After picking up the clothes and looking at the big and small bags in his hands, Cheng Xiang felt that he had bought enough and could go home.
Zhou Tianlei glanced at her neck and said, "Go buy a necklace."
"Isn't it necessary?" Cheng Xiang doesn't have the habit of wearing jewelry, and he has to worry about losing it. He always feels that those things are troublesome and in the way.
Zhou Tianlei thought of the red dress she just wore, even though her swan-like slender neck was very beautiful.
But it’s a bit too spacey, and it would be more beautiful with a necklace.
Besides, if you want to get married, you have to buy some jewelry for your partner.
"It's necessary." Zhou Tianlei couldn't help but pulled her towards the gold jewelry area.
The current price of gold is 80 yuan per gram, which is nearly five times higher than the gold price of 3,410 grams in later generations.
But if we take offline wages as a reference, 80 yuan is equivalent to two months’ wages of an ordinary worker.
Cheng Xiang looked at the dazzling array of jewelry and couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Zhou Tianlei to choose, but Zhou Tianlei chose thick and big gold chains.
"He is really a nouveau riche." Cheng Xiang thought to himself. He didn't have the face of a nouveau riche, but he still had the heart of a nouveau riche.
"With such a heavy chain, my neck would break." Cheng Xiang looked at the thick chain in his hand and complained with a pout.
Zhou Tianlei looked at her slender neck and couldn't help but laugh.
Finally, Cheng Xiang chose a thin chain with a four-leaf clover pendant, put it around his neck and asked Zhou Tianlei, "Does it look good?"
Although Zhou Tianlei thought it was too small, he was satisfied with his partner, so he nodded and said, "It looks good."
Just when the salesperson was about to issue the ticket, Zhou Tianlei suddenly asked to wait a moment.
He wanted to say to Cheng: "Think about it, your friend helped connect this client. You can choose a gift for her as a thank you gift."
Originally, Cheng Xiang wanted to treat Qin Yutong to a meal to express his gratitude after everything was done, although their relationship did not require such false gifts.
But she didn't expect Zhou Tianlei to think so carefully.
"But giving jewelry is too expensive," Cheng Xiang thought, frowning.
Zhou Tianlei looked around the counter, asked the salesperson to take out a diamond-encrusted magnolia brooch, handed it to Cheng and wanted to say: "How about this?"
The silver-white magnolia flowers are elegant and unique, and the pearls are full and round. They don't look too precious, but they are also unique.
Cheng Xiang nodded and said: "This is good." The nouveau riche have good taste.
After packing the jewelry, the two of them went shopping and bought a schoolbag for each of the two little boys. It is the most popular military green backpack at the moment.
No matter what Cheng wanted to buy, Zhou Tianlei followed silently behind him, occasionally giving advice, but the most common thing he said was: "It looks good."
"purchase"
"Bill, please"
Zhou Tianlei carried large and small bags in one hand and held Cheng Xiang in the other, catching the last bus home.
There were many people on the bus, and when they got on, there were no seats left.
Cheng Xiang stood next to a seat, and a group of people came up from behind. Everyone was so crowded that they complained: "Watch your feet."
"Stop squeezing, the children are crying because of the squeezing."
There were quarrels and curses in the car.
Zhou Tianlei stretched out his arms to support the two seats, trapping Cheng Xiang inside.
No matter how crowded it was outside, Cheng wanted to be safe and sound in the small world circled for her by Zhou Tianlei's broad chest and strong arms.
Everyone on the road swayed and swayed with the bumps and bumps of the car, but Zhou Tianlei remained in the same posture without swaying at all.
There were several girls next to him who complained constantly because they were squeezed, and Chong Cheng wanted to cast an envious look.
After getting off the car, they walked all the way home from the village entrance.
On the path between the fields, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women were walking together, carrying large and small bags, talking and laughing. It was very beautiful.
Some women working in the fields also cast envious glances.
"Women in the city are really prodigal." An old lady said with disdain.
"That's right, do you think any daughter-in-law in the village runs to the city every day?"
"You still buy big and small bags every time. How much money do you have for her to make?"
........
I don’t know who said, “Who made Zhou Tianlei rich?”
He stopped talking immediately.
Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knew that Zhou Tianlei was rich, but they didn't expect that he would love his wife so much and be so generous to her.
The young man thought that if he had been willing to marry him, he would have been able to live a rich life now.
The elder thought to himself that it was better to marry off his daughter, and now he can take advantage of it.
As for whether he can do it or not, it doesn't matter if he has money, doesn't it matter?
As she approached the door of her house, she saw Qing'er running from a distance, followed by Zhou Tianxing, who kept calling her to be careful.
Qing'er stretched out her arms and threw herself into Cheng Xiang's arms. She hadn't seen her aunt all afternoon, but she missed her terribly.
Zhou Tianxing said nothing, took the things from his brother's hand, and walked back silently.
When Zhou Tianlei left to serve in the army at the age of 18, his younger brother was only 2 years old. When he came back, his younger brother was already nine years old.
During the four years at home, he had almost no time to care about his younger brother.
But in his brother's heart, he is relied upon and a hero.
Over the years, he has been taking on the responsibility of a brother-in-law, helping him take care of the children.
Never complained about anything? He never had to worry about it.
Recently, I noticed that he seemed to have grown taller, and his young body looked stronger.
I realized that this child was too thin before.
Suddenly feeling a little guilty, Zhou Tianlei stepped forward, put his arm on Zhou Tianxing's shoulder and patted him.
Zhou Tianxing looked at his brother beside him and smiled as innocently as a child should.
The family happily shared the results of today's shopping in the living room.
Zhou Yang carried his new schoolbag and walked around with dignity.
"Many people in school have this schoolbag, and now I have one too." Zhou Yang's little face turned red with excitement.
My brother-in-law has always said that stepmothers are not good people, but since this stepmother came, they have had good food, good clothes, new schoolbags, and taught Qing'er how to play the piano. He thinks this stepmother is very good.
In fact, he hasn't called mom for a long time.
In fact, she felt that her stepmother was the mother he expected.
Zhou Yang was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Cheng Xiang ask: "Children, what should we eat tonight?"
"Mom, I want to eat braised pork." Zhou Yang blurted out, and he was stunned and his face turned red.
Suddenly the whole living room became quiet.
Zhou Tianxing looked at this useless nephew with disgust.
A very complicated expression appeared on Zhou Tianlei's indifferent face. There was surprise in the indifference, excitement in the surprise, and one sentence in the excitement: "Well done, brat."
When Qing'er heard her brother calling her mom, she clapped her hands and shouted to Cheng Xiang: "Mom, mom, mom, I also eat braised pork."
When Cheng Xiang heard this cry, he felt like there was a sinking feeling in his heart. He was excited and wanted to cry. Why?
She remembered that before reading, Gibran once said that the sweetest word that human lips can utter is mother, and the most beautiful call is mother.
At this moment, she suddenly understood this sentence, "Mom" is such a sweet title.
