Chapter Ninety-Four: Fireworks
Father Shen was a little apprehensive, looking at the mother and daughter walking in front of him, and then looked at the emptiness on his wrist.
He Annian felt a little funny standing behind, Shen Qing walked around the mall and came to another gold store, among the decorative items one after another, Shen Qing chose two copper coins and transfer beads, I have to say that the workmanship of this little thing is really accurate.
Father Shen was wearing a red rope on his wrist, looking at this beautiful decorative item, he couldn't help but be amazed and sighed a little, "Should I say it or not, the craftsmanship in this big city is better than ours." ”
Shen Qing sighed a little helplessly when he heard this, to be honest, his father and mother had never bought less gold, but now that they are old and old, they are like children, and they always can't help but want to show off when they see their children giving away.
Mother Shen was a little unhappy when she saw that Father Shen was not as awkward as she was just now, and complained to Shen Qing in a low voice, "Your father is old now, and he starts to dislike clothes, which is not good, that is not good, I used to buy clothes for him, but now I don't let me buy them for him." ”
"As a result, he didn't have a good eye, the quality of the clothes he bought was so bad that there were threads, and he was rustic when he wore them, and I told him a few times later, and he didn't like to listen."
Shen Qing listened to his mother say this, and He Annian couldn't help laughing.
Shen's mother walked around the supermarket on the ground floor of the mall for a long time, and felt that the supermarket in the big city sold everything was complete.
Aunt Zhao can do anything, and even said that she would teach Shen's mother to cook Western food tomorrow, and the old lady was very active in calling Aunt Zhao in the ingredients area to ask what kind of things to buy.
The old man listened beside him, and asked for some professional opinions from time to time, Shen Qing was helpless and funny, and when it came time to check out, they were in front of a foreigner.
Mother Shen looked at the foreigner in front of her and pointed at the person, thinking that she was muttering to Shen Qing in a low voice, "Girl, look, this foreigner is really tall." ”
"I found that not all foreigners are good-looking, I remember that we used to watch the movie together that foreigner was tall and handsome."
The foreigner who was standing in front of him to check out heard the aunt standing behind him say this, and turned around a little unhappily, "Auntie, do you say that there is a possibility that I can actually understand what you are saying." ”
Shen Qing was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said sorry, and He Annian also stood next to him and said sorry.
Mother Shen didn't expect this guy to be able to understand his speech, so he said in his not very authentic English, "Hello." ”
The foreign guy fell silent, Shen Qing felt that it was too funny, Shen's father was sent out to work by the unit when he was young, and he had also seen foreigners.
When they saw foreigners in those days, they thought that they were amazing, and they didn't dare to speak up to each other.
Now that the country is developing better and better, the old man began to play a round with a smile, "Don't mind, young man, my wife and I have been living in a small city and have never seen foreigners." ”
This foreign guy was originally a very talkative person, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm not a foreigner, I'm a mixed-race." ”
Shen's father looked confused, and after they checked out and returned to the car, Shen's mother couldn't help but say, "That young man is a string!" ”
Shen Qing sat in the co-pilot and couldn't hold back his laughter, He Annian had studied abroad and had never heard this kind of remarks, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shen's mother say this at this moment.
A few people were talking, and Shen Qing suddenly said as if he had thought of something, "What are you laughing at, I remember that you told me before that you wanted to find a foreign boyfriend?" ”
Shen Qing felt that what he said was a little strange, and he opened his mouth a little uncertainly, "Mom, when did I say that I was going to find a foreign boyfriend?" ”
He Annian looked at his wife out of the corner of his eye, but he heard Shen's mother patting her leg and saying, "At that time, when you were in junior high school, our family didn't let you watch TV, you always watched it secretly." ”
"At that time, the foreign movie on TV, there was a male lead actor who was tall and handsome, and you later told me, my mother is not so handsome, and I will marry a foreigner when I grow up."
"Didn't you love milk at that time? Then I fooled you, I said that if you want to find a foreign boyfriend, you have to grow tall yourself. ”
"You were very interesting at the time, how can you and I grow tall? I tell you, you have to drink the milk every day, and after you drink the milk you can grow taller. ”
Shen Qing couldn't hold back his laughter, children don't like to drink milk, Shen Qing still remembered that he didn't like to drink milk much when he was a child, at that time he only remembered that his mother fooled him, so he never ran off milk when he was so old.
Even when he was in college, Shen's mother would let Shen Qing buy some milk to drink, for fear that his nutrition would not be able to keep up.
He Annian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this kind of thing when Shen Qing was a child, and after a few people laughed, Shen Qing suddenly opened as if he thought of something, "I also read one when I was young." ”
"It's about the girl's growth and the story that happened in his growth, and I remember that you were very arrogant at the time, and you bought me all the books in that series."
Shen's mother smiled and nodded, "Yes, you didn't like to write essays at that time, and the teacher said that you might find the inspiration for this kind of writing by reading more extracurricular books." ”
"I took you to the bookstore to read those books, and the salesperson recommended several books to you, and at the beginning, you just liked to read the book about girls."
"You were very young at the time, look at the little girl in the house, that is, the child in the illustration is white and good-looking, you went out crazy every day and it was a little dark, you asked me how to become white, I told you to drink more milk, do you remember?"
Shen Qing smiled and shook his head, he only remembered that the book actually had a great impact on him, after so many years, every time he remembered that although he had forgotten the content, but when he first came to his aunt, he was not at a loss like other little girls.
He Annian couldn't hold back his laughter, "It turns out that all the roads you take are your mother's routines." ”
Shen Qingxiao's tears flowed out, "At that time, my mother was afraid that I would be short, I didn't know where I saw it at the time, saying that I could grow taller by drinking milk, and our family has never cut off milk since childhood." ”
Father Shen finished admiring the copper coin on his wrist, so he weakly raised his hand to speak, "This, I still have the right to speak?" ”
"At that time, in order to save money, your mother asked me to go all the way to the wholesale market to buy milk for you."
"Our family lives in the east, the wholesale market is in the west, I ride a motorcycle to buy milk for you every day, at that time our milk consumption is fast, your mother basically a bag a day, sometimes in order to cope with breakfast also give me a bag, I was two boxes and two boxes to buy."
"In order to save so many dollars, I bargained with people every day, and by the way, I bought vegetables for cooking for your mother, because the vegetables and things they sell there are cheap."
"Later, I often went to other people's houses to get milk, buy snacks for you or something, and the bosses on that street all knew me, and after getting acquainted with them back and forth, I often bought people's snacks that were in the expiration date, which were cheap and you loved to eat."
Shen Qing had actually forgotten these things for him, and in his memory, these little things were slowly forgotten just like his growth.
He Annian was a little fascinated when he heard it, he had never experienced this kind of fireworks, and he had never worried about money, and even in his opinion, the problems that could be solved with money were not a problem.
When the two of them returned home in the evening, He Annian put his head on Shen Qing's stomach as usual, and his voice became a little low and gentle, "Actually, I never thought that one day the smell of fireworks would be so close to me." ”
Shen Qing asked a little strangely, "Didn't you not like to drink milk when you were young?" ”
He Annian's eyes seemed to be stuck in a long memory, "When I was young, no one cared what I liked. ”
"At that time, there was nothing else if you didn't drink milk, you had to drink it or not, I still remember when I was abroad and drank milk as water every day."
"At that time, my mother was careless and often forgot to buy water, and sometimes people gave milk, and when I was thirsty or couldn't find water to drink, I would treat milk as water."
"My mom over there made breakfast or something very perfunctory, sandwiches or something, or this kind of fast food, I didn't eat less, the children didn't have any resistance to this kind of fast food, but I ate this kind of fast food for almost a month, and I was nauseous."
"At that time, I began to learn to cook, and my neighbor's aunt is from country F, and their cooking is very delicious and exquisite."
"I went to cook with my neighbor's aunt every day after school, and then I learned how to make steak and something like that, and then I went to work in a Chinese restaurant, in fact, the Chinese food we eat abroad is completely different from the Chinese food we eat in China."
"They just prepare the sauce in advance, and the food is served quickly, and the taste of the food is similar."
"I wanted to eat authentic Chinese food, and there were already videos on the Internet to teach cooking, so I found a cookbook on the Internet, and studied how to cook every day, and then I bought a rice cooker in China, and then started cooking or something."
"After my grandfather left, I was actually in no mood to cook, so I started to eat in the cafeteria, and sometimes I was too busy to forget and didn't eat, and then I went to the hospital because of stomach problems."
Shen Qing couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard He Annian's tragic experience, "You're too miserable!" ”
He Annian put his head on Shen Qing's shoulder, "Actually, I have always felt that I am quite lucky, and I feel that I am a lucky person. ”
"At that time, I also felt that I was dying, and I felt that I couldn't afford to live, and I was busy with sadness or sadness every day, and I never took a good look at the scenery outside the window."
"But I think after I met you, I found that your diet is like that of a child, just like when I first came abroad, I was very happy with hamburgers, coke sandwiches, chicken fries and pasta every day."
Shen Qing remembered that he was on the way to eat chicken steak rice three times a week, and he couldn't help laughing, "I told you every day that I wanted to eat chicken steak rice, I wanted to eat chicken steak rice." ”
He Annian gently stroked the other party's stomach, "Yes! I was very curious about what the so-called chicken steak rice tasted like, and there were people who ate it three days a week. ”
Shen Qing sighed a little helplessly, "I actually love rice since I was a child, but my mother never steamed rice for me. ”
"In fact, northerners like to eat pasta, many times the table is full of noodles, stewed cakes, steamed porridge or something, and my mother was busy at work at that time, so she basically just had to be busy."
"So, when I was young, I ate so much noodles that I didn't want to eat noodles anymore when I went to college, and I ate rice every day, and when I graduated, I started to stop eating rice."
"When I first joined the work, I felt that eating fried chicken was a luxury, and I didn't like to eat noodles and rice every day, so what do you say I can eat, I started to eat fried chicken salad at that time, don't think that I eat unhealthy, it's just nothing I want to eat."
He Annian stroked Shen Qing's stomach with his hand, "Then you are quite well-behaved now, don't eat junk food, eat well." ”
Shen Qing knocked on He Annian's head with some angry hands, "Okay, let's take a shower and go to bed quickly, haven't you read the story tonight?" What if your baby doesn't hear you read stories and doesn't be filial to you when she grows up? ”
