window. Although I followed my steps, my eyes were still attracted by those early autumn new styles that were put on the shelves early...
"Jiaolong, look at the olive green trench coat their model is wearing. You must look very handsome in it. It will be perfect for you when the weather gets cooler..."
I looked at her and smiled: "Buy the things I want to use first, and then I will buy you whatever you like, but you have to look for clothes suitable for your age group. If you are over 20 years old, don't think about it."
ah."
I have a lot of clothes at home. Although they are new every year, I think the advantage of men's clothing is that as long as you have a good figure, no one can tell whether it is a new style or not. Besides, except for my leather jacket, everything is custom-made. As long as I
If your body shape has not changed, then there is no need to spend money to buy it in the mall.
After listening to my words, Sanmei'er sighed a little melancholy: "But I don't like children's clothes."
"But you are a child now. Didn't my aunt just come here this year? Her breasts haven't fully developed yet."
"Jiaolong!"
The third sister was anxious, "Don't irritate me, okay? I want to cry when I think about this. How am I going to see Han Zheng? I'm more than ten years younger than him all of a sudden, and I'm too young."
I smiled, put my arm around her shoulders and entered a large maternity and baby products toy store, "Actually, let's think about it from another angle. You should be snickering. Your face is still in the development stage. You know, I am losing collagen.
Protein, when I am thirty or forty years old, you will have a great time, and not everyone has this opportunity."
Sanmei'er shook her head helplessly: "But I want to keep pace with you. It's nothing else. I'm just afraid that Han Zheng won't accept it..."
"Why doesn't he accept it? You are still you."
I smiled reassuringly and looked at the waiter walking towards me, "Welcome, do you two need anything?"
"I want to see the toys that seven- and eight-year-olds like."
"Okay, all the children's toys in our store comply with national health and safety requirements. Are you a boy or a girl? Do you want toys that are educational and more hands-on? I would like to introduce them to you in detail.
……"
Forgive me, my understanding of toys is still at a very elementary stage. Looking at the dazzling array of building block puzzles and remote control cars, I pointed at it and said, "Well, cars and so on, and that small plane, as long as they are for sale
If it's good and the child likes it, wrap it up for me. Don't make it too big, but make it easy to hold."
Of course, the waiter likes a customer like me who is not fussy or fussy. She was extremely patient in explaining to me the categories and bagging them. When paying, Sanmei'er looked at the large bag of various toys and couldn't help but be speechless: "
Jiaolong, why did you buy so many toys?"
"Give it away."
I responded, and something suddenly occurred to me when I was taking out the money. I filtered the time in my mind and looked at the waiter, "Well... well, are there any toys suitable for babies under seven months old?"
"Yes."
The waiter smiled sweetly at me and took a colorful wooden toy like a piano and came over. "Do you like this? Babies who are six or seven months old are curious about everything around them. They should not be too old yet."
They can play, but they like music and will laugh very happily. As long as they are struck with this small wooden hammer, these keys will make different sounds. This material is mainly made of basswood, and the paint is also hygienic and environmentally friendly. As long as it is used daily,
Do a good job of disinfecting it after the baby has finished playing, so as not to worry about the baby getting curious and biting it.”
I took the small wooden hammer and knocked it twice, and the brightly colored keys produced a pleasant sound of music. My heart softened inexplicably, and I nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll take this."
"Jiaolong, this is so expensive..."
Sanmei'er glanced at the price tag and whispered in my ear. I glanced at it and saw that a baby toy actually cost several hundred yuan. It was indeed expensive, but I still opened my mouth and said, "It's worth it."
I don’t know when I can give this toy away. Maybe I won’t be able to give it away at all, but I want to buy it. If possible, I really want to see my baby and treat him as an ordinary child. Dear
Kiss him and hug him. I don’t know if it’s because of my age, but I feel that my feminine feelings are particularly obvious in children.
When I was a teenager, except for having children, I didn’t like any children, including my own brother. I thought he was very annoying and he was simply the destroyer of the earth. I will never forget that Xiaobao chased away my chicken and I silently felt sorry for him.
At that time, I thought that the chicken was really going to be tortured and went crazy, but now, when I see such a scene, I think, naughty boy, clever girl, the child should be more lively, it looks so lovable.
I don’t know when this mentality changed. It’s quite subtle.
After buying toys, I took Sanmei'er to buy some clothes for her. Her clothes were all those that Sanmeier wore when we were in the countryside. In addition, neither of us were particular about it at that time, and we were not in the mood to be particular about it, so
Every pair of her pants is open to the ankles, and paired with drawstring shoes, she looks like a child in the early 1990s. Now that she is back, she should dress up her third sister well, let alone
, as soon as I changed into new clothes, my eyes lit up: "Hey, this little girl is so cool."
Third sister looked at me and curled her lips: "Do you think it is appropriate to use the word "water spirit" for a twenty-eight-year-old woman?"
I couldn't help but want to laugh, "Okay, don't worry about this, okay? You've almost adapted to it, haven't you?"
The third sister looked at the high heels with some resentment: "Jiaolong, can I ask to buy a pair? I just want to enjoy myself at home..."
"No."
I raised my eyebrows and saw the candy store speeding up: "You are now in the second growth stage. You were not tall before. As your guardian, I must be more responsible for your growth and development."
"God..."
Third sister's face twitched, "Jiaolong, to the outside world, should I call you sister or aunt..."
"It depends on your mood."
I responded, picked some more candies and paid, and then looked at her with satisfaction: "Okay, we can go home."
The third sister made a sound and looked at the things I bought: "I can't take it anymore. Are you buying so many things for children to see an important friend of yours?"
I nodded: "It's quite important. Let's go home."
There were indeed a lot of things to buy, plus some mountain goods given by the villagers before leaving. Sanmei'er and I were out of breath after carrying them. Seeing that we were about to reach the exit of the mall, we were about to go out and take a taxi, when a voice came from a store.
Just an instinctive pause that affected my steps——
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Your waiter doesn't know the goods. Come out to your store manager and let him see if I am a serious mink. Let me tell you, I will sell it to you now.
You all took advantage of the boss, otherwise I would be worth $18,000 just wearing these clothes outside, you know?"
Turning my face slightly, I clearly saw a familiar figure in my memory. Although her voice was still as noisy as ever, standing at the front desk of the store and following the waiter's habit of gesticulating, I could see from her back.
Looking at it, I have to admit that she has lost weight, and she has lost a lot of weight.
There are only two reasons that can make a woman in her fifties lose weight. One is disease, and the other is the pressure of life. I thought of An Qi, and couldn't help but relate it to her behavior of selling mink at the moment.
, the waiter looked obviously uninterested, and sighed slightly, if her life was good, how could such a decent person like her take out her beloved mink and sell it?
"Auntie, we don't recycle minks, and you don't come here once or twice. You come every two or three days. If there are so many people out there who want to buy your minks, just go and sell them.
Ah, we don’t accept old goods here, nor do we recycle items that are not refurbished. Besides, your mink was already made three or four years ago. Not to mention the store manager, even if the general manager came over, he would not agree to accept your mink.
of."
"Why don't you accept it? I bought it from your store. Although it's not your store, it's a chain store. Isn't it a big brand? Lifetime guarantee..."
"Auntie, we do provide a lifetime guarantee of free cleaning and buckle replacement. If you need it, we can also change the color and style for you, but we do not recycle it."
It can be seen that this waiter has explained it countless times, and his face shows that he is about to explode but must hold back.
"That won't work! I'm telling you, since it's for life, you have to refund me if I don't wear it anymore! If you don't refund me, I will come every now and then. If you don't give me an explanation by the end of next month, I will go find the news.
Xie, go call the police!”
The waiter was about to cry: "Auntie, aren't you being arrogant? You have been wearing this mink for so many years, and if there is no quality problem, it is useless to go to the Consumers Association."
"Hey! You're right, I'm just messing around. I don't want much, just fifteen thousand. You got a big deal! Just give me fifteen thousand and I'll leave! Otherwise, I'll come back in two days
, I’ll just do it! Anyway, I have plenty of time!!”
Third sister pulled me aside and followed my gaze as she glanced inside the store: "Jiaolong, what are you looking at? There is an acquaintance there..."
I nodded, "A very familiar person."
I never expected that on the first day I came back, I would see my aunt...
Then he came back to his senses and raised his feet: "Let's go."
The third sister followed me carrying her things: "Why don't you go say hello if you know me?"
"unnecessary."
I spoke expressionlessly. It wasn't until I got back into the taxi that my expression became a little tense. I thought about my aunt's back, which had lost a lot of weight, and her messy hair, which she had obviously not taken care of. She was wearing this mink to show off.
I can still vividly remember how it turned out, why is it like this now? Although my eldest sister hurt many people's hearts, and my sister-in-law was so hurt that she finally said harsh words to break off the relationship, but according to my sister-in-law's temperament, it is impossible to ignore her.
