Chapter 55: Shopping
In modern times, the flavor of the New Year is not so strong.
More people will choose to travel for the New Year or go to a restaurant for Chinese New Year's Eve.
After graduating from university, Chonghua left home and only went home once a year on New Year's Day. While eating the restaurant's New Year's feast, she listened to her family nagging about when she would get married.
The streets were bustling, and there was a lot of shouting.
Covered by hats and curtains, Chonghua was not very able to see the scene outside.
But the breath of the New Year cannot be ignored. For a moment, an indescribable expectation came to mind.
The Chinese New Year is still a few days away. Luo Chen and Lai Xiaochun need to go down the mountain to buy New Year's goods. This year, because there is one more woman in Chonghua, I will bring one more person to the procurement work.
Although Chonghua is very scruples about being plotted, Mu Lao means that these two people can still protect her. Children can't always be bored at home, and it's okay to go down the hill for a walk.
What's more, wearing a hat veil, you can't see your face clearly, so you don't need to worry.
Luo Chen's face was not very good at this time. Obviously, he and Xiaochun were able to buy New Year's goods and return to the mountain quickly. I still have to carry such a drag oil bottle as Chonghua.
Because there are female dependents, horseback riding is not suitable. Lai Koharu properly prepared a carriage. The three men drove down the mountain in a carriage.
"What needs to be bought, first of all, pork. Master said it was better to buy a whole pig. Lai Koharu looked at the purchase list.
Chonghua was confused for a moment, there are obviously pigs in the backyard, why do you still need to buy them?
"Aren't there pigs at home?" Mu Lao specially instructed that he should not mention the mountain and his name outside, only at home.
Luo Chen's brows furrowed: "Tsk, it's not that the old man said that you can't kill casually." ”
Old man, is the name of Mu Lao. Although Chonghua didn't quite understand why they had to call their teachers old men to the outside world, this way of calling them was quite kind.
You can't kill...... So are those pigs going to be raised until the end of their lives? Chonghua's eyes drifted away to the hustle and bustle outside the car window.
"Brother, green vegetables are also to be bought. Let's go to the vegetable market first. It takes more time to pick up the clothes material, so go later. Lai Xiaochun, who was sitting next to Luo Chen, discussed it with him.
Luo Chen glanced at Chonghua and nodded.
Chonghua looked at the street market outside and had a feeling of trance. So far, I have not had any sense of reality in this form of my own way of being.
Rebirth, crossing, and re-blooming don't think it is. It's just that in dreams, there is always a day when you wake up. Until then, a qiē was a dream.
"Rock sugar gourd, what a sweet rock sugar gourd." The uncle's rough crying is extremely penetrating.
Chonghua's eyes lit up, there are also rock sugar gourds here?
I can't remember the last time I ate a rock sugar gourd. At that time, food contamination was not so strict. At that time, the rock sugar gourd was sweet and sour. Stay in the corner of memory, unforgettable.
Looking at the uncle who walked over carrying the rock sugar gourd, Chonghua smiled faintly. How old are people who still want to have a snack.
It was a surprise to be able to go down the hill to go shopping today.
From living as Miss Ling Er to the present, Chonghua has really never walked around the street with such confidence. Sent from one mansion to another. It's like a bird in a gold-wire cage. The cage is in someone else's hands, so she can only be obedient.
It is not the first time that Luo Chen and Lai Xiaochun have gone down the mountain, and they buy things neatly. The bargaining work was thrown to Lai Xiaochun, who could speak well, and Luo Chen just stood aside with a cold face to play a sufficient deterrent role.
After a while, the car was full of things.
"Don't forget to buy rice paper, the old man said that there is not much stock at home." Chonghua really couldn't call the old man, so he changed his name to the old man.
Lai Xiaochun got into the carriage and said with a smile: "The rice paper at home is not bought on the street, just go to the store to get it when it is not enough." ”
Chonghua nodded. Suddenly, a string of crystal clear red rock sugar gourds was handed to her.
"Naw. Here you go. Luo Chen turned his face away a little uncomfortably, and handed the rock sugar gourd to Chonghua.
Chonghua's eyes widened in surprise. She really didn't say she wanted to eat, and she didn't look like she wanted to eat in particular, she just glanced at the uncle. How so?
Come to Xiaochun and smile: "Eat, eat, eat." It's the first time for my brother to buy a sugar gourd. ”
Luo Chen saw Chonghua's mouth open in a daze, and with a frown, he directly stuffed the sugar gourd into Chonghua's hand. Turned around and said it was okay to go.
Chonghua blinked, looking at the red string in his hand.
In fact, Luo Chen is a person...... Not bad indeed. It's just a little tsundere, and there are no special shortcomings.
People bought it, and they accepted it. Chonghua smiled lightly and thanked him, and ate it with a click.
The sugar gourd of this era is sweet and sour, and the sugar is boiled just right. Sweet but not greasy.
Lai Xiaochun looked at the rare smile on Chonghua's face, and winked at Luo Chen with a smile. Luo Chen turned his face away and ignored him.
When the carriage arrived at the ready-to-wear shop and stopped, Chonghua thought that he didn't need to get off, so he didn't get off. Who knew that Lai, Xiaochun and Luo Chen were standing at the door and looking at her.
"Get out of the car. Shall we carry you? Luo Chen glanced at her coldly.
Chonghua was stunned: "I want to go down too?" ”
Lai Xiaochun smiled and stretched out his hand to Chonghua: "Yes, to buy you clothes, of course you have to choose your own." ”
Chonghua hurriedly waved his hand: "How good is this." ”
Those who eat and live in other people's homes are already considered lucky. And no one betrayed her (Dongfang Xu's one can't be said clearly), and it is extremely rare to live in peace and stability. I even had to buy her new clothes. A man must be content.
Lai Xiaochun smiled and stretched out his hand, but saw Chonghua's face darkened. I wondered if there was a sentence that I didn't say right and poked at the sore spot in Chonghua's heart. Just as he was trying to persuade him, he saw Luo Chen get into the car and pull Chonghua down directly.
"It's getting dark, and I'm still in a hurry."
Chonghua was torn off the car by him without paying attention, but fortunately the hat was brought early in the morning, otherwise his face would have been exposed.
Lai Xiaochun shook his head helplessly, the elder brother is really unmatched.
Chonghua tidied up the curtain, lowered his head and followed them into the shop.
The best clothes are lined up, and the shopkeeper is a simple fat man. When he saw someone enter the door, he greeted him with a smile.
There were several other girls in the shop who were picking up the ingredients, and unlike Chonghua, they didn't wear hats, but only a veil.
"This lady, the ingredients in this store are the best in Beijing, you can choose whatever you want." The shopkeeper over there talked to Luo Chen to Xiaochun, so he came over to recommend the material to Chonghua.
Chonghua nodded, pointed to a azure satin, and before he could speak, he heard a beautiful female voice next to him shouting: "That's what my sister took a fancy to first." ”
Chonghua's fingers shrunk, don't mess with it, don't mess with it!
