Returning to the hotel room with a bunch of trophies, Zhao Qinglan felt indescribably satisfied.
It feels so good to take the whole family shopping together, and Haishi is indeed a big city after Beijing, and even better than Beijing in some aspects.
She was quite satisfied, but it exhausted the men in the family.
The children were quite curious at first, but as they wandered around, they found it no longer interesting.
Today's trip has also caused a huge psychological shadow on Sanwa. In his mind, shopping, especially shopping with his mother, has become one of the scariest things.
But none of them rushed to Zhao Qinglan to complain.
On the other hand, Xiaoduo, perhaps out of the nature of being a woman, found shopping quite interesting.
The ones who bought the most things today were Xiaoduo and her mother.
The Dawa brothers were lying on the bed, and the phone rang in the house.
Da Wa kicked his brother's butt. "Go and answer the phone."
Erwa, frightened by her brother's bullying, could only get up and walk to the phone and picked up the receiver.
"Hey, who is it?"
"It's me, Cheng Tao, are you Yan Xun?"
"It's me, Brother Tao." Erwa smiled happily.
"I've made two calls today, but no one answered your phone. I thought you might have gone out, so I didn't wait until now to call you again."
"Brother Tao, what can you do?"
"I've just told my grandparents about inviting you to my house for dinner. They will come over soon, as long as it's before twelve o'clock noon."
"Brother Tao, wait a minute, you'd better tell my mother."
The eldest child heard what his younger brother said, and this time he didn't hide any more, got up and walked out.
When Erwa saw this, he continued chatting with Cheng Tao.
Zhao Qinglan quickly came over and took the call.
"Cheng Tao is me."
"Aunt Zhao, you can come to my grandpa's house for dinner before twelve o'clock tomorrow. My grandma will pick you up then."
"Cheng Tao, there's no need to answer the call. Just tell me your grandfather's home address and we'll go there ourselves."
Their family always cannot fit in one car, and two cars are required to pick them up, which is too troublesome.
"Okay, I'll give you my milk and they'll tell you."
"Well, Cheng Tao, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye Aunt Zhao."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qinglan went back to the room to discuss it with her husband.
"I'm going to Grandpa Cheng Tao's house for dinner tomorrow. Let's take a taxi there?"
"Okay." He said simply.
"It'll be fine if we arrive before twelve o'clock tomorrow. We'll leave early so we can't be late. By the way, when we get up tomorrow morning, we'll go out to buy some things."
How can you come to visit empty-handed?
When she was in the department store today, she wasn't sure how long she would be visiting, so she didn't buy anything to bring. Fortunately, she still had time to prepare tomorrow.
Visiting scenic spots in the morning and shopping in the afternoon, even Zhao Qinglan, who is in high spirits, is quite tired this time.
The big ones and the little ones rested in the room until it was almost dark and they were hungry, so they went out to look for food.
They had a sumptuous dinner of local dishes yesterday, and their stomachs were full of oil and water. They didn't go to a big restaurant for dinner this time.
Zhao Qinglan knew how to eat and search, and soon found a small restaurant that didn't look big but was very good.
The family went in and sat around a square table. Zhao Qinglan looked carefully at the features of the store hanging on the wall.
This small shop does not serve big dishes, but only some Haishi-specific delicacies and snacks, which just suits Zhao Qinglan's wishes.
After asking the children what they thought, she started ordering something.
"Four bowls of Yangchun noodles, two bowls of scallion pancakes, two bowls of scallion pancakes, two cages of steamed buns, and two cages of pan-fried noodles."
There are six people in their family, and the husband and the eldest and second child have big appetites. She is afraid that she will not be able to eat enough in the end.
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
This shop seemed to be opened by a family. While waiting, Zhao Qinglan also saw the food on the tables of the surrounding diners.
Erwa swallowed when she saw how delicious it was.
"When will our food come?"
Zhao Qinglan couldn't help laughing. "For those who don't know, I'd think you haven't eaten in days, so how long have we been waiting?"
Li Huai was also at a loss for his second son's gluttony and looked at his son angrily.
After receiving his father's gaze, the second child immediately did not dare to nag.
The store sells things very quickly.
Within a few minutes, six bowls of noodles were served twice.
"You guys eat first, the rest will be ready soon."
Zhao Qinglan smiled at the person and picked up the chopsticks to eat the noodles.
Erba, who couldn't wait any longer, had already started sucking it off, and he ate it the most deliciously.
For a moment, the only sound on the table was the sound of eating noodles.
Zhao Qinglan ate Yangchun noodles, and Li Huai had noodles mixed with scallion oil. Halfway through the meal, she wanted to taste the noodles mixed with scallion oil, so she stared at her husband's bowl.
"How about we eat instead?"
Without saying a word, Li Huai brought his wife's bowl over, sent his own bowl over, then lowered his head and continued eating noodles.
Erwa's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he immediately stared at his younger brother who was also eating noodles mixed with scallion oil.
"Sanba, why don't we switch over too?"
Sanwa glanced at her brother. "Are you sorry?"
The second baby ate too fast and almost finished the noodles, leaving basically noodle soup in the bowl, while the third baby ate slowly and still had more than half a bowl of noodles left.
"Hey hey hey, I'm sorry, you have a small appetite, I'll help you eat some."
Sanwa immediately stretched out her hand to protect her bowl.
Helpless, Erwa could only look at Zhao Qinglan pitifully.
"Mom, please give me a taste."
Zhao Qinglan didn't mind giving her son a few bites of her bowl, but before she could say anything, Li Huai kicked her son under the table.
"Go and eat your own meal."
That noodle is what I left for my wife. You brat can eat whatever you want. That’s my affection for my wife. You can show it when you have a wife in the future. It’s really not a wink!
Zhao Qinglan was helpless at her husband's "small-mindedness" and could only shout, "Here is another bowl of noodles mixed with scallion oil."
"Okay."
The second baby, who was feeling aggrieved after being kicked by his father, immediately became happy and his eyebrows almost flew to the sky. "Mom is better."
"Huh?" Li Huai snorted.
Erwa immediately suppressed his laughter and lowered his head to eat noodles.
The eldest son was quite speechless at his younger brother's stupidity.
You said that you are provoking someone who is not good, and you have to pluck the hair from the tiger's head. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
When the pan-fried steamed dumplings arrived, Erwa quickly became happy again.
Zhao Qinglan was quite emotional about this. In fact, being able to eat delicious food makes her so happy. The happiness of her second child is the easiest among them.
The meal was also colorful.
When we came out after dinner, it was already dark. The family went to the Huangpu River under the night light and took a walk to eat.
The weather is hot now, and there are quite a few people going out for walks at night to cool off.
Zhao Qinglan found it particularly interesting to hear the Haishi people chatting in the local dialect Ala Ala.
It is true that every place has its own unique characteristics. If you often go out and take a look, people's knowledge and mood will be different.
This probably means that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
