The stores in the town are basically open in the morning, and business is almost always pretty good.
The reason is also very simple, because there is no economic backbone in the town. Almost all young people go out to work to make a living. They only come back in two days throughout the year.
Many of those who arrived home late yesterday naturally took their left-behind children to the streets early in the morning to buy clothes and toys, as a way for parents to make up for their debt to their children.
And those clothing stores and toy stores have also understood the thoughts of young parents, so the prices in these two days are basically not cheap, and there is almost no room for bargaining.
In order to make up for their own shortcomings, these young parents almost always respond to their children's requests. As a result, the businessmen are happy, the children are happy, and they, as parents, are also happy.
Almost everyone in the streets of the town was filled with happy and smiling faces.
Except Ling Guozhong and Ji Lanying.
It's not that they were unhappy, they just felt a little sore.
Because their daughter-in-law is good at everything but a little extravagant.
It’s not like they don’t have any clothes to wear during the New Year. Is this one suitable for them? They’ve only worn it two or three times. What’s the difference between it and the new one?
But the daughter-in-law refused and insisted on buying a brand new set, which made the two elders both happy and distressed.
If that was all, then the two elders would still be able to accept it. After all, they had not added another piece of clothing since Ling Yi became addicted to alcohol and gambling. But the problem is, Qi Shiyun seems to want to buy it again!
The two elders immediately stopped working, said nothing more, turned around and left.
Qi Shiyun hurriedly persuaded her to stop, saying that the clothes were not expensive, much cheaper than those in Jiangzhou.
Xiaoxiao was also trying to persuade her, saying that her grandparents looked good in their clothes.
The shopping guide on the side saw it and hurriedly praised it in dialect: "You two are really lucky to have found such a good daughter-in-law. I looked at other stores where the second elder wants to buy it, but the daughter-in-law won't let me."
When the two elders heard this, their hearts became enlightened.
In villages and towns, is there anything that can make an elderly person's face shine more brightly than a filial son and daughter-in-law?
After the shopping guide made a rainbow fart, although the two elders felt pain, they agreed half-heartedly.
After all, the atmosphere has been set up here. If you don't buy it, wouldn't it mean that your daughter-in-law is as unfilial as other rouge fans?
This has been the case for my whole life, is it possible that I still want to smear my daughter-in-law’s face?
purchase!
Must buy!
So the second old man had two sets of clothes inexplicably on his hands, one was new and the other was an old one taken off from his body.
And when they put on new clothes and walked out of the clothing store, they felt that their waists were straightened up a lot, maybe it was an illusion.
Even when meeting fellow villagers, the second elder's voice was a little extra loud.
Ling Yi and Qi Shiyun knew that they were full of confidence and pride.
"Old Ling, it's okay. I'm full of energy. It's different now that my son is back. Look at how frustrated you were in the past two years. Everyone thought you were sick."
An old friend passed by and greeted Ling Guozhong.
When Ling Yi heard this, he felt guilty again.
Ling Guozhong seemed to see that Ling Yi was blaming himself, so after saying goodbye to his old friend, he took the initiative to change the subject and asked Ling Yi: "Call your sister, it's almost noon, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"..." Ling Yi was a little embarrassed. He didn't have his sister's phone number or WeChat. Although his mother had already pushed Ling Xi’s WeChat account to him a few days ago, the other party never agreed after adding it.
"I'll fight." Ji Lanying took the initiative to help Ling Yi out of the siege.
After the call was dialed, Ling Xi's voice came quickly: "Mom, I'm almost in town. Do you have anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back to you from town. Dad doesn't like spicy food the most. Do you want some rice tofu? I’ll bring him a bowl?”
"No, no, Shiyun insists on buying clothes for your dad and me. We are in town now." Ji Lanying hurriedly replied.
Ling Xi: "Where are you exactly? I'll get off the car and look for you."
"We are now a little above Pacific Apparel. If you get off the car and walk down, you can see us." Ji Lanying couldn't hide the look of anticipation and excitement on her face.
There is only one main street in Longzhai Town, where the bus station is located is 'Shangfang', and where the stores are located is 'Below'.
"Okay, I understand. I have already arrived at Lijiazhai. I should be there in two or three minutes." Ling Xi was also very excited at this time, so she asked again: "Is Ling Yi here?"
"Come, come, everyone is here." After Ji Lanying finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, so she whispered again: "Your brother has changed now. Remember to save him some face in front of his wife and children." .”
"Got it!" Ling Xi said with squinted eyes, an extremely sharp look in her eyes.
Xu Jing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been listening attentively and observing Ling Xi through the rearview mirror, so when he saw Ling Xi's look, his heart suddenly trembled: "It's over, Master Ling is going to be in trouble!" '
'This matter is too big for a little shrimp like me to know about. I have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible! '
After Xu Jing made up his mind, just after the car turned a corner and officially entered the main street of the town, before waiting for the bus station, Xu Jing softly shouted: "Pull over."
The driver didn't dare to make a mistake and hurriedly pulled over.
"Mr. Ling, two brothers, I can only send you here. I have to go back to continue delivering supplies." Xu Jing said with a smile on his face, full of embarrassment.
When the three people saw this, they waved their hands and said that they were the ones who were embarrassed.
After taking away the luggage, the three of them thanked Xu Jing again, and then watched Xu Jing turn around and leave.
"Girl, since your family has come to pick you up, your brother Zhang will leave first. After the New Year, come to Baiyan Village to find me when you are free, and I will take you to hunt game."
After Brother Zhang finished speaking, he followed the fellow villager and walked towards the bus station - they wanted to go back to Baiyan Village and had to change trains - the regular shuttle bus was gone, and they I have already called and asked a private car in the village to pick me up.
They originally planned to send Ling Xi home. After all, how could she, a woman, look at two such big boxes? But when she learned that her family was coming, she gave up the idea.
Ling Xi looked at the two big boxes, then glanced at the familiar street. After calming down a little, she pushed the suitcases down with one hand in each hand.
She hadn't gone very far when she saw a group of people approaching not far away, four adults and one child, talking and laughing.
Even from a distance, she could recognize them at a glance. They were her parents, her brother, her brother-in-law, and that cute and invincible Xiaoxiao.
So she quickened her pace and ran forward quickly.
The people on the opposite side obviously noticed Ling Xi at this time, and couldn't help but speed up their pace to meet him.
Soon, the two parties met at the door of the bus station.
Ling Xi was wearing a down jacket that was not too brand-new, but extremely clean and tidy. Her long hair was scattered behind her head, and her facial features were exquisite, especially her calm eyes, which told everyone all the time that she was a very sensible person. woman.
Wearing a white woolen hat on her head, she looked extremely intellectual and mature.
"Xiaoxiao, this is aunt, she..."
Ling Yi was introducing Ling Xi to Xiao Xiao in Qi Shiyun's arms, but before he finished speaking, a danger warning came from between his eyebrows.
He was about to turn his head when he saw the intellectual and rational woman lift her leg and kick him accurately in the stomach, causing him to fall backwards with his feet in the air.
"You bastard, you actually have the nerve to come back! Why don't you die outside?"
After Ling Xi kicked Ling Yi over, she cursed loudly and had no intention of letting Ling Yi go. Instead, she quickly followed up, raised her long, straight and round legs, and kicked Ling Yi in the face. On the butt, kicking and scolding:
"Do you know how your parents have survived these past few years? The villagers rolled their eyes, Peng Aiping pointed, everyone was waiting to see their parents' jokes, but in the end you opened their eyes.
Your parents provided for you to go to college, for you to see the world, for you to get married and have children. Is this how you repay them? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? "
Ling Xi said so much, but never mentioned how hard she had been in the past few years.
Seeing this, Qi Shiyun wanted to go up and pull her, but she saw Ling Xi turn around and said angrily: "Brothers and sisters, don't worry about this. He is ineffective and it is our Ling family's responsibility. We, the Ling family, have to take care of it. It is us." The Ling family is sorry for you."
After saying that, she turned around and kicked Ling Yi on the butt again: "Your mother just called me quietly and asked me to save some face for you. For all the things you have done over the years that are worse than a beast, how can you ask me to do it?" Are you saving face? I dare to save it for you, but do you, Ling Yi, dare to accept it?"
Ling Yi lay down on the ground on purpose, otherwise a hundred Ling Xi would not be able to bring Ling Yi down.
And the reason why Ling Yi did this was to make Ling Xi angry.
I saw Ling Yi being beaten, but still looking at Ling Xi with a smile, grinning in reply to her shouting: "I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it!"
Seeing Ling Yi's playful smile, without any sign of anger or unwillingness, Ling Xi couldn't help but think to herself: 'It seems that he has really changed his gender, and he didn't even get angry after beating him like this. '
Thinking of this, looking at Ling Yi's pretended grin, he couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, then stretched out his hand to pull Ling Yi up from the ground.
She looked at her dusty brother in front of her, smiled, raised her hand and patted him gently, but as she patted him, she couldn't hold back, she hugged Ling Yi and cried loudly:
"Woooooo... don't scare us anymore. My parents are old and can't stand being scared anymore. We don't ask you to be rich, as long as you and your family of three can live a peaceful life..."
Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in Qi Shiyun's arms, had long been frightened by the scene in front of her. She hugged her mother tightly and cried, "Dad is lying, this aunt is so cruel!"
