Chapter 62: Shopping
The next day, my mom pulled me out of my sleep early.
My favorite thing is to sleep, and I asked my mother impatiently, why are you calling me so early.
My mother pulled me and scolded me in a low voice: "Xuanxuan has made breakfast, you are still sleeping here, how old you are, you are about to get married, there is no shame." ”
"Got it......" I shouted impatiently, I know that in the minds of the older generation of old people, laziness is equivalent to not doing a good job, a long time ago, in the countryside, lazy people could not marry a daughter-in-law.
I laughed at my mother's feudal thoughts, she almost beat me up in anger, and since then, I don't talk back anymore, anyway, I have a lot of things.
I rubbed my eyes, washed up, and went downstairs.
My dad is gone and back to work.
Ning Meixuan had already prepared breakfast, and I felt so hungry that I would eat it when I got on my stomach.
When I was a child, my family was relatively poor, so I was not a picky eater, and I couldn't help it when I saw this table full of sumptuous food.
This table is full of my favorite sweet potato porridge, fried eggs, pancakes, flatbreads, pickles, duck eggs, toons......
My saliva was dripping when I saw it, and as soon as I picked up a pancake and was about to eat it, my mother hit me and glared at me with a straight face: "Have you washed your face, like a hungry wolf." ”
"Washed. "I took a big bite of the pancake, full of fragrance, although I am not a picky eater, but this is better than my mother's cooking, I didn't expect Ning Meixuan to have such a ability.
"Xuanxuan hasn't come yet, you just eat, is it polite. "My mom knocked me again.
"It's fine, and there are no outsiders. "I didn't care about it, I ate it myself.
At this time, Ning Meixuan also came over and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's okay, and there are no outsiders." ”
Ning Meixuan's last sentence was like the sound of mosquitoes, but I heard it and didn't care.
I don't know if it's because the food is delicious or if my appetite is good, but this morning, I ate a lot.
Ning Meixuan kept looking at me eating and laughing, I didn't care, just ate it.
During this period, my mother said to me, "Don't leave after eating, take me and Xuanxuan to the street at noon." ”
I asked my mom, "What are you doing on the street?"
My mother said, "Xuanxuan finally came once, I want to buy a few clothes for Xuanxuan." ”
Ning Meixuan hurriedly shouted: "Don't, Auntie, that's too wasteful." ”
My mom said, "It's okay, it's hard to come here, at least have a good time." ”
I didn't say anything, and even if I didn't want to go, I knew I couldn't escape.
For dinner, I took my mother and Ning Meixuan to the street.
The market is very small, there are only a few streets, but there are still few people on the street, and it is far less prosperous than the big city.
There are countless people in the big city who go shopping leisurely every day, but they are so rich, and everyone in this village is so busy, so hard, but still so poor, maybe some things are not just hard work.
Walking on the street, I suddenly remembered that tomorrow is my cousin Zhang Yan's wedding, I thought if I should buy some gifts, come back so far away, I can't say anything without buying something.
At this time, my mother dragged Ning Meixuan into a clothing store, and I shouted that I was going to buy some gifts for Zhang Yan, saying that they should wait for me here, they didn't care, and then I left.
I walked aimlessly, I didn't know what to buy when I thought about it, I knew to ask Ning Meixuan in advance, women must understand women very well and know what women like.
Walking up to a rag doll shop, I thought, girls should like rag dolls, and this rag doll is beautiful, I went in and picked out a white cloth bear, and then walked back.
I went back to the clothing store, and my mother and Ning Meixuan were still picking out clothes.
When I went, they had already picked them out and were at the cash register, as if they were pulling and pulling, and I was stunned, wouldn't they quarrel?
So I hurriedly ran over, pulled the two of them apart, and yelled at them, "What are you doing?
At this time, my mother pulled me, held the money in her hand, and then handed it to me, saying, "Give this to Xuanxuan, how can my mother buy her a gift to make her pay?"
"It's right to be a junior and buy clothes for your elders, how can you break the bank? Besides, the money has already been paid, Auntie, you can put it away!" Ning Meixuan said.
"That's not good, Tetsuko, hurry up and return the money to Xuanxuan. My mom pulled me and said.
"You just put it away. I turned to Ning Meixuan and said.
"Then there is no reason to come back. Ning Meixuan still didn't want it.
"It's all my own family, don't be polite to my mother. I said impatiently.
I'm always staying here, and the waiters are looking at us with monsters, and I don't think we can keep talking here.
"Do you treat me as your own?" Ning Meixuan lowered her head and smiled, her face flushed.
"Well, take it quickly. My mom also hurriedly said.
"Hmm. I handed the money to Ning Meixuan, who lowered her head and took the money.
Then I dragged them out.
Walking outside, Ning Meixuan looked at me and shouted, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "You just buy a cloth bear?"
"What's the matter? Girls should like bush bears. I looked at Ning Meixuan suspiciously.
"How can you give a bear when you get married, and you can also send one, which is unlucky. Ning Meixuan laughed at me.
"Isn't this bear pretty?" said my mother, who didn't know why, with a puzzled face.
"This marriage is a tie between the two, a symbolic thing like a doll, of course, you can't just give a bill, and it's also unlucky for you to send a bear. Ning Meixuan looked at me and said.
"Oh, I really haven't heard of it, what's unlucky, so what should I send?" I asked Ning Meixuan.
"When people get married, they must have children, and if you give a bear, do you let others misunderstand that you say that someone else has a bear child, isn't that a curse? Go, I'll take you to pick. Ning Meixuan pulled me and walked forward.
I pouted and muttered that I really didn't know there was such a thing.
"It's a pity for this bear monster. My mom was tinkering with this in the back and couldn't help but laugh.
I know that my mother is a thrifty person, and it takes a lot of love to be able to take Ning Meixuan to the street.
If this bear was so wasteful in the past, buying things blindly, it is estimated that my mother would have scolded me again, but Ning Meixuan is here, and my mother is quite giving me face.
"What a waste, I just give it to her. I said to my mom.
Then, I handed the bear to Ning Meixuan and said, "Give it to you." ”
"Thank you. Ning Meixuan hugged the bear, grinning, her face flushed.
"Hey, no, isn't this bear bad! How can I give it to Xuanxuan!" my mother immediately exclaimed with a straight face.
"Auntie, it's okay, this is not a wedding gift, I'm fine, I like this cloth bear very much!" Ning Meixuan smiled and leaned on the cloth bear and kissed it, her face full of satisfaction.
"It's fine. I said to my mom.
Then, Ning Meixuan took me to a boutique.
Ning Meixuan bought a pair of crystal lovers and hairpins.
I asked her, "What's the point about that?"
"Of course, although this hairpin is cheap, it represents a married couple and a white-headed old man, and the crystal lover represents sweetness and never separation. Ning Meixuan said to me with her eyebrows fluttering.
"Oh? "I haven't given any wedding gifts before, and I haven't done much research on this.
My mother didn't buy any gifts, because the custom here is that the elders generally don't buy gifts for the younger ones, and the younger ones only give money when they get married. I've lived here for so many years, and this is still acceptable. Because after all, the countryside is not as particular as the big cities.
I didn't ask who my cousin was married to, and I didn't bother to care, and if I did, I might not know, and besides, I'll find out tomorrow.
My mother took Ning Meixuan shopping again and didn't go back until the afternoon.
I ate lunch outside, and when I got home, I felt like I was tired.
It doesn't matter who you go shopping with, whether it's your mother, your girlfriend, or an ordinary friend, as long as you accompany a woman, it's always a man who is tired of shopping.
But I can't help it if I'm tired, it's a responsibility, who will go if I don't go.
I was lying on my bed in my bedroom when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it was Ning Meixuan.
