Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

It’s time to prepare for the Chinese New Year, and the family is busy again! Not only do we need to clean the house thoroughly inside and out, but we also have to carefully prepare various New Year goods and prepare New Year gifts for each family.

Moreover, she had to rush to make new clothes for the whole family. All these things were really overwhelming!

After finally finding a day off, Old Lady Yang took her daughter-in-law Li and granddaughter Xiao Cao to the street to buy New Year's goods. The three of them talked and laughed along the way.

In the carriage, Old Lady Yang suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned to look at Xiao Cao'er beside her and asked with concern: "Xiao Cao'er, have you remembered everything we want to buy? Don't wait until we get there to find out that you forgot something."

When Li heard this, she quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, my girl, you have to be careful about this matter. We have a lot of things to buy."

Xiao Cao nodded obediently and answered confidently: "Grandma, mother, don't worry, I have already written it all down yesterday. Otherwise, I will talk to you two now to see if there is anything I forgot."

However, Old Lady Yang repeatedly waved her hands and refused, "No, no, my dear granddaughter has always been reliable and trustworthy. Grandma trusts you."

Old Lady Yang muttered to herself: "Besides, there are too many things to buy. Even if you tell me everything at once, I won't be able to figure out if there is anything I have missed. So, you should just remember it by yourself and don't ask me."

Actually, it wasn't that Old Lady Yang was too bothered by the trouble and didn't want to listen to Xiao Cao's report. It was just that she was too busy and tired these days. Even if she went out shopping today, she was there with an important task to do. How could she have the leisure to slowly sort out the shopping list?

The wide streets are bustling with people and cars. It is so lively! At this moment, the New Year is approaching, and ordinary people who have a little more money will go out of their homes and go to the market to buy various items to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

After all, as the saying goes, "Whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year." On weekdays, others may not care too much about how people eat, wear and spend money at home, but when the New Year comes, relatives who have worked outside will return home for reunions, and it is inevitable that they will compare and show off with each other.

For example, which child has returned and what kind of novel and valuable gifts he has brought; or which man has added what things to the house after returning; or which family has made new clothes for the children, etc.

These were not small matters for ordinary people. They would usually try to split every penny into two and would not spend any more. The money in the family was saved for the New Year, and only then would they buy everything together.

This situation may not be obvious if you live in the city, but it is completely different if you live in the countryside. Here, neighbors have close relationships and know each other well.

Your neighbors may even know more about what your family has eaten today and when they have eaten meat than you do!

Back then, the Yang family lived in extreme poverty. They were lucky to have coarse grains to fill their stomachs and barely eat until they were half full. How could they dare to dream of tasting those big, plump steamed buns? Not to mention buying enough to feed the whole family!

Therefore, at that time, the Yang family usually relied on Xiao Cao'er to bring back some coarse grains from the market, and occasionally mixed them with some fine grains such as white rice and white flour, and ate them together.

Fortunately, the Yang family lived a short distance away from other families. If not, I don't know what other families would say about them.

Back then, the Yang family was in a difficult situation with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat, but now they can have a full meal every day. There must be a reasonable explanation for this, otherwise others will think that his family's money came from an unknown source.

I still remember the year when Xiaocao'er was born. There was a severe famine and every household had very little food left, making it difficult to even maintain basic livelihood.

However, in such a difficult situation, the Yang family still had white flour buns to eat! The village chief happened to see this and persuaded Yang Dashan, "Dashan, the current year is really bad, so you have to save food. You see, if you replace one meal of white flour with coarse grains, you can have two more meals."

In fact, all these grains were taken by Xiaocaoer from the mall, but she couldn't tell the village chief, so she made the excuse that they were all sent by Li's uncles.

Later, the Yang family started a brine business, and their lives gradually improved. The house was often filled with tempting meat aromas. Whenever someone asked about it, the Yang family would always use the excuse that they were generously helped by Uncle Li.

Because of this, the village chief would stroll around Yang Dashan's house every now and then. In fact, the village chief really went to Yang Dashan's house for something, and he didn't go there specifically to get a free meal.
