Chapter 37 The old county town
After lunch and after more than half an hour of rest, Grandpa Xie asked him to go out for a walk. Grandma Xie had already told him to buy some clothes for Xie Zhao after he came to the county. Her granddaughter was sensible and obedient, and never asked what adults wanted. Even if she bought them, she would refuse. She just said that she could wear clothes and never care whether it looked good. But looking at Xie Jiao and Xie Xuan's clothes, Grandma Xie naturally understood that Xie Zhao just didn't want them to spend money.
This time, Grandma Xie, who came to the county, specifically told Grandpa Xie, and gave him some more money. It wasn't that she wanted to buy such good clothes for Xie Zhao, at least she couldn't make her classmates laugh at them. In fact, Xie Zhao really didn't care about these things. After all, every time Wang Lan bought Xie Xuan, she would buy one more set for Xie Zhao, and Grandma Xie would give Wang Lan the money for buying clothes. In this way, Xie Zhao had never worn patched clothes, and Xie Xinghua secretly bought some for Xie Zhao from time to time. Xie Zhao's clothes were really quite small.
In the 1990s, in this small and not remote county town, there was really no sign of later. The Xie Zhao family was located at the junction of the north and south. There were many mountains and forests here, but because it was on a major transportation road, the economy was still prosperous. However, it was not as good as the urban appearance that had rapidly developed and flourished after it was later. Grandpa Xie and Xie Jin wanted to go straight to the department store, while Xie Zhao and Li Jia wanted to stroll on the street. Although it was the most prosperous road in the center of the county, there were many storefronts on both sides of the road.
Li Jia thought for a while and said, "Xie Jin, you know what to buy. Why don't you and grandpa go buy it first? Zhaozhao and I will take a walk on the street at home?"
Xie Jin looked at his wife speechlessly, then looked at Xie Zhao, who was expecting, and his lips twitched and said to Grandpa Xie: "Grandpa, let Xiaojia lead Zhao Zhao here. Let us go to the department store to check it out. After they finished shopping, they came to the department store to find us."
Looking at Xie Zhao's expectant gaze, Grandpa Xie smiled and nodded, took out twenty yuan to Xie Zhao, and said softly: "Then Zhao Zhao and your sister-in-law go shopping and buy whatever you want."
"Okay." Xie Zhao looked at his grandfather's smile, paused and took the money and responded softly. Xie Zhao knew how much love his grandparents loved him for so many years, but because she loved her so much, she didn't want her grandparents to work so hard. But after taking a look at her body, she was only in her teenage body, and she felt annoyed. When would she make money and not let her grandparents work so hard? But in the end she still didn't want her grandparents to take over the money handed over by her grandparents.
Holding Xie Zhao's hand, Li Jia walked slowly and said softly: "Zhaozhao, this street is the most prosperous street in the county, and there are all kinds of things to sell. Does Zhaozhao have anything to buy?"
"Sister-in-law, I have nothing to buy." Xie Zhao shook his head gently. There was really nothing to buy. His grandmother prepared clothes, shoes, daily necessities and school supplies. She followed her out and saw it just to see what she could do, earn some money, and not let her grandparents work too hard. But even if she lived a lifetime longer than others, she was just an ordinary person, and she was still a child who was only a teenager who didn't even want to work!
Looking at the stores on both sides of the road, as Li Jia said, there were all kinds of things, and there were all food, clothing and daily necessities. There were a lot of people coming in and out. He shook his head secretly. Xie Zhao thought helplessly. She had no capital, no time, and three, and she was too young. It was not realistic to do some small business. She couldn't leave school school homework. She was a little worried when she thought about it. Now in the early 1990s, she didn't know much about the county town at this time. At this time in her previous life, she had just dropped out of school and learned farming at home!
What can she do now, a teenage girl? Xie Zhao was worried secretly but didn't want Li Jia to notice anything. Fortunately, Xie Zhao was used to being taciturn. Li Jia did not see Xie Zhao's abnormality. He accompanied Li Jia in one shop at a time. Xie Zhao had no idea what he wanted now. He just wanted to wait for the evening to carefully recall the things she could make in her previous life. Of course, she was not greedy, just thinking about earning some money to support herself and grandparents.
Perhaps Xie Zhao is really the most ordinary person. After a afternoon of shopping, Xie Zhao didn't find anything she could do to make some money. She could only follow Li Jia with some pleasure, and finally returned to school with Grandpa Xie and Xie Jin. After dinner, everyone was a little tired, so they washed up a little, thinking of getting some breakfast, but Xie Zhao refused the bedroom that Xie Jin gave up.
Let my grandfather sleep in the study, my elder brother and sister-in-law sleep in the bedroom, and I took out a small quilt from my luggage and put it on the sofa, saying undeniable: "Brother, don't persuade me. Let's not talk about whether it's appropriate for me to sleep with my new house and new bed in your newly married house. My habits are not good. I am not used to sleeping with others."
"Okay, listen to Zhao Zhao. I've been tired all day long, go to bed early." Grandpa Xie looked at Xie Zhao's firm attitude and couldn't help but sigh and said, "He still doesn't know what kind of character his granddaughter is, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble for others! Besides, the eldest grandson and his grandson wife just got married after all, and this county's building is indeed the first time they live in after marriage, especially the wedding bed, which is really not suitable for Xie Zhao, his sister-in-law to go to bed.
He looked at his grandfather, then looked at Xie Zhao's knees and sitting on the sofa tilted his head to look at him. Xie Jin shook his head helplessly, but he understood what his grandfather and sister thought, so he had to say softly: "Okay, grandpa, go back to the house to sleep, Zhao Zhao's head should also go to bed early." As he said that, he reached out and rubbed Xie Zhao's head gently, and then prepared to pull Li Jia back to the house. If he continues to be polite, he dares to say that Xie Zhao will not come if he doesn't come to his house in the future. It's better to follow her temperament!
Seeing her elder brother turn off the lights and the moonlight shining through the window, Xie Zhao opened his eyes and thought about the past deep in his memory. She didn't want to think too much about anything else, nor did she want to recall it anymore. She just thought about carefully thinking about whether there was a way to make money for her. In her previous life, Xie Zhao had no education, so she could only do some physical work that did not require education or technology, such as female workers in factories, waiters in hotels, and salesmen in shopping malls.
