I trade in both worlds

"Everything is ready~." The three children answered in unison, and the whole carriage was filled with laughter.

Even Xu Tiantian, who was already one year old, followed suit and shouted “good, good, good”.

Xu Ziqing gently adjusted the speakers and played a heartwarming Spring Festival song. The melodious tune added a bit of festive atmosphere.

Several children kept twisting their bodies to the music and occasionally sang a few lines.

Listening to the childish and out-of-tune singing voice, Xu Ziqing laughed all the way to the mall parking lot.

After getting off the bus, Xu Ziqing suddenly asked, "By the way, the children haven't bought new clothes for the New Year yet."

"Ah." Xu Xu was stunned: "Didn't I make two new sets of cotton-padded clothes for them in the past two months? The clothes are still new and can be worn during the New Year."

This time it was Xu Ziqing's turn to be stunned: "Don't you wear new clothes during the New Year?"

"In our farming family, clothes are passed down from older to younger generations. Those with better conditions have to wait several years before making a new set for their children," Xu Xu explained.

In fact, in modern times, it was the same decades ago. The custom of wearing new clothes during the Spring Festival has only emerged in the last ten or twenty years as living conditions have improved.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ziqing continued to ask: "What about you? You must have always worn new clothes when you were a child, right?"

Xu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but when clothes get too small or torn, they make new ones. I don't say I make clothes specifically for the New Year."

"Is that so? However, since you have come to the modern world this year, you should also follow modern customs and buy new clothes for the children to wear during the New Year." Xu Ziqing suggested with a smile.

"Do the children here wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year?" Xu Xu looked at her curiously.

Xu Ziqing nodded: "From head to toe, inside and out, everything is new."

Xu Xu was amazed. Modern children are so happy.

She looked down at the children, then at Xu Tiantian, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go buy new clothes for the New Year."

Xu Ziqing took Xu Xu directly to the traditional Chinese children's clothing store upstairs to buy Hanfu children's clothing.

The five-year-old twins Xu Jin and Xu Zhun already have their own aesthetics and preferences.

They picked up a red coat, then set their eyes on a sweater with cartoon patterns.

Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu accompanied them patiently, choosing suitable clothes according to their preferences and body shapes.

Three-year-old Xu Qiwei is curious about everything.

He touched this piece of clothing, then pulled that pair of pants.

Xu Xu smiled and took his hand, guiding him to try on one piece after another.

Although one-year-old Xu Tiantian cannot speak yet, her bright big eyes already reveal her love for the new clothes.

She pointed at the little flowers on this dress, and then touched the little rabbit on that dress.

Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw her cute appearance.

After careful selection and trying on, the children finally bought new clothes that they were satisfied with.

Carrying large and small shopping bags, I returned to the parking lot, put the bags away, and then went back to the supermarket.

The supermarket entrance is already crowded with people, and the red lanterns and spring couplets decorated it in a festive manner, making people feel the strong festive atmosphere as soon as they enter.

The shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods. Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, and red lanterns are hung in every corner of the supermarket, and all kinds of New Year goods are piled up like mountains.

The candy area is filled with colorful candies, including chocolates, fruit candies, and milk candies, which are dazzling.

The dried fruit area is filled with a variety of nuts, including walnuts, almonds, cashews, almonds, etc., which are fragrant.

The fruit area is even more colorful, with apples, oranges, bananas and other fruits that are fresh and tempting.

Xu Xu hugged Xu Tiantian, Xu Jin held the corner of Xu Xu's clothes tightly, and Xu Ziqing held Xu Zhun and Xu Qiwei's hands, and walked among the crowd.

"Wow, so many people!" Xu Zhun looked at the crowded crowd at the supermarket entrance and exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, because everyone comes to buy New Year's goods and prepare for the New Year." Xu Ziqing explained with a smile.

At the same time, he reminded the other children, "Follow closely, don't get lost."

Xu Xu and Xu Ziqing each pushed a shopping cart and went directly to the food area.

Xu Zhun and Xu Jin excitedly threw various snacks into the shopping cart: "This, this, and that, I want them all."

Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu followed behind, watching them busy with their work with a smile, and occasionally replenishing some necessities according to everyone's taste.

Xu Qiwei couldn't sit still in the shopping cart anymore. He pointed at the twins and said to Xu Ziqing, "Auntie Qing, I want to get off. I want to buy food too."

Xu Ziqing coaxed, "Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. Look at how many people there are in the supermarket. If you come down and get taken away, you'll never see your mother, uncle, and sister again."

Xu Qiwei looked around and saw people everywhere. He started to get a little scared. He nodded and pointed at the shelf in front of him: "I want that."

Xu Ziqing turned around and saw a huge colorful candy with candy gift boxes piled underneath. The gift boxes were printed with various cute cartoon characters, which really looked attractive to children.

Xu Ziqing smiled, pushed him over, picked out a box and handed it to him.

"Uncle, uncle, look, look at this." Xu Qiwei excitedly raised the candy box to the twins.

"Wow, this looks delicious." Xu Jin and Xu Zhun immediately came over, their eyes sparkling.

"Sister, we want it too." They asked in unison.

Xu Xu picked it up and took a look. The package looked large, but it weighed less than half a pound, and there were only 12 pills in a box.

12 candies per person is still possible, so he smiled and nodded: "Take it, one box per person."

Xu Tiantian understood and pointed at the candy box: "Na na na na na."

Xu Ziqing smiled and pinched her little fat bag: "You also understood that there is one box for each person, but it's a pity that it doesn't include you. You don't have one."

"Ahhhhhh." Xu Tiantian yelled at her fiercely.

"Hahahahahaha." Xu Ziqing looked at her fierce look with bared teeth and was so touched by her cuteness.

Xu Tiantian was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, and soon she looked at Xu Xu with a wronged look on her face.

Xu Xu stroked her little hair: "Tiantian can't eat this, can I buy something else?"

After saying that, he looked around, walked to the next shelf, took out a small bag of cheese sticks and handed it to her: "Tiantian, eat this."

This Xu Tiantian is very familiar. She eats one every now and then, smiling and holding the cheese stick with open arms.

After a while, he pushed the cheese stick in his arms to Xu Xu and motioned her to open it.

Xu Xu took the cheese stick and put it in the shopping cart, coaxing: "You can't eat this yet. You have to wait until you pay. Can you have a small cookie first?"
