Chapter 438 Going to Scout the Location
Without the burden of transportation, everyone can really shop to their heart's content.
Shopping is a woman's nature, no doubt. No matter how frugal or rational a woman is, she can't possibly go shopping empty-handed.
Even if Grandma Yao goes out without planning to buy anything, she will still come back with a bunch of fresh scallions in her hand!
After Yao Shula entered the mall with her cousins and sisters-in-law, she immediately unleashed that primal instinct as well.
"This is pure wool, it's so comfortable to wear next to the skin, unlike those chunky knit sweaters that feel heavy, and it's warm too."
"Yes, yes, my dad has one too. My brother bought it for him. He treasures it so much that he even bought special detergent for washing wool sweaters!"
This wool sweater is nice, but you have to be careful when washing it, otherwise it will shrink easily.
"Well, just be careful when washing them. It's cold in Yun County in winter, so wool sweaters are the most suitable. I'll buy two, no, four, one for each person in my family, so that winter will be easier."
"I want three pieces too, I want five pieces! No, it should be eight pieces."
My family consists of three people: my parents each have two pieces, and my child's grandparents and my grandmother each have one.
"Oh right, I'll buy two for my parents, and three more for my brother's kids."
Take one of each color!
"I want five too. I'll buy them first and then divide them up when I get home!"
Miao Yamin and her friends bought a lot of wool sweaters alone.
Then came other clothes, food, and some small items. Miao Yamin and Zhong Xiaochun even bought men's razors and such.
Yao Shula also bought a lot of things for Lei Jingwu. Although it is very likely that Lei Jingwu will not use them often, the point of buying things is the process of buying them. Who says that you will definitely use something after you buy it?
Yao Shula still has a bunch of things she bought but never used!
When they returned after shopping, Yao Shula's original courtyard was already piled full of things.
When Zhou Ping'an returned, his eyes twitched as he looked at the things in the courtyard.
Fortunately, he didn't have to go with them, otherwise... he would have ended up carrying all of these things, since he was the only man among those going back!
We can't exactly ask the old lady or Miao Yamin to move it!
"Did Third Sister-in-law really buy a color TV?" Zhou Ping'an was a little surprised after seeing the well-packaged color TV in the living room on the first floor.
"Yeah, it's hard to buy things in the provincial capital! It's easy to buy things here, so I bought some. It wasn't expensive, only 6,200 yuan."
I also bought a matching video recorder! It only cost 2,400 yuan. The two big items together cost only 8,600 yuan, which is 300 yuan cheaper than in Jinling.
"I feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't buy it!" Zhong Xiaochun quickly said.
Zhou Ping'an was also a little envious of the color TV and VCR.
“We’ll buy it next year. We’ve almost spent all the money we saved for the house we just built last year. Let’s save up for another year,” Zhou Ping’an immediately assured Miao Yamin.
Miao Yamin smiled and nodded.
Okay, I'll buy it next year...
"Let's get a new refrigerator next year! Our current one is a bit too small. We'll get a bigger one so we can still watch TV!" Miao Yamin said with a smile.
"Yes, let me know when you buy a refrigerator, I'll buy one too. The refrigerator we have at home seems a bit too small."
"Now that we've separated, I want to replace the refrigerator and TV with new ones," Zhong Xiaochun quickly added.
“Yes, call me. My TV is still working. Qiangqiang loves watching TV, and I don’t want to get him a bigger TV. Let’s get a bigger refrigerator instead!” Yao Chunian chimed in.
Everyone immediately nodded in agreement. Yes, replacing the refrigerator is a serious matter.
Yao Shula smiled along with everyone else.
She also bought a lot of things, some for her grandmother, some for her aunt's family, some for Grandma Zhou next door, and some for Uncle Shu's family who had gone back earlier.
In short, we must thank Zhou Pingan for arranging the car.
...
"Grandma and the others are planning to go back the day after tomorrow. The car that Zhou Pingan arranged will come tomorrow night to pick up all the goods."
"Oh, Zhou Pingan said he'd go with that car. There's a lot of stuff on it, so he'd feel more at ease going with it. Also, he said he'd treat the people on the way to a meal and buy them some cigarettes or something." Yao Shula told Lei Jingwu about the arrangements after she finished washing up.
Lei Jingwu listened while massaging Yao Shula's shoulders.
"Of course, in my opinion, you bought a little too little. It's rare to have a car to deliver it back, why not buy more!"
"Grandma and the others rarely come to visit, and you don't even take her out for a proper shopping trip." Lei Jingwu also felt that Yao Shula hadn't bought enough.
"Grandma has her own things to do! I want to take her with me, but she doesn't want to. She even said that she can't perform well if I'm around."
Oh, by the way, I heard from my cousin Yamin that Zhou Pingan got a promotion, and she even thanked me! Yao Shula turned her head and glanced at Lei Jingwu.
Lei Jingwu applied some force, and Yao Shulas let out a shout.
"Zhou Ping'an is quick-witted and knows how to handle things. All he lacks is an opportunity. Don't worry, Zhou Ping'an will have many more opportunities to rise in the future!"
Oh, Shura, you should talk to your cousin and tell Zhou Pingan to read more books in his spare time and maybe enroll in a correspondence course. Anyway, get a diploma.
"Otherwise, it would be such a pity if you missed the opportunity in the future because of your diploma!" Lei Jingwu whispered to Yao Shula.
Yao Shula nodded, indicating that she would talk to Miao Yamin about it tomorrow.
After Lei Jingwu finished speaking, his hands started to wander...
Yao Shula slapped Lei Jingwu's hand.
"Press properly, don't try to cut corners!"
Lei Jingwu... well, they're starting to feel more and more like an old married couple.
However, Yao Shula and I have known each other for so many years that it wouldn't be wrong to call us an old married couple.
Lei Jingwu had no choice but to continue massaging Yao Shula's shoulders.
However, after pressing the button for a while, Lei Jingwu thought of something.
"Shura, when I picked you up from there today, I think Grandma said she went to the hospital again, right? What's she doing at the hospital alone?"
“Oh, Grandma said she went out to scout locations today!” Yao Shula said.
Lei Jingwu...
"Grandma went to scout out the location? What's she going to do?"
"We're going to give Director Du a banner! Grandma said she'll go scout out the location today, and then deliver the banner tomorrow."
"What? You have a problem with that?" Yao Shula asked back.
Lei Jingwu quickly shook his head.
"No, I wouldn't dare! Grandma must have her reasons for doing this!"
Yao Shula hummed in agreement and continued to enjoy Lei Jingwu's massage.
"My grandma is a prime example of someone who's wise and shrewd with age! She must have her reasons for doing this!"
