Chapter 1702 Buy new shoes, be filial
"That's great, Tunan, you're great, you got admitted to No. 1 High School."
Song Ying was indeed a very warm-hearted person and was very kind to Zhou Chen and his family. She was equally happy that Zhuang Tunan was admitted to No. 1 Middle School.
She was so happy that she immediately said she was going to buy meat to make braised pork. Huang Ling walked out of the house and said happily that she was going to buy meat. Then she took all the meat tickets she had saved and joined Song Ying, arm in arm.
We went to the market to buy meat together.
Zhuang Xiaoting ran to Zhou Chen and said happily: "Second brother, the eldest brother has passed the entrance examination for No. 1 Middle School. You will also pass the entrance examination for No. 1 Middle School next year, right? I think you will definitely pass the entrance examination."
Zhou Chen smiled and touched her head and said, "Well, my second brother will also pass the first grade in the exam, and you will also pass the first grade in the future."
Zhuang Xiaoting was a little unsure: "I'm not as smart as my eldest and second brothers. I don't know if I can pass the exam."
"Who said that? Our Xiaoting is the smartest. Besides, if you don't have your second brother to help you, it will definitely be fine."
In the plot, Zhuang Xiaoting was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School based on her own performance, and now with Zhou Chen as her tutor, it was not that difficult for her to pass the No. 1 Middle School exam.
It happened that Zhuang Chaoying also came back at this time. Hearing Lin Dongzhe's yelling, he suddenly showed a happy look. He felt that Zhuang Tunan had lived up to his expectations. He received good news just after he came back, which was comparable to him being able to take the college entrance examination.
I was so happy to read the papers.
In order to celebrate Zhuang Tunan's admission to No. 1 Middle School, Zhuang and Lin's family bought a lot of meat and cooked a large plate of braised pork. The two families gathered in the small courtyard to eat together.
"The braised pork is so delicious, Xiao Ting. You eat the lean one and I eat the fat one. I like to eat the fat one. The lean meat will fill my teeth."
Among the few people, Lin Dongzhe ate the most happily, and Zhuang Xiaoting also laughed and ate together. In this day and age, it is really not easy to eat meat openly.
Lin Wufeng clinked glasses with Zhuang Chaoying and said with a smile: "Tunan was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School this year, and Tuxi skipped to the fifth grade. With his results, he will definitely be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School next year."
Zhuang Chaoying said: "Actually, I don't agree with him skipping a grade, but this kid has many ideas, and I can't control him. As for whether he can be admitted to No. 1 Middle School next year, who can say for sure?"
Song Ying immediately said: "Teacher Zhuang, this is so interesting. When parents hear that their children can skip a grade, it's too late to be happy. But you are still worried. If our Lin Dongzhe can skip a grade, I can dream of it."
When he wakes up with a smile, I will buy him whatever he wants."
Huang Ling smiled and said: "Song Ying, don't say that, maybe Dongzhe will have the opportunity to skip a grade in the future."
"Sister Ling, do you believe this? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Seeing Song Ying shaking her head, Zhou Chen couldn't help but said: "Aunt Song, I think Dongzhe has great potential. Maybe he can skip a grade next year."
But of course Song Ying couldn't believe it. She would rather believe that a sow could climb a tree than believe that her son had the ability to skip a grade.
Zhou Chen also ate a lot of this braised pork meal, and he slept more easily at night.
The summer vacation passed quickly, and school will start in just over a week. Zhou Chen did not do any homework writing business this summer, so he had no extra income.
But I saved some money before, but I haven't used it all. I still have twenty yuan left.
He earned a total of about 50 yuan by writing homework for him, and after a few months, he spent 30 yuan.
I have to say that spending in this era is really low. As long as you don’t buy too many things, just some snacks and the like, you won’t spend much money at all.
Zhou Chen came to the supply and marketing store and was going to buy some more candies for Zhuang Xiaoting. After buying the candies, he was about to leave when he suddenly looked at her.
I saw a pair of beautiful shoes placed squarely on the counter.
It was a pair of buckle-style shoes with a bit of a wedge heel, and a peony flower embroidered on the black suede surface. This was a very distinctive pair of embroidered shoes. In later generations, it might look very tacky, but in this 1970s
, the market for embroidered shoes is still very large.
"How much do these shoes cost?"
The female clerk in the supply and marketing store looked back and said with a smile: "Kids, these are shoes for adults. If you want to buy them, you can ask your mother to come over and buy them."
Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, Auntie, I often buy things for my mother."
The female clerk said with a kind face: "These shoes are shipped from Shanghai. They are the most fashionable style and the best materials. The price is not cheap. They cost fifteen yuan a pair. Children, do you want to buy them?"
Zhou Chen ignored what she said earlier. Shanghai and Suzhou are not far away. The price is fifteen yuan, which is not cheap. It is really rare for women to spend fifteen yuan on a pair of shoes these days.
"Bring me a pair in size thirty-seven."
"Do you really buy it?"
"certainly."
Zhou Chen took out fifteen yuan. Although he only had twenty left, he still spent fifteen yuan to buy this pair of shoes without hesitation.
Although the female clerk was very surprised that Zhou Chen had so much money and wanted to buy this pair of shoes, she had no reason not to sell them, so she took a pair of size 37, wrapped it up, handed it to Zhou Chen, and collected the money.
.
Zhou Chen returned home with the wrapped embroidered shoes.
As soon as they walked into the courtyard gate, they saw Huang Ling and Song Ying hanging clothes together.
"mom."
"Tusi, you're back."
Huang Ling was kind to Zhou Chen. If Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting went out, she might ask a few questions, but when Zhou Chen went out, she was very relieved.
Zhou Chen handed the wrapped embroidered shoes to Huang Ling.
"Mom, here you go."
"What is it?"
Huang Ling wiped her hands on the clothes, took them and opened them. When she saw the pair of black embroidered shoes inside, she was immediately shocked.
"Tusi, these shoes?"
"I just went to the store to buy candies and saw that these shoes are very nice. I thought they would look better on you, Mom, so I bought them for you."
Song Ying on the side shouted in shock: "Ah? Tuxi, you bought this for your mother?"
Huang Ling was also very surprised and asked: "Bought it for me? Where did you get the money to buy it? Why did you buy me shoes?"
Zhou Chen said: "I see that you always wear those two pairs of shoes. They are almost worn out and have not been replaced. It just so happens that the money I earned from doing homework has not been used up yet. I saw that these shoes suit you very well, so I bought them.
Already."
Huang Ling and Song Ying both found it incredible. If Zhou Chen was an adult, they wouldn't be so shocked, but Zhou Chen is just a ten-year-old child.
As for the money Zhou Chen mentioned from doing homework, they all knew about it, but they didn't expect that after such a long time, Zhou Chen would still have some leftover.
"Sister Ling, these embroidered shoes are so beautiful, Tuxi has really good taste."
Song Ying looked at Huang Ling with envy. She really thought it looked good. What's more, this was bought by her own son, so the meaning was even different.
Huang Ling thought more and hurriedly asked: "How much did it cost?"
"fifteen."
Without saying a word, Huang Ling pulled Zhou Chen directly: "Let's go to the store with me to check out."
"What's the point of returning it? Mom, I've said it will not be returned or exchanged. It cannot be refunded."
"Why can't I get a refund? Fifteen yuan is too expensive. You can buy a lot of meat."
She was very happy that Zhou Chen had such filial piety, but she would rather buy meat for her children than buy shoes for herself.
Zhou Chen said: "You don't have to eat meat, but you have to wear shoes. I bought these specially for you, and they won't be returned or exchanged, so you might as well keep them. Mom, you can try them on, they will definitely look good."
Song Ying persuaded from the side: "Yes, Sister Ling, I won't return or exchange it. This is Tusi's filial piety. You can wear it and see. It will definitely look good on your feet."
Without any explanation, she pushed Huang Ling to sit down, took off her shoes, and wanted to put on new shoes for her.
Huang Ling quickly stopped her, but she couldn't resist Song Ying's enthusiasm, so she finally agreed.
"I wear it myself, I wear it myself."
Huang Ling put on her new shoes and walked a few steps on the ground. Her face showed an expression of joy involuntarily. It could be seen that she liked the new shoes very much.
"It feels a bit bright, Tusi, can't you really retreat?"
Without waiting for Zhou Chen to answer, Song Ying said: "No, they look good. The black ones are so bright. Tuxi has really good taste. These shoes look really good on Sister Ling's feet. Sister Ling, these are Tuxi."
I don’t have the filial piety that I want, so just accept it with peace of mind.”
"Yes, Mom, Aunt Song is right, it looks really good on you, and I really don't give up, so just wear it."
Huang Ling was very satisfied and very happy. She couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"But I just think it's too expensive. At fifteen yuan, you can buy a lot of things."
