Chapter 303: Charity Sale
The morning sun was warm and comfortable, and Sangzhi wanted to get bed very much, but thinking that it was not in his own house, but at the door's house, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly got up.
After freshening up, when I came to the first floor, Wu's mother had already prepared breakfast.
Seeing that Lin Yaran was the only one eating breakfast, Sang Zhi stepped forward to say hello and couldn't help asking, "Aren't Grandpa and Dad up yet?" ”
This is obviously a redundant question, Sang Zhi knows very well in his heart, the old man has always gotten up early, every day is just dawn to get up for morning exercises, and the door is not a person who likes to sleep lazy, although the work and rest are not very regular, but the time to get up has always been very early.
When she said this, she was just looking for a topic to talk to Lin Yaran.
Lin Yaran smiled and asked her to sit down, "Grandpa went out early in the morning, and your father made an appointment with a friend and went out." ”
While eating breakfast, Sang Zhi suddenly remembered that the old man had said that he would retire this year, and asked curiously, "Is grandpa going to retire this year?" When will I get back? ”
Lin Yaran sighed and said, "Yes, it's almost there, but there are only three or four more months, and when it comes to the old man's birthday, it will be time for him to retire." ”
Lin Yaran was already full, took a sip of juice, and said: "Grandpa probably thinks that he is about to retire, so he has been running very hard in the army recently, don't look at what he says, he should be reluctant to leave the army in his heart." ”
Sang Zhi also sighed in his heart, thinking that the old man had been in the army all his life, and he had to adapt to it for a while if he retired so coldly.
"Mom, you said that grandpa retired on his birthday, so how old is grandpa's birthday?"
Sang Zhi only remembered at this time that in fact, her understanding of the family was still superficial, like the old man, she didn't know anything about her in-laws' birthdays and ages.
And in the past half a year, I haven't seen anyone in my family celebrate their birthdays, only the time when Men Shaoting was still picked up by Ye Chenze's buddies.
Lin Yaran said casually while drinking the juice: "It's almost here, there are still more than two months." Grandpa never had a birthday, and if he hadn't retired this year, I would hardly remember his birthday. ”
Sang Zhi nodded, didn't speak, and ate breakfast silently, but he was thinking about what kind of gift to give his grandfather, even if it wasn't his birthday, he liked to receive blessings and gifts!
During the day, Sang Zhi accompanied Lin Yaran out for a long time on the street, and when they were tired of shopping, the two found a Western restaurant in the mall, ordered some food, chatted and rested.
Sang Zhi remembered that Men Yuewei had been away from home for a long time, and she had been trying to call her but had not been able to contact her, I don't know if Men Yuewei had taken the initiative to contact her family.
So he asked, "Mom, has Xiaowei contacted the family since she went out?" ”
Lin Yaran smiled and shook her head, "No, but don't worry about her, she'll be fine." Besides, isn't Lei Ming already chasing after her, it's okay. ”
Hearing Lin Yaran say this, Sang Zhi couldn't help but admire the family in his heart.
Everyone, including Lin Yaran, was very calm about Men Yuewei's running away from home, as if this kind of thing happened to Men Yuewei as if it was commonplace, and there was no worry on their faces.
Could it be that because Men Yuewei has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a body of kung fu on her body, they are relieved of her?
Sang Zhi thought about this matter for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but looking at Lin Yaran's indifferent expression, he was relieved.
When I returned home in the afternoon, Wu's mother had already boiled the decoction according to Sang Zhi's instructions.
Since she made up her mind to take good care of her body and became pregnant again, Sang Zhi had to drink the decoction made from various Chinese medicines prepared by her father every day.
For her, who has always hated bitter tastes, drinking decoction is definitely a torment.
After drinking it a few times, she couldn't help but vomit it out again, and she couldn't help but vomit it again, so she couldn't see that Men Shaoting was distressed, so she directly snatched the soup bowl in her hand and told her that she wouldn't drink it in the future, and the child's affairs would go naturally.
Sang Zhi didn't do it, and begged Men Shaoting to let him return the medicine to him, "Husband, believe me, I can do it." ”
Men Shaoting felt distressed or something, and only hated that he couldn't drink this medicine for her.
Mother Wu came over to her with a bowl full of decoction, and Lin Yaran smelled an indescribable bitterness from a distance, and she couldn't help but churn uncomfortably in her stomach just by smelling it.
Seeing Sang Zhi take the decoction with an indifferent face, and drank it in one gulp without frowning, Lin Yaran couldn't say what it was like in her heart.
Quickly peeled a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth, took Sang Zhi's hand and sighed, "It's really hard for you, this medicine must be hard to drink, right?" ”
Sang Zhi smiled and shook his head, "Once you get used to it, you won't feel that it is too bad to drink." Mom, I'm fine, don't feel sorry for me, I'm sorry for the family first, no matter what this time, I want to try to get pregnant again, let grandpa hold his great-grandson, I don't want to disappoint grandpa. ”
Lin Yaran patted the back of Sang Zhi's hand distressedly, "Actually, Mom knows that you young people now have a very indifferent view of whether you want to have children, and many of them don't even want to have children, and they like to be dink." It's just our family...... Hey, that's hard for you. ”
Strictly speaking, Lin Yaran can be regarded as an intellectual woman, and she doesn't agree very much with what she says about what women must do to inherit the family of men.
From her point of view, if her son and Sang Zhi are happy, even if she doesn't have children, she actually doesn't care in her heart.
But her identity does not allow her to say that, and now seeing Sang Zhi drinking Chinese medicine soup so tormented, although she feels uncomfortable and distressed, she can only express it verbally.
Sang Zhi knew what her mother-in-law meant, and she was very moved, and comforted her with a smile, "Mom, I'm really fine, don't worry." ”
In the evening, Sang Zhi wore the evening dress given by Lin Yaran and appeared at the charity bazaar with Lin Yaran.
This is the first time that Sang Zhi has participated in this kind of activity of the so-called ladies and ladies of high society, she has no valuable jewelry to take out for charity, watching her mother-in-law take out two pieces of jewelry that look very good, she subconsciously touched the "Yue Xin" on her neck.
"Yuexin" is priceless, but she is reluctant and can't take it out for charity sale, if she really donates this necklace, Men Shaoting is estimated to be so angry that she will break her neck!
Thinking like this, Sang Zhi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his body involuntarily shook twice.
Lin Yaran noticed Sang Zhi's discomfort and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
"No, it's okay, it's just that I don't have any valuable jewelry to take out for charity sale, so I'm embarrassed to be so empty-handed."
Sang Zhi smiled to hide his embarrassment.
Lin Yaran smiled, didn't speak, and pulled her straight to the registration office of the bazaar.
"Mrs. Xu, this is the jewelry that my daughter-in-law and I want to sell for charity, please help register it."
The woman who was busy directing the registration and valuation of the charity sale at the registration office raised her head and smiled happily when she saw Lin Yaran.
"I'm still not here today, I didn't expect not only to come, but also to bring one, okay, Sister Xu, thank you here."
As he spoke, he took two pieces and packed them up, and instructed his subordinates to go through the registration matters.
pulled Lin Yaran to sit down in the rest place on the side, looked at the mulberry branch beside her, and asked, "This is Shaoting's daughter-in-law?" ”
Lin Yaran nodded and said to the mulberry branch behind him: "Zhizhi, I came to see Mrs. Xu." ”
Sang Zhi smiled and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xu, "Hello Mrs. Xu." ”
Mrs. Xu looked her up and down and nodded, "It's not bad, it looks quite dignified and generous, and it's worthy of your family's Shaoting." ”
Sang Zhi listened to Mrs. Xu and his mother-in-law's chat, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that the ladies of the upper class were all pretentious when they talked together, listening to the tone and wording of Mrs. Xu's words, it was really retro style!
Slandering, Lin Yaran had already pulled her to say goodbye to Mrs. Xu, "Mrs. Xu is busy, I'll take my daughter-in-law to sit in the venue." ”
Coming out of the registration office, Lin Yaran introduced to Sang Zhi that this Mrs. Xu is a celebrity among the celebrities in the capital, and her status is very high, and she can be regarded as a figure who can call the wind and rain in the upper class.
"Today's charity sale is hosted by her, otherwise my mother would not have come to join in the fun. It's just that she came forward to invite, and my mother couldn't shirk it, so she had to come. ”
Lin Yaran said as she returned to the venue with mulberry branches.
"Mom, how embarrassing am you for writing your jewelry on my name and selling it in my name."
Sang Zhi didn't expect that her mother-in-law would register a pair of jewelry for charity sale in her own name for herself, which made her feel a little unhappy.
Lin Yaran smiled and patted her shoulder, "Silly child, what's this, it's all jewelry that my mother doesn't usually wear, and I put it away, if I can really sell it for some money and give a love to those who need it, my mother is also happy, besides, if anyone likes to buy it, it's better than what my mother has always put in the box." It's going to be sold anyway, so what does it matter in whose name! ”
Although Lin Yaran said this, Sang Zhi still felt unhappy in her heart, and followed Lin Yaran to meet some noble daughters, which was also her first appearance outside as the daughter-in-law of the family.
Sang Zhi was not very accustomed to the way these so-called ladies and ladies talked, and when he saw Lin Yaran chatting happily with a few ladies, he walked to the corner alone and sat quietly, watching these people in front of him come and go.
I looked at the time on my phone, and there was still some time before the charity sale started.
Mulberry was a little bored, drinking juice while holding his mobile phone and browsing the website.
She sat in a dimly lit corner that was less noticeable, but she always felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at her from time to time.
Sang Zhi raised his head several times to look around for those eyes, but found nothing.
In the end, I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh at myself, thinking too much, in this kind of place, except for my mother-in-law, no one knows me at all, and I don't look very outstanding and eye-catching, how can anyone secretly look at myself!
Just thinking wildly, suddenly a few lights fell on the stage with a high protrusion in the front room, illuminating the stage brightly and dazzlingly.
Under the guidance of the beam, Mrs. Xu walked onto the stage.
With a round of warm applause after Mrs. Xu's opening remarks, the charity sale officially began.
Sang Zhi's mobile phone rang, and it was Lin Yaran calling.
The venue was too big and there were too many people, and Lin Yaran was worried about not being able to find mulberry branches at this time.
This is the first time she has brought Sang Zhi out, and she is also afraid that Sang Zhi will have some accidents, and she will not be happy.
Sang Zhi answered the phone, followed Lin Yaran's guidance, sat next to Lin Yaran, and whispered: "Mom, I'm sorry, I just saw you chatting happily with a few friends, and I went to sit and wait for you without saying hello to you." ”
