Chapter 51: Scarf

A few days before returning home, Chen's mother took a few days off to accompany her two children in major shopping malls, with the purpose of buying gifts for the elderly, adding clothes to the children, etc.

The harvest of the past few days was to give two old men two sets of thermal underwear, one of them customized a down jacket that covered their butts, two pairs of thermal shoes, Grandma Chen had two more woolen hats, Grandpa Chen had a few rolls of cigarettes and a bag of tea. Needless to say, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, schoolbags, books, Xiaoxi had two larger skirts, so that they could continue wearing it next year, Chen Yubin had shorts, down jackets, thermal underwear, etc., and various snacks.

The final result was that the day before leaving, the three mother and son were exhausted and lying at home, not wanting to move anymore, so they lay at home for a day. In the evening, when Dad Chen came back, the four of them went out for a big meal.

The next day, Xiaoxi took out a piece of jade pendant with a storage space of 50 square meters and handed it to Chen's mother for blood to recognize her. She moved baskets of fruits and vegetables out of the space and handed it to Chen's mother, and asked her to put it in the storage space. Then she put two baskets of fish, including grass carp, crucian carp, and carp. They were all fat and strong. They also asked her mother to put it in the storage space for them to eat in the future. These plastic baskets were bought by Xiaoxi a few days ago by her father.

Xiaoxi thought that the fruits and vegetables in these three storage spaces would be enough for them to support for a long time. Selling fruits is not to make them rich, but to allow them to save a small amount of money and no longer have the hard work.

Xiaoxi remembers that Chen's mother in her previous life told herself that before the cleaning work of this bus station, she had worked on the railway. She cherished the water bottles abandoned by passengers and saved them for money every day. At that time, she had to pick up all the instant noodles and paper buckets thrown away. Everything was for the elderly and children at home.

After lunch, Chen's mother took her two children to the supermarket to buy some food, such as instant noodles, eight-treasure porridge, etc. When she came back, she packed her luggage and put the food in Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin's schoolbags, and there was also a large bag containing several fluffy down jackets. This was for the style. Otherwise, if you don't have anything in your hand, where did the gifts you bought for your family come from? Like other heavy things, Xiaoxi and the others put them in their own space.

"Xiaoxi, Binbin, now... keep it." Mom Chen gave two hundred yuan alone. Because she earned some money these days, she gave a little more. "I know you won't spend money randomly. I give these to you to make your teeth-beating sacrifices to satisfy your cravings."

I paid another thousand to Xiaoxi, "Xi, if you go back, I will give this to your grandfather. This is your tuition fee. Tell your grandfather that I will ask them to buy some food and drink for themselves. This time I will not send them money, and I will also go to the credit union to collect it. I will trouble you."

Seeing that he had packed up, he picked up his bag, locked the doors and windows, hired a tricycle, and took the two children to Xijia Station. He found a fellow villager and repeatedly asked him to take the two children back safely. When they entered the station, Chen's mother dragged back with reluctance.

"Grandpa, mother-in-law, we are back." From a distance, I saw my grandparents standing on the edge of the yard. The two siblings left their second aunt behind and ran home quickly.

Because the fellow villager just sent Xiaoxi and two to the county town, the second aunt went to pick them up. Looking at the four people hugging each other and returning to the house, the second aunt followed her helplessly and slowly moved back with a big bag.

For a moment, only the chattering sounds were heard. The two children excitedly described their life for more than a month, but they skipped the story of their parents setting up stalls at night, and the three adults sat aside and listened carefully.

After talking for a while, I was very tired, so the two of them changed their shoes and sat for a while, while Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen went to prepare supper.

Seeing that it was about to cook dinner, Chen Cui said she was going back. Grandpa Chen looked at her and said angrily to her: "Go back and call the two kids up. Have dinner here tonight. Which one said? You have to go back to cook."

Chen Cui didn't feel embarrassed, so she responded clearly and went home to call the child. Seeing that her second daughter was going home to call her grandson, Grandpa Chen quickly went upstairs to get a piece of meat and soak it in water.

When Xiaoxi saw the second aunt leaving, she picked up the big bag beside her and pulled Grandpa Chen to the bedroom, and asked Chen Yubin to pull Grandma Chen.

When they arrived at the bedroom, the two of them sat on the bed and began to distribute gifts, raising them out of the bag one by one.

"Hey, this down jacket is from grandpa, this one is from mother-in-law." "This is thermal underwear, two sets for one person." "This is a hat for mother-in-law." "This is..." "This is..."

After a while, the two old men finished sending the gifts. They looked at their beds covered with things, and knew that their son and daughter-in-law had them in their hearts. They were always thinking about them. They were very happy. They wanted to touch those things repeatedly with their hands.

"Ahem... Okay, hurry up and pack up. The two women and the others will come up later. It's time to cook." Grandpa Chen reluctantly locked the tobacco and tea leaves in his hand into the drawer, urging Grandma Chen beside him to put away the things. He turned around happily and went out to cook the pot.

After hearing what his wife said, Grandma Chen reacted and quickly put the items back into the bag one by one. She held the bag with one hand and stuffed it in with the other, "Hmm? What's going on? Why can't I hold it anymore? Didn't it just take it out of it?"

When Xiaoxi saw that there were indeed two sets of thermal underwear on the bed that had not been stuffed in, but the big bag was almost burst. He quickly took the bag from his mother-in-law, took out the shoes, and then stuffed the clothes in, so that Chen Yubin and herself could pull the zipper up. Xiaoxi picked up the shoes and handed them to her mother-in-law, and said, "Maybe it's not easy to put them back after taking them out. When I was in Beijing, my mother and father pressed them for a long time before stuffing them in. Mother-in-law, you can find a bag to pack these pairs of shoes."

"Oh." Grandma Chen took the shoes, found a clean bag, carefully wrapped the shoes, and then locked them into her wooden box with the bag of clothes.

"Let's go, I'm going to cook." Turning around, Grandma Chen called the two siblings to the kitchen.

"Wait for a while, mother-in-law, you go there first." Xiaoxi pulled Chen Yubin and said to Grandma Chen.

"Oh... Then you guys come here later." Thinking that it might be that the two children were tired and wanted to rest for a while, they didn't think much about it and left the door after saying that.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had gone far away, Xiaoxi said to Chen Yubin: "Binbin, should we give me some gifts to the second aunt and the others? You see, she went to pick us up today."

Chen Yubin nodded, "It's true, but what are we giving?"

This, Xiaoxi was also stumped. "By the way, we bought a lot of nuts, we can give some, and we also have a small snack." Second aunt is as delicious as herself, and she should like this. "Ah... Also, we bought a lot of square scarves last time, and this one can also be given one." Well, just give one square scarves. I will definitely give one to my elder and third aunts, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable.

This scarf was something they happened to see when they were shopping in the mall. Xiaoxi and Chen’s mother thought it looked good, and they could keep warm in winter, so they bought several.

The family had a lively dinner at night. When Chen Cui left, Xiaoxi gave her the things. She was very surprised, but she didn't expect that her niece brought her a gift.

In the evening, the two siblings went to the old yard to find Zhao Juan and her sister. Unfortunately, they were told by their younger uncle that they had gone to visit relatives and had not come back yet.

After packing up the kitchen, a few people went back to the bedroom after washing. Sitting on the bed and watching TV for a while, Xiaoxi took out a piece of woven jade pendant and a bracelet, "Grandpa, mother-in-law, this is what we bought for you when we were shopping with our mothers. Now, this jade pendant is yours, and this bracelet is yours."

The two old men took the things and didn't believe in their eyes. They had never seen such a good thing in their lives. They really bought it for themselves. Grandma Chen repeatedly rubbed the bracelet, which showed her love. It was the first time she had received such a valuable gift when she grew up. It showed that her daughter-in-law was filial to her. What Xiaoxi didn't know was that a word of rude reduced a lot of trouble for her mother in the future.

Swallowed, "Cough... Grandpa, there is another thing, this jade pendant, it is not a simple jade pendant, this bracelet, it is not a simple bracelet, this is..."

"What? You say it again?" Grandpa Chen said in disbelief.

It feels much more comfortable to say it, "Grandpa, it's really what you think."

Ah, I even accepted that Xiaoxi had a space, and there was nothing I could not accept. It was just a storage jade pendant. It was no big deal, but this was given to me. In the past, I knew that my granddaughter had a space, but it was not my own, so I didn’t feel it. But this storage jade pendant belonged to me, and I was very excited!

"Old man, what does it mean?" Grandma Chen was still a little confused now, and Grandpa Chen explained it word by word.

Half an hour later, a sharp sound filled with surprise was heard, "Really?"

Chen Yubin, who was so scared that he was sleeping in a daze, was shocked and woke up.

"It's true, and mother-in-law." Xiaoxi scared her mother-in-law because she was not a strict person, "There is only this bracelet. If you tell me it out and you're snatched away by someone else, you'll be gone. This good thing is something everyone wants."

Grandma Chen waved her hand without caring about her heart, "Okay, I understand."

Xiaoxi said worriedly: "Mother-in-law, this thing is very important. No one can say it, including my aunt. If someone knows that this bracelet can hold something, it will definitely be robbed. You only have this one, and if you lose it, it will be gone. Also, you can't use this bracelet in front of outsiders."

Grandma Chen nodded solemnly and promised that she would not reveal the secret of the bracelet. Xiaoxi let go and helped them recognize their masters.

After being taught to use it, Grandma Chen got up and took out the new clothes he had just received today, found out her own clothes, and happily put them in the bracelet. Grandma Chen saw that his things were thrown aside casually, so he had to put them in the jade perch helplessly. Then, he saw Grandma Chen put them in and out, and had a lot of fun.
