After a while, He Yingqiu and Li Jie walked out of the house together and headed to a nearby store without stopping.
(In 1960, Dairyland Limited, a subsidiary of Dairy Milk International and Lane Crawford, opened a Dairyland supermarket in Central, Hong Kong. This was the first supermarket in Hong Kong.
Soon, Dalilian Supermarket ushered in expansion and opened branches in various districts. Since the 1980s, Dalilian has officially changed its name to 'Wellcome'
Therefore, it is normal for the protagonist to go to the supermarket to buy things, so don’t be surprised)
As soon as the child is born, the mother disappears. The problem of food must be solved first. There is no 'baby granary', so milk powder can only be used to top it up.
In addition, the baby's clothes, diapers, bottles and other daily necessities must also be prepared.
In the late 1970s, Hong Kong's economy had begun to take off. As long as you had money, you could buy everything on the market.
However, He Yingqiu is a little older after all, has poor ability to accept new things, and is not particularly familiar with maternal and infant products.
If Li Jie hadn't been by his side for reference, I'm afraid a lot of things would have been missed.
In front of store shelves.
He Yingqiu glanced at the prices on the shelves and paused.
"Can I ask for this? I don't need to buy these diapers, right? Can't I just use diapers?"
Li Jie smiled, took a few packs of diapers and put them in the shopping cart.
"Brother, washing diapers is too troublesome. This thing is so convenient. Just throw it away after use."
As early as the 1940s, the Swede Boris invented the two-piece diaper, with the outer layer being plastic pants and the inner layer being an absorbent pad made of special toilet paper.
This is diaper version 1.0.
However, due to the material, this kind of diaper is easy to break, and the debris will be stained on the child's buttocks. Anyone who has a baby at home knows how... troublesome this situation will be.
Especially angry children.
Therefore, for a long time, version 1.0 of diapers was not promoted.
It was not until the early 1960s that Procter & Gamble launched the first commercial diapers, a product that was named one of the 100 greatest inventions of the 20th century by Time magazine.
This is version 2.0 of diapers, but in terms of water absorption, there is still a big gap with the diapers used today.
It was not until the 1980s that polymer water-absorbing materials were used in diapers, which greatly improved the water-absorbing performance. At this point, diapers began to enter thousands of households.
He Yingqiu naturally didn't know about these things. He only knew that diapers were very expensive and not cost-effective to use. But for his younger brother, he really didn't have a good solution.
This guy has been very creative since he was a child, and as his skills in drawing talismans improved, he also had a small treasury.
Before entering the store just now, my little brother said that he would pay all the money for buying milk powder and diapers this time, and he would treat them as gifts for the children.
Therefore, He Yingqiu didn't insist too much.
It's not like he's never taken care of a child before. His younger brother was born with poop and pee in his hands. He knows very well what it's like to wash diapers.
"Okay, it's your money anyway, you decide for yourself."
After a while, the two of them walked out of the store each carrying two large bags of stuff. Although they didn't spend their own money, He Yingqiu couldn't help but feel a little sick when he thought of the number he paid for just now.
More than three thousand dollars.
Ordinary wage earners cannot make so much money in two months.
This kid is really a loser!
Why didn't you realize that this kid was so prodigal before?
He Yingqiu made a decision silently in his heart.
no!
Never let this kid take charge of your family's money in the future!
Otherwise, even a huge fortune cannot stop spending like this.
On the way to the hospital, He Yingqiu couldn't help but ask himself.
Is it the wrong time to come to Xiangjiang?
My little brother was very sensible and frugal when he was in the Mainland.
Capitalism really kills people!
As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I have been corrupted by sugar-coated bullets.
From now on, my money for drawing charms will be halved.
I will keep the rest of the money for him. Seeing that my younger brother is getting bigger and bigger, and I am almost fifty, I can only leave the heavy responsibility of continuing the He family to my younger brother.
He Yingqiu glanced at Li Jie in the back seat through the rearview mirror and thought to himself.
'Little brother, big brother is doing this for your own good. '
'Don't blame brother. '
If Li Jie knew the inner workings of the cheap brother, he would most likely laugh it off.
This is a small amount of money, just sprinkle it with water.
You can earn it back by just going on a mission.
What's more, Ma Xiaoling is not an outsider, let her use it, and she won't suffer any loss.
Silent all the way, the two brothers rushed to the hospital and successfully found Ma Danna under the guidance of the nurse.
In the ward, Ma Xiaoling was sleeping soundly. Ma Danna saw the two men holding a large bag of things in their hands and said softly.
"Junior brother, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Senior sister, you are out of town now. We are one family and don't talk to each other." He Yingqiu smiled slightly and said, "By the way, senior sister, if you want to go out in the future, please send your child to my house." Well, it’s definitely no problem to take care of the children if you want.”
Li Jie smiled to himself when he saw this. Brother Cheap's attitude changed too quickly.
Is there still a hint of physical pain?
And without even discussing it, you turned around and sold yourself out?
It’s really ‘valuing sex over younger brother’.
Ma Danna turned her eyes when she heard this, looked at Li Jie who was standing behind her, and nodded imperceptibly.
"Well, that's fine. I want this child to be independent since he was a child. I can rest assured that he will take care of the child."
As she talked, Ma Danna thought again of the 'older child' Ma Dingdang at home.
This girl, the older she gets, the less she has to worry about. She is homeless day by day.
If she was asked to take care of the child, Ma Danna would be a little worried.
The two of them decided on the child's problem in just a few words, and no one asked Li Jie for his advice.
Although Li Jie has rich experience as a nanny and is willing to take care of Ma Xiaoling, it is obviously a bit unethical for the cheap brother to do this.
This is using your own little brother to please your 'loved one'.
It's nothing new that He Yingqiu likes Ma Danna.
However, Ma Ling'er, the ancestor of the Ma family, once set family rules that women in the Ma family were not allowed to get married or shed tears for men. Ma Danna had always followed the Ma family's ancestral precepts.
Precisely because he understood Ma Danna's personality, He Yingqiu never expressed his personal feelings to Ma Danna.
He loves very restrainedly, and he doesn't want to make it difficult for Madonna.
Therefore, Ma Danna didn't know that He Yingqiu liked her, and she only regarded He Yingqiu's concern as help from her senior sister and brother.
"Ask me, I'll ask you to help take care of Xiaoling when senior sister is away from now on."
Li Jie smiled and said: "Senior sister, there is nothing troublesome, and it doesn't take much effort to take care of a child."
Seeing his younger brother's cooperation, He Yingqiu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face.
'Well, I'd better give the money for drawing the talisman to my younger brother. He is so lavish, and raising a child will definitely cost a lot of money. '
