small landlord [food]

Just when Shen Yuan was sitting at the counter revived, several groups of people came and went in the store one after another, most of them were also the team for the New Year's goods, all of them came together, there was nothing empty in their hands, a bag of gift boxes Holding the bag, his face was full of joy, and his heart felt warm when he saw people.

Shen Yuan stared at the last wave of guests leaving, finally remembered his mission, stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Shen.

"I'll go with you. It's almost closing time anyway." Mrs. Shen started to tidy up as she spoke, and finally took out all the money from the cash register, counted it, and put it neatly into the pocketbook. In the leather bag, he said beamingly, "The money will be credited to the account later, and it will not be deposited in the bank. Let's buy more today if we can."

"Okay, listen to sister-in-law."

Then Shen Yuan regretted it.

After taking a taxi and turning into the commercial district, Shen Yuan gasped, the crowd of people moving in front of him, the bustling traffic was beyond his expectation.It coincides with the busiest time of the year, people selling New Year’s goods will almost fill up the whole street, and the sound of Didi’s cars will almost deafen people’s ears. The unclear head made him almost have a panic attack, and the corners of his mouth drooped unconsciously.

"so many people?"

Although Shen Yuan's frustrated voice was low, it was still heard by Mrs. Shen. She quickly got off the back of the tricycle, swept forward, and nodded clearly, "I want to finish the New Year's goods before the 28th. Naturally, people Too much, lock the car over there, I'll wait for you here."

Looking in the direction Aunt Shen pointed, Shen Yuan nodded obediently and drove there. When she got the card back, Aunt Shen was on the phone. Shen Daqing was probably on the other end of the phone. The two reported to each other. After the trip, Mrs. Shen turned her head to pull him.

"Let's go to the supermarket first, there are not many people at this time."

Is that not much?It was an eye-opener for Shen Yuan, the entrance of the supermarket next to the street was almost packed to the brim, Mrs. Shen was still walking like flying as usual, she rushed in after pulling him to post a bag.

Shen Yuan was still looking through the list, Mrs. Shen had already started packing candies and melon seeds on the first floor.

"Buy bowls and chopsticks." Mrs. Shen pushed the cart to greet Shen Yuan, and then proceeded to the other side familiarly.

"Bowls and chopsticks...?" Shen Yuan hurriedly looked for them on the list.

"Bowls and chopsticks have to be filled every year, no need to look for them, they must be on the list."

"..."

For the rest of the time, Shen Yuan was like a puppet on a string, being led around in a crowded supermarket in a dizzy state, watching Mrs. Shen grasping from one side to another, her movements fast and precise. , Sometimes he can get exactly what he wants from the shelf without even looking at it, which makes him admire.

And the list that he enshrined as an imperial decree was basically useless, except that he was nervously grasping for comparison at the beginning, and then stuffed it back into his pocket.What's so interesting, by the time he finds the item he wants to buy, Mrs. Shen has already moved on to the next item, it's a waste of effort.

In the county town, everyone is a friend, and everyone is a classmate. Just going around like this, Mrs. Shen and Shen Yuan met seven or eight acquaintances one after another. Chatting about the recent situation and talking to each other about the things they want to buy, going back and forth is exhausting. For a long time, Mrs. Shen moved very quickly, and when the two of them came out of the supermarket, the gloomy sky was already dark.

After Shen Yuan took a deep breath of the cool air mixed with various car exhaust, food smells, etc., he was still very dizzy, but Mrs. Shen was in high spirits, and she dragged him into the shopping mall next door.

It is a tradition for them to put on new clothes on the first day of the new year. The Shen family has a large population, and they have recently filled in a baby, which is six sets of new clothes. The direction to go, the heart will be broken.

Why didn't Shen Daqing settle the clothes first?He is most annoyed by buying clothes. Mother Shen is not satisfied with the expensive ones, and she is also unhappy with the cheap ones. The styles and colors can be picked by Shen's mothers, which is simply thankless.

Mrs. Shen didn't have the decisiveness in the supermarket this time. Every time she went to a store, she had to stop for a while, looking at this one and that one, and when she saw something she liked, she picked it up and carefully studied it from the inside to the inside. After a while, but...she just didn't buy it!

When a woman buys clothes, she can't be urged. Shen Yuan has learned this truth from Shen's mother a long time ago.Even though Shen Yuan was anxious to death, he didn't dare to open his mouth to urge him, so he could only calmly follow behind with a few big bags.

The two wandered around for almost an hour, but still found nothing. Just when Shen Yuan was about to return to the nine heavens, the figure walking towards them in front of him made him come back to his soul again - it was Zhou Yi and his sister.

Mrs. Shen also saw them, she was still holding a red coat in her hand, and hurriedly called out, "Xiao Zhou, are you here to buy clothes with your sister?"

Zhou Juan immediately put on a smiling face, leaned close to Mrs. Shen affectionately, and said, "That's right, everyone in the family has a share, and I don't feel worried about letting Xiao Yi come by himself. Their men's vision is not good enough."

"That's true," Mrs. Shen smiled and glanced at Shen Yuan who was standing like a wooden stake, and joked, "Look at our family, the eyes are straight, counting on them, you don't have to visit the house during the Chinese New Year."

"I heard from Xiaoyi that you opened a dessert shop recently? You see, I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to go and have a look. The business is good, right? Why are you so free today? Who is watching in the shop?"

"The door closed a little early today, isn't it for the New Year's shopping?" Aunt Shen patted her reproachfully, "Look at you, you're busy, you might come over some other day to cheer on me, and I'll pack something delicious for you."

"I have to go if you don't tell me." Zhou Juan picked up the coat that had been hanging out for a long time in Mrs. Shen's hand, looked at it over and over for a while, and said critically, "It's too gorgeous."

"I think so too," Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement, then picked up another coat, "How about this one?"

The two women got together affectionately, nodding and commenting on the clothes, Shen Yuan looked at them silently and sighed, wondering if he can leave today when the mall closes?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a light in his hand, Shen Yuan gasped involuntarily, his fingers that had been strangled by the bag felt numb and painful, when he turned his head, it was Zhou Yi who was poking his head into the bag, Can't help but put the bag in the other hand to him in a funny way, "I'll give you all, take a look."

"You're the only one with a lot of thought." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at him, and said helplessly while holding the bag that had been forced over him, "When are you going to answer the phone?"

"It depends on your mood." Shen Yuan bumped his shoulder into him and whispered, "Hey, aren't you going to rely on me?"

"It's a good idea." Zhou Yi sneered, and said seriously, "To be honest, there are too many customers here on New Year's Eve, so remember to save some honey for me, and I'll get it in two days. "

"The price will go up at the end of the year."

"Okay, I know. What has Li Yajun been up to lately? I haven't seen anyone."

"How would I know? I haven't been in touch with him recently."

The two murmured in the back, and walked slowly with Mrs. Shen and Zhou Juan. When the two of them had nothing to say, the several big bags in their hands were turned down several times. The women over there Finally decided to go home.

Shen Yuan looked down at his watch, um, it's only been three hours, it's really fast.

A woman who has finished shopping for clothes is always in a good mood. Mrs. Shen and Zhou Juan quickly established a revolutionary friendship. When they were parting, they still hugged each other reluctantly. Shen Yuan took another step back silently. It's greasy enough.

Watching his movements, Zhou Yi curled his lips in a sneer, strode forward, and said, "Sister-in-law Shen, my mother likes your lotus seed cake very much, and she must prepare it for the Chinese New Year, and sister-in-law can give it to us." Save a little."

Zhou Juan probably felt that he was being too impolite, so she turned her head and glared at him. Shen Yuan saw Zhou Juan's foot 'accidentally' kicking Zhou Yi's calf, and couldn't help snickering twice. .

Zhou Yi went back and forth to Shen's house a lot since he was a child, and lived in Shen's house for a while. Mrs. Shen has long since treated him as an outsider. Hearing this, she naturally continued: "Don't worry, I'll tell my mother later, let me tell you what to do." You guys save a little more, and you can call when you have time, and you can go to the store or go to your home to get it."

A few people stood on the side of the street sticky and talked for a while, until Shen Yuan shivered a little from the cold, and Zhou Yi dragged the reluctant Zhou Juan away.

Finally able to go home!

"Youngest, let's go to the west of the city."

"...What are you going to the west of the city for?" Shen Yuan's relieved exhalation was abruptly interrupted, his throat hurt and his face was crooked.

"Buy some big ingredients."

"Why didn't you buy it in the supermarket just now...?" Shen Yuan looked at the already dark sky, and said a little discouraged, "Fan Yuan should be eating at this time, let's go tomorrow."

Aunt Shen was not worried at all, she took Shen Yuan to pick up the car, laughed at him as she walked, and said, "You are a little uncle, you remember it better than I do, don't worry, mom and your elder brother are both at home, hungry It’s not for him. The big ingredients in the supermarket are not good, so don’t worry about buying from old stores.”

Rest assured is relieved, cold is really cold.

They drove a small tricycle against the cold wind, all the way from the south of the city to the west of the city, and finally caught up with the moment before the store closed to buy a lot of things such as aniseed, sauce and vinegar, and then ran non-stop in the direction of Yangjia Village.

It was only seven or eight o'clock, and the crowds on the street subsided, and the sparse snowflakes began to float again. Shen Yuan's fingers were so cold that he lost consciousness. When the two returned to Shen's house, their bodies were already covered in snowflakes. A layer of white gauze was put on.

"Hurry up, take off your clothes quickly."

As soon as she entered the house, Shen's mother rushed up to meet her, and she stuffed a blanket in her hand, and asked with a frown, "Why did you come back so late? I don't rush this day. You guys are in a hurry."

Mrs. Shen took off her somewhat wet coat, wrapped it in a blanket, and moved to Fan Yuan who was sitting on Father Shen's lap. She wanted to reach out and hug him, but she was worried that the temperature in her hand would touch him, so she just smiled and looked at her little brother. The son smiled and said: "I went to buy clothes for Fan Yuan, and by the way, I went to the west of the city to buy some big ingredients. We are used to eating their food during the Chinese New Year. His house closes at 27. I am afraid that I will forget it in two days." So, I rushed over to buy some while thinking about it.”
