After Ripple took Dabao back to the mall, he bought a bunch of things, all of which were New Year's goods, and the New Year in this era had to start preparing at least three months in advance, after all, the materials were not abundant, and in addition to buying things, money was also needed, and the bills issued by the state had not completely withdrawn from the historical stage.

Ripple also brought money with her before, but the ticket was not enough, so she only bought some candy, and now she sold her own embroidery work, to be precise, the embroidery work at the bottom of the original press box.

Before the original body was timid, coupled with the surrounding environment, so she did not dare to expose even if she had skills, especially when her husband died unexpectedly, she was alone with four children, in order to keep a low profile, she only took some work to help people weave clothes, and she never touched embroidery again, so she was afraid of being reported.

However, as a tasker, Ripple knows the general direction of this world, and also knows that in the near future, her craftsmanship will become an intangible cultural heritage and will have a high value in the future, so she found such a day and took her work to throw stones and ask for directions.

Obviously, the result was much better than she expected, and after the deal with that John was completed, the foreign-related shop also reached a verbal agreement with Ripple, and her embroidery shop would accept it, and gave a good price according to the size and difficulty of the embroidery.

Lu Anli watched his grandfather and grandson enter the mall empty-handed, and then came out with a large bag, he suddenly felt that the price he opened this time was too low, but in line with the principle of pulling a repeat customer, he still greeted him, helped put the things away, and then asked with a smile:

"Eldest sister, you've made a lot of money."

"But no, your fare is so expensive, and it's not easy to come here, so I bought more, just take a car back, the eldest sister won't treat you badly, I'll invite you for lunch, go to the state-run hotel!"

Ripple said with a smile.

"Hey! It's still the eldest sister Changliang, I have made up your friend. ”

Lu Anli immediately grinned, stepped on the accelerator, and opened to the state-run restaurant in the city.

After the three of them entered the restaurant, they found that there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and it happened to be a meal, and Ripple said directly to Lu Anli:

"Xiao Lu, you go and occupy three seats first, and I'll go get something to eat."

"Okay!"

There was a free lunch to eat, and Lu Anli went to find a vacant seat after he happily got off.

Ripple went directly over and ordered a dish of shredded pork noodles, a plate of braised pork, a plate of fried shredded pork in the snow, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and asked for four taels of rice, paid for the money and tickets, and went to find Lu An.

"Eldest sister, this way!"

Lu Anli ordered the meal after watching the ripples, and immediately beckoned.

The two adults and one had a hearty lunch, and left the hotel with a full burp, and Dabao still said unsatisfied:

"Milk, that shredded meat noodle is delicious!"

"Dabao likes it, and the milk will make it, and when you want to eat it one day, the milk will make it for you."

"Thank you, Grandma!"

"I think the braised pork is fragrant, the sugary, soft and glutinous taste and melt-in-your-mouth taste, I can't wait to swallow my tongue."

Lu An returned to taste.

"There's nothing that doesn't smell good."

Ripple joked with a smile.

"Sister, are you going somewhere? Or go straight back to Qingshan Town? ”

Lu Anli took the initiative to ask.

"When I went to the bookstore, I promised to buy a small talk book for my eldest grandson."

Ripple immediately said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go now."

Ripple took Dabao to buy several sets of comic books, including comic books that talk about idioms, and picture books that talk about common sense of life, all of which Dabao can learn at this age.

After a day of shopping, the grandparents and grandchildren were sent home by Lu Anli, but fortunately, it was not enough to get off work and school, so no one in the alley noticed that the grandparents and grandchildren were moving home with large bags and small bags.

When Qinghai and Qingmei came back from school, Ripple had already sorted out everything, and only some food and sweets and pastries were left outside, but it was not abrupt, and she didn't plan to tell her about selling embroidery.

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, Qingchuan took Li Juan to discuss with Ripples, wanting to give the child a hundred days.

"Mom, Juanzi and I have made it a while, I want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to invite relatives and friends, so that everyone can meet Beibei, and we have moved to a new house, so it's time to invite uncles to sit down."

Song Qingchuan said.

Ripple thought for a moment and said:

"If you want to do it, I don't object, but I suggest it be simpler, after all, you just have a child and bought a house, it stands to reason that now should be the time when money is tight, if you do it in a big way, it will inevitably attract people with pink eye.

In addition, your eldest brother has been gone for less than half a year, although there is a compensation foundation, but it can't stop some people from trying to make up their minds.

So my suggestion is that you invite your most connected colleagues and friends, plus your three uncles, and that's pretty much it. ”

Ripple is just afraid of trouble, but this is the first social activity after the little couple is independent, and she still supports it.

Song Qingchuan looked at Li Juan, and Li Juan also nodded in agreement with her mother-in-law's suggestion:

"Mom is right, just ask relatives and colleagues and friends who have a good relationship, this is the first time we have done things independently, and we need my mother to give you some advice."

"Okay, I'll give you ideas, some dishes can be prepared in advance, I'll help you invite, cook, you make a menu, meat, vegetables, eggs must be prepared in advance, tables, chairs and benches must be borrowed in advance"

Ripples roughly talked about the things that needed to be prepared in the early stage, and said it for half an hour.

"That's all I can think of, you go back and take a look at it again, see if you miss anything, it's best to list it, check off one item when you're ready, good memory is better than bad pen."

"Mom's reminder is right, so that Juanzi and I can also estimate the approximate cost, and we can start preparing now."

Song Qingchuan said after rubbing his hands.

Ripple took out a box from his kang cabinet, took out ten pieces of ten-yuan money, and handed it to his son.

"This is my intention to be a grandmother, you plan to use it yourself, and save the rest for Beibei to use in school in the future."

"Mom, no need! Juanzi and I have it in our hands. ”

Qingchuan immediately waved his hand and said, now it is equivalent to opening a household, how can I be embarrassed to deduct money from my mother's hand again.

"If you give it to you, you will take it, this is what I gave Beibei, you have no right to refuse, and I don't want to worry about it, you can have your own snacks, and if you don't understand, come and ask me."

Ripple focuses on saving money and trouble, so naturally they are not allowed to shirk.

When the husband and wife saw that their mother (mother-in-law) was ready to be the shopkeeper, but they also supported them financially, and the two were actually happy in their hearts, proving that the mother (mother-in-law) trusted them.

The two took the money and happily went to prepare their daughter's 100-day banquet, in fact, strictly speaking, Beibei has been more than four months, and saying that 100 days is just a reason.

The husband and wife began to prepare for their daughter's 100-day banquet, but Song Qinghai mysteriously came to Ripple to tell the informant.

"Mom, I saw my sister walking with a male classmate after school."

"How many times have you seen it?"

Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I've seen it three times, and I don't know what I haven't seen."

"Are you sure it's the same male classmate?"
