Chapter 172
172. Buy New Year’s goods
"Congratulations!" When he heard that it was a triplet, Mrs. Hong was happy and worried. The triplets sounded nice, but the bitter one was pregnant woman, and the pain one was pregnant woman.
"Thank you, Sister Hong, please help me weigh the five kilograms of wool thread." Lin Qingxi looked up and saw a big red wool thread on the cabinet, which looked very good, so she decided to buy it and she could buy it back and knit a sweater for Xie Lu.
"Okay," Sister Hong immediately turned around, took down the red wool thread on the top of the cabinet, weighed two pounds for Lin Qingxi, and put them back.
"Sister-in-law Hong, give it, this is money and tickets," Lin Qingxi saw that Sister-in-law Hong packed up what she wanted, took out the money and tickets to settle the bill, and went to the counters next to see what else to buy.
"Grandmad, mom, here are snacks and pastries. See if you want to eat anything, we can buy some back." It's not that Zhou Dajiang and the others looked at it, Lin Qingxi was also watching it herself. She has become a little greedy recently.
"Auntie, I want to buy this red bean cake and wick cake. I asked that aunt, this red bean cake is not very sweet, great-grandfather and great-grandma would like to eat it. I will eat this wick cake myself," Xiang Yijing pulled Xie Lu and walked back, stood beside Lin Qingxi and whispered.
"Girl, then I want this Shaqima," Xie Lu said immediately. She is familiar with Lin Qingxi now and has the courage to express her wishes to Lin Qingxi, and she is much happier.
"Okay, you guys go and tell your aunt yourself, I'll pay you later," Lin Qingxi responded with a smile. This was the first time Xie Lu asked for something from her. She couldn't suppress the enthusiasm of the children.
I bought all the pastries I asked for, but I didn’t buy a lot of them. Then I bought two soft, delicious pastries that were moderately sweet and suitable for the elderly. Lin Qingxi bought six packs of big white rabbit milk candy and four kilograms of fruit candy, and also bought brown sugar, white sugar, rock candy and two kilograms of fruit candy.
Fortunately, Xie Lu and Xiang Yijing each carried a small basket. Although it was not very beautiful, it was very practical. So, the things that had already paid were placed in the basket of two people. It didn't have to carry them in the hands of Zhou's mother and the others, which saved a lot of trouble.
"Mom, see what else should I buy? Should I buy some cloth and cotton to make thick clothes for my grandparents and grandparents of the Sun family?" Zhou Dajiang and his wife came to live at home for a few days. Lin Qingxi had a good relationship with them. Although the Sun family's grandparents had little contact, they were also a reasonable old man, so Lin Qingxi didn't mind paying some money to win a favor in front of Zhou's mother.
"This... isn't this too troublesome? It costs a lot of money?" Although Zhou's mother was moved, she was very dissatisfied. How could she let her daughter-in-law pay for her when she bought something for her parents? This is not a small amount of money.
"It's okay. My grandparents did it last year, but I won't do it this year. I'll leave it to my grandparents and grandparents to work together with thick clothes, and then buy some wool and knit a sweater for them each! Anyway, I'm just responsible for paying for it, and you have to do it yourself when you buy it. I can't help," Lin Qingxi said while accidentally patting her big belly.
"You ghost elves, okay, let's do it ourselves," Zhou's mother couldn't help but smile. The daughter-in-law is really great. She doesn't think about everything, but knows how to think about her mother's family. How can she not have any thoughts in her heart?
After doing my mother's work, Zhou Dajiang and Grandma Zhou's ideas were no longer important. Lin Qingxi asked everyone to continue shopping here, so she took her mother to turn around and went to the cabinet where Sister Hong was in to buy cloth and wool.
Back to Sister Hong's side, Lin Qingxi bought a gray flawless cloth coarse cloth, and thirty feet of dark blue flawless cloth coarse cloth and twenty kilograms of black wool thread. She used Zhou Guizhi's credit limit to buy the flawed cloth. Anyway, it would be useless if she didn't need it. It was because Sister Hong and she were acquaintances, so she would do it for her like this.
Moreover, using Zhou Guizhi's credit limit, there were many less cloth tickets. Lin Qingxi just didn't have enough cloth tickets, so she was even happier. After carrying the purchased cloth and wool to meet Zhou Dajiang and the others, Zhou's mother looked at the stuff in their baskets and had the idea of going back. Without a man, it was really inconvenient for them to have a few female relatives and the elderly.
Lin Qingxi went to say hello to Zhou Guizhi and planned to come here to buy cigarettes and alcohol in the afternoon, so she took Zhou's mother and the others to walk back to the Lin family courtyard. Before she could reach the courtyard, Lin Qingxi and others smelled the familiar aroma of the food.
Walking through the alley, almost every household's chimney was working, and lunch was preparing. As soon as Lin Qingxi and the others entered the house, they saw Zhou's father and Zhou Mingmin walking back and forth in the living room and kitchen, holding a bowl of vegetables in their hands.
"Dad, the child's father, girl Xi, you are back, go wash your hands and have dinner," Seeing Lin Qingxi and his group back, Zhou's father immediately smiled.
"Dad, you and my sister are so fast. You will have food when you come back," Lin Qingxi couldn't help but sigh. When she was shopping, she didn't feel that she had just come out of the supply and marketing cooperative and found that time flew so fast.
Lin Qingxi and his friends had just washed their hands, and the five Zhou Minghui brothers came back to have dinner. Zhou Mingyi also came over to have a free meal because Zhang Man and his son were not at home.
"The five brothers Minghui are back, sit down and have a meal! The food will be cold later," Zhou's father hurriedly greeted.
Zhou Minghui and the other five were not polite, so they sat down and picked up the dishes and started eating. Zhou Mingmin had prepared their portions, so they didn't need to go to the kitchen to add a dish or something.
After lunch, Zhou Mingmin and Zhou's mother went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. The others sat down and chatted, learned about each other's recent situation and the situation at home, and then it was time for Zhou Minghui's five brothers to go to work.
After saying goodbye to each other, Zhou Minghui and the other five went to work, Lin Qingxi and his group also left the courtyard, and everyone took a ox cart to the supply and marketing cooperative where Zhou Guizhi was.
"Dad, you're waiting for us outside. I'll buy some cigarettes and alcohol to come and go home." After the ox cart was stable, Lin Qingxi was helped off the ox cart by Zhou's mother, told Zhou's father, and then took Zhou's mother to the supply and marketing cooperative.
As for Zhou Dajiang and his wife and children, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning and didn’t want to go there anymore because it was really meaningless.
Lin Qingxi moved quickly. She and Zhou's mother went directly to find Zhou Guizhi, and bought tobacco and alcohol with money and tickets. They bought swimming cigarettes and Daqianmen, as well as Mudan and Hongtashan each. They bought Moutai and Wuliangye, and bought ten bottles of each type.
It’s not that Lin Qingxi wants to buy so much, but whether it’s New Year’s gifts or others come to their homes to pay New Year’s greetings, tobacco and wine are essential, so they buy a pound of green tea.
After buying good things, Lin Qingxi saw the brothers Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong coming in. They first said hello to Zhou Guizhi and called people, then picked up the things on the counter and walked outside.
