Chapter 5 Embarrassment
Thinking that it had been more than two hours since I first saw the baby girl, and I didn't know how long she had been discarded before I picked her up, I was afraid that I should have breastfed her.
It stands to reason that I should have bought her milk powder and bottles and fed her.
But the thought that I had to go to the store to buy milk powder in person made me stumble again.
It's not like I've never seen milk powder, I know how big and eye-catching it is, if I go to the mall and buy it...... Then I will undoubtedly become a dazzling light source in the mall.
But dragging it out like this is not a solution. Listening to the baby's cry, I was also distraught.
Mom, isn't it just to buy milk powder, not to buy condoms and sanitary napkins, I dare to hide from the women's toilet even when I jerk off, and I don't believe that buying a can of milk powder can stump me.
At that time, after a short ideological struggle in my heart, I finally made up my mind. With his right hand, he touched the RMB in his pocket that was originally going to be given to the beckoning girl, and after confirming that the money was still there, he resolutely left the house and went to the nearby supermarket to buy milk powder bottles.
I didn't dare to go to those large supermarkets, although I knew that the quality of milk powder there must be better, but there were so many people there that it was easy for me as a high school student to buy milk powder to attract people's attention, so I went to a small private store along the bridge. I've been to that shop a few times before, and I've been there a few times when I've been in junior high school, and I've bought things like popsicles, stinky tofu, and instant noodles a few times, and I'm kind of familiar with the owner.
When I entered the shop, I saw the fat-headed, big-eared, honest-faced shopkeeper sitting behind a wooden counter with his chin in one hand and a cigarette in his hand, looking at a small TV set opposite.
Because it was facing away from me, I also hesitated for a moment and took a deep breath before finally speaking.
"Ahem, boss, I want to buy something. I said with some humility.
Interrupted by me, the boss came back to his senses, turned his head, a small fat face faced me, thin eyes stared at my face, after seeing my appearance, the boss casually pointed to the shelf in the store and said, "Just look at it yourself." ”
The boss didn't seem to see that I was a little embarrassed, I felt a little hot on my face, stiffened, swallowed, and finally asked, "Uh, that...... Boss, is there any milk powder and bottles for sale here?"
"Oh, milk powder, milk powder, milk powder is available, we don't have milk bottles. The boss was obviously a little surprised, but soon his expression changed back to normal.
"That'...... I just need to buy milk powder. ”
"Oh, what brand do you want?"
What brand? I don't know anything about milk powder and the like, how can I open the button, and I am speechless.
The boss seemed to see my mistake and asked, "How old is the baby?"
How big is it? Does it have anything to do with milk powder? I was a little stunned at the time. In fact, at that time, I had no idea that the length of time of birth had a lot to do with milk powder. There is some difference between 0~6 months of milk powder and later milk powder.
I thought of the baby I picked up and said, "Just a few days old." ”
"Oh, I just got born. Then you choose ......," said the uncle, the boss enthusiastically stood up from his seat, and then strode to the back of the shelves full of goods, and brought a bag of milk powder with a grinning baby on the blue and white packaging.
I saw that the brand of milk powder was Abbott.
"You chose Abbott, there are a lot of people who buy it. ”
"Oh, okay, how much?"
I'm not going to procrastinate any longer, I'm going to pay for it quickly.
“250。 ”
The boss took a puff of his cigarette and said.
250!?
The price quoted by the boss really shocked me, and this area of milk powder directly asked for a quarter of the money in my pocket. I'll take it, why didn't I know that milk powder was so expensive, I relied on it, and I had to stick it to my stomach in a bag if I went on like this! Hehe, it's more vivid)
I was stunned for half a second, but I knew that I had done it, and I had to buy it at this point.
In the end, I still took out 300 yuan and asked my boss to find money.
The boss took the money, looked at me meaningfully for a second, and then walked to the cashier and began to look for change.
When I was giving change, the boss asked me with a smile intentionally or unintentionally: "Did you have a child?"
I had a speech on this question before I even entered the store.
"Hmm...... It was my sister-in-law who gave birth a few days ago, and she was physically incapacitated, so she asked me to buy it for her. I replied with some hesitation.
"Oh, that's right. Is it a boy or a girl?" asked the boss, Yibin, as he handed me the change and milk powder I was looking for.
"It's a woman. "I took the money and the milk powder and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh. Girls. Hearing my answer, the boss fell silent and nodded. "It's a girl, it's a girl, it's a girl, you can save money in the future. The latter sentence of the boss seems to be talking to himself.
Looking at the appearance of the boss, I felt a little weak, and then asked, "Uncle, that ...... Do you know where to buy baby bottles?"
“…… Oh, if you have a bottle, there's it!" The boss was very enthusiastic about my question, and he stood up and pointed to a corner diagonally across the street, "You go to that intersection, and the supermarket around the corner has to buy it." ”
I glanced in the direction my boss pointed out, and when I understood it, I said "Thank you, uncle" and turned to leave. Just as I was about to turn around, I thought of something again and said, "Uncle, if there is a black plastic bag, give me one." ”
"Haha, what's the matter, young man, embarrassed?" the boss jokingly said when he heard my question, and then grabbed a black plastic bag from under the counter and gave it to me with a smile, his slender eyes staring at me tightly, as if he had seen through my thoughts.
At this moment, I felt my face hot, and I was really speechless.
I put the bag of milk powder in a plastic bag, then turned around and walked away.
The moment I turned around, I felt my whole face burn.
Niang Xipi, it's the first time in my life that I'm so flustered...... I want to take off a girl's pants back then, it's still very casual!
Could it be that Lao Tzu's face is getting thinner and thinner, and he is becoming more and more like a little girl?
Rub, I don't want to be so much, I still have to go to the supermarket, buy a bottle first.
With the experience of buying milk powder, I think it will be easier to buy a bottle.
There is a small supermarket around the corner, in fact, I thought I was going to buy milk powder here at the beginning, but then I chose the small shop just now because of the problem of face, but I didn't expect to be able to escape the fate of coming here in the end.
What reassured me a little was that there was only one red-clothed and flower-haired aunt shopping in the supermarket besides the salesperson, and there was no one else.
That's fine, I just want fewer people.
After the timeout, I first left the milk powder on the side of the counter, and then walked directly to the groceries. They usually sell toothpaste, toothbrushes, cups, and other items, but naturally there are also baby bottles.
It seems that my eyesight is not bad, but after a few glances, I can see the bottle in the upper part of the shelf, and the nipple is bulging like a woman's breasts, which is very conspicuous and easy to reverie.
Without much hesitation, I took a bottle with a blue lid on the shelf and went to the counter to pay the bill.
But just as I was about to turn around with the bottle and leave, a middle-aged woman's voice came from behind me.
"Hey, boy, did you get the wrong bottle? ”
I was shocked.
When I turned around, I saw that the aunt who happened to be shopping with me was looking at me with some surprise and a hint of charity.
Damn, why am I so unlucky, this has been bumped into.
At that moment, I felt a little uncomfortable all over my body, and my face was hot as if I had been splashed with boiling water.
But there was really no way to do it, I gritted my teeth, pointed to the bottle in my hand and said to the aunt, "Ah...... Auntie, you are mistaken, I bought it for my neighbor aunt. ”
"Oh. That's right. When I said this, my aunt suddenly realized. "That aunt in your neighborhood gave birth?"
"Hmm. ”
"Hehe, what a blessing. How old is that kid?"
"Uh...... I was born just a few days ago. ”
"Ah, newborn. Hehe, boys and girls?" said the aunt with a curious smile on her face.
"Female ......"
The next conversation is actually 9 points similar to the conversation of the small shop owner I just had. Rub, rub, rub.
Man, it's really a nosy animal!
But fortunately, my aunt didn't continue to pester, and after a few casual perfunctory words, she also went to buy her own things.
Immediately I was ready to pay for the bottle.
But as I walked to the counter, it occurred to me that I should buy diapers for my baby.
Because if the baby girl is incontinent again, I don't have so many underwear and panties to change for her.
Wipe. But then I thought that maybe I would send her to the police station tomorrow to report the crime, and it didn't seem like there was much need to buy diapers.
Should I buy it or not?
Or to put it another way, should I send the baby girl to the police immediately?
Thinking about it made me complicated again.
Damn, what should I do? It's going crazy.
The thought of that baby girl made my head as big as a bucket.
Intellectually, it's almost impossible for me to keep her for the rest of my life, and I'm just a super newcomer who hasn't been a father. Whether or not the baby girl can be fed is a question, and if the baby is killed, then ...... Nothing is empty.
What to do?
After thinking about it, reason and perverted language reached a compromise, and in the end I still planned to keep the baby first, watch it for a few days, and then go to that little alley tomorrow to see if I could find the parents of the baby girl, and if I could find it, then I would discuss it with them in private, at least not to let JC get involved.
Thinking about it this way, I was a little more at ease, and finally planned to buy diapers and go back.
Diapers are very close to the place where I bought sanitary napkins, and as I passed by there, my eyes unconsciously lingered on the boxes of pink bathrooms for a moment, and finally I took down a box of diapers from the items.
I wipe, I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, the price of diapers was actually 98, grass, what a tmd pit daddy.
I felt distressed and touched the hundred-dollar bills in my pocket, and finally gritted my teeth and took it.
The reason is because it says there are 72 diapers, which should be enough for several days.
When I made the payment, I knew a little bit about my brain, and deliberately picked the time to pay with the aunt. Because I was afraid of embarrassment, I was afraid of being teased by the salesperson, and my aunt knew the reason why I did this from the story I made up just now, so she could help me strengthen my courage, but it could take away half of the embarrassment.
However, when I made the payment, the salesman still asked me a few more words, but it was relatively simple, and after asking me about the baby products I bought for the neighbor's aunt, I didn't ask much and looked for money directly.
After walking out of the supermarket, I finally let out a long breath.
Damn, this is finally over. In such a toss, Lao Tzu has to lose his life.
