Chapter 93: The Brilliant Fireworks Haven't Been Seen Before(1/2)
Chapter 93 The bright fireworks have never been seen, but the neighing of the leads is already ahead
Seeing that the festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival has become more and more intense, the mother and daughter who chose not to talk about Hang Luo had to prepare some gifts and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to visit them.
"Get dressed quickly and go out. Don't wear the ones you wear to work or anything like that. Find something suitable to wear and go see your grandparents in two days."
He Yanqing sent An Ji a WeChat message in advance, agreeing to go out to the supermarket to buy some milk, moon cakes and other things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that An Ji was pulled to change clothes as soon as he walked in.
"It's not cold yet, don't wear too much, or you'll make yourself sick." As soon as An Ji was pushed into the house to look for clothes, the mother's mother kept telling her, "If you have time, put those clothes on."
Clean it up properly."
Even though He Yanqing was talking endlessly, An Ji was stunned and didn't even listen to it. It wasn't because he was a daughter, but looking at the clothes wrapped in dust bags in the closet, An Ji felt like he was in another world.
Even people who have been together every day will not take long if they want to withdraw from each other's lives.
Maybe when you look up at old things, you will be reminded of everything deep in your memory, but if you spend the whole time doing other things, it won't take long to develop new 'habits'.
He randomly picked two pieces of clothes and came out. He Yanqing's urging came from the door again. An Ji closed the closet door expressionlessly. He was stunned for a long time, until the clothes he picked up fell from his hands to the ground, and then he bent down.
He went and responded: "Take them, they are all useful in the closet. I will tidy them up when I have time."
"When do you have time?" Looking at the clothes in his daughter's arms, which were piled up in a mess, He Yanqing felt that he might be forced to develop obsessive-compulsive disorder, "You say no every day?
Time, if you don’t clean up the cabinet yourself, others will help you clean it up, and you won’t be allowed to throw away this thing or that thing.”
"I'm facing you at home. You don't usually wear it. Is it just for space?"
He Yanqing obviously had something to say, but the pile of clothes that An Ji was holding was not willing to listen to it first, and fell to the ground hurriedly, which only made the former more helpless and angry, and finally endured it.
"It's dirty even after it fell on the floor. How old are you? Why don't you know how to take care of yourself?"
"In the future, when your father and I are old, who will help you?"
"I..." An Ji wanted to explain, but suddenly remembered the secret his father An Jianing said two days ago. He opened his mouth, but chose not to say anything, "Oh."
It was rare to see An Ji not arguing with him. He Yanqing felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and regardless of what An Ji responded, "You, ah... quickly sit on the sofa, get dressed and go out."
He Yanqing wanted to go to the supermarket because he could shop online. An Ji had no choice but to follow him obediently, so he had to put on his clothes in a hurry and go out with his mother who had been standing at the door waiting impatiently.
"Mom, you can buy everything online now. Don't you usually do a lot of online shopping?" Just a few steps out of the house, An Ji already didn't want to leave. He went to the fruit shop, supermarket, and vegetable market, and made sure to make friends on WeChat when he came back.
Number one in step count...my legs are already starting to get sore just thinking about it.
When An Ji was young, he also longed to go to the supermarket with his mother to buy some snacks that he rarely eats. Needless to say, he knew how happy he was.
But time can change many things. When online shopping was not so developed, my mother would make time every week to buy things for my grandparents.
Later, as online shopping developed, my mother also used online shopping to buy things to deliver to my grandparents. In addition, she was busy and did not go to school locally. As a result, the number of days to visit her grandparents became less and less.
"Is buying fruit online better than picking it myself?" His mother He Yanqing's response brought An Ji back to reality from his thoughts, "Put on your shoes quickly, there will be more shemales later."
As He Yanqing urged his daughter to go out quickly, he continued to talk without stopping: "I don't have to pick all the fruits at home to be delicious. Think about that time I finally got sick and rested for two days."
"You and your dad volunteered to buy me food, but what happened?"
"The oranges are not ripe, the pears are rotten, and the apples are expensive to buy... You are such adults, it's not like I haven't taught you two, you can't learn!"
After he finished speaking, An Ji put on his shoes, and He Yanqing left the house and stopped talking.
It wasn't until the two were walking on the road that the latter picked up the phone and called Grandpa An Ji: "What? There are too many fruits at home?"
"Ah, you haven't finished the last time you bought it online?" He Yanqing basically bought one for himself and sent one to his parents. If his father-in-law and mother-in-law hadn't left early, He Yanqing's order would definitely have changed.
Into 'triplicate'...
"That won't work. I took An Jianing and my daughter to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he still didn't agree if I didn't bring anything with me."
Needless to say, An Ji also knew that it must be the rejection from his grandparents. It was the same when he was a child. The family conditions were not very good. His father and mother always missed each other's family, and the latter also missed his own.
Children, from time to time, have to add some money to let their parents buy something they like.
"Okay, okay, okay, don't buy it, don't buy it."
"Hey, Dad, don't worry about it. There is no shortage at home now, but..."
He Yanqing and his father refused to give in on the phone. The former wanted to buy something, but the latter refused to ask for anything. An Ji knew that whatever he said at this time would be dragged in by his mother, so he just followed behind and pretended.
Quail, on the other hand, has received the true inheritance from his father.
"Okay, I've finished the phone call with your grandpa." An Ji followed without saying a word. Naturally, He Yanqing also knew what his daughter was hiding from. After hanging up the phone, he pulled her to his side, "What do you think?
Whatever your grandpa likes, take mom to buy some for your grandpa."
"Ah?" When did his own mother ask for his opinion? An Ji was stunned and couldn't tell what his grandfather liked for a while.
Calligraphy and painting? It was just a hobby cultivated by my grandfather. When he had time, he would write and draw in newspapers, and he was even reluctant to buy rice paper.
Eat and drink? Grandpa and grandma are typical thrifty housekeepers of the older generation. Unless they go back with their mother, they usually eat casually.
Not to mention collectibles such as gold and stones. My grandparents were both workers, so how could I have the leisure time to collect them?
"You don't know either?" He Yanqing was wondering what to buy for his father, and when he saw An Ji thinking for a long time with no results, he couldn't help but sigh, "Now that the family is not short of money, there is really no need to save money, tell them
How many times have I failed to listen?"
I don’t know what my grandparents like, and it’s certainly not An Ji’s fault. Usually the two old people have money and are reluctant to spend it, so they save it for He Yanqing’s family. As time goes by, their own preferences will naturally fade away.
"How about buying a knife of rice paper for grandpa?" After thinking for a moment, An Ji couldn't help but speak. The only thing he could think of was this...
Unexpectedly, He Yanqing directly rejected it as soon as he proposed it: "It's useless to buy it for him, but he still can't bear to use it after receiving it in the cabinet."
"I bought paper for him last time. I said I would use it after practicing it. It has not been opened yet. I'm afraid it will be eaten by insects in a while and it will not be used at all."
He Yanqing felt helpless when he mentioned these things. He understood that his parents were doing it for the good of his family, but now that the family was no longer short of money, it was time to change some of the old ideas. He was already so old, so there was no need to suffer for himself.
.
"Then..." Thinking of looking through the cabinets of his grandparents when he was a child, An Ji suddenly thought of something. He glanced sideways at his mother, and finally chose to keep silent, "Then I don't know what to give. Usually my grandparents have everything.
I can’t bear it, I really can’t buy them something good to eat.”
How could his own daughter's little tricks fool her mother? When An Ji was stunned for a moment, He Yanqing guessed what the former must have thought of. Although he didn't know why An Ji refused to say it, He Yanqing could also realize that it must have happened.
It has something to do with yourself.
"I usually buy a lot of food for them. Basically, if the good ones go bad, they are reluctant to eat them, so I just take them out when you go."
He Yanqing said that An Ji didn't realize that every time he went to his grandparents' house, the food he ate was the best. When he was a child, he still wondered why it was so similar to the food at home.
When An Ji grew up, he knew that it was his grandparents who kept all the good things his mother bought for them to eat when they went there, but they themselves couldn't bear to part with them at all - it was obvious that those things were bought for them by their parents.
"Now I don't want anything to buy them milk, and I can't bite the mooncakes anymore... Tsk, if we don't buy anything during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'd be fine. Your dad still doesn't agree."
An Ji has never been able to understand what his mother He Yanqing said. He often sees other people only caring about his parents, so that the other half is quite reluctant. How come when he comes to his own house, he becomes his father and has to give to his grandfather no matter what?
Grandma shopping?
An Ji also knew that his father was very good to his mother, but he always felt that there were other reasons behind it. If it was simply to thank his grandparents for raising his mother and eventually becoming his father's wife, and the latter wanted to give back, An Ji felt that it was not
Reality.
"What are you thinking about?" An Ji's thoughts were interrupted again by He Yanqing, "What have you thought about buying for your grandparents?"
"How about we go on a trip as a family of five? I'm on vacation, and your dad should have nothing to do in those days." After saying this, He Yanqing himself was deeply doubtful.
My two parents, He Yanqing, knew it very well. They both wanted to save money for themselves, so how could they be willing to spend money to travel?
Before An Ji could say anything, He Yanqing backed down: "Forget it, once I convince them both, the Mid-Autumn Festival is over."
"Hey... your dad isn't at home either, otherwise I'd better let him think of what to give." At this moment, He Yanqing thought of An Jianing's usefulness, sighed three times, and looked at his daughter, helpless.
"actually."
Now that the conversation had reached this point, An Ji decided to speak out his thoughts, even if his mother would overthink it - he might indeed have selfish motives deep down in his consciousness.
"Actually what?" Before An Ji said anything, He Yanqing began to ask and answer questions to himself, "Actually, your dad can't think of anything to give you, so he just made us, mother and daughter, rack our brains?"
"No." An Ji took a deep breath and decided to speak out in one go. Unexpectedly, a call suddenly came to his cell phone.
"An Ji, we may be busy here in the next two days. We have a small event. Can you come and help me?" The voice on the phone was midsummer's. "The other thing is that we have to prepare new styles for the Spring Festival. Please accompany me."
design?"
An Ji knew that his best friend was seizing every opportunity to find an opportunity for him. While he was happy, he secretly sighed that it would have been better if the call had come a few minutes later.
I mustered up the courage to speak, but when I hung up the phone, I was afraid I wouldn’t dare to say it again.
"OK, no problem."
"I'm outside now. Let's chat on WeChat later." After dealing with his best friend quickly, An Ji planned to speak quickly while his mood was high, and hung up the phone within a few words.
"Mom, I saw silk clothes hanging in my grandpa's and grandma's cabinets before, and they were all carefully taken care of. Why don't we buy some fabric and go to the tailor to make two sets of clothes for my grandpa and grandma?"
As soon as An Ji said this, He Yanqing fell into silence as expected: "Are you planning to buy some Hangluo to make clothes for them?"
"Don't tell me what you think, but think about how long it took you to sew by hand when you originally designed that dress?" In order to avoid quarrels, He Yanqing also tried to avoid topics that could easily cause disputes between the two.
"Go to the tailor. Do you know the length of your grandparents' bodies, sleeves, and trousers?"
“If you can’t finish a piece of clothing after the National Day, how can you still wear it when it’s cold?”
An Ji had to admit that apart from his grandparents' preferences, he did have selfish motives, so he spoke indiscriminately without even thinking about the construction period and a series of other issues.
"Then we'll give it away during the Spring Festival." An Ji clearly didn't want to argue with his mother over this matter anymore, but An Ji still seemed to have said it without thinking.
