Tang Qing pushed a shopping cart to buy items in the supermarket. This was her first time entering a large shopping mall. She usually buys items from nearby small stores.
Carpenter Wang, Da Mao, and Sha Gu went to collect the rent, Wang Xinjie went to the print shop, and the butcher and Aunt Shanghai went back to tidy up the room.
Wang Carpenter temporarily lives in Pig Killer's original house, and Wang Xinjie temporarily lives in Tang Qing's place.
Because Wang Xinjie wanted to live with Tang Qing, Tang Qing went to a large shopping mall and supermarket for the first time to purchase items.
From toothpaste and toothbrushes to bed sheets, from milk bread to nuts and potato chips, Tang Qing purchased two large bags of items and started cleaning the house. He was so busy that he rushed to his parents-in-law in the evening and invited them and Xiaoqiang to go to his parents' small courtyard.
.
"Manager Tang, Mrs. Tang, I'm causing trouble for you."
"Hello grandpa, hello grandma, I'm causing trouble for you."
At dinner time, Wang Carpenter and Wang Xinjie came to Tang Qing's parents' house.
According to Tang Qing's arrangement, before Wang Carpenter's new store opened and Wang Xinjie went to college, their grandparents and grandchildren had three meals a day at her parents' place.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
Xiaoqiang was acquainted with her, and as soon as Wang Xinjie walked in the door, she went over and snuggled against her body and never left.
"Xiaoqiang, you should call me aunt."
Tang Qing corrected Xiaoqiang.
"Mom, shouldn't the person called aunty be as old as you? I still like to be called sister."
Xiaoqiang snuggled closer to Wang Xinjie.
"Xiaoqiang, your mother is still very young, not old at all."
Wang Xinjie leaned down and hugged Xiaoqiang affectionately in her arms.
"Sister, my mother is not old at all compared to my grandma, but she is very old compared to you."
"Isn't my sister very old compared to you?"
"My sister is not older than me."
"What is that?"
"Mature."
"Hahaha, this kid!"
"Master Wang, Xinjie, come quickly and sit down to eat."
Tang Qing's parents and parents-in-law warmly invited Wang Carpenter, and Wang Xinjie took a seat.
"Sister, my grandma cooked this deliciously. My grandma cooked this deliciously!"
As soon as he sat down, Xiaoqiang filled Wang Xinjie's plate with vegetables.
"Xiaoqiang, you should also pick up food for Grandpa Wang?"
"Mom, Grandpa Wang and grandpa, grandpa is drinking. He is an adult and I don't need to pinch him."
"Then my sister is an adult too?"
"My sister is still studying. People who study are still children."
"Xiaoqiang, who told you that people who study are still children?"
"An old man on TV said it."
"What did he say?"
"He said that reading makes you young. If you read regularly, it can keep you childlike."
"Wow, my Xiaoqiang is really awesome, I can remember it like this."
"Mom, I can memorize more than a hundred Tang poems. In the future, like sister Xinjie, I will go to college and become an engineer."
"Okay, let's all toast and wish Xiaoqiang healthy growth!"
"I wish Xiaoqiang to become an outstanding engineer in the future!"
Tang Qing's family drank with Wang Carpenter and Wang Xinjie. Wang Carpenter and Tang Qing's father and father-in-law drank rice wine. Tang Qing, Tang Qing's mother, Tang Qing's mother-in-law, Wang Xinjie and Xiao Qiang drank fruit juice.
Because of Xiaoqiang, Wang Carpenter and Wang Xinjie did not feel any restraint in Tang Qing's house, but instead allowed them to regain the long-lost family affection.
Sitting together as a family to have a meal is the most common and common thing, and it is also the most basic affection of a family.
But for Wang Xinjie, it only existed in her childhood memory. This memory was also accompanied by her grandmother's dirty words insulting her grandfather at the dinner table, and the smell of gunpowder in the verbal battle between her mother and her father. Later, the family simply ate their own food.
Wang Banxian had been fending for himself all day long. Wang Xinjie's grandma and mother were in the furniture store all day long. Wang Xinjie's father went to other places to do business. Only Wang Carpenter would go home and do some work for Wang Xinjie after finishing his talk at the People's Barber Shop every day. They waited for her to come back from school to eat together, and the relationship between the grandfather and grandson has been maintained until now.
"Master Jiujin, do you think my grandfather's new store can be opened?"
After dinner, Wang Xinjie and Tang Qing took Xiaoqiang back to his grandparents' place and then went for a walk on the embankment.
"Xinjie, do you think I really want to ask your grandpa to open a new store?"
"Master Jiujin, didn't you tell my grandpa to open the shop quickly?"
"Xinjie, is it so easy to open a store? It's even more difficult to make money, not to mention your grandpa is already so old."
"What do you mean, Master Jiujin?"
"Xinjie, you should know your grandfather better than I do. He is kind-hearted, but timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He also likes to talk about gods and gods, so I am worried that something will happen to him again."
"Master Jiujin, are you afraid that my grandfather's little money will be defrauded by others?"
"Yes, if I don't ask him to open a new store, he will definitely put the money into Daduqian to 'money begets money'."
"Master Jiujin, is that President Qian a liar?"
"It's not necessarily a liar, but there's definitely something wrong with the 'money begets money' activity he's doing. I've been trying to catch him, but I can't."
"Oh, it's better to keep the money in the bank. Master Jiujin, what if my grandfather really opens a shop?"
"Xinjie, don't worry, as long as I'm here, it's impossible for him to open a new store."
"Why?"
"If he wants to open a new store, he must come to ask for my opinion. Can't I just find a reason to say this doesn't work and that doesn't work?"
"But what if he is serious? Isn't it all in vain to go to the store and so on?"
"Xinjie, I just want him to run away in vain. He used to be too idle and only talked nonsense in the People's Barber Shop all day long. As a result, his family ended up like this."
"Master Jiujin, this is probably because my grandma and my mother are so bad."
"The ill-intentions of your grandma and your mother are of course an important factor, but your grandfather's role as the hands-off shopkeeper is also a major factor. If your grandpa can take up the responsibility as the head of the family and stop your grandma and your mother's misbehavior in time, If you educate your father to be a good man in time, will the current situation be possible?"
"That's true. Whenever my grandmother, mother, and father quarrel, my grandfather always hides aside, or simply goes out to the People's Barber Shop to talk nonsense."
"So, your grandfather and your great-grandfather are both failures in dealing with family issues."
"Master Jiujin, I don't want to have a family in the future."
"Xinjie, how can a person not have a family? A person cannot have a family."
"Master Jiujin, I would rather not have a family like ours."
"Xinjie, what do you think of our family?"
"Master Jiujin, your home is the real home. I envy Xiaoqiang so much that he can have such a warm home."
"Xinjie, a warm and harmonious home requires every family member to work together and maintain it. You think, two strangers living together, if they can't tolerate and love each other, they will definitely not be able to survive, let alone
A big family spanning several generations.”
"Master Jiujin, you are so philosophical."
"Xinjie, Master Jiujin can't say such words. These are what my grandfather taught me."
"Master Jiu Jin, Eunuch Tang must be a very knowledgeable man."
"Xinjie, my grandfather is just an ordinary barber. He carries the burden of barbering all day long and goes around the villages and alleys to shave people's heads."
"I really want to see Eunuch Tang. He must be very handsome, right? Much more handsome than those stylish barbers in beauty salons now, right?"
"Xinjie, didn't I tell you? My grandfather is just an ordinary barber. You will be shocked when you see his appearance. By the way, there is a portrait of my grandfather in the Li family's old house. You can go there if you have the chance.
have a look."
"Master Jiujin, the Li family's old house is an ancient building. This is what I studied in college. I must study it carefully when the time comes."
"We'll go early tomorrow morning!"
Tang Qing then remembered that she had not been to the Li family's old house after the typhoon.
